Neurotika -Balance.

By bruceray | Published: May 3, 2012

I do not separate art from life.   Art is not a desperate act of madness or of isolation.  The artist is someone who is able to combine their craft with a positive state of mind.  Vincent Van Goh was a success in his inspiration -but in living itself -he was a failure. Read More »

Neurotika – Fusion.

By bruceray | Published: March 28, 2012

‘It has never been my inclination to separate art from politics.’  -Pablo Neruda.  I believe that there are no contradictions in life.  We live on the floating islands of perception -we assume that our opinion is a weapon -to reconcile is heresy.  But in the ideal of Fusion -all things become one.  Read More »

Neurotika – I’ Labyrinth.

By bruceray | Published: February 27, 2012

In the beginning I was born in a midst of a river-stream.  In this progression of events I was brought forth -from the past to the future.  But in reality -there is no time.  The past and future are both illusions -made up by the conscious mind.   We assume we are involved in a series of events -but in actuality we are in the centre of a moment -that stretches out into eternity.

Neurotika -On Strangeness.

By bruceray | Published: February 11, 2012

I believe that art is an expression of the strangeness of life. In literature, art and music -we express the marvellous nature of existence. It is sometimes said by critics that realism is the ultimate expression of man -that fantasy is at it’s best a distraction -and an escape from the ordinary. Read More »

Neurotika -Biting the Devil.

By bruceray | Published: January 27, 2012

In every life -we come to a moment of crisis. This is the time -when we must either grow or die. Sometimes it’s a matter of karma or decision. We are bogged down or stranded on a hill. We are then known to have a mental illness -in all the scientific terms. It is said that this is a biological imperative -or a disease of the spirit. Read More »

Neurotika: The Tyrannny of Equality

By bruceray | Published: December 16, 2011

They who cut off heads and shorten tongues -say ‘All is Equal.’ In this way we fulfill the function of society -to have a level clearing field. But even so a certain tyranny is affected. This is the movement of the grinding wheel -and is often a process of making things smaller. Anyone who aspires to more than just mediocrity is suppressed. Read More »
