“Forward and backward I have gone, and for me it has been an immense journey. Those who accompany me need not look for science in the usual sense, though I have done all I can to avoid errors in fact,” Eiseley. Went into early #Rome painting and promise myself not to go in again. The travel work is beneath. That is backward and forward and the initial work has a relationship to the studio work, but is different. There is no pressure on first impressions because all that we accumulate in our abilities will show up later. Trusting that what appears has some of us is part of the map, in everything. To learn and to grow is delicate as we meet the idea that we don’t have to know everything already. I revised it a few times and how I see symbolism changes with me. We sit with established forms, but the river of life is moving before us, manna and energy move down to us, we are vulnerable. It is not static, this life. On the left it’s odd, but I like it - a figure head is stuck on top, like an odd trophy. The Figure Head and the River. #openenergyart #abstractart #artandlivingenergy #Perfection is never the goal. #Healing and #expanding in the #senses. #power in #patience and process. #journey. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lWFaQH0yL/?igshid=a17kaldacm8s

“I remember when doing one of my first pieces of active imagination that a figure came which had such a marvelous feeling and made such announcements, and I simply could not write them down! It seems to me so disgusting that I just blocked it... .... There is something skeptical in us and in our down-to-earth nature which cannot take it, but that is the style of the unconscious and explains why, as soon as people fall into it, they speak with conviction and begin to have this pompous, emotionally impressive style. ... When deeper emotional layers are touched upon, one just has to accept this,” Marie-Louise von Franz from Alchemy. I find this different among different people. Some people enjoy being pompous - and some people seem to want to achieve things so they can be in that altered voice. But then, there is a relationship between the proceed of our active imaginations, which can be from the hand, and what we accept as good. I l really cannot tell until later, so that opens the creative act, and I accept all of it. It do work to finish what I do as far as I can go, but some simple things are very powerful. So our idea about ourselves is part of how we work with the image to be makers. #abstractart #openenergyart #contemporaryart Gouache on paper. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-o6Wth-Sl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=msk1zu69i17n

“The debating-point response of the super-AI proponents is that the human mind consists of electrical and chemical components that are unintelligent in themselves. But here we encounter the Gödel-Turing difficulty of self-reference. By referring back to their own brains, which they really don’t understand, the AI scientists plunge directly into the self-referential Gödel perplex. By using their own minds and consciousness to deny the significance of consciousness in minds, they refute themselves,” George Gilder, Life After Google. I became conscious of surprising sentences before I became a painter. Conversations are a random act between two consciousnesses, so it’s two interpreters and other lives bring other things. #engagement is a branch or a road or a bridge. I still say that #competitiveness doesn’t make sense. It’s the use of the mind and life that is the sacred #openenergyart. We are all interpreting from our spot of our time of life and who we are. Some of us are more #righthemispheredominant than others. Creativity is surprise and science doesn’t know what consciousness is. #energyalwaysknowsmorethanwedo , it’s complex to be a human, and how much you like surprises makes how you perceive different. #alchemy , we don’t know what makes what but usually it works out. #abstractart #contemporaryart Oil on paper, #taosnewmexico . https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7jHkNhgyI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=189z5wasd64vx

“With the benefit of time and deep reflection (yes, that is needed and often needed), I now know, more than eight years after that interview, that Don Juan could have told his story any number of ways, yet he had chosen to describe his initial training as a paqo in the most modest of terms, and he had not even hinted at his considerable powers as a suyu alto mesayoq. He had mentioned his fears, his compassion for his disabled mentor, his gratitude to God and for his teachers, even for Don Andrea Espinosa, arguably one of the greatest paqos of Q’ero but one who was not able to come through for Don Juan in his training. Nothing in his story served to aggrandize himself or others — which is so typical of the Q’ero”, from Masters of the Living Energy, Joan Parisi Wilcox. This is studio work from my travel work in #brazil. My father went there often for two decades for his work and I feel a kindredness in my soul there. My friend Váleria has an open invitation for me. I travel to feel what is different and I read energy with my #openenergyart. Humans and civilizations are to be experienced, and generalizers are wrong. Some things we learn from our lives. I think that was what Emerson was saying about some of us put ourselves in front of things and that is where we get to read energy, whether of ourselves in our own #alchemy or in our #perception of others. Those who say they are the most may likely and probably are the least. With a nod and appreciation for the many wonderful #abstractartists on Instagram, to their and your #contemporaryart , to everyone persisting to #practiceintime, to everyone’s #artandlivingenergy . I send thanks and I wish grace to the artists I see here. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq23Eqmhdmc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gw0aexd6tl9j

“Upborne and surrounded as we are by this all-creating rapture, soft and fluid as a cloud or the air, why should we be such hard pedants, and magnify a few forms? Why should we make account of time, or of magnitude, or of figure? The soul knows them not, and genius, obeying its law, knows how to play with them as a young child plays with graybeards and in churches. Genius studies the causal thought, and, far back in the womb of things, sees the rays parting from one orb, that diverg ere they fall by infinite diameters,” Emerson from History, an essay. There again is causal idea and the relationship of spontaneous actions to thought - a question of #openenergyart. I’m thankful today for my family and for love. #everyoneisdoingthebestthattheycan and #energyalwaysknowsmorethanwedo , there is #divinegrace and there is #love, these are the wonders of the life. #abstractart #artandlivingenergy #thankful. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqff6e9j6U1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vtjudbkkqc1
