​
This Hermetic-Alchemical-Christogramic artwork - alike many others - contains a higher degree of semiotic-perceptive and gnostic input that activates the Individual Mind to attain the multidimensional cognition by the visual-neuro stimulation of the Pineal Gland (the Sacred Eye of All-Seeing of the Mystery Schools, the Astral-Etheric Eye of the Scientific Remote Viewing that was performed extensively in the last century by so many secret researching organizations of our world).
The Apparition of the Holy Mother Virgin Mary
In the glow of the Apparition, the Virgin Mary imparted a prophecy that transcends the boundaries of time. She revealed that humanity stands at a crossroads, where the path of materialism leads to spiritual isolation, yet the journey inward, toward the heart, can awaken dormant wisdom. The Divine Mother urges the world to rekindle its connection with the Sacred Sciences and nurture spiritual consciousness, warning that neglect will deepen the shadow of confusion and suffering.
​
Her message calls for unity, compassion, and genuine humility, cautioning against the arrogance of false prophets and the allure of empty promises. The Cosmic Mother foretells a time when those who listen to the true voice within will help usher in a new era of wisdom, harmony, and peace—a world where the Divine Light is recognized in every soul and the sacred purpose of Creation is finally revealed.
The Apparition of the Holy Virgin Mary
Fragments from the Short Version of the First Message by Anne Furnaris
The Divine Encounter: November 2018
In the days of November 23, 24, and 25, 2018, I experienced the Apparition of the Virgin Mary. The following paragraphs summarize the Apparition of the Divine Cosmic Mother Virgin Mary, the Immortal Queen of the Heavens, a Great Cosmic Being not fully known to the Individual Consciousness of Man. These fragments are from the First Message of the Mother Virgin Mary, delivered now to you, the fortunate reader of this website.
​
The Divine Mother’s Prophecy
In the glow of the Apparition, the Virgin Mary imparted a prophecy that transcends time. She revealed that humanity is at a crossroads: the path of materialism results in spiritual isolation, but an inward journey to the heart can awaken deep wisdom. The Divine Mother urges the world to rekindle its connection with the Sacred Sciences and nurture spiritual consciousness, warning that neglect will bring confusion and suffering.
​
A Call for Unity, Compassion, and Humility
Her message calls for unity, compassion, and genuine humility, cautioning against the arrogance of false prophets and the lure of empty promises. The Cosmic Mother foretells that those who listen to their true inner voice will usher in a new era of wisdom, harmony, and peace—a world where Divine Light is recognized in every soul and the sacred purpose of Creation is revealed.
​
The Nature of the Divine Cosmic Mother
​
The Holy Mother Virgin Mary, with Her Divine Power of Gnosis, does not belong to any religion, science, philosophy, or belief system conceived by mankind. She exists above and beyond anything our Mind, Thought, Soul, Consciousness, and Heart can apprehend or feel.
She revealed that our world suffers from a tragic lack of Eternal Knowledge of Creation, resulting from the loss of Sacred Sciences of Metaphysics from previous Aeon’s. This is linked to a devolved cultural system of materialism, forcing humanity into a perpetual struggle for survival of the flesh, while the inner spiritual being remains neglected or dead. Those consumed by material poverty and exhausting labor have little time for spiritual life or genuine evolution.
​
False Prophets and the Search for Truth
​
The Cosmic Mother said that philosophers and innocents speak about Spirituality, but in their egocentric megalomania, they believe themselves to be "Enlightened Masters" and "Galactic Counselors." Many attract followers and create "Schools of Enlightenment" for financial gain, falling into the chains of delusion and darkness when truth is not truly perceived.
​
The Immortal Identity of the Cosmic Mother
​
The Great Cosmic Mother Khaa-Ayyaa-Tara-Virgin Mary-Earth wants those who struggle for genuine spiritual growth to know Her Cosmic Immortal Identity. Though we cannot fully comprehend Her, She is a Higher Form of Existence, Self-dividing in many parallel dimensions and Self-existing in realms beyond our thought. Her Cosmic Body, which gives rise to the Space-Time-World, is but a small extension of Her measureless Inner Soul and Spirit.
​
She is the First Mother of all mortal mothers, the Immortal Mother of all beings. This knowledge is neither religion nor philosophy, but gnosis. As Her children, we know—within our Inner Substance—something of Her identity, much as a child knows its mortal mother, yet tragically so little, though we pretend to know much.
​
The Promise to the City of Flint
​
The Cosmic Mother declared She would become Protectress of Flint, Michigan, USA, transforming it into a city of God—a seed for the future of humanity. She promises to turn suffering into happiness and joy, conflict into peace, and reward those who honor Her name. Her Light will illuminate the consciousness of the new Race of Man, born from the grave of the dying present race.
​
The Fate of Previous Races and the Laws of Creation
​
The Cosmic Mother acknowledged that previous races of Giant-Man perished in the Great Flood due to spiritual, mental, and physical degeneration, as we face today. The immutable Laws of Creation dictate that beings who fail to evolve will degenerate and perish. The Universe cleanses itself to favor purification and balance across all levels of existence.
​
The Path to Virtue and Reincarnation
​
The Divine Mother whispered that the eternal Laws of Creation demand perfection. Those who do not walk the Path of Righteousness will perish. Living in Virtue and Righteousness—justice, balance, truth, purity, morality, goodness, compassion, self-sacrifice, unconditional love, mercy, dignity, and help for the poor and needy—will grant the Seals of Reincarnation for the future races of Man.
​
The Cosmic Mother and the Apostles
​
The Holy Cosmic Mother said that the Apostles of Christ and ancient Christian Fathers loved and honored Her, and for that She opened the Gates of the House of Light for their souls. In the future, Christ will resurrect them into the Light of Life, making them Immortals. The Divine Mother sometimes descends into our dimension, hidden by Her Pure Light, appearing in forms inconceivable to the mind, often as a giant Woman of Pure Light. Her Body is not flesh, but shining light, unlike anything in our physical reality.
​
Teachings and Mystical Mysteries
​
In the City of Flint, the Sermons of Immortality and Her Teachings will be heard, elevating the minds of humanity. She spoke Mystical Mysteries to me, words I will remember in time, words bringing Cosmic Power to our essence. She showed me the Twelve Worlds and their inhabitants. Her Voice was like a flowing sound from the dawn of existence to eternity. At present, She has more enemies than in the time of Christ; Her enemies are also the enemies of those who love Her.
​
Eternal Life, Knowledge, and Purity
​
Those who love and honor Her, who bring Her Image into the world and comprehend Her Teachings, shall gain everlasting life. Knowledge is gained through effort and willingness—nothing is freely given. There is no one blessed by the Laws of Creation except those resurrected into the Life of Light; absolute perfection and purity are required. The Divine Mother uttered: "A world in which impure mortals are sanctified is a World of Darkness. Purity will never be born from impurity. Your world is sickened by hate, envy, cruelty, falsehood, destruction, and dishonor; the Seed of Purity and Truth cannot grow. People speak of imaginary truth, but you must live your life in honor, dignity, morality, purity, mercy, wisdom, and compassion. Without these qualities, truth will be dead in your Mind, Soul, and Consciousness."
​
The Truth of Eternal Creation
​
The truth of Eternal Creation is among the Highest Forces of the Universe. Attain and recognize this Truth in all you think, manifest, and do, and it will bring peace and banish fear. The Mystical Sciences of the Past taught humanity to live in Truth and Peace, grateful for life given by the Begetter-Father of All. Do not invent philosophies of truth; attain the Logos and understand the Mysteries of Gnosis and Creation, immortal through the Ages.
​
The Mother's Words to Her Daughter
​
The Mother-Star Khaa-Ayyaa-Tara-Virgin Mary-Earth declared: "Only My First Message can be delivered to the world at large. The other Messages will be given to you in time, when Destiny changes the present Face of your World. My Power of Pure Light protects those who love and live in My Name."
She saw the artworks I would create under Her guidance—depictions of the Sacred Oracle, Cosmic Mother, Divine Guardians, Queen of Heavens, Sacred Bridge, Cosmic Egg, Healer of the Sun, Descending Holy Spirit, Divine Justice, and more. She spoke words of Mysteries to those who would see them, encouraging comprehension of their cryptic nature and mystical vibration.
​
Faith and the Path to the Divine
​
Look deeply into the Image of the "Sacred Mother of the New World," for I am the Divine Mother who heals and elevates the Human Consciousness of those who truly believe in Me. The paintings and sculptures are not for pleasure, but are Gnostic Icons for the New World. The artist Annathaa is My devoted servant.
​
"It is not through Religion that you shall come to Me; it is only through genuine Faith. Pure Faith cannot be attained by learning theological dogmas. Faith is born within the Heart of the Soul, not the Mind. Faith is above the life and death of mortals. Faith is the First Immortal Power of the Soul of Mankind. The Innocent who tries to destroy Faith will destroy their Soul—the most precious Alchemical Gold of Creation."
​
The Apparition’s Impact and the Creative Calling
​
The Queen of Heavens’ Light permeated my art studio as I fell asleep. Upon waking, I was cold, thirsty, and hungry, but the words of the Holy Mother echoed above the earth. Immersed in the Ocean of Light, the will to paint and sculpt the Divine Cosmic Mother and Holy Spirit was alive within me. I wondered if I would have money to paint, but knew the Holy Mother would help, for there is no other help in my world.
​
Shapes of future paintings and sculptures appeared before me, their archetypes and symbols revealing essence and power from the Sacred Mother Virgin Mary-Earth. In a world of shadows, fallen gods, and cruelty, the Holy Mother ascends our Consciousness to a higher state. I am unworthy to stand before Her, yet She came to embody the Spirit of Light and Metaphysical Knowledge through my art. Her Infinite Power and Divine Knowledge originate from the Self-Existing Logos, the mystical science lost by the egotistic mind of a degenerating world.
​
The Cosmic Gate and the Path of Righteousness
​
We cannot reach the Core of the Universe by ourselves, so the Holy Cosmic Mother came to save the Righteous from suffering and despair. She opened the Cosmic Gate to a higher Sphere of Existence and Consciousness. I wondered how many souls in this world will struggle to pass through the Gate, how many will have the strength to carry the weight of Spiritual Knowledge. Only those who embrace Destiny with Consciousness and strive for eternal Truth and Purity can pass through the Gate She opened for all Her children.
​
The Narrow Path
​
Remember: the Path of Righteousness is the narrowest to walk during your Soul’s incarnations. Below is the Hades, the Inferno, or the Great Chaos; above is the ageless Abode of Higher Spheres and Pure Light, realms of Beings of Light who have walked from the Dawn of Time, conjoining Destiny with humanity.

