RETURN TO THE INSIDE
RETURN TO THE INSIDE – the potential of our times. Sometimes we think that we still have time, that we can go around in circles, run away from ourselves endlessly, race, rush, chase, eat away, lose ourselves, be only for ourselves, for our four walls, do we even know what is happening around us? Or maybe we are still dredging up the past, analyzing it on and on, or we are living in the future not caring about what is standing in front of our eyes. The world has stopped us. It activated a similar mechanism that happens in the Desert. Emptiness… triggers, silence, and loneliness disappear – BAM, BAM, is what we have been running away from for so many years, catching us up? From what is on our Inside. We are scared to feel, we are afraid of emotions. We are still in our head, thoughts, in virtuality, where does the world lead without hearts and feeling? Where is sensitivity treated as weakness? Where to? To separation. Mind from the heart. Soul from man. Man from the planet. Shadow from light. Any separation leads to conflicts. Internal Conflicts are the ignition of External Conflicts because what is Inside appears Outside. Each of us has a powerful mechanism to influence the world. We emanate our Inside. Now is the time to decide what I want to emanate. What kind of world do I want to see? Such a world is born under closed eyelids. Subconsciousness creates reality.
Ok. I am fed up with criticism in art., life. Over the last couple of years, I have been getting rid of its aftermath that overshadowed my truth and stopped my will to live. I am fed up with destruction, talking about the fall of man. Today I want different. Today I want to see in art what is elevating. WHAT YOU LOOK AT, GROWS, what you put your energy in, manifests in your life. What kind of life do we want? Does it really seem to us, that we can be split apart? Not paying attention to the earth, air, neighbor, another country, own child? Each of us is a small Universe that infects with its Inside. It is enough for everyone to use the Potential that today’s world gives us and turn to this Inside, what for? To tidy up, to integrate, to light up, to let in the light of consciousness, to decide otherwise, to have an impact on our lives, to LOVE OURSELVES, ourselves as Humans, so that Humanity regains its dignity. A man who hates himself hates people and the world. How is such a person supposed to make positive changes and be willing to give a bit from himself to the world? What such a person contributes from himself? TO LOVE HUMANITY in RETURN TO THE INSIDE is the mission of our time. To take down all these traumas that have built upon our identities, to look purely and innocently at our existence, to take down the original sin that leaves you with a lifetime feeling of guilt, and under the guilt, there is nothing left. That is the heaviest emotion. The sensitive ones do not maintain it, they often leave this world because they take more than others upon themselves, because others can deny, put a mask, somehow organize their lives, while those sensitive ones cannot. Somehow they still can see the truth beyond illusion, somehow they suffer for everyone, soak up like sponge emotions that others did not want to feel. They say they are weak. NO. It is them who still have the courage to wear their hearts on their sleeves, repeatedly, despite the wounds. They are the only ones who let emotions in, they are the only ones who feel for their whole families, they usually take the pain of adults on themselves already in their childhood. Somehow on the way, the roles turned around, as humanity, we somewhere got lost, hearts clammed up, bodies became hated, taken under the knife, stuffed with painkillers because they were so unperfect. Somehow we lost our trust in humanity, in our bodies intelligence, somehow heart turned into stone, closed even to what is natural, to nature, to what is called life here on the earth. Somehow we moved away from our Inner Voice, listening to those Outside, forgetting about the intelligence of existence. HUMAN is power, subconsciousness is power, nature is power, sensitivity is power, art is power. In which way will we direct its potential? Now more than ever, SENSITIVE, Artists are needed. Those who touch the Soul remind us of who we really are, awaken Hearts through which we communicate with the earth, with other people, with our truth, intuition, trust, and belief. SOUL IN HUMAN, HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BODY, with tame emotions, with the tools to handle oneself with their Human. Artists who remind us of the Heart, Emotions, Feeling, Earthing, and the Connection of HEAVEN and EARTH in Human. We can use the power of ART to perform for the common good, for connection. Beginning with combining what is separate within us. It is time to warm Hearts, regain yourself, integrate, RETURN TO THE INSIDE to share yourself, your talents, powers, values with the world. We deeply, internally feel who is acting from what space, with what intentions, and where it is going. Let’s make decisions starting with the choice between hating or loving each other.
I created the LAW OF THE DESERT, as well as the MONIDŁO – IDENTITY DISCOVERING projects, TAMING THE EMOTIONS, and now RETURN TO THE INSIDE. I am interested in visualization, meditation, breathing, energy, quantum physics, subconsciousness, mind programming. I use everything that I have discovered in the last 3 years of being in my own Process, working with other people to cross the IMPOSSIBLE. I paint what is visible only under closed eyelids. I promote the power of creating, influencing reality and my human states. I live and work in the Błędowska Desert.
