Girls I found the answer of Jung question


The idea of the artist as an agent of a higher power is not confined to the ancients, but is expressed in the writings of 20th. century artists. Paul Klee wrote "My hand is entirely the instrument of a more distant sphere." Yet Klee does not see the role of the artist as entirely passive either. Klee, in his famous lecture of 1924 titled 'Modern Art', used the image of a tree to describe his understanding of the artist as a medium for the "transformative process of nature". He observed that, "From the roots the sap rises up into the artist, flows through him and his eyes. He is the trunk of the tree, seized and moved by the force of the current, he directs his vision into his work."

The 'sap' is something else the image of the sap is analogous with the breeze or breath of the Harp and Flute phor; coming from that "more distant sphere yet so much a part of the being his life depends on it as a tree it's sap. The artist is "seized and moved by the force of the current" of the sap and at the same time directs his vision simultaneously mastering and being mastered by this "transformational process of nature" as represented by the sap. There is a sense of merging, or oneness with this force that strongly echoes the ideas of the artists' spiritual union with the divine, which the Zen artists and artists of antiquity believed were necessary to produce sublime art.

All of these phors and ways of understanding the process of creation bear a similar theme of emptying; the zero or emptiness of the Zen state; the hollowness of the flute which allows the divine breath to flow through; the availability in the tree for the sap to pass through.
