Consciousness, art, and psychiatry

Gotta love being telepathically connected so that when you send out a strong message, it gets heard. Miss Bruno heard me today, as I had seen this post this morning from Jon Rappoport and intended to post it, but had other things at the time to tend to. So it wasn’t a surprise when she posted it for me, and as she shares, “This is a long, richly formatted article, but worth the read for anyone who’s ever wanted to create art and/or wondered if they’re ‘crazy’.” Being an artist since birth and having wondered the latter, this spoke to that voice I used to hear. My favorite part that Jon shares, in mirror to what I have personally discovered through my “crazy” 😉 life, is this: “The first artist was the first alchemist.

So it is with all art. You can transmute your own past, your own experience, your own knowledge, your own emotions into works of imagination.

Art is a spiritual path.

From its dynamic perspective, everything that has ever happened to you can take on absolutely new meaning.

This also happens to be the goal of all therapies.

But with art, the goal is fulfilled.

It is no exaggeration to say that the artist can reinvent his past.

Civilizations rise and fall, come and go, and their fate is decided by untold millions of people who refrain from taking the path of the artist.

Ordinary life as we know it doesn’t resolve into a grand solution. It never has. Through alchemical persuasion, however, it can. And that alchemy is art.” The path of the artist, to me, is about co-creating your life from your imaginative heart and seeing it as the work of art that it symbolically is. There’s a lot of insightfully woven info in his post to explore when you have some time.

About Tania Marie's Blog

Tania Marie is a writer, visionary artist, Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive guide, and energy alchemist whose life and work have grown from more than three decades of exploring the creative healing arts, metaphysical studies, and the living relationship between nature, spirit, and the heart. Her practice has become less about what she does and more about how she lives—listening deeply, following what feels alive, and allowing creativity, healing, and everyday experience to become part of the art of being. She is the author of *Spiritual Skin* and creator of the 11-episode YouTube series *Talks With Crystal Skulls*. Her lifelong relationship with crystals and crystal skulls continues quietly behind the scenes, while her deep connection with rabbits has profoundly shaped the way she experiences presence, wonder, and the quiet language of the heart. Egypt has also become one of Tania's greatest teachers and a profound part of her ongoing journey of remembrance, empowerment, and embodied aliveness. Her relationship with the land has naturally grown into meaningful creative partnerships and opportunities to share its living wisdom with others. Today, Tania devotes much of her time to writing, photography, inspired offerings, sacred journeys, and following the ever-evolving invitations of a life lived in relationship with the living world.
