Art by Maria Chambers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As an artist, musician and writer, I have created a wide range of forms. \u00a0Some have been calm and peaceful and some have been more provocative. \u00a0And of course, art is invariably in the eye of the beholder. \u00a0Some of my figures have made people feel at peace, and the same figures have made others uncomfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not unusual since we are all different. \u00a0I always encourage people, no matter what their background or skills in art, writing, or music may be, to express themselves. \u00a0And, even more importantly, to do it first for themselves<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is critical\u00a0not to censor ourselves in the creative process. \u00a0Some of the most evocative works of art have been ones that just express raw emotion. \u00a0Often children are the most uninhibited and provocative artists, before they are programmed to suppress their imaginations.<\/p>\n

In our ascension process, we have been face to face with the most raw of emotions. \u00a0We have been practicing allowing all the emotions, to not censor them, and to also not identify with them. \u00a0For many of us the tricky part is not judging any of the emotions as bad, or inappropriate.<\/p>\n

Most of the denser emotions are all about self-judgement anyway. \u00a0The hardest part of our awakening is to realize that we are beautiful souls just having a human experience. \u00a0Human life is messy. \u00a0And that feels unspiritual to us.<\/p>\n

We have been conditioned to believe that being spiritual means we don\u2019t have dark thoughts or emotions any more. \u00a0Can anyone guess where that came from? \u00a0Sunday school, perhaps?<\/p>\n

The awakening process has a way of tearing at us not only physically, but emotionally. \u00a0When we invite spirit into our body and our lives, we open ourselves up to being so vulnerable. \u00a0Whatever there is in us that hasn\u2019t felt worthy of love comes to the surface.<\/p>\n

There is nowhere to hide anymore.<\/p>\n

But we wanted to have a new experience. \u00a0We wanted to know what it feels like to be loved unconditionally by spirit, by our own Soul. \u00a0Not the kind of love you get when you are on your best behavior. \u00a0Like on a first date.\u00a0Where you try to show the other how sweet and understanding you are. \u00a0How calm and balanced you are.<\/p>\n

There is a part of us that doesn\u2019t believe spirit could love us with all of our so-called character flaws. \u00a0After all, as humans, the love we received has always been conditional.<\/p>\n

But our I Am<\/em>, our eternal self loves us just as we are, just as we were, in this and all other lifetimes. \u00a0There is nothing we have to prove. \u00a0We are not asked to earn worthiness.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s awkward, because our impulse, when we are feeling one of those dark emotions, is to self-analyze. \u00a0We try to figure out where we went wrong. \u00a0 There are so many times in life, this messy human life, when we feel like we fall short of whatever constitutes a spiritual being.<\/p>\n

Like there\u2019s some goal post we keep missing.<\/p>\n

But, thankfully, that\u2019s all bull. \u00a0And the sooner we get over that one, the better. \u00a0Just as an artist has the creative license to express whatever they desire, so we too, are free to be human, with all of its messiness.<\/p>\n

There is no cookie cutter formula for spirituality. \u00a0If someone tells you that you must be all forgiving and all understanding of others, I say, get up and leave as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

If someone thinks that being an expressive human means expressing only the polite, pretty and peaceful aspects of themselves, they are not a true artist. \u00a0They are not a pioneer. \u00a0But, you are<\/em> pioneers. \u00a0You are here to bring a new consciousness to this planet. \u00a0That takes great creative spirit. \u00a0It takes going deeper than most humans allow themselves to go,<\/p>\n

It means going for it totally, the dark as well as the light.<\/p>\n

Whatever is in your heart to create and to then share is something that many others are ready to see or hear, or read.<\/p>\n

As pioneers we are not here to win a popularity contest. \u00a0We knew that coming in. \u00a0Our ideas are not those of the masses. \u00a0So whatever we want to express and share, it will resonate with others, and sometimes it won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But being pioneers, we can\u2019t afford to tailor our creations to please everyone, because then we please no-one.<\/p>\n

Being true to ourselves is first and foremost. \u00a0We knew that coming in. \u00a0We knew we couldn\u2019t compromise ourselves yet another lifetime. \u00a0We knew that it was this lifetime or none at all.<\/p>\n

Shifts in consciousness don\u2019t happen from complacency. \u00a0From playing it safe. \u00a0 Many of us know all too well the risks of not playing it safe. \u00a0But this lifetime is different. \u00a0We are safe in the new, balanced energy we have created for ourselves.<\/p>\n

\"B7193EF5-CCDC-487F-8CD7-52527B1DF785.jpeg\"And within that space we can allow ourselves to be that sometimes messy human, Who is actually someone others can relate to. \u00a0We are not your average spiritual human. \u00a0We like to roll up our sleeves and get a little dirty. \u00a0We enjoy making mud pies.<\/p>\n

Most of us consider sitting around and \u2018ohmming\u2019 pretty boring.<\/p>\n

Most other humans aren\u2019t aware of the depths we have travelled on not only a physical but an emotional level. \u00a0But to those who are ready to awaken to their Soul\u2019s unconditional love for them,\u00a0who better a role model of self-love, and self-acceptance than a sometimes very messy human angel?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
