Creative Will

The attention is continually subject to distraction, the purpose being to capture and direct emotion, idea, and action.  It is then a simple matter to manipulate social, cultural, and economic choices, decisions and events.


Observation of the arts reveals the difference between legerdemain and magic.  It is always evident when a message or external purpose is associated with an artistic presentation, just as it is plainly clear when the effect or meaning of a piece, however obscure it may be, is intrinsic to the work itself.
