Earth and Sky

Updated June 5, 2003

I wish to explain something that is close to a mystical understanding of the nature of energy and life on planet earth. It is something that has been stolen from us by the short-sightedness of the material sciences which govern our current world view. There is an aspect to the psyche that can touch higher states of consciousness and become aware of a greater field of existence than readily meets the eye. I have struggled to explain this for years and, in my continuing studies of multiple mystical traditions have finally found it described in ancient Zoroastrian philosophy. First, a contrast of the light and the dark; heavenly realms contrasted with the abyss

The Pearl Goddess comes from a Chi Gung meditation. My teacher, Frank was checking my chi and noted at the end of the meditation that the energy was incredibly strong. I told him it was the Pearl Goddess (my name for the energetic I had connected with). He said that was well and good and very fine to have made the connection with such a powerful force but that I should be wary and understand that in the higher energy realms there are entities who do not have the best interests of humans to heart and that if I connected with one of those I should immediately end the meditation and come back to normal waking consciousness. I created this water color to show a sense of what the energy looked like to my inner vision while I was engaged in the meditation. By contrast, this image shows the force of negative emotions, fear, anger and despair. The image is a tornado. I went through an intensely black period of terribly difficult emotional times and rendered the feeling state. It was like being torn apart. For the most part, I do not believe in rendering the negative side of things. My goal is to put all and only positive energies out into the world as I believe people need those a lot more than the negative. However, it is interesting to contrast the dark and the light

This is a painting of the angel of transformation of negative emotions. I got some serious complaints from viewers on it as they said, "You artists! You just go too high. We can't see what you are doing. You gotta come down a few levels so we can see the image." There really isn't any image to be seen here. What has been painted is pure light. The view of any figure is simply not available to perception because the light is so overwhelmingly birght.. This, again, is another from the series of black emotions. The steeply slanting hillside gives a feeling of instability. In the dark sky there is the image of the beginning of a tornado. Anyone who has lived through one of those storms knows the fear and terror they evoke. Complete helplessness and total fear for survival. I was one mile from the passage of a tornado and heard the howl in the wind. It was a tri-tone roar in the lowest register of the scale and it rose and fell like a revolving engine coming nearer and moving away. The rain was falling so hard that it was not possible to see beyond a couple of feet. It was night time. Street lights were on and the air was a uniform grey filled with rain and the howling of the wind.
