Автор:Bandhu Dunham Год: 2005 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 252 ISBN: 1890772461 Book DescriptionIs contemporary art undermining the sacred roots of human culture? Is art meant for a noble purpose, greater self-knowledge, and entry to a deeper dimension of life? In sharp, streetwise language, this artist, a skateboarding punk meditator, presents practical ways serious artists can use their lives to develop greater clarity, dignity, generosity, and insight. He discusses: * how generosity transforms the artist's natural isolation * how creative people subconsciously sabotage their success * how unrecognized self-indulgence obstructs creativity * how artists can use meditation to deepen insight and creativity * shamanistic and sacred visionary traditions as sources of creative power * the consequences of manipulating creativity
