15-The Spiritual Artist with Christopher Miller

In this episode, Christopher (CJ) Miller and I had an interesting conversation about the intersection of art and spirituality. Christopher is a painter, a student of spirituality, and an author and speaker on the subject of being a spiritual artist. He wrote the book The Spiritual Artist: We Are Designed to Create which was published in 2020. It is about his journey to becoming a full-time painter, which happened in 2020, and his parallel journey into spirituality. We began and ended the conversation by agreeing that we’re all artists and, in fact as his book subtitle says, we are designed to create (whether we’ve awoken to that truth or not). We talked briefly about love, and he said this: “When we’re in a state of love, we’re better able to the voice of Spirit talking to us.” Love is key to spiritual awakening because it is a state of presence or consciousness. He said: “Every person is unique because of the spirit within us – which is that spark of God which is our essence.” In whatever we do, whether it is in the arts or not, we express that essence. And CJ believes that being in touch with that inner spirit can help us be better creators and artists, but also our inner artist can help us get in touch with our spiritual nature. He pointed out that his book offers many different tips on accessing creative inspiration, including how to allow spirit to work with us in the doing. But he pointed out that being is just as important as whatever we’re doing. You can learn more about him at SpiritualArtistToday.com, and you can find him on TikTok at @spiritualartist123.

Love yourself always, and choose to awaken!
