Uniqueness land was born out of an idea of Awakening out of the old habitual patterns of the past that have been taken in over the lifetime and beyond that to the flowering of awareness through surrender to an inner intelligence that comes from within. Once begun in earnest this awakening grows through many interconnected steps along the journey moving through doubts and indecisions about one’s own survival and sometimes is in stark opposition to our minds conditioning to how we have learned to filter the world in discrete concrete systems and structures that we have taken in and embodied as our compass and navigational tools in order to fit into the collective and tribal ways we are confronted with daily in the environment around us.
“This is the way” to quote the Mandolorians… but there always comes a point in any period of growth when the prevailing conditions no longer support our growth but rather they become the very fuel for our potential to grow beyond the current system. This can be seen in any creative process – there comes a point at which something new and unifying arises within us but if we are truly honest – it’s not me – rather it is a timing and alignment of oh so many seemingly disparate forces and objects that have passed before me that had no seemingly obvious logical connections – and yet they have suddenly come together in an unmistakable unique expression from somewhere far deeper inside us – a place of knowing. When does a painter know when to stop… if they are listening deeply enough they will realise knowingly there is nothing left to add.
What kicks this off is the point of invention – when something “new” enters the world – it is invariably without question founded upon the old but strung together in such wildly unique relationships and composition – that it literally attracts a magical force that summons all past limitations and unifies them into something original that converts all that past resistance into a new enriching soil that nurtures a completely new foundation supporting the next period of growth. Like lightning – it has the power to unite the inner and outer worlds and forever fuse them into a new way of filtering the world. That which seemed impossible suddenly becomes the very ground upon which we find ourselves walking – coming as naturally to us as our past resistances came to us.
