Becoming More Conscious

The more conscious we become, the more we see the games that other people play and their sins and manipulations, but we’re also more conscious of their burdens and sorrows. –Scott Peck

Although I couldn’t name it for many years, in painting I encountered the power of the inner critic to control and limit my life. This force that counters the desire to create is within each of us. Generally the critic doesn’t appear in full force until you are in a situation where you have the opportunity to do what you want, something important, and self-chosen, something with risk.
