ASTRAL ART SERIES
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.
Dedication To Those Seeking To Be Free
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.
