welcome your art is a spell and it will
change your life and the world around
you the Pentagon has confirmed the existence of
UFOs Government research programs have documented
telepathy indigenous wisdom Traditions have always
known that Consciousness permeates everything and
as artists we're at the Forefront of a massive
paradigm shift in how Humanity understands reality
itself I'm Edgar Fabian Frias and welcome to Your
Art Is A Spell today we're exploring nonlinear
psychic collaboration the profound concept
that your creative work can transcend time and
space connecting with Consciousness across all
dimensions if you've ever felt your art coming
through you rather than from you or experienced
uncanny synchronicities this episode will give you
the framework to understand these experiences
and intentionally harness this power in your
creative practice so take a deep breath open your
heart and let's journey together together into a
reality where time is not linear and where we are
all connected and where your art can literally
change the fabric of all existence let's start
by acknowledging something important the dominant
Western worldview has trained us to believe that
time is linear that it moves in One Direction
that physical reality is all that there is and
that we exist as separate individuals isolated
in our own Consciousness this materialist World
viiew tells us that if we can't measure it it is
not real if we can't prove it in a laboratory then
it's just in your imagination this perspective has
been incredibly useful for the development of
technological and scientific discovery but it
has also severely limited our understanding
of Consciousness Connection and creativity
the truth is that this narrow world view is not
Universal indigenous cultures across the planet
have maintained cosmologies that recognize
the inherent Consciousness in all beings
many Traditions understand time as cyclical
rather than linear quantum physics has begun
to suggest that Consciousness itself might be
fundamental to reality not just an emerging
property of our brains as artists we have
a unique responsibility to challenge these
dominant narratives when we create from a place
of deep listening to our intuition to the world
around us to the subtle energies that connect all
things we become channels for new ways of being
and seeing indigenous cosmologies from Australia
to the Americas and even to Africa all share a
common thread the understanding that all beings
human animal plant Stone star are relatives that
Consciousness permeates everything the Lakota
phrase Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ which means All of My
Relations captures this beautifully the concept
of the country in Aboriginal Australian Traditions
speaks to the Consciousness that is living
within land itself these are not metaphors
or poetic devices they're literal truths about
the nature of reality and Western science is
only beginning to catch up with these truths when
I talk about nonlinear psychic collaboration I'm
drawing deeply from these Traditions while
acknowledging that as a queer indigenous
and Latine person working within a western
context I have so much to learn but I'm also
drawing from direct experience because once you
start opening up to these possibilities reality
itself starts to shift I want to share a couple
of personal experiences that have really shaped my
understanding of nonlinear psychic collaboration
these are not just theoretical concepts for me
they're lived realities that have fundamentally
changed how I have approach my art and my life so
the first Story begins when I was living at home
with my parents I had just moved there from the
bay it was a moment of transition and I started
to have dreams that a crystal was calling me in
the Mountain near my parents' home I told my
partner about these dreams and he was really
excited and said let's go to the mountain to see
if we find some crystals and as you would imagine
we found a lot of crystals there were a lot of
magical moments but it was one specific moment
that really opened up something that has changed
my life forever one of these crystals sent me a
message as I was cleaning it and I'm touching here
in my head if you're watching this on YouTube you
can see I felt this message here in the top
of my forehead and I remember seeing images
of structures of Energies I did not know what
these meant but I remember hearing the message
that I needed to talk with my father about this
message I shared it with him and to my surprise
he told me that my grandfather used to also speak
with crystals and that he would tell my dad that
crystals sometimes have ancestors inside of them
and that they will call you in your dreams this
sent a deep shiver through my whole body as my
father had no idea about the dreams I had been
having of this Crystal calling me in the mountains
it was from this conversation that for the first
time ever my dad shared about our indigenous
ancestry he shared that we are Wixárika and
that in our tradition we connect with plants
with animals with crystals with stones and this
was so validating for me as someone who has had
countless experiences of connecting with animals
plants crystals Stones minerals clouds water I've
connected with so many beings and this really just
affirms something that was already inside of me
this was one of the most profound experiences
I've had of a nonlinear psychic collaboration
happening across time and space but I've also
had a lot of experiences where other people
have come to me and connected with me and we
we've realized that we've been working together
long before we physically met or at times even
without speaking verbally in this dimension for
