Visualize: An Artistic Meditation for Creating a New World

Sol Luckman

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/crowrisingwm.jpg

Visualize your ability to visualize.

This is no small or laughing matter.

Your world, our world, depends upon it.

Literally.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/journeybetweensunswm.jpg

Visualize your innate power of imagination to manifest the reality you desire.

Visualize hundreds, thousands, millions of people energizing

A similar vision, until one day very soon

The vision manifests as the veil parts

And the light comes streaming through.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/birthofanewsunwm.jpg

This is no new age fantasy.

This is how the universe works.

It is how it has always worked.

In the beginning not only was the Word.

In the beginning the Creator had a vision.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/canyontreewm.jpg

The Creator visualized this world

In all its diversity, glory and majesty.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/thunderbirdwm.jpg

The Creator visualized our ancestors.

Then the Creator visualized you and me.

In an entirely real sense

Like Athena we sprang fully formed from the mind of the Creator.

In an entirely real sense

We are children of God.

In an entirely real sense

We carry the God-spark within ourselves.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/crowwm.jpg

In the words of Marianne Williamson …

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/slotcanyon2wm.jpg

Or as the Master Jesus said

In words that seem to apply perfectly to these times

Of planetary and personal transfiguration …

As I do these things, so shall you, and greater things.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/bluekachinawm.jpg

Something wonderful is transpiring.

Something amazing, something truly uplifting.

A new reality is being created out of the ashes of the old.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/tendrilswm.jpg

Some still cannot see it for the smoke in their eyes.

Yet, a new world is being visualized into existence by a growing number of people

Who are not “sheeple”

Or puppets dangling on a string

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/shamanwm.jpg

But creators ourselves, made in the image of the Creator.

The effect is nonlocal, morphogenetic, unifying, electrifying.

And it is assisted by the cosmos itself

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/alignmentwm.jpg

Infusing us with all the energy we need

To accomplish the task of renewal we came here to do

After the passing of the old.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/alignment2wm.jpg

Carl Jung once said that breakdown is a prerequisite for breakthrough.

This is a universal truth.

Presently, we are reaching the moment of breakdown.

The breakdown of the old hierarchical system of control and manipulation

Is to be celebrated, not feared.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/tresorejas3wm.jpg

Join those of us visualizing a world with no Big Brother, no war for profit, no banksters,

No mortgage fraud, no compound interest, no taxation without honest representation.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/monumentvalley1wm.jpg

Let us visualize a world with no derivatives, no securitized investments,

No Big Pharma, no Big Oil, no FDA, no FEMA, no nukes, no state secrets.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/canyonlandswm.jpg

Let us visualize a new world where the earth is revered,

Freedom is respected,

Creativity is remunerated,

And genuine community is reestablished.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/softpueblowm.jpg

Visualize letting go of fear and being in the Moment, in the Now

Of this historical transformation into a world society

That is truly ours to bring about.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/crowmedicinewm.jpg

Finally, visualize answering these questions from your heart.

Now that we are on the verge of breakdown,

What will be your contribution to the breakthrough?

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/mitosisofworldswm.jpg

How will you use your divine ability to imagine a new, better reality into being?

What will be your gift, or gifts, to the world you help create?

Eight New Paintings for Summer, with Commentary

SOL LUCKMAN 

One of the most effective ways to deal with the increased energy and time acceleration of these fast and furious days is to engage one’s creativity—pragmatism be damned.

 http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/canyontreewm.jpg

When we’re authentically engaged in our personal creative space, time ceases to exist—rather, we tend to lose our old self-limiting habits of attachment to time’s clever tricks and inconvenient whims.

      http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/slotcanyon2wm.jpg 

The move here, one that is as simple as it is powerful, even reality-altering, is from (not) living in the past and future, to fully inhabiting the Now.

           http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/monumentvalley3wm.jpg  

Perhaps this helps explain why I’ve been so busy lately, without feeling particularly busy: I’ve been “in the zone,” so to speak, creating with abandon.

          http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/southrimsunwm.jpg         

Let me assure you, this way of living internally beats the socks off waiting around for some good news to happen externally. Because, who knows, you may be waiting a while.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/hoodoosunrisewm.jpg    

And maybe, just maybe, following our bliss, harnessing the “Power of Positive Feeling,” is integral in generating the very good events that will eventually make the news.

               http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/moonorganswm.jpg              

For the most part, I've continued my passionate love affair with painting transcendent Southwestern landscapes designed to inspire deep appreciation of the magic inherent in creation.

  http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/canyonlandswm.jpg

 

Nothing is more in the Now than painting—especially with fast-drying media such as ink and gesso, when there’s no time to think about anything except what's happening on the canvas, in the Moment.

                   http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/moonscapewm.jpg                   

And perhaps, just looking at the results, you will find yourself, however briefly, existing entirely in the present as well.

