Creation: Artistic and Spiritual

Presentation

We can be our own work.

The author has always insisted on the importance of working on the subject, including on the psychic level. So he tells us, "it is a work of creation that is akin to artistic creation". Thus all artistic activity is closely linked to that of the mind. This book is a precious guide, nourished with concrete explanations and practical methods in order to capture the purest elements to illuminate the matter of our different bodies: spiritual, psychic and physical.

'The laws of true artistic creation are identical with the laws of spiritual creation. The creative work of an artist is exactly the same work of inner regeneration as that undertaken by one who is striving for spiritual perfection. Just as an artist uses paint and canvas, clay or bronze to create a work of art, so a spiritual person uses the raw materials of his or her own being in striving towards inner perfection.'
