If I believe in anything, it is the freedom of the soul; life is probably not meant to be lived in submission. That's what art means to me. Existence is here and now. I don't care where I am in the universe or time, whether the earth is flat, round or oval. I can fill my head endlessly with confusion and unnecessary things, but it would take too much energy and focus away from the essential, to evolve instead.
Philosophy connects time, space and mind. I wasn't born equipped with all the answers regarding life's purpose and how to navigate it.
However, as a child, I harbored dreams – a natural instinct. The dreams serve as potent driving forces, guiding towards self-realization. Just as stars emerged and the universe unfolded, striving to realize itself amidst adversity, so too do the dreams urge the mind forward. I embarked on a journey of patience, recognizing it as the gateway to the dreams – a door notoriously difficult to unlock.
Life experiences shape and refine the dreams, directing towards their fulfillment.
Birthing a dream is akin to a profound transformation, challenging yet ultimately rewarding. The universe and life present formidable obstacles for a reason. Some aspects of existence must be lived to be truly understood; experience begets wisdom. I am here to experience the present moment. There's a time for everything; death awaits us all, offering its own revelations. My time spent among the living is but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme. Understanding the nuances of existence requires patience and reflection.
My journey has led me through incredible spiritual explorations but I didn't get any concrete answers.
I refrain from categorizing myself as spiritual or religious, despite my experiences. It's not a denial of my humanity; rather, it's a conscious choice to prioritize living fully in the present moment, fostering creativity and growth. Faith alone will not develop me, I have to do the job myself. That's why I was given gifts throughout life like a brain to use and a soul to develop.
