PORTFOLIO
MARGARET ASTRID PHANES
From 1973-1989, I completed a series in Agni Yoga meditation training. From 1991-2026, I continue to study the teachings of Integral Yoga. I chose a light-based medium of creative expression to record my meditation and consciousness studies.
Illustration and photo-editing software are tools of a light-based medium. My work explores endless transparency, overlays, and shape replication. This ongoing exploration of a light-based medium allowed me to develop an expanded color and shape library. In this portfolio, meditation, inspiration, and vision are central to the work
"DAWN OF FLAME-BEINGS"
Mythology of a Cosmology
Abstract concepts materialize powers, forces, and entities integral to the history and future of the earth and cosmos.
PSYCHIC-JIVATMAN
"The Psychic Being"
"The Jivatman is above the manifestation...and presides over it; the psychic being stands behind the manifestation...and supports it."
A CONSCIOUS NEW YEAR
"A New Year 2026"
The New Year revealing its new perceptions and energies.
A New Year Meditation
OBSERVE EARTH ETERNAL
Dawn of Flame-Beings
Her eyes are caretakers of the evolution of Light on this planet. The Eternal Eye is also present in the Light on Earth
STILLNESS IN LIGHT
"Musings in Light"
Light, containing All, may move infinitely fast and exist in stillness. In stillness some of the eternal of Light is revealed.
DEATHLESS SUN

"She came out where there shone a deathless sun. A house was there all made of flame and light."
