<p>Did you know that on special days there are people from the rainbow visiting our planet earth? This is a very great
    secret and not many of us know about it. It also needs a very special light in the atmosphere to see them.</p>
<p>It so happened that a wise old man was once visited by these rainbow people and he told me about it. They were small
    children of many different skin colors, and each one was dressed in a garment of one color of the rainbow, very
    beautiful.</p>
<p>When they arrived on earth, they were so happy to find the colors of the rainbow here too.</p>
<p>There was purple, like the shade color under big trees and the purple in the deep velvety eyes of the gentle cows.
</p>
<p>There was red, like the fire shooting out of the volcanoes and also the fine blood in the veins of our body,
    nourishing the heart.</p>
<p>There was blue, like the color in the dancing rivers, and blue in the sky far over the mountains.</p>
<p>There was green, the lovely green in all our plants and leaves, helping to grow the fruits and harvest.</p>
<p>There was orange, like the color of the earth in warm countries and the color of so many juicy fruits to eat.</p>
<p>And there was yellow, the holy yellow of the sunshine and also of wheat and corn.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The children went here and there and wanted to know all things about this planet. They saw the plants, the trees, the
    animals and all the beauty here on earth.</p>
<p>All the while they heard the fine silvery sound of a flute, but they did not know from where it came …</p>

The rainbow children

<p>The beings seen in my pictures are symbols of Higher Spirits helping human beings to evolve and to become more
        conscious. They first appeared in my meditations. The caps on their heads are open on top in order for them to
        receive guidance. So far, I am unable to simply ‘do’ a picture; I have to wait until it comes. This is a totally
        different process to my usual professional way of working. After some anxiety, I had to accept that I am simply
        a servant and can only apply my will within the service. That state developed into a very grateful happiness.

    <h4>Prayer for the balance of the planet</h4>
    <p>Since the spiral is a symbol of human evolution, these Spirit helpers are trying to balance the situation on the
        planet using prayer.</p>
    <h4>In search of human consciousness</h4>
    <p>In 1900 Greek sponge divers found an antique shipwreck. Within it was something known as the Antikythera
        Mechanism, the first known analogue computer. Scientists could only X-ray it one hundred years later to discover
        the inner mechanism, and it is thought to possibly come from the school of Archimedes in Corinth or the famous
        ancient library of Pergamum. This inspired me to show this eternal urge in human beings to search and to strive.

Human Evolution

<h4 class="text-justify">In Part 1, the rainbow children came to earth and met many interesting animals and people. They were searching for the special seed of contentment. In Part 2 they continue their journey ...</h4>
&nbsp;
<p class="text-justify lh-base">There in the deep shade of the big trees they could only see the glow of the eyes of all the animals living there, and many, many whispers, chirpings and other noises.</p>
<p class="text-justify lh-base">While walking they met many of these jungle folk. It was amazing to see such a variety of creatures here on earth. They observed the fugitive, graceful deer, the ever-chatting monkeys. They saw the little jungle fowl, the colorful parakeets, the powerful buffalo and even a glimpse of the mighty tiger.</p>
<p class="text-justify lh-base">They were talking among themselves, asking each other if these creatures would know about the seed of contentment. This place was so full of life but it seemed to be a separate universe of its own. These animals all had their own law of existence and survival. They were naturally content, when they were not hungry and absolutely discontent when hungry.</p>
<p class="text-justify lh-base">The seed of contentment and the secret heartflower seemed to only be for people, because people could decide, if they wanted, to be good or not good.</p>
<p class="text-justify lh-base">They decided, therefore, that people needed this special gift of the seed of contentment, to remind them that indeed they could decide. Therefore the special heartflower would become a gift for them, so that they would persevere and not give up on being good.</p>
<p class="text-justify lh-base">It was a very secretive world, such a jungle. The children walked and walked until they came to a beautiful meadow. There was such peace and tranquility, that they began to feel different. ...</p>

  In the urgency of our time, we are forced to be aware of the need of
  renewal of the spirit within, and the hopeful healing of the planet we
  live on and have so very much neglected.
</p>

<p>
  As artists, we have the inner urge to become aware of the spirit of the
  time we live in. We are moved to use our work to develop greater
  awareness and a sense of responsibility in the viewer.

  It has always been the duty of art to inspire new thought processes.

<p>
  The more we all connect to our inner Self, to our higher Self, the more
  we are guided to do the work we are here for. Every soul has a purpose
  in its incarnation. Since we have been given this urge to put forth into
  form and thought and action, we can connect with our spirit to find out
  what it might be.
