>>> Thanks, yes, it is a great post, i'm with you on presentation of text before image, it works well.  Good point about people and imagination, putting the description of the art before the art itself so people are given the chance to try and picture it and use their own imagination before seeing it, especially after generations of being told, "ah that's just your imagination", like saying, "if you escape from the box of 'what's real' you're in unreality and might even become insane', when the opposite is true, "normality" is a fear based comfort zone which is not comfortable and obviously not sane.  A prominent psychiatrist recently abandoned his career after discovering normality doesn't exist.

I'd say, people are more likely to become 'insane' due to being afraid to explore imagination, children are comfortable with living imaginatively till they're told "genius is to madness closely allied", or "great artists are mad", i mean you might freak out and chop your ear off and get put away where you can create in peace.  Genius is natural, cowering in a box is paranoia.  Inner exploration keeps you flexible, curious, sane in a world of paranoids living in imaginary boxes.  A box is a symbol of finite limitation where what defines it as so is the infinite surrounding it in all directions forever.  Limitation pretends to measure that which is beyond (there's always a beyond to a limitation) , thereby demonstrating that limitlessness is everything and includes every 'thing.'

Besides, what's a 'thing', without infinite 'no-thingness' to define it?

Art, far from being something you hang up to cover a crack in the box, is anything you perfect to the point of artless artistry, which requires fearless imaginative intention, attention, and flawless skillfulness and a refusal to hide it in a box.

All of our combined abilities are making this accessible to people suffering from imaginary cardboard claustrophobia and 'angst' about Bandora's Pox.

I ducked into a cafe today to get warm.  I came to town without a leather jacket and the wind stream was North North West despite sunshine, and sat down to a bowl of hot soup.  Quickly realized the imaginative level of the crowded cafe

was also low on the psychic barometer purporting to be 'familiar reality.'  Its familiarity was all too familiar but its reality was distinctly questionable.  So ingesting the soup i flew the coup and ordered three bags of coal having studied the wind direction for the coming ten days, checked it's a new moon and sniffed the air periodically.  I mean you can't deal with the unexpected unless you can imagine all possibilities.  Imagination is real because it's experience and if you doubt your experience you can't trust your doubt either.

Yes, i like "Art for Playful Evolution: APE."  Creativity Inhibits Anguish: CI..oops!  Fearful thought shuts down the immune system.  Positive expectation reduces stage fright.  Why believe 'any' thought anyway?  It's limiting possibility.

It's nice to know i'm not just who i think i am.  Allows freedom to be something i didn't think of.  When was the sky ever a limit?   I think, we're all doing a great job.

Oh sod, i've written another article!  "Blogger!!"
