How to Break the Rules Like an Artist

By Gary Z. McGee

“Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.” ~Pablo Picasso

Rules are meant to be broken. It’s one of the oldest aphorisms in human history. But there’s a difference between breaking them like a pro and breaking them like an amateur.

Amateurs have no discipline. They are all chaos and no direction. They have potential but no potency. Their incompetence is outshone only by their ignorance. They break the rules like a toddler having never understood them.

A professional has discipline. They guide chaos into catharsis. Their potential is made poignant by their potency. Their competence leads to curiosity, creativity, and courage. They break the rules like an artist by first learning the rules like a pro.

A true professional digs deep. His (or her) discipline takes him into the nuts and bolts of the universe. What is my place here in this vast cosmos? What does it mean to be healthy despite entropy? What does it mean to be alive in a universe that is mostly not alive?

The rules of the universe are dictated by Universal Law. Alignment with Universal Law requires a deep understanding of what is healthy and what is not. Health is foundational. It’s the core of Universal Law. It’s that which speaks a “language older than words.”

The dance begins by properly interpreting this language. It begins by learning the rules dictated by the universe (often despite your opinions or cultural conditioning). It begins by discerning what is healthy and what is not. It begins by having the discipline to become aware of the rules that cannot be broken (Universal Law) and the rules that must be broken (human laws not in alignment with Universal Law).

As Herman Hesse said, “As anywhere else in the world, the unwritten law defeated the written one.”

Discipline is a sacred alignment with the unwritten law of health. When you align yourself with health, you align yourself with Universal Law. Thus, the sacred dance with the cosmos begins and the professional emerges.

In order to dance, you must have something to dance on. In order to fly, you must have something to fly through. In order to be free, you must have something to be free from.

Fall in line to learn where the lines are drawn. Tether your ego to learn discernment. Keep your shadow in check to learn boundaries. But eventually you must break rank to learn when boundaries must be transformed into horizons.

In your youth it was necessary to fall in line, tether the ego, and keep the shadow in check to achieve discipline; but in your maturity, it is vital that you integrate them in order to achieve wholeness. True wholeness implies a breaking away from cultural conditioning. It implies the integration of opposites. It implies exploration of the unknown. This is where artistry comes in.

The secret is strategically expanding and contracting. Break the rules, expand past your comfort zone, have a painful adventure, then contract back into your comfort zone to heal. Break, expand, venture, contract, heal. Then repeat. Discipline keeps the cycle going.

It’s an iterative dance. And it is meant to be difficult. It’s meant to be challenging. It’s not for the faint of heart. There’s a ruthlessness to it, an existential violence, a self-inflicted quality that strikes the soul. The goody two-shoes must leave their comfy shoes behind. The self-righteous must learn how to be wrong. The snowflakes must learn how to melt. The amateurs must sacrifice their ignorance on the Vesuvian slopes of their discipline,

Learn the rules like a pro in your comfort zone. Then break them like an artist by stretching it. But it’s a deep stretch. A soul-stretch. It will test your character. It will push your beliefs off a cliff. It will toss you naked and screaming onto the unforsaken path of your own Truth Quest.

As Descartes said, “If you would be a real seeker of truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.”

Breaking the rules like an artist will cause you to doubt all things. But it becomes a sacred doubt, a hallowing howl, a symbolic death. Suddenly you are free in a way that you never thought possible. You are free to question things, to turn tables, to flip scripts, to push envelopes. You are free to wield outlaw magic: to write outlaw words with outlaw symbols on outlaw flags. You are free to be reborn.

This newfound freedom actually reinforces the rules of the cosmos, it strengthens the Universal Law that binds all things. And from the nest of the Phoenix, you see how everything is connected to everything else. Your iteration gives way to cosmic beauty.

As Nietzsche said, “I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful”

Beauty comes from discipline and creativity. The discipline to align yourself with Universal Law. The creativity to be defiantly Dionysian despite a rigid Apollonian world. The discipline to hold the tension between opposites. The creativity to transform pain into a painting or misery into music or anger into poetry. The discipline to balance chaos and order. The creativity to transform chaos into catharsis.

To make things beautiful, you must learn how to be violent in your art so that you may be peaceful in your life. Indeed, art that doesn’t do violence to one’s settled state is not art at all. As the artist Banksy tagged, “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”

This is the epitome of learning the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.

Disciplined art transcends the “solid phase” of the Self and moves directly into the “vapor phase” of the Soul, providing a sacred space for healthy introspection regarding the human condition and its place in the universe.

As Frank Herbert wrote, “Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.”

So it goes with audacious art. It’s always one step beyond reason. Just as the artist is one step beyond the professional.

