Esoterica in painting
 

There are not all perceived genre or rather "side of life" - mysticism, or, in the present day - Esotericism.
Have a lot of - magic, enlightenment, does not consider options and the authors even more. To believe or not believe - personal question. Most often, when a person has all the good - he is an atheist and a skeptic. Once somewhere "a sore", these phenomena are at once perceived easier. Charlatans - the sea, but the number of crooks do not exclude the phenomenon itself.
One of the most mysterious doctrines (religion), in my opinion, is the Kabbalah.

What is it? The question of the most difficult. For example often in everyday life we use the word "enslave" that is somehow enslave. This word came to us from the Arabs, and the means to impose a tribute. By Religion or Kabbalah has nothing to do except harmonies, and it plays with the Kabbalah bad joke.

Answer the question what the Kabbalah is not possible, although the mass of options, such as:

In general, more or less, while other "true" Kabbalists say that this is complete nonsense.
The main problem is that there is no universally accepted first-hand, as the Bible or the Koran. All information is highly secret (as someone who possessed this knowledge, it is still that possessed nuclear weapons - Esotericism, you understand), transmitted orally, and at some point had been made possible allegorical writing, let alone in drevneevreyskom. And some believe that it is impossible to understand the Kabbalah if you are not a Jew, not zaesh ancient Hebrews and to observe all that is written in the Torah, every day.

I liked the Kabbalah one small aspect, namely: there is (what? From? "- Is a separate lecture) table, which were written 72 name of the Creator. Each name has its own properties.
One gives health, more success in the affairs of the third protection against misfortune, and so on. The impact of simple contemplation. To me, they liked their graphic quality. After drawing the first picture, was surprised to find friends interested in these images. Even those who are in the active form does not believe in all the beyond, in this case to take pleasure and hang in your home.
  Will the effect? - Ask me skeptical.
My answer is history. On the Jewish Kabbalists forum, I asked this question. Nobody even noticed him. After repeated calls to draw attention to the question: "Is it true that 72 named have power?" - Reluctantly answered: "check themselves".

Constantine, you have a good picture. When there is a sense of mystery, this is a real art.
I really like the Belgian artist Rene Magritte (1898-1967).
In adulthood, he said about his work: "I take a random object or subject as an issue and then take over the search for another object that could be the answer. To become a candidate for an answer, the desired object must be associated with the object-matter of the set secret ties. If the answer suggests itself in all clarity, the relationship between two objects being established.
These words of the great surrealist, apply to your work.
-------------------------------------------------
Yes, the author of these interesting works, a talented artist: Babulin Konstantin Leonidovich.

I am pleased that this information appeared you curious.

Here's more food for thought.
Drevneevreyskom letter in the alphabet and the figure was at the same time, hence all the words have their number, here comes the science "numerology".
It is also alleged that the letters of the Creator created the entire world. Sounds strange, until you learn that yet another meaning of the letter - is sound, the sound is a wave, or more simply - energy.
And here suddenly assumes the meaning of the phrase from the Bible: "In the beginning was the word."

About creativity Constantine Babulina
 

Konstantin, be honest philosophical questions of Kabbalah is not my forte, just started studying, I think in 2-3 months closer look.
I'm more interested in the relationship of your painting with the works of Rene Magritta.To that it exists is indisputable .. I would like to know your opinion?
Вложение 18935
"False Mirror" auth: Rene Magritte.
1935.
René Magritte (Rene Magritte), Belgian surrealist painter. Born November 21, 1898. From 1916 through 1918 Magritte studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Brussels (Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts).

I apologize that wedge into the conversation.

Eugene, if you still do not engage in serious study of any philosophical and religious teachings (Buddhism, Zen, Tao, Yoga, Sufism, dzogchen ...), then I'm afraid, for 2-3 months understanding will be impossible. It must feel, but to experience the need to do spiritual practices, and this people go whole life. Believe experience - 15-20 years - a minimum period of serious spiritual practice sessions before the person begins to understand what's what in this life. Stress - only starts to understand. And this is no exception (well, almost no).

