New Realities, June 23, 2009
In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld speaks with artist and teacher Meriel Gold about her drawing process, 'Drawn Home.' Meriel discusses her journey from a conventional painter driven by the desire to succeed, to discovering art as an intimate language of feeling and connection. She explains how drawing can help people bypass the conditioned mind and tap into the 'quietness' or essential mystery of being. Together, they explore the true purpose of art, the nature of consciousness as it seeks to experience itself through the manifest world, and how returning to the body's simple sensations can heal the wounded self and reunite us with our deep, shared humanity.
New Realities
New Realities has been the leading edge, new Consciousness cable program broadcast from New York for the last 12 years. The series is hosted & produced by Alan Steinfeld. I firmly believe that – ‘A mind stretched to new realities never returns to its original dimension.’ - Alan Steinfeld New Realities is dedicated to exploring evolving human potentials in an evolving world. This series explores the idea of how to become more conscious beings. We present programs that invite the viewer to look at automatic behaviors and take free reign of their body, mind and spirit so that we can hope to inhabit and create a better world.
This program is constantly on the look out for new and different perspectives in achieving a greater and more peaceful reality for the planet. It is about embracing a synthesis of rational understanding with mystical awareness. We must continually be on watch for ways in which we may enlarge our consciousness. We must not attempt to limit our slice of the world, which is given us, but we must somehow learn how to transform it and transfigure it.
