CHILDREN'S DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
[“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matt 18:3]
1) We believe in God (I believe in Infinite Intelligence.)

2) We believe that God is expressed through all Nature. (I believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical and Spiritual, are the expression of Infinite Intelligence.)

3) True religion is living in obedience to Nature's Laws.

4) We Never die. (I affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death.)

5) Spiritualism proves that we can talk with people of the Spirit World. (I affirm that communication with the so-called dead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena of Spiritualism.)

6) Be kind, do good, and others will do likewise. (I believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden Rule, "Whatsoever you would, that others should do unto you, do you likewise unto them.")

7) We bring unhappiness to ourselves by the errors we make and we will be happy if we obey the laws of life. (I affirm the moral responsibility of the individual, and that he makes his own happiness or unhappiness, as he obeys or disobeys nature's physical and spiritual laws.)

8) Everyday is a new beginning. (I affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any soul here or hereafter.)

9) God speaks to man through man in the past, present and future. (We affirm that the precepts of prophesy contained in the Bible are scientifically proven through Mediumship.)
ALOHA,
I am Thomas John Taylor Lifetime Artist/Oil-Painter with The Honor of Joining The International Art Society, Being Accepted and Held in High Esteem with Many Recommendations From Professionals In This Field. I Belong to 54 Art Related Sites on The Web and Belong To Facebook, Google+, Twitter, ArtSlant, Rossello Damiano, Saatchi online, and Contribute to Various Blogs Internationally. I Have Been Invited To All The Latest Art Fairs, Shows, Gatherings as A V.I.P.
Last Year in Hilo I was Honored By Hawaiian Society as A V.I.P. At The Gathering of 300 Hawaiian Artists at The Mall which Was Closed To The Public For This Event. Art Dubai Invited Me To Art Dubai 2012 with An All Access Pass As A V.I.P. An Event I Could Not Attend Due To My Impoverished State Of Affairs Here In The U.S.A. The Gov't Holds My Passport In Lieu Of A Debt. I Can See Now After 3 Years Of Blindness Due To Lens Replacement Surgery. A Miracle And Transformation Stimulating My Activity. I Want A 1 MAN SHOW IN NYC.......................
I Have To Solicit a Patron That Would Be Willing To Fore-go The Expense In (Return) For An Agreed Upon (Return) In Writing, Witnessed, Signed, Sealed and Delivered Copies To Parties Involved. A Contract With Another Human Being That Will Base Their Belief System Upon Similar Roots Of Interpretation. The Source Code Is More Relevant In Relationship To Understanding. We Need To Be On The Same Wave, Same Planet, With Love As The Guiding Light.
The History Of “ART”, especially Oil-Painters are Highly Collectable Because Of The Value Society Places On These Statements In A Time-Binding Material That Have Never Lost Their Intrinsic
Worth. The Masters Of The 20th Century Sometimes Never Sold Any Images That Today Are Worth A Hundred Million Dollars. (VAN GOGH)
I Have A Few Hundred Images In Storage For Your Investment Portfolio That Will Increase In Value Greater Than Any Other Commodity; Even Gold. I Sold The Last 8 Large Format Images For $5,000 Each Establishing My Value As An Emerging Growth Artist/Oil-Painter. ALOHA