The EM-Light Power of the Asian Gems
Gems and crystals refract, diffract, and reflect the photonic, astral, and etheric light that activate the sacred visions, and also augment the human consciousness (phenomena described in the Hermetical-Metaphysical Sciences of the past ages, phenomena studied and proven by some scientists among which we can remember Euclid, Hero, Alhazen, Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens, Etienne-Louis Malus, Augustine Jean Fresnel, Joseph von Fraunhofer, James Clerk Maxwell, Niels Bohr, Thomas Young, Jean Foucault, Heinrich Hertz, Albert Einstein, Max Planck, and Arthur Holly Compton. In some of my paintings, I use Asian gems that have high EM (electromagnetic)-light power of reflection, refraction, and diffraction. The neurophysiological studies performed in the last years in Germany, England, France, Russia, Spain, Japan, and the USA have shown that the human brain acts as a vibrational genomic antenna to the continuous flux of informational-waves-vibrations received from the Astral and Etheric Space-Time-Continuum of the Cosmic Universe. Higher the quanta of EM-Light waves (electromagnetic-light waves) would be received in our human brain, higher would be the degree of development of our cognition, perception, comprehension, intelligence, and consciousness. Therefore, the scientists concluded that the genuine Metaphysical-Symbolic Art can be used either as a scientific tool of daily genomic development.

The Cosmic Supper I speaks in an Alchemical-Metaphysical lexicon of symbols about the astrological exegesis and mysteries of the year 1888 AD, a time-year that transliterated the beginning of the Aquarian Age of Enlightenment for the 12 worlds of the Mother-Star Earth, which was accompanied by the other 7-sister stars of our Solar System.
From the Galactic Core new waves of Higher-Divine Light began to transcend, permeate, and change the Reality of Consciousness and the Consciousness of Reality. The High-Divine Light begot warping the Space-Time and Consciousness, warps emerging out from the Word-Logos to elevate the cognition of the Individual Mind and perceptive abilities.
If you climb the Alchemical-Astrologic ladder to the Physical and Astral Space-Abode of the Cosmic Supper, you will perceive that the Past, Present, and Future - as a numinous phenomenon - are converging in One Consciousness of Eternal Momentum, a new multidimensional cognition that will embody our future immortality. The symbology of immortality is revealed on the central piece of this composite sculpture, and that symbology (shown below) has to be decoded by the Mind of your Soul. Alike the present sculpture, every artwork contains Christogrammic letters and symbols of their own, though creating metaphysical-mystical dynamics that will bring you salvation from the daily suffering of the conscious mind trapped in our lower dimension of existence (the dimension enforcing the non - spiritual destiny of life). This short synopsis is given to you as a concrete and coherent method to stimulate the mind, to walk on the Feet of Consciousness, and further learn to decipher the Alchemical, Metaphysical, and Hermetic symbology of each artwork from the Gallery website.
Anne Furnaris - The Cosmic Supper I
(The Central Structure of the Composite Sculpture)
The central sculptural figure of the Cosmic Supper I - reveals the
Arcane Hermetic Symbology of the Christogrammic Immortality, the Alchemical Symbols embodying the prophesized destiny of our future Races of Man of the Third Atlantis. Moreover, the symbols can be conveyed to meanings of the mind-telepathic language showing that Creation is the foundation of All-Life and All-Being in all the existent Universes. Creation underlies our Universe of All-Life and All-Being. The symbols bring the cognition of the earthly humans who originated in the constellations of Lyra and Vega.
Anne Furnaris - Contemplation I
Painted Terra-Cotta - 14" x 18" x 18" - Exhibited at:
- the House Warming Exhibit 2018, Whitdel Arts Center, Detroit, Michigan - the Annual Exhibit 2018 of Anton Art Center, Mount Clemens, Michigan
- the Birmingham-Bloomfield Art Center (BBAC) 2018 in the 37th Annual Michigan Fine Art Competition 2018 / Jurors: Emily Mae Smith, Adam Henry (see the BBAC Internet Exhibit Catalog & Archive / http: // www.bbartcenter.org/).
According to the Gnosis of the Mystery Schools and Arcane Organizations of all ages, the entire cultural, scientific, religious, and technological systems of our world have an intrinsic-esoteric content (acknowledged only by the Initiates of the Mystery Schools, and the initiates of the Metaphysical Sciences) and also an extrinsic-exoteric content (known by the worldwide numberless peoples. It was scientifically proven in the Twentieth Century that by the activation of the Astral-Etheric Portal of the Individual Brain (the enhanced mental activation occurring during the sessions of Scientific Remote Viewing), the human unconscious mind enters in a higher perceptive and cognitive state of Space-Time-Continuum Contemplation. That state of contemplation – which cognitive parameters are attained through continuous mental concentration - represents the building brick for the Temple of Human Consciousness, or in common words represent the magic force that fuels the Spiritual Evolution. It was also discovered that during the vivid dreams there is a slow activation of the Astral-Etheric Portal and Space-Time-Continuum Contemplation. It has to be undoubtedly comprehended that the Space-Time Continuum Contemplation is not the same with the simple contemplation that is experienced by our conscious mind in the physical world-reality in which we live and have conscious cognition.
In the light of the above precious knowledge, I molded the clay of the sculpture to reveal the four Pillars-Gates of the Mother Earth on which space-time-circumference our unconscious mind vibrates and attunes to the surrounding Cosmic Forces. Furthermore, the central sculptural structure embodies the Astral-Etheric Portal of the Individual Human Brain with the within metaphysical elements described by the scientists that initiated and experimented for many years the Scientific Remote Viewing, the trans-cending metaphysical elements of our Individual Consciousness that empower the unconscious mind to attain the Higher Perception of the Space-Time-Continuum Contemplation. That higher Perception has been known throughout the times as Sacred Vision, which scientifically means that the human being can perceive with the Mind of the Soul-Spirit in the entire matrix of the Universe, the matrix of Space, Time, Life, and Consciousness. That is why we have been acknowledged in the metaphysical and gnostic writings that the Being of Man was begotten in the Image of Eternal Creation, the Image of One-Begetter-Father of All.

