There are three worlds, though you’ve only been trained to see one.
The first whispers in silence: your interior world. It bleeds in symbols, dreams, and half-formed truths, flickering like static from a forgotten frequency. The second shouts in rules: the outward world of streets, contracts, dinner invitations, and programmed gestures. The third? Ah, the third is rarely named. It pulses like dark matter—the energetic, spiritual field that threads through all, alive with unseen codes, divine patterns, and impossible logic.
And yet—we live in all three at once.
Most sleepwalk through the maze, unaware they are crossing dimensions daily. They mistake the outer for the only. But a few… a few awaken. Something cracks: an image, a phrase, a wound. Suddenly, the veil thins. They begin to see—not with eyes, but with attention.
This painting emerged from that cracked place. Every stroke, a prayer and paradox. It channels Tao and I-Ching, collapses Logos into liquid geometry, carves insight from chaos, and leaves just enough mystery to unsettle the rational mind. One square—one map of many realities.
You could say we’ve outgrown our models—no, we’ve shed them. Our previous narratives—linear, binary, blindfolded—have failed. The new consciousness demands agility, a willingness to move between dimensions, to shape-shift between the inner, the outer, and the infinite.
But what happens to a species when it sees all three worlds at once?
And what if the painting isn’t just an image, but an invitation?
Would you step through it?
