Unfolding Sculpture: Hidden Variables and Cosmic Truths
“The essence of sculpture is for me the perception of space; the continuum of our existence.” -Isamu Noguchi
“Space is not empty, it is full, and it is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.”-David Bohm
The Winter Solstice 2020 launch of Unfolding Sculpture is dedicated to Social Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Harriet Lewis and Sculptors Andy Goldsworthy, Jaume Plensa, John Lopez, Lionel Smit, Pablo Atchugarry, Brett Murray and Patrick Dougherty whose works resonate among the trees and glacial boulders of Lewis’ Alnoba, Kennsington, NH.
As the pandemic pounded human psyche adjusts to new levels of uncertainty and challenge which demand the rebalancing of what has become an unsustainable culture and Earth, Goudreault continues to create works that draw the viewer into a conception of their own vastness and unfathomed potential. In her hybrid medium of photography and what she terms perceptive sculpture, Goudreault’s latest collection, Unfolding Sculpture, crosses the known boundaries of prominent 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 both natural and human made forms 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 in the nature of all forms, and especially 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.”
A New Baseline of Human Perception
“We are now entering a phase of human evolution that can only progress if we cultivate a much deeper level of attention and perception, whose focus is beyond that of the physical senses.” -Deborah Goudreault
“Unfolding Sculpture heralds a human transformation driven by more than external innovations and leaps in intellectual knowledge. It serves the advancement that comes from unfolding our awareness into a state where conditioned limitations are no longer the boundaries of potentiality, separateness is not exclusive, and forms are liberated to reflect more of their universally networked Energy and Intelligence.” -Deborah Goudreault
With Unfolding Sculpture, Goudreault continues to feed the innate longing of humanity to explore a reality that transcends ordinary physical sense perception, and to awaken the possibilities of a world where our potential energy and intelligence is not crippled by dogma, limiting belief systems, divisive absolutes and exclusive separateness. At a time when the Earth may feel dark and divided, and we are all laboring very hard to give birth to the next phase of human advancement, Unfolding Sculpture is a call to let life unfold now into its more unlimited and wholly harmonized totality, and for each of us to be its unfolding. “Let us recognize”, says Goudreault, “that we are like these sculptures, not permanent physical forms of limited dimension, but a starting point of infinite experience; a multidimensional form evolving as part of a universally networked existence. Let these impressions help us discover with greater confidence that we are what holds fast and also breaches the barrier of physical creation; that within us is the power to unite that which is bound with that which is boundless, to bridge the abstract and the concrete, the material and the immaterial, the practical and the transcendental, as we seek to create a more unlimited existence on Earth.”
Goudreault’s impressions are ever an invitation to join her on this subtle bridge between the tangible and the intangible, and to begin to discover for ourselves that the network connecting the known to the greater possibilities of the unknown is already built, we just need to open the gateway in ourselves. Flowing from a meditative comprehension and intuitive apprehension of forms that connects with the supra-mundane in the familiar, the essence of her practice, she says is “the withdrawal of the physical senses.” “Rather than observing objects and subjects, I merge into that space where forms transcend their finite frames and an awareness of a more universal Energy and Intelligence or Presence resonating in Nature and all matter may be felt. Where that Energy is strong enough to draw my inner attention, and focus the mind beyond the limits of physical perception, a more subtle dimension opens; a bridge between what is considered the self and the other, the physical and the non-physical, measurable mass and emptiness, and there I make an image.” With Unfolding Sculpture and every new exposure to Goudreault’s perception and images, this unknown dimension veiled beneath the surface and so often blocked by fear and illusion; this subtle interface where more unlimited potentiality awaits us becomes, for all its wild unfamiliarity, safe, beautiful, and more accessible.
