The new world

So here it is......... haven't been doing much art lately. Yeah it's true sometimes we get sidetracked. Well not art in the terms of me being in that specific mind space.

Truthfully if you think about it, all of life is art and art is life. We are forever creating in everything we do. There is a plan in place for me to get into that space but right now my mind is on energy. And energy is definitely leaving it wide open.

Wide open to the fact that just as life is art, all is energy, creativity is the manipulation of energy to achieve a specific goal. All thought requires energy to have a thought, and the energy that is applied to that thought results in a reaction, action and ultimately creation of an outcome.

I could go even further. For instance humans possess something even greater than our minds. Our Spirits, which is the one thing that connects us to everything, and everyone. It is the network of the unseen that intuitive knowing, where all answers to all questions exist. It's just a matter of us being able to tap into it. It's also what could be considered the human dilemma.
And the only reason I say this I would have to give you an example. (be patient this is all being automatically written)
It is our spirits nature to only do what is for our best interest, however, in saying that and knowing human nature that isn't always the case. The decisions that humans make are egocentric, that's one of the easily identifying characteristics of our species. Taking this into consideration it makes it hard for us to tap into that intuitive knowing easily unless possibly faced with a very traumatic situation.

It's in my opinion that our brains are just much to busy in thought to truly quiet itself to hear, or in the case our intuition to feel what is best. There is a lot written about these very things in many different ways for many different people. It should seem very easy, but than why isn't it easy. What is it about our human nature that just absolutely has to get in the way. For some would say it's conditioning and some would have you think it's your beliefs. Ultimately we are perfect and we have the tools to tap into this. The things is we live busy lives, we do what we must to survive and that in itself is proving that we don't believe, we don't believe that we will be provided for. It's our fear of the unknown that stops us for if we truly believed there would be a safe place a safe space for us to be able to learn and achieve mastery in these tools without the fear of knowing where our next meal will be coming from or whether we have a roof over our heads.

I do believe there is a solution out there and yes I haven't felt it yet, but I do feel it exists. I do believe that one of the reasons we don't accept these solutions is because our own egos get in the way. We are too proud. In a lot of instances we were taught pride where indeed we should have been taught humbleness and gratitude. In our brightly painted and marketed world can gratitude be real. Do we even know what to be grateful for. As humans separate themselves from each other more and more and cause drama and trauma in each other lives can we truly feel the gratitude.

It's with this in mind I ask - who do you have to be grateful for?
What scenarios in your life do you have to be grateful for? Yes even in the bad scenarios or what you might be considered to be bad or traumatic, what can you be grateful for there too? It's often there we uncover our innermost gratitude and that would be for our courage, our faith, our hope in what we believe to be good.

I am grateful to you, for having read this, and if I could gift to you anything it would be to ask questions and explore.
Turn off the automatic pilot, take a deep breath and jump in.

With love always

Universal Language

Okay so I haven't blogged in a bit about art. Mostly because I have been absorbing information. A lot of information, mostly to do with Quantum Physics and Ecology and Energy. There's more to come on this down the road I'm sure. Maybe even some art generated with this in mind. There really is no forethought given to my paintings as I paint. Realism isn't my thing in painting and of course there is more to that than meets the eye. Ultimately to me painting is like a language, and painting something that is realistic - is painting something that exists in the physical. So we're not talking about anything new, where's the creativity in that?

I started really pondering language and one of the reasons why is because my daughter has difficulty reading. She has the pleasure of seeing things differently, three dimensionally. Which as a parent until recently has kind of boggled my mind - and not necessarily in the best of ways and mostly because I didn't understand how she thinks. A friend who is also challenged with this same type of thinking described it for me. Now I just think it's kind of cool, and well it challenges me to look at things differently.

So in my exploration into the science of existence and energy a thought literally burst into my head. Something my daughter would always say to me and that is 'I like math better than reading or writing'. Imagine that! I think I figured out some of the reasons why she likes numbers more so than words. One: numbers are numbers there is no need to translate. It is a Universal language. It would be the same in English, French, Swahili, Russian......... you name it it's the same everywhere. Two is energy, oddly enough numbers are the language of energy. All energy is measured by numbers.

In my quest of trying to understand 3rd dimensional thinking I started coming across things and that is many of this world's geniuses all had learning difficulties. Numbers seem to be the common language. I actually kind of look forward to see how the world unfolds for my daughter. In all ways I am certain it will be perfect and adventurous. The biggest obstacle is to unlock the curiosity and energy of how she see's things and having the courage and disassociation of what others think to pave the way to a brighter future.

The one thing I ultimately would love to see happen is for the mentors and teachers who I know exist out there to become present in her life.

So you're probably wondering what all this has to do with art, and I will say simply Leonardo Da Vinci.

I will be back soon........ on more about my Art.

Life is Art unfolding in every moment. Enjoy!
