and as well to:

Well, that is my question partly. I feel it takes a lot before art really changes something within and then it's hard to know what it really changes. I feel that if I'd go into communication directly to people I'd communicate faster and more effectively. Yet I feel sometimes that "a way of being" communicates itself very fast as well. It's hard to make out, hard to predict, as it communicates on different layers at the same time. And people in this way could change only after a few months, when the unconscience has processed what was shown. I myself for instance can all of a sudden "incorporate" a way of moving I saw months ago, without having practiced it.
And I have a fear, a restlessness, which would maybe calm down when I'd go into third-world aid, as I'd know right then I'm really on the right track. Art is so complicated it is very hard to measure it's effects and by the effect its usefullness.
I'm also restless, because I don't have a fixed income. Maybe I should practice the laws of attraction
And then there is the social fear, the fear of rejection, my ability of being totally disorganized, but there I feel very happy to have encountered your site.
Partly through reading Carlos Castaneda I got to know "magic" which sometimes frightens me as well. Using this through art could make powerfull things happen, but sometimes I'm afraid I'd do damage to the world. I'll make a post later to clarify this. Let's say I'm wondering about, searching for the limits of this special application in art. Between wonder and worry.
It is a stressful search for me. I feel bit by bit I can get closer. Sometimes I completely loose faith in ever finding, but more and more something starts to show...
