Aesthetics: n. 1) the branch of philosophy dealing with such notions as the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic, etc., as applicable to the fine arts, with a view to establishing the meaning and validity of critical judgments concerning works of art, and the principles underlying or justifying such judgments.
2) the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty.
Amnesia: n. The perception that one has lost interrelated memories, complete or partial. See Divine Amnesia.
Affirmation: n. An affirmation is a statement or proposition that is declared to be true. Through the use of it, the consciousness assists itself in building spiritual perceptual constructs (see glossary). In this way, spiritual growth toward the perception of spiritual matter is enhanced, as the mind internalizes the spiritual thought within its subconscious self.
By filling the conscious and subconscious parts of oneself with the spiritualized thought, growth is made toward the perception of synchronistic aspects of the higher Spiritual Reality that are related to it. Overall, the affirming mind literally assists itself spiritually, by changing its orientation from outer concerns to inner ones through the use of affirmations.
Apprehension: n. A faculty of the self, wherein one’s perception is direct and immediate (see intuition).
Aum: n. Enunciated as Om, It is one of the most important spiritual sounds. Aum refers to the Soul, or perceived Realized Self-within, and its Perception of Self-as-Spirit, which is the Ultimate Reality one may realize within a physical lifetime. Aum is the entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, and knowledge realized within devotional meditation. It is the intuited Sound that is Spirit, which is You. Meditation on Aum dissolves egoic self-conceptualizations, and self-identity is transformed from self-as-physical to Self-as-Spirit.
Aum Meditation Technique: n. The use of the observer-self’s (knower’s) focus upon the sounds perceived with the intuitive self (knowing-self), through the Spirit (known-self). The method of the technique is the one-pointed focus of the intuitional faculty upon the loudest sound heard within oneself, while always looking with the focused mind upward to the spiritual eye.
Belief: n. An opinion or conviction that is confident in the truth or existence of something.
Belief Construct: n. A collection of beliefs that work together to determine personal definitions, and ultimately determine how we experience reality (see also perceptual construct).
Body-Scan: n. The willful and concentrated focus of the mind upon the energy rising (tingling) within each part of the body. The conscious mind’s focus moves from foot to head, and from left-side to right-side, and culminates in the building of a perceptual construct-of-self as a spiritualized form (orb). The orb is then consciously expanded beyond this echoing shape of the physical body, to that of a sphere, or circle.
Conceptually, the perceptual construct is one that entails understanding that the energy-tingling perceived within the body part, is a prelude to the manifestation of conscious, intuitive awareness of the feel and sensation of the soul's projected spiritual energy. This is a preliminary expansion of the mind’s conscious awareness of spiritual matter.
Conceptual Framework: n. The mental combination of relevant variables, characteristics, or features, that together create a map of perception and Higher Realization.
Consciousness: n. Intelligent awareness. When spiritualized through devotional meditation upon a Higher Point (perceptually conceptualized Higher framework of one’s experiential understanding, or experiential perception of Spirit’s Presence), the intelligent awareness of the being is made Infinite.
Devotional Love: n. A profound and earnest affection felt and expressed for another.
Dimension: n. A realm of perception within which consciousness exists. This is an intuitive perceptual construct, meaning that it is spiritual and thus de-limiting. There are many dimensions within which human consciousness may exist, including mental, temporal, astral, and causal.
Discern: verb (used with object)
Ego, or ego-self: n. Unspiritualized self-conceptualization. It is the disease of deception of perceptual-limitation, and must be put into remission, via devotional meditation.
In relatively recent history, the ego-idea originated in the work of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), as a part of his pursuit to conceptualize self through personality traits. Freud’s theories are not spiritual, so this word is borrowed from Freud, only to play the part of a morality-idea place-holder that functions without Spiritual Illumination within the self. Overall, when the author uses the idea of the ego, she is referencing the limiting self-perceptions, or negative (unspiritualized) self-conceptualization of one’s experience.
Epiphany: n. a sudden, intuitive perception of, or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. Epiphanies are the thoughts and Higher realizations that present naturally within the observer-self’s focus, and inform the individual’s mind about spiritual insights beyond the ego-consciousness’ perceptual abilities.
Faculty: n. an ability, natural or acquired, for a particular kind of action
God: n. The Supreme Spiritual Being of Intelligent Force within the manifested universe, Who is always Present within the consciousness (whether consciously realized or not). He is Omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnibenevolence (supremely good), and is knowable through realization of Christ-Consciousness within meditation. God is Spirit. All consciousness, dimensions, substance, and ether are created from this Spirit.
Guru: n. 1) Hinduism. a preceptor giving personal religious instruction.
2) an intellectual or spiritual guide or leader.
3) Any person who counsels or advises; mentor:
Intuition: n. A spiritual faculty of the self, wherein one makes the direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.
It is through the intuition that the Spirit communicates with human consciousness, in the form of direct perception of the communications within self-structures only, but may seem to be outside of self, playing out in physical reality as synchronous or miraculous events.
Intelligent Force: n. A faculty of the self, wherein the energy of reasoning and understanding is exerted.
Joy: n. the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation. It is the emotional perception of the realization of God’s Spirit within oneself. The state-of-joy literally funnels intuition, and acts as a ‘lubricant’ within the consciousness for spiritual growth. It also effectively dissolves all remnants of the ego-self.
Meditation: n.
Metaphysician: n. an expert in, or student of, the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being and knowing. The metaphysician’s main practice is meditation upon the Presence of God.
Mind: n. The aspects of intelligence and consciousness manifested as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination. It contains all conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. It is the collective cognitive processes that are used before the level of intuition, wherein when the latter is utilized, the consciousness sees beyond the mind’s abilities into the Spiritual Realm. "Mind" is often used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason.
