I had never really heard it described in this way before; where the masculine energy reflects an external creation, and the feminine the internal. CReation necessitates both inner and outer. Perhaps ever a dialogue between the two. I find this in my art as well, Hikaru: this journey from the inner world to the outer one, and back in again, ad infinitum! Each journey births a new creation and each creation emerges with a whole new beauty! I am very grateful for the experience of creation; both on macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. For I believe that we are all little divinities, plating out this very story that is narrated at the beginning of this ancient text: this theme of love and beauty. WE have only, as you say, to produce them. Perhaps the most thrilling things about a creation is to share it, as Eve did with Adam. Sharing the sweetness of the fruit, it's nourishment, it's flavor. This is what it feels like to me when I share my art and taste that of others: delicious! And yes, HIkaru, I agree with you when you suggest that it would be very sad if our creations would hide in shame from us! instead let them run freely through the garden of Eden! Thank you for your enlightening, thoughtful blog entry! You research sounds fascinating. I look forward to reading more!Katarina Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377043577446593790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741991111225125305.post-44135306310451098072010-07-02T17:34:30.468-06:002010-07-02T17:34:30.468-06:00This blog really speaks to me, Hikaru! Yes, a rich...This blog really speaks to me, Hikaru! Yes, a rich and active imagination often serves us in the ways we relate to others humans! A good imagination, as I experience it, is a broad mind that embraces alternative perspectives, as you mention. It is not rigid, it is fluid, and it considers all angles of vision as possibilities of experience. I appreciate your exercise to mentally entertain what each person sitting at the table in the famous "The last Super" painting, is seeing and perhaps feeling. This is an empathic view, in my opinion, in which the viewer can separate him, or herself, enough from the work of art to truly absorb everything the piece of art has to offer. When we approach life without preconceived expectations of what is before us, we open our eyes to new vistas! The imagination is a most valuable faculty that definitely allows such new perspectives to thrive. Speaking as someone who has always been told she has a very rich imagination, I can certainly attest to how valuable I have found it in my life. My imagination has been one of my best friends. It has certainly broadened the way I see and experience art, other humans, and the world in general. It has opened me to connecting more deeply. It has injected greater meaning into what I see. The imagination takes us beyond the surface and into the deeper regions of existence. I couldn't agree with you more, dear Hikaru! Thank you for this blog entry, and may we all practice exercises to cultivate our imagination....for, I believe, it has no limit! :)Katarina Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377043577446593790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741991111225125305.post-4668632775489111632010-06-21T22:43:01.921-06:002010-06-21T22:43:01.921-06:00You are building our suspense!

Is the image above a result of your teaching this to Waldorf students? I would love to hear more about the creative process and how the children responded to these exercises. The work is gorgeous!
