  • Exit Interview

    I was given the questionnaire to answer after leaving the Seatemple Inn gathering. Once I was rested, I opened the file and began to respond to it point by point. Q. How would you define the Wunderkabinett project in your own words? Is it a physical/digital collection, an artistic concept, or something else? What inspired…

  • Conclusion

    At the beginning of the project, I was unaware of the multiplicity of facets being brought to bear on this one condition: the condition of LOVE and its relation to the emergence of the soul.  It seemed that all the swirling maelstrom of magic and form, energies and sympathies, were part of an external system…

  • Return

    It wasn’t until I was on the train home that the ideas were clarified. The feelings that had been touched upon were given words and sorted into their right locations again. I knew the transition had occurred and that life would never be the same again, and that somehow the purpose of discovery had opened…

  • About the Collection

    The Archivist gave her presentation, a formal report to the assembly. It became clearer to me over the years of my study, that there was no end to the variations and alternates that were offered, and that there were innumerable cabinets, boxes, containers, temple goods and burial talismans, along with all the sacred and secular…

  • The Assembly

    Seated at the table, I quickly took notes as to who these characters might be, wondering what objects they might be stewards of.  I had heard tell of others, earlier appointees who declined the invitation to the table, the whole cosmic undertaking being too much for them. Even if some of us could have been…

  • Presentation and Vision

    I was lost and broken when I first arrived at the Seatemple Inn, and unsure as to what was expected of me. “Don’t worry,” the clerk had told me as I surveyed the empty lobby, you will meet the others soon. Were the others at an event that I hadn’t been given clearance to attend?…

  • Simplicity to the rescue

    This was not to be a complicated metaphysics, a difficult jnana yogic treatise, an interior dance obscura.  This was to be a simple description of the form, purpose and meaning of the objects in several of the wunderkabinetts that have been documented so far. They did communicate, and they did hold meanings far beyond their…

  • Seatemple

    Seatemple

    Welcome to Seatemple, the bright sign announced as we drove up the curving entryway. It looked like an average motel with a main lodge and a smaller strip of units with parking right in front. He stopped the car, opened the door for me and helped me out. Still a bit unsteady, I held onto…

  • Seatemple or warehouse?

    Seatemple or warehouse?

    I’d been commanded by someone to appear at the warehouse, and then at the apartment I found myself invited by letter to the Seatemple Inn. Could I do both? Were they connected or in opposition? Which was the “good side”? “Am I on the good side?” I wondered. My research had been ordered, then tracked…
