The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind.
If artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.
Terence Mckenna
For me, being an artist is a radical act of spirituality in action. I’ve always been spiritually inclined and this time it’s a look at how the act of ‘being spiritual’ can block us from what is really going on. I have experienced this a lot myself as our culture tries to integrate the highways and byways of eastern practices and doctrines, it’s easy to get duped away from ourselves and our basic humanness. It’s oh so easy to bypass our essential nature and our pain in favour of spiritual heights.
For anyone who thinks they’ve tried it all and it’s just not working…Spiritual Bypassing might be why. An essential read for anyone on a ‘spiritual path’ or engaged in religious studies or practices.
