New painting up.

Adam & Eve or 'After the fall'.
As promised a quick explanation (but no tinsel) as I do not like be needlessly cryptic. The sphere contains a field of alert awareness for we are what we are aware of. Freely substitute 'Being', 'Buddah nature', 'Christ nature', 'Consciousness' the Kingdom of God or, my favourite, 'foetal awareness' for the term alert awareness. The spinning disc is Mind, a source of largely unproductive and mostly random thoughts - the source of Buddha's suffering. I've read somewhere that the mind generates many thousands of thoughts a day. As conscious entities we watch and hear (lens and small trumpet) what it produces and assume, erroneously, that we are responsible and in control of what is generated. A subset of these thoughts are 'Me' or ego thoughts. Much of what emerges from the eye-trumpet is from the Mind (ego driven drivel). Reality is accessible to the sphere only after coming in from the eye-trumpet. The lens can momentarily raise itself to look above the disc but the lens is heavy and the non-stop thoughts are too compelling - especially if they are 'Me' or ego thoughts. Before the fall the lens would have effortless roamed the sky to be lost and found in the moment (Tolle's Now). But now it is so difficult. What is more fascinating than what I think and feel and my life story? Nothing, absolutely nothing which is why we are all, for the most part, psychotic.
