9:08How selfish to just be a consumer and consume things—Things other people created. How about you create something and add to society? With art, the problem is that it might not add to society (yet). There’s so much art, and we only need divinity. Divine art adds to society and enlivens life. Dull art is waste. But dull art brings the artist closer t…

You capture who you are, your state of being, in an object. You impregnate it with your intention. The highest intention is no intention (alignment with life). What stands behind your art sh…

At any moment, I am X number of actions away from my goal. I don’t need to see all the actions ahead of me; I jump from pebble to pebble. That’s enough clarity. In the way of free action is my accumulated past (my identity) that disturbs me. As I take action, I dissolve myself. I am in my way, and my real work is the death of me, a birth cloaked as…

Every master works with that intensity, that involvement—shutting out the world and projecting forth their soul’s expression in free-roaming intimacy. In the first ten minutes, I just stare at the page or write lines that lack magic. But little by little, something clicks, and I fall into a spell that tastes like the first sip of coffee in the morn…
