Atrophy by Audra Skuodas
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: The only state of being is the subject experiencing itself and the world from within. There is no such thing as object. We are only subjects with the illusion of experiencing other subjects as objects as quantum physics has shown. Embracing the pain is making it one's own.
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: If the individual could sensitively emerge and mature perceiving the universal more determinately (connectedly) by a conscious perception which would spontaneously realize itself. Individuality becomes real when it is transformed into universality. As the growth (Analysis ) derives, from the seed (Synthesis), nurtured or deprived, so the Soul derives from subtle influences either of brutalization, fragmentation, or sensitive wholeness. . . . . True Imagination, the Intelligence of the Heart. It is from this beauty of form grows Originality -- point of Origin.
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: There are two aspect of vibration, fine and gross, both containing varied degrees. Some are perceived by the Soul. Some by the Mind, and some by the other Senses. What the soul perceives are the feelings. What the mind conceives are the thoughts. What the eyes see are the vibrations solidified from their etherial state into atoms -- matter. The soul itself is formed of the reactive vibrations. Our age is one of anxiety, frustration, agitation, aggression, addiction and fragmentation. The dope we call our high standard of living, a violent and complex stimulation of the senses which makes us progressively less sensitive and thus in need of more violent stimulation.
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: Relational wholism and vulnerability is the essence of living consciousness which acquires a conscience in its awareness and responsibility to the manifold aspects of the world, the cosmos. Nature linked in all parts by threads of magnetic sympathy. Vibration, consciousness, conscience. Spirit. Gravity religare to bind (?)
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: Soul shattered in its fragility. Cumulative stage. Insensitivity breeds insensitivity. Hardening soul turned to ice. Dogmetized. Concretized. Machine thinking. Mechanical Motion. Accumulations of abuse.
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: Brutalizing the sensitive. Oppressed. Brutalized. Mutilated. Destructive. Offensive. Curiosity functionalised. Imagination denied. Vulnerable sensitivity constricted. information dogmatized. Joy oppressed. Curiosity thwarted. Arts institutionlised. Spirit violated. Spirit brutalized through unresponsiveness. Thought homogenized. Creative receptive mechanized.
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: Evil is the fruit of spiritual malnutrition and can only be eliminated by a correction of the diet. . .In our culture the unfolding Spirit is bombarded in the war zone of obliterating fragments.
Atrophy by Audra Skuodas Image: The intellectual division between thought and feeling is a destructive fragmentation. Arteriosclerosis of the Spirit.
