I believe that art is a real gateway and shamanic journey in itself. 99.999% of what affects our reality will be undetectable by our senses.

Miscreant User ID: 278 United States 01/03/2006 03:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "what will you do now? do you feel any promptings to create in other venues, or just sit and watch the old world melt :-)." That's the million-dollar question. I have a few ideas... one is to open up an art studio for adults with 3-4 hour long sessions. They can set up their own stations (oils, easels, still lifes) and keep them there. There's nothing like it here, but I studied with David Zuccharini in Maryland in this kind of setting and really got a lot out of it. That would be bumping it up to the next level (teacher). 99.999% of what affects our reality will be undetectable by our senses.

cecirdr User ID: 57767 United States 01/03/2006 04:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Miscreant, you've had an interesting observation about no longer feeling like doing. IMO, either way doing or *appearing* to not do is just fine...and is still doing because it is allowing...being. I know very little of my past lives, but if a spark isn't there to create *traditional* types of objects d'art, that surely doesnt' mean you're not creating. Just being "here" is certainly creative...and much more so (IMO) than most of us give credit for. Three is no such thing as an observer, you can try to play the role of being outside the creation and watching...but it's impossible. You are watching AND acting. Oh...and freyja, don't worry 'bout the world melting. It ain't gonna happen in my universe. Now...I can't speak for yours and which version of me you're interacting with, but this chick's got plans...big plans...some may call it "delusions of grandeur". hahahaha! Ceci |

This is sometimes referred to as living in the moment, neither anticipating the future nor regretting the past. so here we are!" 99.999% of what affects our reality will be undetectable by our senses.

cecirdr User ID: 57767 United States 01/03/2006 04:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Coooool. Interesting synchronicty is I just (several days ago) picked up an i ching set. The text to explain it is by Wu Wei. Hahahaha! I was able to google wei wu wei, but only found the name wu wei...that's why I wanted clarification. I remember dreaming one time of being on trial. I felt the panic as I tried to expalin my case...the detail I tried to represent to the court was excruciatingly laborious. Then the feeling washed over me...I didn't have to do any of that. My story is built by my beliefs and is therefore immune to my acting. The acting represents a belief that beliefs alone do not shape the world. It represented a fundemental fear. So in the dream, I had an aha experience, sat back in my chair and relaxed. The trial went smoothly and I was "acquitted". Ceci |

cecirdr User ID: 57767 United States 01/03/2006 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm actually glad I kept myself ignorant of these other belief systems. That way it's a strong event for me to discover that I've "reinvented" the wheel. I don't have any draw to "study" this wei wu wei belief system other that to find it intriguing that me, myself, and I had a similar conclusion. Now...need to go look up tantra. Ceci |