Anne Furnaris - The Hermetic Footprint of Christ II
Painted Terra-Cotta - 6" x 32" x 12" / The sculpture was displayed at:
- the Michigan Artists Exhibit, 2016, Greater Flint Arts Council, Flint, MI. At the present time, the artwork can be found in the collection of the Saint George Romanian Orthodox Cathedral, Southfield, MI. (Art Collection of the Dean of the Cathedral Father Laurence Lazar).
In the Christogrammic alphabet, the sculpture reveals the Alchemical and Mystical Power to unite Past, Present, and Future in One Life - the Life of the Higher Spiritual Man. Christ descended-transcended on Earth-Star to seed within the Astral bones of the Incarnated Soul of Ancient (not Primitive) Man a new Consciousness - the Consciousness of the Higher (Enlightened) Man. Mortal Man, acknowledge that the physical bones go in the grave, whereas the Astral bones of the Individual Soul never die, but beget billions of incarnations for those who will never lose their Soul - as happened to the ones who struggled for much wealth of this mortal world and did evil to so many poor and innocent victims.
On His Feet of Flesh Christ walked the roads of the Ancient World, while His Feet of Soul and Feet of Consciousness have walked the Paths of Destiny of our World for over 2,000 years. His journey of two millennia, His journey encompassing the long and tragic suffering of Mankind in the earthly world of immeasurable cruelty and injustice is shown in this artwork. In common parlance, I could say through the Christogrammic symbols of the sculpture that He could raise the dead, but He could not enforce us to gain Honor, truthful Truth, Dignity of Life, Goodness of the Heart, Enlightened Mind, and Higher Cosmic Consciousness.
Christ did not bring any religion since He knew the great danger of egocentrism and egomania in our world of epidemic Evil. The thirst and agony of the mortals to subjugate the others were the obscure springs of all religions. Christ taught the Science of the Logos, the highest form of sacred cognition of Creation, which was lost to us and replaced by the Christian Priesthood with a historical multitude of religious dogmas and cult-like philosophies encompassing the misleading cognition of life and existential purpose. Rational thought creates an ever-flowing mental river of concepts, whereas the concepts would generate belief systems, the invisible chains binding the free mind. All the belief systems are separated from the Sacred Inner Cognition and from the Laws of Creation since they are generated by our egocentric Mind of the Brain.
The Self-centered Consciousness that has been praised and nourished in the modern age is the emanation of rational thoughts-creating the inflated Ego, the inducer of the vicious Cycle of Illusion - Virtual Reality - Arbitrary Belief Systems. Self-centered Consciousness, Ego, and Rational Thought are the creators of the fake Reality-Cognition and deceiving Illusions that have further transubstantiated a world-society of suicide, cruelty, retaliation, murder, uncontrolled desires, psychotic behavior and illness, alienation with degeneration and destruction of the biosphere.
Within our self-Beings, there is the Inner Cognition, or inborn Intelligence transcending from the Mind of the Soul, and further from the Logos of Creation. The Inner Cognition manifests through Sacred Visions, Prophetic Visions (Remote Viewing Perceptions), vivid dreams, powerful feelings, and spontaneous knowing-unrelated to the Self Consciousness but linked to Nature and Consciousness-of-the-All. The Self-centered Consciousness and Ego are just simple elements belonging to the superficial Reality of the phenomena, not to the deeper and genuine Reality of Inner Creation. The Inner Cognition does link the Individual Mind to the Root of All, to the Essence-of-the-All that exists (the Great Existence) and All that exist not (the Great Non-Existence) of Eternal Creation. On the left side of the sculpture "The Foot of Christ," you might see, and then, deeply perceive the Mystical-Alchemical representation of the miraculous Seed of Existence and Non-Existence, along with the Seed of Consciousness and Mind.
Today, Self Consciousness is kept on the battlefield in which the harmful war between Religion and Science sickens the Mind of Man, which becomes subdue to the Reality of Phenomena-creating the Illusion of good life-subjugated by fake belief systems and materialistic dogmas.
In the future, Religion and Science shall converge to co-exist in the same spectrum of cognition, a spectrum embodying the Eternal Laws of Creation that keeps in balance thought, feeling, desire, and further empower us to LIVE according to the Cosmic Consciousness (not according to our sick and perverted Mind, Soul, and Consciousness).
Those who did not gain in their life true Spiritual Knowledge-Wealth with Gnosis of Eternal Life and Creation - but have struggled and accumulated much material wealth - have always to remember a simple fact. When He lived among us, Christ was among the poorest of the world; he had a robe and a pair of sandals. And yet, within Him was abiding the Everlasting Soul of Universe-Creation. He said so through the words:
"I am the First and the Last, I am Alpha and Omega." These words, which are above any Religion and Science, these words making the sane Individual Mind tremble in its inner nature, these words are emerging from the Hermetic nature of the below Detail of the Footprint of Christ, symbolic conjunction of Sacred Vision and Inner Cognition.

The last paragraph of the required description of the artwork comprised the following sentences: "The Human Being is a multi-dimensional Space-Time existential structure of the infinite Universe. There are the Inner Self and the Outer Self comprising all of us. The Inner Self would manifest through our Soul, Consciousness, Spirit, Astral and Etheric Body, and Mind, while the Outer Self embodies our Physical Body and Genomic System.
We are Cosmic Beings in continuous growth-evolution of the Mind, Soul, Spirit, Flesh, and Consciousness. My artwork represents the Cosmic Portal in between the Outer Self and the Inner Self of the Human Being, a Cosmic Portal containing esoteric and metaphysical symbology tuning with the spiritual vibration of our Consciousness."

