Leap of Consciousness
My inspiration to create this sculpture is a rooted in depicting the feeling of peace, freedom and harmony. It’s title “Leap of Consciousness” implying awareness of our interconnectedness with all life. To become conscious - "Sentio Ergo Sum" *) - "I feel therefore I am". By feeling empathy, we are able to connect with others and the world around us.
The Leap of Consciousness represents a moment of feeling peace with oneself surrendering to deeper awareness. Peace is a reflection of your most inner state of being. Through meditation one may feel centred, grounded, open and aware. By finding inner peace we may become conscious of our interconnectedness with all life. By feeling at peace we may be able to be compassionate with others. As Albert Einstein once said, “Our task must be to widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” We all share a common emotional and spiritual intelligence with all beings on Earth.
By tuning into peace energy, we are surrounded by harmony. This feeling of peace and harmony goes hand in hand with experiencing freedom of mind, freedom of existing and accepting who we are. There’s ongoing work to do as we are growing and evolving in life, whether this be on an individual or generational basis. Shedding old behaviour and attitudes or cultures that are destructive and thus aren’t needed anymore can be hard work. Through meditation and yoga practices we are able to delve deep within ourselves discovering new spaces and creating new awareness.
Life is about expanding consciousness. Through our interactions energies are exchanged, we manifest and grow with experiences. We reflect each other. I see you in me. I see me in you. It’s like seeing oneself in a mirror which allows us to grow in developing empathy and awareness on different levels. By sending love, peace, happiness, freedom, respect and acceptance we're sending these energies back to ourselves. May your life path be guided and blessed with peace, love and harmony.
*) "Cogito ergo sum" meaning, "I think, therefore I am" is a philosophical Latin statement proposed by René Descartes in the 17th century. This expression implies that the simple thought of wondering about one's existence is proof of one's existence. However we may never fully become aware of being alive by thinking. Through experience and by feeling we are connected wholly. "Sentio Ergo Sum" - "I feel therefore I am". By feeling empathy, we are able to connect with others.
