This group has been active for a long time and has already made some remarkable assertions which render life simpler from the practical point of view.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

"Musical Chair"


This one is called A Key for All Doors:





And this one reminds of the control of the board (the chess board, for any new-comers)--over someone who could otherwise be spinning wildly and gracefully in the air:





Like this:


And see how this one wanders out of a sketch/dream and into the world:



Ok, enjoy. I will make my own post later...
