Starseed
It always surprises me how few people comment, express surprise, or even question the ‘“Omen was da Vinci” thing. I can only assume they think we made it up.
As mentioned in my last entry, I decided to do an interview for a spiritual site called the International Starseed Network. (As a side note, this site is now selling cannabis seeds… Words fail me.)
The chat room was discussing whether da Vinci was a Starseed, an alien in a human body, or not. They wondered if he had been sent to teach Humanity some lessons.
As I knew for a fact this wasn’t the case, I decided it might be a good idea to actually interview Omen about it.
So, I asked his permission to discuss some of his experiences and post it. He agreed, and then we did. Curiously enough, no one even acknowledged it after posting the interview.
I find this typical of most groups and people, though I’ve always been bemused as to why they do that.
Anyway, this was the interview.
Stickler for Facts
Gary: Hey, question, do you mind if I set some people straight that da Vinci was not a Starseed?
Omen: I don’t mind. I don’t speak for myself in the past anyway, everyone else does it.
Gary: I’m a stickler for facts. No one will believe it anyway, but still.
So, were you sharing [the body] with da Vinci, or were you him all your life?
Omen: I was sharing, but I spent years straight being in control…. So, depends when…. Generally, childhood was host 60%, adolescence 40%, early adulthood 20%, between ages 25 to about 38 just me, and then after that back to host at 70% or so.
Gary: Okay. Any hidden symbolisms in your paintings?
Omen: Hmm… There are a lot of insults, but no special symbolism. Except for that one depicting Jesus.
Gary: The Last Supper?
Omen: Got contracted to add some extras for The Triquerta. I don’t know the name of it. I never named it.
Gary: The one with Him and His disciples or was it just that one of Jesus?
Royal Blue
Omen: It was an extension of a dining hall in a mosque (or I thought of it as a mosque, it wasn’t sanctified enough to be a cathedral or church). The idea was to match everything to the painting to signify man’s equality with Jesus, as though your (sic) breaking bread alongside him….
Gary: This one….
Omen: Yes, but someone has gone over that one. Originally the tablecloth was royal blue.
Whose idea was it to finish it without my permission? No, wait….. I was probably dead. Never mind.
Gary: Ah, okay. Wonder why they did that?
Omen:
You can see the original royal blue on the far left.
Gary: Yes, wow.
Experimental Techniques
Omen: My experimental technique didn’t go down well. I legitimately thought it would work.
Another failure I can’t erase.
Gary: What technique was that?
Omen: I used an alternate method and materials to the norm. It was first painted with a base medium that was to absorb the paint more slowly, and a medium be added to areas to rework them.
I didn’t like the notion that once you paint something, it’s not coming off….. I wanted to be able to alter as I chose, since I didn’t know what Triquerta [sic] had in mind.
You’ll also notice, before the restoration, it was an argument. Assholes fucked up my work, not that it needed any help, it was falling apart.
But still…
Gary: Well, regardless, it’s considered a masterpiece.
Omen: It’s not mine after they ‘restored’ it, so, whatever. I find it ironic that the mosque became a church after I was done with it. Must have taken some planning to get me in and out in time.
It’s any wonder the woman was rushing me. In hindsight, at least. Hah!
Wife
Gary: What woman?
Omen: The woman that owned the establishment. Usually, it was men that I dealt with, but she insisted. She was French and Italian, bad mix for any man wanting to have a say. Or, so was the rumor.
Anyhow… Originally, the painting was an argument between Judas, Jesus and Jesus’ wife.
Yeh, He had a wife, way to fuck up History, Christians. Anyhow, she was cheating on Him and bore a son that wasn’t His. Anyhow, the one in the center is not Jesus. It is Judas… and he’s torn between his heart, and duty. Jesus is the one to the right with the dark expression. Blah, blah. I’m sure someone has figured this out.
Gary: Wow… that will really turn things on their head.
Omen: It’s obvious to me.
Gary: Only cause you did it.
Omen: …I specifically remember it being obvious. It must have been reworked within a few years of it being finished in which case [sic].
After all, they only wanted supper with Jesus and His followers, they never said which supper.
It’s called The Last Supper for obvious reasons. Jesus was hung not so long after that.
Triquerta [sic] are all about the truth, ironically.
You’ll notice the shadowing on Jesus’ throat, that wasn’t shadowing originally. The man behind Him pointing the finger has a garrotte. Right around his throat in a threatening manner….
Gary: Really? So, they removed it?
Omen: They altered the faces, the colours [sic], the hand positions… Everything that mattered, really.
All of those people are unrecognizable to the original.
That was all he bothered to say on the subject, before he got diverted. Omen tended to be a little ADHD at times.
