How The Master Works Work

“When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men.”~Manly P. Hall

“All conscious life is rooted in a subconscious soul-life.” ~Rudolf Steiner

Understanding how the Subconscious Functions

“A personal healing will ever be the most convincing evidence of the healing power of the subconscious mind.” ~Joseph Murphy {The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, 1963}

Utilizing the Collective Unconscious

The collective unconscious is defined by the American Psychological Association as, “the part of the unconscious that, according to Carl Jung, is common to all humankind and contains the inherited accumulation of primitive human experiences in the form of ideas and images called archetypes and manifested in myths as well as other cultural phenomena (e.i., religion) and in dreams. It is the deepest and least accessible part of the unconscious mind.”1

However, the collective unconscious is not the least accessible part of the mind. . . .

Our subconscious is enmeshed within the collective unconscious . . . .

“This living soul is not seen within, but it works and lives within. And it cannot be found through external research, but its paths, its destinies, its life can only be found through those processes that are purely inner soul processes…”

~Rudolf Steiner, GA65; Lecture 4: “The Human Soul and the Human Spirt,” December 10, 1915

To communicate, this deep aspect of ourselves speaks an exotic language that often uses archetypes, allegory, and metaphor, while utilizing symbol and color to convey meaningful messages. This language acts as a bridge of communication between what comes from the spiritual world, making it comprehensible and accessible to our conscious mind in the physical world. It’s tailored to our individual experience while also connected to the collective.

Speaking with the subconscious

is an aspect of our Forgotten Infrastructure, it

is natural human nature . . . .

How The Master Work Series Works

In unveiling the human journey, like a template for exploring archetypes and much more, if one is willing, the Series can help open up forgotten doors

This is because its overarching context reflects the collective trials and themes of our human journey, the Hero’s Journey. But Unlike reading a linear story, the Series works in a more organic and intuitive manner, wherein its archetypal nature resonates with the viewer according to their souls reflection, like a mirror. This is expressed in the physical by one’s attraction to a particular painting, a particular portion of a painting, or even the Series as a whole. Of course the way it works is not limited to this and the viewer may have a curious pull towards several aspects within multiple Works.

Within each curious pull of our souls reflection deeper forgotten archetypal impulses await to be remembered and worked upon. Naturally, within time, our innate nature is revived through our own deep work and research.

“The collective unconscious consists of the sum of the instincts and their correlates, the archetypes. Just as everybody possesses a stock of archetypes.”~Carl Jung

“The fact is that archetypal images are so packed with meaning in themselves that people never think of asking what they really do mean.”~Carl Jung

In working our atrophied muscles, our forgotten infrastructure is slowly remembered through an inner journey of cultivating subconscious strength. Through intergrading all that we are into our unique individual balanced states, we earn our wings, becoming harmonically human ~

which is the ultimate ingredient for a humanity in harmony.

The Master Work Series

The Master Work Series really cannot be understood through a matter of explanation, but rather through experience.

“Therefore, anyone who follows the path of spiritual research must above all ensure that what he develops as spirit does not lack the foundation of soul life. The spirit can only distance itself from the reality of one’s own personality and thus from the grasp of world reality if love does not prevail in the soul. If love reigns in the soul, if the soul is permeated and energized by the element of love, then it is strong enough to hold the spirit, no matter to what heights of light it may rise. And again, if a person does not disdain to seek wisdom in the world, wisdom-filled connections – not wisdom that is identical with cleverness, but humble wisdom that prevails in the world – if he wants to realize this wisdom in himself and not just grasp it with his mind, not merely with abstraction, but allows it to submerge into the loving soul; when everything that is wisdom, light, is warmed through by what arises in the soul, which places man in life as a lover of humanity, and on the other hand, when wisdom, the spirit, makes him a judge of character, then, in turn, this is suitable to lead man away from egoism and to really carry love up into that which he, by adding knowledge to love, can experience as an overview of the world: the spirit that is rooted in the loving soul, warm soul love that allows itself to be illuminated by the spirit, that is an ideal of humanity.” ~Rudolf Steiner, GA65; Lecture 4: “The Human Soul and the Human Spirt,” December 10, 1915

“…if we turn our attention to the outer world through our senses, or approach it through our intellect or any form of mental activity, we come to know all sorts of things. But a more exact consideration of every age of cognition compels us to realise that behind everything we can know about the world at large something else lies hidden: something that is certainly not unknowable but in every epoch has to be described as not yet known. And this not-yet-known, which lies below the surface of the known in the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms, belongs as much to ourselves as it does to external nature. It belongs to us in so far as we absorb and work up in our physical organism the materials and forces of the outer world; and inasmuch as we have within us a portion of nature, we have also within us a portion of the unknown in nature. So in the world wherein we live we must distinguish a triad: our conscious spiritual life; our subconscious soul-life below the threshold of consciousness; and that which, as the unknown in nature and at the same time in man, lives in us as part of the great unknown Nature.” ~Rudolf Steiner, ~Rudolf Steiner, GA 131/ Lecture 1, October 5, 1911

how Strong You really Are

It was not until I started researching into the subconscious reasoning behind what I was painting that I began to learn the power of our subconscious and the power that imagery, symbols, and language can have on it when the interior faculties remain atrophied.

“A picture paints a thousand words in an instant, after all, and symbolism can represent many different concepts all at once, with the use of form and colour.”~Phillip Langdon