Multifaceted Self: n. The Self as a Spiritual-triad of self-relational structures within self-conceptualization. The meditator who knows himself multifaceted through experience, has meditated upon each parts of his inner construction: the knower-self (observer-self), the known-self (object of one’s focus, i.e., Spirit), and the knowing-self (the expanded state of what seems to be beyond thought, i.e., intuition). That is, observer, Spirit, intuition.
Multidimensional Self: The Spiritualized, or Self-Realized Consciousness. The multidimensional self, when understood by the consciousness, is able to communicate and perceive through multiple spiritual dimensions. All perceptions originating from physical-reality limiting frameworks have been deconstructed and made transparent through devotional meditation upon the Spirit.
The ability of the consciousness to perceive through multiple dimensions is testable by the self. This is done through interiorization of the mind upon a single point (the Spirit Perceived within oneself), and the presentation of a question with the sincere, devotional desire of a student to his Master Teacher, for the knowledge of His answer. Once posed to the Spirit, and without expectation of a response in any particular way, the Spirit presents naturally within the mind and the life of the individual, the answer to the question.
This is an advanced spiritual-evolutionary process, and conscious perception of answers to questions posed (direct perception/intuition, synchronicities, and epiphanies), provide ‘proof’ of consciousness’ existence beyond the limitations of the dimension of only the physical. The Self-Realized Soul is a consciousness able to navigate multiple dimensions.
Mystic: n. An individual who seeks through contemplation and self-surrender, to obtain unity with, or absorption into, his or her chosen Deity (Christ/Guru/Master), or absolute Conception of God (the Father Spirit beyond creation.) All mystics obtain through spiritual methods employed with a meditative state, the use of inner faculties of perception (intuition), and the experience of the chosen Higher Focus, which is an alignment of the consciousness to an identity within It.
Beyond the tools of the mind’s faculties, some mystics are able to employ methods that reap evidence in physical reality, of the Deity’s or Spirit’s communications. This is the evidential mystic, able to produce psychic phenomena in physical reality, which seems extraordinary to those untrained, but is truly only an intuitive display of the mystic’s comprehension of Spiritual Reality.
Negative Belief Deconstruction: n. Beliefs create feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and then experiences. By conscious examination and deconstruction of negative beliefs (see chapter titled Introduction in Drawing With The Master), and replacement of such with positive beliefs formulated in the now, or present moment, the conscious-identity of the person begins to orient to positive perceptual constructs, creating a platform-of-self within his own mind of Higher Truths that are unlimited. Negative self-identity limits consciousness, restricting it from experiencing Higher Perceptual Constructs, which are necessary to realize one’s spiritual sight, or other spiritual gifts.
Observer-Self: n. A faculty of consciousness that is a perceptual construct; that is, it is a defining conceptual structure-of-self that is built with intuited perceptions. All spiritual perceptual constructs work to de-limit consciousness.
The observer-self is realized in identity as the self who looks to perceive only God’s Spirit.
Observer-State: n. The state of realizing consciously the Higher Spirit within oneself, as oneself, through the use of a Body-Scan. It is the experiential state of one’s consciousness, wherein joy and peace reign, perception of time and ego dissolve, and one’s consciousness is spiritualized (made intuitive). The observer-state is a natural faculty of the mind, and awareness and establishment of it is accomplished through the implementation of a body-scan.
When the consciousness is submerged within the observer-state, it is spiritually-shifted, and the ego, time, and space perceptually become non-existent to awareness. The observer-self is a faculty that is a perceptual construct; that is, it is a defining conceptual structure-of-self that is built with intuited perceptions. All spiritual perceptual constructs work to de-limit consciousness.
Paradox: n. A spiritual teaching mechanism meant to awaken intuitive faculties through the conscious observation of It. It is any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature to the observer-self’s self-awareness (absent of ego).
In Intuitive Drawing, a visual paradox is the conscious realization of an ‘impossible’ image (and with development through practice, this visual acumen extends into physical reality beyond art production). That is, the experience of realizing a visual paradox is the moment the mind realizes it has created a completed part of the work at hand, without any conscious intention. This presents the contradictory nature to one’s assumptions that consciousness is limited, as the ability to switch into the observer-state, enables an interlocking of that state with that of the known-self (Spirit), as well as the knowing-self (intuition). The reality that the creation of a drawing that seemingly ‘appears’ without accessing underlying cognitive structures, seems impossible, but proves otherwise, through practice and use of devotional meditation, the body-scan, and shifting of the consciousness into Higher States.
Peace: n. Freedom from disturbance; tranquility.
Perception: n. A faculty of the mind, wherein apprehension is made by the five physical senses, or intuition.
Perceptual Construct: n. The creation within self of a defining conceptual structure that is built with perceptions (five physical senses or intuition). All spiritual perceptual constructs work to de-limit consciousness.
Qualities of God: (see God)
Rapture: n. Rapture is a state-of-consciousness in which 'you' are carried into a Higher Perceptual Experience of Existence. Through devotional meditation upon the Presence of God, the consciousness looks out and through the spiritual eye and experiences Infinite Comprehension, and ever-increasingly realizes for himself that the Spirit Perceived is the definition of Living Intuition. This understanding is realized through non-inferential knowledge, or the consciousness' use of the Mechanism Itself. With time and practice within this altered, heightened state-of-inner-focus, the unconscious’ use of intuition is made Conscious, and the Higher Spirit's functional geometry is revealed.
Physical Body: n. The direct and personal experience of the Spirit of God moves the consciousness from a focus on, and identity with, the physical body. The ascetic abstains from the normal pleasures in life as a part of his religious observance, but when one’s Soul is realized through deep meditation and samadhi, and self-identity becomes self-as-the-Divine, the physical body is seen for what it is, a vehicle for the manifestation of God’s Spirit.
Reflective Reference: An act wherein you plumb the memory of the intuitive drawing experience, to recall the information intuited. This process is applicable within any recollection. The process, as outlined in the text, should be employed daily, both within artistic endeavors, as well as Living Life.
