all these comments are evil.this lady is not.

An artist that makes you uncomfortable is a powerful artist. I feel like it’s the same reason it is so scary to look at yourself straight in the eyes in the mirror.

Wayyy past being an artist, she is literally a sorceress and a real life vamp. Not many that can use magic left in this world. One thing though is there are other options for energy sources.

[@NRS8963]

@Christopher Leubner I know I'm late, but she is by far a very talented sorceress...a very very talented one at that. Many do not understand her work, but I do. I feel it.

She bothers people who have children and have an aversion to pedophiles.

Preface: When you never see or witness profound love between your parents (who have never reached spiritual maturity) .... and thus never know LOVE as a child............... and the cycle dates back generations ......... People worship 'eccentric' artists. Apparantely they appear super modern and progressive when compared to the rest of us. The more extreme the 'art' (or as l deem it, the sickness), the more interesting .... to me she is just another 'eccentric artist' on the schyzotypal/schizoid comorbid autism/asperger spectrum, thats all .... which lends itself to her blankness, disconnection, appearance, soulessness and obsessions and fascinations with the darker, sicker, perverse, unconventional elements of life .... but more importantly, she is the manifestation and representation of the generational, family lineage/bloodline templating and dysfunction of her family of origin. She then mirrors to society the sickness in people, that too exists within her self, her family and all her previous generations of her family. That's all. Healing required, but no one in the family either now or then has/had the courage, conscousness and awakening to work towards a profound 'union with self' and thus know LOVE ... the highest level of consciousness that will ever exist. She appeals to the sickness, mental illness, darkness, perversions, violence and degradation that exists in unhealed people. Healthy people, empaths etc see into her soul and see her un-development, her nothingness, her black empty void. Her art does nothing for us, in fact, only promotes pity for such an existence that cannot truly know, give and receive profound love with the desire to deeply elevate all creation. Healthy people are un-moved and unaffected by her. She operates in the dimension of the unhealed together with the others who are unhealed. Leave them there. Of no interest to the rest of us. Will be interesting to see if she is capable of transmuting her intergenerational/ bloodline trauma and sicknesss, into LOVE. In other words, breaking the intergenerational cycle of dysfunction and 'disconnect with the self' that exists in her lineage and thus elevating all soul consciousness in her group, higher. She is not ready, in this lifetime at least ... it appears. Marina, oh how your life would have been had you known love as a child and seen symbiotic, profound love between your parents. Perhaps your art would have then lit up and elevated the world.

A really excellent comment. Totally agree.

[@cleomaddiem3581]

@@Omshanto55 Thankyou so much for your comment. It is imperative for people to break dysfunctional family/bloodline/integenerational templates and move towards the highest consciousness that will ever exist .... namely, LOVE. At this highest level, there is only balance ... and a deep desire and life mission to elevate humanity. In my deep opinion, it is why every person exists on the planet ... to work towards 'union within self' ... i.e. love. Some are further along the path than others. Kind regards from Melbourne, Australia.

[@osmanyreyes8373]

Context is important. I think that’s what people don’t get. They fear her message because of that.

[@caits3272]

Her exercise is a spell. I think she might have been a vampire or some shit in Europe or her family has some weird history.

[@piemakerproductions]

I love Marina more than America
