so i've been considering how art and business are different and resulting from similar processes

yes

what's the outcome ?

the processes and stages make up the parts while art or business are the final results

the deal is the outcome

i found that is one of the common elements, outcomes i enjoy...whereas some parts feel, as you pointed out feel constrictive, there are other parts that mirror art processes very closely and that's probably because they are the more creative aspects

in art the deal is when someone wants to take the art home, in business someone wants to take a product home...the deals are the terms of the exchange.

agreements on value, creation, transporting, showcasing, making a sale...are all processes in the deal whether art or business.

so art and business are like man and woman

artist=woman

maybe artist is intuitive

so business is the same as technical

technical=business

man and woman

artist=intuition

reminds me of the two perspectives when we were first working on the pbwiki

artist and technical

yes

technical is structure, is the power external, is money

artistic is intuition, is the power internal, is attention

both are poles, sides, in one and the same flow

so they are a bilocality

...

that's why i invited you to really ask the question of what is business, what is art :

because the less you focus on one pole ( e.g. art - yes ; e.g. business - NO ) the more you begin to see the bilocality

holding on to one , is exactly the same as rejecting the other pole

so really it doesn't matter whether

you prefer to fight

against business for instance, or against art ;

or if you prefer to fight for

art, or for money

it is really one and the same

one scale, one dimension, one bilocality

see ?

in Tao it is said :

if you feel there is only a choice of yes and no,

then step back, and see the third option

...

and this is the seeing of bilocality

the seeing of the scale, the whole, the dynamic of two apparently opposites

ok great, you're on your way to embracing business

in other words : to let go of art as your saviour

whether hugging to death, or fighting to death, neither one can live on their own

art needs business, business needs art (creativity)

one without the other is sure to die

it must flow, because life is flow and flow is life

see ?

yes i see

now it feels as if i'm in the space of unknowing....waiting to see what is next

wonderful....

so what is buying?

is selling and buying a bilocality ?

two apparently opposite perspectives on one and the same area ?

hmmm.....

yes

it refers to two opposite views of the same area (the deal) and one can not exist without the other

if nothing is being sold, there is nothing to buy

together they create the space/opportunity for a good deal

so art and business are a bilocality and buying and selling are bilocalities....does that mean

attention and money are bilocality?

are they opposite views of the same area (currency)

?

yes

opposite is APPARENTLY opposite

it is like two eyes, they are not EXACTLY opposite

hence there is a certain angle from one to the other

this is then the illusion of the third dimension
