Shallan Davar
Lines of a shattered mind
awareness is knowing;
not intellectual knowledge, not collected information, not mental certainty. knowing means reality is already actual and complete as it appears. nothing needs to be understood or verified for existence to be real.
desires arise only because they are already included in this knowing. a desire cannot appear unless it already exists as part of the reality being known. its appearance is its confirmation; fulfillment is already embedded in the knowing that contains it. there is never a phase of “almost” or “not yet.” the outcome is present the moment the desire shows up.
the mind does not create proof or progress. it narrates after the fact. knowing precedes thought entirely, so knowing does not rely on thought to validate desire. there is no requirement for mental clarity, explanation, prediction, monitoring, or correction when what is known is already whole.
the desire is the clarity. the desire is the evidence. the desire is the result. nothing appears without its completion being fully accounted for.
the dream, the appearance of reality; is knowing showing itself. reflection is immediate and inevitable because nothing exists separate from the knowing. no force stands outside it to delay, distort, or challenge what appears.
knowing does not move toward form. knowing is already present as everything appearing as form. appearance never changes knowing; it only reveals what is already contained.
there is no distance between desire and fulfillment. no uncertainty. no transition. no pending step.
a desire appearing means it is already included. what is included appears as experience. and there is nothing more to add.

Shoutout to Shallan's alters and Elhokar's jester for going: "Hm, what should my moniker be? Why my job of course!"
been doing a lot of traditional ink work practice! majority of these still need to be cleaned up/finished/scanned but i thought i’d share what i’d been working on
Rapture, projected in the area
Formless Chaos
The lesson here is not to commit ink to a page unless you’re willing to work around it, which is what I did a lot here, working around lines I forgot why I permanently placed.
