You can only Aspire to your Highest chakra, to Communion with God, when you are no longer the victim of your delusion that you are evil.

So, you can only come to God when you Know God has already come to you.

This is the role of True Art: that it Emanates to you as an Instance

A painter can paint from his Deep Unconscious, his Soul,
but an artist only ever from the superficial unconscious, his ego.

The surrealists would proudly proclaim that they painted from their unconscious.

But which unconscious? The merely superficial, of admixed love and hate – or the Deep Unconscious of only Pure, Pure Love? From their egos or their Souls?

Blake’s Creativity comes more from his Deep Unconscious, that’s why his work is more loving.

To make the unconscious conscious is the role of all creativity. And the creativity is capitalized – Creativity – when it comes not from the merely superficial unconscious, but from the Deep Unconscious, the Soul.

Did the canvas like what he was doing to it?
Did it smile back to him – gratefully?

I photograph a tree, a shop – whatever.
And ask if it’s smiling back to me.
Is it saying “Thank you” – as I am?

The more the viewer regards the painting as being Inspired, the greater will be its Emanation.

A healer can’t be an author-type, for then his primary purpose would be his self-promotion.

I call him not a healer, but a dealer.

Blake was constrained by time and place to be a miniaturist. What would he have done as a Pollock – his hand as free as his Spirit?
