"Essentially an artist is someone who is expressing the mass mind or the mass subconscious mind of the people. And when the artist makes that work it's been exhibited and people recognize the spirit, or something of themselves in that work. The artist is someone who channels a force or an energy. An artist speaks to the Eternal and the archetypes and then showing that those forces even exist. The artist makes a piece of sculpture or painting and he casts that spell, that visual spell into the world. And people become energized by that and they become motivated. If you see great art or you're exposed to great music, you become energernzied, sometimes you even feel invincible. The most powerful force is to bring inspiration to someone" - Fen de Villiers

Violence is hypnotizing, be it physical or otherwise. Psychos can't have any regard for others, they are especially good in putting stuff out, they just push and push. This is seductive because we all have the innate desire to be able to do that to a lesser extent but most of us also can't compromise others in order to achieve it. That price is losing yourself and becoming the monster. Haha it seems you could say a psychopath is selfless in that regard.

I believe that we are all part of this human experience and there are similarities that emerge as a result. An example is what you have said reminds me of a poem by Charles Bukowski, You can spot them these strange ones you wont find them with the crowds but from them come the only good poems So I wholeheartedly agree with you, it is the spark of life some of us carry within us. We weep as it dims in our heart and sing as it shines.

Blake saw the reality of things through the Imagination and it is inspiring to see that this is what he remained true to, from the beginning to the end, despite neglect, failure, penury, and other earthly ills that might well have deflected him from his central purpose. "Didst close my Tongue in senseless clay, And me to Mortal Life betray. The Death of Jesus set me free: Then what have I to do with thee?"

It’s weird that so many people have to take psychedelic substances to access their own faculty of imagination. For those who already have active imaginations, it’s even weirder, but after they take all these substances they suddenly understand the way you’ve always seen the world. Then even more weirdly they remain convinced and try to convince you that you need to take the same substances to fully grasp reality. It’s like it’s impossible for people to realize there are still some people around whose psyches aren’t crippled to the same extent.

LOVE this channel and all your topics. 💕

The painting of The Spectre over Los immediately called out to me and reflected some issues in me that I've been having with work.

Thank you for struggling before I had to so you could help me with these thoughts. I hope to pay it forward to the next guy, somehow. Thank God some people are kind enough and imaginative and willed enough to put their human experience down for others through art and poetry. It's incredible that people who lived so long ago can make us feel such catharsis through space and time.

Thank you for giving William Blake some much needed respected attention. He was way ahead of his time and a major inspiration to me. Great video!

thanks for all the information, really interesting to learn about Blakes' philosophy and life, especially since he is so underappreciated!

This was excellent. The images and excerpts of Blake's work were well-selected; the narration cleanly written and voiced; the editing and pace superb. Thank you so much. I took a course in Romantic poetry as an undergraduate, loved the course, but was drawn to Wordsworth and Shelley and Keats; not so much Blake. His poetry hit me differently as an (almost) old man. Some of his visual artwork is fantastic, too. His overall vision was a celebration of the imagination. That is certainly something to celebrate.