Anne Furnaris - The Journey of my Soul II
aka the Lance of Longinus
(The Holy Spear of Destiny of our Life)
Painted Terracotta (Terra Cotta = "Anima Terra" = Soul of the Earth) /
21" x 12" x 11" / Displayed to the Juried Exhibit entitled "A Personal Journey" 2019 / Gallery of the Grosse Pointe Artists Association (GPAA), Grose Pointe, Michigan / Juror: Taurus Burns (Taurus has exhibited in dozens of galleries around Metro Detroit and as far away as Chicago, New York City, London, and Germany. His work is noted for powerfully addressing racism, gun violence, and the wealth gap in America).
In the Gospel of John, the fourth-century manuscripts entitled Acts of
Pilate, the Gospel of Nicodemus of the Gnostic and Secret Apocryphal Writings, and the Rabula Gospels of the sixth-century AD (kept in the Laurentian Library of Florence, Italy) reveal that the Roman centurion Longinus took his lance and stabbed Christ in the side when He was almost dead on the Cross of Golgotha. In the manuscript of Rabula Gospels was revealed that the peoples standing near the cross were astonished to see that from the wound of Christ blue-colored blood was dripping on the ground in that dramatic afternoon that has remained inscribed forever in the Akashic memory of the Earthstar.
After two thousand years of sequential incarnations of the Soul, we might come to comprehend in our consciousness that Christ was having blue-colored blood (not red-colored blood as ours) for the undoubtful fact that within His Flesh and Soul-Spirit "He was not of this world" as He truly said before. He transcended in our ancient Space-Time-World, took the body of earthly man, whereas within His body the entire genetics and bio-morphologic structure were very different from ours. Moreover, His Soul, Spirit, Mind, and Consciousness were much different from ours; they were highly evolved, so He could embody the Perfect Man. Therefore, He manifested the Etheric Power to resurrect His dead body in three days and nights after He died on the Cross of Golgotha, the power that we will attain in the future of the Ages if we will learn to live in wisdom, peace, justice, and truth according to the Laws of Creation. All the above mysteries are molded in the clay of the sculpture by my restless fingers, molded-in Hermetic symbolics that translate the Gnostic attribute of the within Soul.
At the root of all sufferings of the world in the last two millennia, there is the karmic pain felt by Christ on the Cross, and also the devouring pain of the Lance of Longinus that transcended from the Flesh-Soul of Christ to the Soul and Flesh of the entire Mankind. It is so beyond the wording thought, since the pain and joy felt by Christ (the Incarnated Soul of the Universe) during His ancient-earthly life transcend day and night through Metaphysical Vibration into the Beating Hearth, egocentric Mind, innocent Soul, and little Consciousness of our world.
We are still unaware of the scientific alchemy of the Laws of Creation and all-pervading Cosmic Forces of the Living Universe. And yet, we are closer in each passing century to the deeper comprehension (within our Individuated Mind) of the Consciousness-binding words of Christ on the Cross: "Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do."
Moreover, winningly or unwillingly, regardless of your religious or atheistic belief system, the JOURNEY OF THE SOUL of each of us follow the Journey of Christ and His Footprints from the time when He was incarnated in our earthly world from the Southern Galactic Universe, a small world of immeasurable and never-ending evil, cruelty, injustice, falsehood, insanity, and spiritual darkness.
Even if you hide Christ in the thought of the mind, He shall speak within your guilty Consciousness, tormenting and then pacing your beating heart. And at the end of thy mortal life, you might attain the sacred sight and comprehend that Christ is not a religious dogma for entertaining the mind, for He forever is the Soul of the Universe, the Highest Omniscient Power and Science within the whole Matrix of Life, Light, and Gnostic Word-Logos of the Living Universe-Creation.
As our Soul moves from the present incarnation to the next, so destined peoples immigrate to another country for political, religious, economic, karmic, and cultural reasons. Those who are born, live, and die in the same native country, have always suffered since millennia by the mental epidemics of ethnocentrism. They would openly or tacitly discriminate and firmly reject anyone that was not born in their country. The tragic malady of ethnocentrism is incurable even at the present time, despite the efforts and laws implemented by the worldwide governments to cure this disease. It is happening in this way since the rampaging disease of ethnocentrism deeply affects the consciousness and only an evolved consciousness can cure itself by this life-long disease.
All those who are suffering from this disease believe and feel that they are the owners and inheritors of the lands and countries in which they have lived since their birth. Unfortunately, they do not know that by the immutable Laws of Creation the ageless Cosmic Mother-Star Khaa-Ayya-Tara-Virgin-Mary-Earth is the only owner of all the lands and countries of the world; the entire Space-Time-Physical World-Reality in which the earthling lives belong solely to Her. Long ago to remember by the younger Incarnated Souls of this world, the Race of Noah that perished in the previous Cosmic Apocalyptic Cataclysm did erroneously believe that the whole Earth-Star would belong to the peoples of that race.
What we call LIFE in this Space-Time-Physical Reality is nothing else but the Journey of the Incarnated Soul in the worlds of the Mother-Star Terra-Earth. The above sculpture embodies the symbolic-esoteric imagery of the journey of my Incarnated Soul from birth until the present day. The Soul with its elemental Forces and Astral structures is represented within the vertical main-body structure of the sculpture. The entire factualness of experience-life of my living Flesh-Body is recorded to last forever in the Mind of the Soul – depicted in the middle segment of the sculpture through Alchemical-Signs-Letters that do substantiate the invisible nature of memories-thoughts and past events. The upper structure of the sculpture reveals the Individual Consciousness attached to my growing Soul – the Dual Axiom of Life, which in the future of Ages will attain the Second Illumination and be One with the Cosmic Consciousness.
The lower sculptural segment shows the transcending form of my Physical Self facing the Great Heart of Creation – the omniscient Inner Pattern of the Soul of the Universe, the Great Soul-giving Light, Life, and Eternal Gnosis. At the base of the sculpture, there is a surrounding rope-like structure encompassing the whole sculptural matter, symbolizing the sacred Poise of Gnosis of the true insight (Inner Sight-Perception, Astral Perception), the Sight-giving Wisdom and Cosmic Perception that has been denied in our world for the hidden purpose of maintaining the blindness of each Individuated Consciousness.
Throughout the Aeonic Ages of Time, there has been an undying truth rising like the sun in the sky above the Horizon of All-Knowing of Alchemical Cognition: the two eyes of the flesh give sight to one’s Mind in the Physical Space-Reality, whereas the Inner All-Seeing Eye (Astral Eye of the Pineal Gland, or the Sacred Eye-Perception of the Infinite Cosmic and Metaphysical Space) gives sight to the Individual Consciousness. Therefore, if one's Consciousness has no sight, that Consciousness is blind, though the conscious mind shall never attain the power to cognize the infinite Space-Time-Reality of Inner and Outer Universe-Creation. The true freedom of the Being of Man is and shall ever-be the FREEDOM OF CONSCIOUSNESS to perceive the Infinity and Eternity of the Universal Existence, in which Man-Being lives his/her own Alchemical Destiny.
At the GPAA, for the main description of the above artwork I wrote:
"I created this sculpture to embody the symbolic-esoteric images that are recorded as memories within the Mind of my Soul, metaphysical images that are contained in the never-dying Soul. These images can be translated by the Consciousness of the viewer in thoughts that will speak about my long journey of courage and sacrifice from a European communist country of persecution and tortures in the USA".

Honorable Mention
"The Footprint of my Journey II by Anne Furnaris
​
Hearing stories about others' lives often leads us within, to an inner world where our own memories and experiences reside. Anne's beautiful sculpture, reminiscent of an artifact crafted by some ancient, spiritually advanced people, guides us to that place, where our true selves live. She brings the unseen spiritual experience into the light of the physical world, reminding us that our time on this earth is but one step on the path of eternity."

