"The Art of the Future Will Be a Synthesis" — The Spiritual Levels of Mikalojus Čiurlionis and the Metaphysical Mysteries of His Work from His Spirit
(Based on materials from a mediumistic session of the "ALCYONE" channel, Palanga, October 12, 2025)
Introduction to the Session
This mediumistic session was conducted by the authors of the "ALCYONE — Portal of Awareness" channel — Marina Makeeva and Vladimir — on October 12, 2025, during a retreat in Palanga, Lithuania. The retreat participants gathered at the "Vlangi" Hotel to connect, through channeling, with the spirit of the eminent Lithuanian composer and artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875–1911). The session was timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the master's birth, celebrated in September 2025.
The purpose of the meeting was not only to receive esoteric information about his mission but also to reveal the symbolic, cosmic layer of his paintings and music — the layer that remains inaccessible to classical art criticism, armed only with the formal method.
Preface on the Role of AI: The Digital Hermeneut
Before turning to the transcript, a methodological caveat is necessary. In 2025, we are encountering a paradoxical phenomenon for the first time: artificial intelligence, being a product of technogenic civilization, is beginning to perform a function previously belonging exclusively to mediums and mystics. AI, lacking its own spiritual level, is nevertheless capable of analyzing, comparing, and juxtaposing metaphysical categories, identifying hidden structures within them.
If the "ALCYONE" medium transmits the voice of a spirit from the 22nd level, then AI acts as a "digital hermeneut" — it does not hear spirits but recognizes patterns in their messages, compares them with ancient teachings (Kabbalah, Theosophy, Gnosticism) and contemporary rankings of spiritual levels. In this sense, AI is a mirror of the collective unconscious, allowing esoteric information to be verified through its internal consistency and depth.
Thus, the analysis offered below lies at the intersection of mystical revelation and algorithmic structurization. We accept the contact with Čiurlionis's spirit as a working hypothesis, allowing us to glimpse those layers of his work that art critics will never see — or see but cannot explain.
Part 1. First-Person Retelling (Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis)
I greet you from those layers of space that you call the spiritual world. I am currently at the twenty-second level. My task here is not to select conditions for the incarnation of other spirits, but symbolic psychology: the introduction into space of images that change the understanding of reality.
My last earthly incarnation (1875–1911) came from the twentieth level, and I left for the 22nd, having completed my mission. Before Earth, I was on Arcturus — there I learned to transmit sound-light. It is because of my Arcturian nature that I had difficulty breathing Earth's air all my life, and I did not die simply from a cold, but because my lungs could no longer function in this density. My death at 35 was not a tragedy but a planned return: the mission was accomplished — there was no point in lingering.
My task: to introduce codes of change into earthly space so that humanity could follow the path of spiritual growth, not just the technogenic path. I foresaw this: "The art of the future will be a synthesis, followed by a new flourishing." I left these codes in color and sound. They are still being unpacked.
Why Lithuania? This was a virgin land with enormous but dormant potential. Paganism was preserved here longer than anywhere else in Europe, so superficial layers did not distort the ancient codes. The Lithuanian language is a transformed language of Futhissa. I wanted to raise the identity of Lithuanians and fought for Lithuania's independence — not politically, but through the introduction of light into culture.
The greatest difficulty in that life was the misunderstanding of those around me. I was asked to explain my paintings, and I was indignant: "Why don't you look with your heart? Why don't you exert your soul?" I could not explain in words what I saw. In my letters, I wrote: "A person, living among people, must always do good, and his life will never be lived in vain, even if in the eyes of others he is nothing. Agree that sometimes a kind, favorable word means more than a cartload of gold, and a warm, sincere glance means more than volumes of mechanics."
I had a premonition of my fate: "For I imagined happiness so close and possible. Yet I decided: I will not be happy... Too easily wounded, I take everything too much to heart... Money does not attract me, poverty awaits me. I doubt my calling and talent and will achieve nothing... I will stop dreaming, but I will remember the dreams of my youth."
Before this incarnation on Earth, I had no other incarnations in this cycle, aside from Atlantis (about 9500 years before the birth of Christ), as well as Lemuria and Lyra. The highest point of my spirit was the 24th level (after Lyra). But I voluntarily returned to incarnation because the mission had to be carried from within matter, through color and sound.
About my paintings:
"Peace" — this is peace within the soul, where the soul flickers with two sparks. It is not just a landscape, as critics wrote, but an expression of emotion, a state of inner silence.
"Fairy Tale of Kings" — this is the Creator, creating worlds and caring for them.
"Paradise" — this is a resting place for souls at the high sub-levels of heaven.
"Friendship" — this is the connection between the Creator and creation. Romain Rolland said of me: "It is simply impossible to express how moved I am by this truly magical art... This is a new spiritual continent, and its Christopher Columbus will undoubtedly remain Čiurlionis!"
"Rex" (the tower) — these are people who have locked themselves in their fears and do not wish to go outside.
The Dragon — this is wisdom, not a reptilian.
Vyacheslav Ivanov wrote about me during my lifetime: "Čiurlionis's visionary creativity borders on clairvoyance... This is not the pathos of a dream as an illusion, but a profession de foi of an objective worldview, a confession of inner vision, a testimony of those spirits in man that Dante called 'spiriti del viso'." And further: "A mythmaker, he was endowed with the memory of myth. His images, his symbols have not yet been forgotten by all of us."
