Healing and growth through intuitive art
The strong air taking over
And now not going anywhere
Dead body is struggling
Against the beautiful
I’d say he’s scared
He’s sweet too
And light
But doesn’t know it
Who is breaking and falling apart
Becoming brittle?
Does the beauty break?
Or is it the strong air taking over?
Disappearing is the struggling body
Just as it was going up
To better places
All is good now
Only pleasure.
I sat at my desk at 5 in the morning. I slept well till then and it made a big difference.
As I made the lines in this drawing I knew that I was very patient and that I listened to every line as it was made. There was no decision about where the line would go until it went, and I would change direction in the middle of a movement if I felt that this was the truth of the moment. I felt very clearly when it was time to end and I did not touch the drawing any more after that.
I looked at every color and collected the sentences that came to me when I looked at them. I mixed the sentences and fixed them a little until they made sense.
This is not new. I just wanted to say these things to those who came late to this blog. It is a process of looking in and connecting with intuition, to see what is going on in my subconscious or the dream state. The dream state always goes on, even when we do not dream consciously. It has a mixture of programs that are active now in the subconscious and can be released, plus ideas in support of our growth and expansion. If we listen to it, we always benefit. It is the place where our life is being created, the factory of manifesting. Everything that we see there while being in this deeper, intuitive state that enables the seeing is being released, just by having been seen. Its power to create ends. We create less and become simpler.
Being simpler means that we have less filters in our subconscious and allow the truth to come to us both from the word and from within. When it comes from within, this is intuition.
Here is the drawing I made:
Trees upside down in the rain
And these are the words, after some playing with them:
Though forms of the non physical
Argue very softly and transparently
That nothing is real
Blood pouring softly as curtains
Is just a story
That does not want to leave
The fact that the trees went upside down
And the sun is coming as showers
Shows that every thing
Comes to bless
Everything else
Memories of wet mud
Are just eternity speaking
Walking in the rain
Is the right thing to do.
The non-physicality of the earth
The non-physicality of the earth
Is a thought
And a connection without words
The guides would like you to note
The intensity of mountains
Would like you to catch an unfinished cloud
Like a whiff of thought
And pay attention to different parts of the body
But you
Like the ancients in all the deserts
Want to go here
Want to go there.
The sun
Once I lived on the ancient plains
Many mornings the sun came up
Over the trees
For many lifetimes I walked
To reach the sun
Until the sun came up in me.
I haven’t written for the blog for a while. I kept drawing every day and reading my drawings. Sometimes I drew more times than in other days. Basically these are all processes that you have seen me doing before. Discovering blockages and dissolving them, expressing experiences of expanded states, asking intuition and getting answers.
Doing this process is the best thing I have ever done in my life. And I have done a lot before this. I illustrated more than 40 children’s books, I wrote three of them. I know I have helped many people change their lives for the better, I raised three children, I showed my art, I got lost in making art silk screen prints until my money ended, I left New York for two and a half months when I had an exhibition in Germany and when I came back I lost all my illustration clients and changed my career. A few of my illustrations are still going around the world with an exhibition of political illustrations done for INX. I had spiritual experiences and spent twelve years in intense meditation. I did a lot more. I went back to school to study art therapy at age 58, I presented my method of using intuition through art in conferences and in some cases people were so moved that they had tears in their eyes. I know I have already done a lot. But this, taking care of my own development through using my own method, has been the best thing I have ever done. This has deepened my understanding of myself and of others and made me into a much better therapist or healer. I discovered my ability to read people from far and know what to do to help them. And I am still learning. All this burst of growth in my late sixties came from this work that I am doing on myself. This work is my meditation, my prayer, my connection to the truth, my expansion.
I am so sure about the strength and benefits of this method that I am now making arrangements for teaching it to people who are interested in using it for themselves and for helping others. It works much better than traditional psychotherapy. I have already started teaching it to a few.
The following picture and poem are just where I am today.
The greens that look so real
The greens that appear so real
Are the children of thoughts
The lovely earth, ploughed with horses
And crops growing
Near the vivid blue
Are all the children of thoughts
Made in the open space
Of eternal love.
Where am I?
When you are in a conflict
Between doing this or that
In your view
The light is outside of you
But the truth is that the light
Is in you
You are the light
And the conflict
Is a beautiful thing
Happening inside of you.
The mistake that we make
Is identifying with things
And not with what they appear in
What sees them
And what plays with them.
So when you start identifying
With the true you
The infinite
It is not important any more
Which side is right
And which one is wrong
What becomes significant
Is the beauty of it all
And the ability to change it
At will.
