The Journey Within

About this drawing
The drawing, "The Journey Within," came within my
mind, body, spirit and soul during the restless night of
February 22nd, 2002.
I was asleep and awoke experiencing pain in my lower back
which was causing me great discomfort. Glancing at the bedroom
clock I saw it was 12:05 am. Something within my being said
"Take out pencils and begin to draw."
Thinking I had merely been in a dream state I rolled over and
tried to fall back to sleep, but to no avail. So, around 12: 30
am, I found myself sitting at my kitchen counter with colored
pencils, oil pencils and sketchpad.
Then I began to draw. As I sketched, I would erase bits and
some of the erased lines formed part of the artwork, which was
how the mountains in the background were formed.
As I proceeded with the artwork, I sensed a flowing fountain
of artistic ability combined with the knowledge of ancient
wisdom and keys of mysteries. A ceramic nun statue was sitting
on my kitchen counter. As I gazed at her, the total drawing came
forth.
When I finally lifted my head, I had no more urging to
create. The clock read 2:22 am. The drawing was complete. It was
as though I had just been sitting for several minutes, drawing
and reflecting.
In a method I cannot truly express, time had appeared to
stand still. ( In fact, my personal belief of time is circular,
and sometimes counterclockwise, as opposed to the " linear
and clockwise" concept of time in today's society.)
The last step of the drawing process was to inscribe the
title, "The Journey Within" and write "I
Born" on the little book. ( Weeks later I learned " I
Born" was an anagram of Robin. At the time of the drawing,
" I Born" simply was symbolic to me that my name was
written in the Lamb's Book of Life.) Then I signed the drawing
with my signature, the date and hour.
The poem, "The Risen Veil of Enlightenment," came
several days later. As I reflected into the drawing, words came
flooding into my mind. As you read the poem, resonate with the
drawing, for the drawing and poem are one. They co-exist within
the same multi-dimensional circular time.
Since the drawing and poem materialized, many veils of
illusions were lifted from my being. It has been difficult and
challenging at times, but well worth the Enlightenment I have
been honored to experience.
I know within my spirit the drawing and poem is a universal
collective consciousness of past, present and future. Therefore,
a wonderful reminder I am being led within my journey.
I must say to the viewers and readers of the drawing and
poem, that this experience has humbled my heart, and it has
become a constant reminder of the invisible spiritual talents we
all have within our genetic cellular blueprints.
It is a prayer on my lips that you the viewer will be
enlightened and see the symbolic- anatomy of the illumination of
God, Christ, Holy Spirit, Mother Mary, Mother Earth, Father Sky,
antiquities, prayer, teachings of the ancient ones of old and
peace.
I have much more to write concerning this drawing, poem and
other experiences I have had within my life. With the grace of
God and a nudging from a friend, a book is materializing
slowing.
Many thanks and appreciation to Mary Gravelle, my family,
children, extended family----friends, mentors and instructors of
nursing and energetic healing, mentor of the Red Path and Blue
Road, my Heavenly Parents, my Earthly Parents, the Masters of
old and Spirit Guides. I hold all of you within the sacredness
of my heart.
Wishing a Garden Harvest of Peace, Hope, Prayer, Health,
Blessings, Unconditional Love and Enlightenment to you and your
loved ones, I AM in Christ, Robin S. McKinney-McNeely, BSN, RN.
The Risen Veil of Enlightenment
Ole' Thy Soul of mine where have ye journeyed? A vagueness of
remembrance I envision out of my brow of distant lands where my
heart slumbered.
Ole' Thy Spirit of mine where have ye journeyed? A vagueness
of remembrance I feel from my solar plexus as The River of Life
flows within and without my being.
Ole' Thy Body of mine where have ye journeyed? A vagueness of
remembrance I resonate too, spiraling from my crown and upward
as The Tree of Life is embedded within my mind.
Ole' Thy Feet of mine where have ye journeyed? A vagueness of
remembrance I sense within the grass of Mother Earth. She has
grounded me and pulled my soul to the center of natures'
knowledge and the wise ones of old.
Ole' Thy Heart of mine where have ye journeyed? For yes I
know ----- For ye are the Circle of Life Force of my Spirit,
Soul , and Body's Blueprints of the Past, Present, and Future.
I praise thee God, which art thou Circle of Light, for
keeping the Flame of The Risen Christ illuminating as a never
ending burning candle within this vessel. Thus, bringing forth
The Risen Veil of Enlightenment of Peace, Hope, Love, Joy, and
Healing.

More about this drawing --
numerology:
Mary Gravelle:
Thank you for your writing. It is wonderfully inspiring. One
thing that struck me is that it happened on 2-22-02 at 2:22 in
the morning. That is a lot of 2's and quite phenomenal that it
came to you like that. Is 2 a significant number to you?
And thank you for all your thoughts on 2's in your life and St.
Valentine's Day. Potent time for you, my dear.
Robin McNeeley:
Mary concerning the 2's. You gave me much
insight when you said your thoughts on 2's in my life and St.
Valentine's Day. The words" Potent time for you"
sticks within my being. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
Mary yes when I finished the drawing one of
the first things that came into my being was all of the 2's
within the date, time, and hour. I knew it meant something,
however not quiet sure what.
The whole process was mysterious to me.
However, when I would show my drawing to people some would
comment concerning, the numerology of 2. Also that was one of
your questions.
As we have discussed it was not until you
asked me concerning the numeral 2 ( last week ) that I was
nudged once again to research concerning the significant of the
number 2 and 22.
The one person I knew would help me out with
this question was Linda-Schiller-Hanna. I took a Lightworkers
Intensive Class from her in Nov. of 2001. Therefore, I emailed
Linda and presented her the question, " what could be of
significances of 2's within this drawing"?
Linda emailed me back with a wealth of
knowledge. I will share some of the information. She stated
that 22 is a master number, a number of the Creative Builder,
the Visionary. It is a harder vibration to hold......one needs
to be of high consciousness to handle it, but if you can ...you
are able to create wonderful things.
She stated that Sidney Omar writes about it
in the Thought Dial an out of print book ( which I have not read
as of yet but will be as soon as I can find one). Really Mary, I
did not even know who Sidney Omar was until I looked him up on
the net today. Ghee. Am I Naive or what?
Also she said to look up books on
numerology with the significance of 22. Therefore, this
information appears to validate one reason why the drawing was
so effortless----a master number, one of the creative builder
and a visionary. This must have been the right time, place and
circular space for the drawing to manifest.
Mary as we have emailed each other during
these months I expressed that I had tried to reproduce the
drawing time and time again. However, I was not able to repeat
exactly the same flowing dimensions.
As I reflect on how the drawing, poem, us
coming to know each other , your help with birthing my drawing
on your web site, it once again tells me the significance of 2.
Thank you with my effort and being an instrumental 2. It lets me
know that many are on " The Journey Within". We are
all here to enlighten and help each other.
