PILOT WHALES STRANDING IN TASMANIA SEPT 2020
HONOURING MY LITTLE FRIENDS WHO PERISHED AT STRAHAN
"Nature, the First People and the spirit of our ancestors are giving you loud warnings. Today, December 10,1992, you see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophecies said would come. Even animals and birds are warning us with strange change in their behavior such as the beaching of whales. Why do animals act like they know about the earth’s problems and most humans act like they know nothing? If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed.'
HOPI ELDER THOMAS BANYACYA, ADDRESS TO UNITED NATIONS, 1992
Just before I left Tasmania for the top end in July 2020, I had gone to the ocean on the north shore near Devonport. The sun was low and I had my customary chilly-dip and had just played my flute out to Mother Ocean and sending love to the whales and dolphins as I always do. On that particular afternoon I had a question for them in my mind: why exactly did they return to live in the ocean, giving up what clearly were hands whose bones are clearly evident today?
I was drying off and preparing to change into dry clothes with a bloke came running towards me from up at the parking area. At first I thought he was some kind of kook coming to harass me but I was blown away when he excitedly related that he and his wife were watching me, who to them was a native American bloke playing his flute and drum when all of a sudden, three humpback whales appeared out of nowhere, came as close to me as they could, then started breaching! I couldn't see them at the time due to the glare of the steep sun angle, but now I looked and saw them in the distance. I filmed him telling this story, watch the video here:

WHALE ENCOUNTER AT FULL MOON

I was astounded and from a near-by cliff I watched them disappear into the western horizon, their blows gleaming in the light of the setting sun. What a powerful thing to experience and what an acknowledgement of the true and deep connection I have always had with the whales and dolphins.
At that time I didn't feel or note any specific 'message' or information content along the lines of what I had experienced with the bottle-nosed dolphins of Aotea, who have imparted profound senses of urgency and warning to me more than once. But their spirit was with me stronger than ever, and the mysteries of their true nature and messages always on my mind.
A few weeks later I was setting up art-lab here in Darwin when I see that three humpback whales had ventured many kms up the East Alligator river in Kakadu National Park. This was unprecedented behaviour and never before witnessed. After a day or so all but one returned to the ocean, and the single male stayed on for 17 days, defying all attempts to make sense out of his mission and luckily avoiding any attempts on the part of wildlife officials to orchestrate his return to the ocean.
I got in touch with Dr. Carol Palmer, NT marine biologist, and Feach Moyle, Kakadu Park Ranger, who were the two main people over-seeing Mr. Humpback. I emphasized the importance of just letting him do what he wants, that he is clearly not 'lost' and is probably there for reasons that we as mere humans could not possibly comprehend. Much to their credit, they didn't do anything and finally he returned to the ocean, a bit emaciated but uneaten by the legion of crocodiles whose territory he had just visited.
MR. HUMPBACK 'WAVING' AS HE RETURNED TO OCEAN!
Extraordinarily ironically, on the very afternoon that Mr. Humpback returned to the ocean after his 17 day vigil and we were all celebrating, I get word that a huge pilot whale stranding had begun near Strahan on the west coast of Tasmania, where I had just come from a month earlier.
Over the next few days over 500 pilot whales stranded, some of them apparently already dead. Over 100 were successfully refloated and survived, thanks to legendary efforts on the part of Dr. Kris Carlyon and crew of DPIPWE Tasmania, but this, the largest cetacean stranding event in the history of modern Australia, was just as anomalous as the behaviour of Mr. Humpback, in that many of these pilots ventured more than 10 kms up into the mouth of a river, something they would normally never do. They weren't 'looking for food' as they are deep-diving benthic feeders and eat squid. I think they had been terrified into a panic-reaction at sea and sought refuge trying to get away from the bogey-monster, and trying to get their ears out of the water to keep from being deafened by an acoustic holocaust whose origin they did not understand.
VICTIMS OF IMPERIAL MOBILIZATION, 'FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY'
"...it is clear to me that this 'entire community' of beautiful fellow beings most of whom perished, was not 'lost', 'looking for food' or 'misadventuring' but were in the grips of a fully blown panic reaction and that they were fleeing something that terrified them unimaginably.
They did exactly what the people did who freaked out because of the 'War of the World's broadcast in 1938: they thought they were going to die soon and did their best to prepare themselves.
Whale and dolphin stranding is a complex and little-understood occurrence, but we know that when they are on the sand, even though they are immobilized for however long, they are able to continue to breathe without threat of drowning, within the limits of tidal water level variation. They would know this, and may instinctively or purposely propel themselves onto the sand as a way of escaping from the water if they think that some kind of danger might be pursuing them. Whales and dolphins who just want to pass away peacefully without drowning have been known to beach themselves, sometimes as a couple. I witnessed this in Yamba NSW in 2005 with a male and female Risso's dolphin whose body markings indicated advanced age. I cannot be sure that their intention was to 'pass away peacefully' but it sure seemed that way when they re-stranded after being refloated.
I have also realized that getting out of the water greatly reduces their ability to hear. Cetaceans as a whole have very good vision comparable to ours but hearing is by far their primary channel of sensation, perception and information transfer. Sound travels faster and more intensely in water than in air, and the acoustic world of the cetaceans is incomprehensible to us. Large whales are known to communicate for thousands of kilometers using benthic thermocline sound channels. The global ocean, devoid of light below a couple hundred meters, is truly a universe teeming with life who depends on sound.
A POSSIBLE SCENARIO
All of a sudden, the acoustic holocaust begins.
Against the already-elevated background noise level to which cetaceans try to adapt but only under chronic stress, a rocket shrieks across the sky, explodes and crashes into the ocean. Missiles are launched from thundering destroyer-class vessels, and torpedos deployed from helicopters. Fighter planes zoom just above the surface of the ocean, and depth-charges are detonated. Submarines deploy UAV's or 'unmanned autonomous vehicles' and swarms of drones. The sky and waters are filled with a full spectrum of electromagnetic zappings and transmissions, command and control sensors and surveillance, as the electronic battle-field is charted and 'Situational Awareness' engaged. Mid-range and low-frequency active sonars blast the ocean currents with high-intensity ultra-sound that also creates heating. Electrodes send thousands of amps of current into the sea, and microwaves and radio waves saturate the ambient environment connecting the network-centric array of subs, ships, planes and satellites at the speed of light with their commanders, who are increasingly AI and sporting full-spectrum hard-ons.
Radiation Intense Microwave Pollution Annihilating Cetaceans
ALL of this and more just as part of a 'war-game', and against a back-ground of random seismic exploration, oil well construction, waste disposal, trawlers and shipping, in the global ocean long saturated by decades of chemical and radio-logical toxicity.
A SUPER-MEGA-POD OF DOLPHINS
Our community of pilot whales has no idea what is happening: to them, the sky is falling and they are under attack by a terrible monster whose tentacles seem to be spread everywhere. It is everywhere but nowhere. In total fear for their lives and on full panic-attack mode, they make their way to the closest place that could offer them shelter from the storm...a river-mouth/harbour into which they can proceed at great risk but with the possibility of no longer being under attack from the bio-acoustic maelstrom monstrosity. They propel themselves ashore, and into the harbour, to temporarily escape from the ocean, and get their ears out of the water, which has been delivering deafening and mind-numbingly lethal vibrations.
Their normally peaceful existence had become a science-fiction nightmare, courtesy of 'man, the wise.' "

