There is a Disparity in My Light: Navigating the Split Creative Consciousness

  There is a Disparity in My Light: Navigating the Split Creative Consciousness Introduction - does metamodernism oscillate? Clarity, I've learned, doesn't guarantee a smooth landing. While the core recalibration manages our internal mechanics, we eventually have to look back out the window and confront the final destination. For many creators navigating major life transitions or complex technical boundaries, this shift introduces an unsettling inner divide. The anatomy of disparity in creative practice is the psychological friction of a split being—standing physically present in a new space while your internal pace is still trying to catch up with the velocity of your transition. When we widen our creative intent, we often slice our universe in half: balancing cold, geometric clarity on one side against the messy, vibrant residue of personal regret on the other. Rather than forcing these halves to blend, we must learn to treat this exact contrast as our personalised map. 1. Ge...

Deep Sea Bug - It is not about maintaining balance

Title: Deep Sea Bug  - It is not about maintaining balance

Artist: John Bennett jjfbbennett

Description
There are moments in life when melancholy grips in.
In the pursuit of achievement, when worthiness is implicitly questioned by peers and outwardly demonstrated by the actions of authority;

  • when overt praise is is actually an ambience of sarcasm; 
  • when attacks are protected by status;
  • when attempts are denied by priority;
  • when innovation is denied and a holding bay is fabricated; 
Deep rooted micro questions emerge from depths where loneliness and emptiness abide.

Degenerate logic, scratch and scrawl and scrape at sublime minds whilst

  • authority and peers prod and poke, seeking a reactive outburst 
    • demands of sorrow require victor's pity 
      • enabling those to pamper away blankets of regret. 
Placed down and continuously stripped away
Place down and taught to kneel through explicit kindness and welcoming gestures

Do not ensure that  
your repatriation  empowers  
'the authoritive' to satisfy its want to maintain balance. 


Peers will whisper controversy &
'the authoritatives' will campaign reigns against those who delve
into the depths of thought and incite difference. 

Enter the depths of loneliness and emptiness to gain strength, resilience and determined defiance.

Do not enter the depth of loneliness and emptiness to gain self pity and
offer 'the inflictor' the privilege of tendering your wounds. 


These depths are for creativity and innovation, not hospitalization.

Innovation and Creativity is not about maintaining balance.

It is raining in Taipei

  It is raining in Taipei  (A Jazz Ballad for a Warm Rainy Day) Left my umbrella folded, didn’t care Stepped into a street that shimmered everywhere Neon bleeding red and green Where the wet world makes a mirror of everything Some dressed in a ghost-white cape Life slips on by—no honk, no haste Just the rhythm on the awning And the smell of Taipei in the rain Oh, rain on the asphalt, warm and slow Where the city leans in soft and low No place to go, nowhere to be Just the rain, just the rain, just the rain and me And when I dry off and turn the key I won’t remember what I saw, you see I’ll remember how I slowed enough to feel That surrender is the only thing that’s real Shhh… just the rain… Mmm, just the rain.

I am sealed in this capsule

  I am sealed in this capsule The transition from the static concrete of that waiting room to the pressurised cabin of this jetliner changes the entire physics of my wait. I’m no longer pacing floors or slouching into plastic seats; I've been sealed inside a capsule, and soon to be hurtling through the sky toward China. Now that I'm finally buckled in, my restlessness hasn't disappeared, but at least I’ll soon gain altitude. I look around and can see exactly how this emotional shift plays out in other lives. There is an initial sense of order and quiet relief. I see the neat rows of seats, the soft symmetry of the aisle, and the steady, reassuring presence of the flight attendant, offering the illusion of control. The ceiling washes into soft, atmospheric blues and teals. I imagine the sky outside. I can feel the collective breath of a hundred passengers all transitioning into the same forced pause. For a moment, my world feels structured, clean, and neatly aligned. I know ...

Efficiency runs on Burnout

  Efficiency runs on Burnout The biggest misconception isn’t the pursuit of paradise; it’s the belief that constant convenience and perfect order come without pain.  When you push through exhaustion in silence,   When you distance yourself emotionally,   When the lonely effort of performing is celebrated,   Beware of the trap of striving for efficiency every single day Be Creative and Innovative with Knowledge John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett , is an independent artist.
