Deciphering the External World

“Art is not what we see;

it is in the spaces between."

"The creative act is not

performed by the artist alone;

the spectator brings

the work in contact with

the external world by

deciphering and interpreting 

its inner qualifications and thus adds 

his contribution to the creative act."

"The spectator makes the picture.” 

- Marcel Duchamp (1887 - 1968)

The Mind is Simply Aware

“There is no ideal in observation.

When you have an ideal, 

you cease to observe, 

you are then merely

approximating the 

present to the idea, 

and therefore there

is duality, conflict, 

and all the rest of it. 

The mind has to be in the 

state when it can see, observe. 

The experience of the observation 

is really an astonishing state. 

In that there is no duality. 

The mind is simply - aware.”

- Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 - 1986)
