Arts have uses in spirituality.
What is imagined, visualized in mind - can be shared ... one can paint sacred image for others, so they can use it as support for their meditation.
When i meditate, often visualize Enlightened Energies and Gods of either gender.
... when i meditate, also observe my breath and try to see it changing colors: clear and transparent when outside, in front of my nose ... slowly turning red as i inhale ... then slowly turning blue as i exhale. Then clear again, and so on ...
... i am counting breaths using my mala as well.
... also trying to feel energies circulating in my body, gently guiding them with imagination.
... but back to topic of forms visualization used in meditation.
Recently wanted some miracles and related wisdoms to self-arise via insights and visions ... so i did imagine following:
1. Enlightened Energy of Miracles and learning via identification, also called 'Lotus born' - in middle of my imagined image.
2. Three Protectors, each also called Great Black - occupying lower parts of image. Bottom is foundation, so those who care for safety should be in this place.
3. Oghma, godess of knowledge and wisdom to left of 'Lotus born'.
4. Savras, god of divination practicioneers to right of 'Lotus born'.
5. Enlightened Energy of Wisdom, also called Vairocana - on top of my image.
How to read this image?
In this composition, this works like this:
Enlightened Energies have human forms.
Both Enlightened Energies, as well as gods & goddesses carry various symbols, tools they use. For example, Great Black wields knife that cuts through everything that distract or hinder. Oghma wields bell and wears pentacle - symbols of Wisdom ... and so on.
During meditation one tries to be like one in middle, like 'Lotus born' in this case. One tries to get in character, one tries to identify - to acquire precious qualities of figure in middle for oneself.
Lotus born is safe to practice his meditation thanks to protectors. He works with god and godess at his sides, exchanging opinions, learning together, helping many beings together.
Finally, place on top of image is more or less, main authority. Lotus born identifies with Vairocana, accepting blessings, guidance and wisdom lessons.
