A new painting to share; "The Secret Sword" Oils on Panel 24X48in “Cut off your dualism, and let the one sword stand serenely by itself against the sky!” “The Sword of Mystery”. The divine (or the unconscious) is within and the mysteries manifest themselves outwardly. When the divine occupies the seat of the Sword of Mystery, the body and limbs are ready to exhibit all the floweriness that belongs to the Unthinkable. This sword is not at all material, it is the Unconscious which works behind the field of consciousness. …The Unconscious, therefore, must be brought out and made to occupy the entire field of mentation, so that what is primarily there as a force of instinctual irresistibility makes free use of the consciously accumulated knowledge. This is the wielding of Yagyu’s Sword of Mystery.” – Daisetz Suzuki https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Yas8XDejs/?igshid=1w34atue88aun