Pertaining to the Manipulation of the Human Nervous System

The Effects of Pulsed Microwaves

And Extra Low Frequency Electromagnetic Waves

on Human Brains?

Governments Routinely “Classify Information”

Pertaining to the Manipulation of the Human Nervous System

by Mojmir Babacek

In the year 1962 the American scientist Allan H. Frey carried out experiments with pulsed microwaves, which produced clicking, buzz, hissing or knocking sounds in the heads of people at a distance of up to several thousands yards. In his report, he also wrote that with the change of parameters he can produce pins and needles sensation or perception of severe buffeting in the head and claimed that this energy “could possibly be used as a tool to explore nervous system coding… and for stimulating the nervous system without the damage caused by electrodes“ (see this).

In other words, Allan Frey was on the path to finding the way how to manipulate the human nervous system at distance. This was quickly understood by the U.S. Government. For the next two decades Frey, funded by the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Army, was the most active researcher on the bioeffects of microwave radiation in the country. Frey caused rats to become docile by exposing them to radiation at an average power level of only 50 microwatts per square centimeter. He altered specific behaviors of rats at 8 microwatts per square centimeter. He altered the heart rate of live frogs at 3 microwatts per square centimeter. At only 0.6 microwatts per square centimeter, he caused isolated frogs’ hearts to stop beating by timing the microwave pulses at a precise point during the heart’s rhythm (see this and this).

In 1975, Allan Frey published  his research on blood-brain barrier in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, where blood-brain barrier (protecting brain from poison entering it together with blood) of rats, illuminated by pulsed radiofrequency, allowed dye to penetrate into their brains. His findings were confirmed by 13 different laboratories in 6 countries and with the use of different animals.

In 2012, Allan H. Frey wrote an article  where he described how the American Brooks Air Force falsified his experiment by selecting a contractor, who injected the dye into the intestines instead of into the blood, and in this way made sure that the dye will not appear in the brain. This was supposed to help the U.S. Air Force to obtain the aproval of people to build radars in their vicinity. According to Frey, the same Brooks Air Force Base later tried to “discredit unclassified research in the microwave area” in order to cover “a classified microwave-bio weapons program.”

Allan Frey concluded: “funding for open microwave-bio research in the United States was essentially shut down.” For that matter the general public (in the whole world) does not know anything about the possibility to control their brain activity at distance by the effects of pulsed microwaves on their nervous system until now.

In March 2021, the American scientist James C. Lin wrote an article on Havana syndrome, where he wrote that this trouble caused to American diplomats and government agents in Cuba and elsewhere, was most probably produced by pulsed microwaves (see this).

On December 5 2020 the U.S. Academy of sciences published a study on Havana syndrome, where it stated:

“Overall, directed pulsed RF (radio frequency) energy, especially in those with the distinct early manifestations, appears to be the most plausible mechanism in explaining these cases among those that the committee considered.”

But on March 2, 2023 the American television CNN published an article on the report of the 7 U.S. intelligence agencies. It said that “there is no credible evidence that a foreign adversary has a weapon or collection device that is capable of causing the mysterious incidents“ (Havana syndrome). In this way the U.S. intelligence agencies tried deny the validity of the scientific report by U.S. Academy of Science and to hide from the world general public the fact that pulsed microwaves can be used to attack their minds.

There is a large body of scientific experiments proving that extra low frequencies of electromagnetic radiation can produce effects in the human nervous system. What is common to microwaves and extra long electromagnetic waves is that both of them carry electric and magnetic fields. The neurons are full of ions and this electrolyte can easily function as an antenna, in which electromagnetic waves will produce electrical currents, which are essetial parts of nervous impulses in the brain.

At the International Conference on Nonlinear Electrodynamics in Biological Systems in 1983, sposored among others by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research, Friedeman Kaiser from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Stuttgart lectured on effects of extra low frequencies of electromagnetic waves on the human nervous system or “extreme high sensitivity of certain biological systems to very weak electromagnetic signals.” He stated:

“In the brain wave model… The external stimulus may only serve as a trigger to start an internal response signal… The system obeys the external drive, it oscillates with the external frequency…the slow external drive leads to an increasing modulation of the amplitude with the external frequency.”

He called this phenomenon “entrainment“ and suggested that “excitations of the proposed types could possibly lead to changes in the behavior and function of biosystems” (pg. 394). There is no better explanation for the Friedman Kaiser’s lecture than that the ELF electromagnetic frequencies produce electrical currents in the electrolyte inside of the nervous tissue. In the closing speech at that conference Samuel Koslov, a leading personality of the mind control project Pandora of the American Navy declared:

”If much of what we have heard is indeed correct, it may be not less significant to the nation than the prospects that faced the physics community in 1939 when the long-time predicted fissionability of the nucleus was actually demonstrated. You may recall the famous letter of Albert Einstein to President Roosvelt. When we’re in a position to do so in terms of our proofs, I would propose that an analogous letter is required” (pg. 596).

