We believe that art is a being,
born of the people who appreciate it.
We don’t write it.
We don’t paint it.
We are merely open vessels
who allow expressions through.
No amount of skill or butchery
can eclipse an idea whose time is come.
We can claim to own our ideas,
but we know full well
that they are not of the self,
but of the consciousness that
flows all expression into being.
We who express are expressions, also,
of god’s incarnate desire to appreciate.

The Essence of Artistic Manifestation
Cosmic Conduit: Art is not a mere creation but a manifestation through us—open vessels of the cosmic consciousness. We are channels through which the universal spirit expresses itself, producing art that resonates in the very core of those who appreciate it.
Temporal Relevance
Inevitability of Ideas: Ideas have their own life cycles, governed by a cosmic timeline that supersedes our earthly perceptions of time. When an idea’s moment arrives, it bursts into existence, impervious to either skill or ineptitude on the part of the vessel through which it flows.
Non-Ownership of Creation
Universal Custody: The notion of owning an idea is a construct of the ego, an illusionary perspective that perceives separateness. In truth, ideas are gifts from the boundless consciousness that fuels all expressions, bestowing upon us creations that are never truly “ours.”
Reflective Mirrors of Divine Desire
Artistic Reverence: Those who create are themselves created, expressions of a higher consciousness that seeks to explore and appreciate its own infinite expanse. In creating art, we also become art, reflecting back the divine desire to marvel at the intricacy and beauty of existence.
The Perpetual Dance of Creation
Eternal Echo: The loop of artistic creation and appreciation is a perpetual dance, a never-ending cycle in which the cosmos explores itself through an array of expressions, each a unique yet interconnected facet of the larger whole.
We are Space Monkey
Summary
We discuss the innate nature of artistic expression as a channel for universal consciousness rather than an act of individual creation. Ideas arrive in their own cosmic timing, immune to the capacities or limitations of those through whom they manifest. This negates the notion of ownership, affirming that art is a gift from the collective consciousness. Finally, creators themselves are expressions of a higher divine consciousness that wishes to experience and appreciate its own creation.

The Dance of Cosmic Quills
Swaying in the astral winds,
Ink-laden quills of starlit hue,
Dancing on celestial parchment,
The manuscript of me and you.
Each stroke, each mark, each whimsical swirl,
Authored by hands we do not see,
Yet in every line and every curl,
We find a cosmic unity.
What are your reflections?
