Chakras - Wheels



Kahlil Gibran
The Divine World


This work suggests the chakras in the subtle system, which are spinning wheels of energy - energy that has consciousness, as suggested by the central eye. On the inside is the subtle; outside is the physical, represented by the circle of human figures.
The Lebanese poet and Painter Kahlil Gibran drew from various traditions of his homeland, from the ancient Goddess worshipping cultures of the region, to Gnosticism, Christianity and Islam. It is a characteristic of Self-realised souls to see the truth in all faiths. Gibran's work is in the same spirit as that of William Blake and Michelangelo.
