A desert arch is
Perhaps loveliest
When framing
A celestial body
Such as the full moon

A celestial body
Such as the full moon
Is arguably happiest
When framed by
A desert arch

Sacred Foothill

The Sacred Foothill
Becomes especially important
In wintertime

When the driving snow comes
And you can no longer see
The Sacred Mountain above

Small though it may be,
As one ascending
Out of the darkness
Toward the Light,

I need this foothold in sanity
To remain steady
In the whiteout of chaos
That is the world

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.

Eight New Paintings

Sol Luckman

"Beneath Sol Luckman's spare lines are universes of strokes, careful and conscious applications of brush movement to impart unseen dimensions, hint at that which we only experience subtly. This is amazing work." Art Rosch, professional photographer

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

As a longtime novelist and writer of nonfiction books, that I have been drawn to paint with ink certainly is not lost on me.

   http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/tresorejas3wm.jpg
And as I am when composing actual words, in my paintings I am committed to exploring and depicting energy—specifically, that engrossing spiral of universal creative energy that is consciousness.

http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/totempolemonumentwm.jpg
I see the world, and paint it, with a shaman’s eyes, as a place not wholly solid, but informed by a kinetic vibrancy that is fundamentally intelligent.

         http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/wallartwm.jpg       
I am describing, of course, Great Spirit.

         http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/monumentvalley2wm.jpg        
For Great Spirit is the world, just as the world is Great Spirit.

      http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/slotcanyonwm.jpg   
And not one of us is left out of this simple, all-encompassing equation.

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

It is my intention that you, too, will see this universe of energy in my paintings—as objects condition space with their essence, and vice versa, and the outside conflates with the inside because All Is One.
