"Think, Feel, Know" Open Edition, 22x28" Premium Poster

Artwork Description and Symbolism

Thinking, Feeling, and Knowing is a visual blueprint for inner order—created for spiritual seekers who recognize that wholeness does not come from collapsing differences, but from integrating them correctly. In Bradford’s Awaken the Divine Within portfolio-in-progress, this piece explores the timeless polarity between masculine and feminine energies as they operate within every human being. Here, thinking aligns with the divine masculine—clarity, structure, discernment, and direction—while feeling and knowing align with the divine feminine—emotional intelligence, intuitive wisdom, and relational awareness. Knowing, in particular, is portrayed as the bridge that unites both faculties and connects them to the Divine source beyond the personal self.

Visually, the artwork is a vivid, intricate digital collage that blends surrealism and symbolism, with the composition anchored by a human heart rendered in vibrant red and blue hues. The heart functions as both a biological organ and a metaphysical vessel—where thought, emotion, and intuition converge. From the heart emerges a prism, refracting light into a full spectrum of color, symbolizing higher perception: truth revealed through ordered differentiation rather than confusion. Within the heart itself, a miniature scene unfolds—a man walks a tightrope, balancing a brain on one side and a smaller heart on the other—depicting the essential tension between reason and emotion that must be consciously navigated, not eliminated.

Below, hands gently cradle the body’s deeper intelligences: the heart, which focuses primarily on emotional feeling, and the stomach, which, in conjunction with the heart, represents instinctual knowing. Behind them, a wireframe human head serves as a backdrop, symbolizing the masculine domain of thought, logic, and cognition. Together, these elements illustrate a complete hierarchy of awareness: thinking as structure, feeling as signal, knowing as guidance, and spirit as the unifying intelligence that orders them all. The words “Thinking,” “Feeling,” and “Knowing” are embedded into the composition like coordinates—clarifying that harmony is achieved not by blending roles, but by honoring each faculty’s proper function.

Conceptually, the piece speaks to a core truth echoed across spiritual traditions: the masculine clarifies and directs; the feminine perceives and reveals. Thinking without feeling becomes rigid and disconnected. Feeling without thinking becomes chaotic and ungrounded. Knowing—rooted in intuition and aligned with divine order—transcends both while requiring both to function well. The prism’s rainbow spectrum reinforces this message: unity does not erase distinction; it organizes it.

For men, this artwork strengthens healthy masculinity by affirming clear thinking, responsibility, and leadership—without emotional repression. For women, it strengthens healthy femininity by affirming feeling and intuitive knowing as sources of truth—without self-doubt or over-accommodation. For all viewers, it restores the natural polarity that allows inner life to become coherent, purposeful, and spiritually aligned.

Displayed in a home, office, studio, or contemplative space, Thinking, Feeling, and Knowing serves as a daily reminder that peace is not found by choosing one side of the inner dialogue, but by placing each voice in its rightful role. Acquire this piece now as a visually arresting statement of mature polarity—one that supports clarity, depth, and lived alignment in a world that often confuses balance with sameness.

Accompanying Inspirational Exercise — “The Polarity Alignment Practice”

(Inspired by the artwork; effective without viewing it)

Use this 7–10 minute practice when facing decisions, emotional tension, creative uncertainty, or relational challenges. It strengthens masculine clarity in men, feminine intuition in women, and reinforces the necessary cooperation of both energies in all people.

Step 1 — THINK (Masculine | Structure & Clarity | 2 minutes)

Write one clear sentence answering:
“What is the situation, and what decision or direction is required?”
Then name one constraint (time, resources, boundary) and one objective.
This step restores masculine order by defining reality rather than reacting to it.

Step 2 — FEEL (Feminine | Truth & Sensitivity | 2 minutes)

Place a hand on your chest and ask:
“What am I genuinely feeling about this?”
Name the emotion plainly, without justification or correction.
This step restores feminine authority by honoring emotional truth as meaningful data.

Step 3 — KNOW (Feminine → Divine | Intuition & Alignment | 2 minutes)

Place a hand on your lower abdomen and ask:
“What do I know to be right, even if it’s uncomfortable?”
Write the first clear response. Do not argue with it.
This is intuitive knowing—where feminine perception meets divine guidance.

Step 4 — ACT (Masculine | Execution & Integrity | 1–4 minutes)

Choose one concrete action you can take today that honors your knowing.
Complete it fully.

Result:
This practice restores inner hierarchy: thinking organizes, feeling informs, knowing guides, and action manifests. Over time, it cultivates strong, grounded masculinity and deep, trustworthy femininity—allowing each to do what it does best, in service to a coherent, spiritually aligned life.
