To live in thought is to perceive finitely
To live in sense is to perceive infinitely
As Philosophy, there is contradiction for the mind
As Art, there is contrast for the picture
As Philosophy, we may understand finitely
As Art, we may comprehend infinitely
The brain wants to make sense out of what the consciousness senses, but the brain can never “make sense” because it only receives sense for analysis. It is the brain that misses the art and feels the need to spell out words that point to what is sensed in order to “figure it out”. Even the phrase, “figure it out” points to the idea that you are taking something out and figuring it into something understandable for the brain, therefore changing and isolating what was sense. Comprehend is the infinite version of understand because there is nothing perceivable so limited to be understood. The potentials and variables are are too much for philosophy to figure out. The higher form of interpretation is sensing art because all are moving in patterns and by the time you analyze it, it will have already become a different picture to be sensed or missed.
The moment you become dependent on anything outside of your own labor and lifestyle in order to survive
you are a slave.
The moment you invite public messengers to determine your environment and state of concern
you are a zombie.
The moment you compromise your personal morals in the name of fear and confusion
you are dead.
Thought is not simply a path to answering
our relatively relevant manifested questions.
Far more intricately, it is the negative space
lending contrast between our inner/outer worlds.
The goal is not to find correct answers
but to be empowered to paint the relative truths
in ways that invoke appreciation for the scope of view.
Art is the window to apply ourselves as creators
in the same way that we idealize our own creator.
