Pain & Alchemy

"We need developed humans, we need mature humans, artists & creators. That their gift is the gift of sublimity and transcendence, and like the geisha, they must be crafted through painstaking storms, the rigorous training routine, carving and sculpting that which attunes to it’s medium in a way that is ultimately hyper-augmenting, like a Frankenstine of substance where we become our art and our art becomes us and it it granted life-blood, life-blood that then has the capacity to float, travel through all the blood-stream of all the planet and transform the way people conceive of life, of life as a whole, of life as it’s most profound expansive sense, as this force of unity and momentum towards some height we could never conceive of. So to be always carved with pain, because pain is the alchemical agent of the psyche. Comfort is anything but. Pain is alchemy through and through, draw us into heights, sublime portals.”
