The Gate: Imagining Dawn

A narrated 'modern fable' about 9/11 visions of Western sanity and visions of 'faeries' offering practical ideas about wrought drywalls.

A vignette about patriotism 'wrought' from living work and dreams, inspired very loosely by the recent Oliver Stone film World Trade Center (Nicolas Cage). Enjoy (and thanks so much for reading!),

I've been working as a civilization-diorama maker/teacher of a cyber-homeschooling forum project called Dartmouth in New England, and I've been somewhat distressed about the quality/brands of post-9/11 era commerce/traffic grid diagram-themed education offered to today's homeschool students on the cyber-arena. My name's Amlan Satan, and I consider myself a 'nerdist' of civilization-metaphysics conversations in modern social-media (e.g., Facebook!).

The kinds of tools/kits I use in my cyber-blogs/re-presentations of civilization dioramas include computer-tech era gadgets and gizmos symbolizing youthful activities in commercial grids for consumerism and education! These 'toys' and models or imagery I employ in my homeschooling activities online represent a strong focus on the hands-on learning of society ideas about children's education driven 'archaeology' (what future social scientists will say about the nature of our era's 'tools/toys' for activity-based portals).

This isn't a story or presentation about my cyber-homeschooling project. You see, amidst this modern 'challenge/complexity' of wrought items for cyber-civilization education work, I grew weary of this post-9/11 era 'angst' in our modern world (Western civilization!) regarding the accessible 'optimistic' vision of shared community-based approaches to cyber-activity. I wondered if citizens of today are woeful about the 'securities' of traffic memory! I decided to take a road-trip to the Southwest, and en-route, I stopped at a carnival or road-circus in which a special 'magician's tent' housed a strange claimed 'space-portal' which the attendant magician claimed was used by a 'host' or 'team' of magical warriors from a faraway dimension, faeries (tiny winged soaring humanoids with swords and messages of warning/wisdom!), came through to our 'Earth-realm' to offer special advocacy activities designed to offer hope/optimism for traffic-education work in our post-9/11 era. I took an iPhone-photo of this carnival tent 'space-portal' and decided to go searching for these claimed 'faeries' who'd came across to our 'Earth-realm' to bring a 'sword' of hope!

THE POST (News-paper): Our haunted images of the event of 9/11 reminds us of the shared-IQ of modern world traffic-DNA.

As I drove around the area and searched for 'real signs' of these claimed 'faeries' who came through the space-portal to search for visions of optimism advocacy in this post-9/11 era in Western civilization, I decided to take a rest-stop at a magnificent looking Courtyard (Marriott) hotel in the Southwest and wanted to take in some coffee-boost in the lounge. This is where our real 'adventure' begins, folks.

Inside two lounge-rooms or convention/meeting areas (or spaces!) inside this magnificent Courtyard hotel (Southwest), I found a group of very attractive and well-speaking individuals, 30-somethings, conversing about the 'quality' of cyber-work/dialogue surrounding post-9/11 era commerce grid activity designed to boost capitalism optimism or rhetoric in Western civilization. I drank my coffee-cups of energy and 'quietly spied' on these 'magical people' conversing about their 'mission' or vision(s).

Inside another meeting-room of the very-same Courtyard, I saw another group of smart-looking 30-somethings working 'actively' with working folks on laptops, consulting/advising them on how to build profiles/conversations about Christian (or Catholic!) based commerce grid securities ideas in the West, and it dawned on me (suddenly!) that these 'advocacy consultants/chatters' working alongside or thinking about the 'citizens' of Western grid-traffic may indeed be those 'magic-faeries' the carnival-tent magician with his claimed 'space-portal' sent to 'Earth-realm' to offer real social-space ideas/imagination about 'wrought' civilization dreams/work-spaces!

Of course, I remembered from my Eastern high-school history coursework when I was a younger man the stories of incredible/fantastic visions or 'sightings' of wartime (WWI) 'angels' or specters of superstition who many soldiers on the fields/battlefield(s) 'claimed' to be witnessing as messengers of endurance or confidence in the Earth-time of great fear(s). Could these 'faeries' from that carnival-tent space-portal indeed be like those 'wartime-angels' soldiers on the fields witnessed/claimed as 'personal' advocates of dreams?

Of course, our modern planet is indeed going through difficult tribulations currently. Already mentioned 9/11 'visions' continue to haunt our 'chats' about commercial investments in globalized traffic/capitalism (World Trade Center); we can add to that 'event' the trauma of the Coronavirus, global warming, and of course, the current Russo-Ukrainian War. This is a time of great 'calamity' and the Russian invasion of Ukraine/Crimea certainly has 'nabbed' our traffic visions of great mobilizations of courage...and dissatisfaction(s)!

I drove on further in this 'cross-country' mission-drive to find proof or ideas about my cyber-homeschooling mission-work in education for modern world commerce traffic security optimism/rhetoric/modeling and came upon a strange 'super' shopping-center 'event' in which multiple police vehicles were waiting to deal (with their flashing-lights) with a strange occurrence of multiple 'fanatics' running into the stores wielding water-guns and making a ruckus in their Coronavirus masks. Apparently, there'd been some 'homegrown' act of mischief/anarchy regarding everyday shopping sanity at this place I found/witnessed.

I walked into the 'super' market and noticed a beautiful young woman (in her nice/safe Coronavirus mask!) talking to herself, very calmly, while deciding between a group of fresh new fruits in that area of the store. She'd been 'oblivious' to the 'funny-goings on' of the water-gun anarchists inside the market, now being 'escorted' by the policemen, and she seemed only insistent to focus on the living securities of everyday life! I truly now wondered/speculated if she indeed might be one of those 'carnival-tent magic space-portal crossing Earth-realm 'faeries'' the magician at the carnival claimed were here to spread 'imaginations' about living confidence! I asked her, "Why're you so curious about finding the 'perfect' orange?" to which she eerily replied, "Fruit-choice marks humanity's 'sacred vision' of consumerism/capitalism drawing(s)!"

When I returned home from this cross-country 'epic' adventure back to New England, I decided to compose a series of 9/11 transcendence-optimism portraits/paintings for my cyber-homeschooling blogs and collages intended to deliver 'home' the sane message that this modern era of great traffic sophistications requires a 'real' magical imagination about the 'quality' of 'Earth-realm' birth-rights. That's when I seriously asked myself, "Might I myself be a 'faerie' or some kind of 'semi-human angel' sent to 'Earth-realm' for this cyber-homeschooling 'vision' mission of security advocacy dreams?"

I'm still Amlan Satan, New England Ivy graduate and cyber-homeschooling mission educator working on the home-based approaches to a modern lifestyle-based 'living' rhetoric surrounding consumerism consciousness and capitalism photojournalism! However, now, as I sit in front of my computer before breakfast in my shorts/hat and make my pre-schooling online Facebook posts/comments about the day's upcoming works, I wonder in my mind if what I've been dreaming about all along is an 'escape' from all this civilization drama!

FRIEND: What's with the faerie-sculpture, Satan (Amlan)?
AMLAN (Me!): Well, let's just say I've been 'awakened' by a spectral idea or vision of Earth-realm inceptions.

“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom” (Rudy Giuliani).
