Today I want to share a book that has a great influence on me.” The ARTIST’S WAY A Spiritual Path to Higher creativity”
When I create, I often criticize myself, which prevents me from moving forward.
This book, which I read a few years ago, created a safe door between me and self-criticism.
Julia Cameron taught two methods.
The first is to write morning essays every day, Only through dialogue with myself, the emotions in my heart will be released. In the process of writing, What is important to discover in the subtleties. Slowly it seemed that someone in the maze was pointing the way out.
Another important point is one's art travel. Whether it is a few hours or a day, you can be nourished inside, without interruption in the process, besides quietly appreciating the work, it is an excellent time for self-recovery
I use these methods to help me through the creative difficulties, and also share with you.
有一本書對我影響很大,(創作是心靈療癒的旅程)
創作很像在荒漠中步行,那是一個近乎灰白,空無一物的宇宙,必須拉出自己的想像力樹幹,以樹藤固定,再覆上樹葉及枝條,可以做暫做棲息之所。
這裡有白天及黑夜,它常被白霧籠罩,要攫取心中的想法即使如漁夫日夜灑網,或蜂鳥振趐覓食,仍不得其領,偶有斬獲,常被內心的批判者三振出局。
要對抗心中的第三者,必須和它和諧相處。它擁有絕對的力量,拿著金剛鎚在你的創作基地來回揮舞,例如它會慫恿你把剛貼上網的圖下架、將費了九牛二虎之力才完成的拚貼丟到垃圾桶,抑或是把在創意萌芽期即斬草除根。我受它的擺佈在創作第一天就如影隨形.像極了美麗境界這部電影中與羅素克洛的對話的那位虛擬人物。
我並不討厭它,或者有了它我才能做得更好,但它不能越距,像墨汁般染黑了宇宙,那時就陷入無盡的冰域將努力一掃而空。
幾年前讀到的這本書,為我和第三者之間劃清了界限,築起了一道安全門,就變得自在多了,也可以持續在這條路上前進,明白創作人必須死在這條路上,這樣說太嚴重了,應該說的是持續創作沒有終點,是每位個追尋藝術者的唯一道途。
作者茱莉亞 卡麥隆教了二個方法,第一是每天寫晨間隨筆,只有透過與自己的對話,心中的情緒都會被釋放出來,在書寫的過程中,由細微處發現什麼才是重要的。慢慢的好像在迷宮中有人指引路出口在何處。另一個重點是一個人的藝術旅行。無論是幾個小時或是一天,都可以讓你內在的得到滋養,在過程中沒有其他的打擾,除了靜靜欣賞作品之外,是一種自我復原的絕佳時刻。
把這些方法實際施行,成效滿意。但人終究會有一種慣性,又回到了一些原點,不過沒關係,這不是特效藥,必須常常服用。只要不刻意批評自己,接受每個在創作時不完美的表現,讓我的創作工作持續進行,我就超級大開心了。
