Always running circles in my head.

"The soul that we were given or spirit, are spirits which found a way to swim through the immense network of life that can live in the infinity of space. Is not the human body a mere shell, a form of existence, all too small and weak for consciousness with such vast reach and potential?"
We can live mind out of body, but we cant live body out of mind. Are we as artists searching for this answer consciously or subconsciously through our art?

  1. I don't understand your statement of living mind out of body, but not body out of mind...they are one in the same concept. One way or another, the mind leaves the body. Or the body leaves the mind. The two entities are separated. So how can we say that we can do one, but not the other? Why would that have significance to us?

    Interesting quote : )

  2. As you said Dani, the two entities are separated. Im talking more about the mind. Without the mind we are nothing and left with an empty shell. Without the body we still have the mind, or the soul, the spirit that allows us to live, to think, breathe, and paint.
    My question is, when we are creative in any way shape or form, are we searching for answers consciously or subconsciously through our art? Or are we merely artistic because its a talent. Can art be a channel in discovering who we are? Or who we want to be?
