ORDERLY CHAOS and ABSOLUTE/EYE

Miksang Level III

The visual world manifests as it is: nothing added; nothing subtracted. In this course we will let go and enter the freefall of pure perception. This opens an exploration of the visual as the visual. Modern American Artists have explored this Aboriginal perception. We will explore it with them. You will see what they see.
