I read a book about two years ago by a journalist that took a year of his life and toured the country to research expanding consciousness and compare different spiritual schools. I don’t’ remember the title of the book. In one of the first chapters he took a drawing class where the book “Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain” was used. I think the journalist went to learn directly from the author of the drawing book. One concept from the book he talked about was “negative space”. For example, draw a chair but drawing what is not there instead of what is there.

After reading about negative space, I went to Las Vegas for work. It was race week so all of the less expensive hotels were full and my colleague and I had to stay downtown on the strip.

One night we had dinner at Paris, Las Vegas. Earlier we had viewed some impressionist art on display. While waiting for dinner to arrive, my friend was enjoying a glass of wine and soaking up the atmosphere. We weren’t talking, just relaxing and observing. The place was decorated in a very impressionistic style of color and lighting, very soft and warm, and a little blurry.

As I focused on the colors and vastness of the indoor restaurants and shopping areas, my consciousness began to shift. I thought of negative space. I focused on the space between my eyes and the objects I was observing. The air began to get thick. It took on a weight, a feeling of its own… a feeling of space, a frequency. Time began to pass differently… to slow. When my friend finally talked, it felt like each sentence took minutes for him to utter aloud.

I think the mix of people, impressionism, space, negative space, and soft lighting caused me to shift to state of mind called the In-Between. I don’t know why this state is called the In-Between. Perhaps because you are in between being human and being connected to God. I have never found any other spiritual teachers that talk about this state of mind. I only know about it because of the class “The In-Between”. Eventually the meal arrived and eating caused me to ground back down. But this was one of the first times I began to delve into the spiritual meaning of frequency.

It was also on this trip that I began to appreciate impressionism for the first time. I realized that the Gaia mind was using the artists to partially convey on canvas what the world looked like from an In-Between state.
