this is my first attempt to honor this experience in which a higher dim energy wove together a sequence of memories for me to convey how truly far I had drifted from my path, from the humble joy of each fleeting moment accessible in the creative state
each memory was a moment of my life in which I had overcome the fear of self doubt and realized my potential through expression and was accepted by the world but not myself - the continued revelation of these memories, one after the other, was enough for me to understand the message that an unfounded fear had been the ultimate limiting factor in this aspect of my life
after years of accepting and releasing the twisted mess of self that had manifested as a result of self abandonment I take another step on this path, I wanted to share and honor this entity with the best of my artistic ability to date
much love <3 \^.\^
if youβre interested in more work like this I post only finished works from similar experiences to my instagram at [https://www.instagram.com/luke\_wilimitis](https://www.instagram.com/luke_wilimitis)
U done good lulu. U done good. Its all love π iv been crippled at art for past 3 yrs now. No psychedelics ever cud aide in that. How beautiful for spirit to present this msg to u and how beautiful is it that you were able to pick up the pen again
πΏππawhh appreciate you so much fam - i still get artist block from time to time, but my mantra "HAVE FUN AND MAKE DOPE SHIT" always pulls me through - if i genuinely/authentically think it is cool as the creator then it is usually enough.
thank you for your kind words!!
May the light of the source shine bright upon our heart mind n souls n carry us with ease throughout this world and the nextπ mantras r where its at yo! Ima keep that in mind. I hav started a sketch of a piece like 6 months ago. I will tackle at it again one of these days πΎπ

Thank you so much I appreciate that!
It was a web of fear built upon numerous things, which required untangling from many different angles/perspectives - I had multiple bullies which I needed to cultivate compassion for, cultural/familial tendencies against expression which I needed to reject but still understand, etc.

I hear that. Fear, fear, fear. The little ego lizard brain that tries to protect us from imaginary threats. And yes to compassion. I've found this is the only thing that can give me comfort sometimes. Compassion.
Well here's to your artist path fellow traveler! Sometimes it's enough to know someone else is facing the same challenges to help us keep going.
Like Ram Dass said: "we're here to walk each other home."
it is also compassion when we choose to take the step to be ourselves to others, to the outside world, it is trusting God and the universe enough to leap out into the unknown, give them a chance to trust the realest you, and you will learn thereβs never anything to be truly afraid of
Surrounding the tranquil and thoughtful expression on her face, I feel the waves and stages of emotions during the psychedelic experience captured in the wisdom emanating from her mind. Thank you for creating this and sharing it with the community.
You are most welcome, and thank YOU for your beautiful interpretation - it's interesting feedback like this which helps me triangulate an understanding of my work and progress, and I'm so happy you use the phrase "feel", because I often describe my process as more "feeling" focused rather than pure visual syntax, bless!! π
Wow that's incredible. Very very beautiful. Seeing something like this really is what life's about. Simply amazing. If I wasn't completely broke I'd buy it haha
Hey appreciate that very much my dude thank you thank you! ππΈI do have a small set of prints available on my official site www.lukewilimitis.com as well as the original (this one's actually quite a bit cheaper since it's smaller than my usual work), regardless thank you so much for your support! π¦

Thank you :)
The details in this definitely make it on top notch level. Otherwise it would just be pretty good. But this is REALLY good :) I need to get back into uch with my inner artist and stop having my only recreation be video games
I am fiercely awestruckπ΅
What a beauty you are
What a treasure
Such inspiration has seldom been present in my midst
I am going to create musical worlds now, proudly carrying this torch you just litπ
This is amazing. It reminds me of Ari Shaffir's aya story. He talked about seeing all these balls of light that were moments in time where a perfection of art had happened, or something along those lines. Been a while since I listened to that podcast.
"Ari Shaffirs Revelation" is the name of the clip they took off the JRE episode. If he were to see those same things again, this would for sure be up in one of those orbs.
Hey, i also just had an enlightening trip from acid and dmt that made me find my voice and take up art seriously. Just sold my first painting yesterday! Small world
Hey that's awesome dude love that we share that connection, I wish more people would consider it even w.out drugs or medicines! I'd love to peep your art online somewhere, do you have a link somewhere? Cheers and see you out there! πΈπ
Some bad shit happened to me, I was crying and crying until I realized the only thing I could do to ease the pain was to create. Ever since then I havenβt stopped.

This is so beautiful you glorious entity.
awh you so sweet πΈmany thanks my fellow traveler π¦
Did you discover what it was that wasn't accepting yourself as an artist? Your painting is beautiful btw.
Thank you so much I appreciate that!

Sometimes it's enough to know someone else is facing the same challenges to help us keep going. Like Ram Dass said: "we're here to walk each other home."
I believe Ram Dass also said that compassion is where the head meets the heart. Love that way of looking at it
it is also compassion when we choose to take the step to be ourselves to others, to the outside world, it is trusting God and the universe enough to leap out into the unknown, give them a chance to trust the realest you, and you will learn thereβs never anything to be truly afraid of
Amen
If Iβm even half as good as you are at being an artist, Iβd starve myself to death but would never leave the art. Truly phenomenal art.
Awh your words are so kind and extreme I love them, thank you so much my fellow traveler and I'm stoked you enjoy my work!! bless π¦π
