Meditative Art (FCF)

To practice free creative flow, begin by acknowledging personal barriers to your daily flow like depression and anxiety, conflicts. This art, deeply rooted in ancient traditions like Zen and Chinese arts, emphasizes “flowing from emptiness” and the beauty of stillness. In today’s world, rife with distractions, it’s about returning to that blank canvas of the mind, away from ongoing distractions. True creative flow isn’t about the output but cherishing the process and the infinite possibilities of a fresh start.

The Art of Now

Beyond traditional art’s predictability, FCF thrives on spontaneity. Its foundation is the white page, either tangible or a mental state. More than an art form, FCF clears the mind from fears and burdens, inviting pure creativity. It’s the essence of the present, needing only your heart.

Dive into the mesmerizing realm of unplanned words, and explore how the truest expressions emerge when we let go of intentions and choices.

Simplicity

We often complicate things, equating complexity with value. What does a simple life mean to you? Is it freedom and peace or something perceived as lesser? True value lies in simplicity, but we’re conditioned to label and describe, making simplicity elusive. Life is inherently simple. This uncomplicated nature is the key to truly living and appreciating life. Are we able to understand this message without over-complicating it?

True Love & Presence

Love, beyond words or concepts, is questioned: Where does it exist? Not in fleeting experiences or knowledge. If true love communicates, can you perceive it? Like the rain or wind, are you wholly attentive? Can you immerse in the simplicity of a small flower or learn from life’s unyielding challenges? True love asks for undivided attention and presence.

The Eye of Questioning

True questioning seeks understanding, not conclusions. It’s akin to not knowing. While we’re familiar with movement and knowledge, we can’t fully grasp absolute stillness, the unknown, or our inner self. To genuinely embrace these discussions, one needs an open mind, willing to challenge its own beliefs and reflect on the very nature of questioning.

Reality: Imagined or Unknown?

Distinguishing between “imagined” (created by the mind) and “real” (untouched by the mind), the text probes our perceptions and the nature of questioning. It suggests that even our deepest inquiries might stem from imagination. The essence of the challenge is recognizing questions unformed by the mind, implying they exist within the realm of the unknown.

Quality of Life Now

In the video from the Observing Beauty channel, the creator challenges viewers to reconsider societal definitions of power, value, and quality of life. Arguing that the relentless pursuit of financial freedom can hinder inner freedom, the video questions our complicity in perpetuating a system that equates power and money, often at the expense of true value creation. Introducing the concept of ‘Justribute’, it asks if value distribution can reflect actual contribution. The creator emphasizes a present-focused quality of life, rooted in health, environment, relationships, and passion.

Meditate? The Gap

Engaging in an action without intention, such as sitting just to sit or walking to walk, hints at the profound depth of meditation. Gaps, perceived differences between reality and our thoughts, become less defined. This state embodies the essence of meditation, where there’s no purpose or direction, boundaries fade, inviting an open-ended exploration of the unbroken now.

Home of Learning

True learning means realizing that real knowledge isn’t about holding onto concepts but embracing the unknown. Encountering the futility of conventional learning can lead us to a profound, baseless unknown. In this space, a “free creative flow” emerges, where creations manifest spontaneously, and their origin surprises even the creator. Life’s essence is found in this unscripted dance of discovery.

Fear-Driven Occupation vs. Choiceless Flow

Young adults grapple with an apparent conflict between material pursuits and inner freedom. This article clarifies that this struggle is not inherent but fabricated by fear. Life can either be tethered by this fear or evolve in a free creative flow. In a life steered by this flow, resource concerns arise without the weight of fear. While it doesn’t promise easy answers, it reshapes the very foundation of the dilemma.

Observing Without Intervention

Is the ‘self’ distinct from consciousness, or are they intertwined entities? This exploration delves into the depths of choiceless awareness, urging readers to confront the age-old inquiry without bias. By observing without evaluating, one navigates the delicate dance between individuality and universal consciousness, unearthing the insight of self questioning.

True Sharing

Some of you express an interest in understanding and the nature of that interest is different from one another. Some are looking for instructions, whether they call it like that or just hope for it. Others want to know what I meant when I said something. And there are few that wonder if they can find it in themselves. And that’s where I feel the whole communication happens. There is no delegation of knowledge, experience, authority, when it comes to the new, to the authentic, to the fresh which is alive.

