PATHS – THE PURPOSE OF EXPERIENCES Painting

Raised reliefs, oil pastel and acrylic on canvas 120×70×3 cm | August, 2016 Reflection: If man is a tree, Then it is that the life of men, it is the leaves somehow born, fallen and carried by nature. And what matters Is not even the air that the leaf has helped bring into the world. What matters is what the air of the world could leave in the leaf. It is not what there is to see which is new. It is what there is to see in what has always been. All beings are paths. And all paths return to Reality because it is impossible to move out of Reality, it is the only thing that exists. Any path ends inevitably in It when the illusion that the experience is in itself reality is undone. On these paths, what matters are not the experiences I live by themselves. The meaning of life isn’t found in those whom I love. What matters is not how much I work or try hard for others. What matters is the Consciousness that blooms in my personality, through the world. What matters is the realisation of the Meaning of Life in myself. This is the way in which the highest service I can offer to the world is born. If that which is represented in this painting reminds of branches, yes, it is supposed to resemble branches. But if not even branches are branches, how could this painting represent branches? Everything in the physical world is a metaphor for Meaning, and it is that Meaning that things are. Things are never what they look like, what the eyes see, what is on the surface. Things are what causes them. What are the branches of a tree? The branches of a tree are that which causes the branches of the tree. The tree’s desire to expand itself over there. If the tree represents the human being, the branches, where leaves and fruits grow, are the paths that man can live. The branches of a tree are like the possibilities that man creates in order to live. Branches are paths. Choices of wills. Possible realities. The world is the embodiment of the field of life choices, but nothing is random or void of meaning. And the experience’s highest purpose is the Meaning that it brings to my state of being. It is not only the experience in itself. For instance, if I have a child, the Meaning of Life is not in what my child is to me. The purpose of the experience of being a father/mother is not only to experience my child, love it, take care of it. The purpose of that experience is, through everything that my child represents to me, to discover the true Meaning of Life within myself, a discovery which doesn’t concern a specific being, but the whole. The world is the realisation of Meaning through experience. But the world, as well as any experience, isn’t the Meaning of Life. Experience is the impulse for the revelation of Meaning in human personality. All that is real does not belong to the world. Reality is where the world came from and where the world heads to. Reality is the Consciousness of Life. How often is man unaware of the reason why certain things happen, very painful situations that seem not to have any meaning, which are cruel, unfair, as if coming from a universe without love. However, when man becomes aware of the purpose of experience, he realises that he deeply desires to live it in order for the Consciousness of Life to give a broader Meaning to his existence. Even if it initially seems the other way around, it is when the world dissolves in me that the space to recognise Reality becomes clearer. The only real Reality is Love (the Consciousness of Life and Oneness). The purpose of the world is to reveal the Feeling of Oneness, the Consciousness of Life, the true Love-Peace-Freedom-Happiness within myself, through the lived and felt experiences apparently outside of Consciousness. The purpose of the world is to live the experiences as a return to the Consciousness of Reality. galeria eva-sas
