Description
I have recently been inspired to create this using a digital medium after a conversation I had with a friend. Having read M Scott Peck's books ‘The Road Less Travelled’ and ‘People Of The Lie’ many years ago in my search for the truth, and in order to create a healthy balance in my life, I learned about the way people create and foster convenient untruths in order to avoid the necessary conscious pain and suffering involved in facing the truth of their lives, life and relationships. This is often the pattern of dysfunctional families and those in co-dependent relationships as well as so obvious in our relative political arenas.
And then of course it's often the difference between being conscious or unconscious from a Jungian perspective. So much is involved in this statement! So much I have learned in my long life and above all I have learned the value of being truthful with oneself when it comes to relationships with others and especially with ourselves.
Eventually things that are buried 'out of site and out of mind' don't disappear just because they make us feel uncomfortable, but rather resurface through our children or others and/or through ourselves, manifesting as some kind of physical or mental health issue or illness.
Eventually we have to learn to face the truth of who we are and why we are here in this life. This is part of our calling as human beings and in this life that we have been blessed with; and the more we try to deny this the more uncomfortable and painful the consequences of this denial will be for us and as importantly for our loved ones. And the more we lie to ourselves the crazier our lives will become.
"And the truth shall set you free"......comes to mind and also applies here and it’s one of my favourite sayings.
The wording of this artwork has been inspired through my respect and understanding of various different philosophies and not limited by any in the process. One will read into this what every one wishes and the understanding will be coloured by their own inner intent.