Preparing Minds for the Machine Age

In a world increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence, traditional education falls short in preparing us for the future. “Preparing Minds for the Machine Age: Rethinking Education for an Unpredictable Future” argues for an educational transformation that cultivates adaptability and comfort with the unknown, rather than relying on rote learning and standardization.

The Illusion of Teaching

In a world filled with teaching, does true learning actually occur? While machines excel in knowledge and skill-based tasks, there remains a form of learning unique to human consciousness. This learning is life itself, untethered by methods or goals. It doesn’t lead to certificates, but it’s pivotal for understanding the essence of life uncorrupted. As technology advances, we must ask: are we truly learning in a meaningful way, or are we merely preparing for a collapse in our collective consciousness?

Money & Attachment to Attachment

Inner freedom is compromised by our various attachments, whether to objects, individuals, or ideologies. These attachments create a false sense of security and divert us from a life of true freedom. Money is particularly revealing; when our navigation in life is influenced by its accumulation, we step away from freedom. The key to navigating life authentically lies in self-awareness, where we observe these attachments and understand that true freedom is not “for sale”

Holistic Innovation

Innovation within power structures inevitably leads to exploitation, limiting its transformative potential. Despite many fields boasting of progress, what we see is a fraction of what could be achieved through holistic innovation. The true innovator, driven by the pure desire to solve problems, is a rarity. Such individuals aren’t influenced by power or financial gain; they are motivated by the challenge of the unknown. But they are the outliers in a world unprepared to foster or even recognize this form of innovation. Such world is unsustainable in the long run.

Co existence as One

Exploring human differences, they often appear fluid and perhaps superficial. I spent a decade watching this paradoxical question of inner freedom, discovering a “reasonless beauty” as the heart of existence. This questions whether fundamental differences between us are real or illusory. Inquiring into the nature of inner freedom, or its absence, allows us to coexist or relate beyond boundaries. The time for direct observation is now.

I am so, and I don’t know

When the question ‘Who are you?’ breaks through life’s noise, it reveals a profound truth: we are, simply and undeniably, as we are. As we grapple with labels and memories to describe ourselves, we drift from the undeniable fact of our being. The essence of who we truly are remains unimagined, undescribed, and unnamed—anchored in the eternal now.

what do you want?

“What do I want?” seems straightforward, but it’s a loaded question that often keeps us stuck in a cycle of wanting and chasing. The real question to ask is not about what you want, but rather “What is the free will?” It’s a question that forces you to confront your own limitations, pushing you to the edge of your understanding. No book or advice can truly answer it for you. The real insight comes when you sit with the question, honestly, and let go of preconceived notions. In that space, free will isn’t something to define; it reveals itself.

To See Human Beings

Walking among passersby, we label them as strangers, distinct from our selves. But questioning this “Self” leads to deeper introspection: if there’s no “I,” is there another? Without this “I”, is there a need for categorization? This perception shapes our interactions, potentially seeing others as rivals. A shift in perspective might change how we truly see others, a revelation that’s beyond words.

The Fountain of Universal Care

Responsibility, at its core, prompts us to reflect on our connections to the self. Do our responsibilities arise from self-interest? Is genuine care solely for things linked to our personal identity or can it extend to the unknown? Delving deep might reveal that true responsibility, care, and even love are intertwined, suggesting a universal form of care that emerges from the unknown and guides us back to it.

Are you a thought?

In our existence, we touch life only the surface, limited by our thoughts. This brings forth a critical question: Are we separate from these thoughts? It’s pivotal to see the imagined boundaries of our mind. By doing so, we come to realize that it’s life itself that truly observes, revealing a realm of direct insight into the nature of life, beyond abstraction.

Life without thoughts

Can life exist without thoughts? This age-old question, wrapped in endless strings of thoughts, remains unanswered. Wherever we are, thoughts accompany us, raising questions about a thoughtless existence. To genuinely explore this, we must move beyond mere thinking, and dive into the very fabric of our being, where thoughts and self might just be intertwined.

