ModroGorje - Spiritual Art

My thanks to my Teacher Master Ananda, for enabling me to access the Those-Who-Know

Spiritual art might sound like a tautology, because art is by its very nature spiritual activity. It makes the ideas visible. Inspired artistic expression is a visible representation of the artist's inner vision.

The word "inspiration" comes from the Latin noun "inspiratio" and from the verb "inspirare". "Inspirare" is a compound term resulting from the Latin prefix "in" (inside, into) and the verb "spirare" (to breathe). "Inspirare" meant originally "to blow into", "to breathe in" and "to be imbued with spirit". In Christian theology, the Latin word "inspirare" pertains to "divinitus inspirata" – "breathed into by the divine".

Spiritual artists are only the truly inspired ones, who have the sensitivity, knowledge and skill to bring the spiritual into the material and make the ideas visible. And most of all who have the courage to follow their vision.

Spiritual art can also be called sacred art. It depicts the themes to be contemplated not for what they are but for what they represent. It is quite odd that spiritual, sacred messages can be found even in quite unexpected art forms and artistic styles such as cartoons and caricatures, showing that the gods do have a sense of humour.

I am delighted to be working with spiritual artists within our DreamRaisers project.

Their wide range of art styles will illustrate our Spiritual Archaeology page, as well as the DreamRaisers Trilogy and Among the Hostiles document.
