Complex Art and the Ecstatic State of Non-Ego.
"Communication, however, if it has meaning at all, is not a
simple matter of injecting something into an empty , passive
receptacle, but is an exchange between discrete individuals,
who bring to it the sum of past experiences and convictions,
as well as their sensitivities, and who, although perhaps profoundly altered by the
experience, retain a basic integrity.
When art communicates under these circumstances, it is not just more chit-chat to pass
the time of the day, but can be
an act of revelation and conversion."

Complex Art and the Ecstatic State of Non-Ego.
Beyond the Psychedelic Experience!.
Ideally any kind of great, sincere Art is a venue for Certainty, Mystery and Radiance
making room for a sort of comfortable emancipation towards the Self, and away from the
Self!.
Hence Complex Art must open again spaces in itself to reach the stage of Transcendental
Ideals. Perhaps it must drag the Ego beyond the conceptual mind and the routine
perception "tuning the nervous system with an endless flow of cellular forms and colors
fleshing by"(42);
Complex Art pieces could help us connect with a kind of Ecstatic State
of Non-Ego; so the immersion of our whole body and souls, at least for the moment of
real contemplation into the oceanic waters of Non-Linear Gynergies would be authentic,
to enable us to start realizing our true human nature, composed by an eternal
"biological-life-flow", which tuned properly may help us to perceive linear reality and
AI as only one of the faces-possibilities of the whole Realm of the Complex Real!.
The recovery of consciousness and its "first spiritual bound" could finally come if
Complex Visual Art radiates hyperimages as "transference energies to a personal happy
unexpected areas of texture and color, empty windows of nothingness, trivia-absurd
camp-kitsch(43)
and schlock objects(44)
as the Self-Hypnotic Presence of Ego as well
glorious material objects from the Eternal Natural Kingdom of the Universal Self".
The visuality-recognition of a "Liberation State"(45)
through real and metaphorical
-"Earth-sinking-into-water"
-"Water-sinking-into-fire"
-"Fire-sinking-into-air"(46)
Metaphoring transitions and biffurcations, paradoxes-windows, ecotheaters with
Elements and Experiences disconnecting complex Self and Ego... those could be suggested
by the art process and the art threshold itself.
Metavisuals of both the Tibetan model and the Psychedelic experience involving
hypermetaphors of
" -Complete Transcendence (Illumination)
(beyond words, beyond space-time, beyond the self).
-Orgiastic Creativity-wave energy flow
(External Game Reality-Aesthetic Experience in the form of hallucinations,
karmic apparitions and illusions)...Imagery-process-ritual-acting the no self...
-Return to routine game reality and the self
(Routine Reality)"(47).
could be provoked by the Magics of any assertive Complex Art!.