“Opening new doors of perception is integral to opening more advanced levels of awareness and potential,” says Goudreault, and her impressions continue to establish a new baseline of human perception. When asked to expand her thoughts on imagery, perception and human advancement, she adds, “Physical space exploration and its unknown possibilities can be very exciting, but I endeavor to take viewers beyond physical space and surface realities to an even more potentiating realm; unfolding more of what exists and connects us within the subtle space of physical forms including our own. We are already programmed for augmented reality within the totality of the self, we are just more used to reaching outside than inside the self for upgrades. Yes, that pattern of external demand creates valuable markets for products and services, but to excel in a regenerated and reharmonized Earth, new art, science and technologies that serve rather than preempt or block the inner evolution of our human potential are essential. Disruption of our known patterns, familiar forms, and the revenue streams associated with them is what we fear most but moving through the fear that keeps us attached to past patterns is exactly what is required for humanity to advance. Our shared human task is not only to survive the tests of this time, but to rise above the perceived limits of Nature and the nature of the self, and to move beyond the seemingly insurmountable by surmounting those patterns and physical sensory limits which no longer serve our individual and collective evolution. There is no perfect leader, committee, or outer technology that will carry humanity forward from this point. We are each a critical part of building the balance and harmonizing interdependence that will heal and advance humanity and Earth. We are each a unique part of evolving an intelligent awareness and cooperative collective vision as a stabilizing platform for developing future excellence.”
“The pandemic and the weaknesses it exposed has magnified our intolerance of a world defined by past limits and restrictions. We are all realizing that the power we seek lies in the unknown not the known. We typically think of forms as finite; forms in nature and especially human-made forms as having exclusively separate, fixed dimensions and capacity, so how do we transcend those frames responsibly and sustainably, how do we keep refining the mind and expanding and evolving our perception while our physical travel remains bound? Is becoming online information super-surfers enough? One way is from the inside out. I have practiced meditation for decades and encourage everyone to find some practice of meditation they can connect with and commit to. A shift in awareness may or may not happen overnight, but given the pressures of this time even having meditative tools that deepen our connection to the breath and develop mental focus and stability is invaluable. Another effective way is from the outside in, through the images and impressions we choose to engage and surround ourselves with. The images we are exposed to on-line or in our living and working environments affect us, whether consciously or unconsciously, in powerful ways. They either reinforce the limits of the past or dissolve them; block the wealth of unknown Energies and Intelligence networked beyond the surface of Nature and the self or refine our desire to access them. We can choose to incorporate art in our lives that reinforces our established walls of thought and perception or that which expands the dimensions of the spaces we inhabit and clears our minds’ inner walls of self-illusion, self-protection and self-confinement. When we consciously choose to elevate our spaces with images whose frequency challenges and refines how and what we see, especially in conjunction with a meditative practice, we make the mind and any environment we inhabit a space of new creation and new life. I agree with science that our ability to heal, harmonize and excel now and in the future depends on what we discover about the deeper, subtle nature of phenomena, but we cannot afford to sit back and leave it all up to advancing particle accelerators and technologically enhanced physical senses. Opening new doors of perception within; accessing and refining inner directed perceptive faculties as well as our physical senses is critical to evolving our collective awareness and establishing the foundation for a more harmonized and potentiated experience of Nature and the self.”
“Making art” says Goudreault, “is a way of freeing and evolving my own experience and perception, but sharing Unfolding Sculpture as an exploration of the subtle dimension of matter and the structure of its higher octave vibrations is to free the minds of others to become co-creators of a more pure and potentiated reality. A reality comprised not just of separate objects and subjects but a multidimensional totality where a network of universally networked Energy and Intelligence connects us to each other and a Nature of infinitely evolving life and forms.” For all those lost in pandemic period uncertainties and clinging to the past, her images and words inspire a conscious choice to unbind our eyes and our minds from their conditioned limits and light a path for us, through Nature and the potential of our own nature, to walk beyond the known. If humanity is innately wired for more harmonized, infinitely empowered interdependence, in experiencing Goudreault’s images, we may just find our minds’ doors opening to that potential.
