A brief description to be read in unison with the enclosed preliminary sketch for a painting.

EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSE
An attempt at visually expressing, through symbolism, a good part of the whole!

As I type this, there is still an awareness of the tension required to creatively convert inner eye images or "journeys" which are perceived in three dimensions, incredible subtleties of colour, and {just to test the process further} rhythmic and ordered movement!

The movement itself is movement of a nature which, contradictory as it appears in words, creates an incredible sense of stillness, harmony and order ... As if all is hanging suspended in space, yet spiritually dynamically alive in a "radiatory" way.

The sketch is so imperfect in its detail, so please overlook the fact that in it there is at this preliminary stage, a replicating of a septenery pattern used, and no real distinction as yet between the systems. It is my intention eventually to include, at least with the "closer" schemes, or septenart systems, the detail and any triangulations or bigger "sub-patterns". Without a graphics background, it is incredibly time consuming to design & draw such images, let alone make serious changes along the way as each change affects each replication of the pattern!

So, imagine, as you look at it, that the inner centre represents the Super Cosmic Logos, one of Whose centres is expanded {or magnified} into the Cosmic Logos, {with 7 solar systems} etc etc Solar Logos,... Planetary Logos, and finally man.......and in the final painting it may be possible to introduce a more recognisable form for man, showing the etheric centres. Of course what happens, as we focus on the centres in man, magnifying more and more, we get farther and farther into the microcosm! Fractal geometry!

As I say, the colours and details will develop and refine along the way, .... as will the emphasis on the originating centre, which will be more radiatory and light. It, too, will evolve! The trail which shows the schemes or systems in greater detail will give the sense of spiral motion through space.

The "rings" or cocentric circles around the greater centres will represent the planes, and/or the sub planes {of course it is so simplistic and inaccurate, as I repeat!} The sprals radiating from the One Centre represent the ray energies sourced from the centres of that great being {of whom we may NEVER speak!!} .....of course these spiralling energies are cyclic, and so not all radiating at the same potency at any given moment {cosmically speaking!} The ghost like images are portraying "time" or what has been or may yet be, in other layers or planes {sub planes}, and the general emphasis has been in following one tiny path from the centre, to man, i.e. OUR PATH

My favourite and most inspiring quote {thank you Stephen!}
"A bright star dropped from the heart of eternity, the beacon of hope on whose Seven Rays hang the Seven Worlds of Being"

An aside to the painting, and offered as an inspirational extra for the full moon time: from Light of the Soul, p. 338
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali; 42
"By one pointed meditation upon the relationship existing between the body and the akasha, ascension out of matter {the three worlds} and power to travel in space is gained." "When a man knows himself, and is aware of the relationship existing between the energies working through the seven centres and the seven states of matter and consciousness, then he is liberated and free and can contact at will and without time limitations all those states. There is a relation between one of the seven states of matter and one or other of the centres; through each one of the centres is the door to a certain plane of the planetary spheres........ "
