Life as an expression of art

I've fully engrossed myself in a practice the effect of which has been a state of consciousness that I can only describe as God-like.

Without giving up the game for the rest of you, let me explain briefly how I came upon this practice. It began with me entering fully into the realm of Void. As I embraced this state of nothingness I began to feel deeply that which I already knew on an intellectual level; that I am constantly creating my own universe.

This revelation brought with it an understanding of my artistic nature. I've always thought of myself as an artist(specifically a poet), but never understood what my true medium is until I reached the Creator state. I then understood that what I create are people and oh my do I love marveling at all my creations. My art is to create beautiful images of those I encounter and the effect is that those accepting my art are then able to create themselves through me.

The method of this particular practice has been to view everything and everyone I see as art including myself. I've begun viewing my life as performance art and all I see and everyone I meet as an artistic expression of my own consciousness. this has caused such a blissful state that I find myself constantly laughing for no apparent reason. I no longer view the darkness in others as something to be remedied. I see it now as a beautiful piece of their own performance.

When I am in the creative process I start to marvel at all of my surroundings and become fully engaged in what I can only describe as a game of "Hide and Seek". If I come across some thing or situation I would have once considered an obstacle, I instead embark upon a game to find out why I created it and through that game I have always discovered my creation is in keeping with my conscious purpose. I've been guided solely by my intuition and I've let my thoughts take a break from being the guiding force in my life. So more artful is my creation since taking this approach that I intend to make this switch permanent. I am leaving the door open to the possibility of reverting to my old method so that I'll get to discover all this again. I doubt though, that I will tire of creating because it has such a glorious effect.
