Is it possible at all be beyond the times that
our physical existence is embedded within? Is it possible to overcome
«con-temporary» conditioning?
We very often complain about the times we live
in, about the limitations and pressures imposed on us by the society. We argue
that we are the product of our time. It's hard to be otherwise, isn't it?
Because it is easier not to take responsibility, it is easier to be comfortably
embraced by beliefs and structures rather than rip them apart, and stay exposed
to the direct light of the cold eternal shining where every step is the step
into the unknown.
I started writing this because of someone's
post that resonated with me: «It is sad
to be an artist in the world of Degeneration”. (I guess as
opposed to Renaissance). It really is not
just sad but also not easy. When you start - you are alone and there are no reference points or guidelines outside you,
when you finish you are still alone, and there are maybe some reference points.
But if there are no reference points inside you, this is all lost forever. So
the only true way to be with the time, in the present tense, - is to look for these reference points inside the timeless zone, where
local time is of less importance or insignificant at all.
If we unconsciously attach ourselves to the
time we are living in we are lost. It will devour us, leaving no trace of our
precious existence. We do not choose
time to be born (though this can be argued, because we might just not remember
this choice). I am not suggesting dis-attaching from present reality, but rather
allowing yourself to take control of it, through surrender to the perspective
living beyond time. Only then the present can be consciously integrated into the
work you do on an entirely different level.
