Tantra and Intentionality

James Joyce was able to experience all the different realms of language and music and madness with but he could still function in the world somehow. And that's that's really the artist again, in a way. By building up intentionality, it's like you create a capacity and a container that can start to hold that madness and bring it into the world in a safer way that doesn't destroy you but gives you life. That's where it becomes a little bit more shamanic... You're going to reshape some experience of reality based on an unnecessary impulse that you had. That's what artists do.
