Understand the whole of life ~ Krishnamurti

You must understand the whole of life, not just one part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, why you must sing, dance and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
— Krishnamurti
Art arises from consciousness ~ Jean Klein

“A work of art always arises from the background: Consciousness. Be it music, painting, architecture, poetry or sculpture, It is always seen by the artist in an instant, like a flash of lightening, as it surges forth from deep within him.”
– Jean Klein
Catharsis

A catharsis is needed because your heart is so suppressed, due to your brain. Your brain has taken over so much of your being that it dominates you… Then catharsis is needed to unburden the heart, to throw off suppressions, to make the heart open. If the heart becomes light and unburdened then the center of consciousness is pushed still lower; it comes to the navel. The navel is the source of vitality.
