Freedomland Painting

Land of freedom, but written as the name of an imaginary place. In the center of the scene, the baby girl and her lion represent the feminine and masculine energies, the intuitive, creative mind and the rational mind: the energy of doing, the ego, the conditionable mind. Only those with an open intuitive mind can master their fears; this, I think, was the meaning of Christ's words: "Let the children come to me." He was perhaps exhorting us all to let the child in us spring up, with our intuitive minds. Here is the little girl, representing feminine energy, intuition, the Sacred Gift, guiding the lion, the rational mind and, at the same time, being guided by him in an impervious environment: they support each other in unity. The desert sand in the foreground, a cactus, the tall weed in the field, the high mountains in the background; you might say: this is not children’s stuff. Nevertheless, she faces it fearlessly, with the help of the lion. The baby girl’s face is deliberately painted with a serious expression, austere and serene at the same time; the righteous center, as Sai Baba said. She listens, she is peace, and she knows the Truth. On her left, the lion is intentionally painted with a naive, almost stupefied expression, but he too radiates, in his own way, peacefulness. The desert recalled by the sand represents introspection and meditation, the silence that the baby girl, free of conditioning, can hear. The scene is dominated by the color purple, the color of the seventh Chakra, Sahasrara, of the seventh sky (Ananda), the sky of unity with the Whole.
