Visualizing- A blessing and a Curse

Curse:  Seeing and Identifying with Static Imagery- We loose our Capacities

Cause:

You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor any manner of likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them

Effect:

Psalm 115:14.-8   “Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

They have ears, but they hear not;

Noses have they, but they smell not;

They have hands, but they handle not;

Feet have they, but they walk not;

Neither speak they with their throat.

They that make them shall be like unto them;

Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

A Blessing Visualizing Dynamic Imagery  Each of Us a Unique artist

Created with Unique Potential:

“if a man strikes many coins from one mold, they all resemble one another, but the King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He, made each man in the image of Adam, and yet not one of them resembles his fellow..”

Sanhedrin 37a:13-15

If we create life affirming art forms around us

We  have mouths, and  speak 

Eyes have we, and   see ;

We have ears, and hear;

Noses have we, and smell ;

We have hands, and handle;

Feet have we, and walk ;

Speak we with our throats.
