Creative Codex

Hilma af Klint's paintings are not an intellectual exercise in abstraction, they are symbolic works encoded with specific spiritual messages.
What are the spiritual messages encoded in her artworks? Can they be deciphered? Was Hilma part of a Rosicrucian Order?
We will also make an in depth exploration of Hilma's most infamous series: The Ten Largest. What is it about The Ten Largest which makes it a work of genius? And how does Hilma tell the story of the 'life of the soul' through it?

Dr. Carl Jung wrote that around the age of 35 we enter "the shadow side of life". Nowadays we call it a midlife crisis, but to Jung, it's a call from the depths of your soul—an invitation for the journey inward. Will you answer the call?Support my work and the Creative Codex vision on Patreon, where you can gain access to my Red Book Reading series, along with all my Creativity Tip minisodes, the Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain series: https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian∞∞∞∞∞Note on the imagery used in the video:
