A Gift from The Gods.
'Circus Master for the Ignorant'
The Circus Master has an inflated head due to his oversized ego. The brain wanted to stay at the top of the skull, so it pulled the spinal cord up with it. The gold represents his brain fluid, because he thinks so highly of himself. The brain and spinal cord also represent a soldier's helmet with the strap hanging down; hence, the red for blood, with some black for oil. Circus Master displays the female symbol, which represents his mother's influence. He also shows the sign of the cross, to represent his god-like syndrome. Circus Master is wearing a cowboy/circus tent hat. This is all presented as a trophy--a trophy that the American people were handed in 2000 by outlaw judges.

I would like to share an experience that I had the night of April 30, 2004. Prior to this date, I considered myself an agnostic/atheist. For five nights I spoke to all of the gods that have ever been worshipped on this earth, and to all the gods that have not been worshipped on this earth, and asked for just one to come to me and give me some answers about life on this earth. Not just my life, but about Life on this Earth. On the fifth night, Friday, April 30, 2004, I had an out-of-body experience that lasted for approximately four hours. I watched myself paint the image above from the ceiling of a garage that I was using as a studio. I now believe in two Gods, a Mother and a Father.
But on that night, this is not what I had set out to paint on this wood panel. I had intended to paint 'Broke-Down Palace', a horizontal painting with my version of The White House in a state of disrepair, with the flag pole broken and the flag hanging in tatters. And on the side of the house, I was going to have a water hose coming from a spigot winding around the yard that was connected to a fountain with a 'W' on the top spraying golden-brown bullshit.
You see, as it turns out, a couple of years later I made a discovery about the image above. I found myself surrounded by a massive collection of literature about ancient Egypt when I discovered that the image above represents an ankh on top of lotus blossoms. These two hieroglyphs were used in ancient Egypt to show acknowledgement to a governor, or leader. In the case with George W. Bush, a misleader. I now have a much clearer understanding about Life on this Earth and about our two Gods that put us all here. This image is truly a gift from The Gods, and I thank them both every day.
