My art is interactive, focused on exploring the meaning, and underlying structures of reality. You might say it's spiritual art, but spirituality (and perhaps art of my kind) is merely a pointer or expression of something that is BEYOND KNOWING! ☮

In prior posts I spoke of "process", methods to cultivate growth or peace of mind, but this perpetuates the illusion that there is a "you" who has to make choices, exert will, defend status, and pursue a goal. The truth may be that all efforts to cultivate a "positive" process only slow down the dissolution of ego. The one you think you are... the one earning or losing credit, growing along a path... and even the one who reports finding more peace... is not who you are. The big joke/irony is the only process is to question who it is claiming process. Who is this illusory self who clings, or rejects a path; who wants a future outcome so they can be better? "What is it that believes, "I'm undergoing a process?"
(to those who seek karma credits, favor of God, or "+" self image, the goal isn't collecting good karma, a seat by God's throne, or to be admired by guru - it's no karma, and dissolution into the divine.). I put that in parens as I think all that is mind stuff humans invented to try to grok the ineffable. In Ken Wilber land that's blue/orange and for orange swap God for boss and karma for promotion/respect. But who is it that craves respect or ticket to heaven? It's not you as USP (Ultimate Subjective Position). Some of the West say, "It's God's will", gurus of East say, "There is no doer" and some artists follow the muse or are channelling. This can be combined with Integral (yellow) and you allow energy to move along chakras/stages without taking credit or shame. The one you think you are... the one earning or losing credit, growing along a path... and even the one who reports finding more peace... is not who you are.
I have been asked to write a short profile message through which I give insight in my current vision on my artistic practice. I can easily write 5,000 words, and actually have, but for the purpose here can I write it as poem:
Art and Spirit split
with many reasons
but as time comes in seasons
I aim to bring them together.
Whether that is with interactive art
that mentions Carl Jung
or eco-mission to save your young
remains to be seen
But it's all a dream
and even a dream alarm clock
can wake you up.