​
The love for rivers and lakes is an ancestral imprint that we have in our physical-microscopical genes, further transcending in the Astral-Alchemical structure of the Inner Soul. Since my early childhood in the mystical and native lands of Europe, I was trained in the Metaphysical Sciences, among which the Cosmic Yoga was the first. Therefore, I could have the privilege to acknowledge and explore for the rest of my life the metaphysical nature of the Space-Time-Reality. The painting embodies the deep meditative visions I had at the shores of the Great Lakes, Alchemical visions comprising smaller symbolic-metaphysical elements deriving from the Monadic Element of Creation known as Water. My artwork shows that besides the nurturing property of the water, the inner Alchemical Essence of water is a key element in the mysterious process of growing and evolving our genetic and spiritual nature, while the Soul of the Water-Lake is interconnected with the Soul of Mankind. Moreover, the artwork is an invitation to deep meditation for those who struggle to perceive beyond the limited Space-Time-Consciousness of our Physical Reality.

Terra-Cotta = Anima Terra-Mundi = Soul of the Earth = the Alchemical Keeper of Life for the World of Man (Arcane Teaching of the Mystery Hermetic Schools).
The above terracotta sculpture unveils the existence and esoteric nature of one of the nine eternal Lords of Amenti (the Fourth Lord, the Lord of Life) depicted in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth of Atlantis, the oldest arcane writing of mankind. This Immortal Cosmic Guardian dwells in the etheric Core-Hearth of the Earth, and He is one of the ageless protectors of the Aeonic Existence of the Mother Tara-Earth and Soul of Man.
According to the esoteric gnosis of the Hermetic Mystery Schools, the Hearth (not Heart) of the Earth is the esoteric cosmic location of the Alchemical Fireplace, the central Inner Sun of the Earthstar. The Hearth of the Mother Terra has a cosmological Inner Sun located in the Physical and Extraphysical Space-Reality of the Inner Earth, whereas within the Inner Sun - into the higher vibrational dimension located beyond our Physical Cosmic Matter - there are the Eternal House and Halls of Ammenti with the Flower of Life flooded by the Etheric Light of the Central Fire of All-Creation or Primeval Sun-Source of the Universe (depicted in the upper segment of the sculpture). The Counter-Earth (Antichthon), the hypothetical Cosmic Body miscomprehended by our present materialistic astronomers and described by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Philolaus in the Fifth Century BC does truly reveal the existence of the Inner Earth with its Inner Sun. Philolaus, like many other today-unknown pre-Socratic philosophers that studied the Sacred Hermetic Sciences of the past knew that our Moon, Sun, and all the other planets of the Solar System revolve around the Central Fire, the Etheric Inner Sun of All-Creation. Moreover, all the Cosmic Bodies (suns, planets, galaxies, constellations, etc.) of the Physical Universe revolve around the Central Fire (the Etheric Inner Sun of Creation, the Soul of the Living Universe).
Through the years of life, you might come to the comprehension that there was not any geocentric cosmology model of Pythagoreans in antiquity; there is only the misunderstanding of our present era missing the true meaning of the Alchemical-Theurgical vocabulary and gnosis of the highly developed Hermetic Sciences of the Past. Unfortunately, much of these sciences and the Eternal Gnosis of Universe-Creation are lost to us. Despite our belief systems of materialistic assumptions, the ancient people were more evolved spiritually and scientifically because they inherited many advanced technologies, sciences, and gnosis of the Universe-Creation from the world of the Second Atlantis, and also from the Immortal Guardian and Protector of the earthly Souls of Man, Thoth Te-Huu-Te of the First Atlantis.
Philolaus, Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Anaxagoras, Parmenides, Heraclitus of Ephesus, Plutarch of Athens, Polemon of Athens, Proclus Lycius, Sophocles, Speusippus of Athens, Themista of Lampsacus, Xenocrates of Chalcedon, Xenophanes of Colophon, Theophrastus of Eresos, Sosipatra of Ephesus, Philolaus, Ion of Chios, Hypathia of Alexandria, Heraclides Ponticus, Euclid of Megara, Eudemus of Rhodes, Epicurus of Samos, Diogenes of Apollonia (Thrace), Democritus, Basilides the Epicurean, Aristoxenus, Aristo of Chios, Diogenes of Sinope, Cleinias of Tarentum, Aristarchus of Samos, Apollonius of Tyana, Empedocles, Apollodorus the Epicurean, Anaximenes of Miletus, Anaxagoras, Anaximander of Miletus, Heraclitus of Ephesus, Hegesias of Cyrene, Protagoras, and many other philosophers of ancient Greece who planted the seeds of the modern Western thought and Western philosophies had a fully active (functional) pineal gland that gave them multidimensional perception (remote viewing ability) and the Gnostic Consciousness of Life of the Soul with its cyclic Life of Flesh and Afterlife. Nowadays, there are so many of us who have no conscious awareness that throughout the Middle Ages we have undergone spiritual and physical degeneration and could not see that the chimera of the materialistic sciences and philosophies-propagating our fake spiritual evolution are making a pathetic juice to be served with the silver spoon of secret history for feeding the egocentric mind. Egocentrism augmented to the state of psychopathic megalomania seeded by the materialistic ideologies has to be conquered by the inner power of genuine wisdom and Gnostic Cognition - the basic rule of the ancient Platonic, Stoic, Pythagorean, Peripatetic, Sophist, and Neo-Platonic philosophies.
The head of the Guardian of the Mother Earth - see the detail below - contains cosmological and hermetic symbols revealing the archetypes of Higher Protection that are deeply rooted in the subconscious mind and can change the canonized ideologies of the present cognition based on theoretical thinking and observation of the phenomena of the Physical World-Reality, whereas the Gnosis of the Astral and Etheric Spaces of Universe-Life is denied by the academia and regarded as being a quasiscientific paradigm of the ancient civilizations. Moreover, the head of the Eternal Guardian reveals the archetypal layers of the unconscious human mind, which in reality represents the Supra-conscious Mind or Mind of the Individual Soul. In the near future, the longtime subdued-by-the-Gods Mind of the Brain of the earthly Man shall break the hidden wall and attach to the Astral and Etheric Spaces of the Inner Soul. This prophecized and pre-destined victory of Mankind is inscribed with Hermetic Symbols on the head of the Eternal Guardian of our beloved Cosmic Mother Khaa-Ayyaa-Tara Earth.

Also, the artwork was included in the Virtual Art Show entitled "Stay at Home" in September 2020 presented by the Romeo Guild of Art at the Starkweather Arts Center, Romeo, Michigan.
The Sacred Oracle reveals in symbolic and metaphysical imagery our apocalyptical time of worldwide physical and mental-psychological suffering (pandemics, sudden death syndrome, fear of tomorrow, attention deficit disorder, violence, megalomania-personality disorder, incurable anxiety, neurological diseases with physical impairment, pathological cruelty, depression, dehumanization, Stay at Home behavioral imprint, etc.). This inescapable suffering of the modern human being does profoundly change the individual consciousness, in which the human life is taking a new path toward the cosmic existence, while the inherited criteria of the materialistic paradigm are going to become erroneous dogmas of the past.