To reflectively reference something, one begins with an experiential memory. For example, the experience of a sitting in front of your drawing. Next, within the observer-state, one shifts-within himself to include the simultaneous experience of all parts of his Reflective visual acumen; these are the triad parts of the structure of the Soul. That is, to reflectively reference a memory, and Realize Intuition that is meant for Your Self’s Journey, one must become Spirit, through the alignment of the perceptual energies of the experience of each of the triad parts, simultaneously. This takes Practice. It is the Experience of the knower, Known, and knowing selves, or the observer, Spirit Perceived, and intuition, concurrently. These as One, are then willed as a Whole Experiential Expression of Self-Understanding within one’s Intelligent Focus upon the Spirit, and through this state, one may now plumb Intuitively the recollection of the experience, and Perceive Beyond the thinking mind, the Expression meant for Higher Comprehension.
Overall, the Experience is a dissolution of egoic and physical comprehension and faculties, which are replaced by the Higher Perceptual Comprehension-of-Self, as existing within a peaceful acceptance of one’s Present (Now) Position.
Samadhi: n. the union of the meditator, process of meditation, and the Object of meditation, or God. In Hindu yoga, this is regarded as the final stage, at which union with the divine is reached (before or at death).
Self: n. The triangular structure of consciousness, made up of knower, Known, and knowing identities, created through the reflection of consciousness upon the neutral plane of physical reality, as well as through meditation upon the Highest Spirit Conceivable.
Conscious self-understanding is created through the formation of beliefs by way of thoughts and emotions, and manifests within physical reality as behaviors and experiences. The self evolves in understanding through physical, mental, and spiritual stages of reflective insight, and prepares for its own spiritual growth and Higher self-realization of Self-as-Soul, by utilizing negative belief deconstruction to build self-transparency, as well as meditation upon the Presence of the Spirit, to Realize Self-as-Spirit.
Self-Identity: n. the identity, or consciousness of the identity of a thing with itself. Self-identity is a reflective mechanism of the mind.
Self-Realization: n. Self-realization is yoga or "Oneness" with Truth — the direct perception or experience of Truth by the all-knowing Intuitive Faculty of the soul that ‘you’ are One with the Spirit of God.
Self-Transparency: n.
Soul: n. The Spiritual, Eternal Self. The individual who is Self-Realized is reflecting his Soul through his one-pointed focus upon the Spirit. The Soul can be perceived through the spiritual eye, and is a reflective Light that pulls consciousness to It.
Soul-Symbols: n. Artistic creations that are descriptive of the process of shifting the consciousness’ focus into a spiritualized state. Soul-symbol creation begins within the observer-state, and the experience is one of transcription, or copying. It seems to the artist that he is watching with his shifted self, and spiritual information is visibly apparent upon the paper to be copied.
Soul-symbol characteristics include the following visual experiences within the artist’s mind: visual illusion and paradox. Identifying these via development of soul-symbols upon the paper, utilizes intuitional indices that are personalized through experience, and are Spiritual Indicators for a Spiritual Skill easily learned by anyone.
In the Exercise of their creation, the aspirant has practiced within meditation, the building of experiential perception of all three parts of the triad formation of the Soul’s Matrix, and utilizes this Knowledge of the Experience with Devotion, and within the Drawing’s Perception. By the conscious recognition of the absence of ego-constructs within the drawing experience, as well as the conscious perception of a ‘loss’ of time, after it has been finished, the Freedom Perceived in this ‘beyond the physical’ perceptual experience, then buoys an aspiring artist forward within and without, radiating to the mind its maturing steps within the development of Intuition as Symbol. These result in Consciously Realized communications from the Soul, and are a description of the Experience.
Space: n.
1) the unlimited or incalculably great three-dimensional realm or expanse in which all material objects are located and all events occur.
2) the portion or extent of this in a given instance; extent or room in three dimensions:
3) extent or area in two dimensions; a particular extent of surface:
Fine Arts.
Spirit: n. The Consciousness and Intelligent Awareness of God, which is the singular ingredient and vibration out of which all creation manifests.
Spiritual: To be spiritual, is reference to Higher Truth in some way, so that perceptions become spiritualized through one-pointed focus of the consciousness upon its object (Spirit).
Spiritualized Consciousness: n. The consciousness is lifted from an egocentric orientation to a one-pointed focus upon the Highest Spirit Perceived within himself. That is, he decides by use of his Intelligent Will, to focus his mind only upon the Highest perceptual construct he knows. Meditation upon the Spirit’s Qualities of joy, love, and peace, while looking at It within the spiritual eye, or upon the monotone surface you have created, enables this shift within the self to occur.
Spiritual Eye: n. A part of the Spiritual Body through which the consciousness may observe the Higher Spirit. As a spiritual aspirant learns to devotionally meditate, methods such as meditation upon Aum, or the use of the Hong Sau Meditation, assists in ‘opening’ this intuitive mechanism. What is perceived first is the perception of a ‘veil’, and as submersion into the Spirit increases within meditation, the veil is lifted, and the observer and Spirit are Realized as One.
Spiritual Gift: n. The realization of a path of discernment of the Spirit. Through this gift, evidence is made apparent to the consciousness in some way, of the Presence of the Higher Consciousness, and is able to manifest evidence of It, through an intuitive object of description (speech, drawing, writing, experience, work).
Spiritual Gifts are meant to be used in physical-reality, and applicable in everyday life. In Christianity, the gift of discernment, means the “discernment of spirits,” as in 1 Corinthians 12:10. The spiritual aspirant is able through his concentrated and willful focus upon God’s Spirit, to comprehend himself as the inner Spiritual Sound of His Voice, or to see himself as the Spiritual Matter with his own expanded, Spiritual Sight. Spiritual Gifts are the result of Spiritual Comprehension that is built through experience of the Spiritual perception, and is only experienced in the realization of Now.