example last year I created a UFO that was placed
in downtown Los Angeles if you're on YouTube you
can watch a video about this UFO here I will also
be sharing it in the podcast notes as well and I
found out later that the same time that I had had
the vision to create a UFO to place in a public
space that would hold the prayers and intentions
of the community another artist who was living on
the East Coast that I did not know personally was
also called to create a UFO that would hold the
prayers of people and to place it in a public
space this artist is named Petra Szilágyi and I'm
actually hoping to invite them to come on a future
episode of Your Art Is A Spell to talk about this
Divine synchronicity that we experience together
these aren't just coincidences they're examples
of what I call a nonlinear psychic collaboration
the reality that Consciousness can and does
connect across time and space we're literally
meeting in dream space in the astral in what
some traditions might call the akashic field
we're co-creating across dimensions and once you
start noticing these connections they multiply
reality begins to reveal itself as more fluid far
more responsive to Consciousness than we've been
taught to believe you might be thinking this all
sounds a bit out there but here's where things
get really interesting science and government
institutions are increasingly acknowledging the
reality of phenomena that were once dismissed as
impossible the pentagon's UFO disclosure program
now called the unidentified aerial phenomena
task force has confirmed the reality of crafts
performing Maneuvers that defy our understanding
of physics in 2023 The Whistleblower David Grusch
testified before Congress about the retrieval of
nonhuman craft and biological specimens this isn't
fringe conspiracy anymore it's being discussed in
mainstream media and in government hearings even
more relevant to our discussion of nonlinear
psychic collaboration are the Declassified
documents about government psychic research
programs you heard that right the government
has underground psychic research programs project
Stargate which ran from the 1970s to the 1990s
studied remote viewing the ability to psychically
perceive distant locations the research was
promising enough that the program ran for
decades and remote viewers are still employed by
corporations and government agencies to this day
in 2022 The Institute of noetic Sciences published
research showing evidence for precognition the
ability to sense future events before they occur
this directly relates to the nonlinear aspect of
psychic collaboration I'm discussing in Silicon
Valley there's an increasing interest in what
are called psionic assets leveraging intuitive
and psychic cap capacities for business Advantage
it sounds like science fiction but it's happening
now all of this points to something indigenous
Traditions have always known Consciousness is
not formed in the brain it permeates reality and
can influence events across space and time two
podcasts that I've been listening to recently that
have resurfaced my passion for and understanding
of nonlinear psychic collaboration have been in
first The Telepathy Tapes by Ky Dickens which
explores something absolutely mindblowing
nonverbal autistic children who communicate
telepathically across time and space Dickens
documents cases where these children who may not
even speak verbally and describe the same meeting
places they visit together in non-physical reality
they report identical details about these spaces
despite never having verbally communicated about
them the podcast presents compelling evidence that
these children access forms of Consciousness that
most neurotypical people have forgotten how to
utilize it challenges our fundamental assumptions
about communication suggesting that spoken
language might actually be limiting compared
to the direct telepathic abilities these children
demonstrate second is Third Eye Drops hosted by
Michael Phillips this podcast has also been a
big inspiration it brilliantly brings together
scientists philosophers Mystics and artists to
explore the frontiers of Consciousness episodes
feature deep conversations on plant intelligence
parapsychology research technology and religious
experience and high strangeness what I love about
third eye drops is how it Bridges the gap between
scientific rigor and spiritual wisdom without
sacrificing either both of these podcasts have
profoundly expanded my understanding of what is
possible and I highly recommend them again I will
be sharing them in the notes so what exactly do I
mean by nonlinear psychic collaboration it's the
understanding that we can exist and create outside
of conventional limits of time and space that your
Consciousness right now is in conversation with
your past and future selves that when you make art
you're not just creating for the present moment
you're sending messages backward and forward in
time along the spirals of time it is a recognition
that there are ancestors both those who have lived
before and those who have yet to be born who are
actively collaborating with you sending guidance
inspiration and support the awareness that when
you put your art out into the world it creates
ripples through Consciousness that cannot be
measured or Quantified but are nonetheless real
and profound this perspective shifts everything
about how we approach creativity it's no longer
just about self-expression or making a product
it becomes a sacred Act of communication across
Dimensions your paintbrush or pen or your voice
becomes a tool for bending reality itself when
you create from this understanding you're not
just making art you're casting spells that can
