INSPIRATIONAL
In the Inspirational Realm, I am totally at ease, as this is the temple of my familiar. I can meditate and look at a blank canvas: see the finished painting: imprinting it in my brain and then execute it to perfection, down to the last dot. I have the ability remember my dreams, and use any Spiritual images from the dream state, and remembering every detail upon my awakening.
My studies in Theology, Quantum Physics, and Spirituality have help to expand my consciousness to level of alternate realities. The many plains of existence are sublimely interwoven into all of my Artwork. There is a commonality linking the knowledge that I have acquired. This includes what I observe, know, see, and feel and is transferred upon the canvas. Regardless of the subject matter or the contents, my intense use of colors enhances the ethereal awareness. In some of my works, there is micro-detail precision that only my eyes and my consciousness know exist from the Inspirational, or the Creative Realm. I am on the quest for the Holy Grail of perfection not only in my artistic pursuits, but also in my personal life as well. The Inspirational realm provides me with the vehicle that is necessary for me to integrate both world to arrive at my final destination.
In 2002, I was asked to be the featured guess host on Cox Cable Network Television. The mini series was “Art and Spirituality” and name of the program is called”Metaphysica.” I talk about my Spirituality and my Art. I remember one unforgettable moment with the series half way through six parts, The hostess of the program had strayed away from the questions that she and I had originally had agreed upon.
She asked me quite surprisingly “George, Now that you have attained such a level of spirituality in your artwork, what is left for you to achieve?” I remember looking with utter disbelief, and without thinking, I heard the word fell out of my mouth.
"I seek PERFECTION.” I said, without blinking my eye.
I was mortified, as I heard the words falling out of my mouth, like a tree in the forest upon the studio Floor...I was shocked, as did not want to be perceived as arrogant or superior.” I am seeking perfection of my own soul?" I said it with such conviction, that I could not back pedal, or retract the statement. Therefore, I own it in that moment. I then repeated the statement, and was much more humble in its delivery.
“Perfection.” “Perfection in my own work. I am
Never quite satisfied, but there are a few of paintings that I can look at, and truly say to myself, say that I am half way there in my own Perfection. There is so much more to do and so much more that I want to create.”
I then looked straight into the camera, and said, “God has put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I am so far behind that I will never die.” We both laughed. I felt very vulnerable, and felt very exposed, as I have revealed to the world my deepest secrete.
I felt anger toward the TV interviewer and host, Ky Pue, that this was sort of an ambush. I was heated to the point of distraction, but finished the interview with great dignity. After the taping and I had sorted through my own feelings, I apologized to her for the gruff way in which I had answered the question that she had asked me upon taping.
She said, “You don’t have to apologize to me George, It was the kind of
Response that I was expecting”. “Anything else from you would have been a disappointment.” I was humbled in that moment, and I was able to finish the series without censoring my feeling or my beliefs and innermost desires.
Metaphysics and spirituality to me is the same. It is sometimes hard for me to express this concept to anyone. Religion is man made and institutionalized. Spirituality is the freedom to become enlightened and to know the God with in. This is true nature of every human being. In the inspirational realm, I am faced with my own divine love and connection to all Living things great and small. Everything are beautiful as we evolve through love, wisdom and understanding of our emotions and or own action.
In the Inspirational Realm, I can feel the power of true unconditional love. I see it, breathe it, I am it.
This topic is close to my heart and it is the hardest to explain, yet it is where my heart lives. I personally find inspiration in any and everything. It is all around us, if we could only open our eyes.
“To love another person is to see the face of GOD “les miserable.
