"Art is the clothing of a revelation"

Often, this is a notion tossed around and disregarded and used simply as nothing more than gateway to explanation of the misunderstood. It should not be so. Revelation is a selfish act, a certain inexplicable conscious realization of the esoteric plane, internalized and then manifested into a productivity of measurable change. Art is, can or should, this clothing of ones measurable change and to explain it is to lose the very grasp of its meaning, as it is altered through different eyes.

“Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life”

The clothing of such revelations does not come from standstill motion in life, nor the revelations themselves. They are realized only in the participation of ones surroundings, be they known or unknown. Without a thrust outward, there is no inward reaction. Only through change can one see the past clearly. Hindsight is not 20/20...it is the remnants of death and the rebirth of hope.


“This is an essential experience of any mystical realization. You die to your flesh and are born to your spirit. You identify yourself with the consciousness and life of which your body is but the vehicle. You die to the vehicle and become identified in your consciousness with that of which the vehicle is the carrier. And that is the God.”

To embrace life is not to embrace others, but to embrace ones self. It is not life to repeat another’s words, but to create your own as change by such words previous. There is nothing past, present or beyond, which you do not create for yourself- no matter its reflection on the conscious plane or its embodied soul in the subconscious-- that which you do not embrace, does not become real, does not permit change, does not create a revelation- does not create art. Those that seek to have you explain your art- do not embrace their own.

create your own - this is mantra
