Shree: Place

 Shree: Place

Undifferentiation in some people comes in various ways – if we consider our own consciousness that functions in some cultures.

Gods (spirits), ancestors, traditions and people are continuous. The space that is experienced (the physical or the one that one perceives) is informed by cosmic and ancestral relations – those overlap and even actively interact to generate meaning to the “now” of our lives. Hence territory, movement in the landscape,  architecture ande elements all symbolize/ represent/ suggest a way in which spirits, ancestors and people relate or called upon. From this, one makes out that there are billion ways in which such an “invocation” can materialize. The change within any form and the larger environment is 9or may be) generally referred as spirits and the underworld/ beneath the territory is generally referred for ancestors (is it because everything goes to dust or resurfaces later on or emerges or perhaps the decayed things get buried and so on?)….

There are collective markers of imagination, then the ancestral, then the traditional, then the social, then the more familial then the more specific. This plays out in the geometrical plan, section, layout and a general territory that may extend to any unlimited dimension of space in any direction. Therefore, what is “seen” is calling of all such forces into the visible spectrum of movement and scale and proportions.

There is a great learning here – one of a continuity in several realms of existence. Is it abstract (i.e. imagined but not real?) I think, is the question even valid at all?! To label it as a human construct also betrays a fundamental need or action of a human being – to create a place, here.
