Art and Ascension

Please visit my new website devoted completely to this topic:  Art and Ascension

Why “art” and ascension? Because art takes us to another plane both as creators and observers. Whatever the discipline, art involves body, mind, heart and soul.

To create art is to transmute denser matter, lower thought-forms, onto the higher planes of love/wisdom, compassion and understanding.

Through the imagination we move into dimensions of lesser density and lighter fields of awareness where we access the intuitive plane.

Works of art “step down” higher states of awareness onto the physical plane.

Art might be considered as the portal into the World of Meaning and Significance.

Whether it’s reality you’re painting, or dreams or visions or mental or emotional states, it’s about creating a different reality. It’s about seeing, and it’s about the power of seeing, and figuring out exactly what we do see.

What is Ascension?

First and foremost, ascension is a process.

Ascension is a gradual shift, a shift in awareness, a shift in perspective, a shift in vibration, a shift in attunement, and a shift in alignment with who one truly is, so that there is full agreement, full participation, in the process.

Ascension is a universal motion, a yearning, a striving, a releasing, a surrendering, a joyous culmination of our journey here in physical form.

Dictionary meaning of ascension: To go or move upward, to rise. To rise by degrees, from the lower to the higher notes of a musical scale for instance. To move or slope upward. To ascend a mountain. From the Latin, meaning to climb.

So we have this sense of the word as meaning rising above where we presently are. Of going up, as to Heaven.
