Forms Fading

Description
This painting is dedicated to my sister Velvet as her body is dissolving from cancer. I started painting it as the thought just came to me from seeing a photo of the ice and how I instantly saw so many forms and animals in it melting away. Upon starting to paint my sister got worse and is now taking her last breaths which made me reflect on the body dissolving and this painting seemed so appropriate with the ice melting transforming into formless water.
Death is a great opportunity because death is one way in which the formless dimension comes into this life. It�s precisely at the moment of the fading of the form, that the formless comes into this life. But if that is not accepted, and the fading of form is denied, then it�s a missed opportunity.
As people around you pass away, you become increasingly aware of your own mortality. The body will dissolve. Many people still, in our civilization, they deny death. They don�t want to think about it, don�t want to give it any attention.
There is enormous potential there for spiritual flowering. Even in people who, up to the point of the beginning of the fading of the form, were completely identified with the form. It�s your last chance in this incarnation, as your body begins to fade � or you are becoming aware of this limited lifespan. It�s your last chance to go beyond identification with form. This is true whether it�s to do with your body, or somebody else�s body.
In the proximity of death, there is always that grace hiding underneath the seemingly negative event. Death in our civilization is seen as entirely negative, as if it shouldn�t be happening. Because it�s denied, people are so shocked when somebody dies � as if it�s not possible.
As the consciousness is changing, I feel that more and more death will become an important part of the evolutionary process, the process of the arising consciousness on our planet.
At any age, the form can dissolve. Even if you are very young, you may encounter death close to you. At any age, it is extremely helpful to become familiar with, or comfortable with, the impermanence of the physical form.
