"Lost in music, there I found YOU, ME, EVERYTHING, and NOTHINGNESS. When I draw, I open my mind to possibilities, and that’s when ideas find me, not the other way around. The process of my art involves taking away lines, rather than adding them. Saying less, says more. By getting lost in a nothingness, you find yourself, you find love, and a reason for being. That’s what my art is to me: It’s the artifacts that I find on my journey into getting as lost as I can be." - Jeremyville

Quotes from The Art of Peace - by Morihei Ueshiba
“When you bow deeply to the universe, it bows back; when you call out the name of God, it echoes inside you.”
“Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.”
“Those who are enlightened never stop forging themselves.”
“The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your inner enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.”
“The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.”

“You don’t become holy by fighting evil. Let evil be. What makes a person saintly is love.” — St. Porphyrios
