On the Creation and Sharing of Art

Art has two purposes:

The first purpose is to express yourself. You must express yourself fully, honestly, and openly – so that you can release what is inside of you, to divulge what must be let out.

The second purpose is to share your art with others – so that you can develop connections between souls, and to enrich the lives of others when possible.

Corollary Benefits of Creating Art:

There are also important corollary benefits of creating and sharing your art.

Creating art for yourself actually allows your soul to develop. Creating your art is a method for your soul to grow. Each time you create one item of art, something that truly expresses your thoughts and feelings, your soul actually grows. Your soul evolves and expands.

For this reason alone it is good to create your art – and be truly honest with it – whenever you have the desire.

Corollary Benefits of Sharing Art:

The benefit of sharing your art is of course that you connect with other people. You connect on a deeper level - soul to soul - reaching the depths in ways that is rarely possible in regular interactions.

One person at a time, one soul at a time…your art – through its honesty and authenticity – touches that person’s soul, and in so doing, will enrich that person’s life.

Your art may indeed enrich the souls of many others and help their souls expand and evolve - perhaps as much as the act of creating the art has enriched and evolved your own soul.

The Magic in the Creation and Sharing of Art:

This is the magic of art; these are the amazing processes of art. Creating art for yourself helps you develop and expand your own soul; and at the same time, sharing your art with others may help the souls of your fellow men and women of the world.
