An Art-full Message from Higher Journeys!

I have always held a humble reverence for the art form.  Art can be seen through the wide eyes of a child or the discriminate aficionado of Picasso, Van Gogh or Warhol .  It can be heard when a grand symphony is playing, all instruments in perfect symmetry or the singular a capella voice bringing one to tears. It is the written word, artfully articulated in poetic prose or pounced upon the page with fervent tenacity.  It can be seen and tasted in the creation of food, meticulously prepared by the culinary artist and fully appreciated by his or her admiring diner.

The artist is one who creates - all things.  Therefore we are all artists in one form or another. We are here to create, to explore and to express ourselves in the myriad ways that only we can, uniquely!

I am no exception.  I began the creative expression of writing as a child, encouraged by my beautiful mother who was a teacher and a writer herself.  I kept diaries, jotted copious notes on life experiences and later entered creative writing classes and contests, later to be trained as a journalist.  I then decided to pick up the brush, or pencil - any medium I could find to extend my musings in a visual form.  I understood that art was subjective (as frankly all things are).  This is the beauty of art.  I was just adding to the tapestry - another note in a grand symphony of expression.

Today, it is my pleasure to introduce to you dear reader, my contribution of this other passion of mine - visual art!

I invite you to peruse a few of my more spiritually inspired pieces that I've produced.

As a thank you for your support of Higher Journeys as we approach our 1 year anniversary, I am offering a personally signed print for you!  Simply click here to learn more about my work and how you can support Higher Journeys in a big way.

It has been my absolute pleasure to share my work (my passion) with you.  And I am so incredibly humbled that so many of you have resonated with my message; a message, that I truly feel is shared by so many - that of the human spirit and its potential!  We are the art and the artist.  We are the creation and the creator and when we can come to appreciate each other's creation, we begin to crack open the doors of authentic evolution and enlightenment - we are on that threshold!

So thank you once again.  I look forward to sharing many more Higher Journeys with you!

           Blessings,

A Postscript to Spiritual Sovereignty

Perhaps you landed on this page after reading my latest article, Spiritual Sovereignty on Conscious Life News, and if so, I thank you for visiting Higher Journeys!

As much as I would like to further my thesis on the concepts articulated in “Sovereignty” and even be tempted to give you a closer look at what spiritual sovereignty really means, truly that would defeat the purpose of my initial thesis to begin with.  You see, spiritual sovereignty is just as the name implies “a sovereign journey,” where you are the authority, the captain of your own ship.  You will have the epiphany that it is no one who can tell you what to do, not physically, not socially, and especially not spiritually.  In fact, I am imploring you to do just that!

What a grand journey we are on!

The beauty and creativity is in the uniqueness of a personal journey.  And although it seems paradoxical to accept a collective journey (or consciousness) and yet equally embrace the personal, subjective exploration, the two are inextricably linked.  Let’s navigate the waters alone, without an external captain.  That’s what we will invariably do anyway.  Then we can compare notes…collectively.  Perhaps we then arrive at a consensus. 

This is just the tapestry to one grand quilt.  One destination arrived at through many channels.  And all are valid.

For as physicist and philosopher David Bohm once posited, “We are whirlpools in a stream.  We have identity (individual journeys), we just don’t have distinct borders (the collective consciousness).”

Happy Journeying Sovereign Spirit!
