The Art of Life: Thought Creates Form

By Regan Keely transformingthedarkness.com

Conscious Experience is an Art Life is a multi-dimensional, everexpanding piece of grand art for humans, the gifted artists, to create in any fashion they freely choose. We are maestros of the symphony that is our personal experience; our thoughts and feelings are our conductor’s batons.

So far in this work of art we seem to be toddlers, not entirely sure what or how to create but creating nonetheless. It isn’t uncommon these days for man to feel unhappy with the portrait he has drawn for himself, as he wonders why it hasn’t turned out the way he would prefer.

Metaphorically speaking, man wants lush beaches, warm sunshine, peaceful meadows, majestic mountains and yet he is haunted by empty fields, burning cities, hopeless wastelands. Ultimately though it is his choice what ideas he decides to occupy his mind with. However, if he can’t believe in his ability to build a stable home, he will, much to his frustration, continuously create dilapidated houses. In many cases of strife in his art, man believes that, though he is deciding to make misery, he is choosing to do so on the basis of what has been argued to be ‘realistic’ by his culture. It is believed in modern society that we must be ‘realistic’ in our art, or else we may be laughed at for our creation. Hence, if he is really ‘lost in the sauce’, he won’t even realize that his creation is his choice at all.

More often than not, man actually fails to realize that he is entirely creating his piece of art. He’s been told since childhood that it is the priests, the governments, the academic authorities, the unseen forces that must make the decisive arrangements and choices for him. And indeed, if so allowed, they surely will. Understandably he believes his art is the gloomy mural that was involuntarily bestowed to him as his fate, and he must always look upon it thusly and perpetuate it as those around him do. He doesn’t believe in his power to create his life and so has forfeited his circumstances to whatever his environment and its influences dictate. He becomes an unwitting victim of his own creation, and since he created it, it is completely true to him. He defends it closely, no matter how much pain it may bring him. After all, it is his creation. Contrary to his dogmas, he is completely free to change his own creation at any time. He may transform the barren field into an orchard of great fruits. He may re-tune the empty static into a rich melody. He may even entirely scrap the old story and begin a new chapter by his own will. With an intentional flick of the pen, he could plot-twist his tragedy into a heroic adventure, a love story, a comedy, a rich and colorful new scene of deep exploration.

Still something keeps him… he has endured his hell for so long that its familiarity brings him a strange comfort in his despair. His bitterness towards life has seduced him. Perhaps it is the anxiety of the unknown, the judgement of his peers, the fear of his own power, his addiction to doubt, the ever-present sense of unease that follows relentlessly, or other strangeness the human ego so intimately engenders.

Based on the reasoning of his own illusions, he refutes the idea that he created any of this himself, or that any of his art, which he can’t stop desperately staring at, is his responsibility at all. He is in a paradox. Why would he choose to create songs of intolerable dissonance? In his mind he is convinced that it is Please see ART OF LIFE, page 5 Paintings by Autumn Skye: www.autumnskyeart.com
