Art and Soul

All Artists must have a Soul vision to guide them; otherwise they would not stay focused for a lifetime.

The French Impressionist, Claude Monet, explained what happened to him when he was young. While working outdoors one day, in a single moment, "the veil parted," and his entire life destiny was laid out before him. Monet pierced the veil of surface reality and clearly saw a vision of the Divine. He was destined to be an artist, and that vision changed him forever. He learned why he was to be an artist, and no matter the struggles Monet endured during his life, that vision kept him on his destiny path to becoming a world treasure.

According to Paul Heussenstamm, the artist in each of us who has learned to use his/her eyes to view the world from our heart has begun to see the Soul. And to see with Soul. The key is learning "to access" the Soul. Art accesses the Soul of both the creator and the observer.

A must read is Paul's book;
Divine forces - Art That Awakens The Soul

Divine Forces - Art That Awakens The Soul

I just learned that Paul Huessenstamm's book, Divine Forces - Art That Awakens The Soul, is now available.

Paul who creates incredible mandalas believes in the mystery of the artist. The action of the artist involves surrender, letting go, allowing, opening, petitioning, prayer, and inner supplication. Paul believes that a transformation takes place spontaneously without conscious participation of the individual. He or she simply wakes up to the fact that something larger than his or her own sense of self is operation inside and expressing itself through action in the world.

Paul shares the spiritual path of the artist in his book. The artist, according to Paul, is truly an instument It is not a choice or a willed expression.

I cannot wait to read more.
