An Idea that the world that exist for you exists only within the context and content of your own brain.

It is known that our relationships with people, objects and places are what make up our decisions on how we interact with them.

It is also know, therefore, that the brain builds on previous experiences to guess at what may be coming next. All the while, unless one is able to exist within the present, you exist within the context of your own mind.

These illustrations, and now book, were created to tackle the issues and tasks surrounding being unable to centre oneself in the present moment. What would it take for someone, with a western background, to be able to centre themselves, and remain there? could it be done? should it be done?

It is said, by many philosophers and psychologists alike, Nietzsche and Jung included,   that self-actualisation is of the highest achievement that any one man, woman or child can make. But at what cost?

To face all ideas of what you think the world may be.

To face all ideas of what you think you may be.

To put oneself under the spotlight in such way that you cannot escape your own blinding light.

Should you? 

Should you even try? 

Should you try to escape or should you sit back in awe of yourself? that it is possible to have so many variations of your own ego and views on them

It may lead to the sacrificing of something you thought you needed, or perhaps something you never knew you had. The only way to gain anything new in this world is to give something else up. Coming to terms with the idea, that in some abstracted way, the power was inside yourself all along.

Coming to terms with such ideas is bound to open up something much deeper, something you never would have seen if your thoughts were structured to remain shallow in the face of both the conscious and unconscious mind.

But that you may just be the person you need to be able to take yourself out of these deep waters, if only you could believe in yourself for long enough.
