Spirituality Through Photography and Art

Spirituality Through Photography and Art - Dr. John A. Allocca - Everyone wants inner peace. It is the lack of inner peace that causes hatred and violence. For thousands of years various disciplines have structured long studies, mentoring, and meditations of some sort to achieve the goal of inner peace. Most of these disciplines are found in eastern cultures. The fast-paced western society has shown little interest in them, with some small exceptions. What is the solution? The solution or part of the solution is to develop a methodology that comprises of technology and some aspects of the various disciplines that will be useful and of interest to people in western society. - Almost everyone in western society has a cell phone with a camera, which makes photography easy. Any form of artwork can be used as a tool in this methodology to to explore what people feel inside. Any camera, drawing, painting, music, etc. can be used. What are you called to photograph or draw or paint or whatever? What emotions does the photograph bring to the surface? How does it make you feel?