Spiritual Guide: n. (see Spiritual Master)
Spiritual Interpreting: n. A faculty of the superconscious Self (Higher Mind), wherein reflective-reference of free-associated past experiences-of-self, with an object of its focus (triangle, for example), builds visual-identity-structures-of-self, that once plumbed in this way, are identified consciously. Then, the interpreter proceeds to examine consciously, the plumbed experiences of association, and consciously imbues the object (triangle) with this newly conscious, discovered meaning through the effort/experience. This creates a conscious Spiritual Highway between the conscious and the superconscious-self, by making the connection of the shape to the experientially-historical meaning. In this way, the practice of noticing "intuitive meanings" for shapes (as in this example) are easily "imbued" with the truth of your limitation of that symbol.
The process continues beyond only shape-meaning "intuitive-building." For myself, the stage after these basic-intuitive-associations turned quickly through artistic-intuitive-reflective-practice, to a new intuitive-turn of my own "relationship" with language. Within language and as a devotional writer, I now "sit within at a distance," and watch through what seems a joy that is not of my own creation, and what appears if I am drawing, is copied in this joyful "condition"; or, if I am writing, it seems The Presence, well... is Present, and through word-examination within "what is delivered", the literal meaning of things are examined. At this juncture, I intuitively follow what is presented, which is built upon a respect for my own experiences, as they are what I reference. And none of this is any different than what any human being does, except for the transparency of self within the examination of anything, which literally exposes in every situation experienced, the truth of your own "within-alignment." <<<~~~ so there may be some "ego-bending." And now, I am smiling!
Spiritual Master: n. The Consciousness of God’s Consciousness presented to the world as a Guide toward the individual’s Union with God’s Spirit. Spiritual Masters guide through perfect example and Spiritual Wisdom of the Spirit. One may realize his Spiritual Guide’s Consciousness for himself through devotional meditation upon all aspects of his or her Form.
Spiritual Matter: n. An oxymoron expressing the special effect of Spirit (the Soul) as matter (a physical substance). The conceptualization may be understood through meditation upon the Spirit that all matter (visible and invisible) is made of Spirit.
Spiritual matter is a reflective mechanism that responds to one’s will and focus. It can be seen, and manifests to the mind through the development of intuition. This sixth sense is meant to be utilized, but only works through the fuel of the higher states achieved within oneself and his devotional efforts. By concentrating with one’s will upon higher states, such as love, peace, joy, etc., the meditator effectively engages this quality to be his desired perceptual outcome. Overall, to work with spiritual matter, one is working with the highest invisible energies of an inner state, so through concentrated will and focus within meditation, the groundwork to seeing spiritual matter for oneself is begun.
Through devotional meditation, and the realization of self as Soul, and one with Spirit, consciousness can perceive this reflective mechanism.
Spiritually-Shifted, or Shifted State: n. (see observer-state).
Spiritual Sight: n. A faculty of the intuition, wherein spiritual matter is discernible to the consciousness. To have the ability to see spiritually, the consciousness must be spiritualized (see spiritualized consciousness).
Subconscious Mind: n. The expanse within consciousness that houses all experiential and spiritual information of all lives lived up to that moment. The prefix (sub) of the word subconscious, means to ‘be under or below,’ the conscious mind. This is a misleading phrase because to be below consciousness, does not mean less meaningful, or less accessible. What the ‘below’ aspect to the word subconscious really indicates, is the presence of the ego-consciousness within one’s observing mind. If the ego-consciousness has not been dissolved through spiritualization of the mind via a body-scan and shifted into the observer-self, the subconscious realm is not observable by the conscious mind. If the shift is made, the storehouse of information that is the collection of all experiences of all lives lived up to that moment will be available. When Self-Realization occurs, the symbols of the Soul are delivered via intuition, and pull from this ‘subconscious’ realm for conscious inspection.
Superconscious Mind: n. The Self-Realized mind through which the Soul expresses outward. Communications from the superconscious mind, moves through the unconscious and subconscious mind, and into the conscious mind. To realize the superconscious mind for oneself, the consciousness must be spiritualized (see spiritualized consciousness). Then, within meditation, it must move in reverse, inward from the conscious mind, through the sub and unconscious mind, and shift into the Highest Vibration Conceivable, which is the Spirit Realized; that is, the superconscious mind experiences Self-Realization, or experientially realizes self as One with the Spirit of God, and as the Soul.
Symbol: n. something used for or regarded as representing something else; a material object representing something, often something immaterial; emblem, token, or sign.
Synchronicity: n. an apparently meaningful coincidence in time of two or more similar or identical events that are causally unrelated. When a synchronicity occurs within physical reality, and is clocked by the conscious mind, it is meant for reflective reference of the self. In this way, the seemingly unrelated occurrences are unraveled through the will and focus, revealing for oneself the spiritual epiphanies meant for his spiritual advancement.
Synesthesia [ sin-uhs-thee-zhuh, -zhee-uh, -zee-uh ] noun a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color. [Please visit the following internet resource, for research of this topic ~~~>>> https://www.bu.edu/synesthesia/faq/ ]
Three-Dimensional: adj. having or appearing to have length, breadth, and depth.
Time: n.
Transcription: n. To copy for another. To transcribe one’s own intuitive perceptions, is intuitive transcription. A preliminary step for spiritual transcriptive abilities is a shift into the observer state.
Two-Dimensional: adj. Having the dimensions of height and weight only.
Unconscious Mind: n. The realm of the mind wherein the conscious mind is no longer active. The unconscious is accessible through intuition.
Visualization: n. The act or technique involving one’s focus on positive mental images in order to achieve a particular goal within one’s consciousness.
Will: v. A faculty of the self, wherein one’s wish or desire is directed by intelligent force.
Yoga: n.
2) the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty.