When Mediums Merge: Physical and Perceptive Sculpture
“My practice of perceptive sculpture does not create or represent a static object or fixed form, projecting instead what is a portal into a vital field of living frequencies and infinitely evolving expressions of cosmic Energy and Intelligence.”-Deborah Goudreault
“The abstract ideas and energies concentrated in bodies of metal, stone, and wood by the physical sculptor I free again from gravity, finite dimensions and practical time; unbinding the subtle aspects necessarily obscured in dense physical form. It is a practice which serves to reveal more of the totality beyond the physically sensed surface of objects and a more complete understanding of the multidimensional, universally networked nature of all forms; natural and human-made, including the self.” -Deborah Goudreault
Like physical sculpture, Goudreault’s hybrid practice of perceptive sculpture and photography deals with space, gravity, the laws of Nature and how to transcend them. Her images, she says, “are not meant to be viewed like a painting or traditional photograph. They are created to be entered into, so we may pass the threshold of ordinary physical and emotional responses and enter more deeply into the self. Sculpture is commonly interpreted as an idea in form that brings the space surrounding it to life, but I see it from an opposite perspective. Forms have recognized mass and properties, but space also has an element of subtle energetic mass. There would be no form if not for the Energy and Intelligence networked in the subtle living element of space. What is often considered negative space I perceive as the essential womb of creation, where layered and veiled within what we know as the physical dimension of matter, chains of less and less dense and more energetically charged and potentiated worlds evolve and resonate. The negative space does not exist because of the boundaries of the form, rather the form is born of and exists by virtue of the boundless Energy and Intelligence networked throughout the matrix of universal space. This difference in awareness makes sculpture either an art of conditioned physical senses and abstract imagination or an art of intuitive receptivity and inner perception. One sustains the veil of matter and one frees it in an experience of greater totality.”
The ideal sculpture as described by Isamu Noguchi is “an idea without hindrance born into space.” “In working with the material, there will always be some hindrance,” says Goudreault, “but the challenge of the physical sculptor and even more so in my own practice as a perceptive sculptor is to transcend the limits of finite matter and conditioned form, free our minds from the bonds of surface reality, and make available a new space of human potentiality. In every sculptor’s translation of universal ideas into form whether physical or perceptive, is an opportunity to create an experience that preserves some degree of union with matter’s innately networked Cosmic Energy and Intelligence and offer a more wholly integrated expression of its unbound totality. The non-physical qualities of matter; its root Energy and Intelligence cannot be separated from the physical qualities of the sculpted form but will vary in their relative proportions. While some of its totality is contained and radiates in the works of the greatest physical Sculptors, much must be left obscured in the process of concentrating it to be visible to the physical senses. What physical sculpture gains in longevity, it must necessarily sacrifice in the depth of subtle frequency and dimension it is able to translate, the balance of its totality remaining present yet obscured and unexpressed.” In Goudreault’s Unfolding Sculpture, like most of her work, we find the reverse objective; a practice in which she necessarily sacrifices the dense surfaces of familiar forms to reveal something of the organization of their subtle mass; the space where Energy and Intelligence move unbound in a universal network of unfathomed creativity, power, frequency and Presence. As science accelerates its push to access subnuclear territory, features within the unknown nature of phenomena, and an omnipresent realty that shatters the boundaries of past knowledge, Goudreault too responds to this ray of cosmic purpose, drawn by a similar desire and curiosity to give tangible expression to what are yet theoretical constructs and a rising subconscious awareness that a more potentiated order and animation of space exists. “While few may see what manifests in a hadron collider experiment, my work exists so more people will have an opportunity to feel life open beyond the limits of the past., where all forms are variously evolved expressions of living Presence, and universally networked Energy and Intelligence; the human, the bird, the tree, the stone, the Earth, the light of a distant star, and human created forms like sculpture, architecture, and even technologies are part of one Life moving through the space of every form, in unending waves; one Consciousness continuously moving through a sea of cosmic Sound that gives birth to Light, concentrated into increasingly dense elements and eventually manifests as the physically sensible energy we know as matter and form
