The Illuminaries...

Where are our free thinkers, our Transcendentalists, our Beat Generation? Where are our new-visionaries, philanthropists, philosophers and intellectuals? This is a call, an evocation if you will, for a new movement: to rise above mediocrity and normality and transcend beyond the plains of static conformity.

We are standing on a world divided and crumbling beneath our slanted feet - foreshadowed by the luminaries of our past. We must outthink ourselves, discover a new path to enlightenment, and become illuminaries of our cause.

We are spiritual, enigmatic revolutionists of our art and life, emissaries of the flame of new thought, and the pall-bearers of our own deficiencies. We are not perfect, but we are persistent, and we can change the world; in the very least, the manner in which the world thinks.

I am an avid reader of those who revolutionized the cognitive thinking of their time - an admirer of Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Dostoevsky, Goethe, and Kant among others - and I can only ponder where such writers exist today.

I do not claim to be among the next intellectuals, but I know they are out there. My design in seeking out these Illuminaries is to unearth their visions and philosophies and introduce them to the world. It is a new age and time, and much that has been written is still meaningful, but society has evolved. We are faced with new tragedies and ingenuities every day.

I'm reaching out, in search of new schools of thought, and hope I am able to contribute my small part to envelop those I can within the light of a new revolution of the mind. A potential unparalleled is about to be unleashed.

I am an Illuminary.
