There are many ideas that associate and connect with this drawing. Off the top of my hair follicles, the first one that comes to mind is how it can remind one of the ancient Egyptian gods Aton, Amon, Heliopolis, and Ra; Aton’s rays of light are depicted as hands in reliefs found representing him in various buildings, pyramids, and temples in Egypt. The colors yellow and orange consume most of this picture, with yellow being even more dominant than the orange. Friendship and warmth are obviously associated with sunlight. Eggs are yellow; mustard is yellow; bananas are yellow; and some gold fish are yellow. I made the center of interest with an eye surrounded by a sun-egg-like globe, fish fins coming out of the corners of the eye, and an egg white spreading out, as it does, when cracked open on to a frying pan.
The outstretched and open hands are symbols of provision. In other words, the hand is what we learn at a very young age that provides for us by our parents. Light from the sun provides energy for plants so that they can grow and produce flowers, vegetation, vegetables, and fruit. I put loops around the sun-like center so as to indicate solar flares and coronal mass ejections that occur on our sun in our solar system. Basically, this image is a gallimaufry of symbolic color and form associations. I’m hoping that they’re allegorical enough that some harmony can be felt even amongst the surreality that they provoke. Even the joints in the arms extending out from the eye beholden center represent how I imagine quanta, or quantum particles to be. In summary, quanta are bundles of energy that scientists like to give all kinds of futuristic names like bosons, photons, and electrons.
I have been thinking of light as mostly expressed in wave-form, though it can be expressed in particle form as well. Hence the term wavicle. What the hell is a wavicle except for some fancy illusion concocted by our mostly unconscious minds? There’s a concept that I learned while reading Robert Monroe’s out-of-body trilogy. He discusses that, simply put, where you focus your attention is what you’ll create, or bring to fruition. He’s saying that we alter our reality by what we focus on with our consciousness. This ties in with the new age cliche, penned by Jane Roberts, her husband Robert F. Butts, and their channeled entity Seth, that “you create your own reality.”
I had struggled to understand this concept so often throughout my years of observation and research, but I get glimmers of how it functions every now and then. It has a lot to do with feelings and emotions, those vast and broad invisible spectrums of human experience. The physicist Tom Campbell describes our universe, in his theory of everything, as going latent into pure wave form when it’s not observed by intelligent consciousness (i.e., human consciousness) in order to conserve energy; but then it switches to particle and physical form when it’s observed by human consciousness. This idea approximates with Robert Monroe’s and Jane Roberts’ ideas that physical reality is created and sustained by consciousness.
So, to me, it makes sense that light bundles up into units of energy called quanta when we focus on something or other. Points of consciousness, then, can be formed into a matrix of physicality, and, ultimately, composing, theoretically, our entire universe… as we know it at least. This brings me, once again, to notions, rituals, and beliefs found in religion. Prayer, for example, is a focusing of attention on to desired results. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and other temples of worship are even more extensive and committed expressions of focusing consciousness. They are intended to bring together and house many people for certain rituals, prayers, and worship, thus bringing about higher states of consciousness for a community, or even the entire world. I suppose everlasting peace is the highest and longest term goal that many of us as earthlings attempt to create, but much of our world is created by human ego, which is mostly interested in keeping games of unforgiveness in their myriad and infinite forms going.
My title for this piece is Be Held, and Forgive. Be held in the warmth of light and love by a higher source of consciousness, and forgive, then, anyone who you feel has betrayed you, hurt you, or caused you grief. It is only in giving that you will receive anything. Giving and receiving are truly a two-way street, though most of this world seems to be devised contrary to that notion. Nevertheless, it is only with an open, healed heart that you can come around to creating again what you once had, what you lost and thought you could never regain. It can be yours again. But in my experience, it takes a lot of work to introspect and heal wounds that happened, or that you imagined happening, from the past.
