I love listening when I'm stuck as an artist

5:04 - The shaman is the figure at the beginning of human history that unites the doctor, the scientist and the artist into a single notion of caregiving and creativity, and I think that to whatever degree art over the past several centuries has wondered in the desert, it is because this shamanic function has been either suppressed or forgotten, and different images of the artist have been held up at different times.

20:34 - Shamans in all times and places gained their power through relationships with helping spirits, which they sometimes call ancestors, sometimes call nature spirits, but somehow the acquisition of a relationship to a disincarnate intelligence is the precondition for authentic shamanism. Now nowhere in our world do we have an institution like that that we do not consider pathological except in the now very thinly spread tradition of the muse that artists alone among human beings are given permission to talk in terms of my inspiration or a voice which told me to do this or a vision that must be realized. The thin line, the thin thread of shamanic descent into our profane world leads through the office of the artist.

24:29 - I love to dig at the yogans by saying nobody ever went into an ashram with their knees knocking in fear over the tremendous dimension they know they were about to enter through meditation. Still more true and more sad is the notion that very few of us pick up our sculpting tools or our airbrush with our knees knocking with fear because we know we are invoking and acting with the muse at our elbow and somehow I think the artists need to recover this sense of mystery.

I love this.... Terence at his artistic and poetic best. Lured onwards by the same hyper organising force that Elon Musk feels but can't articulate with words.
