Frustration.
    #19264292 - 12/12/13 04:46 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Concerning the spectrum of art. What is with loss of energy, lack of enthusiasm and blockages? I get blocked up in many areas of life really. Damned irritating. Freedom of expression, life potential, joy in the heart always elusive. No ability to take pride in ones skills. Distractions, entertainment, consuming art from a disconnected, unaffected state. Impatience with the slowness, slow learning, obsessive repetition becoming completely detached from my own purpose.

Acceptance fades over time, why not be inspired? How to manifest the kingdom of heaven?

Praying that my case is one of a slow development of a higher expression. The methods of this brain dead society having further slowed the process. Mother internet set me free.

Some one talk to me. I don't see how I could be unique. Hoping I'm not retarded. I don't seem to ever hit it off with anyone on message boards either.

Today I get home from work and there is this music recording gear. There is serif draw on computer. There is acoustic guitars. There are pencils and paper. All I can do is clean the kitchen, drink bear and read. Shit it would be cool if I could be an artist. Why can't I get enthused? All these things require much time for skill development. Perhaps I should quit thinking I'm an artist.

"Before Enlightenment chop wood carry water. After Enlightenment, chop wood carry water."

Just get to work. Art and expression is about the process, not the end result.

Try to remember why you make art in the first place. What is it about the world, or yourself, that you find so worth expressing? Perhaps take a look at how you feel in a general sense. If the art is a reflection of the self then maybe it's the self you should look to for an answer. Try something new, meditate, get out of your comfort zone.

If everyone stopped when they felt discouraged there would be very few artists. Every time you express yourself through creation, you're an artist. It doesn't have to be "good" or something that others appreciate yet. Think of your art as a medium through which you meander towards self discovery. With enough persistence, you'll stumble upon something truly novel.

Presently being philosophically accepting of having no energy. Dream/ambition are the intention. Theory now is that if accepting/non-attachment/love/serenity are sustained then energy will return. The mind resisted everything including its own resistance. Black hole. Passion is the intention. Self sufficiency is the ideal. The only way forward is to stop resisting the black hole of no passion, no ambition, no dream, no energy. Happily squandering days, brewing/drinking/reading.

Contemplating killing off bad old ideas. Too many possessions. I recently paid for a new book. Why? I've even paid for some new vinyl's, why? material possessions complicating my live. Got a god damned kindle, keep 1000s of books in my pocket. Ditch the big hi fi stereo. Ditch the cds and vinyl. So many retarded, financially draining bad habbits. 100s of cdrs. SHIT.

Used opium to get productive. The more I used the worse the comedowns got, till I had suicidal depression. Fine, each time I re-learn to accept these mystical concepts get better. Needed sleep, a break from insomnia, 24 months of daily cannabis for 24 months of sleeping well. Cannabis no longer a muse. Had enough sleeping well, cut back cannabis, next hit she should muse.

Remain unattached to expectations of productivity that I might obtain passion and focus.

Healing talk therapy plus healing cranial sacral therapy, considering yet another.

Create art. Create Create Create. Patiently awaiting focus and passion.

Man this is very close to my own thoughts and activities, it is uncanny how similar it is