literally rewrite the past and shape the future
your intentions become woven into the fabric of
reality and in this certain and often frightening
time that we're living in this knowledge isn't
just interesting it's essential it's a source
of profound hope and empowerment because if
Consciousness can affect reality if time is
actually fluid rather than fixed then nothing
is determined everything is possible we are
not helpless observers of a declining world
we are active co-creators of reality itself I
want to emphasize something really important
while the concepts I'm describing have roots in
many Traditions I'm particularly interested in
exploring them through queer trans and BIPOC
perspective our communities have always had
to navigate realities beyond the dominant
Paradigm when you exist outside of societal
Norms you develop what Gloria Anzaldúa called
La Facultad a heightened sensitivity to subtle
energies and unseen Dimensions the wisdom of my
community the Wixárika people of Mexico offers
profound insights into nonlinear existence in our
tradition we understand the world through Nierikas
sacred portals or passageways between different
dimensions of reality our yarn paintings and bead
work aren't just art they're actual doorways
through which communication with ancestors and
deities becomes possible in Wixárika cosmology
dreams aren't just subconscious processing
they're literal visits into other Realms where we
receive knowledge and guidance just like I shared
about my experience with dreams similarly
nonbinary Visionaries like Alok Vaid Menon
remind us that transcending binaries is not just
about gender it's about existence itself as Alok
beautifully writes the binary is a prison of
the imagination once we break free from it we
realize that reality has always been more complex
more interdependent more magical than we've been
taught non-binary existence self is a form of
magic a lived reality that challenges fundamental
Western assumptions about identity being fixed and
singular as Alok points out in a world obsessed
with boxes existing Beyond them is revolutionary
this perspective on transcending binaries applies
powerfully to how we understand time space and
collaboration queer and trans folks have always
understood that our identities transcend physical
form we've experienced first hand how intention
and belief can literally reshape reality the
act of transition itself is a powerful example
of Consciousness affecting physical form BIPOC
communities have maintained traditional knowledge
systems despite centuries of colonial oppression
these Traditions offer profound insights into
non-ordinary States Of Consciousness
and alternative cosmologies I believe
we need these perspectives now more than ever
the materialist patriarchal Colonial worldview
has brought us to the brink of ecological collapse
it's time to listen to those who have maintained
other ways of knowing this is why I'm extending
an open invitation to the community I want to
connect with folks who are exploring UFOs psychic
phenomenon witchcraft remote viewing ANIMISM
indigenous cosmologies especially those coming
from queer trans and bipoc perspectives if that's
you or someone that you know that is doing this
work please reach out let's collaborate in all
Dimensions because this moment we're living
through as scary and uncertain as it is it is
also incredibly powerful and transformative we
are witnessing the dissolution of the old old
system and the emergence of new possibilities and
as artists we have a unique role to play Within
this transition so what does this all mean for you
as an artist or as a creative person it means that
your art matters now more than ever when you
create with intention when you listen deeply
to the messages coming through when you open
yourself to collaboration across Dimensions your
participating in the great work of reimagining
reality itself it means that you can talk to
your future self ask for guidance and support
you can plant seeds in your work that will be
discovered by your past self in a beautiful
temporal Loop you can reclaim any feelings of
hopelessness or helplessness and recognize your
profound power as a creator of reality this is
one of the core reasons that I started this
podcast to invite you into this conversation
and into this reality where magic is real where
our conversations with Spirits ancestors aliens
Angels are genuine encounters with other forms
of Consciousness I want you to try something
with me right now wherever you are close your
eyes if it's safe to do so take take a deep
breath now imagine yourself your future self
one year from today they're looking back at this
moment at the art you're creating now what message
do they have for you what do they want you to know
just listen for a
moment that voice that feeling that knowing that's
nonlinear psychic collaboration happening right
now your future self is reaching back through
time to guide you in the coming episodes we'll
explore more practical techniques for working
with with these Concepts we'll talk about
specific practices for opening your psychic
channels for communicating across dimensions
for imbuing your art with powerful intentions
but for now I invite you to Simply hold this
possibility that your art is literally
changing the fabric of reality that you
are in conversation with beings across time and
space that the message is coming through your
creativity are a part of a vast beautiful
collaboration that transcends our limited
understanding of what is possible thank you
for journeying with me if this resonates
with you please share it with someone
who might need to hear it and remember
no matter what your art is a spell and it
will change your life and the world around
