#activeCREATOR #COLLECTIVE: KIM & ABB...

part of what the Refinery represents is a community building platform. the concept behind this platform is to bring together a collective of active creators who are from diverse disciplines yet have a relatively common interest as active creators in inspiring each other toward greater creative freedom & expression.

are there other collectives that perform this function? 3y3m sure there are, but i am not currently involved in any of them & i'm thinking there are a few other active creators who aren't either.

the point here is that instead of attempting to gain acceptance of/in an established collective, why not create 1 that doesn't require such energy to be spent. cliques can be quite boring & counterproductive in ways. i've never had a particular interest in them. there's usually too much ego w/certain cats & peeps like that do not respond well to being told about self.

i have no personal or professional interest in dealing w/cats who repeatedly & willfully refrain from being collectively accountable. apparently this is extremely difficult for those who are too self absorbed. how ironic that active creators seem to be emotional people in many if not all cases. vanity & emotional volatility often prevail in spaces better filled w/creative energy. the end result is a lack of much creative output.

why would i want that?

that said, to those who may be mutually interested in building an inpiring & encouraging collective, i'm always looking to build w/those who get the direction of the Refinery & find our movement is in a similar direction. the idea is to be active creators in an atmosphere where competition is w/self & improvement is the ultimate goal.

if any reader finds this concept appealing & is interested in building going forward, get at my inbox on facebook, or gmail:

#THINK #watisBEAUTIFUL2U

6 months in & 3 months since the last this year is a bit long for a post...

i've been busy working on living more constructively. the more i do that the more space i have to be an active creator. the whole purpose of this endeavor is to share creativity. this is for self as a whole. the question of how self is defined is key. as a result of certain cultural studies that i have been exposed to, it is extremely clear how important collectives are. self as a whole is equivalent to all of us on the planet. this may seem grandiose, but we are all here to help each other live. our current social system often goes against this collective progress mentality.

observation seems to indicate very strongly that huebeins overall work best in groups. families are a great example. even the most innovative individuals ususally have some kind of team &/or support system that facilitates progress toward whatever goal. whenever & wherever we do not work together, we get what we get.

i don't know about the rest of you, but i dig working around & w/other creators. the inspiration is invaluable energy that seems to only come from being in the presence of other people who choose to embrace the freedoms of being an active creator. the term active creator distinguishes those who embrace being a creator from the general population of creators. ultimately we are all creators. some of us are just a bit more assertive about sharing our universal gifts as creators.

i've got ongoing projects that are still coming together. Soundcloud Saturday is still an active project. the format & presentation will be changing a little bit. there may be another post in the coming days about what i hope is a multimedia vehicle intended to get a more active exchange of ideas/content going.

the exchange of ideas/thoughts is so important to how we as a species make advances. actively creative minds innovate. you wouldn't be reading & i wouldn't be typing if this was not true...

ART = LIFE

the new is the old as the #UNIVERSE told...

if it isn't clear, i am a highly spiritual huebein. i'm not the least bit religious. i find little personal use for rigid &/or ritualistic practice in observing & maintaining my connection(s) to the metaphysical.

that said, i've been dealing w/life for the last few months in ways that required i leave some of these online activities be. my physical health was literally at risk. no details. things have improved & i'm getting back to my online grind.

i realized during the time away that i had been spending too much energy on developing an online presence at the expense of my biz in the physical world. sometimes we have to step back & away to see the light shine w/a more constructive perspective.

fortunately i continued to come up w/ideas & record them in various ways to flesh out later. i was also able to get a few more small pieces to add to the lab setup to make the creative process a bit more fluid for what the Refinery is doing. overall things are well.

setbacks, delays, unexpected circumstances...

they can be frustrating, but they're a part of life & life is all good when it's all lessons.

so, onward, upward, regardless of how slowly...
