Behind the Scenes

of UNITY LIFE Mystery School


UNITY LIFE Mystery School is a very living and active artistic space in which much is always being created behind the scenes. As a world of intermedia art — an art genre which incorporates the process of artistic creation as well as the final product, also contextualizing the audience with the work — UNITY LIFE is always projecting what’s being created behind the scenes before and after it’s finished. This way some audience reflections, feedback, support and later reception are integrated, as things are being constantly developed. This particular UNITY LIFE Archive is a mirror of that. It’s a newsletter of sorts which will be always in process, dramatically changing regularly to always remain completely up to date.

Special Announcements of Things Brewing

Powerful Announcements of UNITY LIFE Resources In Honour of Marilyn Manson's 57th Birthday, Jan 5th (aka 1 5) '26

Beginning on Marilyn Manson's 57th birthday and over time, I've made announcement of some gorgeous new UNITY LIFE Resources which are being progressively created in celebration of his life, specifically associated with FACET 30(102) ◊ GROUNDING from The 72 FACETS (IN 144). This is the FACET which is dedicated to him and which always receives a treatment each year in honor of his birthday. So far, this FACET has only included The MMII, but now, more resources will be added to it which represent a huge cycle of creative evolution within UNITY LIFE. Now, all these scattered announcements and my process of revelation about the projects have been synergized here :

A New Redesign of The 64 CARDS & Corresponding Online Version of The Quick-Start Guide

This project has been planned for a very long time and may take quite a while to be done, but I am planning to redesign The 64 CARDS. Previously, the plan has been to visually upgrade 32 out of 64 of the cards to a more aesthetically pleasing yet just as educational geometric design. However, new revelations of producing dye cut geometric designs (stencils) over holographic gold material for The 7 of 9 has inspired a new plan to also make sure the designs for The 64 CARDS are stencil friendly for this type of production when they get upgraded. Along with this, I've decided to make the backs into a design which slightly resembles The 72 FACETS (IN 144) and The 7 of 9 — many diamonds (or possibly triangles — we will see) on a grid with visually pleasing margins between them. The amount of shapes that are there will count up to the numbering of the card, to indicate the card number. This will support young people who are learning how to count as an All Ages & Abilities educational feature. There will also be the card title in stencil friendly writing. This is quite a design challenge, but I'm confident that I can do this. Correspondingly, the Quick-Start Guide PDF which instructs the use of The 64 CARDS will be also displayed on the website for an online format option, as inspired by the evolution of The 7 of 9. In moving towards that reality, I have recently added 3 new info rich online galleries of The 64 CARDS. These will also be added to the instructional PDF as one upgrade, just with small icons of each card and info to support quick reference.

Creating An Online Store For UNITY LIFE Mystery School

One inspiration which stemmed from my design of the new version of The 16 KEYS SUPPORT TOOL for integration with The 7 of 9 ⨺ SOLVE COAGULA Mind Map System (Prototype) has become the root of an enormous change to UNITY LIFE and hopefully my professional life. The revelation that these cards could be made with dye cut stencils over holographic gold to create a gorgeously unique card design has inspired the purchase of a dye cutter. Now, inspired by that, the plan is to remodel The 64 CARDS and printed booklets as well as card sets of The 72 FACETS (IN 144) into this design model. The beauty of it is that production of these items at home using a dye cutter is much more time efficient and manageable than printing, since home printers require a lot of upkeep and do not perform at a higher professional quality anyway. Therefore, this represents a more cost and time effective model which will make an abundant art shop possible eventually here. Of course once things are established with this type of production, I can diversify into other types of merch as I expand. Ideally I'd love to see that business become a new career direction for me.

Old Dream Diary Transplanted Into The UNITY LIFE Archive

The UNITY LIFE Archive has kicked off its new category "UNITY LIFE DREAM DIARY" with a couple incredible hits. The two posts already in that category are so amazingly cool. But in the past, throughout many years, I've always kept a dream diary, which was kept mostly on an instagram and in my notes. There are many amazing dreams about all my favourite stars in there, and I plan to start by transplanting the ones about Marilyn Manson — which are absolutely incredible — into the UNITY LIFE Archive, just copying and pasting the original instagram captions. Later, I can expand on these in more detail selectively throughout other writings. A small handful of stars will be featured at first, but someday all the entries will be fully transplanted onto the website.

