celebrating the art of paradox

delving into the wisdom of absurdity in whimsical way
this blog is about paradox.
through my questions, i hope to encounter the paradox within belief, that place where there is not one answer but many contradictory ones.
each question, each drawing is an invitation to join me in allowing what appears absurd to take us to a wisdom beyond linear thinking.
as long as we question, we are free. free to see, to feel and to express who we are. and to connect collaboratively with one another.

"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

is your mental image what you want it to be, or what you really are?
possibly, neither.
or both......
That is real...or my mind :)...
Whether the mirrors or my mind's eyes are real ??
and if i believe either is real?
sorry, s.a., your first comment was sent to spam and i just found it.......
if i believe the image in my mind's eye is real, is it?
Guess i will rather both are not real :)...because the real ....is the object that i could feel and touch :)
so many images, so many options.
would the real image.....the one felt and touched.....would it change? would it seem different if the sun shone on it and it was warm to the touch? or washed with rain falling from the sky?
After the sun shone, and rain washed .....the image changes .....would it mean we would fashion the amount of sun shone and rain wash...to create the image of our mind's eyes to look like it is being reflected in the mirror ??
i do like this!
is what we see....the image in our mind's eye?
doesn't quantum physics say that we influence what we see?
That depends on where the mirrors are, but I would think you might feel somewhat surrounded by yourself, being surrounded by yourself, being surrouned by yourself, ad nauseum.
"doesn't quantum physics say that we influence what we see?"
Not sure, but it does make sence.
I think Reality = Cause + Effect.
a., i like this....
so what is cause minus effect?
and if i were surrounded by myself ad nauseum, would i lose sight of myself?
"so what is cause minus effect?"
Not reality.
so is cause and what appears to be effect...reality?
