The Art of Art

Art, art, art...  

We (The collective; of our societal thoughts and structures) consider art is to be an eccentric craft, someone who chose their creative self, over the security of conventionality. We view art as a hobby, not a trajectory.  Or, how about you ask yourself, in a soft and gentle tone, what is art to you? How do you view the word itself? And what thoughts come to you, when you see an artist or the artist’s work...? 

If we are all energy, we are all spirit. If we are all spirit, despite the disbelief of thought, then by nature, we are all creators. Daily, look at how much creation there is in life, spurring from something. To realize that, is art. Art is the mystique of life.   

We cook, we build, we sing, we dance, we always scheme something out of something – Even in how we resist, we can be creative, in all sorts of things, there’s creation – whether you’re aware of it or not.  

The word Art roots in meaning “Are”:   

You ARE, I AM,  We ARE, us, we are all beings – the art of art, is being. Recognizing, realizing that core – the core of creation. You are that energy, not the analytical history of what the energy has gone through – that's the difference in how you view the SELF/You. 

Art requires authenticity and allowing, which means surrendering to that innate maestro within, the artist within is like a child, that wants to play without dismay. Without seriousness, without expectation. Art galvanizes spontaneity, the way life spurs itself out of itself, the same thing applies to the mind, it can mind itself of itself, by itself, and that’s what spontaneity is all about and that’s how art becomes a flow. 

The art of art is being yourself, in whatever you do – that's your truthfulness sublimed.  

We deviate out of fear, out of feeling what we don’t know, so that’s why we comply. Our thoughts, out of its cyclical and changing nature, interfere to stop spontaneity and “keep it together and known” Neglecting, is passivity, passivity is being nullified from art. 

Why the world needs art, authenticity, than compliance.....? 

Art is not names and labels - art is striking that thought, without thinking about it, to revert back to the condition that holds the underlying thought. Art needs washing yourself of yourself  – draining your brain out of the frequency that is static, into a frequency that is exposed  - expose, to grow the strength of frequency, of transmission. The mind shaken out of its habitual abode, becomes spontaneous and to embrace spontaneity, then you have to oppose the hammer of intellect, that keeps the unforced mind at bay.  

If you don’t remove the blanket, open the closet, remove that boulder (which are all statements meaning to reveal), then how can you know who you are? 

Art doesn’t look at achievement and success – it looks at your life’s work and your being – It’s our collective mindset, that is burdened with the need for results and achievements, that antagonizes the marvel of art. How much do we “hide and comply” to achieve? 

Art looks at how truthful you are to yourself: 

A writer is an artist  

An athlete is , and and and, a baker is an artist  

 A janitor, a plumber, anything – any role that you truly realize is art. For don’t you agree that you’re the best at what you do? There comes the art of art-ing, playing, not caring about the results, as much. As long as you give your all, to what you believe in, you deserve your own respect. 

Mastery is limitation – not to look at it from belittling, but from the angle of if you limit your thinking and future projections, rooting, in your body, you will find artful wonders.  

Art is disregarded, as it’s not problem solving or a money-achieveing function in a “career”... And it channels into all aspects of life...We come back to the basic things in life, when money is mistaken as an entity of growth, then the attachment to this concept lures you away from all the artistry of life.  

How do you see life, how do you view the Definition of life?  Life is bodily, not theoretically.  Life is a cosmic game of remembering. You get lost to be found, forget to remember, forgive to live. 

Ask yourself, if you believe that you are, would you let it all go and start again? For if you are truly, an artist, you can always make a-new. If you are just thinking about it, then your thoughts will always protect you from surrendering, because that’s the end of the line for those thoughts. 

Ask yourself, if it’s not about the money, what is it about for you? In all things the you invest your energy in? Why are you in, whatever you’re doing? 

Do you see energy holding on to itself – read that again AND now, think about what flow means.. Surrendering and then doing, doing and then surrendering... So, goes, life. 

The artist doesn’t fear failures, we fear to fail, as we don’t want to start again. The artist doesn’t fear repeating and rewinding, as he and she knows, it’s not the result that defines their work, it’s their energy that shapes the work, and energy is always repeating – see that for that it is, when you align with energy, you have so much more capacity, than the underlying shadow that blocks it.  

Now, that you know, would you try...? 

The episode must end, for the show to go on – this is life. But, we want to star only in that episode, and that’s how we get stuck. 

The artist has his own and only being to squeeze the art from, remember, art is the are of who you are, that’s the only reality – who you are is your art. Your art is your being, and what’s your being belongs to your energy – and beyond all of that, is the one; the one of many and the many of one – the seed of the universe, sprouted into endless and infinite possibilities – your roads are an endless plethoras of future paths for ya... 

Before drawing the curtains: art requires us to drop the notion of time, to  not rush through the process, to restlessly reach the target - as there’s always unfinished business, to weave into the other canvas, page, studio somewhere else... Allow time to be time – in its own objective manner. The most important deadline, is the one you set yourself 

Meditation, like art, is powered by observance and mindless focus – present with all that is happening, all that is. It's the marriage to the heart, where your heart flows, your life goes. Let the hearth of your heart transform your.... (Fill in your own)... Candor and clarity require a great deal of courage. Be courageous. Be bold. Be your own artist.   

From my heart to yours,

Peace in and Peace out.
