VISUAL MANTRAS ARE SACRED SYMBOLS
THAT USE LINE, SHAPE, COLOR & IMAGERY IN ART, IN ORDER
TO IMPART INFORMATION THAT DIRECTLY INFLUENCES HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS.
"Were it so simple that words and explanations would transform your awareness and reality, Shakespeare would have sufficiently enlightened humanity many centuries ago. Know that we are continuing to assist you on many levels and that we watch, even as you make regrettable choices, ready to assist at your first sincere cry for help.
This is why religions have instructed on prayer, novenas, and petitions for help from the Divine. This works so long as the petitioner is in alignment with the greater good in that request AND so long as the emotional and mental bodies of the petitioner are in alignment with the Good and Great Plan for All That Is when so doing." Excerpt from "What If God Sent A Horse?" page 218/Avatar Discourse Number Thirteen:

FINE ART & SACRED SYMBOLISM IN ART.
Throughout human history, various Art Forms have been vehicles through which enlightened wisdom and practical guidance has been transmitted to humanity, ensuring our spiritual growth and physical survival. No one Art Form could sufficiently affect the desired influence on human consciousness, which must proceed with human cooperation, which is the gift and responsibility of free-will-choice.
"Did you realize that most of the great, illuminated works of creative genius were inspired by the Masters to bring new information and imagery to the world? Renoir, with (the) soft and luscious colors, transcribed the energetic fields surrounding the physical form. Rembrandt brought forward light as if light from within is the most important aspect of the subject. Indeed, this is exactly the truth!
Even modernists, such as Picasso and Dali, were in accord with the Great Plan. Picasso’s fragmented images and Dali’s spectacular images: look at the Guernica which calls us to look at the fragmentation and horrors of war. The Last Supper calls us to remember the perfect plan by which the Christ Jesus shared with humanity the formula and opportunity to create a new path and live in Peace.
The fragmentation style of cubism, reflecting the breaking away of old structured thinking and the many modernists who literally reassembled time, space, and color elements, as if the old order had dissolved and a new one was here to form from the abyss: this is, in fact, exactly so in the realm of human conscious evolution.
You will find now, a new order of inspired works within the fields of art and music. The living arts, including the art of living, will come forward wherein each individual life will be an expression of harmony and of great beauty. The forms with which you surround yourselves, the attributes of character, the attitude of mind, the creative expressions in which you spend your days —all will resonate harmony, beauty, and Supreme Bliss. This will be called the living arts." Excerpt from "What if God Sent A Horse?" page 238/Avatar Discourse Number Sixteen:
Whether we are or are not aware of these influences matters little. We are constantly impacted by sound, color (light), thoughts, and, most powerfully, by love. So we can wisely choose those artistic and cultural influences that bring us love and joy, peace and harmony, and which support our soul-awakening. My "abstract" or "contemporary" works are conscious Spiritual Symbols -- Visual Mantras created as a collaboration with the Great and Invisible Guides of Human Destiny. By whatever name you use to describe the expression of Benevolent Great Good -- be that Saints, Sages, Guides, God, Inner Wisdom -- these influence of Great Good provides detailed instructions on imagery, color, line, etc. during the planning and execution of my symbolic works. I am following instructions about what form, shape, lines, color, images and subject matter in any given work. After the work is completed, I am given the explanation of these Sacred Symbols: Visual Mantras.
As I have come to realize over the years, each Visual Mantra is given to activate or awaken a specific aspect of the collective human consciousness and the individual human soul without need for words. Like sound, color (light) impacts us directly and powerfully. Words or familiar images, to which one might attach certain associations, emotions, or memories can limit our progress. Symbolic artwork uses line, shape and color to act on consciousness without encountering resistance arising from an individual's personality response arising from deeply held beliefs or past experiences. Purely and simply, color and light bypass the intellect, disarm the resistant mind, and allow energetic frequencies to awaken the human individual and the collective of humanity.
Because my artistic works are inspired either by the energies of nature, the Enlightened Truth and Eternal Wisdom that comes to me in meditation, or Cosmic Harmonies that I "hear" as color, line, shape and form, the execution of the project is mine, however, the creative source of the work comes from the expansive consciousness energies beyond my own human understanding. As with my writing and my vocal performances, my painting are conscious collaborations with these Benevolent and Enlightened Sources for the benefit of humanity. Therefore, I rarely and rather reluctantly sign the front of my paintings.
