Subject: [K-list] Salvador Dali and Kundalini?
From: Shadowspace
On 2001/11/17 09:48, Shadowspace posted thus to the K-list: When I look at a lot of Dali's paintings, I tend to feel something like K
flooding my limbs. They're externally impossible but in my mind,
completely plausible. Surrealism's roots are fixed in reality, because if
reality's formula suddenly got warped in exactly the right way, all
normal art would be surrealism and all surrealist works would be realism.
Dali underwent outbursts of intense laughter in his earlier days,
accompanied by twitching. He had strange daydreams, like one in which he
fantasized without a sense of symbolism about carefully hollowing out a
loaf of bread to make a sort of vase, and then chewing up the entire
thing to make a fine paste. I think that probably this was a vision where
the differences between the genders were broken down and mingled. The
meaning? I don't know. I doubt Dali was sure.
Very possible that Dali underwent an aesthetically driven K awakening,
in my mind. "I, who wished to read the book of the world and the book of my own
nature, did presume to despise the letters and signs. I called the world
of appearances, illusion. I called my eyes and tongue, chance. Now it is
over; I have awakened. I have indeed awakened and have only been born
today."
"So good to see you. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you
play...why are you running away?"
