Spiritual Archaeology
Among the Hostiles
During our 3-year social experiment, as requested by the higher cosmic beings – the Those-Who-Know – the ModroGorje owners and artists have been targeted with ongoing intimidation, abuse and death threats by a few Aboriginal representatives, who are unable to understand any of the components of the DreamRaiser project.
In the Blue Mountains today, Aborigines are represented by the worst amongst them. These violent individuals feed on anger and hatred, expressed in their violent behaviour. The Blue Mountains City Council worker Brad Moore helped them, and bullied us with lies that our artists Gina Sinozich and Benedikt Osváth were in breach of the Copyright Act and Intellectual Property law. With help by other council workers and councillors, they engineered our Development Application refusal, with the assistance of the Arts Law Centre of Australia [read here]
They made their decision first, and then engineered a way to achieve it. We and our artists Gina Sinozich and Benedikt Osváth were offended, insulted, humiliated, intimidated, had our art repeatedly vandalised and our lives threatened. We were targeted with racist remarks, vilified and falsely accused throughout the despicable action undertaken by the Blue Mountains Council.
That type of process is known as a “kangaroo court” – when the outcome of a procedure is determined in advance, for the purpose of ensuring preconceived result, by going through the motions and manipulating the procedure. As usual in a kangaroo court proceeding, our rights were deliberately ignored. Not one person throughout that process ever asked us what the Wanjina Watchers in the Whispering Stone sculpture was all about, what the “Dreamtime Set in Stone” book means, and what the rest of the Australian population thinks about our art.
Our supporters were silenced with threats of violence, our experts were ignored, and any material in our favour was disregarded. So now, this material has been compiled in a book entitled “The social impact of Aboriginal hate in contemporary Australian society – a social, political, and archaeological study, examining art censorship”.
It contains a collection of expert reports and articles, the opinion of some honest residents of Katoomba including Aboriginal people who loved our art, and submissions by our supporters which the Blue Mountains City Council, Arts Law Centre, and Land Court all decided to ignore.
In our opinion, the treatment we received is clear example of reverse racism.
In protest to the injustice and damage to reputation that we and our artists had to suffer, we encurage every artist in the free world to find inspiration in prehistoric Australian cave art and join our DreamArt competition.

Among the Hostiles – Part 1 is about events between January and August 2010, revolving around the creation of the Wanjina Watchers in the Whispering Stone sculpture by Ben Osváth.
During those eight months, we said little about the campaign of hate, concerned that speaking of one or two thugs would reflect badly on all Aboriginal people. But seeing that our kindness is being misinterpreted as weakness, and our patience only has prompted more vicious ways of abuse, we decided to speak out.
Among the Hostiles – Part 2 details the events between August 2010 and December 2011. It contains details about the Blue Mountains council interference, after Aboriginal hysterical and violent reactions to our DreamRaiser project, including the Wanjina Watchers in the Whispering Stone sculpture.
Apart from describing the behaviour of council staff and councillors, Part 2 – "Meet the Locals" – contains the comments and opinions of the local residents collected during our 3-year Blue Mountains social experiment.
