Though right handed, this drawing was done primarily with my left-hand. I feel that this technique frees me and enables me to be a better receptor of inspiration. The symbols evolve as I draw, surprising me, baffling me as to what the image will be and what the rest of the drawing will look like. Sometimes symbols show up within the object as I draw. When finished with my. drawing, research quiets my mind and reassures me about what I have been inspired to draw. The hard part is knowing what to call the object in order to look it up. The drawing has many cultural and religious symbols from many time periods. Look at the drawing and try to find as many objects as you can. There may be an encoded message in the drawing just for you. In your search for meaning in the drawing, the images may reassure you about what you are experiencing in your life, bring a tear to your eye, or tickle your fancy. Whatever your response is, enjoy the exploration and adventure into the collective unconscious world of symbols.
I am excited by this drawing though it is more abstract than the other drawings. The title, "Chiti", comes from a yogi word meaning "divine conscious energy; creative aspect of God, portrayed as the universal Mother'. I was excited to find a word for what I had seen a few times in my meditations, inner journey work, and memories of what I saw in a near death experience. This drawing attempts to show what is very real in the spiritual plane though not "seen" by physical eyes. My understanding is that the material world could not exist without this element. Explore what this drawing means to you. (Definition taken from: Play of Consciousness, by Swami Muktananda, Glossary pg. 274, SYDA Foundation, South Fallsburg, N.Y., 1978)
