doodle origins


'I' am growing more aware that there are many more thoughts, feelings and moods (TFM) in the unconscious parts of the mindbrain than there are in the conscious and self-conscious parts.

Fair enough, this is a subjective impression; but there is hard evidence in terms of a continuous stream of TFM passing through the attention centre.

The TFMs come from the unconscious, capture attention for a while, and then they are gone. Where do they go? Do they go back into the unconscious in a modified form or are they like flames when a fire goes out? … I have not figured that out yet.

There are 'Aha' moments when the answer to a question suddenly appears - eureka. And, at their best, musicians are in the groove, athletes are in the zone and poets take dictation from their muse. This is normally linked to a non-egoic (self-less) state of mind which is expansive, awe-some and creative. It is called flow.

My mindbrain seems hard wired to make sense of random noise (patternicity eg to see constellations in the night sky) and to reckon that every action has an agent (agenticity eg to believe that droughts are punishments from the Gods).

These days I get my jollies through leaving the unconscious agent to 'see' patterns. And the patterns
manifest as short stories (text) and doodles (graphics). My technique involves avoiding distraction and busy-ness so that the mindbrain becomes peaceful in the non-egoic way - and text and graphics emerge.

My blog is testament to unconscious activity – text and graphics. This blogpost exists to demonstrate that of which it 'speaks' graphically. A good picture is worth a thousand words. Do they say anything to you? They are divided into five main categories:

  • Faces single
  • Faces groups
  • Faces abstract
  • Abstract
  • Scenes
