Creation : Artistic and Spiritual

Izvor #223

by Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

The laws of true artistic creation are identical with the laws of spiritual creation. The creative work of an artist is exactly the same work of inner regeneration as that undertaken by one who is striving for spiritual perfection. Just as an artist uses paint and canvas, clay or bronze to create a work of art, so a spiritual person uses the raw materials of his or her own being in striving towards inner perfection.

[Rachele Bianco · Rating 5 out of 5]

In quanto artista, sono stata attirata dal titolo del libro.
È una piccola lettura ma davvero potentissima!
Sono rimasta molto colpita dai ragionamenti dall’autore, li ho trovati autentici e fuori dal comune (in senso positivo).
Un libro da leggere più e più volte nel corso della vita.

[Jacqueline Nalbandyan]

Everyone is an artist if they are brave enough to not hide from responsibility which has to do with each and all of the daily 'schedule'. Artists are not required to be addicts and it is true that we are yet to reach a complete 'initiation' into the significance of art. It is art that transmutes our impulses, transmutation is art - without impulses there is no art, however we are equipped with all the 'instruments' necessary to refine and to purify all of our 'ways' or our expression of what it 'means' to free ourselves and to forgive ourselves. Art elevates us and more often than not we are ennobled through art, we expand our awareness, we feel that the world soul pulses through all of creation and that we are the world soul in its redemption, we are beings that can operate from a point of actual serenity which is zero resistance to the Omni-will and which is in ceaseless dynamic motion - therefore it is gracious and it is intelligent.
