Integral Photographic Art

From homogeneity (fusion) to polarization into fragments (differentiation) is the encroaching movement of life.

Stacked ascending spiral levels of order (grounded integration) is the evolutionary movement of spirit.

Feeling is superior to thought because it tracks the infinitely detailed territory, moment to moment (interaction with [reception from] the immanent physical universe, full-spectrum). Thought is comparatively crystallized/rigid, insensitive, stuck and dead, and can interfere with the living flow and mindfulness of true healthy fullness and freedom in feeling (ALIVE / stupid).

Thought is superior to feeling because it opens up more worldspaces of potential and multi-dimensionality (interaction with [creation in] the transcendent inner universe, full-spectrum). Feeling is comparatively one-dimensional, a body-mind reptilian brain stem emotional impulse, which we must keep in our self-awareness to minimize unreasonable bias in thought (INTELLIGENT / dead).

ALIVE / stupid and INTELLIGENT / dead can synthesize and integrate into INTELLIGENT / ALIVE that is mindful of stupid / dead tendencies. This is the essence of my art.                                                                             -Eliot
