An archetype is a stable meme. Propagates across time.  And there are some memes, some stories, that stabilize you as an individual; restrict your anxiety, provide you with hope, make you productive and generous, and when they're extended they produce a structure that unites people and produces peace.

You have to see the world story. You act out a story. A description of a pattern we're acting out, that's a story.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own tastes.

Marcel Duchamp

The recognition of abundance fills us with hope that our brightest ideas still await us and our greatest work is yet to come. We are able to live in an energized state of creative momentum, free to make things, let them go, make the next thing, and let it go. With each chapter we make, we gain experience, improve at our craft, and inch closer to who we are.

Each mindset evokes a universal rule: whatever we concentrate on, we get. If the mind creates a world that is limited, where we think we don’t have enough worthwhile ideas or material, we will not see the inspiration the universe is providing. And the river slows. In the abundant world, we have a greater capacity to complete and release our work. When there are so many ideas available and so much great art to make, we are compelled to engage, let go, and move forward.

In the culture, there’s always a dialogue between the past, the present, and the future, even when it’s not clear what the influence is. As creators and enthusiasts, we share and receive points of view in order to participate in and further this exchange.

Set aside such concerns about whether your work will be comprehended. These thoughts can only cause interference, for both the art and audience. Most people aren’t interested in being told what to think or feel. Great art is created through freedom of self-expression and received with freedom of individual interpretation. Great art opens a conversation rather than closing it. And often this conversation is started by accident.
