We spend our lives in two different worlds, cycling back and
forth between waking and dreaming.
Which is the true, the beautiful, the higher world? Strangely, there are some who prefer
the reality of dream life to the reality of waking life.
Anyway you look at it, dreaming is a paranormal event, a nightly miracle of creativity. Oops! Here I am in dream space flirting
with a nymph by a waterfall.
How did I get here ?
How you get from physical space to dream space is a total
mystery.
I believe that the dreaming part of us keeps on dreaming
even after we wake, just as our memories live on in the subconscious.
Question: What is your dream self doing right now?
Our greater mental life takes place below the threshold of
awareness. We’re afloat in a sea but trapped in a little iron submarine. How to cut loose and explore the sea of
the psyche?
Painting for me is one way to explore the dream space we
normally get to through sleep. How is
that possible? By letting the painting paint itself. Place the brush in the hand of your subliminal
mind. Something wants to reveal itself. It needs you to be its voice. Obey the
impulse, never check yourself once you begin, and don’t be afraid to fail.
Spontaneity is key. No resistance; no boundaries.
From the prehistoric cave-painters to Kandinsky and Marc
Chagall, art has been about contact with magic, dream, the symbols and secrets
of the Great Mind.
