When he had brought his lecture to an end, / the lofty scholar looked into my face, / searching to see if I seemed satisfied; And I, already thirsting for more drink, / kept silent, wondering: “Could he, perhaps, / be tired of all this questioning of mine?” / / But that true father, sensing my desire, / which was too timid to express itself, / spoke first, and thus encouraged me to speak. / / I said: “Master, the light you shed has made / my sight so keen that now I clearly see / all that your words mean or what they imply. So I beseech you, father, kind and dear, / define love for me, please, which is, you say / the source of every virtue, every vice.” “Now focus your mind’s eye on what I say,” / he said, “and you will clearly understand / the error of the blind who lead the blind. / / The Soul at birth, created quick to love, / will move toward anything that pleases it, / as soon as pleasure causes it to move. / / Words by Dante Best viewed in large format Acrylics, ink, graphite, pigment and gold leaf on paper

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do. Words by Emanuel Swedenborg Painting in acrylics – 102cm x 42cm 3rd December 2008
Unseen they pour blessing and joy without ceasing.......... Words by William Blake Music – You Alone Painting in mixed media 8th December 2008
I am the daughter of earth and water, / And the nursling of the sky; / I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; / I change, but I cannot die. / For after the rain when with never a stain, / The pavilion of heaven is bare, / And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams, / Build up the blue dome of air, / I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, / And out of the caverns of rain, / Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb, / I arise and unbuild it again. Words By Percy Bysshe Shelley Painting using acrylics, pigment, graphite and gold leaf / 102×42cm Music- Mahler Symphony No. 5 Adagietto

Every Spiritual order has a system for developing the human body. The Yogi have Yoga and The Egyptians had Sesh, Sesenti, Khentu, Usert and Sebek -Kha. The Ancient Egyptians sages taught all initiates about their nine bodies, Khat, The Physical Body; Ren, The Sound Body, Eb, The Heart Body; Ka, The Desire Body; Ba, The Soul Body; Khibit, The Astral Body and Khu, The Universal Spirit God. / The Ba – The ‘Ba is in some regards the closest to the contemporary Western religious notion of a soul, but it also was everything that makes an individual unique, similar to the notion of ‘personality’. (In this sense, inanimate objects could also have a ‘Ba’, a unique character, and indeed Old Kingdom Pyramids often were called the ‘Ba’ of their owner). Like a Soul, the ‘Ba’ is a part of a person that the Egyptians believed would live after the body died, and it is sometimes depicted as a human-headed bird flying out of the tomb to join with the ‘Ka’ in the afterlife. 23rd January 2009

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? / And that I was a maiden Queen / Guarded by an Angel mild: / Witless woe was ne’er beguiled! And I wept both night and day, / And he wiped my tears away; / And I wept both day and night, / And hid from him my heart’s delight. So he took his wings, and fled; / Then the morn blushed rosy red. / I dried my tears, and armed my fears / With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; / I was armed, he came in vain; / For the time of youth was fled, / And grey hairs were on my head. Poem Angel, The by William Blake August 3rd 2009

18×24 acrylic on canvas Thought it would be fun to do some goddesses in a kind of pop realism style. This is the Gnostic goddess, the feminine half of God and the mind of God, or the Divine Wisdom. Red Bubble homepage 10-6-09 close up of Sophia: / Check her out on a red tee:
That is one of the great difficulties in experiencing the unconscious—that one identifies with it and becomes a fool. You must not identify with the unconscious; you must keep outside, detached, and observe objectively what happens…. it is exceedingly difficult to accept such a thing, because we are so imbued with the fact that our unconscious is our own – my unconscious, his unconscious, her unconscious – and our prejudice is so strong that we have the greatest trouble disidentifying. Jung, C. G. The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga – Notes of the Seminar given in 1922 by C. G. Jung.
