Toby
Negus, author and illustrator of The Heart Knows What the Mind Cannot
See, has created a collection of lyrical inspirational prose messages
coupled with colorful and mesmerizing symbolic illustrations that
speak to the soul.
The
author has continued his exploration of the most transformational
psychospiritual concepts that lie deeply within all humans, bringing
the wisdom of heart and soul into the light for our minds to connect
with and grow from. He weaves his messages through a variety of
topics, including love, freedom, choice, truth, self-awareness, the
now moment, healing, peace, and most importantly, the role of the
heart and soul in enlightening humanity’s journey on Planet Earth.
Connections are made among these concepts to help readers make the
same connections in order to find peace in their own lives.
As
an artist, the author takes his ethereal subject matter, fuses it
with the colors and shapes presented by his own spiritual muse, and
gives the reader a visceral inner transformation through symbol,
intense color, and cosmic shape.
Heart and Soul creates a deep and beautiful immersion for the reader into their own heart’s beautiful depths.
Excerpt:
When we love
To love is in our very nature; we become a distraught apparition of life without its presence.
But when we love the heavens open. And the deeper we love, the deeper the peace.
There is no end to the depths that can be sought. There is no limitation to what may be when we love.
Love has been the saving grace of humanity and is the source of so much of the world’s greatness, for all the beauty in the world has been born from the idea of love. Its presence has inspired great leaders, holy people, artists, and writers to create the lights that have guided our journey on Earth .
And we, in our own way, have a part in this great endeavour.
In our effort to give expression to the love we carry, the power of light we create from our struggle and our joy is never lost, for no light is ever forgotten. It is cherished by Creation and becomes part of its eternal story.
What we love is no coincidence, those loves are urges from the soul that give guidance to our path in life.
The wishes of love that are held in the heart are not fairy tales for the lonely. They are gifts from the soul, echoes of the soul’s longing for communion with life.
Our loves guide us to moments of deep nourishment where we may rest in the comfort of sanctuary.
These great loves are not like the shallow love of convenience that puts to sleep our passion, but they are like the love that ignites our vision and unlocks our authentic power of action.
They are bridges that take us beyond the mundane into the great unknown: adventures with our future self that will always bring happiness.
This call of love will not be satiated. We may try to quench its thirst with ‘things’ or put it to sleep with indulgence but, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, we will still hold a wish of love.
If we do not love we become a ghost in life, an apparition with no heart. So, the search for the love of our heart is our sacred purpose.
It is a unique portion of Creation that is ours alone to make known, for there can be no comparison, no reference outside of us for its key. Our wish to love is the only key.
It is in the endeavour to bring love into the light of day, to give it space on earth, that has created so many of the heroic qualities of the human spirit, lights that although born from ourselves and intimately personal, are also profound.
They augment the fabric of human consciousness and become part of the thousands of years that have created the story of humanity’s journey on Earth.
