''Look on life as a stage play and you are the lead actor,

as events crop up in your life you may change your 'character' to suit the situation or you can sit with it, this is Freewill in action ... in life and death we have our 'lead role' to play-out but do you want to write your own script or play-out someone else's interpretation of what life should be ...

it's all about Freewill and in knowing

 your Freewill is the motivation for you to be the

 'lead actor'.''

''In being original means you go beyond the

accepted norms.''

''Sculpture, besides it's overall context as to what it is and the making process is a way of life for me that's more devotional than a religious belief.''

''It's when you start to be really afraid of dying that you appreaciate life.''

''You are not in this world to live up

to other peoples expectations ...

life is not about kissing ass.''

Just a thought ...{from the other side of the ego}
''The ego recognizes that we are all subject to self-deception and to a variety of wish-fulling illusions that can pop into the mind at anytime and therefore will use the thought to control the emotions and strengthen the illusion which in turn can take over the mind .... [ I give up ].''

''Is life not what you expected it to be? ...

then you are not the author

 but let today be the day you start to write

your life story from your experience.''

''When you die you will come out the other end completely different as when you came in from the other end.''

''There comes a time and it's in realising you don't need certain people in your life and the bullshit that they bring because it has taken you a long time to become the person you want to be ...
don't give your power away.''

''Like a drip that is slow to drop I move into acceptance day by day for it is what my intuition knows already and for me to open to it that I will realise my potential in being the artist.''

''Creativity is really the 'inner child' in us

being curious about all aspects of life

in all it's forms ... 

a time when work and play can merge

and where you can overcome all your fears

in the flow.''

''If you only knew how rarely people think of you then you would not waste your time in fretting about what other people think of you.''

''A true friend is someone who asks for nothing from you but your friendship and can be your key to sanity in a very insane world but the friend who is the opportunist is the one who can destroy you for life in any kind of world.''

''Each day can bring the chance for you to claim back more of yourself, for we are born not knowing our true self worth.''

''I will tell you the big secret in 

'How to finish what you started' ...

start no other project.''

''Remember to breath ...

it's not the end.''

''Creativity is a head-on-full-blast living as your potential of being human at play.''

''If you want to know bullshit, you are already

knee-deep in it ... just call it fertilizer.''

''You might not see it coming but you will feel it,

a kick in the butt just might be the best thing for you right now.''

''A pessimist will always find

themselves alone ...

WE are going to make it through

this life, even if it kills us.''

''Disturbing is good ...

it's where the truth can be found.''

''There are too many hurts in life and 'love' can be the cause of more than half of all but one way or another everything is connected to 'love' ... it's a matter of learning to live with your emotions.''

''Everyday is more exciting with a twist but don't twist it out of reality that you lose contact with yourself.''

''Everyone should have their freedom to do what is right for themselves as human beings in that way both they and society can only benefit.''

''The more things will change is when people stop getting offended by others ...

I told my therapist about you.''

''A closed mouth tells no lies and an open
mouth talks bullshit ....
half of the problems in this world is because
of people talking shit.''

''No excuses ...

let others know where you stand and you will be the better person for it.
Take time to focus on your own causes.
It will not have any meaning or worth to
 yourself or others if you always look for outside approval or acceptance ...
it's about believing in yourself and going
after your dreams and then you have something to stand for.''

Speaking as an artist;

''The creative person and not all, instead of being an individual is a multitude of personalities while in the process of being creative and when not can be out of 'tune' with everything else around him what most people take as normal or for granted ...

Having said that it's the creative person who will push the boundaries of the mind in order for most people to 'see' a different world or the world as it really is for the visual can have a bigger and instant impact on the senses than the written word where as the readers mind of the written word has to conjure up some image, be it known or unknown to them at that time in their mind when reading to help the word move the senses into play.''

''People that have artistic interests, it is said are also the ones that are most prone to depression, guilt, anxiety, stress, insatiability and loneliness ....

well that just about sums-me up .. I now can call myself a fully fledged artist.''

''Freedom of speech is every human beings birth-right and one voice can make all the difference to the people who are in
sufferance of body and mind ... 

just remember that words cannot be
banned forever or imprisoned.''

''I don't know my true potential that is why I keep trying to my best in all things.''

