Mear One – Cognitive Dissonance

events Comments Off on Mear One – Cognitive Dissonance

mearIf you’re in SF, you won’t want to miss MEAR ONE’s largest show to date.  Opening Saturday, July 11th at White Walls Gallery 886 Geary St in SF from 7pm-11pm.

“Suppression and Oppression have left us disconnected from each other, ourselves, and the universe, from ancient wisdom, knowledge and understanding of all that was, is and could be. Yet despite what lies secret behind our vaults, I can’t escape the fact that we are all these subjects, they belong to all of us. For what has endured the whole of history is the idea of spirit linking us to a universal connection of a higher dimension, and our liberation exists somewhere within this context; the conscious solid world is but temporal in our eyes, castles made of sand await the hands of consciousness to reinterpret its matter.” – MEAR ONE

new music Comments Off on Kendrick Lamar – Alright

“I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence. Sometimes I did the same. Abusing my power–full of resentment, resentment that turned into a deep depression…”
