Creating for the sake of creation itself

About a year ago I started making collages out of words from newspapers, which turn into a sentence. I don’t follow a plan, I make them very quick and then I paint, which I’m terrible at. But nevertheless I do it, using all from acrylic paint to crayons, marker pens and loads of glitter glue.

I even got myself an Insta account for them, with like 11 followers. But neither how many followers there are, nor how it looks is the point for me.

Simply doing

The point is, on the contrary from my other forms of expression, film making, singing, dancing, performance, storytelling and writing poetry, these collages are something I do without any type of feeling of having to create something with high quality. In the other fields, I have experience and kinda feel some pressure that it has to be good. With the collages, I don’t feel this at all. I just make them.

Since I started making them, I really notice that my mood is even better than before (I’m generally a pretty happy person, but this is deeper). I also experience a greater flow in life, as well as in other creative endeavors. So grateful!

And I learned to value the process of simply doing, creating, being in the moment so much more than before. Furthermore, my subconscious is communicating with me on a whole new level. Great life lesson!

All of society must get some loving again
We lack the cohesion which fosters a safer neighborhood,
free from violence against women

I believe in magic but remain skeptical towards the Law of Attraction

With magic, belief, focus and dedication you can influence your surroundings to a large extent. I have experienced this many times and do not question that at all. The vibe that we carry and our capacity of being real, compassionate, staying true to our goals and surrender to love equally has an effect on how we perceive reality as well as interact with it. Of course it also generates reactions, and there is such a thing as cause and effect.

What I don’t like about it

With all that said, in my experience, there are some fatal flaws in several of the presentations of the Law of Attraction that I have come across. Mainly I react on the following type of statements:

  • “The world around us and our life is a mirror of ourselves.”
    It is beautiful to recognize aspects of oneself in others. However, I believe that the universe is vast and creative, and that every being is unique. To think that you can see yourself everywhere, like in a mirror, is ego centered to me. It diminishes the experience of true connection and the real adventure of living.
  • “I get back what I send out.”
    Obviously our surroundings react to what and who we are in many ways on various levels. Nevertheless, life and reality is full of surprises and you are not in control of the entire existence or nature, nor the people or other beings around you. Even the most hateful person can receive love and forgiveness from unexpected sources.
  • “I create my reality”
    I agree with that our thoughts, feelings and emotions, etc, have an effect on reality. However, if you try to be in control, you are abusing your power. I’m not saying that you cannot achieve control to a large extent, at least for a while, but it comes at a high cost. Loneliness, lack of connection with your heart and soul, missing the awesome power of co-creation in freedom, etc. In the end, we co-create reality together with every other unique, awesome being in this vast existence, plus some forces even beyond that “control”. Without a foundation of love and a fluid state of awareness, your manifestations will crumble, sometimes with a very uncomfortable bang.

I could continue, but I think that you get the point. I’m not saying that all that is said about the Law of Attraction is wrong, I am just stating that one should be careful about getting too stuck on certain concepts constructed around it.

Practice magic with love

If you want to practice magic, remember to let go of your spells in love and compassion. Respect the freedom of choice. And always be humble towards all other beings in and all aspects of the universe. Be patient and stay true to your core values. Let go. Receive without judgement. And remember that sometimes it is in the stillness in between that the greatest magic lies.

Darkness Divine

As we now move towards the dark time of the year, I want to reach out and talk about the importance of surrendering to the divine darkness. To stop using the word darkness to describe something bad.

Among other things, divine darkness has been described in deeper interpretations of the Yin force, the so-called female side of the Yin-Yang symbol. It is associated, among other things, with flow, water and soft shapes. This power is needed for balance within both men and women.

In my opinion, it is useless and harmful to strive to fill everything with light. If you do that, you can easily burn yourself out. An imbalance occurs and there is a great risk of trying to understand everything, instead of diving into ones inner wisdom and intuition.

Black holes creating

Do you know that black holes create life? They can even give birth to stars https://www.livescience.com/black-hole-giving-birth Another theory of how they do it is a process called Hawking radiation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation It describes how particles are created and in a certain way jump into the universe around black holes. I could tell you more about this and other science that touches the subject, but I will get back to that another time.

Respect the word

Darkness Divine. In the darkness there is a gigantic force just waiting to be released in so many “love and light” personalities. That was cheeky of me to say maybe, but I want to be honest, because it is important. This is not about accepting the darkness because you accept “evil”. Nor to deny that “evil” does not exist in our dimension. But about the WORD itself, and words have power.

Feel free to call it Darkness Divine instead of just “darkness” if that makes you feels better. But make friends with this amazing force. It provides enormous relaxation and access to deep roots for body and soul.

Soon I will make a short film about this, but I wanted to share it with you now. Anyone who wants to know more about how I think is welcome to contact me.