''Accept change and let your ego go ….

You do this and the world, within your world,

will change.''

''Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of luck, if it did, life would be like a smoothly paved straight and flat road that's going nowhere.''

''We have the capability as in the imagination to see beyond our daily existence and to look into the 'worlds' inside our mind and travel along the 'yellow-brick-road' ...

where we go from there is up to us, 

to bring it into reality .... 

that's creativity.''

''The killing of a human being in any circumstances is a wrong and evil act which does not solve anything for the one who kills is looking at the root of evil where there is no turning back.''

''Bravery and stupidity in all it's forms go
hand in hand in relationships .... 

but it feels better than being loved for what

you are not.''

''Live your life and finish what was started ....

be a hero.''

Speaking as the Artist:
''If there is one word that describes and makes creative people 'different' from other human beings it is the word ... complexity .. well, maybe two words ... paradox.''

''The worst thing you can do to yourself is to believe in ideologies without evidence.'' 

Ideologies; system that derives ideas exclusively from sensation.

Think about this:

''What you might call 'the bad experience', be sure there is a message in it for you, these are probably the most poignant and important ones in your life. If you chose to ignore it then you are not listening to what life has to offer to you, are you ... but that's how you find out who you really are ... by making the decisions that alter your life and this is not the easy part, being strong enough to let go and stand by them  ... nothing happens in life without taking a 'risk' and if you don't take it it is possible you 'risk' even more

'bad experience' ....
You have right now only one life
and only one chance to live it ..
go for it.''

''Everyone needs some kind of 'goal' in life, it helps to keep focused and forward seems good enough to me.''

''You have a choice therefore you can have change it's in your grasp which was given to you when you were born into this energy ... you play it safe and you will never know your true destiny.''

''You are HERE  +  in the NOW.''

''It is said that money doesn't bring happiness, {well it can help you to be miserable in comfort} or that you can't buy everything, {well it does and you can}... this is said by the rich, the churches and governments to fool the poor but when you are poor or old money is everything and is god.''

Question ;  
'' What does it mean to be a 'good  person' ...
   What does it mean to be me ...
   What does it mean to be a 'bad person' ...
   What does it mean when you dream about sex ...             
   What does it mean to be human ...
   What does it mean when your eye twitches ...
   What does it mean when I fart ...
   What does it mean when you are fooled ...
   What does it mean I am going to die ...
   What does it all mean ...
   What does 'it' mean ...''

Answer;  
  ''WHAT ....''

''You want to know what it is to 'feel' human,  then know your emotions ... 
they are the 'better-part' of you in being human.''

''Emotion and Reason .. it's a delicate balance, lose it, and there's no telling what's going to happen.''

 Speaking as an Artist;
''In trying to balance one's life between the cultivation of creativity and that obligatory pursuit of survival, it is no wonder that some artists find themselves perpetually struggling to balance their lives with some sort of tangible sense of stability in their mind.''

''You can only die once in your lifetime and not remember the experience but you can live many times in that lifetime and remember.''

''Right now all you have is this very minute moment in what can be called 'the simplicity of life' and in the very next moment your life will still be unfolding .. but it may not be so simple.''

''You can spit all you like

but you are not going to hit anything

unless you spit against the wind.''

Just a thought;
''It is my opinion that the artist can lay claim to be the oldest profession, it can be dated back to the early cave paintings some 32,000 years ago and so great art in any period of time or in any place in the world was not produced by amateurs.''

''Sometimes people will come into your life and you will know there are suppose to be there, for good or bad ... it happens to help us in our life's journey and also to help them.''

Think about this;

''As human beings we can get into a 'comfort zone' with ourselves and accept beliefs without question because we 'feel' they are right or are told so, but those who follow their freewill will go where no one has gone before.''

''My life is just the ART for ART imitates LIFE ...
without ART the reality of this world
we live in would be unbearable.''

''I now believe that since there is freedom to move around Europe, that is, no border control, identification to nationality is now more important than ever before but the mind can cross any man-made borders.''

''Believe in yourself because if you don't it will be hard for others to believe in you but generally human beings are insecure and insincere in themselves and to others that they take on different personalities to suit the situation that at the end of the day it comes down to the only one you can trust ...
yourself.''

