Welcome to Unbound Art, Embracing Life

Welcome to our new blog Unbound Art, Embracing Life. Kim and Fernando will be posting images and observations created to share with you our longstanding exploration of the relationship between consciousness and life.

We clearly sense that the ground of human existence is not in personal consciousness, but in life as a whole.

Personal and tribal identity, which is based on exclusive memory and self-centered and provincial thought, has separated each one of us from most others and alienated the entire species from life. The consequences of this double separation have always been bad, and are becoming increasingly dangerous.

Our present levels of conflict in every sector and at every level of society, as well as the ecological consequences of our reckless exploitation of the biosphere, seems to be placing in jeopardy the very survival of our species. This danger and the urgent necessity for sanity it underlies, seems to be begging every concerned and sensitive human being to question whether there might be an entirely different mode of being in the world.

Is a radical integration with life and harmony with one another possible?

The Simple Mind...

"That which is eternal cannot be sought after; the mind cannot acquire it. It comes into being when the mind is quiet, and the mind can be quiet only when it is simple, when it is no longer storing up, condemning, judging, weighing. It is only the simple mind that can understand the real, not the mind that is full of words, knowledge, information. The mind that analyses, calculates, is not a simple mind..."       Jiddhu Krishnamurti