Amnesia: n. The perception that one has lost interrelated memories, complete or partial. See Divine Amnesia.
Affirmation: n. An affirmation is a statement or proposition that is declared to be true. Through the use of it, the consciousness assists itself in building spiritual perceptual constructs (see glossary). In this way, spiritual growth toward the perception of spiritual matter is enhanced, as the mind internalizes the spiritual thought within its subconscious self.
By filling the conscious and subconscious parts of oneself with the spiritualized thought, growth is made toward the perception of synchronistic aspects of the higher Spiritual Reality that are related to it. Overall, the affirming mind literally assists itself spiritually, by changing its orientation from outer concerns to inner ones through the use of affirmations.
Apprehension: n. A faculty of the self, wherein one’s perception is direct and immediate (see intuition).
Aum: n. Enunciated as Om, It is one of the most important spiritual sounds. Aum refers to the Soul, or perceived Realized Self-within, and its Perception of Self-as-Spirit, which is the Ultimate Reality one may realize within a physical lifetime. Aum is the entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, and knowledge realized within devotional meditation. It is the intuited Sound that is Spirit, which is You. Meditation on Aum dissolves egoic self-conceptualizations, and self-identity is transformed from self-as-physical to Self-as-Spirit.
Aum Meditation Technique: n. The use of the observer-self’s (knower’s) focus upon the sounds perceived with the intuitive self (knowing-self), through the Spirit (known-self). The method of the technique is the one-pointed focus of the intuitional faculty upon the loudest sound heard within oneself, while always looking with the focused mind upward to the spiritual eye.
Belief: n. An opinion or conviction that is confident in the truth or existence of something.
Belief Construct: n. A collection of beliefs that work together to determine personal definitions, and ultimately determine how we experience reality (see also perceptual construct).
Body-Scan: n. The willful and concentrated focus of the mind upon the energy rising (tingling) within each part of the body. The conscious mind’s focus moves from foot to head, and from left-side to right-side, and culminates in the building of a perceptual construct-of-self as a spiritualized form (orb). The orb is then consciously expanded beyond this echoing shape of the physical body, to that of a sphere, or circle.
Conceptually, the perceptual construct is one that entails understanding that the energy-tingling perceived within the body part, is a prelude to the manifestation of conscious, intuitive awareness of the feel and sensation of the soul's projected spiritual energy. This is a preliminary expansion of the mind’s conscious awareness of spiritual matter.
Conceptual Framework: n. The mental combination of relevant variables, characteristics, or features, that together create a map of perception and Higher Realization.
Consciousness: n. Intelligent awareness. When spiritualized through devotional meditation upon a Higher Point (perceptually conceptualized Higher framework of one’s experiential understanding, or experiential perception of Spirit’s Presence), the intelligent awareness of the being is made Infinite.
Devotional Love: n. A profound and earnest affection felt and expressed for another.
Dimension: n. A realm of perception within which consciousness exists. This is an intuitive perceptual construct, meaning that it is spiritual and thus de-limiting. There are many dimensions within which human consciousness may exist, including mental, temporal, astral, and causal.
Discern: verb (used with object)
- to perceive by the sight or some other sense or by the intellect; see, recognize, or apprehend:
- to distinguish mentally; recognize as distinct or different; discriminate:
- to distinguish or discriminate.
Ego, or ego-self: n. Unspiritualized self-conceptualization. It is the disease of deception of perceptual-limitation, and must be put into remission, via devotional meditation.
In relatively recent history, the ego-idea originated in the work of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), as a part of his pursuit to conceptualize self through personality traits. Freud’s theories are not spiritual, so this word is borrowed from Freud, only to play the part of a morality-idea place-holder that functions without Spiritual Illumination within the self. Overall, when the author uses the idea of the ego, she is referencing the limiting self-perceptions, or negative (unspiritualized) self-conceptualization of one’s experience.
Epiphany: n. a sudden, intuitive perception of, or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. Epiphanies are the thoughts and Higher realizations that present naturally within the observer-self’s focus, and inform the individual’s mind about spiritual insights beyond the ego-consciousness’ perceptual abilities.
Faculty: n. an ability, natural or acquired, for a particular kind of action
God: n. The Supreme Spiritual Being of Intelligent Force within the manifested universe, Who is always Present within the consciousness (whether consciously realized or not). He is Omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnibenevolence (supremely good), and is knowable through realization of Christ-Consciousness within meditation. God is Spirit. All consciousness, dimensions, substance, and ether are created from this Spirit.
Guru: n. 1) Hinduism. a preceptor giving personal religious instruction.
2) an intellectual or spiritual guide or leader.
3) Any person who counsels or advises; mentor:
- a leader in a particular field:
Intuition: n. A spiritual faculty of the self, wherein one makes the direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.
It is through the intuition that the Spirit communicates with human consciousness, in the form of direct perception of the communications within self-structures only, but may seem to be outside of self, playing out in physical reality as synchronous or miraculous events.
Intelligent Force: n. A faculty of the self, wherein the energy of reasoning and understanding is exerted.
Joy: n. the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation. It is the emotional perception of the realization of God’s Spirit within oneself. The state-of-joy literally funnels intuition, and acts as a ‘lubricant’ within the consciousness for spiritual growth. It also effectively dissolves all remnants of the ego-self.
Meditation: n.
- The means by which consciousness is evolved spiritually, wherein the mind’s will and focus are interiorized one-pointedly upon and within the Higher Spirit perceived. 2) the methods and techniques utilized to attain Self-Realization of Oneness with God’s Spirit.
Metaphysician: n. an expert in, or student of, the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being and knowing. The metaphysician’s main practice is meditation upon the Presence of God.
Mind: n. The aspects of intelligence and consciousness manifested as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination. It contains all conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. It is the collective cognitive processes that are used before the level of intuition, wherein when the latter is utilized, the consciousness sees beyond the mind’s abilities into the Spiritual Realm. "Mind" is often used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason.