Already in 1980 John B. Alexander, former director of the U.S. Los Alamos National Laboratory in his article in the Military Review on remote control of human brain’s activity, wrote:

”whoever makes the first major breakthrough in this field will have a quantum lead over his opponent, an advantage similar to sole possession of nuclear weapons.”

In 2014, Chinese scientists published the results of an experiment in which they searched for microwave conductivity of electrolyte solutions. In the introduction they stressed that their experiment “plays an important role in investigating the interaction between electromagnetic waves and biological tissues that have high water content and a significant concentration of ions.” For their experiment they used a solution of salt. The chemical formula of salt is NaCl. It means it contains atoms of sodium and chloride. Ions of both of those atoms play an important role in the firing of nerve cells. The experiment proved that this electrolyte is conductive for microwaves up to  20 GHz frequency (see this). It is highly reasonable to expect that if those microwaves are pulsed in the frequencies of the frequencies of activity of neurons in the brain they will be “entrained“ to oscillate with those frequencies.

The MCS America organization, which fights against pollution, confirms this conclusion in its study on Electromagnetic Fields Sensitivity. The study states:

“The body can collect the signal and turn it into electric currents just like the antenna of a radio set or a cell phone. These currents are carried by ions… flowing through the living tissues and in the blood vessels (a system of tubes full of an electrically-conducting salty fluid that connect almost every part of the body) when these currents impinge on cell membranes, which are normally electrically charged, they try to vibrate in time with the current” (let us note that a neuron is a cell as well).

The veracity of those “speculations“ or “conspiracy theories“ is confirmed by the experiment, where 20 volunteers were exposed to the pulses of 217 Hz used in cell phone telephony and at the recordings of their electroencephalograms evoked potentials (or simply told electrical currents in the frequency) of 217 Hz were found (see this) or another one, where cell phone microwaves pulsed in 11 to 15 Hz produced changes in EEG during the sleep in 30 volunteers (see this). As well Australian scientists found out that:

“Not only could the cell phone signals alter a person’s behavior during the call, the effects of the disrupted brain-wave patterns continued long after the phone was switched off (see this).”

To complete this information it is necessary to say that the nervous system functions digitally and nervous actions differ by frequency and number of nervous impulses in which great number of neurons synchronize their action. In this way the activity of the human brain can be completely controlled including the thoughts. Robert Becker, who has been twice nominated for the Nobel prize for his research on electric potentials in organisms published in 1985 a book “Body Electric“, where he quoted the experiment, which was released voluntarily on basis of Freedom of Information Act. The author of the experiment J. F. Schapitz stated:

“In this investigation it will be shown that the spoken word of hypnotist may also be conveyed by modulated electromagnetic energy directly into the subconscious parts of the human brain — i. e. without employing any technical devices for receiving or transcoding the messages and without the person exposed to such influence having a chance to control the information input consciously.”

In one of the four experiments subjects should have been given a test of hundred questions, ranging from easy to technical ones. Later, not knowing they were being irradiated they would be subjected to information beams suggesting the answers to the questions they had left blank, amnesia for some of their correct answers and memory falsification of their correct answers. After 2 weeks they had to pass the test again. The results of those experiments were never published. But evidently already at this time the secret services were working on technologies how to impose thoughts to human beings with the use of pulsed microwaves to transmit into human brains human speech in ultrasound frequencies, which the brain perceives, but the human being does not realize this since it is not hearing the speech.

For governments it is not difficult to pulse the cell phone signals in the brain frequencies and in this way manipulate the thoughts of their own or foreign citizens. The difference between pulsed microwaves and extra long electromagnetic waves is that pulsed microwaves can be targeted on one person (or the whole nation if cell phone signals are pulsed in brain frequencies) while extra long electromagnetic waves, transmitted in brain frequencies, with their length up to 300 hundred thousands kilometers will reach brains in large areas. For sure so far the legislations around the world (except the Chile and Brazil) do not prohibit such actions to the governments or anybody else on human brains (for example Elon Musk is building system of 20.000 satellites around the planet and working on neuralink research at the same time).

Neurotechnologists around the world, who do not dare to disclose the national security information they had to sign, before starting research in the area, are calling for creation of legislations protecting people against such manipulations of their minds (see this).

The proposal of such legislation presented to the European Union, signed by 11 world organizations, you can find at the address (see this).
