METAMORPHOSIS © 1987 Jacqueline Ripstein Oil on canvas We come to Earth to experience spiritual growth. The journey of life unfolds in the visible world, while the true reality is being created in the Invisible realm. It is the soul, not the body, that ascends through each stage of transformation rising from density toward Light. Each figure in the painting represents a phase of human evolution from earthly experiences we learn; from test to test we ascend toward Divine awakening. It is not age that grants us awareness, but the state of awakening we achieve through learning that determines how high we rise. Through struggle and surrender, we are lifted by the hands of our previous selves, until we expand into the fullness of our being one with the Light, one with Creation. Only when we let go of the illusion of who we think we are, can we rise into who we were always meant to be beings of Eternal Light.
