In her hybrid medium of photography and what she terms perceptive sculpture, Goudreault’s latest collection, Unfolding Sculpture, crosses the known boundaries of established sculptors’ physical forms, finite space, and practical time to unfold more unlimited dimensions of their deeper, transcendental nature. Her refined, super-sensory artistic practice translates an experience, not born of imagination, physical sensory based logic or reason, rather a direct inner awareness and perception that penetrates the familiar surface nature of phenomena. With images that project not just the idea but the energy of that expanded reality, Goudreault opens a door to a more subtle dimension of matter and invites us into a more unlimited experience of Nature and the self. Neither wholly concrete or abstract, Unfolding Sculpture challenges boundaries, strengthens our will and courage to shed the limits of our physical senses, and opens our minds beyond preconception and memory, where weightless and transfused by Light we begin to conceive of all life as an inseparable part of a more universally networked totality. An unexpected and unprecedented stream of etherically energized impressions, Unfolding Sculpture turns art and the creative mind toward its highest purpose; to inspire an upward path of discovery that uncovers our unlimited human capacity to self-evolve, and harmonize and upgrade our connection to Earth, each other and all existence. “Fear may block the way, insecurity may block the way, pure reason too,” says Goudreault, “but there is a dimension of Nature and the self where all the answers, Energy and Intelligence we seek exists, waiting for us to clear the path of their transmission. My practice and images reach into that space, challenge and loosen our attachments to what we know, and invoke our capacity to more freely discover and fearlessly and successfully navigate the power and potential of a greater human totality.”

“I was the first to enter, without a flashlight, magnetized by the unknown form waiting in silent stillness within. I thought it would be a vast cavernous chamber, but in the dark womblike space of what most would consider inanimate stone, I felt an unanticipated surge of life, and realized this sculpture is not only about artfully enshrining a boulder with masterful execution, but giving it a place of reverence that recognizes, and magnifies the cosmic currents within its form as both part of a living Earth and who we are. Those who enter or stand at its opening, are given more than a curious or entertaining manmade house of stone. In an experience beyond what you would ordinarily attribute to either glacial boulders or caves, Goldsworthy has given us a space to feel the precious stores of Earth’s memory and the timeless waves of cosmic Intelligence resonating in that ancient glacial boulder. He has not entombed it, rather freed its aliveness and Consciousness for all who will make themselves subtle enough to listen to its presence as an enduring transmission of universal wisdom….” - Deborah Goudreault

Nicholas Roerich’s paintings nurtured the relationship between meditative mind and creative expression early on in Light Mind Images Founder and visionary Artist Deborah Goudreault’s life, and the imprint they made continues to kindle flames of courage and certainty as she follows an unwavering path of evolving awareness. Without intentionally tracing Roerich’s steps, she was guided along a similar trajectory, gradually expanding both her meditative discipline and perception of the subtle dimensions of Nature and the self.

READ ON for excerpts from her recent letters to Gvido Trepsa, Museum Director at the Roerich Museum, New York, NY. sent as the second wave of the pandemic surfaced, and forest fires, political chaos and echoes of violent conflict and economic uncertainty continued to overshadow us. Here, rather than reflecting this storm of surface events, Goudreault remains focused on the role of art and her own evolving practice and medium as an instrument of transformation, sharing her gratitude and thoughts with Trepsa “not just for managing an historic archive of Roerich’s paintings and writings, but for protecting a stream of pure and ever vibrant Light in the legacy of someone who endeavored to know himself and all humanity as rays of endlessly evolving Consciousness and attainment.” This she said, we all needed to be reminded of today.

