From the Outside In
“From the Outside In” illustrates the process of moving from superficial belief systems to a higher spiritual awareness. We can go through life without thinking much at all. The dull indistinct shapes in the background of the painting reflect these weak thoughts. The transition to the next stage of basic observation is shown in the eight circles. Each of these is pulled into a state of higher consciousness found evident in the eight smaller circles: (beginning center left, clockwise)
š Water flows from a higher point eventually creating a flat surface- the ship eventually disappears at the horizon because the earth is curved.
š The sun rises in the east and sets in the west- the sun is stationary while the earth rotates.
š All stars appear to us as pinpoints of light- the largest stars are actually 50,000 times more illuminating than our sun.
š White light is colorless- a prism refracts light into all colors.
š The divine force is separate from us- the divine force is everything.
š The grave, church and pyramid are symbols of the mistaken location of a person after death- death severs the silver cord freeing the soul, leaving behind the physical total of what had been consumed.
š Individual thoughts are secrets from others- all secret thoughts are an open book to the universe.
š Birth progresses to death in one life- Lugdi Bai/Shanti Devi is the classic case of the continuation of life.
The realization of connectedness and oneness gravitates to the glorious awareness of immortality.
