ARTIST’S CREED

Video posted to YouTube by Jan Phillips.

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness. Eckhart Tolle.

This resonates for me as I know it must for other creative beings. (Aren’t we all?) I do believe that art comes from sacred space, that doing art is a meditation, and that our art comes through us not from us.

The poem was written by Jan Phillips. Link HERE to her website.

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page. View All Posts

I like this artist’s creed. It gave me goose bumps as I listened.
