My thoughts are images that I have made.
I am hallucinating.
I am in mind training for the transformation of my mind. What’s wrong with that?

God and Annihilation

I have a few thoughts that are not photography related, and I want to share them. I don't want to offend anyone, and hope you are not offended by my thought process.

While arguing with a friend over several weeks, I had to take a closer look at the idea of God/Power and separation, or to be more specific, at the idea of God and annihilation. So, here is my challenge in this regard:

Did you ever really look at the idea that God cannot annihilate Himself, and what the implications of that would be to you? You may say, sure, God can do this and can do that in reference to Him being all-powerful. But He cannot destroy Himself, and, of course, He cannot be destroyed by something else. I very much doubt that you would say otherwise. Power does not oppose, and a house divided cannot stand. Yet in this world we see everything as separated and divided and many of us take this for granted and project this quality onto God, saying, God knows of separation, fear, pain and suffering, that He knows of this world. How could that be? Could anything limited be part of God? Could He know of it? Could He have created it? No, He cannot destroy Himself.
Any idea of separation denies the idea of wholeness, and both cannot be true. God is. You ain't. But God has one Son... and that is YOU.

How do I incorporate ideas like that into my photography? I haven't found the answer to that yet, but the approach may be something like making the very obvious visible because in the world everyone just seems to go the other direction and asks only for a more comfortable way of dying, believing that annihilation is possible. How to make the blind see? Is it maybe enough that I start to see, and because of that everyone else will start to see along with me?

I include some of my recent favorites.

Thanks to all those artists that continue to inspire me.

Cheers,