You can NOT be free

The ‘Me’ cannot be free. Dive into this absolute statement and understand that true freedom may not be linked to our identity. Is it possible to find liberty from ourselves? It’s not about skills, but a deep, sincere introspection. Look within, beyond hopes and preconceptions. What is real freedom? It’s a question that opens up more than answers. Reflect, watch, and be true in your journey.

The absurdity of exploring the unknown

Is there such a thing as exploring the unknown? The unknown is where knowledge cannot enter. When we speak of understanding the unknown, we allude to the concept of it, rather than its reality. People discuss death, yet don’t truly understand it. This infinite question, this vast unknown, how does it intertwine with our lives? Ignoring it might be a key twist in our life.

Is Real Art for You?

In the vast field of artistic expression, how much truly qualifies as art? Most, in my view, are mere replications of thought. Yet, real art exists in the raw essence of the world—a cloud, a butterfly’s wing, the sound of a piano. It isn’t about imitation but revelation, challenging the notion ‘art is not for me.’ Dive deep, and discover the true art within.

Rediscovering Stillness

Eight years ago, I happened to meet the transformative power of stillness. When I stood still, my perspective changed, not in dramatic or absolute ways, but in subtle internal shifts. This wasn’t about physical sensations or emotions but a deeper awareness. It became a starting point for a new phase of direct observation and understanding.

The Paradox of Free Creative Flow

When discussions turn to free creative flow, common queries arise about its ‘how’ and ‘what’. But the profound simplicity of the answers—there is no ‘how’, no set rules, no method—often leads to them being overlooked or misunderstood. This creative state doesn’t emerge from a script or plan; it thrives in the beauty of not knowing. Anything birthed in this flow is transient, timeless. It’s about moving with the rhythm

Living Without Knowing

In the pursuit of understanding, we’re often bound by words and labels. Yet, what if our true essence is discovered in the spaces between knowledge? Envision a realm where definitions blur, and past recollections dim. Who emerges in that space? There’s a transformative power in embracing the unknown, allowing us to deeply connect with life’s raw, undefinable beauty.

Unimagined Timelessness

Exercise is constant—be it agility or space. True movement is in the now, free from the layers of imagination, like a weed dancing freely. This motion is unadulterated, untouched by vain ambitions. What do you truly exercise—demands or genuine peace? Let the now dictate, not imagination. True exercise yields clarity, revealing reality, serene or noisy. Time is irrelevant; in the now, it vanishes. Embrace unimagined timelessness.

The Illusion of Layers

What is real? This is an inquiry deeply linked with understanding life’s energy flow. Identifying the unreal may guide us: thinking is real, thoughts are not; imagination is real, the images it creates are not; you are real, but your image is not. The real has no identity, shape, or description—it’s life as it happens now. You exist in it, but it holds no more significance than a flash

Self-Inquiry

Thought—incessantly it seeks to think, yet seldom does it delve into its own true nature. It generates and modifies material using its own hues and tools, but why is it so infrequent in questioning? The challenge is not in the guise of thought, but in seeking its essence, its origin. We strive to understand words, to find meaning, yet this is merely thought endeavoring to interpret layers of its

What Brings an End to Words?

What brings an end to words? Confronting this question propels us into an exploration of the unknown. Words are our reality, our identity. Yet, in their silence, we uncover a profound beauty within ourselves, a beauty untouched by verbal expression. This journey into the silent realm, this quest to unveil our essence, represents the deepest significance of our human existence.

The Unfolding Question

Embrace a state of questioning, an ‘attention to the unknown.’ Begin your journey with the humbling acknowledgement that you truly do not know. Surrender to this state of wonder. This is the beauty of a question, an unfolding from not knowing to not knowing. In the unknown lies life itself, infinite possibilities, and the end of the chase. Dare to meet everything with a question, right now, and see

Self reflection

You sit, that’s all you know. That which passes through your mind, usually known as thoughts, imagination – that, you do not know. It knows itself as a projection, as imagination, as thinking. There is nothing else beyond that to know. To understand the nature of the inner movement of oneself, not the expression of memory and analysis, but the nature of thought itself.

