The Pilgrim represents my return to spirituality after having abandoned it for almost 20 years. It was the seventh or eighth painting I created at the ashram where I had gone to learn and heal. The pilgrim is standing on one of the vast amethyst crystals used as the power sources of Atlantean civilization. They were the size of small mountains. In my imagination, this is the shattered remains of the crystal that first started the cascade that eventually destroyed Atlantis.
In the sky outside is a vision of my god looking into the cave expectantly, delighted at my return. The god appeared utterly by coincidence - another case of spontaneous apparition. I was scumbling the sky to produce cloud textures and when I pulled away the rag, his face was fully formed - the right eye, the outline of the face, the nose & mouth and the left eye cavity (I painted in the left eye).
Years later I discovered it to be the likeness of one of the movement Ekancar's spiritual masters long passed from this life.
