Niscience Art

A painting of the Lord Jesus as He appeared in His etheric body immediately after His resurrection. . . .The look in His eyes reveals infinite sadness and compassion for the sufferings in the world.

During several years, I was guided to make a series of mosaic mandalas. This mandala is titled "Divine Mother," and it shows the Mother of the World looking down on the solar system -- the sun and the planets. Behind her are a company of angels who work with her. There are 88 angels in the mosaic.

The Angel on the left is the Angel of Grace. A devotee on the Path first comes under this great Angel and receives instruction through the heart initiation. The second Angel represents the recording Angel who presents him with his soul’s record. The Angel in the mosaic is holding the book of his soul’s record. Then the probationer ascends the stairs during the initiatory process and enters the great door to the higher world's mysteries and secrets. The third Angel opens the door of illumination through the portal between the eyebrow center, and initiates him into the temple of the soul where he makes union with God. The great Angel is handing the initiate the atom of illumination as a gift of God’s inheritance for him.

A mandala is the product of the soul's medallion. To create a perfect mandala, one must be at one with his soul's pulsation.

The process of making a mandala stills the emotions and the thoughts, and enables the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the superconscious mind to be at one, thus clearing the field of karma.

A mandala portraying the sun enables its creator to open the third eye within, setting up a process of light in the mind over-directed by the soul. In ancient times, the sun was thought to be the eye of God. Men worshipped the light proceeding from the eye of God.

Light is the vehicle for meditation and revelation. This mosaic mandala created by Jonathan Murro, portraying the sun's effulgence, is an initiatory seed-mantra disc....(continued below)

This painting, called "A Solar Archetype," describes the spherical Archetypal-Light action. The projection of light in color portrays the raying spherical light spectrum of the Christ. The blue form in the center portrays the Archetone or the Holy Ghost sounding His Vibrational action, setting free the great Archetypal Hum or Word of God.

To understand and to respond to the Archetypal System of instruction is to be free. We who walk the Path today are more than mystical novices in light. As scientists we must look to Jesus, the great Manifestor, who used the mighty Archetypal ideas and powers to manifest the Will and Mind of God to the world....(continued below)

Holy Ghost sounds the tone that men be stirred in acceptable times. Under the Will of God, man responds and moves. Christ reveals, when man matures. Charity under the Christ sees man yet in the state of maturing, rising, ascending. All shall rise under Him who came to lift men and to bring the Light. Holy Ghost as a Being and Comforter is known by the Father and Jesus as 'The Spirit of Truth.' Holy Ghost, working with the Alpha Hum and Omega Tones of the earth, animates all life with the Word or Spirit of Truth. Holy Ghost as the Spirit of Truth is in command of equation. Ho.,y Ghost auric vibrational tone sounds can erase or manifest. The Will of God uses the Holy-Ghost sounding to renew men and to decrease men....(continued below)

White: Spirit of God. 8-Pointed Star: Christ Jesus, sacrifice, renunciation, resurrection, illumination. Four chalices of grace: Prayer, Meditation, Fasting, Tithing. Holy Dew: Spirit of God pours into open chalices through mediation of Jesus. (Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 6, refers to each of the four chalices or four cornerstones of the higher life.

The symbol of a turtle seen in a vision or dream or used as an identifying figure in a color freshet means TO GO SLOW, or to maintain one's equilibrium and poise.

The turtle having another turtle on its back signifies that the one involved in the painting must share his spiritual life and instruction and must carry a lesser initiate or "turtle" on his back.

The path shaped in the form of a fleur-de-lis shows that one can be led to the left or the right in the slow path.

To the left, the field offers the temptation of relaxation and rest. To the right of the turtle, the pool of blue water indicates the indulgence of the emotions or the enticing immersions into emotional affairs.

Ahead of the path is a crossroad which the turtle or initiate must next encounter. The symbology indicates, however, that the turtle's sight is fixed on the centered point of light beyond the crossroads....(continued below)

This freshet painting by Jonathan Murro, painted in January, 1953, was one in a series of initiatory paintings.

The unusual facet of this painting was that Jonathan had had no previous metaphysical or philosophical training in this life. The painting relates to initiation into the Hall of Learning in which one must enter and gain mastery over two portals or doors to spiritual consciousness.