Aloha From Hawaii,
I Survived The Great Recession! The Last 4 Years Seemed to Last 400. I Know The Colors Associated With That Palette. I Live In The Middle Of The Pacific Ocean, On An Island, “The Big Island Hawaii”. It Is Home To An Active Volcano.
Locals Are As Friendly As You. If You Compare Lifestyle's, There Isn't Any Better. I Was 100% Disabled, Physically, and Mentally My Entire Life, and Live On A Disability Pension From The Veterans Administration of $1,000 a Month. Last December I Was Granted Permission To Be Approved For Lens Replacement Surgery On Both Eyes. They Would Slit My Eye, and Vacuum Out The Lens, Then Use A Needle-Like Device That Unfurls The New Lens. Dr. Carpenter was Successful and a Miracle was Performed. I can see longer distances then I ever was able to before, but I still need reading glasses, that I use on the Computer, which have UV, and Ultra-Light Protection. During My Lifetime, of Travel To Destinations That Were Exclusive, and My Association With Art and Music, Party Essentials, and Wild Abandon, Drunken Orgy's, Festivals, Competitions, Concerts, and Very Private Parties. It Was A Good Thing I Couldn't Really See, What Was Going On All Around Me. Prior To This Change Of Life, I Was Blind (80%), For 4 Years Of Painting. Now, I Look At Some OneElse's Work, Did I Really Create This Large Body Of Work? I Have Been Trying To Seek Out That Special Person, To Regal In The Position Of Being “The Patron” Of Thomas John Taylor.... That Established The Foundation On Which My Work Was Exposed In NYC, “A 1 MAN SHOW IN NYC”. I AM 64 YEARS.
I Want My Work To Speak For Itself. I have a Beautiful Palette. I Am Entertaining, and Expressive. I Have A Few Hundred Images In The Medium Of Oil/Canvas, and a Few Thousand Photo's and Digital Creations that are 100% “Original” and of My Creation.
That is My Dilemma. That Is My Cross To Bear. Why Can't I Have A Society Grasp The Totality, With Equality? It Is The Very Reason For Social-Go Communities To Resolve Such Issues Of Discrimination By A Few, Lording Over Others, Suppressing Exposure and Censoring Content. The Filter Of All Cultural Experience is Corrupt! Those Social Dictators even Control The Web Sites that are the tributaries of Parent Organizations Like M.O.M.A. And The Gov't Agencies, Like The Smithsonian Squashing Out Undesirable's, and Artist's They Don't Agree With. It's all Political. When Your Young and Sexy, Its Easy to Make A Successful Business, Just Don't Get Caught. ALOHA

In this Wonderful Life I have Chosen To Perform as an Instructional Stimuli To Everyone That Views My Work. I Create Images, that represent a strong application of oil unto canvas, using unusual tools, to add textures, and represent color, and intention within, that manifest an Image. To be as a Child, but Masterful of this Fantastic Communication, that is Bound in Time, and Will Last Centuries "Oil/Canvas" is The Absolute Highest Level of Communication for an Artist. It is very expensive to begin a process, that doesn't dry easily or cure properly, without blemish from anyone who touches it. I used to drift off into Space, as I was painting, "Plein Aire" on Maui, so I know it wasn't fumes. That Space was like a Dream State, and I was fortunate to be able to have visited there, a few hundred times. Each canvas that is Large Format 3ft. X 4ft. Is a feat of accomplishment, and costly if all the materials are new and Store bought. This body of work I Have in Storage, includes a few hundred Oil/Canvas Images and a few thousand Digital Creations. I am not represented, and Have No Gallery.    Suggestions Anyone?

Aloha From Hilo, Hawaii,

I have completed an entire, “Art Show From The Lava Flow”, that consists of Hundreds Of Oil-Paintings created here in Hawaii that represent “Original Art”. Due To The Cost Of Living and The Price Of Materials, I Recycled, purchased online, yard sales, and gifts of partially used tubes from Friends, to create this Fantastic Collection. Before, The Recession, I sold 8 Images for $5,OOO each establishing My Value as an Emerging Growth Artist. I Need A Patron That will Establish A 1 Man Show in NYC that is The Largest 1 Man Show Ever. This Is A Fact. Who will Step Up To The Plate. A Patronage In Exchange For A Place In History. Let's Have Fun. I Have arranged an entire Concert Performance for The Opening and Other Dates During The Month Of This “Exhibit”. I Have Performed Worldwide and received Applause whenever I Played. I Want To Film This.

The Journey Was Hard and The Food, Beverage, Housing, and Transportation Excellent. The Colorful, Textured, Images Represent My Dialect of The First Written Language, Art on Cave Walls. The First Time-Binding Story Line Captured On A Flat Surface with Blood, Feces, Coal, Minerals, and Herbal Dye's. I Consider Myself A Descendant, but don't use the crap and blood; Although I Should, Just To Be Authentic.

The Cost will be around $5O,OOO and Can Be A Write-Off Because I Am

1OO% Disabled Veteran Living On A Pension from The V.A.

We Could Guarantee It Benefiting A Non-Profit That I Would Like To Start.

I Am Into New Idea's If You Care To Start Some Dialog.

ALOHA

I Wonder Why I Have To Beg People To Purchase My Original Images for $1,000???? Oil/Canvas rather than prints and even Collectors don't see their own folly. People are willing to pay for War and Misery, but really don't understand Why allingnment with Peace is so Important in Our Evolutionary Consciousness.

I am selling my "Original" Images for $1,000 USD delivered, because I am almost homeless, which is a constant state of affairs with me this entire lifetime. I have been formally disowned by all my family and friends because i won't seek gainful employ and they think I am crazy for pursuing an Art Career as an "Outsider". I LOVE MY LIFE.
