The band of beautiful angels, all in white with their wonderful wings, burst out. That's not in my Bible. The glory of the Lord shone round about them. Through the ever-present popularity of shadow work comes the gift of light. Light transforms, and more importantly radiates outward, what comes from within.
Light is a gift and becomes our visitor in dream, in experience, and in the artistic process.
How can such visual poetry on paper become such madness in a personality. In my own experience, as an artist and purveyor of transformational paths, I can admit that the Pandora's Box of virtues that lay hidden in the unconscious, if not illuminated through the process of the great work, shall in fact manifest in personality through addiction, hatred, violence, and self-loathing. I am reminded that the great work is what bridges shadow and light. The alchemical marriage of duality grounded in Mother Earth and fed by the warm silent rays of the sun presents a visual display for the artist. What marks the canvas is either the impression of the shadow, creating narrative drama for the viewer, or the gift of having worked through that projection into pure archetypal, universal image.