Index of Website Changes

A huge series of major overhauls to the information and presentation architecture (and visual design) throughout the website have been happening since Feb 20th, '26, Kurt Cobain's 59th birthday, in celebration of his life. Similary, The 7 of 9 ⨺ SOLVE COAGULA Mind Map System (Prototype) is being progressively developed in celebration of Jared Leto and Marilyn Manson's lives, in honor of their 2 recent birthdays this past winter. Sometimes when there's room, changes to The 7 of 9 will be prefaced with "For Jared and Brian's Birthdays" as referring to Marilyn Manson's real name Brian Warner. As well, lots of little things are often done around here. Any significant website changes will be logged here.


What's Brewing?

With so much going on with the website, I've gotten some great new inspirations


Creating A Better Presentation For The UNITY LIFE COLORING BOOK

The one thing that it seems has been missing from the presentation of The 72 FACETS (IN 144) has been a better, easier way to use The UNITY LIFE COLORING BOOK to print the pages out at home or at the printer's, and do your art on it. Of course, with a new format for creating beautiful books for the online store I'm planning on UNITY LIFE, I'll definitely have to make a printed COLORING BOOK with gorgeous cover. But that will be a pretty expensive buy, in comparison to just printing what pages you want, if you only want to do a little bit of artwork.

Rewriting The Accordion Panels in 27(72) Which Navigate The 72 FACETS (IN 144) Multimedia Resources

On Kurt's birthday this past year, I began on a long series of huge revisions to the website. The most important thing changed — which I know Kurt would want the most for his birthday — has definitely been the upgrades on the 27(72) page (found in the navigation bar) where his documentary NIRVANA #KurtCobainIsAlive ◊ THE 72 RADIANT DIAMOND FACETS OF THE 27 CLUB (IN 144) is most prominently hosted. There, an accordion panel has been added for Kurt's celebrations in which there is a navigation guide which outlines which FACETS of the 72 have special multimedia resources in addition to the standards. This same item is also added on FACET 1(73) ◊ ORIGINAL, the twin page to it which, although presented differently, also offers the same resources and navigational map.

Transforming The UNITY LIFE Archive To Reflect Themes of Current Events

Currently, many of the categories in The UNITY LIFE Archive are being placed into the multimedia resource gallery pages of FACETS within The 72 FACETS (IN 144). The Archive has always been my unstructured, flowing place in the website to freely express my current life interests — while The 72 FACETS (IN 144) is an extremely structured template which must strictly follow certain theme models and reserves space for topics I know I will want to pursue in the future (not right now). In order to avoid redundancy I've decided to remodel the Archive to become an online zine of information about what my current passions are. For example, it will strive to be a bit of an ad for Marilyn Manson and 30 Seconds To Mars (and others), as these are two bands which are a current main interest of mine — but within The 72 FACETS (IN 144) they have less prominence because many other artists will be equally reflected upon there in the future too.

Transplanting My Creative Calendar of Important Dates From My Phone to This Website

I thought maybe putting all the important days of the year that might often inspire me to work on certain resources for UNITY LIFE Mystery School on the website might be interesting as a behind the scenes public resource of some kind. Some people do take an interest in my creative patterns and this might give them hints of what's likely coming up in the future. I've been struggling to keep track of all these dates on my iPhone. I just have a really lame birthday reminder app that I'm using for everything — not just birthdays but also things like album and song release date anniversaries, other anniversaries and social justice days (like National Addictions Awareness Week and many more). I used to keep it in a written datebook journal but I found the need for reminders and notifications, and yet this app only gives notification very shortly before the date. I also think having it on the website would help me consult with it more over a longer time span, as it's a place where I am often working and looking things over. So, the plan is to transplant this calendar from my phone onto the website and continually keep updating it there.

Notice

Any plans and design concepts for how I imagine things will develop here are not guaranteed outcomes, or chained to manifesting in the exact way they have been described. Things often evolve spontaneously with art, and I respect that surprises are always a wonderful element as well — something for us all to look forward to if they should occur.