When Gods Descend is Deborah Goudreault’s bold and hopeful vision of the future evolution of humanity. In her first Pandemic period collection, Goudreault continues work in her hybrid medium of photography and what she calls perceptive sculpture. Concentrating an unfathomed Light of revelatory truth-seeing and force into forms, she projects an innate power of cosmic Energy and Intelligence for our hearts, minds and bodies to work out and apply as a dynamism of new life at a time of perilous global challenge and incertitude. When everyone is questioning where we are going and what is our potential for advancing beyond the conditioned patterns and preconceptions of our past and present, Goudreault’s When Gods Descend charges us with lightning flashes of new awareness and potentiality that initiate us in an experience beyond the limits of our surface conflicts and events; one that lays a foundation for the inner refinement of mind and perception that is essential not only to stable advancement, but a more just and wholly harmonized self and collectively shared existence.

“…Now from our vantage atop a great mountain of loss, we stand above the clouds of our illusions, illusions sacrificed with the hard-won grace of forced solitude. May your fire now meet us in the clearer air of the mind as it was always intended, to freely burn through our walls of fear and doubt, to purify our darkness, transform our misperception, energize our fields of vitality, and awaken awareness of our connection to all life. May your rays move unimpeded in the seven rivers of the self; over the rocks of our dense physical forms, through the waters of feeling, through the currents of breath, through the streams of intellect and inspiration, beyond all limits of the past and present, until there is nothing left but Light between us and the uncoiling reach of Consciousness.” -Deborah Goudreault

I have found in my experience as an Artist and meditator that while we may appear separate and finite on the surface, and our physical senses keep us focused on surface qualities and familiar forms, the answers and potential we seek lie beneath the surface, in evolving an inner perception of the subtle dimensions of Nature and the self and realizing a tangible connection to our true nature as universally networked beings. It is as Martin Luther King Jr. described decades ago, that “All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the inter-related structure of reality.” It has taken time for our collective minds to grasp and understand this idea as an inescapable universal law, not just spiritual philosophy or beautiful rhetoric, but now conditions give us no choice, and we are charged with answering the question of how to access and navigate the subtle reality of that network. There is much work to be done yet in educating ourselves about injustice, racism and oppression, our conscious and unconscious role in perpetuating these conditions, and how all humanity will benefit in overcoming them. Through a visual experience of unfamiliar form, Revelation Song challenges minds to open beyond our known dimensions and conditioned limits, and to explore who we are across the boundaries of the physical, in the subtle, unknown inner agencies of the self where untapped energies wait to unlock more unbiased and unbound cognition, feelings, and actions. -Deborah Goudreault

“Contemplating the subtle minimalist images in Eyes of Heaven, one finds an infinite space to transcend our past preconceptions and envision and nurture the seeds within the self of greater individual and collective awareness and responsibility. Each image is given as an inspiration to cultivate more open perception, hearts, and minds and, even when our stay at home orders are eased, to keep some time for exploring the inner dimensions of the self, unbinding the Light within, and bringing our part of a more unlimited network of Energy and Intelligence on-line. What we do and how we use each breath while we wait for science to develop Covid vaccines and treatments is just as critical as the research itself. The future we share depends not just on science or technological innovation, but how deeply we can “zoom” in on the unknown dimensions of our own selves and realize and fulfill our role as empowered contributors in transforming the circumstances which brought us to this point.” -Deborah Goudreault

“As my weeks of silent sheltering in place continue, I realize no place can shelter us from feeling the straining hearts of all humanity as we seek the inner and outer resources to rise together beyond our present limitations and suffering. Even though many of us remain physically apart from the world, we have the opportunity to observe within how inseparably entwined we are and appreciate the possibilities that may grow from greater awareness and understanding of this inner networked union and human totality. Today as numbers and cases continued to both rise and fall, words came out of my emptiness like gilded gifts of hope; an invocation to help strengthen and heal the world. Like a perfect ray of sun, it penetrated the “virus cloud” and reminded me that the creative forces of life remain intact and that we must all look deeper now within ourselves to find those rays of life and light and reflect them out onto the world. May you all be well, be fearless, be Light.“ - Deborah Goudreault

