There is a video of a young Bob Marley who looks absolutely green and terrified. He's a man who is terrified of his appeared image rather than who he really is. This is Bob as a low man; inward facing and closed.

Here is Bob playing in the afternoon out of fear that he'd start a riot. His eyes are closed to the audience, he disregards the lyrics at the start to tell everyone that they have the answer and he has his head tilted to the sky with a look of bliss. This is divine Marley; open to the heavens and lit from the inside. Excellent Marley.

This is why Bob Marley was so great- he taught people to believe in themselves and follow inner guidance. The same is true of art. You could look at a certain favorite painting and put yourself in an altered state. I had to learn how to do this consciously, which is why I can write about it. I know how to get to that place. Metacognative tricks that allow me to wiggle my way into any part of the machine.

Three people expressed interest in buying the first gourd I've carved. I wonder which avenue fits my expression best? Perhaps all of them if I try it.
