Life

 

In the beginning there was a universe (let's called it Fred), I doubt it was conscious, and where it came from is anybody's guess, we can worry about that one later. Then there was a split, self and other, the split became several, one thing led to another and soon enough we were all in the pickle we're in today. The universe is dreaming, and what it's dreaming is us. What this means is that all rules are off.

Magic is real, science is just another religeon and if you can time it just right, reality is open for your perusal.

Whilst all that is going on, we have society around us providing great pressure on us to believe things are a certain way, and that certain truths are self evident. Don't believe it !

So I find myself in world where nothing has the level of reality I was taught it had as a child. So from now on I'm making it up as I go along. If reality is mutable according to belief, and looking behind the veil of illusion simply finds what one was looking for, then nothing is the inherent state, if I'm not there to observe it. Since I am here observing it I must be able to alter my perspective (and therefor my reality ) within the social structure. Since I am (attempting) to be an artist, I will use this medium as sculptural space, creating behavioural traits based on an easthetic rather than any dictates of logic. Honour and compassion, being beautiful in my eyes, form a basis, with hints of intelligence and wisdom sprinkled lightly about. To me it seems true that, were I to create a decent form within this space, it would parallel itself into the social world as an adept human, able to respond to the people around me which is also part of my desire to co-exist well with my co-humans.

Unfortunately, this whole plan revolves around my ability to change my perspective, something I can't say I'm having so much success with. Ah well, maybe I'll get it right someday, please bear with me :)
