Smartphones have been the handset market’s savior in the market slump of 2009. Although the overall handset market shrunk nearly 7%, the smartphone market grew at a healthy 15%. The significance is clear, and every company in the phone business – hardware, software, carriers – wants to be part of this lucrative, growing market and is making every effort to get it right.

There are, and always have been, those who cannot help but see that the world and its experiences are in the nature of a symbol, and that it reflects something that lies hidden in the subject himself.
~C. G. Jung

I'm very excited to share with you a subject very close to my heart courtesy of an article by Paul Levy. This subject concerns nothing less than "WAKING UP HUMANITY". I've been awake for a very long time, waiting impatiently for this time to come - and now am overjoyed to be able to begin connecting seekers of "Rememberence" to information sources. Paul connects the awakening of humanity to the recognition of myth, & archectypal symbols that surround us everywhere, but which we have been socialised to reject.

Personally I am a very curious person obsessed with the relationships between objects and concepts - A visual person intent on describing and understanding the nature of light, information; geometric patterns, myth & symbols, rather than just physical objects in my environment. Over many years of painting and virtual development, I have learned to translate symbols of dreams & visions and convey concepts via the most simple & powerful communication medium - Visually.

This week I received another reminder of how tenuous our beliefs and perceptions concerning reality may be. The central premise is that in order for the universe to exist, it requires a conscious sentient being to be aware of it. Without an observer, it only exists as a possibility. It's another of those challenging and dizzying quantum discussions that literally turn everything you take to be physically true (physical facts), opening a multiverse of illogical and profound possibilities.

Tell us a bit about Sum.

Sum is a work of literary fiction composed of forty mutually exclusive stories. Each story offers a different reason for our existence and the meaning of life and death. These are not serious proposals; they’re satirical and thought provoking lenses through which to see our lives at new angles.

Can you give us some examples?

In different stories, God is a married couple, God is a committee, God is a species of dimwitted creatures, or God is the size of a bacterium. In other stories there is no God at all and people in the afterlife battle over stories of His non-existence. In other stories we are mobile rovers built by planetary cartographers, or we are ten-dimensional creatures taking a vacation in three-dimensional bodies, or our life runs backwards after the expansion of the universe reverses and you get to see all the details you mis-remembered.
