This is not a small gamble. A seed can experience life only when it sprouts. It is not possible for a seed to save itself and become a tree. When the seed sprouts, it ceases to be a seed. The seed dies for the tree is born.

Human body is a sheath containing a seed, and inside there is a sprout consisting of life, of being. But, taking this sheath for the seed, we ruin ourselves and the sprout is never born, the seed never sprouts. One experiences life only when the seed sprouts. As long as man is a seed, he is only a potentiality, and when the tree of life is born in him, he becomes authentic. Some call this authenticity the soul, and some call it God.

Man doesn't know what life is because he has believed his fulfilment is in being a seed alone. He will know it only when his inner tree of life has manifested itself totally. But this is a far cry when, in the first place, we don't even realize there is something existing within that is different and separate from the body. We are never able to remember, to realize there is something different and separate from the body as well. Hence, the real issue in life is experiencing that which is within, but we believe life to be that which pervades outside.

The seed contains the flowers, and the flowers are nothing but expressions of the seed. Sex contains Enlightenment, because life contains God. Move from sex to enlightenment, from sex to superconsciousness; this is the only natural and rightful way. Don't get stuck anywhere at sex, its just a glimpse of what lies beyond when one transcends sex - into a never ending orgasm...

(this is a commission work i got from ~manig. not my usual style but it's always interesting to deviate from the usual, and commission work gives me the opportunity to do that sometimes. the quote was taken from the book.)

I have to agree. It's a nice contemporary reincarnation of Diego's piece. Very sensuous.

I think this is absolutely gorgeous! I don't know if this was a conscious homage to Diego Rivera, but yeah, it's beautiful. I love the upturned palms and line of her spine. Beautiful work, as are the rest of your photographs.
