Mysteries Exploded 

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 / 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. 

The colors in this drawing explode outward like fireworks in the sky. Objects fly outward. To me the explosion represents a shift in spiritual development. The swords symbolize both piercing the veil of separation between the physical world and the spiritual, and the authority of power to be grasped at this level. The swords can also represent the discernment needed. The objects flying outward may represent the information and treasures acquired through previous lifetimes now being set free due to trust gained and the understanding needed that gifts of power must not be abused. See what the objects mean to you and what is stirred up within you.
