Everyone must build their own mind palace – a place where they can retreat into magical solitude – at least everyone who wishes to remain sane. For where else can you turn if you truly wish to see alchemy work and you desire for the mundane to become the magical? Where else may one visit the future and experience the technological wonders that humanity will someday build? Where else are you truly sovereign and free? To construct your mind palace you must find and nurture your true self: The Sovereign Artist Within. To find this creative paramour, you must protect and expand the white space in your life. White space is unscheduled and uninterrupted time that allows one to 'empty the mind' of the cluttered mundanity of the everyday. White space allows one to deprogram their mind — to remove the false programming that society’s institutions have placed there. White space allows expansion into that divine liminal place where ideas mingle, connections are made, souls are found, myths are born, and, ideally, to dwell there, leisurely, luxuriating in the wholesome god-like powers of creation, and finally, to come home to earth with the joyful memory of the effortless ambrosia that grows there and to bring some of that miraculous alchemy into the physical realm. As above, so it is below. Protecting your white space is the key to building and entering a proper mind palace. It is one of the most divine and inspired experiences available to mankind. As it is written, the kingdom of heaven is within you. I enter as often as I can, and I pray that you do as well; for, the only way to share part of one's mind palace with another is Art and the only way to create true Art flows from The Sovereign Artist within — you —who sits in the mind palace’s throne room. “I went back to collecting Buck Rogers. My life has been happy ever since. For that was the beginning of my writing science fiction. Since then, I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.” — Ray Bradbury If you wish to comment upon this article you may do so by clicking the button below: These ideas in this reflection are related to the current book I am writing, The Sovereign Artist.
