I am to deve...As a Modern artist, I dont see chaos. I am to develop my intuition through exploration and discipline to uncover what i can of that order within, what only seems to our feeble minded species to be chaos, but is truly evidence of god, of not some human like creationist, but the very nature of matter to being true energy.<br /><br /> We now know that quarks are simply stable units of energy, they have no mass, no weight, no substance no more than gravitons or photons. But when combined with others, they create the basic units of matter, Neutrons and positrons. <br /><br />We are but bits of accumulated energy, with dark matter and dark energy, things are finally becoming clearer, the language of mathematics seeing what is, our job as artists to make this visible, felt, known as being true. We do not exist, yet also do. to someday return and be at One. <br /><br />I am amazed that in science they never dreamt of what i knew decades ago, there must be other Universes. Just as once we thought the Earth the center of everything, then the sun, then finding that our galaxy is but one among billions, there must be more. We will most likely never "know" for sure, no way to measure such things. and the very nature of these multiverses could be as spectacularly different as the worlds we are now finding exist beyond our own.<br /><br />I find it amazing and stimulating. we are part of so much more, as artists we are to lose ourselves, create triggering devices that allow others to feel this truth, using all of the mind, not just the small section of the frontal lobe used for critical thinking and in language. The mind stretches throughout our bodies, with mind body and soul as One, we explore and find what we call god, which is but Purpose and Meaning in life, which is so much more than small literal minded religions can possibly fathom. <br /><br />As an artist this is my role in our human culture, to feel what is and develop a visual language to communicate it, to stimulate iwithin others what is already there, and inspire, not by acts, but by the faith that we are a part of creation, an on going process.<br /><br /> Be thankful for this gift everyday, and thank God, not ask for more, more life, more stuff, an eternity when we should feel blessed to have what we have been given. Rejoice, and as artists, bind our human family together, not splinter it with selfish dogmas and rigid rituals. Use them to open the heart, the mind the soul, but to one another. We are family.<br /><br /> That is what God wants, what any father wants. To have children of character and purpose, who will be Men. To life life fully. In the Peace that passeth all understanding and accepting our evolution as gods tool to bring into being. To mature as individuals and as a people. <br /><br />A asalaamu alaikumDonald Frazellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14438703089946598999noreply@blogger.com
