The Burning Bush


"TREE OF LIFE". 1986. Oil on canvas.

      The painting depicts an sypherotic system ofhierarchic beings, representing ten levels of the spiritial staircase. Every image is, to a certain extent, a documentary evidence of their existence and the author himself is a living witness of it. These personifications embody a definite tchakra, i.e. they are governing it in the hierarchic Body. The so-called Spiritual Triade � the Rising Sequence of Levels � is as follows (fragments):
1) Mental centre � The Angel of Sun;
2) Throat centre � Venus, Mother of Stone
3) The Archistrategist with a sword � Mercury;
4) Heart � the Sun � centre of the system
5) Mother of Light � Jupiter
6) Master Morya � Mars
7) Mother of the Lightning (Magdalene, loved by God) � Uranus
8) The Person of Saturn
9) Serafim � Neptune.
