“Different people created their own spiritual leader(s)”
Albert Einstein once said: “Everything is energy. That’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want (vision, thoughts, and emotions), and that is the reality you will receive. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
In various paintings, I have spontaneously depicted sources of energy—sometimes resembling a hot spring or a geyser, sometimes appearing as plants rooted in the earth, or as bursts of energy in the sky. Often, the skies themselves are painted as a collection of energy sources. I like to call this an E-cloud—an energy cloud.
This particular painting I named immediately upon completion: “Jungle of Energies.”
It soon became clear to me that what I was really painting were energy sources created by groups of people who, through shared thoughts and emotions—through prayer and meditation—had built their own energy field at a certain frequency level within the E-cloud.
More concretely, I envisioned that Christians, in their own way, could connect with their familiar Christian energy source and communicate with it. The resonating vibrations returning from that source would naturally be perceived as the response of their spiritual leader. In exactly the same way, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and followers of other traditions communicate with their own spiritual leader(s).
It suggests that perhaps it was humanity that created the gods, rather than the gods creating humanity. Yet, these gods now do exist, and their followers experience them as real. I too have felt guidance and inspiration from my spiritual leaders throughout my life.
One might compare this with the rise of Artificial Intelligence—a creation of humankind that is already beginning to surpass us in certain areas and is now helping humanity in return. How remarkable that Einstein captured the essence of all this in just over two sentences. And how fitting that, as a painter, I need not explain too much—because my paintings already speak for themselves.
