Cosmic Therapy Through ART

Cosmic Therapy through ART is a decidedly regulated enjoyable practice you may undertake by an act of will realizing that the creation, application, presentation, revelation, and preservation of ART and the study thereof belongs to all men. No one person possesses a monopoly of talent for or the lack of ability to generate it. Everyone is an artist in his own right. The vital importance of your artistic contribution to mankind can not be overstated. You have a supreme gift which should be redeemed, recognized and recorded for your own sake. You are currently residing on Earth, not be accident, but for a subtlety disguised purpose. That unique purpose, hidden in you, along with your energetic presence will not go unnoticed. Your life’s story told through ART represents immeasurable value and laudable merit in the entire divine scheme of things. It’s all a matter of coming to that place where we all can appreciate the sacred messages hidden behind and beyond the artistic representations. That cosmically therapeutic place where assumptions are forfeited and preferences are discarded for the sake of the indisputable truth of the divine essence being briefly held in captivity, encased in a temporary form for all to behold and interact. Bottom line: It is you telling the part of God’s story through ART!

Your personally conceived vision no matter how poorly constructed or elaborately devised is but a whiff of the exhilarating aroma that points to something spectacular in motion. Through each man’s ART, we are allowed the opportunity to expand our horizons. From beginning to end, we are privy to the see into the eyes of experience of the multitudes of unnamed and unnumbered artists. By using the principles offered in Cosmic Therapy through ART, we may come to really appreciate, value, and honor the stroke of our own and the other’s exclusive mark. Our rigid minds are encouraged to explode breaking down the prejudiced barriers we maintain. We become fully present as we stop to contemplate the suppleness of each man’s divine purpose demonstrated in his work. If we would but stop long enough to acknowledge the divine’s presence in the ordinary things, we open ourselves to receive and participate in a life filled to overflowing zeal and enthusiasm. An emblematic merging occurs as the onlooker is allowed to ingest the vision of grandeur so wittily covered up. A reassuring feeling of comprehension takes hold as we, the viewer, along with the other artists embrace the interconnectivity revealed in all things. We stand in humble appreciation as we are reverently permitted to blend with all of creation in the cohesive whole, while gazing into another’s work, instead of breaking them into fragmented biased pieces. The artistic work of the man in prison or the homeless man on the street or the crack addict, etc. is endowed with sacred magnificence.

ART is the truest reflection of what the artist is attracted to. He/she displays in panoramic view what interests him the most. ART manifests as the result of an unquenchable thirst to answer a deeply held mystery of some sort. It could be as simple as why a marriage ended or what to do with a jealousy issue you’ve not been able to resolve. ART can not lie. If one chooses to engage in Cosmic Therapy through ART he is voluntarily acknowledging that he wants the inner vault of truth to be retrieved and the contents exposed. ART can be liberating to the artist and the viewer alike. By entering into a piece of artistic work, you are in essence revealing what’s going on with you at that precise moment. ART acts as the unfulfilled secret until disclosed. The third silent party is always working through the artist’s hand until a dimension of suppressed truth has been thoroughly explored by the artist himself. This sight is not pretty! Nor is it supposed to be. Though the artist may possess an inkling of the form he wishes to capture, he is always surprised when the results are tabulated. It is never as he/she expects it to be.

That is why an artist can never really interpret or critique his own work. He knows without saying that he is not the source of it. He was used as the instrument to create it but the invisible sacred force carved it into final existence. It’s sort of like a great romance, one that involves great sex, fabulous interaction, splendid communication, laughter, an intimate connection with overflowing uplifting enjoyment. Unexpectedly, the affair ends and you are left with the impossibility of trying to explain why. There are no explanations. It was good while it lasted. The offended opinion of your involvement in the relationship was less than the creative experience that evolved from it. Although you were on the inside of the relationship, you realize it was not solely dependent upon you or the other for the reality of the union. It’s then and only then that you realize that God, in whatever way perceived established, maintained, produced and ended the relationship. Genuine ART falls under the same guidelines.

Undeniable passion is what guides every artist. He would be dead otherwise. He wants and needs to express his innermost ideas. He yearns to feel connected with that which is beyond his comprehension and that which can be seen, heard, touched and experienced. But, often times, humans tend to sell themselves short by comparing what they can contribute to something they perceive as far beyond their widow mite’s donation. This generally held misconception is one of the reasons Cosmic Therapy is so vital. I would reiterate that everyone on this planet has something of worthwhile value to contribute. ART incorporates every facet of one’s reality. From the breath taking masterpieces that hang in the world’s renowned museums, to the wobbly paintless worn thin rocking chair situated on the shabbily planked front porch of the sometimes forgotten small farmer’s house, the divine is artistically encased. As man so chooses, he alone symbolizes that unique thread of divinity found within him. The God Force, Universal Spirit, Cosmos, Father, Mother, Goddess {And any other sacred reference I have neglected to add} operates in the artist exactly where his feet are planted and in the precise amount of talent the artist is ready and willing to convey. Cosmic Therapy reminds you to seek no other artistic demonstration other than your own; with that candid picture’s appearance you will fill the enormous void of your life. No other thing can do it. That which you search for is found within the manifestation of your very own communicative artistic display. It’s a matter of unflinching conviction: to be nothing, do nothing, say nothing, feel nothing, appease nothing nor nobody until you are appeased. Then and only then can you completely show up for another.
