Question: Which style of directions in contemporary fine arts can promote spiritual growth? And which ones would not? What artists should spiritual seekers pay attention to?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar- Being the Divine Mother.
Well, my beloved, what you need to do here is to apply the teachings we have given you on increasing your personal discernment. I have no desire to go out and give a list of artists that are supposedly positive artists or not as we do not have a desire to do this with even spiritual teachings or spiritual teachers.
What you need to do is increase your attunement and your discernment by coming to a point where you can sense the vibration of a work of art in your heart. You can, as we have said before, sense whether there is an uplifting movement of energy or a downward movement of energy.
You can look at a piece of art; you can experience it beyond the linear analytical mind. You can feel whether it raises or lowers your energies. You can go beyond this and increase your discernment even more where you can look at a piece of art and sense certain elements that are uplifting, certain elements that are not. But this is something you can develop, if you have an interest in doing this as an individual.
It is not something we want to give any general teaching on, and it is partly because as we move into the Aquarian Age, people need to increase their attunement and discernment, but also because as we are moving out of the dualistic mindset, it is in many cases too simplistic to say: “Well, this school of art is entirely negative and this school of art is entirely positive.”
There are very, very few artists who are entirely positive and very few that are entirely negative. There are some, but not many. Most people are a mixture of both. Most people have different elements in their art, and therefore, it is simply too simplistic to apply this black and white evaluation.
