Art is a delivery system for worldviews.

I think that that's why artists make art - it is difficult to put into words unless you are a poet. What it takes is being open to the flow of universal creativity. The Zen artists knew this.

In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.

Do solemnly swear to love, honor and obey my soul, my path to realization and relationship with a higher, deeper creative power, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, from now and forever more.

Journeying through secret doors, curving corridors, and connecting rooms into the mountain was like being digested by the different organs of a deity.

A work of visionary art can shock a person out of their normal thinking patterns and help them to see the world in a new way, helping them to transfigure their perception of reality. Obviously, it's only one of many potential catalysts to healing and transformation, but I think it can be a significant one.

Life is a wave of creative consciousness rippling through space and time that we have the honor of aesthetically surfing.
