There are times when I am working on my art that echoes of past events or visions of future potential materialise and merge with whatever I am creating (directly or indirectly) in the moment. That mammoth tool of the unconscious mind is adept at reaching way beyond the confines of the intimate now reality I am in and if I am lucky delivers a healthy portion of inspiration or sometimes delivers a teaser trailer of what could be as it draws the cosmic curtain to one side. I know this when one spoken word snaps my psyche into focus or a single simple image gives me a sense of infinite depth and possibility. Powerful stuff! You can fast track the opening of the cosmic curtain with say psychedelics but these days I am more inclined to walk in nature and as much as possible walk barefoot, a variastion of meditation. The older I get the more spiritually, physically and mentally liberated I am more inclined to be. Equally the easier it gets to find the opening in the cosmic curtain.
