The Pursuit of Wisdom, Knowledge, Spiritual Power, and the Minds of God Through Multiplism
Nonfiction / Spiritual / Self-Help
If art imitates life, this book imitates the artist’s mind. Specifically an artist that has surrendered most of their natural born life to the arts. As the decades change so does the style of the art and their philosophy of how they approach their medium. This book follows the artist’s transformation and expression of that art in correlation to the influences, both external and internal, over a lifetime of study. The influence is sometimes physical and direct, other times more seemingly abstract and metaphysical. And it continually revisits the question, how in control are we, or is there something bigger at work? Are we bound to repeat history or do we always have the power to change our path? The author provides anecdotes that seem to answer the text's questions directly, and at other times stir the ambiguity. At the same time, the format of the book as an anthology allows for it to rest on any coffee table and be cracked open at any page to enjoy a slice of the larger thought-pie.
“At the beginning of 2000,
the bubble burst and the stock market crashed with prices tumbling from the
100s to below 10. I lost everything, and was ruined financially[…] Nonetheless,
the overwhelming feeling of failure and regret consumed me. The ego and
ambition that was cultivated and thrived for decades was siphoned from my core.
The ensuing stress and depression darkened my world and transformed me into a
babbling misery, reliant on drinking to cope. Self-worth was growing foreign to
me. Anger and fear fueled my thoughts and words. I would walk alone. I would
holler alone. When it came to me wanting to talk to others, self-doubt was
tethered to every thought. I felt like a zombie, about to cave in on
themselves.”