“Consciously or unconsciously, the physical sculptor endeavors to mentally draw energy and intelligence out of space and explore a connection to that same cosmic spark in some physical medium where the immaterial impression may be more clearly embodied and resonate. The transmission and release from the Sculptor’s mind through disciplined creative endeavor is synchronous with the release of the sculpted form in the material medium because the reality is a shared one. The sculptor has expanded the boundaries of mind to encompass the metal, wood or stone, and the idea formed in the mind as thought then takes concrete form in the chosen medium. Today this relationship is further expanded to include the programmed intelligence of robotic carving assistants, but robotics can only reach as far as the physical. True sculpture is more than a beautiful projection of an idea onto a physical medium, as beauty itself is subjective and ever changing with the nature of the mind. It is more than forcing a perfect form to manifest where it did not previously exist. The true sculptor does not just impress any imagined idea upon physical matter but seeks to convey an experience of something boundless within the finite, and first that experience must happen within the Artist, through some discovery of that which is Infinite in the self. The physical sculptors I most relate to, like Arp, Brancusi and Noguchi pushed the boundaries of art because they pushed the conditioned boundaries of the space of the self, delivering an experience in form that is not a repetition of the known or some superficial distortion of it, but a perception of what lies beyond it. It is an alchemy of mind not just an alchemy of matter that is required of sculpture and increasingly in this age, it is also an understanding of the inner technology of being that one must engage for any outer technological tools to serve the creation of an art that is not just faster, bigger and more perfect, but an evolute of evolving consciousness and an empowered instrument of human advancement.”
Where Two Poles of Truth Meet
“In every form is the essence of all form and a connection to all dimensions of being. Even within what we consider purely physical and finite, there lies an integral subtle dimension where the infinite power of universally networked Energy and Intelligence waits to be accessed, indirectly through Nature and directly in the self. Working only externally on a physical level, even as technological and AI capabilities advance at increasing rates, will not be enough to evolve a healthy, harmonized and sustainable life on Earth. What we discover about our innately networked human totality and how to refine and navigate all dimensions of matter including the self will determine our potentiality.” -Deborah Goudreault
Every earnest philosopher, scientist and priest has found him or herself on one or the other side of the apparent duality of the finite and the infinite, the physical and the spiritual, the material and immaterial and sought an answer to resolve it. Art too has either represented and reinforced a finite reality of known material forms and events in works that magnify our emotions or desires within that reality or offered an escape from the finite into a more unlimited abstract or imagined virtual reality. However, such expressions of creativity Goudreault adds, “continue to lock our minds in conditioned half-truths, and the belief that the finite and infinite, the concrete and abstract, the world of ideas and the world of forms, are exclusively separate realities.” As the surface conditions on Earth become more complex and critical, we naturally feel a growing desire to connect what we perceive as finite with a more unlimited totality and power. How to let physical forms be physical and acknowledge there is an aspect of matter which is finite, but also go deeper, remains at the center of both Goudreault’s meditative and creative practices. Despite their seeming mutual exclusivity, Goudreault portrays an already connected totality, where we need only seek to open the interface to that totality within the self to uncover a dimension of unexpressed potentiality ever present yet veiled in every physical form in Nature, and most accessibly in our own. Through her perception of the subtle dimensions of matter and the inseparably networked existence underlying our physically sensed world of separate forms, she has conceived an art of experience that transcends past limits and turns a seeming paradox into the substance of actual transformation and new human potential.
When asked about how she navigates the subtle and physical dimensions of her experience, Goudreault replied, “I work with physical nature as the threshold of my creative process, always remembering and reflecting in my work that in reaching beyond surface forms we must do so in a way that does not deny the existence or significance of physical nature, and holds in harmony two poles of truth; an infinite totality and a finite, universally networked individuality; one born of an increasing awareness of the absolute and one that accepts the relative. While the universe is not its limited visible surface forms, it can only expand with the sensitivity of our perception and our inner capacity to access more of its totality and potential. We seek to intellectually understand the laws governing matter, force and mind, yet what will permanently elevate our future is learning to cultivate the mind’s capacity to neutralize the effects of natural laws, transcend the perceived limits of space-time, and how to change the mind’s vibration so it can witness one plane from another and move not just linearly through space, but from dense to increasingly subtle realms of matter and light.”