Think about this;
''Things happen and will happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, and then the 'why-me' cries out from within you but when you think about it later ... and you will, you will find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realised your full potential for survival, your true willpower and strength for getting through it all ... it's all part of your journey.''

''Today is my

Birth-day

but it can also be my

Death-day

I take nothing for granted

for no matter what comes,
it is still

My-day

as is

  Every-day.''

''If you are jumping all over the place in your mind the chances are something creatively is coming through.''

''Like it or not, thoughts become words that become actions ... so choose the right thoughts that become the right words and the actions is your karma.''

''If you are fortunate enough to live in a part of the world that you can put your freewill into pratice ... then you are lucky, remember nobody can take your freewill away from you except yourself ... you have choice therefore you have change.''

''The people you meet will affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become and this can all happen and you may never be aware of it.''

''Cut the bullshit and make every day count,

you may never be able to experience any of it again.''

''It is better to die poor

having lived a rich life

than die rich

having lived a poor life.''

 

''Create your own life-plan and 
BE YOURSELF
and then go out and live it with absolutely
  NO REGRETS.''

''Explore nature,

there are surprises everywhere

and watch out for naked women on

motor bikes.''

 
"Thought is the product of the Mind and Mind is creative and to look without reflecting is like eating without digesting.''

Just a thought on death and the 'art' of dying ...

     ''Every one knows that someday they will die but yet don't want to know anything about it let alone talk about death or dying ... but just say we did know the time and circumstances I would feel most people would change and do it all different ... but what's the point, every action and thought you have is what you are, you are just going through the motions of daily living and survival, just another animal with a bigger brain and most of the time without a thought as to why we live and die, but we do not know what happens to us when we die .. I think it's safe to say that we may be longer dead than the time we had spent in living, I think that's more 'scary' than the fear of death ... but has any human being, including all the so-called 'holy one's' come back to this energy and told us what is waiting for us when we do die ... I don't think so ... so give as much thought to dying as you do to living in that way you will have a balance to your reason for being Human and nothing else but at the same time not to worry about death that all the joy in living is gone. The one thing we can be certain of, ... that death will have a smile for us all but we also can have a smile for death and that's because we will have lived in the knowing that we die .. it will just be another door that opens to you in this life .... but this is one door that opens for you automatically and with a 'push' from behind to enter, think of it as 'bungy jumping' without a life-line and on the other hand there are those who will jump before they get the 'push'.''

My quote for the 4th of July ....

''If you believe in freewill and you believe in change and you trust your intuition then you fight for it.''

''When you both realise that you are incapable of living apart but are living together then you can call that love.''

''Never make a life time commitment on  temporary feelings .. they will pass soon.''

''I ask myself where have I gone wrong in life and a voice in my head said to me ... you better sit down this is going to take some time to tell you.''

''From what I can see, everyone seems to need some kind of' 'belief ' to feel part of something and not to be an 'outsider' otherwise they feel lost like children without their comfort toy. It is best to question than to accept it from others and if you do you might just feel alive in yourself and the better for it.''

''Looking for a better deal in life,

then get real and be yourself ....

birds fly by flapping their wings.''

''In order to have reconstruction in any meaning of the sense there must be a deconstruction ... 
 life's reconstruction is death's deconstruction
is life's reconstruction.''

''Man and his beliefs will be the death of him and his freewill.''

''A rich man with all his money can live in the fear of losing it, a man with his knowledge can also live in fear of losing it but a man with Wisdom knows no fear.''

''If the door does not open at the first attempt it does not mean you cannot go in, you just need to have the right key.''

''To go on the road less traveled can only mean you live your life by your freewill but it can also be a rocky road through deep darkness and uncharted wilderness ... be prepared to be hi-jacked by the mind for the road is not the same for two people.''

''You stay with fools you become The Fool.''

Think about this;
''Regardless of the colour of your skin, political or religious beliefs we as Human Beings have one thing we all have in common and that is our destinies are going in the same direction ...
we are all going to die,
we don't know when,
we don't know how,
we don't know where and,
we don't know the time or the place ...
so live your life as if you believe in 'MAGIC'.''

''If you follow the majority you will always be led and you yourself will never lead.''

