This art work is based on a spiritual experience. 3.8.08 FEATURED IN LIVING CHRISTIANITY GROUP This is also a part of A Shaman’s Journey video which can be viewed on YouTube by clicking the title link. You can also see the Digital Collection #1 2009 Calendar Here The Angel’s Choir Sings for God, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit (Full title) The Angel’s Choir Sings For God (the Nothingness, Higher Intelligence, Source Energy, Supreme Intelligence or whatever name you tag to your belief of the Higher Power), the Father and Son, and for the Holy Spirit; the Higher Self connected to the wholeness of its Soul. Women too are creators as they bring further creation to be since they; give birth, nurture, cook, sew and basically create things including situations, some pleasant, some not, and who come from their heart center and connection to God’s energy, more so than men who have removed themselves from such beliefs through their temptations of want of external power. Women are within ALL men (and other women) for a mother brought man (and woman) to be by giving them a body to have a physical experience in, along with the seed of man (the Father) to set the chain of motion for the creation of body for the newborn being – son or daughter, their child, into this physical world on Earth. Two came together as one – to become the child who not only carries influences from both it’s parents, of which it has the right of choice as to what to act out from either parent, or to overcome, but also from those parts of its soul that called for a physical experience and to which that child will remain connected to via its spirit, it’s Higher Self, its Holy Spirit, which is the connection between realms to the complete soul of its being. The wholeness of its being. We are Earthed when we are birthed, like electricity needs to be earthed to function in a proper manner, so to do parts of your soul – the personality, you, the individual. Future eternal lives, incarnations, are basically governed by deeds and actions performed in past and present life and does come back upon oneself as lessons to learn, if not in the present life then in further lives still to come; incarnations. This is the way of Immortality. For those that say they can do anything as God forgives…yes, God does forgive but God knows that karma cannot for once an action, including thought, is infiltrated upon one’s line of energy it is embedded and returns to the originator as pay back for lessons to be learnt…karma is a connection of kinetic energy…a force unto itself….as it gives out it receives back. When one has learnt the important lessons that can sustain them in the spiritual realms; the angelic realms, then they are free to come and go as they please as they know the importance of upholding the lessons learnt…things are far more spontaneous in higher realms than they are on Earth where it can take many lifetimes, a few hours; depending on your spiritual awareness, or years, for lessons to be learnt from returning karma. As such no one is a victim of another, they are only victims of their own ways of thinking, acting situations out, or deeds done. © C J Lewis, 2008 / MCN:C8327-E4DB4-F1C3E

This art is also included in the Digital Collection #2 2009 Calendar which you can see Here I did this as my explanation of the saying in the Bible: As within, so without. / I believe, everything that happens in this world is a reflection of our inner thoughts, the path our mind takes which we react to…so if we don’t learn to control the ego mind and allow it to take control over our better reasoning by the use of evil thoughts then they are reflected to the without...the world in which we live, therefore making the evils of this world surface. And vice a versa…with good thoughts. I believe we all control this world and its outcome by what we allow to reflect from the within to the without.

© C J Lewis. 36”x 24” Acrylic on stretched canvas. This painting depicts that energy is something that we all bow down to in our lack of understanding what makes it move. I believe it is the entire population of this world that moves the energy to create how this world becomes, that it is not just through our actions but mainly through our thoughts which are also a movement of energy in that we create vibrations through the action of thinking – it is something we do and ‘as we give (out vibrations via our emotions created by our thoughts into the ethers of energy) so to do we receive (back from Mother Nature the effect of those vibrations of thought – it is cause & effect).
