Exoteric commonly means intended for or likely to be understood by the general public. The general mass of humans are given words, ideas, teachings, morals, myths, analogies, philosophies, memes and dogmas as a way of controlling their behavior. As a bull is controlled with the aid of a ring thru his nose, the masses of humans are controlled by means of exoteric knowledge.

Beyondart is the highest thing man can incorporate into her/his life. Art, philosophy, spirituality are the second highest things able to be incorporated. The highest aspect of beyondart which incorporates art, philosophy and spirituality is the photographing of images of pareidolia found in naturally formed shadows. That anyone can do this adds to it, rather than detracts from it. That anyone can appreciate beyondart and judge it is an additional bonus. One does not have to be aquainted with the entire art field to judge it, as one does with art. It enables anyone to not only produce art works beyond art in originality, beauty, and mystery, but It democratizes art and adds to it's beyondart categorization. It bypasses the politics that infiltrates art. In addition to the look of the beyondart work, these images are projections from ones unconscious mind, and if one photographs shadows, one will see friends, relatives, sacred images or whatever is in ones unconscious revealed. These images are projected from the unconscious, and toward the individual at the same time. "If you stares into an abyss long enough the abyss stares back into you." (F. Nietzsche). This lack of separation not only shows the unity and lack of separation existing in the universe, but also shows the solipsistic nature of the universe. If more people would experiment with this phenomenon and realize the profundity it shows, war, enemys, evil and other negative concepts would be seen as existent only in man's scapegoating nature and war and other negative phenomena would disappear. These images are created by nature, not man, so they have beyond the perfection of nature in them. They are truly the art in nature. Since these images are patterns, they serve no functional purpose as other natural objects do. This frees these images from natural restrictions. Although everything in natue is beautiful, the look of natural objects is limited by their need to function, and this restricts their artistic abstraction. Most often in nature objects have symmetry that is not present in pareidolic images. These photographs of pareidolia do not have the rubber stamping similarity from canvas to canvas that even the greatest art works have. The greatest artists may have different periods of style, but within any period many works look very similar. Pareidolic images have perfect tao-flow lines that no human artist is capable of. As Andre Gide said,"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better." Although pareidolia may be photograped in wood grain, marble. smoke, clouds, fire, or just about anywhere, the most artistic and detailed pareidolia have been photographed in natural shadows cast by trees. One such photograph has at least thirty- five features corresponding to a human face, neck and shoulders in size, shape, and placement. Not only are these works beyondart, they are beyond science, beyond words, they are even beyond music, and beyond ideas and anything which takes "time," as time is illusionary. Beyondart pareidolic images are as close to a slice of the instantaneous eternal here and now as we are likely to see on earth. Natural beyond artwork from the highest source in the universe. Unfathomabile, ineffable, beyond beyond.

Paraudolia is the hearing of tunes, songs, and words where the are not found as usually defined. They are not created intentionally by man (or "aliens"). As in words heard on records played backwards. These are opposed to words, songs and tunes created intentionally by humans (or "aliens"). Also opposed to hearing words or melodies in raindrops, white noise, bell ringing, or when tired, as these are types of auditory hallucinations. Paraudolia is to sound, as pareidolia is to visual imagery.
"He played a Beatles record backwards and heard seven words in a row that had nothing to do with the sounds and music when played forward, it was pure paraudolia."

MCSMICE. Is an acronym for Masters of Ceremonies Mice. Many people simply call them "They," without thinking about who "they" are. "They," are a conspiratory group first referred to as the "military industrial complex," by Dwight Eisenhower. "They" are composed of the Military, Church, State, Media, Industrial, Crime (+ pseudo crime fighting) organizations; after all a supposed enemy is needed- (read Atlas Shruged), and Educational branches, and all of us who are forced to follow these mice-brained paternalistic war mongers. Hence the acronym MCSMICE. MCSMICE is the modern slave master. "They" print up worthless paper and ask us to have faith in it's value. It is a huge pyramid scam (ponzi scheme), we are forced to pass on to our children, (if there will still be children and a planet left). The only thing honest about it is they display this pyramid on the obverse side of their dollar bill. What "they," fail to show is that MCSMICE is all backed by WAR, and their supposed alternative "PEACE," which has lead to WAR more than any other concept. Heads "they" win, tails we loose. We have alternatives. Change the language and concepts we are limited by, and all the rest will follow.
Example. Ed said he was free because he was not in chains. Jean-Jacques Rousseau said "Man is born free yet is everywhere in chains." He also said taxation is worse than slavery. William Blake said, ( paraphrase), "Every is a visionary untill the MCSMICE remove that ability and replace it with dogmaticism and the one eyed sleep of Newton's single eye." He also said, "Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death."

To hear in a unique, authentic, original, revelatory, transcendent, creative and/or enlightened manner; especially if one is also able to transmit this way of hearing to others by playing music, singing or elevating the consciousness of the listener by producing sounds. What a visionary, is to sight and images, an audiary, is to sounds and music.
Some examples of celebrites who have heard music and played in this manner are John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders,(aka- The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit), Thelonious Monk, (aka- the High Priest), Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy, and Charles Ives.
Although not strictly music as entertainment, Ayahuasca shamen of South America have been reported to elevate the consciousness of the listener, and transporting her/him to higher dimensions by singing in an audiary manner.

Ostrich-sheeple-lemmings are humans who figuratively bury their heads in the sand so they don't see, act like a herd of sheep, then herd themselves over a cliff like lemmings.