The black and white floor represents the great alternates that the initiate must master before entering triune doors of consciousness. The alternates represent the duality laws of the earth and the necessity to master the dark and light forces within his own nature. In certain teachings they are called the feminine and masculine principles, the yin and the yang. In the scientific world of the West these forces are called the dark and the light....(continued below)

Solomon: "A word aptly [fitly] spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." (Proverbs 25:11)

Black background - the one who asked Jesus the question - the after-death state to him is a black mystery.

The woman is virtuous, and withdrawn - standing on her own rights in Heaven, she sees each man as he thought he was.

The one in beige-pink was pious and thought he was an angel while living, so he thinks now he is an angel in heaven.

The next brother in blue, was a just man, kind.

The one to the right with upturned nose was a muscled body and a cunning mind.

The one with the white beard was a leader. He had a vaporous mentality, always curious and wondering about the man

over the hill, wasting his thoughts upon things he wondered about.

The woman is saying, "You didn’t ever know me - any of you!"

The one in the brown in the lower right was a virtuous man, helpful, a kind husband; he died too young to suit her....(continued below)

"THE ETHERIC JESUS"

-Ann Ree Colton-

A painting of the Lord Jesus as He appeared in His etheric body immediately after His resurrection. . . .The look in His eyes reveals infinite sadness and compassion for the sufferings in the world.

....A seed-mantra contemplation gives steadiness and control of the mind; it also opens creativity, and union with the soul....

The eleven diamond forms surrounding the golden spherical center of the mandala represent self-realization. Self-realization is correlated to the planet Uranus. Uranus rules all initiatory energy mastery. This mandala is an energy solar disc. It dissolves negativity, stimulates, and ignites.

To make a mandala and thereby make union with the soul's medallion and the soul's potential, one should use the Niscience technique of color freshets. Through regular practice of the use of color freshets, a mandala eventually is created, giving an inward satisfaction and freeing grace. One should not expect to make a perfect mandala in the beginning of his freshet creations. In time, his soul will lead him to perfect a coordinated, spherical, unifying color disc outpicturing his identity and soul.

....When we see Jesus and His miraculous powers within the frame of the Greater Archetypes, we can see that He truly did make the Word flesh in us through His mighty channeling of the Word of God. Since His coming, we are destined to increase our soul expansion and our minds' light, becoming more aware in each age of the Word through Him. With a great age such as we are now experiencing, we are looking beyond the storm of chaos, determining to hear His voice above all others speaking for the Word of God.

All souls of the earth, all creatures, and all sentient and non-sentient life are presently undergoing a synthesis receptivity from the great and Mighty Archetypes or the Word. The Word is once again being made flesh or manifested into the soul, mind, forms, names, and actions of man as it has never been seen in the earth before.

Through epochal and cyclical action, the Word during great intervals is sent into the world to receptive minds. Receptive souls respond; men rise to greater heights to create with their Creator -- God. It is the destiny of all that one must produce from what he is (spirit). The Word or Spirit of God during a greater synthesis archetypal time literally turns over the souls of men to compel them to do mighty and new creative things.

During a synthesis archetypal time, the Solar or Sun Archetypes also flow into the souls of men, uniting them with the Time-Spirit or the "Ancient of Days." All who have followed the light respond to this solar archetypal light. The Christ, the Son of God, makes Himself known to those who are vessels for the Light.

The age now before us is literally a "time within times." In this great new age, lasting 2500 years, men will learn of and use the energies of the soul, mind, and planets, thus becoming masters of time and space. From this will come forth another Golden Age to the earth and to man.

In these times, all resisting the light will suffer; all resisting the tone will come under the purging aspect of the sound or the Great Vibration of the Holy Ghost. So does God reinforce His creation through and by His Word. All have the opportunity to rise and to be cleansed in preparation for the New Day.

When the Solar Archetype is quickened, this brings about the radical upsetting of decadent fixations. The Solar Archetype produces certain daring and creative inventive incentives until now dormant in the minds of men.

