“Message From Source” is what God looks like.
The Divine doesn’t come first from above, but from our insides.
This mini-series, “Message From Source”, was created in 2021. It is made only in graphite, and it was born from my connection with the feminine (Source). Something natural, profound, and ancient. A language that our psyche—and not our rational mind—speaks.
We were conditioned to believe that everything sacred and divine comes from above us, from the “heavens”. That what is good is supposed to be clear, light, direct, and linear. For us to ascend to an elevated state, we need to avoid and reject our bodies and everything that is mystified by what is incomprehensible to our intellect. That which is mysterious, dark, and veiled is deemed bad, wrong, and evil. That is a poisoned condition for a human being to live by. To see their own home, their bodies, as an enemy. But this narrative is only a projection of the fearful—and cunning— Mind.
The Truth is, most of the time, quite the opposite of what our reality convinces us of. To connect with something beyond the ordinary, we need to go within and beneath fear (our heads). From below and from within, the divine manifests. Silence is the key to any phenomenon that surpasses the mundane, the noise, the explicit-the Mind. So we begin from there: Silence. Silence is dark, silence is Wise.
The Mind is fear. The Soul and its home, the body, is trust. When the mind follows the soul and the wisdom that comes from silence, we become wise, and our lives are blessed by it. The mind is an artifact, while the soul is the expression of our divine essence. And this essence is first dark, profound, atemporal. It becomes light with our connection with Spirit (the sacred fire) and later, through the mind’s eye, recognition, and understanding. The Mind needs to follow to become one with the divine. The Mind's purpose is to decode God/Source.
That is what I wanted to convey through this mini-series. To express the primordial aspects of the Divine. That is why I chose the raven as a symbol of our connection to what is beyond the rational. This bird is known, spiritually, as a messenger from the veiled realms—a wise and mystic figure. It lives in the dark, and it soars to the surface to deliver its messages. We experience the same phenomenon when we close our eyes. When we silence the mind, we can hear the soul’s language, and its language is Truth.