Written by Goudreault in 2017 as a “Song for Healing and Harmonizing Humanity and the Earth”, this was a message ahead of its time. Clearly it reads as a revelation of what was to come in this 2020 period of human challenge and transformation, but more than that…it planted ideas whose fruit would now be needed to feed the hearts and minds of a humanity separated from the life and people that once defined them; a humanity searching for new meaning and a vision of a future of greater possibility. In sharing this poem now Goudreault adds, “Regardless of how life appears on the surface and the painful shared loss of attachments, plans and patterns we are all experiencing and trying to process, now is not the time to give up on humanity or create more conflict and disharmony. It is a time to elevate and expand what it means to be human. I share this with my deepest love for all, that we may remain open, fearless, responsible and kind, and come through this having discovered new dimensions in a greater human totality and more harmonizing motives and unlimited potential within.”

Theirs was a careful process, austere in part due to limited resources, but also to an aesthetic free of the excessive frills and synthetic complexities so often misperceived as that which gives a space its beauty, power and sense of fulfilled purpose.  From years of farming the land, they knew the soil and landscape of the space as well as they knew themselves. They had learned to care for the earth that nourished them, and this barn was built with the same care. They saw the space of the land with their hearts, and that inner appreciation grounded their barn in a beautiful union of human work and nature. They rarely spoke while they worked, as if attuned to that silence which allows one to hear the sound of a space and its infinite dimensions, thresholds and transitions. They also seemed to intuitively know what few architects and builders grasp, that they were not only building a structure for its mathematical exactness, stability, innovative design and temporal function, but as a vessel which preserved an essence of the emptiness with which it now shared space. They seemed to understand without mentioning it that although on its surface it may be a barn, it must also stand to keep open a connection to a more universal totality rather than block or distract us from it. Within what contains space there is always the capacity to excel beyond its physical point; always the vortex openings where like a vacuum with a powerful center of gravity, we may be drawn toward a more refined Light and elevated consciousness and creativity. In the humble yet determined efforts of this barn raising, I felt this family found a way to embody a space of “emptiness” without diminishing its Light, and to preserve an entry to that void of infinite potentiality where freer from our conditioned tethering we are able to serve and respond more consistently to a universal network of Energy and Intelligence. At the very least, they were aware enough to feel a call to do so and courageous enough to try.

…I recognized that a life spent refining one’s awareness and inner perception; having the devotion and discipline to align one’s mind with the flow of creative energy and one’s heart with the Source of Light itself was the true art, and what was projected in my images was “its” reflection.  I did not cling to familiar subjects and objects in my work, and I did not cling to a limited human identity or conditioned definition of either matter or the self.  Within the finite limits of the physical, I continued to seek and discover a greater, more infinite totality, and I never felt more grateful for being given the passion not just to create, but to tangibly translate an experience of more unlimited potentiality…

Today most ideas live but for a moment in purity before losing their spark of truth and wisdom in material construction. It is rare to find that which is made to resonate for centuries as a transformational space of noble and universally elevating experience. But in the humble perfection of the Newport Tower, worn down to its base material structure, remains a teaching of how to mold our own darkness into Light, and to open the arches and portals which align us with a greater Force and Presence. Seeing how every careful stone, angle and line is set to reflect the mists of dawn and the radiance of cosmic light, we are reminded of our divine opportunity to continuously refine the living substance of the self and the privilege of being human.

Vortices of the Self continues Goudreault’s work of sharing impressions of what waits a few steps ahead and project an awareness whose resonance helps carry hearts and minds past any doubt and despondency that may arise in letting go of our past preconceptions and expanding our experience of the self.  They strengthen our aspiration and alleviate our trials and stumbling, penetrating them not with false feel good illusions but a Light of integrative understanding so that we may increasingly surrender the finite aspects of mind to a more unbound Energy and Intelligence waiting within. They magnify the inner call within each of us that is so often drowned out by the outer world; the Voice that is more than mental ego, intellect or emotion and connects us with our universally networked human totality.  Once again Goudreault delivers an experience where the duality of being either exclusively finite or infinite, flesh and blood or cosmic Consciousness ends and a new wholeness of being and unfathomed potential begins.