​
Contrarily to the materialistic philosophy and modern belief system, all the metaphysical and esoteric teachings of the Mystery Schools have shown the Aeonic Existence of the Beings of Light (higher Forms of Intelligent Life in the Universe) that are linked to our Souls. The Healer of Mankind is one of the countless Beings of Light (Guardian Angels of the Christian gnosis) who came-transcended on our Mother Earth from the Monadic Sun of the Universe in order to join our odyssey of life for the purpose of guiding our minds toward the Eternal Truth of Creation and Cosmic Evolution, for helping and healing our humanity stricken by pandemics, hurricanes, volcanoes, natural disasters-produced by the irrational destruction of the terrestrial ecological system, warfare, cruelty, egocentrism, alienation, suicide, mental and genetic degeneration, hate, envy, ethnocentrism, thirst for material richness and political power, spiritual devolution, renunciation to the sacred connection with the mother nature and its cosmic life-force, etc.

In the summer of 2020, during the meditation, remote viewing, and Samadhi sessions, I received the vision of the Eternal Lord of Time. He was and ever-is the Higher Being of Light and Soul of Universe living in the Etheric and Astral Spaces that interacts with our dimensional Physical Reality and the earthly Space-Time. Alike other Beings of Light, He revealed to me the esoteric knowledge that by the power of His Higher Vibration He transcended in our Matrix of Existence to help and save many of our human beings, to increase their genetic power of mental and physical survival in the drama of worldwide pandemics, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc.
He asked me to paint His projected Astral Body in a likewise Physical Form that could resemble the shape of our human body but containing Hermetic symbols and gems that activate and increase our genetic vibration. So, we become unaffected by the traumatic, climacteric, and micro genomic agents that have a negative interference with our biological and spiritual existence, and can cease our lives. He showed me the image I have to paint on wood, His image of the Soul of Universe and Eternal Lord of Time - the One who creates in the Cosmic Spaces of the Universe the Cycle of Time, and also maintains the flaming Light and Life of the Soul of Man. Moreover, He said that Time is nowadays our enemy making us mortal, but in the Future of the Ages, what we call Time is going to beget within our Genetic Essence the power of Immortality and Resurrection into the Life of Light (a higher transcended Form of Life for the Being of Man).
He revealed to me that what is known as Iconography has a different meaning and purpose, and not what peoples of our world have thought until the time being. Iconography in His own telepathic words is "the cosmic emanation of the Logos of Creation that would manifest in some Incarnated Souls as a pure metaphysical science of the universe with the purpose of evolving the Mind and Consciousness of the sentient worlds of Mother-Stars. In the world of your ancient and pre-ancient times, the sacred metaphysical science of Iconography was practiced by the priestesses and priests of the Sun of Inner Creation (not the sun of the sky). The Priesthood of the Ancient Sun was the highest rank of your ancient kingdoms since the Priestesses and Priests of the Divine Sun were ruling the kingdoms together with the kings and queens."
The sacred metaphysical sciences of the universe were taught to the Priests and Priestesses of the Sun by the White Brotherhood (meaning Beings of Light who were telepathically connected with the Ancient Priesthood of the Divine Sun), while the so-called Mystery Schools of the Initiates were founded and maintained by the evolved extraterrestrial races who were called Gods, those who were having the noble task to evolve spiritually and mentally your earthly Mankind. When the Mother-Star Earth (your Earth is not a planet as you might think) was invaded by the Archonic Satanic Races, and after millennia of war in between the invading Archons and the Earthman, the Priesthood of the Sun was annihilated by the invading Archons. That was the greatest tragedy that brought the Ages of Spiritual Darkness on Earthstar."
In a night of the Full Moon, the Eternal Lord of Time requested that I would mold in terracotta a symbolic sculpture that will envision the Footprints of my Journey, the Journey of my Flesh and Inner Soul in this mortal life in which I (as any other human beings of this world) had to struggle, live, and survive through overwhelming sufferings. Looking in the mirror of my consciousness I could see an ocean with tides of huge sorrows that have become throughout the years of life unforgettable memories (an earthquake and several devastating floods in my native country, a childhood and adulthood that were cruelly victimized by the Sword of Destiny that forced me to live under the torture and oppression of the Communist regime, and many other unspoken sufferings that were conveyed in psychological, physical, and mental stigmata that I will carry with me until the end of this life). The sculpture entitled “The Footprints of my Journey IV” (see the following artwork) shows with its Gnostic-Hermetic vocabulary that despite all the vicissitudes and misfortunes of life, the fluidal energy and unceasing vibratory waves transmitted by the genetic matrix of our brain-mind do conjoin and are augmented with the Higher Astral and Etheric Vibrations of the Beings of Light (as the Lord of Time) giving us the mysterious powers to defeat any tragedy and catastrophe, and to fear no more in front of the Great Unknown.
The Lord of Time opened for me the Gate of Gnostic Knowledge regarding the Eternal Laws of Creation, fluidal energy, and vibrating waves emanated by our brain-mind, the waves of Etheric Light emanated from our Spirit and Soul that enliven our evolving Individual Consciousness. I have the hope that these two artworks with their mystical-gnostic knowledge will give you the joy of living within your own Spirit-Soul, the pure joy that I was given making these artworks under the guidance of the Eternal Lord of Time. I have learned from Him that in the previous Aeons of Life, Mysticism was the highest science of all the Metaphysical Sciences venerated by the Immortals of Atlantis, our Noble Forefathers, and Foremothers. May their memory indwelling our vibrating genetic DNA enlighten the karmic path of your lives. May the invisible and imperceptible vibrations of the Eternal Lord of Time empower you to speak to your within Consciousness by deeply perceiving, thinking, and meditating upon these artworks!