Multifaceted Self: n. The Self as a Spiritual-triad of self-relational structures within self-conceptualization. The meditator who knows himself multifaceted through experience, has meditated upon each parts of his inner construction: the knower-self (observer-self), the known-self (object of one’s focus, i.e., Spirit), and the knowing-self (the expanded state of what seems to be beyond thought, i.e., intuition). That is, observer, Spirit, intuition.
Multidimensional Self: The Spiritualized, or Self-Realized Consciousness. The multidimensional self, when understood by the consciousness, is able to communicate and perceive through multiple spiritual dimensions. All perceptions originating from physical-reality limiting frameworks have been deconstructed and made transparent through devotional meditation upon the Spirit.
The ability of the consciousness to perceive through multiple dimensions is testable by the self. This is done through interiorization of the mind upon a single point (the Spirit Perceived within oneself), and the presentation of a question with the sincere, devotional desire of a student to his Master Teacher, for the knowledge of His answer. Once posed to the Spirit, and without expectation of a response in any particular way, the Spirit presents naturally within the mind and the life of the individual, the answer to the question.
This is an advanced spiritual-evolutionary process, and conscious perception of answers to questions posed (direct perception/intuition, synchronicities, and epiphanies), provide ‘proof’ of consciousness’ existence beyond the limitations of the dimension of only the physical. The Self-Realized Soul is a consciousness able to navigate multiple dimensions.
Mystic: n. An individual who seeks through contemplation and self-surrender, to obtain unity with, or absorption into, his or her chosen Deity (Christ/Guru/Master), or absolute Conception of God (the Father Spirit beyond creation.) All mystics obtain through spiritual methods employed with a meditative state, the use of inner faculties of perception (intuition), and the experience of the chosen Higher Focus, which is an alignment of the consciousness to an identity within It.
Beyond the tools of the mind’s faculties, some mystics are able to employ methods that reap evidence in physical reality, of the Deity’s or Spirit’s communications. This is the evidential mystic, able to produce psychic phenomena in physical reality, which seems extraordinary to those untrained, but is truly only an intuitive display of the mystic’s comprehension of Spiritual Reality.
Negative Belief Deconstruction: n. Beliefs create feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and then experiences. By conscious examination and deconstruction of negative beliefs (see chapter titled Introduction in Drawing With The Master), and replacement of such with positive beliefs formulated in the now, or present moment, the conscious-identity of the person begins to orient to positive perceptual constructs, creating a platform-of-self within his own mind of Higher Truths that are unlimited. Negative self-identity limits consciousness, restricting it from experiencing Higher Perceptual Constructs, which are necessary to realize one’s spiritual sight, or other spiritual gifts.
Observer-Self: n. A faculty of consciousness that is a perceptual construct; that is, it is a defining conceptual structure-of-self that is built with intuited perceptions. All spiritual perceptual constructs work to de-limit consciousness.
The observer-self is realized in identity as the self who looks to perceive only God’s Spirit.
Observer-State: n. The state of realizing consciously the Higher Spirit within oneself, as oneself, through the use of a Body-Scan. It is the experiential state of one’s consciousness, wherein joy and peace reign, perception of time and ego dissolve, and one’s consciousness is spiritualized (made intuitive). The observer-state is a natural faculty of the mind, and awareness and establishment of it is accomplished through the implementation of a body-scan.
When the consciousness is submerged within the observer-state, it is spiritually-shifted, and the ego, time, and space perceptually become non-existent to awareness. The observer-self is a faculty that is a perceptual construct; that is, it is a defining conceptual structure-of-self that is built with intuited perceptions. All spiritual perceptual constructs work to de-limit consciousness.
Paradox: n. A spiritual teaching mechanism meant to awaken intuitive faculties through the conscious observation of It. It is any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature to the observer-self’s self-awareness (absent of ego).
In Intuitive Drawing, a visual paradox is the conscious realization of an ‘impossible’ image (and with development through practice, this visual acumen extends into physical reality beyond art production). That is, the experience of realizing a visual paradox is the moment the mind realizes it has created a completed part of the work at hand, without any conscious intention. This presents the contradictory nature to one’s assumptions that consciousness is limited, as the ability to switch into the observer-state, enables an interlocking of that state with that of the known-self (Spirit), as well as the knowing-self (intuition). The reality that the creation of a drawing that seemingly ‘appears’ without accessing underlying cognitive structures, seems impossible, but proves otherwise, through practice and use of devotional meditation, the body-scan, and shifting of the consciousness into Higher States.
Peace: n. Freedom from disturbance; tranquility.
Perception: n. A faculty of the mind, wherein apprehension is made by the five physical senses, or intuition.
Perceptual Construct: n. The creation within self of a defining conceptual structure that is built with perceptions (five physical senses or intuition). All spiritual perceptual constructs work to de-limit consciousness.
Qualities of God: (see God)
Rapture: n. Rapture is a state-of-consciousness in which 'you' are carried into a Higher Perceptual Experience of Existence. Through devotional meditation upon the Presence of God, the consciousness looks out and through the spiritual eye and experiences Infinite Comprehension, and ever-increasingly realizes for himself that the Spirit Perceived is the definition of Living Intuition. This understanding is realized through non-inferential knowledge, or the consciousness' use of the Mechanism Itself. With time and practice within this altered, heightened state-of-inner-focus, the unconscious’ use of intuition is made Conscious, and the Higher Spirit's functional geometry is revealed.
Physical Body: n. The direct and personal experience of the Spirit of God moves the consciousness from a focus on, and identity with, the physical body. The ascetic abstains from the normal pleasures in life as a part of his religious observance, but when one’s Soul is realized through deep meditation and samadhi, and self-identity becomes self-as-the-Divine, the physical body is seen for what it is, a vehicle for the manifestation of God’s Spirit.
