As I progress further and further into the psychic phenomena and the findings change accordingly, the objective world along its myriad horrors remains the same - but when the subjective view of these horrors alters, the mediation also has to change in order to remain authentic. In the earlier post I discussed the difficulty of this process, the uncertainty of remaining in the path of authenticity whilst juggling the ever-changing mental currents and changes in technical skill. When one gets more grounding in skill and firmer grasp of the mental currents, the landscape has already changed, the subjective mind elusively slipped further into uncharted territories, suddenly, without warning - and then, once again, the author finds himself on unknown waters. Such is the interplay between the subjective investigation and conveying its discoveries onto the objective world - difficult, frustrating; ever uncertain. Nevertheless, progress is being made, even if slowly, and at times into erroneous directions.
Not long ago I thought attempting a new approach for this problem: taking something of the outside and consciously creating my own illustrative impression for it. Collaboration has never been of much interest to me due to the exceedingly esoteric nature of my own subjective search. However, perhaps new angles can be found by occasionally switching the focus onto something else entirely - a search for subjectively resonating images or words, purposefully avoiding mediating one's own subjectivity just for a moment, just to see whether the act of reflecting would bring forth something unexpected... and perhaps useful later on. And even if not, at least making artwork for others acts as good practise; previously unattempted themes forcing the pen & words towards hitherto uncharted territories. Reflections eventually reflecting back.
