Speaking of Seeing: Seeing God 

Thank you for writing, Noah. It’s a really difficult thing to grapple with objectively. I hear religious family and friends talking about a kind of struggle to either come to god, or to move away from their belief in god, and it seems very emotional and personal. I find that the objective view of god is something that is separate, academic, from the belief in god. Where that leaves us or brings us to truth, is opaque to me.

​@@SandiRobertsonI find it truly fascinating that such a beautifully thoughtful, sensitive artist questions or even rejects "God". Artists often opine how the act of creating a work often comes from the ether, from a higher self or external guide. Through creating a piece of art, one should feel humility in the outcome. Proud of the results of their craft but taking only a partial credit. This is when we allow ourselves to open up to a higher potential and new growth can be achieved. How can one attribute all that is so mystical about the creative process to only a self derived, self generated effort. You exhibit a true, great deal of thoughtfulness but we must at times get out of our own mind's way in order to feel a part of the great universe that was created for us, not by us. I sense you actually have great untapped parapsychological abilities. As artists we see the world differently. Leave the pragmatism to the "scientists" and allow yourself to "get out of your own way" creatively speaking. You have so much potential to discover the creative freedom that opens up when we commune with God. Be well in your journey.

@@hokeypokeypo thank you so much for taking the time to write. Your words resonate, yet I am aware of my own obstacles to finding the thing I might choose to name God. I wonder if any amount of seeking ever leads to truth, and often I conflate truth and God. Less seek and ye shall find, and more a sense that this greater thing might already be within and known but denied. I hope the videos show that, though there is a kind of searching across diverse topics, there is also a sense of integrity. I appreciate your insight.
