| "The Wall" The wall represents a journey to break through internal barriers and limitations. When the artist began the painting, the name, The Wall came to her. She began to paint the distant mountains with her mind. She was not in her experience, heart, or intuition. As she began painting the wall of the distant mountains, she heard her spirit guides say, "We're not going to let you get away with this! You are going to have to be in this experience. Experience it! Live it!" The artist was then sent on a series of journeys to remote wilderness areas. The spirit guides instructed the artist to start at the beginning, which was the bottom of the painting. The flowers at the bottom represent physical reality, while the Devic and imaginary beings represent the spiritual non-physical dimension. After the artist meandered among the flowers, the guides said, "You are dismissed. You are free to begin your journey on the trail." As she walked on the path in the desert, the artist was sidetracked. She noticed that on the left side of the desert, there appeared to be a war going on. A battle of egos, light beings, arguing over who has the most light! As we come into a time when it is recognized that light overcomes shadow, there is competition for light. The artist then meandered back to the main path where she noticed that all the light beings on the main path were not focused on competition. They were focused on the light from their highest self, represented by the sun breaking through the wall. They were on the path going up to their light source, represented by the sun. The artist then had a premonition for the next journey that was to be in the massive wall of mountains. A friend from Sedona mailed the artist a story about her challenging rock climb. Two days later, the artist found herself in a remote mountain range, called the Sawtooth Mountains. She crawled up the extremely steep slope to the sheer rock faces and cliffs. As she challenged herself, and hung off the sides, she experienced fear and being on the edge. SPIRIT told her to keep going. When she climbed to the top she spotted a opening through the massive rocks, known as a "window." After negotiating an extremely difficult climb, she reached the "window." As she sat in this portal she felt personal freedom from internal barriers and fears. When she arrived in her studio that evening she painted this breakthrough in the wall, as a hole with light coming through it from the sun. The sky was then painted with a great deal of freedom. |
