Knowing the knowing...Thank you Deepak!

Explanation of how art flows.

Hello Sweet artsy friends!

Today I am explaining the process of how my art and illustrations take on their own life.

This particular art started with Dr. Deepak Chopra's words: "Knowing the knowing, understanding the understanding."

Many of us are evolving and becoming more aware of our energy. I have learned all 3 levels of Reiki and use it daily in my life.

The spiral comes from my studies. The sacred symbol seemed like the perfect space upon which to hold the words Deepak spoke -in a instagram video. (Fig.1)

I then took the elements of the composition and enclosed the spiral words above the red circle. Red being a passionate color, red also represents the root chakra.  (Fig.2)

Then the next morning I awakened with the idea of creating a figure with that spiral. I used seven circles of the head shape to give me the height. Then used the warp feature in photoshop to pull the red spiral and created the torso, bicep, forearm and hand. Then did the same with the leg and foot. (Fig.3) Notice the silly circles for the breast. (laughing)

Then I decided to play and create a side view. These figures are abstract-deconstructed energy. Flowing energy and a lovely bottom of energy for her buttocks. (Fig.4)

The last playful piece was the pentagon geometric shape. I used two of the side viewed women, placed them back to back and rotated them 72 degrees to create a female star. I particularly liked the fingers of her hands touching! Behind the women, I duplicated them and then blurred with a radial blur. (Fig.5)

I am very close to learning "Adobe after effects". I am teaching myself. My daughter swears she will tutor me for a night or two when I see her in April. Watch out world!

Now why did I do all of this? It started with Dr. Deepak Chopra's words. "Knowing the knowing." There comes a time of introspection, when you realize you are doing what you are loving because you can not help but create. I create, because I can not help but create.

I adore what Deepak says about the creative mind is "whole and holy". Thank you Deepak for inspiring art! Life is great with our connected energy! Be inspired! Be transformed! Keep flowing and glowing!

Woooohoooooo!!! Expect miracles! 2018

knowing the knowing


Dr. Deepak Chopra

Speaking on instagram.

The meta human...infinite possibilities.

The mind is not original.

When "the knowing of knowing or
the understanding of understanding"
 IS
the
meta human.

Inspired by his words.

Leaning against the threshold

Original art created using Illustrator

John O'donahue was a great one to talk about crossing thresholds. Walking through a dooryard to another (fill in the blank).

Another world
Another you
Another attitude
Another love
Another relationship

Then a friend was talking about her depression. How she didn’t feel like doing anything. That she stayed with it- she had the luxury of staying at home, not having to leave her bed. She is very rich, and she doesn’t know it.

Most of us- HAVE to leave our beds and have to go make the money to pay the bills.

Though- that isn’t the point of this rambling blog. The point was the depth of the threshold. I think of a threshold as a door way, much like a door jamb.
The door jamb is 6 inches - at the most- 8 inches. Though, what if the threshold becomes a hallway.

So the walking through is an action which takes time. It would be akin to standing in a doorway. Leaning against the door jamb. Maybe just waiting until one gathers the courage to actually step through, into the next space, the next realm, the next whatever it is you are searching for.

However, as I am typing the words here, I am pondering over the woman who just stayed in bed. She was owning her depression and her state of not wanting to face the world.

Why do some of us keep evolving and wanting more? Not content to lay still in the bed. While others are perfectly content to stay put?

So many questions.

Whatever your wants, may you find them. The light is always at the end of the threshold. We have this! We are conquering our fears, we are, we are!

LOVE

My son and I were talking about LOVE and Valentine's Day. Some friends feel like the commercialism of the day has become a monster machine of "having to do something" for your significant other.

I agree, it has become the day- that you really ought to get your act in gear. Come on, THIS is a day that does mean a lot- to many of us.

We talked about his gift and his girlfriend and if he did remember to get her a present for the day.

I am glad to report that he managed his Valentine's day wonderfully. Whew. I haven't completely failed as a mom!



My significant other got me beautiful presents and I snuggle cuddle into it every night. Find someone who pays attention to the little things. Keep shining, smiling, singing...and sashaying.
I love you guys!

The Healing Self

Photograph and composition by Judith Parsons Art 2018


I met Dr. Deepak Chopra last night, I shook his hand and gave him some art I created. It was a moment in life that I had dreamed of ages ago. I knew in my heart I would meet him one day. It was a lovely meeting, and as I sat in the front row listening to his lecture I was in awe of this wise young man.

Deepak is young, there is a light that emits from him, a glowing when he is speaking about what he loves. He reminds me of a young boy that is learning to float upon his back. As Deepak made eye contact with me for a few seconds every now and again, I felt that innocent spirit that is very much like the child-like want to be swimmer.

I imagine I will meet up again with this incredible giving man. His passion for healing others is palatable. I am glowingly happy as I read your book. I am savoring the words. Enjoying how to heal and become healthier. Thank you for your healing light!
