So, not considering art to be one exclusive and independent genre as contemporary people think, but how can each of us train ourselves in the way that allows us to become close to God? Though I do not like the word "train," how can each of us make an effort to the way to close to God? Also, either in its attitude or receiving sensitivity, how can it be evolved and developed to such a high level? And in terms of the technique of its expression, how can it continue in the way of self-practicing without being idle? Of course, if the senses receive so much, it would be of no use if there is no technique to express it. In that sense, self practicing by every day's effort is very important. But there are persons who are only good at the technique. Yes, even in music, painting, or writing or the like. For example, there may be a woman who certainly sings a song very well, though. She graduated from a music school, and sings very well. She graduated from a painting school, and paints well. Yet, her paintings are not exciting. Her songs are dull. That happens, doesn't it? But there is such a singer. Though she cannot sing right in tune well, her song makes me really excited. Such a person is the one who could embrace firmly the important part of the sensitivity and what love is to be. Though they might be very immature expressive means, they seize the human minds through those means. Such singers might have been much more splendid if they mastered more complete skills. Then which is important: the complete method and skill, or the spirit to express it? Of course, neither can be missed anyway. However, if we put a priority on something, it should be the heart. Sensitivity has the priority. The importance lies in how much one embraces love as the heart, the mind of openness, as the mind of sending gratitude to God, as the mind of thanks as the expressive media of love as the self being the children of God, each one of us wants to share it by receiving and then sending out love to many people, wants to share the wish of thanks with them. It happens to be a self-trained singing voice, composing a music, painting, writing a sentence, or an architecture as an expressive form of God, which is going to influence many people. It is truly a valuable work of art. It is a truly valuable artist. In our world, so it is appreciated. As El-Ranty told us a while ago, if it is good enough simply for entertainment or stimulation, it would be interesting for many people to set out hell-like things rather than heaven-like things. The border between being just interesting and making a deep impression truly from the heart or from the bottom of heart lies in not dealing with such scandalous matters thoroughly, but being capable of perceiving firmly by oneself what God is. A true artist in the true sense is someone who has understood what ones own mission is, sensing the own self firmly, and having the passion to live in ones own mission. And what we would call the essence of something is an expressive form of God. The same is true of philosophers. It is not only for the artists. Everything exists as an expressive form of love of God. If it is a scholar, a mother and a father nurturing children, every person is so. Everybody is an expressive form of God. They have been made alive under the thanks to God. We are the children of God in the seven color of rays created by God. Only those fundamentals which are based on the fundamentals told by El-Ranty in this time are going to have universality. The others, such as of hell-like vibration or scandalous, are only temporal matter. Manu Channeling message by Amarie “Messages to the Children of God in the Space Age”(Kindle) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 【Manu】 Manu is a legendary character who compiled "the Code of Manu" in the ancient India. In the Code of Manu, there are descriptions from the creation heaven and earth of the basis of Hinduism, to the morality of every day life, regulations of ceremonies and conventions in regard to behavior. He took the similar part to Noah in a flood myth, so he may be called as "the progenitor of the human race". There is a view the word "man (human)" in English is derived from "manu (Manu)". In the age of Lemuria, he lived as a leader named Margarit, and built the civilization centered by art. In the heaven, his role is the ray of green indicating nature and harmony, and delegating in the mission of art and racial problems. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
