55 - Art Solutions
I am an artist, and many of my dearest personal friends are artists also. When
we first began to talk about such things as “The Scream”, the same words and
experiences were expressed over, and over again.
“The strongest emotions are those of loneliness, unbounded sadness, desperation.
But when I go there to get my inspiration, I am destroying myself. This is
killing me. And further, what I produce may be honest, and it may be artistic,
but frankly, I don’t wish this stuff on my worst enemies.”
A very talented painter told me, “I have stopped painting my own thoughts and
feelings. I have been painting THE SAME PICTURE for 25 years ...”
If we take the energy dimensions into consideration, we can see at once that
there must be clearly something for this gentleman that has been SEEKING A
SOLUTION for 25 years – perhaps a major disturbance in his energy body, or it
may even be a request from his young soul which was never answered, never
fulfilled, and without which nothing else can happen.
One day I said to the painter, and the words just came out of my mouth before I
had a chance to think about it, “The problem with you is that you keep painting
the question. Why don’t you try painting THE ANSWER?”
His mouth dropped open, he stared at me for a time, then he jumped up and
started to paint like a maniac.
And what he was painting were no longer screams, BUT HIS SOLUTIONS, the step
stones OUT of that screaming hell.
To paint the answers rather than the questions or re-state the problem endlessly
is such a simple principle that one can only shake one’s head and find it hard
to believe that this isn’t taught to little children as their first lesson in
art in kindergarten.
But that’s the deal with the enchanted world. Almost immediately, whole new
approaches and new ideas arrive as if by magic and show us how we can solve our
problems in a whole new way – not through even more misery and suffering, but
the polar opposite indeed.
And as simple as it is to resolve an emotional problem that was carried for 50
years or more and let it simply flow away in five minutes flat, it is also just
as simple to create ART SOLUTIONS for the problems of the artists.
A composer heard of the art solutions concept and ran to her studio, sat down
before her keyboard, thought about her worst and oldest problems, her deepest
pain and said out aloud, “And now, give me a melody that is my HEALING
SOLUTION.”
She had not even finished the words when her hands had already moved on the
keyboard and the music she created was the most amazing and beautiful she had
ever produced.
Like the painter, this composer has thus found a rich stream of creativity, a
truly extraordinary form of expression that has the power to awaken hope in the
listener and to call them back towards life.
And what is even more encouraging is that the lady who had the Scream on her
wall listened to this music – and felt it touched her just as deeply, and just
as profoundly.
She never wanted to scream, and least of all for all eternity.
The new music of this composer DOES NOT LIE – it doesn’t pretend there are no
problems, or that there is no suffering. That is the beginning but from this
place of suffering we move forward and out, further and further into a whole new
future.
Everyone has something they can use to try out this fantastic principle for
themselves.
I often say, “Here, this is the problem, now please tell me a story that will be
the solution, or which can help move the problem on and out of that place at
which I’ve become stuck.” As soon as I do that, ideas and pictures begin to flow
and the only problem that remains for me is to try and keep up and write it down
fast enough.
In the same way one can sit with a lump of clay and say, “Now give me a form, a
shape, a sculpture which is the ANSWER to my current problem of (sadness,
illness, loneliness, etc.)!”
One does not have to be a professional artist to do this.
Anyone can do this, even a child, and to begin with simply find a modality for
your art solutions which is the most natural.
A short sequence of sounds becomes a sound healing melody you can hum or sing if you need it.
Simply ask, give me that which I need right now, and simply allow yourself to
draw or dance, to sing, or a story to come to you.
You can even use this principle for shopping and cooking.
The only challenge is to make sure that the consciousness takes a back seat just
for long enough it takes your hands to start moving and not to get in their way.
And even in the beginning and with a first effort, the path to a true art
solution becomes apparent. We can begin to notice that we are moving towards
creating something which was designed by our energy minds, made by our hands,
thoughts or voices and where form, function AND ENERGY are all in harmony
together – a human creation of pure magic, from you, through you and FOR YOU
alone.
Should you ever pass this on to someone else, then you can rest assured that you
gave them something special, an attempt at a solution at least, something that
goes BEYOND simply stating and re-stating the original scream over, and over
again.