“I have shown many through the ages that the seed of Consciousness is in you, now humanity must find a path to sustainably self-activate and nurture it as the essence of your being. When the answers you seek are found not by looking solely in the physical dimension outside yourselves, but by learning to integrate all dimensions of your human totality, you will excel beyond your current limits. When your mass consumption of sacred plants is replaced by devotional inner sensory communion with us as reverberations of the infinite capacity, cosmic intelligence, and universally networked reality you yourselves embody, you will be free of your mind’s past conditioning. You will operate as the bridge between visible and invisible phenomena. No longer anchored by solar and lunar cycles, you will navigate long envisioned reaches of space, and through the elasticity of time enter luminous galaxies whose dimensions run through and beyond your own.” - D. Goudreault’s Messages of the Holy Flowers

May all who endeavor through art to carry Light into this transitional period of existence never doubt the effect of their efforts.  May we skillfully, fearlessly and courageously fulfill our responsibility not only to create, but to create in a way that expands humanity’s curiosity, awareness and capacity.  If we relate to ourselves properly, not clinging to our label as artists; if we are relentless in seeking to discover more of ourselves not just more about our art forms, what we create will be more than cultural entertainment. It will ease the fires of anxiety, neurosis, aggression and ignorance and facilitate a clearer perception of the phenomenal world, because we have practiced cultivating that state and opening our sense perception before we even pick up a brush or camera.

“A must read Artist’s story that will change how you look at life and the future!” While readers usually open these pages for fertile insight into Goudreault’s newest works, this entry takes us back to where the Artist’s work began to shift from sensitive editorial photographs of objects to impressions which translated form, innate energy and space as one convergent reality. In intimately small format rather than monumentally scaled images, POSTCARDS FROM PARIS reveals a selection of her never before shared ‘Early Works’; formative ‘Street’, architectural and landscape photographic studies made by the Artist in Paris, Mont Blanc, and Provence as well as the writings that emerged with them. It marks the awakening of her intensified inner visual exploration and visual projection of the relationship between material and immaterial aspects of being that would continue throughout her life. Nearly a decade after David McCullough’s book “The Greater Journey: Americans in  Paris” portrayed how intellectual and creative exchange in late 19th-early 20th century Paris refined visiting Americans’ expression in art, literature and science, POSTCARDS FROM PARIS offers a new chapter in the story of a still transformational Paris Light; a Light that continues to open the awareness and potentiate the abilities of those who come with a desire to elevate the human experience. It gives us access to the rich French laboratory of ideas and forms that fertilized Goudreault’s human and artistic transition, and set her creative course in the direction of images that would blur the lines of conditioned perception and loosen the boundaries of what we know of matter, nature and the self.

The Healing Field emerges over several months during which Goudreault’s passion for exploring Light and the convergent nature of life is tested by a complex injury, but not silenced.  In an unprecedented series of images, she surrenders the pain of the broken physical, her mystical kinship with glacial stone, lost forests and sacred waters, and leaves the control of the outer senses to follow a pathway through the elements of air and ether that bends the boundaries of time and crosses the borders of the physical self. Confined to her bed and supported by a daily practice of meditation, she enters a reality where space collapses in an inter-dimensional matrix of life which she theorizes we are operationally connected to through the energy vortices and electromagnetic field of the self. With a camera guided more by inner perception than outer sight, she encounters unfathomed faces, forces and luminous landscapes in the normally veiled substratum of visible Light whose purpose and presence seem dedicated not only to restoring what is broken in her physical body, but to making more whole her experience of our human totality as multidimensional, universally networked beings.  What begins as personal suffering takes on a universal context as Goudreault ultimately delivers a Collection which reassures us that the possibility of awakening new human potential and realizing a more aware vision of Nature and the self exists even amid the most degraded or debilitating conditions.
