Archives-Land: The Interior Archives-Project (A Novelistic Phenomenology)
The Sublime Warehouse In The Tonal-Cinematic Mode: A Fundamental Experience of Ebullient & Effervescent, Somber & Macabre, Theatrical Joyful Being. The Sublime Warehouse of The Soul by AG.
I
“Archive-Land” exists in an imaginary location/place, projected inwardly in the unfathomable depths of my “Heart and Soul”. My entire interior world is instantly transmogrified into an archival phantasmagoria.
Other times, it is “The Sublimc Warehouse”, similar to how it was “The Exhibition in Tonal Cinema” and “The History-Project” before that. Even the official name of my physical space of art production, where I run my Interdisciplinary Art Operations continuously, is yet another Interior Castle: THE HISTORIOTHEQUE.
II
I call these “Grand Artistic Visions”, and I believe that this is how it worked for writers such as Franz Kafka, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and William S. Burroughs. They are machinic intelligences stemming from ‘stirrings of the soul’ that exist in the Great Profundity of Inwardness.
What is The Castle, by Kafka, if not a machinic intelligence operating in the inside of one’s Manipura chakra (“Jewel city”, at the navel). I believe that even some of the ancients got it wrong, thinking that imagination and thoughts were either positioned somewhere in the head or heart chakras, when really it all is happening within the navel. Certainly different Artistic Visions could occupy different chakras, though I have no evidence of this.

My Internal Art Studio or Atelier, which as I have said is called THE HISTORIOTHEQUE, from the Greek ἵστωρ (hístōr, “witness”) + θήκη (thḗkē, “box, chest”), translates, if I use my imagination a little, into “Witness-Box”.
What does any of this mean? Is this some form of Kabbalistic mysticism? First of all, I can assure you, I am in no way a mystic or even a practitioner of any form of asceticism. I’m just an interdisciplinary artist-researcher, and this is where ALL my art and research point to over the last 30 years.
Yesterday afternoon, I was in an assembly and I suddenly felt one of those silent ‘stirrings of the soul’. It was of a Money Counter and it was ‘sorting’ through my emotions at an incredible speed. The entire inner space inhabiting my abdomen transformed and transmogrified into ‘machinic intelligences’ that became The Habit of My Habitats, or Habitance.
THE HISTORIOTHEQUE is both my ‘outward Studio’ and my very own, personal Throne-Chariot ‘on the Inward Plane’. I believe that if you pay attention to the ‘seat of (your) emotions’, you will see that it doesn’t take place in the heart really all that much, but in the bottomost part of your abdominal area, and it is DARK, UNFATHOMABLE, IMPENETRABLE.
I firmly believe that anyone can have their own internal machinic intelligences like this, without having to have recourse to Roman Catholic Ascetic and Mystical Theology or Kabbalah mysticism, or Siberian Shamanistic Practices, or anything of the sort. You just have use your Fertile Imagination and Beaming Intelligentsia-for-a-Mind.
IV. IN CONCLUSION: A PROLEGOMENA OF THE NOISE FIELD THEORY
In the beginning was a Perfect, Palatial Land called NOUS, within which poured out The Invisible Forces. The Archives-Project novel begins like that, and really it is what I call a ‘novelistic phenomenology’.
From the Construction-Known-as-NOUS and The Invisible Forces, was born The Mother of Dreams or “M.O.D.”, better known to me as an asexual being or Creature of Creation Called MAUD, who is both Terribly Grotesque and Beautiful at the same time. AND BEFORE TIME WAS A PRIMITIVE, PRIMORDIAL, AND FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL FIELD OF A KIND OF UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND RADIATION, CALLED THE NOISE FIELD, BOTH IMAGINED AND REAL. The novelistic phenomenology is really a Multi-Layered, Abstract Structure or Entity Which Inhabits All Empty Spaces within my Umbilicus. IT IS MATHEMATICAL, CATEGORICAL, AND PHYSICALLY VERY REAL!
More to come…
