Thank you. It never occured to me that I should analyze the lives of artists to understand the mind-patterns.

In my consultation with Stewart, when we discussed my music, he told me that it has to come from Within. When it is something you FEEL in yourself, then it does not matter what anyone else thinks.
Rather than consider yourself a better artist for how you nfluence others, consider yourself an artist when you express yourself in a way that feels correct for you, and moves something from within your mind/heart into the world in a unique way.
Writing is an artform - so contribution to forums is practice in art!
I disagree that people cannot become genius level just by working on their drawings etc. by themselves. This is actually exactly how 'genius' is formed!!! You observe self and environment, and try many different things, until your own style starts to emerge. Soemtimes you have get some 'stuff' out of your system first.
My mother has a 'doodle' book, where she randomly draws designs etc. She does not feel artistic, but it a form of self-expression for her own peace and enjoyment.
In my singing I had 8 years of classical training. Then, I quit all of this, and started working with hyperspace ideas and toning to see if I could be a better singer that way. For two years I have gradually opened up my voice in remarkable ways through screaming, yelling, toning, laughing, writing affirmations, using colour and archetypes, thinking about how the chakra system is related to singing (i.e. the mind-patterns of the physical body parts involved in singing), quietly thinking and thinking, watching children and how they talk and express themselves, deprogramming, writing and communicating with like-minded people, mentally releasing blocked energy from my throat and heart, learning about my deepest emotions so I can be comfortable showing them, loving and hating things and people, practicing ROARRRRing like a lion (really!), making Dolphin, Wolf, and Bear sounds too, listening to the wind in the trees and water on the beach and wondering if I can make those sounds too, trying sounds that are outside conventional tonality, listening to music for hours every day, writing poems about my experiences, overcoing my fear of creating melodies to go with them, learning to listen within to find the words and music I need, working with Oversoul, talking to God-Mind...........
Immerse yourself in what you LOVE. You don't have to have an output at first. I did not sing at all for 5 months. I just listened and did mental release work from my voice. Then I wrote a series of affirmation to open up my abilities, and the result in the next fortnight was astounding.
I have many ideas these days about anmal frequencies, voice accents, language learning, music programming/deprogramming, and therapy etc. Soon, I am gonig to be holding some music classes for children based on them needing a space for unqie self-expression i.e. to find their VOICE.
In my artwork, I am not hugely prolific either - only one or two pieces ever couple of months. I paint when I FEEL like it.
Just let the world show you it's own art, and you'll find what lies within. Don't stress about what effect you should have, or what level you shod reach. It is a journey of self-discovery.
Open your eyes, and you'll see. Watch how colours in nature mingle together, how sunsets light up the world, how broken sidewalks creating interesting patterns, rust on cars contrasts with the finish.... observe all the colours and textures around you. That is the most basic introduction creating artwork: colour/texture. Making recognisable forms is not compulsory, and that can develop in time in a personal manner anyway.
Just relax and let it flow... :D

When I was younger I wanted to play the piano, I could not understand it. I could play notes, then chords, but I just couldnt understand how the keyboard worked. So I moved onto guitar, at first I didnt understand that either, but i kept after it. I just kept playing the guitar, I dont really learn other people songs, I just play my songs. It makes my heart swell up. Just keep playing what you love! Do you love painting? Do you love Drawing, or photoshop or thinking or music? Start now and you will look back one day and say "at first i didnt know how to play or sing or draw, but now i do"... Now im gonna go read what Monica wrote again and maybe some day..............

SI, the drive to make great art is shared I would guess by everyone who creates. If one is not careful though that desire to make something awe-inspiring will turn into a paralysis of fear when faced with a blank page or canvas. You must give yourself permission to practice.
If you look at each of the great artists, they did do practice sketches,they have works they gave up on, and some of their finished paintings are simply not as good as others. Also, when you read about some artists talking about various works they will refer to the lucky mistake, that chance thing you don't plan that happens and makes a work distictive and better than it would have been if it had been executed to perfection.
I used to be very judgemental about art I would see hanging places and think "Ugh, how can someone pay that much for that?" or "Wow, I will never make anything as good as that". Now, though, I think that the act of doing it is really what matters. Why else would be surrounded by so much culture-chatter about how difficult making big bucks with art is, and how "real" art is really for a selected special few? One thing is true in all of it: if we never pick up the brush, or pencil, or instrument, or whatever, then nothing is certain to happen.
The act of doing should show you the mind pattern you are looking for.

Thank you everone. I hope in another lifetime that I am talented in the right-brain expressive artforms. In this lifetime, I don't have the active genetics or interests even though I really want to experience this genius faculty of stream of thought in art and the power of it to sway someone's emotions. Somethings are just stupid genetics. I want to experience it, but I can't make myself love it enough as I was not exposed to it by my boring parents. That, and that art is not in our heritage. So I must learn to be apathetic about this.

Thank you haven. I hope my future selves will be grateful for the kind of frustration I'm going through. :mad2:
lots of lessons lately frieends.
for one, no matter what, keep going.
if old sabotage seems to go right in your face even after you release it, look that energy right in the eye and imnprint it your way, you might as well. do not communicate with anyone that's getting in your way, it only gets more annoying.
keep going at yourself, at others in mind through your oversoul regardless of how they are thinking. that'll stop them from thinking they can do that. do not feel like you should be doing "the right thing". do only what's right for you, inside, no matter what. the will be forced to change if all they are is an imcumberance.
dinally let everythign that's negative fall awy, release to oversoul. relationships ovccur on a variety of level. including in things as small as ideas and thoughts to people and places and things. just like god mind compartmentalizes ideas you can ley compatymenyalizations fall away/out.
so nehative thougths about you, vibratory imprints habit responses.... basically anythign getting in your way.
i created a bunch before , based off interferance from programmers and handlers. they can just fall away too. make sure you son't buy that "believe in yourself" stuff, you alreafy fo. might as well accept that.
gold aleph.

, but I will try. The desire for this could mean you have begun a mind pattern or have an existing one for it and maybe as you journey along it will manifest fully within you, or be activated fully.
