Sculpture Vision

So...today I had a very strange experience which doesn't happen too often. I thought I'd share it with people who understand me more then others.... (in the journey of metal mania)
let's see if you guys think I'm crazy! I went to my Hapkido class today (martial arts) and it was very demanding physically....after class our teacher made us lay in meditation....I had a vision.( I forgot to tell her)
I don't know if it's a combination of Kevin's public commission....also some amazing fountains I've seen here or the reaction to my last sculpture but....I saw!!!....this large public fountain of a flower with plasma cut leaves...each leaf had an individual fountain with it's own pond...and people could walk through each leaf division and go under the structure of the flower...wild???or what???? I must sketch it out. What do you guys...and gals think. have I lost it????

OOOOOOOO! I LOVE IT!!!! Now your dreamin'(I Don't mean that sarcastically either!), and BIG! Stay in alignment with your excitement, and focus your attention to what you want.

We are all destined for greatness and there's room at the top for everyone...sounds like your tapping into your space. I say go for it! Visions are good...brings the desires into the state of reality.

Cheers to Wild Visions!

I think that is a great idea, the surreal way you found it very cool. I am going to take a class from Don Fogg to make an old school Katana. Know any gfood kendo classes?

Hi Jan: I agree with

Hi Jan: I agree with Jamie... before doing anything, it all has to go through our minds, be it contiously or uncountiously. In Induism, whatever you set yourself to achieve, you will, it`ll just be a matter of "time", and as this concepts relates to life, it could take a little while, a life time, or in another life...Here`s a jump to another topic, which I shall not get into. Anyway, you bet you`ll have something to do with that vision ! Hope it comes true soon for you,but don`t push it, let it be... Nelson.

Thanks Everyone!!!

Yes I will work on the sketch this weekend....I explained it to a good friend of mine whose a conceptual artist and he loved it. I attribute this vision to my talking with all of you and our interaction.....I hope I can spread that energy around to all of you! my friends....SteelyJan

my 2 cents

to add to Rick and Nick's comments....

not trying to get too weird...oh yeah, too late, anyway, i believe we are all here to do certain tasks...yes i'm talking about destiny...sometimes we get visions and dreams to remind us of where and what we are to do....when we perform those duties, tasks, what have you, that is when we are the most happy....anyway...like i said, what ever you need to do to accomplish this task, you need to build it...

so, maybe that was my 10 cents worth...sorry

Many people see visions.

Many people see visions. Some of the people can actually act on them and bring it to life. This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.
Personally, I think you are the right person to do this.

Cosmic Consciousness?

 Dear SteelyJan:

 I have a theory that is roughly discribed as; When in deep reverie (W. Reich's third level) we are effortlessly in touch with our purest, unconstrained creativity. We are seldom fully conscious while this is happening, but when we are able to remember the vision it is almost as if we are receiving an anticipatory echo of a future event. This is almost like being prescient (sensitive to future events) or artifacts as you describe. Congratulations! You have had a message from your Future Self.

Janet, I've received visions

Janet, I've received visions of sculptures while in group meditation.......I wonder if the collective energies of the folks you were with has something to do with it as well. I look forward to seeing those sketches and hearing where this takes you.......

Hi Janet, I agree with

Hi Janet, I agree with everyone, you've got to follow up on it. Anytime a concept, idea, or vision comes with that much clarity, it's very likely a good one. Plus it just sounds cool, especially the fact that people can actually walk through the piece. I've been playing with plant form designs a lot lately, and they offer so many options, I can't wait to see how it sketches up.

The whole thing sounds like real fun work to me. I wish I could help. That would be cool. I'm going to be out for a while. Can't wait for the drawing.

It's an idea from Jannets description

I re-read the post after taking a pain killer (scary I know) and scribbled out a little drawing. It's probably not even close to what you were dreaming in you head, but this is what was in mine.

If someone had come to me with no other thoughts than "I want a big fountain with big leaves and lots of water", this is the first meeting concept i would have hit them with. I do not wish to rain on or take anything from you Janet. Sometimes it a bad idea to give me a pain kilflower fountain conceptflower fountain conceptler and a pencil!

I really hope you don't take offense to this.

Hi SteelyJan,
Years ago I befriended and had the privilege of private lesson in Do-Vee-fut Kenpo Karate from the president of the SC PKA(professional karate Association). This guy had studied numerous disciplines in various countries for 30+ yrs. He held 5th to 9th degrees in 10 different disciplines. He told me stories about him and his sinsay in meditations and having visions. According to him you have channeled and focused your life energy, chee, and tapped brain/mental areas long lost to most human beings. You are obviously a very deep and focused person, continue the pursuit.

Hopefully I won't lose it ....

I had a little cog thrown into my merry little path these weekend which I won't relate right now.....but I was fighting my own depression for a day...It's nice to hear that comment by your teacher.
I really am on an art high although I was taken down a notch or two....Have some really good things happening , hope I can keep focused. SteelyJan