Reflective Reference: An act wherein you plumb the memory of the intuitive drawing experience, to recall the information intuited. This process is applicable within any recollection. The process, as outlined in the text, should be employed daily, both within artistic endeavors, as well as Living Life.
To reflectively reference something, one begins with an experiential memory. For example, the experience of a sitting in front of your drawing. Next, within the observer-state, one shifts-within himself to include the simultaneous experience of all parts of his Reflective visual acumen; these are the triad parts of the structure of the Soul. That is, to reflectively reference a memory, and Realize Intuition that is meant for Your Self’s Journey, one must become Spirit, through the alignment of the perceptual energies of the experience of each of the triad parts, simultaneously. This takes Practice. It is the Experience of the knower, Known, and knowing selves, or the observer, Spirit Perceived, and intuition, concurrently. These as One, are then willed as a Whole Experiential Expression of Self-Understanding within one’s Intelligent Focus upon the Spirit, and through this state, one may now plumb Intuitively the recollection of the experience, and Perceive Beyond the thinking mind, the Expression meant for Higher Comprehension.
Overall, the Experience is a dissolution of egoic and physical comprehension and faculties, which are replaced by the Higher Perceptual Comprehension-of-Self, as existing within a peaceful acceptance of one’s Present (Now) Position.
Samadhi: n. the union of the meditator, process of meditation, and the Object of meditation, or God. In Hindu yoga, this is regarded as the final stage, at which union with the divine is reached (before or at death).
Self: n. The triangular structure of consciousness, made up of knower, Known, and knowing identities, created through the reflection of consciousness upon the neutral plane of physical reality, as well as through meditation upon the Highest Spirit Conceivable.
Conscious self-understanding is created through the formation of beliefs by way of thoughts and emotions, and manifests within physical reality as behaviors and experiences. The self evolves in understanding through physical, mental, and spiritual stages of reflective insight, and prepares for its own spiritual growth and Higher self-realization of Self-as-Soul, by utilizing negative belief deconstruction to build self-transparency, as well as meditation upon the Presence of the Spirit, to Realize Self-as-Spirit.
Self-Identity: n. the identity, or consciousness of the identity of a thing with itself. Self-identity is a reflective mechanism of the mind.
Self-Realization: n. Self-realization is yoga or "Oneness" with Truth — the direct perception or experience of Truth by the all-knowing Intuitive Faculty of the soul that ‘you’ are One with the Spirit of God.
Self-Transparency: n.
- The state of the shifted-self, wherein the ego-I (limited-self) has been dissolved, and the remaining consciousness is made into the observer-state (spiritualized). This state is necessary in order to perceive and transcribe spiritual matter (visual or written).
- The state of consciousness that results from replacing lower energies within self’s perceptual constructs with Spiritually Higher Energies (joy).
Soul: n. The Spiritual, Eternal Self. The individual who is Self-Realized is reflecting his Soul through his one-pointed focus upon the Spirit. The Soul can be perceived through the spiritual eye, and is a reflective Light that pulls consciousness to It.
Soul-Symbols: n. Artistic creations that are descriptive of the process of shifting the consciousness’ focus into a spiritualized state. Soul-symbol creation begins within the observer-state, and the experience is one of transcription, or copying. It seems to the artist that he is watching with his shifted self, and spiritual information is visibly apparent upon the paper to be copied.
Soul-symbol characteristics include the following visual experiences within the artist’s mind: visual illusion and paradox. Identifying these via development of soul-symbols upon the paper, utilizes intuitional indices that are personalized through experience, and are Spiritual Indicators for a Spiritual Skill easily learned by anyone.
In the Exercise of their creation, the aspirant has practiced within meditation, the building of experiential perception of all three parts of the triad formation of the Soul’s Matrix, and utilizes this Knowledge of the Experience with Devotion, and within the Drawing’s Perception. By the conscious recognition of the absence of ego-constructs within the drawing experience, as well as the conscious perception of a ‘loss’ of time, after it has been finished, the Freedom Perceived in this ‘beyond the physical’ perceptual experience, then buoys an aspiring artist forward within and without, radiating to the mind its maturing steps within the development of Intuition as Symbol. These result in Consciously Realized communications from the Soul, and are a description of the Experience.
Space: n.
1) the unlimited or incalculably great three-dimensional realm or expanse in which all material objects are located and all events occur.
2) the portion or extent of this in a given instance; extent or room in three dimensions:
3) extent or area in two dimensions; a particular extent of surface:
Fine Arts.
- the designed and structured surface of a picture:
- the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface.
Spirit: n. The Consciousness and Intelligent Awareness of God, which is the singular ingredient and vibration out of which all creation manifests.
Spiritual: To be spiritual, is reference to Higher Truth in some way, so that perceptions become spiritualized through one-pointed focus of the consciousness upon its object (Spirit).
Spiritualized Consciousness: n. The consciousness is lifted from an egocentric orientation to a one-pointed focus upon the Highest Spirit Perceived within himself. That is, he decides by use of his Intelligent Will, to focus his mind only upon the Highest perceptual construct he knows. Meditation upon the Spirit’s Qualities of joy, love, and peace, while looking at It within the spiritual eye, or upon the monotone surface you have created, enables this shift within the self to occur.
Spiritual Eye: n. A part of the Spiritual Body through which the consciousness may observe the Higher Spirit. As a spiritual aspirant learns to devotionally meditate, methods such as meditation upon Aum, or the use of the Hong Sau Meditation, assists in ‘opening’ this intuitive mechanism. What is perceived first is the perception of a ‘veil’, and as submersion into the Spirit increases within meditation, the veil is lifted, and the observer and Spirit are Realized as One.
Spiritual Gift: n. The realization of a path of discernment of the Spirit. Through this gift, evidence is made apparent to the consciousness in some way, of the Presence of the Higher Consciousness, and is able to manifest evidence of It, through an intuitive object of description (speech, drawing, writing, experience, work).
