Now, with all you have been told about the nature of personality, and of the many of which you are a part, it would now be a help if you could find the center of your larger self.
You can intuitively become aware to some extent of your own reincarnations, so that you feel a recognizable sense of familiarity. Now there is unity in all. You have been told that there is a point where all dimensions and systems of reality merge. Now the same is true of consciousness. You are a part of a larger self, an entity, and because you are there is a portion of you that has access to the knowledge of your entity.”
...You will find evidence of the center of your self in your paintings, of course. There is a continuity that follows through all existences, and shows itself in the endeavors and creations of the individuals involved.
There will be a core within your own paintings, from which the whole composition springs, and it is here that you can find rapport with the center of your self. The center contains condensed knowledge, not only of seemingly past lives, but also of the future. Of this, in your work, you create a new dimension.
That center is like a road that you can follow inward. Remembered faces of those you have known, and remembered scenes from other existences, form the nucleus of your experience; the forms that you bring, seemingly out of nothing, into actuality. Although you are not consciously aware of the past familiarity, nevertheless you use the knowledge to your conscious advantage.
In one way you are the steps leading up to yourself, or the spirals leading in to yourself. The painting spirals outward from your inner reality, and it brings forth energy and previous connections and interpretations. You form these anew, however, adding to them the knowledge and vitality of your present self.
It is somewhat easier for the artist or poet to find this center of the self. The intuitive symbols can be better recognized. Now you can grab a hold of the original inspiration for a painting, and ride it outward, or you can look at your own completed painting and ride it inward to its source. Do you follow me?
“(“Yes.”)
In either case when conditions are right, you should feel a sense of recognition, a sense of grasping a portion of the center of your own reality. This is not a nebulous experience, but vivid, powerful, and direct. You will know it at once. When you have achieved this oneness with your own center, then you automatically free additional energy and vitality into your life.”
