Wonder Woman and Her Psychic Galactic Shield
We can feel it-
We know it’s there-
We just can't fully see it, or name it- the who or the what.
Something feels off and not quite right.
Putting all the blame in one bucket does not seem enough.
For those that love the esoteric search for an axiom of spiritual truth -
it’s a little like a cluster - F -out there.
A bit unclear- for the moment.
I feel like Wonder Woman, holding a shield up to a psychic galactic war.
But instead of the battle playing out in some far off corner of the cosmos, chaos has pierced the veil of our atmosphere and has left me, and perhaps you, dodging and ducking closer to our Mother Earth for some semblance of security.
Perhaps that is the good news.
We can almost feel the pulse of Planet Earth’s heart beat, the trees breathing and the sea swelling.
This is our home.
In her honor, I want to ceremoniously rock a pair of power boots (red) and some wide band silver magic cuffs that fall just above the elbows to assist me and my shield in deflecting the polluted airwaves of galactic warfare all around me.
Call to action is different for everybody.
As an art maker I believe in the healing powers infused into paint then onto surface, reflecting back to the viewer inner work turned out.
Transmutation of power. Not the Patriarchal kind,
but the subtle, sensual- I am here as presence kind.
The stewards of light kind.
But - how we do that you might ask?
By naming our shadows to start.
What hurts or pain do we still carry on the inside that trigger ……
A charge- so I can bring it to the surface and transform and transmute it through pigment and oil.
Dream alchemist, Planetary Artist and Shamanic Healer Paul Levy writes in Artist’s as Healer of the World
"If in our avoidance of consciously relating with these energies ( shadows) we allow ourselves to become unconsciously possessed by them, we become their unwitting minion, their agent of incarnation into our three dimensional world, creating destruction in life, whether individually, in our personal lives, or collectively, on the world stage.
The artist, on the other hand, by creatively expressing and thereby liberating their experience, is able to extract from the daemonic a blessing which imbues their work with a corresponding numinous power, which in-fluences (and "in-flows" into) others.”
As artists we work to articulate our symbolic language and turn it from the inside out -
Our wounds can also be our divine creativity.
We as a human species are in a unique place in history right now - where we can move beyond hate ( anger, fear, destruction ) by weeding it first from ourselves, which in turn weaves into assisting the world in the process.
I believe we all want way more of that right now…. a healing.
Please share your thoughts below on what your doing to find the soft places
that bring you to joy and beauty … healing love.
Be Well,
