~Church_of_the_Artist
I am Lone.Companion
The Church of the Artist is a group for those who make their own mythologies, their own spiritual or religious ways of life, or their own spiritual philosophies. And for anyone else interested in such things. It is a "church" because it is a coming together of people for a spiritual purpose, and it is of the "Artist," for these people /create/ their own spirituality.
This is a spirituality centered on blending Reality and Fiction. The real Artist has a spiritual relationship with the fictional Characters it creates. One main goal of life is to make reality more fictional, and the fictional more real; reality is to be played with and made fun and interesting (maybe cartoon-like, surreal, dramatic, epic -- whatever your fictional style is), and fictional things are to be given as much independent life from the artist as possible -- to make them as real as possible. Dreams are a strong mixture of reality and fiction.
This is also a group for Mysticism in general. I consider this described above to be one mystical tradition. This is my personal church or sect of mysticism.
"Mysticism is the pursuit of communion with, identity with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, instinct or insight. Mysticism usually centers on practices intended to nurture those experiences. Mysticism may be dualistic, maintaining a distinction between the self and the divine, or may be nondualistic."
"Mysticism can be distinguished from ordinary religious belief by its emphasis on the direct personal experience of unique states of consciousness, particularly those of a transcendentally blissful character."