Of course, Constantine in his reasoning all greatly simplified, but it is clear that in a short message to explain the essence of the device of the universe is not easy. Although it is possible. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali occupy the volume of text, page four, and in them - everything. But their full translation from Sanskrit no.

Although, perhaps, in this case, the Yoga Sutras - the wrong example. Yoga Sutras - a technology, methods to achieve awareness. To understand the essence of things is more suitable texts. The best - "The precious treasure Dharmadhatu" Longchenpa Rabjam. This Dzogchen. But to understand it - in order to come to an understanding - I'm afraid 15 years of practice - this is a minimum.

Nik, In my life I've studied a lot of that, further reading, try to understand.
Guru of course on all matters will not, it is understandable .. but some things that interest me personally, I will try to clarify for themselves.

Equal with Magritte - is strong.
Overall this is probably - mystery. In my case, the mystery is loading. I would describe his paintings of this content as talismans or amulets.
For instance, this - in translation from the 1820 "protection from evil forces", and the translation of 2000, "Protection from negative energies."

And the most difficult thing is to advise where to begin to study Kabbalah.
Would suggest that the book itself you will find the right time. Kabbalah advised to study after 40 years, had not exactly understood.
I started with books Iyagudy Berg (very easy), then Michael Laitman (harder). And both of them in Israel are considered profane. There are many very fat books with crazy terminology (only its not easy to learn). I could not.
If you are interested in Spiritual start with Vadim Zealand Transerfing. And they also can and finish.

Since the post I was curious to learn from other examples of the forum "mystical" or "Esoteric" painting.

About creativity Constantine Babulina
 

Konstantin, Rene Magritte, my opinion, the founder of "esoteric" zhivopisi.Esli that it will fall more interesting, I'll write.
He, too, when it was just an artist ..

Speaking of the "esoteric" painting, before talking about the surrealist, it is essential to mention Giorgio de Chirico, who called his painting "metaphysical".
You will not want to repeat it - a great, very great artist - everybody knows it. But with his work involves a lot of strange, inexplicable - or at least, unexplained - phenomena.
One case: shortly before the First World War, he painted a portrait of Guillaume Apollinaire's with a wound on his temple. A few months later Apollinaire was called, went to the front and soon received a wound in his temple, exactly where it was wound on the portrait of de Chirico (Apollinaire until the end of life raged for a de Chirico).
After the formation of the group, the Surrealists tried hard to lure him, but de Chirico, a confirmed loner and a little (or even not so little) megaloman, resolutely refused, and he belonged to several surrealist derisively and condescendingly.

Here are a representative of mysticism - Paul Delvaux. In my opinion there is a kind of vampirism.

LEGEND OF ST VERONICA
In 1879, in St. Petersburg was an exhibition of German artists. One of them, Gabriel von Max, presented the painting "St. Veronica's handkerchief with the image nailed to the wall of a piece of coarse linen with the face of Christ in the center. Unusual pattern was that viewers could see the eyes of the Savior is closed, then open. Newspapers of the time wrote that the organizers had to put chairs in the hall, as some of the ladies fainted, exclaiming: "Look!" Look! "


Kalinin.

1) Gabriel von Max. "St. Veronica's handkerchief." 1870's. Germany.
2) "Holy Face". Image of the 1970's with the picture of an unknown artist, Russia.

Here are some interesting "facts."

That is mestomne particularly liked

A remarkable artist, sorry only at the end of life began to repeat the scenes 20-ies: pictures, like, the same, but there is no tension.

According to Orthodox tradition "Holy Face" nothing to do with what Veronica does not. A is related to the king! Now I do not remember which, I can clarify, but it seems Ageyskomu I do not remember now, it really was, whether this is the situation when he sent Christ and sent messengers to ask Jesus to say so to instruct. THEIR please him faith AMU put a towel to her face and gave it to couriers. Then it hung over the gate in the city (I think in a special niche ... but it is the details. And this is probably too Veronika Catholics invented. Painfully saccharine.

The king went mistake: Edessa, he was not Ageysky.
