AN ARTIST’S NOTES ON HUMANS AND THE UNIVERSE

About the Book

Is distance real? Is the speed of light the ultimate speed of our own human perception of physical sight, not of the world? Why is it a living mind does not need artificial energy, and cannot be unplugged? Histories of philosophy and the sciences sometimes mention perceptions without showing any curiosity towards why we all must perceive in the first place. They merely explain our vision by describing physical organs of our bodies, such as eyes or brains, which cannot see or think on their own.

We do not need any technology to find out how we sense and perceive what we believe reality may be. We can follow our mind’s deeply instinctive “artist routine” of perceiving within ourselves.

Whether you think, memorize, imagine, observe, dream or feel anything, this primordial routine is present and revealing itself in every moment of our existence. This is nature’s mechanism of perception. Surprisingly it is similar to the instinctive routine we follow in the classical art process of painting: comparison, selection, focus, and composition. Without this process of perception, we cannot sense anything at all and cannot exist as our sovereign selves.
