Thought Forming

Tonight I completed the drawing I've been working on for quite some
time. It is called "Thought Forming" and is 13.5" x 16.5". I have to
admit I've become somewhat attached to this piece since it took,
(yes) quite a bit of thought! I was curious about the center point
since (in the very beginning of the drawing) it seemed
infinitesimally small. As the drawing developed, I began to see some
opportunities to define many paths away from center AND which were
all contiguous or connected. I wanted to see if there was a way to
depict the nature of a single thought -- as represented by an ever
increasing flow of "activity" somehow coming together to form highly
complex centers of "attention" -- from which decisions and / or
actions (or reactions) form. This imaginary graphic representation
of the deepest aspect of brain activity is in one sense real, and in
another impossible to show -- since it's likely best represented in
neuro-chemical reactions involving far more "parts" than I could
probably show. In reality there are likely many more millions of
"dots" or reactions than I have represented here. I wanted to also
PATTERN the process of forming a thought by having a focus or
intention -- a logic to the thought. The way I attempted to do this
was to create a series of four hubs or "logic centers" into which
all parts of the forming thought would "travel." The most developed
logic centers are found just outside the series of 20 very dark
central "network" areas. Specifically, they are located at about the
6:00, the 7:30 and the 9:00 position. At the 7:00 position and just
within the outer border (above the six exit points) there is what I
like to think of as a central integration point or point of
assimilation. I also developed what I like to think of as a "trunk
line" or peripheral winding storage line for all that is needed to
"feed" or nurture the thought. There are approximately 42 points of
entry (from the center-most thought's "beginning" point) to this
large trunk line. At the lower left, the perfectly formed thought is
compiled and then released in a natural split second process. Again,
this complex representation is just one of billions like it --- each
of which is influenced by those others generated around it. In
reality there must be layers upon layers of "influence" going back
in time even before our birth. The mind is a universe of physical
and chemical patterns each having inter-related energies and
outcomes. Someone asked me what a thought was early this week. My
answer (which I must say was surprising to the person I was
answering) was that it was "a manifestation of dependent
conditions." If I were to go so far as to define weather THIS
thought was a good one or a poor one, I would say it was a good one.
Why? Because the completed thought looks pretty "free-flowing" as it
goes out into the universe! All the parts of it seem aligned and
evenly spaced also. All images are below the images numbers and
descriptive text.

This first image is a detailed view of the upper-left corner showing
the entry ports for the main "trunk line" which carries information
bi-directionally.  This main line's exit point(s) are found in image
10.

Upper-right detail showing similar entry points originating from the
center.

Middle-right and center "channeling connections" leading to the
trunk line.

This image shows the middle-left "processing hub."



Image 5 of 10 - "Thought Forming" 

Here we see the middle and lower-left central processing hubs.  The
trunk line exit detail is also shown.



Image 6 of 10 - "Thought Forming" 

This is the center's "network" detail and the lower (6:00 position)
central processing hub detail.  Related (filtering) processing areas
(not hubs) are to the right showing transfer to the main
bi-directional "trunk line."

Similar to image 6 but showing the signature.



Image 8 of 10 - "Thought Forming" 

Full detail of both trunk line exit points. Six release points
carrying related and organized information are shown after
processing.