The Archetone within the Archetype sounds when the Archetype is ready for manifestation. The Spirit of Truth and the Holy Ghost stir and flood the upper planes of the Astral World or the First Heaven with ideas and pictures which fall into the minds of prophets, seers, and advanced disciples; and this in turn produces the transcending changes in the outer life of the world.

I was first initiated into the Supreme or Greater Archetypes in December 1952 to January 1953 in the city of New York. The Archetypes unveiled their meaning to me, producing the System of Niscience.

This painting...was painted in the city of Pasadena, California in the year of 1954.

     ....In the present time, the sounding of the Holy Ghost is producing a new charisma in the world. Man exists in a state of chaos, that he may open the eternal atoms of his higher mind, and thus stand more upright for God.
     Spiritually sensitive souls are aware of the Holy-Ghost action, and respond according to their spiritual aptitudes. Negative persons respond with irritation, dissolution, rebellion.
     The Holy-Ghost tone will cease not until all are rectified under the Will of God. When Holy Ghost works with t he resurgence tones of man's renewal, one may be said to fall into the hands of the living God. This is why it is stated in scripture, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)

....This is his goal and even though ladened with a lesser initiate on his back he is striking out with his right foot, showing that he will not be misdirected or misled by any of the enticements on either side. His goal is the central sun, a golden disc centered upon the horizon.

The brown mountains ahead, before he reaches this goal, indicate that he must master the forces of matter before he enters into the light.

This painted "freshet" is symbolic of all who enter the path. Temptations are ever nigh, but one must keep his eyes fixed on the goal or the light.

The footprints behind the turtle indicate that he is leaving his mark or message of his struggle to reach the light.

....Every white square represents a white or pure aspect of action. Every black square represents the adversary and the unmanifest to be mastered by the initiate.

Before an initiate may mount the stairs containing the 9 steps, he must balance these alternate forces within his own nature. He does so through dream initiation and mastery over the astral world.

The four columns in the painting represent the initiation into the four cosmic points of the earth -- north, south, east, and west. The initiate is introduced into the universal laws upholding the continuity of the earth through the mastery of the cosmic forces.

The hand-railing supporting the walk up, contains 22 balusters. This represents the mastery of the number 22, again relating to 4, or one's own supporting physical body through which he expresses himself in the physical world -- the physical body, the emotional body, the etheric body, and the mental body.

The 9 steps to the Hall of Learning represent the 9 portals or openings in the physical body. These portals are outlets and antennas for the 5 senses of man. In reaching up for spiritual consciousness, the initiate must shut out the lower sense action which worked through the 9 openings of the body, that he may rise upward into communing with the spiritual planes.

The blue carpet represents the plane of akasia or mental plateau of mind or rational initiation.

The 2 circles in which a golden triangular form is seen represent 2 spheres of consciousness to be mastered. The circle represents protection. The golden triangle represents supreme consciousness.

The door to the left or the triangle opening within the circle represents the mystic mind of high purity watched over by the Bodhisattvas and Saints. This relates to the First Heaven. One entering this mystic door is instructed and led into the higher atmospheres of Holy Mediation. He becomes aware of the angels, of their helps and ministerings. He must master heart initiation or love.

The centered circle with the head of the Master on a pedestal-like form indicates that the initiate experiencing this freshet is being led into the second door of the archives, records of the soul, and is now ready to prepare for the telepathic communion with the Masters.

The third circle -- unformed -- to the right shows that the disciple at the time the freshet was painted had yet to open the third door. This door takes the initiate into the archetypal world.

All initiated into higher consciousness must enter these three doors. Through life after life, the soul seeks to open the door to the Higher Worlds.

The majority of men in the earth are still struggling with the black and white alternates and have yet to take command over their sensuality, so that they may rise upward to the lighted regions of the golden promise of the soul and the mind.

The one in green is still moldering in the grave, but she looks on him as one who gave favoritism to the half-brother who had died before him; as he held him up in the physical world he feels he must now hold him up in the after-death state. The one in the orange was a "half-brother" among the seven. He was a mere boy when she married him and was unable to fulfill his conjugal duty. The woman is saying, "Here in heaven, I belong to myself and to God. What you were in my life, does not touch me now. I was a good wife; I am insulated from you by my virtue which is intact in heaven."
