Identical Worlds

 

Identical worlds, in the intricate tapestry of existence, another world may coexist alongside our own—a universe known to some. Where the boundaries between realities blur. While we may not be solitary inhabitants on this planet. Buddhists have honed the instinct to discern where the next spirit will reincarnate—a skill we all possess to varying degrees. Just as the blind heighten their hearing, the spiritually attuned can unlock portals to glimpse the past, the present, and the future.

On the term, uncertainty shrouds these phenomena, faith remains their cornerstone. Such occurrences are often termed “phenomena,” defying logical explanations. We call it a phenom when there is no logic behind it The ancients wove their wisdom through dreams, creating a bridge between realms. Psychologists label this as escapism, weaving fantasies to evade reality. Regardless, across our planet’s expanse, souls akin to ours reside, bound by shared threads of existence.

Recently, Chance connected me with a stranger on a bus who marveled at my resemblance to her cousin. Such moments prompt introspection, causing us to pause in contemplation. Déjà vu too has crossed our paths—a sensation of familiarity in an unfamiliar place. These experiences evoke a unique feeling, leaving us in awe and the body in shock, as though from an exhaustive marathon. Yet, whether present or not, they serve as reminders of life’s moments in nature. Doubts naturally creep in—our own minds, sometimes our severe critics. Here, awareness becomes the weapon to combat this internal rival.

In short, just imagination or scaping our reality, and living, makes us feel secure about ourselves. And on the other side of our world, there is another person who shares our customs and ideas. After all, we belong to this beautiful planet called Earth.

Good and Evil

 

On the same coin, good and evil come from different experiences. The person is brought to light by crime when the murder of his parent leaves a devastating mark on his young life. The other is forced to pay for his father’s crimes, serving time in prison. This experience made him want to fight the people who sent him there.

Both use violence to achieve their aims. One in the name of good, the other evil. Different perspectives from deep insecurity brought by their devastating experience as children.

The turmoil and social construct of the world influence them, not for good. Governments and corporations utilize media to direct the aimless dance of youth with commercialism and division. Greed and hatred forged by the power-hungry create a societal breakdown infused with resentment and chaos.

However, some join and embrace the lies and deception to perpetuate and benefit from the madness and confusion. But, others will fight to bring those responsible for their crimes, of which they create a system to allow themselves to operate freely, to a natural justice where the truth reigns supreme.

Nonetheless, the superhero and the villain. Metaphorical creations reveal the observed reality of the world where the many are fighting the few.

But, we are itching to find out who is behind that mask. Further, to create mystery, curiosity plays with our minds. We perceive what they want us to see from them, which is an unclear personality that may not even be real. The painting shows both posing and glazing on the right side, but by their looks, they have found something even more significant than themselves.

It amazes me to see how people change from one moment to the next by being cynical. Seeing them degrade themselves is exhausting without achieving satisfaction. However, at the end of our lives, we take nothing with us, and our bodies will return to the ground.

Charcoal

 

Charcoal medium is one of the oldest media. That dates back some 28,000 BC Imagined our ancestors needing to document hunt events. Moreover, rituals were painting their faces meant to become adults. Moreover, it became much refined by the latest artists by burning wood, from big to tiny portions bound with gum into sticks. Then until now, fancy pencils have become available.

CHARCOAL

This is a dry media that releases a beautiful pigment. From grainy to textural techniques, the artist creates different styles to their taste.  The object dictates how it wants to be released.

Everything drawn with charcoal gives a unique moment. Spontaneous strokes create dynamics. Then, on the other hand, shading from dark to light gives us a tangible reality. The expression ranges in different directions where there are no limitations to use.

Furthermore, charcoal mimics other media such as oil in its texture. It boroughs itself for a classy cutting style. Remember, it compresses all colors into one spectrum. The light is visible, and the dark functions with it. One and the other are one. Black exists in nature and lives because of the morning.

What’s more, black and white are distinctive in color for they are simple and do not tire your sight. Everything is solid and transparent. Therefore is associated with weddings, cleanliness, and peacefulness.

Charcoal, in terms of symbols, places a model in an overall light spectrum. And just a medium variant of black. Gray color but white as its dominant it creates a focal point. On the other hand, regarding subjects is interesting. Asian associated white with the dead.   A bad omen. But then again, what the caves man wanted to portray.  As being eaten or eating the animal.
