New Spiritual Paradigm

The New Spiritual Paradigm. The coming of every new era requires its spiritual mouthpieces. Today, on the brink of two millenniums, witnessing the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, the Earth planet is being influenced by the new energy giving a tremendous impact towards the change of human consciousness, the change of scientific and spiritual paradigms. Fulfilling their predestination, the spiritual leaders of the planet - writers, composers, artists - persons deriving information from above, are carrying it to the people by means of their works of art. That is the way it has always been. Among such channels were Leonardo da Vinci, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and others. Today Omar Chkaidze is such a channel. After the year of 2000 Omar's painting manner and style critically changed. He is breaking away from his attachment to the object, shape, which helps him to freely carry the vision of the Universe's spiritual world. He has always said: "The time will come and I will have my word". And this time has come. His paintings may seem to somebody as some meaningless strokes of the paintbrush on a bright background. While for the dedicated - these are the letters from Home, full of sacred sense, carrying on recovery, enlightenment and love.
