What does an artist "do", regardless of medium?
Artists use their work to discover the world. Their work serves as both a window and a mirror…provides a view "into" reality…and reflects the artist back to themselves…providing a means of discovery as well as self discovery.
Reality is a mystery. Human artists probe this mystery via their work.
Maybe God does the same thing. Maybe God is an artist and our universe…our reality…is ONE of his/her works…a work through which God…IT…discovers ITSELF.
This GodArt is "made" of GodStuff. Everything, including us, is made of God. "You" and everyone else is a unique work of fine GodArt. The medium is reality-play itself…part theater, part novel, part movie, part dance, part kinetic sculpture…etc. "You" are a fictitious character in all this…dreamed up and "written" by God. You are made of consciousness, intelligence, imagination, creativity itself…GodStuff.
You are also made of paradox. You are, at once, an individual piece of work and a "finger on God's hand". You are you and you are God being you.
All of this has been said before, perhaps in slightly different terms. A wide variety of metaphors have been used as pointers toward non-dual awareness…the dream, the movie, the puppet, waves in the ocean, etc.
Words notoriously fail but are offered in different combinations again and again, which is not a bad thing, because if some particular description of the "nature of things" resonates and "wakes up" even one reader, the myriad attempts are worth it.
