Luke Brownwhat kind of mind even creates something like that?
“Baphomet is a character that can be traced back to the ancient world - Babylon, Phonecia, Sumeria and is traditionally seen as the embodiment of the opposite of God (unity consciousness) and as the origin of the devil mythos (separation consciousness). This painting was inspired by a particular ego annihilating tryptamine encounter that brought me into a lucidly clear dialogue with this area of the collective consciousness. By visually administering healing to the aspects of myself that still held onto the belief in separation from the source of All That Is, I accessed the core blueprint of perfection at the center of my being. Through this experience, I realized that there is no ‘Other’, and all source of pain and anxiety were due to this separation from God source within. The form this entity beheld morphed into the complete resolution of the dualities it represented and revealed itself an angelic ally residing eternally in my heart center. Upon further research into the history of this figure I found that the reversal of his name, Baphomet - tem.O.H.P.Ab broke down into a Latin interpretation - Templi Ominum Hominum Pacis Abbas which means “the temple to the father of peace to all beings”. This piece is therefore intended as a prayer to neutralize the spell that this figure continues to hold itself in the collective consciousness. As there is no separation between myself and the rest of creation, all is accessible through the universal mainframe of the One Heart.’ “
