Sky's Ghost of Her

Lately im trying to start giving time to art again but it seems like finding inspiration is something just as hard as trying to keep your true will in life leading your way. There are so many things in life which do not let you be yourself, all these things which require of our time and thought, all this noise of the productive system we live in, no wonder its starting to crumble. Still, keeping our Self alive, a look into life which allows us to simply contemplate it and be happy with that simplicity, remains quite hard for it is not "the system" who impedes us but rather "most of the people" those masses who are so comfortable with it that will react even violently to anyone who tries to be themselves and not like everyone else.

"The Self is the Hero, threatened already at birth by envious collective forces -Individuation is an Opus contra naturam- The Self is that place in the middle which is to be protected from Gog and Magog, the featureless hostile masses." CG Jung

Its said about those "natural" "normal" people who are part of the hostile masses:

"Natural man is not a Self -He is the mass and the particle in the mass, collective to such a degree that he is not even sure of his own ego. That is why since time inmemorial he has needed the transformation mysteries to turn him into something, and to rescue him from the animal collective psyche, which is nothing more but a variété." CG Jung

I hope us, artists (Even if part time ones), even hobbyists, around here, are people who are more in touch with this core of the meaning of life.
