Healing and growth through intuitive art
My old brother sits in the room of our childhood
The trees in the yard
Move slightly in the wind
Inside of his body
The clouds, one big one small
Throw a ball between them
A picture that he made one summer
Still hangs
And every step that he took
Upon the reddish earth of the village
Has left a clear imaginary mark
In the infinity that he is.
This is what we can do and this is what we are here for as therapists or healers or whatever.
We only have to assist everything that comes from inside of us in going its way out. It will go if we let it go.
It is all so simple.
So here is what I am letting go of today, this morning, after a night and after a day and after a night and a day and a week and a month and two month and seven years of pain that crawls on you at night and crawls on you in the day and makes you tremble, and makes your nervous system shake day and night, and who makes your body tense, even as you sleep. There is not much that I can do directly with the pain, I have learned this already. I can work at it as we work on changing the direction of a rowboat in the water. We stop rowing in the way we did. We start rowing in the direction we want to go. The boat will still go some more in the direction it was going before, because of the momentum. But eventually, at some point, and it is hard to know exactly where this point is, the boat will be going in the new direction. Not exactly as we planned, but still, in the direction that you want to go. Maybe it will turn out to be even better than you thought?
And how do we let go of things? How do we let go of the old direction?
We just see them from a deeper state. That’s all we have to do. A deeper state means that it is the energy of the truth of who we are. The endless love, the endless joy.
And how do we start rowing in the direction we want to go?
We just stay more in the energy of who we are.
All is a play.
And what a wonderful playing it is.
Go ask Gaugin
I
With the beliefs that I have made
With the trees in me
With the beauty and craziness of it all
In me
I
Take the trees for example
Growing from the hard earth
Like habits
Drinking the blood of the fields
I
Look at the grimace on my face
It is coming out now
From memories
Of colors in the past
I.
Creating timespace from infinity
I am just a memory
Of what it was
To be a person
I am the potential for more too
But I forgot
There is a big reason to frown
My memories think
As I am creating timespace
Every day
Far from infinity
I don’t even remember
That I can make all worries extinct
Or look like a fluffy cloud
Of rain long gone.
Burning casuarinas
The red sun is painting the foliage at dusk
Intensifying play reality
The green that overgrows
In the village of my youth
Is the shadow
Of the villagers’ lives
Look! Look!
The truck that you hear
Struggling up the little hill
Will soon appear
Among the burning casuarinas.
You may ask yourself: What does this have to do with the work of this blog? Why would memories of youth belong in a process of emptying out everything, that creates conflicting thoughts, from the subconscious, so that more and more of the light of being will come through, and more energy will go to all the places that need to heal?
This process now is like a very long meditation. Or maybe it is very short. I don’t know how to define it in these terms. Time and again I look into my subconscious while being in an intuitive flow and whatever is there, that intuition decides to show me, starts floating into my reality through the painting and the writing process. The unknown becomes known, while at the same time being let go of. You can see that there are feelings that were provoked. I think mainly they are love and playfulness, with the wonder of a child.
These were the years when I installed a lot of programs in my subconscious. Then they disappeared from the conscious mind and continued to work without control in the subconscious. This is part of the human condition. So when these memories arise they also touch on other programs from that time, like: These are important people; They are big and know what is right and what is wrong; I somehow depend on them and have to listen to what they say; If what they say and think contradicts what I feel, I have to cancel what I feel and start believing in what they say instead. But when I look at these programs through love, wonder and playfulness, they lose their power, because, looking with love, I experience how these programs actually block love. That’s how the light works. And now, that they are much less powerful for me, the wonder surfaces. This is what we see, and it is part of this process.
For some reason this is what intuition brought to the surface now. Intuition is my guide. And intuition is my healer. It says: Look! Look! And then it says: I am here to just see and love. This is the process. I am deeply thankful to the wonderfulness of this process. I invite you all to learn it and use it.
I know what some of you will think: Where is the article, in one of those boring journals, that will prove with numbers and quotes that this is true at all? Who are you to invent new things? You have a rich imagination, Giora. But can you please give me some graphs and numbers?
What to do?
