Kathryn Mayo, “Self-Portrait While Dreaming”

“The very moment you change your perception, you re-write the biochemistry of your body. Our emotions directly influence the amount of active coding sites in the double helix of your DNA, thus changing the gene's expression and altering our physiology. One of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time is that Biology and Belief are direct reflections of one another.

What you think, what you feel, and what manifests in your body and the experiences you attract are always a match, 100% of the time, no exceptions. There is nothing random about evolution and DNA alterations, animals evolve and adapt to their environments based on their perceptions relative to their habitat.”

— Dr. Bruce H. Lipton [Wanderings]

In other words, when we look at art, we’re not only looking at it; we’re also looking through the materials—paint, pigment, canvas, what have you—to something else. You’re not only seeing yourself and the mind of the maker; in some metaphysical but organic way you’re seeing the group mind, and even all the minds that have ever lived. You’re seeing a static object with thought and experience embedded in it, a changeless thing that changes through time. Art is a region where protocols are invented or suspended and things one doesn’t understand change one’s life.

In today's state of hyperactivity, where boredom is not allowed to emerge, we never reach the state of deep mental relaxation. The information society is an age of heightened mental tension, because the essence of information is surprise and the stimulus it provides. The tsunami of information means that our perceptual apparatus is permanently stimulated. It can no longer enter into contemplation. The tsunami of information fragments our attention. It prevents the contemplative lingering that is essential to narrating and careful listening . . . In the process of digitalization, . . . information acquires an altogether different status. Reality itself takes on the form of information and data. For the most part, we perceive reality in terms of information or through the lens of information. Information is an idea—that is, a re-representation. When reality takes the form of information, the immediate experience of presence withers. When digitalization gives everything the form of information, reality is flattened.

A symbol can always be studied from an infinite number of points of view; and each thinker has the right to discover in the symbol a new meaning corresponding to the logic of his own conceptions. As a matter of fact symbols are precisely intended to awaken ideas sleeping in our consciousness. They arouse a thought by means of suggestion and thus cause the truth which lies hidden in the depths of our spirit to reveal itself. In order that the symbols could speak, it is essential that we should have in ourselves the germs of the ideas, the revelation of which constitutes the mission of the symbols. But no revelation whatever is possible if the mind is empty, sterile and inert.
