Seeking Within…

 

“There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.”
― Hermann Hesse

 

We read and we study. We analyze with critical thought anything that comes our way. We seek perfect understanding yet all too often we avoid the self-work that may bring it closer. It feels like we circle the outer rim of ourselves while the centre remains many layers down. What can bring us inside? Oh exposure to new ideas is fantastic, don’t get me wrong. I love new paradigms and new ways of looking at things. Yet who is doing the looking? Is what we are exposing ourselves to bringing us closer to our truest self or leading us in circles. Perhaps we can take what we have learned and journey inward with it, adding awareness to our knowledge and knowledge to our awareness.
Blessings, G

  1. This is a captivating piece of art. I love the spirals as I spiral down. I love the colors that blend into each other. I have never tried to paint, but I have always enjoyed art, especially when it causes me to stop and “see.” Your work is unique and very thought-provoking.

    1. Thank you John. Overseer was an interesting one to do tas it was a bit tricky to get exactly the effect I was aiming for….
