and Soul \u2013 The Piece de Resistance ~ Maria Chambers"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2><strong>A really great example of how the heart, mind and soul work together in harmony and balance is with creativity. \u00a0Whether it\u2019s art, music, writing, photography, cinematography, or any of a myriad of art forms.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It gives our soul the greatest pleasure to express itself in a physical, tangible way, \u00a0and with the initiation of our ascension, that soul of ours wants more than anything to be in these bodies and these human lives. \u00a0She wants to makes these bodies her own. \u00a0To make it in her image, not the product of its ancestry.<\/p>\n<p>We then can be the living sculpture of what our divine self as artist is capable of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOOTHING SOUNDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I created my music, it was such a passion with me. \u00a0And because of that passion, the technical aspects just fell into place quite easily. \u00a0In that case, the soul was the primary artist, and the mind, in support of that artist, was the navigator of the technical aspects. \u00a0Using computer software designed for music production could have been daunting, but it seemed to come easily.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s saying something considering I am not technically savvy.<\/p>\n<p>All of this takes a trust in the divine self, and in the abilities of that self to create something amazing. \u00a0And when the allowing takes place we have a beautiful balance of mind, heart and soul.<\/p>\n<p>And the same trust in the \u2018creator,\u2019 our soul along with our Divine Presence, is required as we become the new, divine human.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUFFERING FOR OUR ART<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Years ago, when I began this awakening process, I remember worrying that if I became too balanced and integrated I would lose my creative edge. \u00a0It\u2019s not a far fetched fear considering the collective consciousness buys into the idea that one must suffer and even be crazy to create good art.<\/p>\n<p>Granted art is borne from conflict. \u00a0At least in the 3D world. \u00a0But art is also an expression of the soul\u2019s joy.<\/p>\n<p>If one is living on the surface of life, their creations will reflect that. \u00a0But if one has gone below the surface, and has dove into feelings, and into their multidimensional self, they have so much more to express.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20010\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" data-shortcode=\"caption\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20010\"

awakening process began. \u00a0And, ironically now I am not really pursuing my art or my music professionally.<\/p>\n<p>These days, creativity-wise, I enjoy the simple things. \u00a0I love writing, and drawing. \u00a0For me it\u2019s fun, easy, and there\u2019s not much production involved. \u00a0I dare say producing my own music is no longer a joy for me. \u00a0But who knows, that can change. \u00a0Never say never.<\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t really spend a large amount of time on art, or writing. \u00a0Only when I am inspired, and I don\u2019t pressure myself to be creative, since it