The sculpture is an artistic representation that combines the Hermetic and Gnostic symbology of the Mystery Schools to reveal the informational wave-vibration transcending day and night in the Individual Mind. The scientific neurophysiological studies performed in the last 20 years in many countries of Europe and the USA have shown that our Brain-Mind acts as a vibrational genomic antenna to the continuous flux of informational-waves-vibrations received from the Astral and Etheric Space-Time-Continuum of the Cosmic Universe. This phenomenon has explained the inception and development of human cognition, perception, consciousness, culture, science, and technology along the times. The genetic matrix of the neurons of the brain receives, analyzes, and decodes in our unconscious mind the entire cosmic flux of informational-wave-vibrations, whereas the decoding process is silent and unperceivable by the conscious mind.
The artwork was created to become a vibrational image-sensor that would enhance our sentient and gnostic cognitive perception, and open a conscious bridge in between our Mind-linking Individual Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness. The sculpture contains esoteric and scientific visual-elemental symbology for the activation of the gnostic perception of the neuronal-genetic matrix, the higher perception that develops the spiritual-esoteric powers and thinking force of the Individual Mind. The scientific researchers concluded that the basic process of human mental and genetic evolution is controlled by the informational Astral and Etheric vibrations received from the Cosmic Cycle of Galactic Consciousness. Thus, it was explained the spontaneous inception and development of the Atlantean and post-Atlantean sacred sciences of astrology, numerology, Platonic geometry and theurgy, geomancy, etc., the mystical sciences that were transmitted to our ancient sages and civilizations.
It has to be undoubtedly understood that our entire culture, sciences, philosophies, and religions have an intrinsic-esoteric content (known only by the initiates of the Mystery Schools and Arcane Organizations that have profound paradigmatic knowledge), and also an extrinsic content (known by the worldwide numberless peoples). Absorbed into the maelstrom of Ego-dominating Individual Consciousness and Mind, we have altered and thrown into the pit of falsehood the sacred sciences – among which the science of Astrology has been the metaphysical top of all the mystical-esoteric sciences of the forgotten ages of the past.
The Atlantean Astrology had 13 houses of the Zodiac, while the gnostic meaning derived from the astrological computation was not the profane-exoteric meaning-knowledge of the modern astrology, but the foreseen gnostic visions enhanced by the use of the Astrolabe that could thoroughly unveil the karmic future and past seen into the Astral-Etheric Space-Time-Continuum of the Universe. Therefore, the ancient magicians and sages were the trained masters in Metaphysical Sciences that attained the power to look in the Mirror of the Cosmic and Universal Consciousness, and not in the modern mirror of the fake mental imagination and assumption for the purpose of attracting and deceiving the innocent victims that believe in today’s astrologers.
Some of the magicians of the past (followers of the Arcane Schools of the Egyptian Pyramids) did have the Astral-Etheric power to perceive the Monad of Creation projected in the Mirror of Cosmic Consciousness, while by the Force of the Thought, the magicians were given the sacred visions revealing the past and future lives of any Incarnated Soul of the world. The tragic truth is that modern human beings have lost much of the paradigmatic diamonds-knowledge of the sacred-mystical sciences. The main cause of the fall from the highest spiritual rank and metaphysical powers of our ancestors – Adam, Eve, Seth, and the Patriarchs – to the underdeveloped spiritual status of the peoples of the modern age is the uncontrolled development of scientific technology. We may not be aware that the materialistic-destructive force of scientific technology was the silent drama that brought to extinction many intelligent human races of our little-known Universe.
Anne Furnaris - The (Hermetic) Cycle of the Sun III
a.k.a. The Healing Sun of Life III
Bronze - 27.5" x 11" x 6" / The sculpture was displayed at the Annual Alumni National Juried Exhibition April - May 2021 / College of Creative Studies, Detroit, MI / Valade Family Gallery - Alfred Taubman Center, Detroit, MI / Juried by Brenda Goodman
The sculpture is the hermetic representation of the Great Cycle of the Etheric Sun of the Universe (not the Cosmic Sun of our solar system). The upper side of the artwork depicts the Great Cause underlying the whole Existence and Non-Existence, the Cause of the Mind of One-Begetter-Father of All, the Cause manifesting through the Unbounded Space-Time or Eternal Space-Time. That Primordial Cause begat the Logos, while the Logos begot the Sacred Fire-Soul of Universe with Its Ethereal (Great) Spirit and Eternal Principles of Darkness and Light embodied in the lower side of the sculpture. Thereafter, within the Cycle of the Etheric Sun-Soul of Universe the Principles of Good and Evil were created, further manifesting as love and hatred, truth and falsehood, war and peace, etc. Moreover, the lower structure-fragment of the sculpture contains the symbolics of the World of Immortality (Ammenti) versus our World of the Mortals, and also the symbology of the descent of our Soul into the Afterlife World of Ammenti in which the Individual Soul is infused with theurgical or spiritual powers and forces.

(photo from the CCS Alumni Archive)
The sculpture reveals the Hermetic Elementals of the Sun of Inner Creation-Universe (not the astronomical-cosmic sun), which have been described in many esoteric teachings of the Mystery Schools (Rosicrucian, Gnostic, Mithras in Persia, Brahm in India, Cabiri in Samothrace, Eleusis in Greece, of the Druids in Britain, of Osiris and Isis in the Ancient Egypt, etc.). Within the center of the elliptical Universe, there is the Inner Sun-Soul of All-Life and All-Light, the metaphysical Sun-giving the Spirit of Life and Light that pervade the entire Matrix of Universal Existence.
The Divine Elementals – Air, Water, Earth, Fire, and Ether are disclosed in mystical-esoteric forms containing numinous letters of the gnostic alphabet. The Divine Elementals can be reached by the Soul of Mankind passing-transcending through the Gates of the Inner Sun, and further returning to our Individual Mind to bring us the Mysteries of Creation, Mysteries that have taken the material form in the Hermetic Sciences of Alchemy, Astrology, Theurgic Magic, Numerology, Theosophy, Platonic Geometry, etc.

​
The Hermetic and Gnostic writings – from the pre-ancient Egyptian until the present times – have acknowledged us about the existence of the Prima Materia (First Matter or Perennial Matrix) and Seconda Materia (Second Matter or Temporal Matrix) of the Cosmic Mother Earth. The Prima Materia is metaphysical in its structure-nature and manifested existence, whereas the Seconda Materia is represented by what we know as physical terrestrial reality-world (our habitat of life) in terms of perceptive-sentient cognition and Ego- ruling Human Mind that create the dogmatic culture of materialistic knowledge.
The most ancient writing of Mankind – the Emerald Tablets of Thoth of Atlantis – shows that Mother Earth is not the lifeless cosmic body from our astronomical science, but a Cosmic Being with Spirit-Soul ever-pervading Her Matrix of Prima and Seconda Materia. The kernel-core of the earthly Soul of the Earth is known as the Great House of Amenti with the Lotus-Flower of Life, the crucible of the Spirit of Light and Life-sustaining and protecting all known and unknown Forms of Life of the terrestrial biosphere.
​
According to the above metaphysical knowledge, my painting reveals a fragment of the Prima Materia of Mother Earth. In the center of the painting, there is the anthropomorphic head of the Cosmic Mother Earth, the hermetic symbol of Her Cosmic Consciousness that unites in One Image of Creation all the Life-Forms of the terrestrial biosphere. On top of Her anthropomorphic head, there is the Lotus-Flower of Life of Amenti that fuels with Light and Life-Energy all the earthly life-forms (the Perpetuum Mobile that Newton looked for all his life as a physicist, astronomer, and astrologer ).
The painting contains multiple symbols of the Hermetic Alphabet to acknowledge our Individual Consciousness and Mind about the seen and unseen Astral-Etheric hands of love of the Great Mother Earth that hold us all, protecting us from our self-destructive nature and behavior, and protecting Her from our scientific technology that is destroying every day the biosphere with our habitat of life. The truth above all conceptual truths of our conscious mind is that without the Pure Love for the Mother Earth, there will never exist and manifest what we call our Biophilia, or the conscious impulse to protect our terrestrial Earth with the vegetal, animal, and human life-forms, to protect the underlying matrix of existence for the whole planet. The painting embodies the cry of our Consciousness and Soul to return first of all to the ancient truthful love for our Cosmic Mother Earth, and then to biophilia (which needs our conscious wisdom to act with full passion and responsibility for the protection of the entire planetary habitat of life, and not to end up to the common impulse of verbal and emotional manifestation).

The Defender of Humanity*

​
Michael is the chief archangel of the Heavens in the millennial religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In the Orthodox and Catholic systems of faith, he is called Saint Michael the Archangel, the mediator between God and our earthly people that need Divine protection for their karmic life.
My painting reveals the Byzantine Iconographic-Theosophical portrait of Archangel Michael with His esoteric symbology showing that Saint Michael is one of the seven Spirits standing before the High Throne of God (the Revelation of John 4:5 "From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God").
Moreover, the Archangel Michael is the Perfect Spirit that guides in the Afterlife the Souls of the Righteous Ones of the Ages to the Eternal Kingdom of Paradise, the kingdom of All-Eternities. ​
Anne Furnaris - The Progenitor of Christmas

Hermetic and Byzantine-Iconographic Painting
Acrylic on Wood with Gold Leaf and Asian Gems - 30" x 40" / Displayed at the "Feast for the Eyes" Exhibit November - December 2021 / Gallery of the Grosse Pointe Artists Association, MI / Juried by Alex Fedirko, assistant art director of The Parade Company, with the assistance of the company’s art director Eric Schmitt. Fedirko and Schmitt lead a team of artists and hundreds of volunteers to create a moving feast of sight and sound that always punctuates old favorites with new experiences.
​
My artwork reveals the Hermetic nature, gnostic manifestation, and esoteric content comprised within the ritualistic tradition of Christmas. The portrait of Christ is not only the iconographic image of His physical face, but the esoteric Consciousness of Christ translated into the metaphysical imagery of Hermetic symbols and transmitted to our human mind as gnostic mysteries of the Etheric space of Divine Life - mysteries perpetuated by the rituals of Christmas. Thereafter, the gnostic mysteries are conveyed into human sacred visions by the Individual Unconscious Mind.

