"To create life one has to love. To create a great work of art one has to love truth with the passion of a maniac. If society does not perceive this love, humanity perhaps will.” John Graham, System and Dialectics of Art, published in 1937

It is a paradox that we encounter so much internal noise when we first try to sit in silence. It is a paradox that experiencing pain releases pain. It is a paradox that keeping still can lead us so fully into life and being.
Our minds do not like paradoxes. We want things to be clear, so we can maintain our illusions of safety.
Certainty breeds tremendous smugness. We each possess a deeper level of being, however, which loves paradox.
It knows that summer is already growing like a seed in the depth of winter. It knows that the moment we are born, we begin to die. It knows that all of life shimmers, in shades of becoming-that shadow and light are always together, the visible mingled with the invisible.
When we sit in stillness we are profoundly active. Keeping silent, we hear the roar of existence.
Through our willingness to be the one we are, we become one with everything.

Meditation is the emptying of the mind of all the things that the mind has put together. If you do that - perhaps you won't, but it doesn't matter, just listen to this - you will find that there is an extraordinary space in the mind, and that space is freedom. So you must demand freedom at the very beginning, and not just wait, hoping to have it at the end. You must seek out the significance of freedom in your work, in your relationships, in everything that you do. Then you will find that meditation is creation.
The origin is nameless; the origin is absolutely quiet, it is not whirring about making noise. Creation is something that is most holy, that is the most sacred thing in life, and if you have made a mess of your life, change it. Change it today, not tomorrow. If you are uncertain, find out why and be certain. If your thinking is not straight, think straight, unless all that is prepared, all that is settled, you cannot enter into this world, into the world of creation.
Only the mind that has emptied itself of the known is creative. That is creation. What it creates has nothing to do with it. Freedom from the known is the state of a mind that is in creation. Jiddu Krishnamurti

In alignment with Nature | interview in Obecni Noviny Male Strany a Hradcan
Such an honor to walk a path of creation in the most beautiful, charmy, calm, and historically significant part in the centre of Prague, Mala Strana which happened to be for me a real home. Thank you Obecni Noviny Male Strany a Hradcan for this article.
Dream within a dream | video
..dream within a dream.
Dream as a representation of the primary intention, the first idea, inner movement, tendency that sets the direction for its further manifestation into form. All that is, all that exists comes from this movement. The ever present moving power inherent in every cell, in every planet, every star, human being, every soul, seed and plant, every grain of soil, movement of leaf, drop of water. We are that energy that we cannot escape. The whole existence in its physical form is manifestation of this energy, this spirit. To dream is to connect with this infinite spirit, with the great source. To dream is to live from our Soul, as the manifestation of this great energy in its infinitely unique forms. To live our unique expression. And to recognise it, to get to know it, we need to listen to its voice that speaks a language of passion, desire, intention, idea that sets us free. Idea that comes from the Source, the unified field of all the possibilities that the mind even cannot imagine. That is the great freedom. Maybe the greatest one. To allow to dream. Unconditionally, utterly. That all infinitely exist. To be awake but to dream is one of the greatest awakenings. Awakening into freedom where there is no division.
Please, feel free to immerse yourself into the depth of infinite possibilities through this short video I had a great pleasure to create for you..
