Harmonic Concordance

Harmonic Concordance is the name given to the planetary alignment that took place on October 9 2003 in which six planets including the planetoid Chiron formulated a six-pointed star around the earth. Computer models determined an alignment like this has not occurred within the last 3000 years and will not for the next 3000 years. In astrological terms, this is called a grand sextile. All planets involved are in resonant harmony and create a unique balance of the energies and vibrations reaching our experience here on planet earth. In conjunction with this positioning of the planets was a lunar eclipse where the light rays of the sun bend around the earth’s atmosphere placing a colorful penumbra on the lunar canvas. I feel we are experiencing a sort of cosmic lock system, like the Panama Canal, in which these alignments serve as bursts of creative pulses catalyzing and accelerating mass consciousness to reach the ultimate elevated level by allowing incremented flooding of the barriers. The Harmonic Concordance was a major elevating flooding of the lock system process, sixteen years after the Harmonic Convergence and nine years before the great crossing of the ecliptic. Astronomically, this is the perpendicular crossing of the galactic equator with the ecliptic marking an extremely significant moment on the precessional cycle. Perhaps as we approach this moment in time, the great attractor that it is, we are being prepared for what is to come with these systematically accelerating floodings of conscious creativity. I felt personally an opening of sorts with the creation of this piece. Beginning during the summer months while studying with renowned artist Robert Venosa in Cadeques, Spain and with no idea or intention in mind, the image seemed to construct itself. We were studying the Mitsch technique of pulling imagery out of a completely random underpainting and applying layers and layers of glazes allowing the art to grow organically. With no preconceived ideas in mind, I was able to completely open up to the unfolding present moment and capture the energetic interference pattern pervading the globe. The same energetic pulses guiding my hand also guided my body as I began traveling Europe and then back to the states painting along the way. In Europe, I was carried to the mystic temples of Gaudi in Barcelona and met global family at the European national rainbow gathering to have my intuitions validated that what is happening in my reality at home is occurring on a global scale. No matter where I went or whom I talked to, everyone seemed to be gravitating towards the same pathways of understanding and feeling a definite shift in reality. Interestingly enough, the synchronicities that I first became completely aware of during my first trip to Europe had been increasing more and more, and the set wave that I caught then had brought me back to the same exact place exactly seven years to the month later. My fluid travels then brought me to the west coast to experience Burning Man, which was undoubtedly a city scale experiment and preparation for our future in reality co-creation. Artistic creativity and energetic interdependence fuel the community and multidimensional realities are directly experienced opening up novel potentialities for all of the initiates involved. Further travels from the west coast to the east coast all revealed from my interactions with souls that something great is surely happening, on many scales. As the polarities flux yet maintain balance, we seem to be gathering strength and resources of light as the darker forces continue to harness military power to acquire global control. As they scramble for whatever fear they can muster out of humanity, they inadvertently feed us the growing force of love initiating our coming together and synergizing a collective movement which will be their ultimate demise. They know that terrorists and weapons of mass destruction aren’t the real threat to their regime, it is the workers of light that are here to open the minds and hearts of humanity that truly threaten their control. What they also know is that by wielding the media they can permeate fear across the globe extremely efficiently and attempt to hold humanity in a much lower level of experience and manipulate it for its own purpose. This is now more blatantly apparent than ever and anyone who doesn’t realize it is a sorry victim. So just as I was traveling and coalescing experiences in my self, the planets were slowly traveling and coalescing into this super sextile. And as this was happening, I felt an amazing creative burst and new forms and colors seemed to squeeze through me forcing their way onto the canvas. Initially designed to break up the organic flow of the colors and forms, I masked out a simple hexagonal star for contrast in design. This was the only aspect of the piece I was insistent on. I learned of the concordance weeks before but it wasn’t until the day of as I began the actual painting of the star that I realized what was really happening. The synchronicity of beginning the star, the final piece painted, on the day of the concordance was just too apparent to be mere happenstance. This, on a painting I began in July with no knowledge whatsoever of the planets making that shape months later. I had reached a new level of connectedness I felt with the creative forces of the universe. The timing was perfect and of course it was to be called Harmonic Concordance. This title to mark the significance of not only the alignment of the planets, but also the alignment of the universe with my own creative flow. At times somewhat overwhelming, I am always amazed at the unfolding understanding of the universe I’ve experienced through my artistic endeavors.
