Our minds are so complex that we also need to express our inner divine outwards to truely see it. To examit. We also find truths within our expressions; within Art. "A picture tells a thousand words" (or truths). Poetry, paintings (drawings) are a reflection of that artists soul,true being. When you express something (using inner divine that holds truth) you feel good about it. Thats why there is unconventional therpathys. Our express can help with our health and help control stress. Its important to express yourself for both physical and mental health.
Dance,lit, drawing, blind contour, painting, yoga, music. I love music that I relate to the lyrics.
We feel a connect to Art that we can relate to but nothing close to the feelings we get when we express something of ourselves but sometimes someone else can express what you been trying to better than you could. Not devaluing yourself, sometimes we just cant quite find the picture or words ourself but we still have a strong connection to that piece, which is ok. All this is ok. We are not perfect. Sometimes we need help with learning, understanding, expressing and that why there are life teachers and mentors. It would be a hopless strangle if we didnt get help because somethings we cant do alone. Even so we cant forget that the answers are within ourselves (all life).
You also must first understand the dark side of life, of being before understanding the light. (or would be dark/light, things we put under those catagories. Life=light, death=dark.) You must face your own dark side.
If you stop and listen to the divine, it can help guide you (a.k.a gut feelings, sometimes). You know the feeling when you been listening to music and after awhile you realize that the music has stopped, sometimes I feel that about life. That something has stopped but time keeps pressing forward. I dont know what that is really.
We need different ways to express ourselves to express different things.
