Mahatmas n.º 7

In ancient times, priests and magicians interpreted dreams for souls who could not see. These were the shamans or mahatmas, who made use of the Earth's elements alongside the signs of the Sun, the moon, and the stars. All of Hilma's abstract images are born under such a trance, in which she adopts a passive attitude and limits herself to receiving messages. The spirits come from the astral world and are described as brilliant lights that distribute love and gratitude. They identify themselves as Gregory, Amaliel, and Ananda.

We abandon dense chromaticism to concentrate on the essential. Because, when the content is so emphatic, the rest is superfluous. Take, for example, this circle divided into two halves, one light and one dark. Here, the darkness has turned electric blue and the light, silver. Hilma lives through the years of the discovery of X-rays and radio waves, invisible forces that validated what she already intuited. This blue is that of a spark, that of an energy that cannot be seen but is felt. And the two are mirrored, so that light leaps from one half to the other like a current. Is this how messages are transmitted?
