To be an true artist is to live in a world of duality...where the same force that drives creativity mutually drives destruction...there rarely is middle ground and violently play off each other. Build and destroy...anyone worth their salt in the arts knows this. You're harnessing the power of (+)/(-) polarity in Hermetic terms...then emitting the results in bursts. It's what Occultists refer to as mental alchemy/ transmutation...they seek heroin and what not to soften the destructive side of the pendulum swing (ebb/flow) between the poles. Usually this in on an unconscious level...

It exists in all living things (this duality) but not usually in extremities....that's why people flock to stadiums to witness it.

Your high points are way more electrically charged than the normal person..and that comes with a price...the lows come with the temptation to off yourself and say "**** it". Like the saying goes "careful what you wish for"...you may be inadvertently tapping into forces you might not be prepared to handle. Once that force in harnessed...there in no putting it back. Hendrix, Morrison Cobain, Van Gogh, Hemmingway...the story repeats...and always will.

The energy they emitted vicariously through their medium..is why we talk about them long after their dead...I'm sure that's why the term "star" was coined..burn bright.