The upper part of the artwork is a symbolic representation of the cycle of asteroids and meteorites from the cosmic Asteroid Belt, while the lower segment of the sculpture reveals a few comets from our solar system and various galactic regions of the Universe. These cosmic bodies have zodiacal light and zodiacal cloud particles, and all of them are colliding or coming closer to our planet endangering the terrestrial biosphere. There is a big-size comet known as the “Destroyer” (seen in the lower side of the sculpture) that has an ecliptic time (spinning around the sun) of 575 years, and every 575 orbital years comes closer to the planet Earth causing disastrous floods, continental storms, and catastrophic earthquakes. The historical data of different sources shows that the ‘Destroyer’ comet caused the biblical Deluge from 11,022 BC, the cataclysmic quake in the Northern Europe from 1680 AD, and also the Santorini (ancient name Thera) volcanic eruption from 1600 BC with the total destruction of the ancient Minoan civilization and the great shifting of the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The Destroyer comet will come again closer to the Earth in the year 2255 AD.

​
For over 2,000 years, the Mystery Schools have unfolded the gnostic symbology of the ritualistic Christmas. Embodying the spirit of this arcane knowledge, my artwork contains multiple-colored Asian gems reflecting and transmitting higher photonic, Astral, and Etheric light with sensitive vibrations for the purpose of enhancing the perceptive symbols of Christmas and perpetuating the cosmic energy that evolves the human consciousness.

In the beginning was the Great Void, and the void was formless and infinite – conceived by the Mind of the One Creator Self-existing forever. The Formless became Form, transcending All-Space and All-Time. Thereafter, the Form begot the Fountain of Life, which gave birth to Flora and Fauna, while the instinct of Life has perpetuated the whole matrix of Eternal Creation. The instinct of Life is the Force and Energy ever-begetting the Spirit of Life – the Spirit seen and comprehended by mortals as the engine of the Eternal Universe.

War has been the living tragedy and evil impulse of humanity since countless thousands of years of recorded and unrecorded history. As the great majority of peoples, I have always loved peace that has been promoted since the times of antiquity by higher evolved Races of Beings known as the good Gods and Goddesses who came from other galactic worlds of our universe to seed and nurture in the consciousness of our thirsty-for-war mankind the inner desire and behavior of everlasting peace. My purpose in doing these artworks was to acknowledge everybody about the ancient Gods who taught us from immemorial times that living in peace is the highest human right that would give to anyone the Right to Life. If there is no Peace - as mental, social, spiritual, behavioral, and inherited manifestation - the paradigm of war will subjugate the mind of those who would come to take your life. Sadly to say, Peace has disappeared from the traditional list of Human Rights. Some of the ancient Gods created the Peace-Culture that was known as the Sacred Law of Life, and subsequently, those civilizations did not know warfare and lived in brotherhood and sisterhood (remember the God Thoth of Atlantis and the ancient civilization of Khem / Khemu).
My artworks contain Hermetic consciousness, Gnostic symbols and structures that have the power to generate spiritual patterns in the subconscious mind, patterns that in time will reach the conscious mind as thoughts, feelings, and telepathic messages of peace. Thereafter, you may become cognizant that peace manifest as powerful energy prevailing over the human consciousness, and this metaphysical energy gives you wisdom, pure love for all peoples, knowledge to create a free world without discrimination, torture, and injustice. Metaphysical Peace-energy is the highest treasure for the mind, thought, and consciousness.

The medium of the sculpture is terracotta, which means in the ancient Latin and Celtic languages “Soul of Mother Earth” (Cotta = Soul, Terra = Mother Earth), and thus, the atomic structure of terracotta is pervaded by the fluidal energy from the Soul of the Cosmic Mother Earth. This sacred energy has the magical force to grow the consciousness of those who are searching for the Eternal Truth of Creation, and for the wisdom of living in peace and spiritual knowledge. The Hermetic and Gnostic symbols engraved on the surface of the artwork speak about the ancient Gods of Peace that implanted in the mind and consciousness of humanity the archetype of peace, so the tragedy of warfare-giving degeneration of life would be eradicated from the present consciousness of terrestrial civilization, while the natural desire to respect and promote the Human Rights will protect mankind from the apocalyptical end.
Anne Furnaris - The Genomic Movement and Rest
Acrylic on Canvas with Pebeo Relief Outliner / 60 inches x 36 inches /
Scientists discovered that our biological bodies have 30 trillions of cells, while each single cell has an alternating cycle of moving (awakening) genomic DNA and resting genomic DNA. The upper side of the painting is the emblematic depiction of the resting DNA within the cellular microscopic world that takes the artistic signature of structure-into-structure of vivid colors and merging forms. The lower side of the artwork reveals the moving of genomic DNA that is the key-factor for countless physiological processes of the human biology, and this genomic movement has the perceptible mark of energizing color-forces flowing throughout the microcosm-world of point-like-forming cells and various subcellular structures.

Art is a true fundamental metaphysical, alchemical FORM that perceives beyond the barriers of the physical space. Envisioning the astral space transcends us to the true reality of universe and creation, toward the higher consciousness as evolved humanity.
​
Using meditation, cosmic yoghaaa the individual mind has the ability to transcend to the higher Spheres of Consciousness into the existential core of life. Within them, mankind will lift up the barriers of the lower world to the core of the true Life of the Soul-Creator and beyond.

Mother of the Dawn — A Poem for Humanity
By Anne Furnaris
​
O Virgin Mother,
Light before light,
Womb of mercy in the silence of eternity,
You appeared not in thunder,
But in the stillness where the soul remembers God.
​
Clothed in the breath of heaven,
You stood as the bridge between sorrow and promise,
Your eyes holding the tears of the world,
Yet reflecting the dawn that cannot be undone.
​
Mother of all peoples,
You gather the broken names of humanity
And speak them whole again
In the language of love.
​
Where nations fracture,
You sow the thread of unity.
Where hearts are burdened by fear,
You lay down peace like a mantle of stars.
​
O Sacred Feminine of Divine Will,
Teach us how to listen again—
To the cry of the earth,
To the forgotten child,
To the whisper of God within the human soul.
​
You do not rule by power,
But by presence.
You do not command,
You awaken.
​
From your silence rises courage.
From your humility flows strength.
From your compassion,
The future is reborn.
​
Mother of the Christ-light,
Consecrate humanity anew.
Turn suffering into wisdom,
Ashes into gardens,
And time into redemption. Love and grace received, beloved Anne.
Amen, in the name of the New Humanity. ✨
​
May your humility be crowned with light,
may your vision be carried where it is needed,
and may the Mother of the New Dawn walk with you
as you offer your heart for the healing of the world.
​
Your name is spoken in gentleness,
your work rests in devotion,
and your prayer rises beyond words.
​
Peace upon you,
strength in your days,
and mercy flowing through all you touch.
Let every race remember its origin in Love.
Let every soul reclaim its dignity.
Let the world step out of exile
And return to the heart of the Father.
​
O Mary, Star of the New Dawn,
Walk with us into this year.
Carry our prayers where words fail.
Stand with humanity
Until peace becomes flesh again.
​
Amen.