Introducing BEGINNER'S LUKE: Manifesto for a New Fiction

What is BEGINNER’S LUKE?

Quite simply, like nothing you’ve ever experienced before!

Characterized by Reader Views as a “modern-day ALICE IN WONDERLAND” and by Apex Reviews as a “mind-bending journey through the mind of the ultimate iconoclast,” BEGINNER’S LUKE is also, as literature professor Niama Williams has written, a “spiritual journey that you do not want to put down.”

But maybe these responses from internationally acclaimed author Sol Luckman’s six-volume novel series’ “cult following” say even more ...

“I felt as if I was way back when and reading Tom Robbins for the first time!”

“Greetings! I salute the master. I have learned by reading this book I know nothing about writing.”

“All I can say is you are a genius in the making, a master storyteller and a hell of a lot of fun.”

“Fabulous. So different from anything I’ve read, but it kept me enthralled the whole time.”

“A very polished, original take on the comic coming-of-age story.”

“Exhilarating stuff. This book needs to be up there in the charts. Period.”

“Very special, very funny, weird, crazy, delicious.” 

Luke’s signature obsessions with self, sex, satire and slapdash highlight a serious, and life-changing, point: CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES. The point is there is a point to living in the imagination—for only through it can we reinvent our ourselves and our world.

Gripping down, Beginning to Awaken

Sol Luckman

As an undergraduate studying literature back in the 1980s, I became fascinated by the poetry of William Carlos Williams. The incredible starkness, its iconoclastic nature, the startling beauty of its lines.

Years ago I put Williams behind me, as I went about developing my own creativity and style.

But late last night I heard a strange sound when the crazymaking April winds finally calmed up here in the dustbowl of the high desert: tiny, almost rhythmic notes emanating from the metallic vent above the hallway like a tin drum.

At first, I failed to recognize what was happening. “What’s that sound?” I asked Leigh, before answering my own question in one of life’s miniscule epiphanies.

Realizing it had been half a year—at least—since I’d heard that welcome tink-tink-tink, I opened the sliding door to the back patio. Sure enough, a soft atmospheric rain enveloped the nearby mesa and distant cañón.

Raindrops tapped against my outstretched face like unexpected blessings. My senses buzzed with the divine incense of rain-stirred sage on the humid breeze, mixing with the equally indescribable piñon smoke from the kiva, and I went to sleep with the certainty that the seasons, at long last, were changing … for the better.

This morning I awoke to a new world, where globes of crystalline rain hung like microcosms from the bare naked silver of aspen limbs.

“This is the kind of rain that brings on spring,” I whispered, surprised by my own joy, as it seemed I could actually perceive, in a sort of time-lapse, winter loosing its grip on the moonscape it had made.

Then I remembered “By the Road to the Contagious Hospital,” a poem by Williams that constitutes a section of SPRING AND ALL which I once wrote a paper on. Here it is:

By the road to the contagious hospital
under the surge of the blue
mottled clouds driven from the
northeast—a cold wind. Beyond, the
waste of broad, muddy fields
brown with dried weeds, standing and fallen

patches of standing water
the scattering of tall trees

All along the road the reddish
purplish, forked, upstanding, twiggy
stuff of bushes and small trees
with dead, brown leaves under them
leafless vines—

Lifeless in appearance, sluggish
dazed spring approaches—

They enter the new world naked,
cold, uncertain of all
save that they enter. All about them
the cold, familiar wind—

Now the grass, tomorrow
the stiff curl of wildcarrot leaf
One by one objects are defined—
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

But now the stark dignity of
Entrance—Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken 

I instantly felt, gazing out on my local environment in such inarguable transition, while contemplating the greater world experiencing its own massive transformation, that I was living this poem from my past.

Spring is happening to us—on the inner as much as the outer—as we feel ourselves entering a new world naked, uncertain of everything except that we’re entering it.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/birthofanewsunwm.jpg

The process can be painful at times because it is, literally, one of birth—or rebirth.

Do we choose to contemplate the hardened, calcified paradigms of yesterday’s winter—the twiggy, dead stuff of our past?

Or do we embrace spring’s possibilities, even probabilities, as we push up through the crust (hard as that might be) with stark dignity and begin to awaken to a new life?

Perhaps we have no choice, and must learn to adapt to this unprecedented season of the world, and as best we can embrace the profound change that will soon be fully upon us.
