Thoughts on a Multi-Dimensional Universe
Reading back on old books and journals, I see that I was already talking about the Devas being Multi-Dimensional energies in 1980 or so. If you think about it, of course, that makes complete sense … even in our limited 3-D world the idea that we inhabit the same dimension as everyone else is fairly laughable. I remember my brother saying that he could almost have been brought up in another family, our memories were so different (he didn’t remember anything before age 7, which I thought was quite strange). Then, when I began to paint what I call my Big Pictures (see, for instance, Night Dancers, in the Art tab) it was apparent that they didn’t inhabit the same spacial universe as we do – it was as if they existed at 60 degrees to us. The more I read, the more I got that we understood very little – scientists explaining things in terms of atoms and particles, or even muons and god particles, miss the point. I’m not surprised they talk about dark energy … dark energy is what they have never really got their heads round, have they: dark energy is Mind, consciousness, not matter at all.
So mind can create matter, but matter cannot create mind. Or, to be more precise, Mind on the scale of the 11th Dimension Cosmic Consciousness can create matter. And that I guess is what the Multi-Dimensional Devas are all about. Our 3-D minds wouldn’t even be able to grasp the 6th or 7th dimension, so different would it be. We are so rubbish at diversity, so incapable of seeing the necessity of difference, that if we encountered a 6th Dimensional being we’d probably kill it (or try to).
Of course, the paintings in the Multi-Dimensional Deva deck are my concept of the different dimensions. We’ll never be able to see into these universes, unfortunately, although some people have amazing, lucid dreams where they wander through places we can barely imagine. I am fortunate to be able to paint such strange worlds, and even more fortunate to be able to share them with you. To get a glimpse of the worlds I’ve visualised, have a look at the Multi-Dimensional Devas page under Oracles (it also has its own website).
Sculpture
Recently I've been making a clay sculpture for a friend. I use special self-hardening clay sourced from the US – it's a clay and epoxy mix, which dries hard in 24 hours, and you can then drill it, carve it, and paint it. The friend wanted a Madonna for the little...
Spring Manifestation
After a long winter, we are finally seeing the true signs of spring in Tuscany - daffodils in the garden, and hints of the first delicate green leaves on the trees. It's not that the winter was very cold, but it was very, very wet - I think it rained most days...
Media
I saw an email today where my correspondent said they'd love to know about art, materials and anything else that I might be offering. That's lovely to hear, and gives me an idea about my ‘thought for today’. I use oils most of the time now, although I know people tend...
January 1st 2021
1st January is a good time to think, especially after the year we’ve just left behind. So many people have been saying we need to get away from the ‘old’ normal, not go back to it (usually people with more than one brain cell to run together). But even if so many of...
Reading for the World
I wanted to look at the year ahead. Using the Devas of Creation, I asked, 1) Will the world situation improve in 2021? Answer – Immanence (the card I call Gabriel). It's a lovely card, although the angelic being seems a little stuck on earth, even though it wants to...