Goudreault continued saying, “We live on a planet and in a human culture which has allowed itself to be defined and limited by the material aspect of manifestation; locked in a practical concept of spacetime and the physical polarity of sun and moon, male and female, night and day, black and white, rich and poor, gay and straight, urban versus rural , north and south, East and West, old versus new, organic versus inorganic, us and them, democrats and republicans, Christian vs non-Christian, Muslim vs non-Muslim leading to an unending magnification of perceived separateness, competition, aggression and conflict. At the root of these constantly warring superficial opposites is a more fundamental polarity of matter and spirit, finite and infinite, seen and unseen. Uncovering where these seemingly exclusive opposites meet in a network of continuously evolving Energy and Intelligence within the subtle dimension of every form in Nature, including the self, will be to the future what technology has been to the present. How we establish conscious access to a subtle interfacing dimension in our field of existence that integrates our finite physical forms with their more infinitely potentiated totality and the elevated future we seek to create should be a primary focus of every discipline.”
When asked how an Artist can further this progress, Goudreault responded, “Science, art and religion are born of one stream of cosmic Energy and Intelligence, yet in a past where advancement was driven predominantly by a system of specialization, we divided them into separate disciplines. However, as we advance now to a new phase of human evolution, no one field as it is currently defined is capable of meeting the needs of the present or future. Even as science and technology continue to lead, it is the cross-pollination and fusing of work in each of these fields toward understanding of humanity’s universal interconnectedness and how networked Energy and Intelligence operates within Nature and the self that will necessarily re-define these pillars of human culture and experience. Quantum mechanics, especially Bohm’s contributions began the interdisciplinary blurring of these boundaries and the essential process of re-uniting them in ideas expressing a greater wholeness of being. Where science continues to dominate, it must not rest in the blindness of intellectual reason and physical sensory conditioning. An art that is more than documentation and entertainment must also realize its role in elevating awareness and refining the mind. Religion can no longer pretend it is the exclusive intermediary between the finite and the infinite, or that our universally networked nature is something we can only know by faith not by experience. And for technology to develop as a harmonizing rather than a disruptive force, what drives its development must begin to shift from a market demand for new products and a humanity bound to its perceived limits and the belief that AI is the empowering savior that will compensate for them, to that which supports the work of expanding our awareness of all dimensions of our existence. If we are to do more than survive through this period of global transition, more resources need to be redirected toward accessing and integrating our human totality, and helping individuals open that interface within themselves to an innate network of more unlimited Energy, Intelligence and ability. What is demanded of art and what I demand of myself is the practice of that which prepares humanity to let go of what no longer serves us; an art that, even when our human identity and planet are swirling in a vortex of transformation there is no turning back from, gives us some new grounding in what is unknown and helps us navigate external uncertainty with clarity, confidence and a mind willing to open more of its innate possibilities.”
With Unfolding Sculpture, Goudreault steps farther into an unseen but intuitively felt quantum world that draws conditioned objects out of their known forms and exposes their hidden variables, not by mechanically analyzing them but by revealing what she perceives as organic extracts of Nature’s multidimensional universally networked totality. Hers is a metaphysical naturalism and convergent realism where particles are not just particles, forms are more than physical matter, humans are not exclusively separate and finite, and all Nature including the self exists as a multidimensional expression of one universally networked Energy and Intelligence. Each time she withdraws her outer senses and shifts the focus of her perception, it is to translate an experience of that quantum existence as fundamental to Nature, the nature of who we are and our course of evolving Consciousness.
