Description This work encompasses many ideas. It is an attempt to capture many of the metaphysical/new age/occult/spiritual concepts. I have connected this piece with the song from the band Tool entitled “Lateralus” since that is the only song I have yet to hear that does such an excellent job of bringing together all of the metaphysical/new age/occult/spiritual concepts. In this work the human is shown as the divine being that it truly is. The 7 major charkas are shown going up through the spinal cord (Prana tube). The charkas are energy centers. There are minor other minor ones all throughout the body. When a chakra is unhealthy (closed or just barely spinning) this can cause physical, emotional, or mental problems in certain areas that are connected with that chakra. A chakra can be reopened with meditation or by someone who was the healing capabilities to do so. I have begun doing this, and so far have healed 4 people. Life energy, or prana, comes in from the crown chakra (top of head) and flows down through each chakra allowing you to live. From the root charka ( #1, in red at the bottom) extends the grounding cord. This cord extends to the center of the Earth, where it is then wrapped around the white light ball that lies there. This helps to keep the spiritualists grounded when leaving their body during meditations. The planets around her head show how they effect us from birth (the study of Astrology). Our personalities are created by the alignment of all of the planets at our birth as well as the experiences we have throughout our life. The planets and stars are constantly sending large amounts of their energies towards us affecting us in every way. The Leo symbol on the sun has two purposes. One is that the model for this is a Leo, and the other purpose is that Leo is ruled by the sun and represents self-consciousness or human awareness (Alice Bailey). The Taurus symbol at the bottom represents the artist (I am a Taurus) as well as that Taurus is the earthiest sign. The large crosses coming up from the Earth represent Christ Consciousness, or the fact that we are all sons and daughters of “god”. The spirals coming from those represent the pattern of growth found in all things. This can be seen from the atomic level, up to the universal level. Look up Fibanocci sequence. The energies around her body show the aura. Everyone has an aura around them, which is made up of a mix of the energies they are giving off and the energies they are receiving. The earth also has an aura as well. There is much, much, much more to this…a lot of which is hard to completely explain in a few words. Again, all of that is shown in this picture is connected with each other, for all that is is ONE. Also, all these ideas are being proved more and more by science. I’d more than happy to answer any questions about any of this. This song is my all time favorite song. Every time I hear it I feel healed, inspired, enlightened, uplifted, and so much more. Here are the lyrics from the song “Lateralus”. I wish I could include the music with it, for that is just as important as the words:

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. br>
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going, going...
The model for this pick is the divine Leo, Russian, Peach Goddess. You can find her excellent works at

Hi
I liked this a lot.
I used it for a post in my blog, an old article I revised.
It´s a humor post about music and energies (to me God have fun).
Hope you allow it, full credits of course.

OMFG ! That's it ! In my opinion "Lateraus" is one of the Masterpieces of all time. It means power, divinity, inspiration, stronger mind, liberty, mind travel, thinking... It means all the extraordinary human emotions.

I'd like to invite you to see my deviation called "Lateralus", please.

Amazing work!

A truly incredible work of art all on it's own. Despite hitting the nail on the head with Lateralus, this is great in it's own right. The energies, the color, the symbolism you used, it's all necessary if Lateralus is to be depicted properly visually. Great, great work my Friend. This is one of the best, if not the greatest I've seen so far submitted to this Tool Project.

I agree with Megh. The lifeforce pole penetrating the earth is wonderful. I wish you saw enough of the earth here that it could actually connect with the center. I also like the auras around the palm chakras. They look very soothing; capable of healing. The chakras on the central pole, from bottom to top, that whole area, looks pretty confusing to me. I don't get a sense of flow and resonance. It looks like a lot of different lines of energy stumbling into each other. Its difficult to get a lot of ideas and symbolism into a small space, but I'm sure you'll get it. Add some patience to your persistance and you've got it.

this is awesome, the colours, symbolism and meaning behind this is just amazing; i know there is some to it that i'm not getting completely, so if you make a nice, elaborative response to anyone explaining this in more depth, try to remember to shoot me a copy of it. great work...

Very awesome colors you have here. I love the concept of the piece, and the sort of symmetry that comes from it.

I really like the inclusion of the solar system and other elements into the piece.

Really awesome job.
