Artifacts of Transformation

     How does art enter eternity? George Harrison said, “All Things Must Pass,” and this is a true-ism that is impossible to deny. No manifested object can last as the nature of the 3D realm is transitory and ephemeral. Through the gate of personal transformation lies the lasting effect of inspiration and its legacy on human development.
     Production done as a glorification of the Ego or as a spillage of unconscious torment does not qualify as divine art. It is part of the personal working out of karma which can be done very well, and may be quite interesting when taken as a reflection of a certain state of mind. Sometimes the impetus of a tumultuous expression may even break the surface of illusion, and for a moment bask in the brilliant life-giving sun before falling once again even deeper into the shade.
     It is the artifacts constructed as a soulful transmission of our Source that can open the doorway to our higher selves and bring us a realm closer to the original point of universal conception. The artist becomes as Osho might say, the meeting of the Earth and the Sky; a conduit to bring the Holy Message of Truth to the World. Even as the priest claims to be the representative of God, artists, musicians, and writers are showing themselves to be His True Spirit Warriors. The surface form is not nearly as important as the substance behind it, and the standard of success is the resulting happiness one feels from the process.
     We remember Beethoven, a composer from the early 1800s, and still listen to his works. He was able to reveal an aspect of the Astral Realms on a scale that up to that point had not been realized (except perhaps in the East). What a service to civilization! The tune for “Ode to Joy” resonates in the very vibration of the Creative Cosmos. This is why the music lives on and returns to us from the inside out.
     Will it continue to move us in 1000 years? 10,000 years? Do we remember any art from 10,000 years ago? The Pyramids, the Sphinx, and Stonehenge, are examples of monuments that continue to inspire us in our search for who we are. They awaken a remembrance of a more profound destiny. Unified in historical context as an expression of Humanity on Earth, these landmarks reflect the longing of the soul to reach back to the stars.
     True importance lies not in a specific artifact itself, but in the transformation it elicits in the individual exposed to it. Through inspiration (intuition in action), the artist tunes into the higher vibratory rate of another dimension of Existence and holds in mind a Vision. They must then proceed to manifest in this 3D world something which inevitably will be but a reflection of what they have witnessed in the 4D world.
     In so doing, some of the wonder and magnificence of the original is lost as is always the case when bringing the higher to the lower, but the goal is to try to capture something of the mystical experience as a means of awakening that very thing in the observer. When recognition is found in a receptive heart, the participating person will be transported to the realm from which the artwork derived and experience firsthand the phenomenon originally felt by the artist.
     Through this process, the observer is forever changed. Having experienced something which can never be un-experienced, they will for all time carry the affect of the work to which they were exposed. In the soul of the transformed individual, the legacy of art lives on long after fleeting moments of Time.
