Last evening I returned home from a Transcendental Meditation retreat that lasted for 6 nights and 5 days. Here are a handful of books from the Vedic library. This experience and knowledge I have gained from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transcendental Meditation is infinite. Jai Guru Dev. 🪷 ♾️ 🤍

This morning I was rudely interrupted while experiencing this video with an ad convincing me to become a soldier for the US Army. Diametric opposites sadly exist in this material world: the totality of love side by side with the emptiness of absolute hate. PEACE IS POWER - SURRENDER TO PEACE! 🕊️

I am beginning to feel unnatural sharing finished artwork and drawings on social media. With that said, this morning I randomly found several sheets of gold leaf and added them as the final embellishment to finish a new drawing. If you'd like to view, feel free to visit: www.brandon-locher.com

Since I’m using ink and colored pencil on paper, all marks remain unalterable. Using only this additive process, the drawings are from moment to moment an instantaneous balancing act until the total vision appears complete. Read more here ... 📝
