As we progress through time, we have come to a point where humanity questions its existence and true ancestry. This curiosity has led us to explore beyond the teachings of religion. The Astral Art Series is an exploration of art that transcends the mind, piercing through the veil of the astral realm and higher levels of consciousness. With an open heart, our higher self channels information that is translated into visual works processed by the power of our minds. However, this language can only be interpreted as we open our hearts to the beauty and wonder that exists all around us, as everything is energy and higher levels of vibration. The world is now experiencing and remembering this fact. During the hours when we sleep, through meditation, and in moments of contemplation, our soul astral projects to dimensions and perhaps lives we once lived a thousand years in the past or the future, and perhaps not in this realm. This collection represents the power of unity between the mind, the soul, and our hearts. It allows us to see and discover beauty when we drift into our subconscious, that which is all-knowing and the cord that connects us to all creations.
It is not easy embarking on our quest to reach our dreams. The idea of claiming our freedom and cutting loose from the strings that dictate and manipulate our lives can seem impossible. The judgments from our social circles can at times cloud our thoughts and create overwhelming feelings of self-doubt. The hardest part of any beginning is deciding to dive into the unknown. Once we have taken that first step to jump and while free falling the only thing that we can hold on to is our faith and our resolution that no matter how hard we land or how broken we might feel.
We will take those pieces and create something new; we will reinvent ourselves. All these decisions, failures, mistakes, and accomplishments create a chain reaction in the universe. It creates an echo that travels through the vastness of other realms, and like a boomerang, it brings back information and confirmation that the silence we sometimes experience is forcing us to take action and to face our fears one way or another.
Now, standing outside the box and looking into my world from the outside. I can see that every experience, every mistake, every broken piece, and shattered dream and all those endless days and nights twisting and turning, wondering if I would ever feel my purpose; those were the forces of the universe pushing me into the unknown so that I could dive into my fears to test my will, to walk in darkness and to find within me the courage to rise above by turning sorrow into the light.
When the world speaks and makes noise proclaiming they know the depths of you, but do they have the courage to claim love, to forgive themselves, and to propel others to take that first step up the ladder they claimed is the way to compassion and a space where all are equal in sin and resurrection.
Hold on to your heart before surrendering your life and leaving this world behind. Know that your light was the mirror they could not face. It reflected a love they can't comprehend, a love they have yet to know about themselves.
When the world wants to stone your path, block your dreams, trash your name. Remember, it has been you holding onto that cliff while your fingers bled, while in silence, you begged for mercy, for a break to catch your breath, for someone to give you a break.
Know that your shortcomings, setbacks, mistakes, heartaches, restlessness, anxieties, and in those moments when you wish to exit this life to end this madness. Look around, look up, look down. Who has been there for you when on the ground you crawled?
The light in you, around and within you, who held your hand, caressed your thoughts, beaming with hope, faith, strength, clarity, courage, and the will to forge ahead when the odds were against you.
I give you this token of power and protection. Keep it in this vessel, always hold it in your heart, and remember to call forth its light whenever you feel like giving up. Let the violet flame burn away your sorrows and transmute them into something beyond words, into the magic that comes alive when we declare victory and glory over the silent battles we have conquered. Merge your mind, body, and soul with your heart. Let it burn to ashes the past and feel the violet-golden snowflakes wash away the closure of the end.
