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

You can find a short article to introduce this full-length YouTube video at the FACET 30(102) ◊ GROUNDING multimedia resource gallery page here. The MMII is a cognitive exegesis ◊ an interpretive defence of Marilyn Manson's innocence. A bold, genre-defying work that fuses spiritual advocacy, lyrical analysis, personal testimony, and artistic symbolism into a unique documentary-art statement. It stands not only as a defence of Marilyn Manson against public allegations but also as a metaphysical reframing of his artistic and cultural role — casting him as a misunderstood figure of important ethical challenge, punk intelligence, and practical healing power. 

As Marilyn Manson's name has been progressively cleared more and more from false allegations through his criminal investigation being completed and deemed insufficient for criminal charges, and so much more, the themes of my art about him are transforming along with it. The MMII has been my art piece which explored his innocence, but now it will be transforming into a compendium that even more centrally just celebrates his art.

As mentioned in the MMII, the album HOLY WOOD is rich with Iboga addiction recovery themes rooted largely in the Bwiti religion of South Africa where this psychedelic plant medicine is traditonally practiced. Ibogaine is the more famous derivative of the whole form, Iboga, the root of a tree - which cures addiction to hard drugs like cocaine, meth, and opiates. Soon, F. 30(102) will shift the focus from defence of MM's name into this addiction recovery based artistic framework.  

The series of addiction recovery themes (found in the following section) that I've found in HOLY WOOD will be made into a beautiful, ornamental and very zen style of card set. In contrast with my recent release of The 7 of 9 ⨺ SOLVE COAGULA Mind Map System Prototype (which was also dedicated to Marilyn Manson for his 57th birthday), this will be the simplest and easiest card set to work with provided by UNITY LIFE, themed to work compatibly with people suffering from trauma and addiction as something soothing, beautiful, and non-demanding as a practice. At the same time, it will appeal to anyone.

The numerology of 11(11) has been chosen to match the Japanese release date (Nov 11, 2000) of HOLY WOOD as well as the fact that there have been 11 Addiction Recovery themes which were already designed into The MMII in leading to this commemorative set to explore them. 

Traditional Bwiti Iboga Addiction Recovery Themes Found in HOLY WOOD : 

• “Shamanic Death”, a form of ego or “false-self” disillusionment / shedding. (Enlightenment related).
• Grounding (In HOLY WOOD inc. Earth connection, respect for nature, ecological mindset; Also much more re: strategies for getting grounded).
• Empathy > The wisdom not to cause harm / go through with violent acts. Also, similar : respect for nature.
• Ancestral roots (In HOLY WOOD : parents, previous generation, early humans, original God). 

Iboga Related General Addiction Recovery Themes Found in HOLY WOOD : 

• Self-preservation : The avoidance of death or the replacement of a potential death scenario.
• Self-preservation : Removing oneself from / avoiding abusive relationships or high risk scenarios
• Education about abuse, constructively designed for healing impact
• Overcoming shame (leading to self-esteem).
• Overcoming dissociation (awareness expanding / realization).
• Reordering the raw material of existing negative life circumstances into a healing design.
• Acknowledgement of a diverse full spectrum of many different forms of addiction. 

The powerful 16 KEYS plates that are currently featured in the website navigation bar are no longer going to be in use for illustration of The 16 KEYS once this resource is soon re-designed to match the triangular format of The 7 of 9 which is now absorbing that system. However, these beautiful glyphs will be repurposed for The 11(11) into a new set of 22 cards — 2 sets of 11 — by creating 3 more similar glyphs and mirroring them each upsidown to create a total of 6 new designs on top of what you see here. 

These glyphs were not actually originally designed in such a way which visually locks them into place with the information contained within The 16 KEYS. They were purely ornamental, which is the same design decision for The 11(11) and that is why they are being rescued from being lost to this overhaul. Thankfully, they will not seem too similar to the new 16 KEYS because changing these designs into a triangular version dramatically shifts their appearance and some of their layout will have to change a lot too, no matter how much it may lend to and borrow from from the past design. 

I will also be creating a series of lyric interpretation essays in the UNITY LIFE Archive, which will each explore in fullest inspirational detail just how it is that I found these incredible meanings in the songs from HOLY WOOD.

Perhaps reading essays doesn't appeal that much to people suffering with addiction or learning disabilities. With that in mind, the card set will still resonate and work beautifully for adult non-readers. It will be so ornamental and inspiring — a great meditative altar item.

This year, sometime soon, I'd like to create the first essay as a late birthday gift to Manson, to kick off the series. By next year on Manson's birthday, I'd love to see the designs and numerological layout for the cards completed. 

As you will find explained in 27(72) of the navigation bar of this website, FACET 1(73) ◊ ORIGINAL — The first FACET of The 72 FACETS (IN 144) — is the unifying foundation of all the artwork of UNITY LIFE Mystery School. There, you can also find a full length YouTube artumentary piece similar to The MMII called NIRVANA #KurtCobainIsAlive ◊ THE 72 RADIANT DIAMOND FACETS OF THE 27 CLUB (IN 144).

Already, the manuscript of that video has been created into a PDF for online reading and home printing, which has also been ornamentally printed and bound (in private) with gorgeous tangible art. Continuing from there, Manson's F. 30(102) manuscript for The MMII will also be offered in online PDF form and the artistic process of ornamental binding has also been prepared. Previously announced plans to rewrite or re-edit it have been abandoned in favour of documenting the exact video manuscript, in following from F. 1(73).

This ornamental binding process has led to the following announcement ...

It turned out to be a good thing that I was late on preparing the ornamental binding of FACET 30(102) for Manson's birthday. Although I had hoped to quickly get it ready shortly after the special day, a serendiptious opportunity for it to come out in a much more beautiful format seemed to magically delay my productivity. Without even seeing this in advance, I magically delayed things — which I realized was perfect when my creative process on The 7 of 9 (also for Manson's birthday) led me to purchase a dye cutter for an exquisite new type of tangible art using holographic gold material layered with dye cut cardstock stencils.

A dye cutter can cut out intricate shapes and patterns according to my graphic designs from materials like card and vinyl etc. Since the ornamental cover of these FACET manuscripts will include the geometrically patterned designs of The 72 FACETS (IN 144), this would look much more beautiful with these stencil layers over gold than merely printed as I had originally planned it. It will have a gorgeous wide ribbon to tie the booklet together, and a holoshining FACET glyph on both the front and back of the booklet, making it a true object d'art. This necessity will delay the booklet even further, but the dye cutter is on the way to my home, and as further supplies arrive and my production routine is designed, it will take shape. 

In toe with these incredible revelations about a new stencil and holographic gold layered format to production of these and other resources throughout UNITY LIFE Mystery School (such as The 16 KEYS and correspondingly, The 7 of 9) there will be a new online store to sell these kinds of items. I am not sure exactly when these kinds of products will become available on the shop, but it seems that Manson's gorgeous F. 30(102) manuscript booklet should be a product there. It will be autographed and handmade. This will go beautifully with the other resources.
