I remember listening to Francis Coppola's commentary on the "Dracula" DVD where he said something like how Orthodox Christianity is more true and closer to Jesus and early Christians.
So nothing to do with physicians then?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I know it don't make sense but sometimes as an artist, I don't feel in control of my life. I give me away and I disappear but it's ok. Like, your hungry eyes are eating my art... Or something. @____@

Do you mean that you lose yourself in the process of painting something? I've been in that zone with programming some electromagnetic code.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The beast from the sea will be some charismatic human leader, known globally. The beast on dry land will be some kind of high technology.

No. I mean, the relationship between artist and audience is inherently predatory and violating yet what am I without it?

Well, I recently learned (indirectly) about a concept in art called 'stake of the beholder' (ie that, at least some art, relies a lot on the perceptual abilities/tendencies of the beholder to make it whole), so depending on what sort of art you make, perhaps it's not as big a debt... as big a bite... as you think it is

I miss my old friends. I have some friends now but it's not the same.

The world is death, and we are feeding on the carcass of a certain kind of war, a spiritual war, both ended and ongoing, in which a perfect state of functionality brings a sterile sort of equilibrium, the shops are full and busy, the skies are perpetually blue, and there is fire on a mystic island. You are cordially invited to partake of this world and its benefits, however, be warned, the soul of your emotional life will suffer greatly as a consequence of joining with this world. Do you accept?
We have water slides, infinite cotton candy, and ultra sophisticated sex robots.

You need to find a better weed dealer.
