Nothing that comes of your/our mind is real.
We objectify everything that is totally subjective to begin with.
Even the objects we perceive is only “real” to us because
of our 5 sensors and processed by our brain to say it is an object.
Just some electrical activity and processing in the brain.

As in art – we again go from an idea (subjective, not real, invisible) then
process it in a 100 ways and finally manifest it into a painting.
The object that we create called a painting is no different from how a city
is created – from the unreal to the object.
So even a city is made from a lie.

Our personalities are made from a lie. We see we experience, we think, we process, then decide how it is turned out and the conclusion is incorporated into personality. It could have turned out like in a 100 ways,

So we think we built the best thing for us to live in – the city – but really it was just
a foolish idea that made it. So does the city reflect the mind of man, like a painting
the mind of an artist?

So if anything that starts from the mind is unreal – then what is real?

Was nature created by mind of man. That tree outside your window – did mind create that tree.  That tree always was. The Truth exists in things that were always true – that did not come out of the mind of man.

I experienced this because i am a painter. I paint blindly with my mindbodysoul. I place value in chance and spontaneity to show me what is real, because the thinking mind is not present in these things. Or a mistake has an element of Truth in it, because it was not intended – i did not think myself into it.  It just happens. But when a painting comes to an end there is something natural that comes to an end – always.  I experience it every time.  There is something true in the lie in me.

There is something of that tree in me – that is always true. So I live by way of the subjective lie putting out work out there that has been processed and manipulated. Made up like society is made up by the mind. Let my mind be conditioned by the rules of the system that has been created by a mind like mine to live in.

That unreal structure has rules you need to follow because the mind that made it says so.

2 operating systems running in parallel, simultaneously: society (living space created by mind) and nature.

There is something unreal about what the artist does. something insignificant. An object. The painting. An illusion of the mind. Nothing of the Truth in it? Perhaps.

But the process itself of making art, when it is wired up to the spirit – can help you experience everything that is true in what you do. It can help you find the pattern and experience the universe in you.

To the viewer – can you get this from a painting? Or is it just a lie to you?

An Aboriginal Song,

Tree……….
He watching you,
You look at tree,
He listen to you,
He got no finger,
He can’t speak,
But that leaf……,
He pumping, growing,
Growing in the night,
While you sleeping,
You dream something,
Tree and grass same thing,
They grow with your body,
with your feeling.

It can be same with people when with them you experience the Truth in the lie of things. This was the case with the painter John Hoyland.  There was something of the natural in his presence and his paintings.  There was something natural in his “thinking” mind.
