5 8 2018 Ruminations on a Painting by Rembrandt

☀️🌸☀️🌺☀️🌸
Warmed by the light –
The inner stair manifests.
Confines fade away.

Contemplating a painting by Rembrandt:
Some say this painting by Rembrandt depicts a philosopher while others say it is merely a domestic scene. Whatever the original intent of the artist, for me today it represents a portion of the divine feminine and the divine masculine journey.
With the work of feeding the fire of intention and bringing the heat needed to destroy the dross and stoke the engine at the base of the spine (the divine feminine figure on the right kneeling at the fire) and then with inner focused intention bathed in the light of illumination to move up the spine (the divine masculine figure sitting quietly on the left); now working together the spiral ascent may occur.

Ruminating on a spiral strand of DNA and the neuroplasticity of the brain, science and spirit converge.
