Based on Edgar Cayce reading 4071 -1
Matthew was convinced that what he was reading had something to do with him, but he wasn't quite sure what. He was intrigued by the idea of a creative spiritual potential that existed in everyone. For several months he wondered how this idea applied to him and his art work. He finally decided he was not being as creative as he could be.
He went back to square one with his style of art. He began experimenting with design, color, and subject matter. He took risks in abandoning his established style and in sharing his new approach with his friends. He found he had to ignore many comments and not be self-conscious about the criticisms he was receiving. He did what he had to do.
This led him to new stages of growth at times, but he never felt as if he could put all the pieces together into a new style. It took twelve years of struggle, but he finally found himself in a summer art class that helped him pull together all his ideas and years of experimenting.
The time spent working with his talent and the belief in his own creative potential finally led him to his unique artistic style.
APPLICATION: Name an area of your life which has creative potential. Do something to express the creativity you have within you.
