Description
IV. Archetype : the MysticPerhaps no archetype is more coveted or more misunderstood than the Mystic. Many want to believe that they have mystical inclinations, yet underestimate how arduous the genuine mystical path is. When they find out, they're usually happy to let someone else have this role. The lives of the world's great mystics often included extraordinary states of consciousness such as prolonged ecstatic trance, and preternatural abilities of precognition or bilocation. Yet they also contained sometimes great physical as well as spiritual suffering, hard work, and mundane activities that made up much of their days. If you truly want to name this archetype as part of your sacred consortium, ask yourself if you are ready to pay the price in blood, sweat, and tears. If mystical consciousness is something you engage in once a day during meditation, or on a weekend retreat or a yoga workshop, you may be a spiritual seeker, but not a Mystic.

i think your vision is fabulous...and it is YOUR vision
it is a personal inspiration...which is what art
is suppose to be......so if someone doesnt see it
with the same eye...well then let them make their
own.....who cares.
great work
^..^

It is interesting to see how people interpret my eye, or any art for as far as that goes. But I must agree.

I really like how the background overlaps in some places. It keeps me staring. And the entire piece as a whole is like a snapshot of an intense mind-trip. The background alone is beautiful, really fantastic piece.
I like that you informed us with the text, but like ~khog I would like to hear you're points of view on the subject. As for passing through candyland, hmmmm

this is going to be a harsh critique.
i want more suffering depicted in my mystics. the road to enlightenment does not pass through candyland.
also, i'd rather hear what you think about these archetypes than what someone else wrote (i am presuming that that isn't your text). my guess is that your spin would be a lot more interesting.
harsh toke.

well now, 1st off no it is not my text I have taken from [link] who took it from [link] so it's been passed around a bit. As for my take on all this, I didn't think it would be as interesting and not nearly as well worded. Prehaps I should have stated this to begin with, to this effect I make all apologies. 2ed, I know very well were the road to enlightenment goes, no it is not candyland as you put it. What you see is the end result, the mysic in enlightenment. As depicted by the rays and the all seeing eye. not all that harsh, you could have said "this sucks, give up while you're ahead". not that would be harsh and would hurt. I but so much of myself in to my work.