Blurring Boundaries

We often distinguish between the external (outside our body) and internal (within our mind). But for example, where does physical health lie? This blurs the boundary. When we view our body as an image, the distinction becomes murkier. Could the internal and external be opposites, or even the same? If fleeting thoughts are external, what is truly internal? Maybe life’s essence itself. Such questions are vital as they relate

The Art of Listening

Free-flow piano play isn’t about the movement of fingers or any act of intent. It’s the art of listening, the ability to resonate with the sound to such a degree that it supersedes any willful movement. The sound carries its own will, color, and path of unfolding. Only when I hear the first sound can there be the possibility of the next. As soon as a sequence begins to

Breaking Chains

In life, the genuine urgency is the pursuit of true freedom – a life unchained from the bonds of thought. If this freedom is attainable, its discovery becomes vital, for only in freedom can we find real happiness. A misguided life, dictated by ideas and desires, is an obstacle to freedom. Thus, what calls for urgent attention is freedom from your self-perceived identity, and the recognition that life itself

AI’s True Threat

The rising potential of artificial creativity sparks concern, as AI could potentially outperform humans in emotional expression. The fear is that we may start to depend on AI for emotional connections, risking a loss of our own emotional capacities. To avoid this, it’s crucial to nurture our inherent creativity that transcends the ordinary and defines our humanity.

Interference of Self

Free creative flow reflects life as art and art as life itself. A vital, intrinsic expression of creativity, its essence often eludes verbal encapsulation. Ironically, the concept of ‘free creative flow’ may inhibit its full experience, nudging us towards recognizing it as more than mere words or theories; it is life itself, in its most authentic form.

Beneath Silence

Understanding and aligning with our will is essential to finding peace. However, peace isn’t achieved by resisting or avoiding conflict. It comes from accepting the current state of being. It’s vital to realize that peace and conflict cannot coexist – when one is present, the other is absent. Our desires determine the path we tread; if we live in conflict, it’s because we choose it. Recognizing this fact, accepting

The Unknowable Will

What does it mean to have a will? Our ‘will’ is usually tied to desires and outcomes, but does the will really exist only in relation to these things? Could the essence of our will be something more inherent and fundamental? Is our existence, in fact, an expression of a will that does not seek or know specific outcomes, but simply exists and flows in the moment? These are

The Intersection of Clarity and Memory

Is it possible that the very act of ceaseless, uncontrolled questioning represents the essence of clarity? And if we were to encapsulate our comprehensive understanding, would it manifest as a question or knowledge? This inquiry becomes particularly relevant when considering the powerful influence of our past memories. Despite their ability to shape present actions, they remain mere recollections susceptible to distortion. Recognizing that past events are simply memories, and

Harmony in Discord

This blog post explores the concept of free-flowing creativity, where perceived faults become part of a perfect order. It’s not something you encounter, rather, it reveals itself in your absence. The implications of this understanding are profound, challenging our habits of judgement and complaint. Yet the reality of this ‘free flow’ can’t be grasped by mere words. It can only start to reveal itself when we let go of

Signal Clarity in the Emptiness

This blog post delves into the elusive concept of the mind, a space teeming with thoughts, feelings, and ideas. The mind is painted not as a tangible object but as a frontier of the unknown, a clear signal from which emerges from a state of ‘not knowing’. This state is the cradle of free creativity, which can have profound effects on collective consciousness.

Into the Creative Abyss

“Into the Creative Abyss” explores the profound nature of questioning, not as a simple quest for answers, but as an embrace of an ever-unfolding state of unknowing. This perspective reframes questioning as a willingness to stay open to the unexpected, encouraging a journey into the undiscovered depths of our minds. It underscores the dynamic vitality found in the pursuit of pure learning, leading to a free, creative flow that

In Pursuit of Purity

In Pursuit of Purity explores our struggle to reconcile chaos with harmony, questioning whether our perception of order is merely a mental construct. It ponders if a question free from the mind’s influence could unlock the reality of absolute harmony, allowing it to unfold in our lives. This inquiry into the unknowable may lead us closer to questioning the ultimate truth.

Embrace the art of Now

The Art of Now invites us to a timeless and unhindered creative flow, free from personal intervention. Its essence cannot be passed from one to another, only discovered within oneself.
