Genesis art Lounge

How do you see yourself in relationship to your significant other?
These card selections show just how different we can be from each
other. Cards were chosen face down
A "night and day" of difference can bring a relationship into balance
so long as we don't expect our significant other to be "night" when
his energy is fiery orange. Life would be very dull if we were the
same "color" as our partner.

We hope you want to laugh. We sure did after drawing the human figure in a Genesis art session exploring intuitive humor.

To feel competent as a humor artist does not require knowing your chiaroscuro (lights from your darks), or replicating the proportions of a perfect wooden dummy. However, forgetting to put feet at the bottomof legs or making legs that no human being could possibly dance on can be pretty hilarious.Inherent in the the lack of "skill," your own attempts at art when
genuinely sourced from the heart and soul can make you laugh out
loud. And get better at seeing the way the body really looks. You'll see body balance with fresh eyes after you pick a Genesis Card at the end of your art session. As we did here.

In 1996 I was sitting in a peaceful workshop space in Nagano meditating with the extraordinary American spiritual teacher Drunvalo Melchizedek in a way that was set up to summon our angels. I couldn't see an angel or feel one around me much as I tried, so I thought I would try to draw it out. Energy is the picture that resulted. I was surprised that two angels appeared on either side of "me" in this picture. For the next year I saw this picture as an interesting rendering from the imagination of me and these other beings. But that was it.

Here's my 10 year old daughter Mirai on the right taken December 31st, 2007, 11 years after drawing "Energy."

Look at the flame by Mirai's leg and the outline of the green angel figures. Look too at Mirai's bent knee, at the bulge in the pocket of Kim's lfriend and the bulge around the angel's belly. I don't know how this photographer did it but a pleasant young stranger we stumbled across on a hiking trail sure did capture some very strong elements found in the Energy picture – without any knowledge of the cards' existence. Every time I look at these pictures I think what an extraordinary world we live in. There are so many planes of awareness that we can have access to through the imagination, through dreams, through visualization, art, poetry and music.

While I was drawing this picture I had an odd feeling, something I've
never experienced before while making art with an unseen Genesis Card
underneath the sketchpad. When those two reddish sort of martians
appeared I suspected that the "Energy" card was under the paper. But
my rational mind erased the thought. Too obvious I thought for those
long-bodied twins to reincarnate in this new work! Then I flipped
over the card when the art was completed and my jaw dropped in
surprise as well as confusion. What did this picture actually mean? I
had asked myself a question to do with goal setting. What I
discovered through this picture is that without seeking peace of
mind as part of a goal the goal itself is worthless. I am very single-
minded lately in how I get things done. I don't easily give credit to
my partner for the hard work and energy that he has put into creating
Genesis art Lounge with me. He can be fiery red and loud as the
martian here but I suppose I can be as well. And so here he is,
standing next to me. And our dual creations, those curious egg-like
twin things also stand between us, I couldn't say so right after
making the picture but days later I see that these martians remind me
that by combining energies, two can create something new and
beautiful. Thank you Aki!