''In growing old it is said that you become wiser, that maybe true for some but others die before they 'wise-up' in how to put their wisdom into practice.''

''Art is the means
where by we can pursue our own

self-realization that can open up the world
into your world that then becomes
every body's world and helps us to realise
as human beings we are not so independent
in our thoughts, desires and fears.'' 

''Today is a good day,

I think ...

 Yesterday was a good day,

I feel ...

 And tomorrow will be a good day,

I hope.''

''Do not let the world make you angry

or the pain make you bitter

if it's not what you thought it would be like,

be calm, it's just the way it should be.''

''Each day can bring the chance for you to claim back more of yourself, for we are born not knowing our true self worth.''

''Some people become a legend in their own mind, I would be happy to become a legend in my own time.''

''When your life is over it never really began because you were too busy trying hard.''

''One of the best reasons for being Human is to be creative in all ways possible.''

''Don't be afraid to talk about anything that takes your interest because everyone is an expert when it comes around to their say.''

Just a thought ...

''There is no running away from the 'fact' that

in our life time we will have to accept the consequence's

for every thought we have and every action we do, {Karma}

but don't let that stop you, life is too short, besides,

the 'fact' is the 'Lesson'.''

Think about this ...
''Buy what you cannot afford now because if you have to sell it in the future you could make a profit in your speculation from the past, these same words apply throughout everything in your life ... it's all to do with trusting in your instinct ... in that way the 'universe energy' will offer you more opportunities.''

 Think about this;
''There is enough religion in the world for men to hate and kill each other for their beliefs but there is not enough religion in the world for men to live in harmony with each other.''

''There is another part of me {and you} that is creative ...
it's called 'Freedom of Speech'.''

''A fool can give advice to a wise man but a wise man can keep his mouth shout.''

Think about this ....

Don't be afraid to talk about anything we are all entitled to our opinions right or wrong, but you will find that if you do not give your opinion you will never find yourself as having a contribution in life ... in other words, it's called 'Freedom of Speech'.

                                  ''We are

what are thoughts are

and therefore we alone are

our own keeper.''

''Everyone is a unique Human Being therefore I feel if you were to question everything you will become more of your own person and your uniqueness will shine through.''

''I do not want to be led by others .... I would sooner stand on my own two feet than my head and see the world upside down.''

''You are where you are

because of your thoughts

and you are going to where you will be

because of your thoughts 

and when you are there .. 

it's because of your thoughts.''

''To live my life as an Artist

I have to drop any fear in all aspects of my life

and trust in my creativity,

in that way

I am getting through life

on a

self discovery trip.''

''I can tell you something about creativity ...

you stumble your way through and when you fall

from that 'high' it's like grieving

but you have to get back

otherwise you might as well lie down and die.''

''Love is that other four letter word

that is said so often without thought

but it's that feeling in yourself

that makes it an emotion

that can give the sense of being 'real'.''

''There is no quick way 

for life is a journey of self discovery,

but then if you are 'lucky' enough to find purpose,

the chances are you will die

and not having enough time for your 'purpose' ..

'what is my reason for being'.''

''If you do not have enough time in your life to do the things you really want to do then maybe try stop watching T.V.''

''All human beings should be respected as individuals and no one be idealized.''

''If it's religion you are looking for

then it's better to be found than taught.''

{Latin}

''Si religio quaeriti tum
commodo quam invenire docuit.''

                                
                                                {Irish}

''Má tá sé creideamh atá á lorg agat

sin tá sé níos fearr le fáil ná mar a mhúineadh.''

 

''Just because

'I am here'

does not justify for

'I am here' 

it's a matter of being in awareness

'I am here'.''

''For the one who tells you

''smell the roses''

is a romantic,

for the one who tells you

''smell the thorns''

drop your Ego big time and in real time

pick it up again.''

hold a grudge against him or her

and you will soon find your energy slipping away.''

''The life span of a Human Being is very short but Art, given the chance,

can survive into eternity.''

''Man should never stand in need of man when it comes to freewill.''

''You don't need me to tell you this,

that life has it's 'ups and downs'

but if you don't take a risk now and then

'life' will assume that you are content in your ways

therefore opportunities will pass you by

and you yourself will not recognise the 'signs'

that are given to you.''

