Description
Birth and Death
Attach to either one and you miss It completely.
Like a Zen koan, sometimes these sculptures are intended to reach a place beyond your conscious conceptual mind. This can sometimes be disturbing at first. But if you relax and stick with it you may discover something beyond value.
Just realize that whatever you think it is, it's not that. Let go of the mind's constant attempts to understand, describe and categorize. Let it take you beyond the conceptual mind. Discover Reality free of conceptual thoughts.
As a meditation practice, I recommend simply looking at this image continually for a period of time, perhaps an hour or more.
You may notice a period of flipping, where different shapes and concepts appear one after the other. The more we let go of fixed concepts, the more this happens. You are observing your mind's habit of trying to create something familiar, much as you do with the shapes of clouds. Eventually all concepts can dissolve and what is beyond concepts appears. In this way, these images can be used as a meditation device, which is actually their purpose, although never consciously intended.
Created without concepts, it speaks to a place beyond concepts. But it takes some time for the mind to let go of its habit of creating concepts and relating to concepts and through concepts. Because there is no concept here, it presents the opportunity for the freedom beyond concepts to be realized.
