Description
Summary:Both the creative mind of an artist and spiritual seeker participate intimately in the world they observe. They serve to understand the nature and function of reality as a whole. For a meaningful journey the inquiry has to be into the body and through the body - not outside of it. Body can corrupt. It can tempt us to remain concerned with minor interests, but this temptation has its limits. The corruption that the mind can indulge in, however, is beyond imagination. The cause and effect of much of our tension today is the indulgence of mind. When we speak about reality, attempting to reveal its mystery, we inevitably speak in contradictions. The role of a creative mind is to perceive the realms of reality that contradict the gushing force of everyday reality. To make a pause, to recognise the subtler realms that help us re-enter the reality with a new vision.
