Common Pattern of Perception

“In the thick of our views exists a common pattern of perception…. the pattern is a weave of united processes. We now need to see this ‘weave’ in the human nervous system and the cosmos’s system alike. The wider and sharper our vision becomes – and the more flexible our definitions of these systems become – the more the conceptual boundaries between the beholder (brain) and the beheld (universe) will overlap.”   

–Todd Siler (American Visual Artist, Educator, Inventor and Author, 1953-)

Confluence and Connection

“Once you accept the world-view where everything is connected, no aspect of reality is seen as being separate and unrelated. Neither the universals nor the particulars of matter and non-matter, brain and mind – nor the languages we use to describe these things, science and art – are seen to be in conflict with one another. There is only confluence.”




–Todd Siler (American Visual Artist, Educator, Inventor and Author, 1953-)

Seeing the Whole

“We cannot possibly see the whole of what we are, if we persist in seeing the parts of our nature and nature’s parts as disassociated entities. Defining things without considering their relationships with other things is a fatal flaw in descriptive analysis.”
