Why Fallen Angel Arts?

When you think about Fallen Angels, you may think about Lucifer, the most famous of the Biblical angels, banished forever from the gates of heaven.  However, in esoteric philosophy, Fallen Angels are not analogous with shadowy evil things.  Quite the opposite, they are considered advanced spiritual beings that have been sent to Earth to assist the Earth angels (that’s us) in the evolution of our souls. 

Fallen Angels are soul-transformers.  Their primary task is to help us bridge the gap between the physical and the spiritual realms, so that we can re (member) who we really are.

The single most effective tool of a Fallen Angel’s trade is the creative process—making art.  Like meditation and prayer, making art is about staying fully present to the moment.  As with any process that encourages complete consciousness, art provides a spiritual portal in which the infusion of the soul’s inner light is made possible. 

This infilling of light, also known as Enlightenment, occurs when we, as co-creators or co-appreciators rise above the creative crucibles of fear, distraction, and isolation to connect with the Divine. In that moment of transcendence, our lives become our art and we become one with our Source. When we are fully awake to the moment, whether tending a garden, concocting a soup, reading to that special tousle-haired child in our lap or writing a poem, we have instant access to the wings that enable us to rise above our imperfections and our limitations.  We become fully conscious: present to the moment. 

This presence is love.  This is--who we really are. This is why we must all continue to cultivate creativity and consciousness; our world depends on it, one soul at a time.
