Harley Weir's works, conceived in darkness

Harley Weir's contributions to the first volume, "DIVE," from the David Lynch Foundation, are conceived in total darkness for a greater freedom of expression, mirror the richness of inner life in the depths of the Self: an abundance of creative intelligence, a field of all possibilities.

"As we dive further into the depths, far from the noise, the last frontlines of sensory perception are obliterated, revealing something new. At times, in the darkened depths of the psyche, in the complete settling down of the mind, there is seemingly nothing. Yet light, color, texture appear naturally in a meditative state. Ideas flow, full of inner secrets and alchemy. Shimmering shapes and new connections reward the fully open mind, neural pathways fire up in an awakened brain. Silent surrender, beyond emotions and intellect. Consciousness knowing itself, pure being, pure bliss. We are no longer a void, but a vessel filled with the shining light of self realization. Transcendental pure consciousness, unknown on the surface world. The ultimate reality. Beyond this seemingly chaotic river of quiet mental activity inside, we slip into the home of all creativity."