Echoes of Arp, Brancusi, and Einstein
While developing Unfolding Sculpture, Goudreault would often think about Sculptor, Constantin Brancusi’s photographic images and the connection she felt between the two practices and shared the following. “About his photography, Brancusi is quoted as saying that it was “to capture the soul of his sculptures”. I wondered if in his own way he too was seeking to reveal more of the totality and continuum of a form’s existence, and found the same unique capacity in photography as I had; a relationship to light and time that served to reconnect a sculpture with its source Energy and Intelligence, or what he deemed its ‘soul’. Little rings truer in my mind than Brancusi’s comments, “when you see God everywhere, that divinity remains in your work” and “what is real is not the appearance, but the essence of things”. I imagined in his practice of sculpture and photography, he too may have focused his mind not on himself or any known thing, but on a more etheric plane, where ideas radiate from a sea of cosmic Intelligence and follow a network of elemental energies into various densities and dimensions of presence and form. Sometimes I felt we were each prepared to work on a continuation of the same canvas; an open field of evolving awareness that brings to light more of the hidden variables of Nature and the self; each equipped with the mental freedom, courage and inner perception to see through that which separates physically sensible forms from their multidimensional totality.
My work continues to evolve as a practice of seeing beyond surface forms and events, sensing the omnipresent generating, organizing and distributing forces of the universe in all that exists. Like Brancusi, I believe we must not stop our experience and understanding of either outer forms or the self at the surface level, and neither can our creative efforts stop there. It is an art not born of instinct, imagination or even passion, that I pursue, but one that rises from a deep and unending desire to evolve my experience of the totality of Nature and the self and express the highest frequency energy, intelligence, and most unlimited universal ideas I can grasp. It demands a will not satisfied by what is known, an unconditioned perception which makes no conclusions, and the refined ability to discern that which serves to challenge and advance humanity. I like to think Brancusi would have agreed.”
Like Jean Arp facing a world on the brink of annihilation, Goudreault has spent decades preparing an art that clears an alternate path beyond the upheaval that now marks our outer lives. She rejects images that anchor us in surface forms and events, the conditioning of the past, and stories which only strengthen humanity’s belief that we are somehow separate, above, in competition with or the enemy of Nature and each other. Instead, her perspective is a correlate of the new paradigms of emerging science and echoes the awareness artists like Arp endeavored to bring to Light. People ordinarily look at something and understand it either as an abstract, unformed expression of an intellectual idea or as a finite form in comparison to something they already know. Goudreault’s work, like Arp’s, lives between the known concrete and the abstract, the physical and the causal, in a dimension that opens us to new evolutions and new potentialities as part of a universal network of unlimited Energy and Intelligence. Born through an intuitive receptivity to the subtle dimensions of matter beyond the surface of known objects and events; Goudreault’s often anthropomorphic forms of presence, primordial forces, and networked energy and intelligence translate the vitality and unfathomed potentiality of Nature and the self where evolution moves unlimited and Consciousness rises into fuller expression. They are not intended to undermine existing culture and mental conditioning, but to free the mind to evolve beyond the borderland of the concrete and the limits of exclusive duality.
“Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labelled as “conceptual necessities”, a priori situations, etc. The road to scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.” -Albert Einstein
Long inspired by Einstein’s criticism of concrete physical sensory derived facts, Goudreault shares her own neuroscience related thoughts on why art that helps us kick the duality habit and the limits of the concrete is relevant on a physical as well as subtle energetic level. “We know at our present level of mass conditioning that the brain is more synchronized and integrated in concrete processing (sensing that which has clear reference to a material object) than abstract verbal or visual processing. It is our access to non-sensory conditioned input and our ability to organize abstract imagery, ideas and concepts, however, that pushes our intellectual, artistic, scientific and spiritual advancement. So, art and other practices that evolve a new level of receptivity and processing where the physical body and brain’s ‘concreteness’ response is no longer our most efficient mode of operation are especially valuable as conductors of future progress. The impressions I am translating are more than just interesting reinterpretations of known physical forms. On a content level, my work strips away the old surface narrative and expected visuals, like abstraction but leaves indicators of concrete nature intact so even if the imagery is unfamiliar, in relation to one’s personal experience, it will connect with our innate programming gathered over eons of human history and we will make unconscious sense of it in a way that expands the patterned reach of our understanding. I often talk about their subtle energetic effects, but on a purely physical level, where their unbound forms reflect a dimension between the material and the immaterial, they introduce an experience that reinforces pathways between the concrete and abstract areas of function in the brain, activating neural crossroads that will eventually be found to increase brain synchronization and functional connectivity beyond that of concrete input alone, and far greater than abstract input alone. Where they challenge conditioned preconceptions of Nature and deprive the concrete of its excessive authority, they may initially be less comfortable than familiar impressions of surface forms and events, but they resonate another kind of power and beauty that will be increasingly sought by humanity as we regenerate and redefine ourselves and Earth. It is a quality that provokes questions, sparks a chain of active problem solving, and opens minds no longer content with what is known to turn inward, to synchronize with a flow of more unbound Energy and Intelligence, and navigate more complex mental states. The Art I create is still an external stimulus, and permanent advancement requires self-initiated development practices as well, but beyond their artistic value, Light Mind Images are preparing us for expanded awareness, and jumpstarting our capacity to anchor, manifest and experience higher quantum ideas in physical reality where concepts like holism, transcendental time, inter-dimensional transit, cosmic connectivity, vibrational healing and maintenance, non-material energy interfaces, and a universally networked human totality of unlimited potential are no longer the domain of a few geniuses but natural features of mass society.”
At a time when the ego’s unreasonable desire to separate from and assume authority over Nature is effecting increasingly devastating global consequences, and technology has become the exclusive measure of all things, Goudreault gives us tangible access to a dimension in material forms where the infinite and the finite meet, not to prove a thesis, but to re-ignite humanity’s desire to dive deeper into the subtle network and continually evolving potentiality of Nature and the nature of the self. Each work is a new lens for exploring the challenges and possibilities of the present, and a key to activating, integrating, and evolving a greater human totality where the physical and nonphysical dimensions of Nature, the self and all human-made forms are integrated and unbound to realize quantum leaps of progress in both individual and collective human advancement. “It may be advantageous to surrender control of our cars to AI,” remarks Goudreault, “but they are objects, and to remain enslaved to our current concept of a limited human identity, as if we too are only finite objects, is to further devolve and destabilize an already imbalanced humanity and Earth.” Goudreault asserts, “Where we have placed all hope in outer technologies and have yet to understand the network and energy interface of own inner technology and how to integrate all dimensions of the self, we fail ourselves and the future of all humanity. It is in uncovering our essential technology within and refining a perception that transcends our long conditioned limits that we will accelerate our advancement in every field of endeavor, and establish a more wholly integrated human identity capable of rebalancing and harmonizing the artificial and the organic in a way that elevates both and serves all. It is a vital step that cannot be ignored or delayed…”
What’s Next
As we peer into the void of loss left by the pandemic and acknowledge an Earth and humanity whose survival and advancement demands a new, more unlimited framework of collectively not competitively shared awareness, new questions necessarily follow. How do we evolve our access to a more potentiated multidimensional matrix for healing, rebalancing and harmonization? How do we expand our experience of Nature and what it means to be human in an age of advancing technology, and how do we navigate and excel in a reality where we are inseparably connected to each other, Nature and all existence? For all the minds seeking to unfold from their cocoons of conditioned thought and finite perception into radiant expressions of more unlimited Consciousness, Goudreault’s vision is a tunnel through which all the universe passes and merges, and leads us toward pathways of hidden potentiality and our own minds’ capacity to transcend the limits of an exclusively separate, physical reality. As waves of global uncertainty continue to wash over us, we find one thing remains inextinguishable and certain; however far the space of Goudreault’s images takes each of us, and whatever happens when we get there, it will be a journey of discovering more of who we are and expanding our knowledge of the network of Nature in which we exist. It will ignite in us a desire to rise as one humanity and fill the same air that has become so threatening with seeds of unfathomed possibility. May we all continue to be unfolded by the essence of her art into greater Light, awareness and potential.