ART HONOURING BEAUTIFUL GLOBICEPHALA FRIENDS AND THEIR SACRED JOURNEY
This whale anomaly was and continues to be of extreme significance. Like any other attention-getting occurrence, it came and went from the public radar, despite my efforts to catalyze ocean awareness in geographically oceanic but psychologically land-locked Tasmania. Rotting carcasses of the pilot whales lay on the beach at Strahan for many months, the biggest reactions from 'the people' revolving around lessened attractiveness for local tourism but having absolutely no concern about our family of life in the ocean and what might have triggered this event...or the next one.
AUSTRALIAN WHALE ANOMALY: CHAK-RAS OF THE RAINBOW SERPENT
I began this painting during the window of time after Mr. Humpback had returned to van Diemen's gulf. It could possibly be the single most important painting I have ever done. It is part of a family that tells a HUGE STORY...in essence, the story of my life, from astronomy student to working with John Lilly's dolphin communication group to being called down under on a 20+ year comprehensive trans-continental walkabout, to being here in the enormously powerful top end for an extraordinarily powerful year embraced by the dream-time ancestors, experiencing my first 'wet' and the whale anomaly and connection with the Rainbow Serpent herself, visiting the far reaches of East Arnhemland, meeting one of the eldest and most powerful of all First Nations Australians, Djalu Gurruwiwi and feeling the energy come into me from being as close as you can get on land to the northern end of the Carpinteria Electrical Conductance Anomaly.
RAINBOW SERPENT IN THE MILKY WAY: A NEW CONSTELLATION
RAINBOW SERPENT IN THE CLOUDS: FROM ESPLANADE, DARWIN, JUNE 2021
I am currently working on the story for these paintings, which in reality if fully told is not far short of an autobiography. That's coming later, but the essence is what I have referred to as the Cetacean-Keringke-Lawlor-Lilly-Narby-Velikovsky-Clube-Napier-Alvarez-Asher-Feradda-Harrington-Marsden hypothesis. This very 'big picture' story is not a casual look at the past but very much not only the world of today...primarily the NON-human worlds...but the world of the very near future.

I would like to extend astronomical love and thanks to the Baty family and to Edward Johnson for unfailing magnanimity and support over my year in Darwin. These two of my most important paintings are now theirs to have and to hold, from now til comet doth us part!!!!!!!!!!

IMAGE TELEPATHICALLY TRANSMITTED FROM DOLHINS, OCTOBER 2015:
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND MEGA-TONS!
To me, the whales and dolphins are a true 'extra-terrestrial intelligence', as they live in the ocean, not on land (any more), and the 'ultimate indigenous people.' Central coast whale-dreaming elders confirmed that the cetaceans not only were 'people' long before we were, but actually taught out distant ancestors how to become people! Over recent millennia, the people of the land have gradually mutated under the influence of as-yet unknown energies and emanations, and/or 'morphogenetic karmic resonance feed-back' ("What we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves"), and today we have become as a whole the HSMV, or Homo Sapiens Macro Virus, which is laying waste and desecrating the entire planet. As a whole we have forgotten and abandoned our true nature and have forgotten who the whales and dolphins really are; but THEY have not forgotten and are doing their best to shout above the military-industrial din to wake us up just as we are teetering on the brink of self-annihilation, and a much larger 'purification event' looming on the event horizon of today.
'CETACEAN DREAM-TIME ASTRONOMY' CHAK-ROKS
By means of their extremely advanced neuro-biology...not only do they have everything we have, they have more and they've had it for 30 times longer than we have...they are able to sense, perceive, know what is going on not only within the oceans of Earth but on land, in the atmosphere, and beyond: the heliocosm and solar system is their back-yard when it comes to cosmic neighbourhood watch. Their intimate connection with water at physical and meta-physical levels gives them a connection with what Dr. John C. Lilly called 'water-based life' existing not only on Earth, but on other planets and in other star-systems. This is central to our understanding of who they are and what it means to be here now on Mother Earth.
