RAGE / Oil on Canvas / Impressionism
Every life is a story. But for a creative person, or for a person of skill, talent and passion, that story gets bloody dramatic ALL THE TIME !! It turns life into a series of multiple stories.
Addiction, love, obsession, depression, high level performance, anxiety, energy shift, healing, breakdown, ecstasy, deathly melancholy, moods, you name it, and it is there, constantly whirling like a mad whirlpool ! And these crazy souls are sucked into one or the other whirlpool constantly.
WHY ?
As a sane and balanced individual you would justifiably ask the valid question, “Why on earth can’t you walk straight on a straight road, baby ?”
The “baby” looks into your eyes , shakes her head and closes the door, saying “I am a social recluse”. :D :D
Artists, Actors, Writers, Poets, Sports Talents, Composers, Reformers, Scientists, Researchers, Healers, Saints, Inventors, Philosophers, Thinkers, Witches, Wizards, Prophesiers - they are all in the realm of creative people who are bringing in new awareness, thoughts, and creations into this world.
They are MUTANTS ! 😎
They are the blessed souls who help the collective world consciousness to evolve into the next level of awareness and align with the Universe.
But their own personal life is fraught with turbulence and raging emotions and struggle.
A normal life with security, money, spouse, kids, fulfilled love, … are you joking ? )))) . They see this like a lovely movie in their neighbour’s life. 😄
Are they weird ? Mad? Aliens? … Perhaps all, perhaps none !
-Vincent cut his ear and created a masterpiece. He yearned for his love Eugene, battled depression and gave art world a new and dramatic genre of expression.
-Dante forever lived in the shadow of sorrow of his love for Beatrice , another man’s wife. His own life became an "Inferno" !
-Beethoven, in the sorrow of his unrequited love for the young Duchess, gave the world “Moonlight Sonata” !
-Joan of Arc was burnt at the stakes.
-Carl Jung died a lonely man in isolation
-Robert Downey Junior(actor), George Benson(ahtlete), Madonna(singer), Marilyn Monroe(actress) have all battled emotional rage & addiction. Some survived, some succumbed.
The list is endless.
There are some people amongst us, whose energy and awareness resonates at a much higher frequency. Their heightened frequency & awareness connects them to their Unconscious, making them extremely sensitive (not sentimental) and intuitive. It is impossible for them to not see, not hear or not feel.
They live by their instincts and follow the path of their heart. Hence experience every season, from spring to winter and bear every storm, a little bit harder.
Society cannot shackle or bind them. They are free souls that are only guided by love and a raging passion ! But the unfortunately, the unfeeling world drains them.
“ Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey.
Look out on a summer’s day.
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul….
.....How you suffered for your sanity
......How you tried to set them free.
.......They would not listen, they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will”
(Don Mclean's Starry Starry Night on Vincent Van Gogh)
What is important to understand is that, Creation and High Intensity Performance are outpourings of Emotional intensity that flows like a Rage. It gives Focus of an Obsessive Energy. There is nothing casual or loose about this energy.
It is very attractive and magnetising to look from afar.
But very difficult to live with or be in.
Just like a stormy sea. It looks beautiful in pictures. Thrilling for a while. But scary to be in :).
Not for weak hearts. :)
My painting RAGE (oil on canvas) .
(Rage is not simply anger. Rage is uncontrolled emotional intensity).
“ It flows like a rage,
Crashing on the Rocks & Cliffs that are dead.
Beneath dark skies,
Waiting for a Dawn.”

Success to all ....

Yes, as I always like your blogs, I choose to read them when I am not in a hurry. Because you have got that great talent of painting so well, and also describing the things connected in such a beautiful way!!
I always like to read your writings not once, but twice and sometimes even thrice!! Please preserve all your writings in Google docs. You can get them printed as a beautiful book!! And I wish I would be the first one to read it!!
You are a genius highly talented, yet so simple!! Love and hugs...Hi dear @nehab though I voted this blog few days ago, I could just find some free time now to read it leisurely..!!.
thank you @geetharao ... Thank you for the awesome compliment and the appreciation. I am truly honoured :) ... I totally understand. Sometimes things get very busy and hectic for all of us. I myself have come here after a long time. Festival times are busy. Wishing you a very happy holi. May the vibrant colours of love and joy always blossom in your garden. :)And thank you for the book suggestion. Something like that was in my mind :) . Thank you @geetharao
You look so cute in this new profile photo... :) <3...
thank you @geetharao ... You made my day. We were going for a meeting, a few days back. And Delhi traffic is awful. Traffic jams are good for taking photos I guess. The camera decided to flatter :D ... thank you so much :)
:) :)
Thank you so much for your appreciation and support. I am indebted to you ... :)@onceuponatime @mangos @twiceuponatime @friends5 @vault @team @bue @erath @barcisz , @marginal
Absolutely agree with your thoughts, the artist they are not from this world, but on other hand they are very sensible and one should be careful with them not to hurt with their comments. I love your painting, you know that I love sea and storms. Beautiful done! Amazing colors and you can feel the power and violence of the storm.
I guess they are just aliens :D ... Though I do not think they get hurt easily. :)
It's more like "who have they given the power to hurt" to. :)
Thank you so much. It makes me happy that you feel the power and the violence. I so wanted to infuse the rage ! After all you love the sea and storms. Thank you, @stef1 :)
Beautiful painting Neha! Love the write up too.
I think we all can raise our frequencies if we decide to.
I've been working on it.
Yes... totally agree with you. Some are born with heightened awareness. But all of us are the same energy. We can raise our frequency through meditation and positive thoughts. Even our life experiences help us to raise our frequencies if we are ready to learn and are open minded. Similarly it is in our hands to fall into an abyss and lower our frequencies.
Awakening is a process of making the Unconscious, conscious ! It is possible for all.
What is it that you practice, @wandereronwheels ? I am so excited to know that you practice Ascension :)
And thank you so much for your appreciation. Truly happy and honoured :) .
But tell me, what do you practice ? :)
I don't practice anything complicated. I have read somewhere that we are a projection of our thoughts. Most of us have negative thoughts, including me, most of the time when we just let it go with the flow. Because that's how the energy is on earth.
So, I always try to watch my thoughts and as soon as I see it spiraling downwards, I try to get it up. For example when it gets depressing and I sense it, I keep a fake smile on my face for sometime and the thoughts automatically change to good ones. I'm also trying to learn to appreciate small things of life. I never used to give much attention to it before. Other than that I'm doing deep breathing. I'm in the beginner stage of awakening I guess :P I want to know your methods too. :)
That is nice. Really good. :) ...
I do not practice anything. Painting is my active meditation. It balances me.
I accept that which is ! I listen to my instincts . I definitely do not try to be happy :D . I just feel the vibes and am spontaneous . Stay away from drama. :) . I believe -"Thought is the first action. Rest is process of implementation. Crime is first committed in the head " ... :)
That's good to know. I've experienced that once we let a small negative thought into our mind and not stop it, it gives birth to more. So I try to put a stop to it before it spreads. Good to know there are people sharing the same thoughts :)
Yes... Good to know that there is a flock of birds with similar feathers 😊. Great to know our thoughts resonate.
Wish you success and prosperity, @wandereronwheels
You too :)
