as we become closer to the one, will our individuality start to fall away in the 4d world?

i'm pretty much a two track person, a spiritual seeker of truth and an artist.

i'm around the half way point of my life and i've spent most of my adult life with the desire to be a great artist, i've worked hard and daydreamed and it has become my identity.

will this artist identity no longer be as important as say being a farmer or a parent or some more normal, more earth friendly pursuit after the change?

if art is your true ambition, your true calling, it will stay, because it is part of you emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. but if it is not who you truly are, and who you are destined to be, it may leave you as you evolve, it may not. but the choice will always be yours because you control your own path, and your own evolution. we are all one being, and are connected more deeply then we can comprehend...

you'll still be creative and artistic, but in new and fascinating ways. i think we'll all manifest new talents as the ego identity falls away and the soul/higher self energy flows more freely through us.

that is the energy of creation, so more people will create wonderful art, and *you* will create new amazing art that will probably amaze even you. just remember to not let your ego take credit for the art. :-)

love,

as the creative powers that be, create experience which feeds back onto itself, creativity is the key attribute of the created consciousness. that means that creativity of all kinds is an honored attribute and that is through what ever media one wishes to create with what ever sensory channel or combination of channels one would like. an artist is always close to "god" because they both are continuously creating!!!

i hope this will really help you...
if you want further explanation, i'd be totally happy to elborate!

i'm a very serious musician, and my entire 10+ years of music lead up to this realization i had about 2 weeks ago.

this is not easy to put succinctly...

look at the difference between music in recent times and music as it's always been. so many people if you ask them what music is, they will say something relating to commercial music. commercial music is almost completely about approval seeking. really think about how true that is... all of the people trying to start bands and make records. what are they doing? i'm not saying it's total selfishness and negativity, but there's a lot of underlying feelings of "i need to be good so people give me compliments".

music in the pure sense, the ancient sense, is a personal thing. like a tool. one doesn't create it to get people to like them (really look at how many people do that). music, in this sense, can mean so many different things, all very much in the realm of service to others rather than self.

of course you can relate this concept to art in general rather than just music.
try this exercise: make a list, over the course of several days or weeks. list all of the things "art is" that have to do with serving others and if you like, the creator. also, you can include things that make you happy as long as it's not about seeking approval (for example, i have a musical ritual i do that is used to generally prepare me for something, a prayer, meditation, important meeting etc.)

you can start everything on the list with the phrase: art is
here are some things from my list. (i use music is)
- music is something that helps people let-out and deal-with their sadness and pain
- music is played at a wedding to bring people together
- music is what i use to prepare my mind and heart
- music is used to heal
- music is sung/played by a group of people to strengthen unity
- music is a way of communicating feelings beyond words
- music is a tool for connecting with the divine

considering all of this, is there any question that art will be present in the 4d world? :d

the only difference is that art/music will not be about seeking approval. and why would anyone want to keep that part anyways? i've already begun to let it go, and everybody can do that, as soon as they realize this truth i've just attempted to explain.

in short, all of the pure things about art will remain, just as the pure things about communication will remain.
by "pure" i basically mean, service-to-others-oriented.

again, if you want to discuss this further, i'd be very happy to do so :d

i definately think there will be (there will need to be) artists in the 4d+ world. as i wrote in my other post ... i'm a med student right now ... and ummmmmmm and if dw is right in saying we'll all have instant healing ... uhhhhhh ... my 4d a$$ is outta job.