''Life is such ---- smell the thorns.''


''All powerful in theory but only too fragile
in reality ... mankind.''

''Generally, people who find themselves
on their own at any time in the day
or in their life time fear the silence,
but it is in the silence you get to
know your self.''

''The Ego recognizes that we are all subject to self-deception and to a variety of wish-fulling illusions

that can pop into the mind at anytime

and therefore will use the thought to control the emotions

and strengthen the illusion which in turn can take over the mind ...

or something like that.''

''Treat everybody with suspicion and treat everybody has some kind of motivation

then you won't be too disappointed in going through life.''

''People who do not inspire you to reach for your dreams ..

then it's time to make some tough decisions

and move on with your life.''

''I would regard myself eccentric and others would call me arrogant but if I had money to go with my eccentricities then they would just say I am eccentric.''

''Most people unknown to themselves have some kind of fear,

if they can bring themselves to face that fear

they will never be afraid again ...

at least not in the same way as before.''

''Believe me I am just as surprised when I get it right.''

''Behind every successful person is the fear of failure.''

''To the criminal honesty seems foolish.''

''I find that in the world we live in today people are insincere with their words and promises ... does 'making a promise' or 'giving your word' not mean anything anymore.''

''Anger that is held on to for years is only felt by the person who is angry.''

''Some Artists are able to move between the many worlds of the mind but when we surrender ourselves to the imagination we then need signposts to find our way back, in my own case I would like to think I make detoured excursions in the hope a better work will come back with me.''

''If you want to change yourself you change what you do and then you change how you think.''

They say;  It's best to go through life with an open mind

but ...

''not so open that your brain falls out.''

Just a thought ........
 ''Why is it that people turn their heads even when the evidence is shouting out to them that the times we are living in is moving so fast that we can be left behind and feel cut off from 'progress' in all that is happening and on 'offer' in today's world. What is happening today was once a dream in other men's minds ... and it's too flippened to pass it off and to say 'such is life', but so called 'progress' will move us on in many ways that now more than ever Human Beings within their own stability of mind have to build more 'walls' to stop insecurity creeping in and as in everything Time will tell if we can cope with our own 'zest' for progress . We cannot predict the future but we can and do invent it for mankind will keep moving forward in spite of his so called fears of the outcome and it will be all passed off as 'how we use it'.''

Just a thought .......
If you accept the status quo in life how do you expect to find self worth ...
but the people who 'feel' they have all they need out of life are quite content in their status quo for them life is a Do-Not-Rock-The-Boat situation ...
Status Quo to me is an English boogie rock band formed in the early 1960's and still on the go in 2010 ...... I accept that 'status quo' .. ''Rocking-All-Over-The-World''.

''Having

a creative mind

saves you from boredom but

you pay the price

in that everything else is boring''.

''When you start thinking of the future you are already in it, better to slow down and know the present ...... why rush''.

''In the making of

my Art

I will strive for some kind of

perfection in the work and emotion

to rise in the viewer but it will be on

my own terms to myself

as to how much I can give

of myself to my Art ...

but I am getting there.''

''I was born
'innocent'

'innocents'.''

''To be yourself ...

just realise

nobody can be better

than you

at it.''

''To apologize could also mean that you value your relationship and not your Ego.''

''Art without emotion

is like working in the dark

trying to make art

with emotion.''

 I speak for myself ;
 ''As an Artist I 'find myself ' in the process of creativity ..... it is better than any physiologist's couch.''

Think about this ;
                          ''Like what the internal combustion engine did for the horse-drawn carriage ... well then ... picture this ....
Computers using their vast intellectual capacity to think on their own, to 'problem solve' for humans in ways we cannot apprehend today, {but we have a 'good' idea as to how it all develops in the future}, there is no doubt in my mind that this will dictate how future generations will evolve as Human Beings. Humanity as we know it and computers as we have designed them are 'hand in hand' and never to be separated ...... till death do us apart ...... and it all may very will. We are creating our own extinction in more ways than we realise and must built-in safety measures for those who will have to live with our 'doings'. It's all very well problem solving for today but it also has to be problem solved for the future ..... 
It's 'good' to learn from past mistakes and 'good' to look towards the future but we also must look 'inside' ourselves.''

'' If you want