Spiritual Gifts are meant to be used in physical-reality, and applicable in everyday life. In Christianity, the gift of discernment, means the “discernment of spirits,” as in 1 Corinthians 12:10. The spiritual aspirant is able through his concentrated and willful focus upon God’s Spirit, to comprehend himself as the inner Spiritual Sound of His Voice, or to see himself as the Spiritual Matter with his own expanded, Spiritual Sight. Spiritual Gifts are the result of Spiritual Comprehension that is built through experience of the Spiritual perception, and is only experienced in the realization of Now.
Spiritual Guide: n. (see Spiritual Master)
Spiritual Interpreting: n. A faculty of the superconscious Self (Higher Mind), wherein reflective-reference of free-associated past experiences-of-self, with an object of its focus (triangle, for example), builds visual-identity-structures-of-self, that once plumbed in this way, are identified consciously. Then, the interpreter proceeds to examine consciously, the plumbed experiences of association, and consciously imbues the object (triangle) with this newly conscious, discovered meaning through the effort/experience. This creates a conscious Spiritual Highway between the conscious and the superconscious-self, by making the connection of the shape to the experientially-historical meaning. In this way, the practice of noticing "intuitive meanings" for shapes (as in this example) are easily "imbued" with the truth of your limitation of that symbol.
The process continues beyond only shape-meaning "intuitive-building." For myself, the stage after these basic-intuitive-associations turned quickly through artistic-intuitive-reflective-practice, to a new intuitive-turn of my own "relationship" with language. Within language and as a devotional writer, I now "sit within at a distance," and watch through what seems a joy that is not of my own creation, and what appears if I am drawing, is copied in this joyful "condition"; or, if I am writing, it seems The Presence, well... is Present, and through word-examination within "what is delivered", the literal meaning of things are examined. At this juncture, I intuitively follow what is presented, which is built upon a respect for my own experiences, as they are what I reference. And none of this is any different than what any human being does, except for the transparency of self within the examination of anything, which literally exposes in every situation experienced, the truth of your own "within-alignment." <<<~~~ so there may be some "ego-bending." And now, I am smiling!
Spiritual Master: n. The Consciousness of God’s Consciousness presented to the world as a Guide toward the individual’s Union with God’s Spirit. Spiritual Masters guide through perfect example and Spiritual Wisdom of the Spirit. One may realize his Spiritual Guide’s Consciousness for himself through devotional meditation upon all aspects of his or her Form.
Spiritual Matter: n. An oxymoron expressing the special effect of Spirit (the Soul) as matter (a physical substance). The conceptualization may be understood through meditation upon the Spirit that all matter (visible and invisible) is made of Spirit.
Spiritual matter is a reflective mechanism that responds to one’s will and focus. It can be seen, and manifests to the mind through the development of intuition. This sixth sense is meant to be utilized, but only works through the fuel of the higher states achieved within oneself and his devotional efforts. By concentrating with one’s will upon higher states, such as love, peace, joy, etc., the meditator effectively engages this quality to be his desired perceptual outcome. Overall, to work with spiritual matter, one is working with the highest invisible energies of an inner state, so through concentrated will and focus within meditation, the groundwork to seeing spiritual matter for oneself is begun.
Through devotional meditation, and the realization of self as Soul, and one with Spirit, consciousness can perceive this reflective mechanism.
Spiritually-Shifted, or Shifted State: n. (see observer-state).
Spiritual Sight: n. A faculty of the intuition, wherein spiritual matter is discernible to the consciousness. To have the ability to see spiritually, the consciousness must be spiritualized (see spiritualized consciousness).
Subconscious Mind: n. The expanse within consciousness that houses all experiential and spiritual information of all lives lived up to that moment. The prefix (sub) of the word subconscious, means to ‘be under or below,’ the conscious mind. This is a misleading phrase because to be below consciousness, does not mean less meaningful, or less accessible. What the ‘below’ aspect to the word subconscious really indicates, is the presence of the ego-consciousness within one’s observing mind. If the ego-consciousness has not been dissolved through spiritualization of the mind via a body-scan and shifted into the observer-self, the subconscious realm is not observable by the conscious mind. If the shift is made, the storehouse of information that is the collection of all experiences of all lives lived up to that moment will be available. When Self-Realization occurs, the symbols of the Soul are delivered via intuition, and pull from this ‘subconscious’ realm for conscious inspection.
Superconscious Mind: n. The Self-Realized mind through which the Soul expresses outward. Communications from the superconscious mind, moves through the unconscious and subconscious mind, and into the conscious mind. To realize the superconscious mind for oneself, the consciousness must be spiritualized (see spiritualized consciousness). Then, within meditation, it must move in reverse, inward from the conscious mind, through the sub and unconscious mind, and shift into the Highest Vibration Conceivable, which is the Spirit Realized; that is, the superconscious mind experiences Self-Realization, or experientially realizes self as One with the Spirit of God, and as the Soul.
Symbol: n. something used for or regarded as representing something else; a material object representing something, often something immaterial; emblem, token, or sign.
Synchronicity: n. an apparently meaningful coincidence in time of two or more similar or identical events that are causally unrelated. When a synchronicity occurs within physical reality, and is clocked by the conscious mind, it is meant for reflective reference of the self. In this way, the seemingly unrelated occurrences are unraveled through the will and focus, revealing for oneself the spiritual epiphanies meant for his spiritual advancement.
Synesthesia [ sin-uhs-thee-zhuh, -zhee-uh, -zee-uh ] noun a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color. [Please visit the following internet resource, for research of this topic ~~~>>> https://www.bu.edu/synesthesia/faq/ ]
Three-Dimensional: adj. having or appearing to have length, breadth, and depth.
Time: n.
- the system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another.
- duration regarded as belonging to the present life as distinct from the life to come or from eternity; finite duration.
