The self-conscious self on the other side of the subconscious has a freer hand in the creation of your dreams, since you are the only personality to whom they must be comprehensible. The camouflage world must be dependable, therefore you do not have such individualistic freedom.
Those who have extremely strong hidden self-conscious selves have the need for greater use of individuality, and these people therefore create what could be called another plane in waking hours, through the use of art forms.
In the creation of art forms, both self-consciousnesses are allowed with certain reservations to work together. The subconscious channel between them is allowed to open to a great degree. The product of such merging is extremely individualistic, and yet more comprehensible to others than say a fragment from the dream world.”
…“The act of artistic creation is therefore one to study, since it involves the intricate workings of the dual self-consciousnesses of one personality, inner data being transformed through the subconscious and greater individuality being made possible because of this.
You were quite correct, Joseph, in your feeling that art created another plane, and now let me hit you with this one: that the paintings of an artist to some degree have a consciousness of their own, not imprisoned either by the form itself.”
…“Art creation is a most basic creation then, not even a mimicking act but a genuine creation of another plane, done self-consciously from the perspective of an imprisoning camouflage pattern. Quite an achievement, therefore.”
