Through Ancient Eyes: Seeing Hidden Dimensions - Exploring Art & Soul Connections

by Neil Hague

Through Ancient Eyes explores how art is a metaphysical activity, while illustrating the art and soul connections that have existed since ancient times. Drawing on a wealth of information, which includes prehistoric art and prophecy, through to the work of William Blake - this fascinating book unlocks ancient wisdom that has in- spired artists from all ages.
Expanding our view of the creative process, we are taken on a journey that weaves together a cornucopia of myths, archetypes and symbols, which through art, can reveal hidden dimensions of the soul. This unique book unravels the symbolism contained within 'Gnosticism' and offers a new insight into the 'Orion mysteries'. The book reveals how the esoteric practices of secret societies and the art of historical artists are connected. What they have in common, artist and priest, is the understanding of a hidden knowledge, which throughout the ages has been used to 'liberate' or 'control' the human psyche.
Using over 100 illustrations, Neil Hague shares his own visions, challenging the conventional view of art, history, science and the symbols of the stars. He offers an alternative perspective, one that sees humanity's role as multidimensional beings, breaking free of the shadows and self-imposed limitations that prevent us from awakening the creator within. He "Ancient peoples used their creativity to communicate with powerful forces that are, once again, raising the vibrations of our planet. Visionaries and prophets, artists and poets (along with filmmakers), throughout history, have all used their 'ancient eyes' to tap into creative consciousness". Through his own unique art, Neil attempts to demystify the spiritual systems, different dimensions and interdimensional forces that interpenetrate our world - many of which have been recorded in art and texts since ancient times.
