Who would have imagined that pieces of driftwood chosen from a sea of hundreds of thousands would upon being carved, serve as catalysts to the awakening of a sense ability. This sense ability we humans do possess yet we have lacked conscious awareness. Consequently we have neglected and under-utilized our ability.
I began an exploration that would eventually shape my awareness.
It was through a process of sculpting pieces of wood that I began to recognize that I too was being sculpted, being altered. Impressions were being formed. Meanings were being shaped. The sculpting journey evolved into remarkable experiences, remarkable transformations.
I have chosen to remark,
Having had such remarkable experiences I feel compelled to share this exploration which has taken me to very edge of reason.
I invite you to share in my journey.
This journey often takes us beyond the current boundaries of reason. There are both risks and rewards in venturing on this journey. The carving of what later became “The Shaping of Awareness Sculpture Group” is directly connected to some of the most intriguing life experiences I have experienced as a human being, and particularly as a practicing artist. Journal entries serve to describe events and states of mind that have played their various parts in the explorations. Journal entries also serve to describe experiences and personal insights of an intuitive journey. The entries include descriptions of environments conducive to intuitive exploration as well as descriptions of aspects of the journey that provided convincing, shall I say “rationale” for a continuation of intuitive exploration and a sharing of this narrative.
Throughout the narrative are expressions of why and of how the intuitive journey appears to be particularly provocative considering the state today of both the world and in particular of the state of awareness of humanity as Humanity.
Intuitive journeys at the edge of reason are not without risk yet we humans are likely facing significantly more peril in neglecting such journeys.
