The Great artist's canvas

Last night I watched a movie called The Quantum Activist by Amit Goswami. I had seen him once before on 'What the bleep'. During the movie, I took many notes, and so wish to explore my thinking on where I am now currently at.

Life as we know it, is like a great canvas. We are the painters, but we are not yet the artist. This then is our journey...to become great artists. In our original form, we are 'The Great Artist', in fact we are also the canvas. We are the subject we wish to paint, to express ourselves as love, and paint today's definition of ourselves. In order to experience the art first hand we must view from a different perspective. Thus any of our art to be 'livingly' experienced, we must move from a stance of originating expression (position as the originator), to a perspective that is in the same place as the expression itself. Thus we 'take on' or view from another perspective being that of another piece of self expressed art. In doing so, I may experience what the expression is like as a 'whole' - a tangible image of myself as the originator. Thus I attempt to explore myself, via my own art. Compare this to exploring the same art from my perspective as originator, then I am only exploring a single individual idea in an infinite number, and in a detached way. By "becoming the art", the experience is all consuming, thus I am able to fully explore the wholeness of this experience, as I am submersed fully in it. The issues arise, because I take on the persona of the art form I use as a vehicle to explore other aspects of my work/art. This creates it's own challenge, that of detaching myself from the limitations that are found by perceiving I am only one art form. From within mind space of this singular expression, I am like a painter with heavy thick gloves on. I paint for I feel the affinity to my true nature, but I am no artist at all. It is only on the occasion that I withdraw myself from this point of limitation, often down through correct meditation, deliberately or inadvertently, that I once again hold position as creative consciousness, unbound by the constricting limitations that are found in the various states of expression, as they leave my point of origin. Each tier the expression passes through, the smaller the mind space it is contained in, by simple mathematics of involution. By the time I transpire to explore one piece of art I have expressed as a perspective of how I see myself as 'Love Being', on the physical plane, such as the taste of a perfectly ripe organic nectarine, the mind space is so minute, that it is barely able to comprehend it's own limited ability to experience, let alone paint itself. Yet it tries continuously. It tries so much, it absorbs virtually all of it's conscious time attempting to imitate the artist who created it. Because, I am there...it can feel that sense of potential to create. But hapless is it to do so, in its state as a piece of art itself. Hapless am I to create, from within the boundaries of a mind that I have adopted with fervour to be my own, and thus concurred to come under the perceptions of limitation it experiences. Thus the journey is there for one and all to 'awaken'. To go through a stage of withdrawal from within a singular piece of art, and make my way back to the realisation I am the original artist. But most important I feel, is to understand my original intention. It was to explore the very art I have expressed as perceived descriptions of my own true nature. Be it then not left undone, to complete the task beset the journey that I originally took, and delve deeply into the taste of that organic Nectarine with all manner of indulgence without thought of mind. For within this focused state of exploration I will know myself and the creative juices that are appreciation will flow, and thus evolution of all tiers will occur. For evolution of art as an expression of who I am, comes sourced from the fountain that we call appreciation. In conclusion, I need to balance myself, between my thirst to awaken the artist I am (with intention to create more expressions of myself) with the thirst to explore the art I have already created, and have before me, in the place I currently hold as observer.