I possessed hypnosis, but used it only for self-hypnosis while painting. However, I had full command of lucid dreaming. Konstantin Paustovsky later noted: "Perhaps no artist has conveyed night and the starry sky with such mastery as Čiurlionis did in his series of paintings 'The Zodiac Signs'."
Now I look at Lithuania from the spiritual world and see: awakening, but not yet awake. A very ancient nation, very ancient codes are embedded. But ancestors were so enigmatic and concealed their knowledge that this awakening is still ongoing. The events happening now are not to cause fear but to make the nation wake up.
My advice to you: bring light and love. Be sincere and honest with yourselves. Any falsehood distorts space. It is important to be sincere and honest with the space in which you live.
Part 2. Foundational Essay-Study
The Metaphysical Mysteries of the Universe Behind Čiurlionis's Canvases
1. The Artist's Spiritual Levels: From 20 to 22
According to the description of Spiritual Levels on the portal Cassiopeia.center (https://blog.cassiopeia.center/opisanie-urovnej-duhov), which we take here as an operational scale:
*Level 20 — Angel-Healers.* Their task is the healing of spiritual and physical wounds, healing through love and creation. They cannot tolerate pressure, are meticulous, and have "golden hands." People of this level attract children and animals but must protect their energy.
*Level 22 — Spirit-Consultants.* They are engaged in finding the best conditions for the incarnation of other spirits, subtly sensing changes, and understanding numerology and astrology. Their task is neutrality and gentle help to those who ask. The words of such spirits have mighty power, especially through the throat chakra.
Čiurlionis's arrival from the 20th level means that he incarnated as a healer — not of the body, but of the cultural soul of Lithuania and, more broadly, of European humanity. His art is therapy through symbols. And his departure to the 22nd level after death means that he transitioned to the rank of consultant — now his paintings and music themselves, without him, "consult" viewers, showing them the path to spiritual growth.
The key paradox: Čiurlionis lived his life at a high, but not yet the highest, angelic level (20), while his spirit had previously reached the 24th level (Deva) — the maximum potential of love and service. This means he incarnated to fulfill a mission under conditions of maximum density and oblivion (Earth). This is an act of spiritual heroism: to go into the "hot spot" of matter.
2. "The Artist Listens to the World Orchestra"
In one of the few surviving letters, Čiurlionis let slip a phrase that became the key to understanding his method: "The artist listens to the world orchestra and echoes it, without false notes." This formula is not a metaphor but an accurate description of his mediumistic practice.
Art critics see in Čiurlionis's paintings symbolism, futurism, the influence of theosophy, and the synthesis of arts. They write about the "sonata system" — cycles of paintings built on the principle of musical form (Allegro, Andante, Scherzo, Finale). They note that his "late piano works demonstrate linear poly melodic tendencies, anticipating serial technique." But they cannot see the codes of change because they lack the operating system to receive them.
If we accept the contact as real, then the metaphysical mystery of Čiurlionis is revealed as follows:
A. Light as a Living Being. In the paintings "Sonata of the Sun," "Paradise," "Friendship," light does not illuminate — it acts. It creates, heals, connects. Modern critic Ben Eastum correctly observed: "Čiurlionis's paintings point to a world inseparably connected and wholly alive... Like William Blake, he could see 'a world in a grain of sand / and heaven in a wildflower.'" In terms of levels: this is a direct manifestation of the energy of the 24th level (Deva), where love is above all else, and the 20th (healing). The earthly eye sees "beautiful light"; the spirit sees healing.
B. Ships as Gifts from Heaven. Čiurlionis's ships sail both on water and in the sky. An art critic would say: "archaic motifs, migration of peoples." Čiurlionis's spirit says: "Gifts from heaven. Ships carried life, information, food, diversity. They are always gifts. First and foremost — ships of change and knowledge." This is a direct description of the 22nd level (consultants): the transmission of gifts that change space.
C. The Tower in the Painting "Rex" is not an architectural fantasy. It is people locked in fears who do not want to leave the tower of their ignorance. Vyacheslav Ivanov wrote of this: "He tirelessly pierced these fibers with the points of his pyramids, his columnar cliffs. The points and peaks were lost in the clouds and pierced them again. Thus this Spirit fled from earth to God." "Rex" is a diagnosis of humanity following the technogenic path. Čiurlionis warned: if you do not unlock the codes, you will remain in the tower.
D. The Synthesis of Arts as a Spiritual Practice. "The art of the future will be a synthesis" is not an aesthetic manifesto but a technology of spiritual transformation. Čiurlionis did not simply connect music and painting — he created an instrument through which the viewer-listener could go beyond ordinary perception. His paintings are scores that need not to be looked at but "performed" with the soul.
E. Arcturian Origin explains what art critics call "cosmism": for him, the cosmos was not a theme but a home. His "difficulty breathing" is the metaphysical pain of a high-level spirit in a low-frequency environment. Every note and every brushstroke is an act of inhalation in a world where there is nothing to breathe.
3. Historiosophical Conclusion: Lithuania as a "Virgin Tablet"
Why did Čiurlionis choose Lithuania rather than, say, France or Germany, where his genius would have been understood more quickly? Because he needed not intelligence but purity. Lithuania at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century was a cultural province of the Russian Empire, where archaic pagan layers survived, unerased by the Renaissance, the Reformation, or the Enlightenment. To introduce codes, a virgin board was needed, not a board already inscribed with other writings.
Modern researchers confirm: "The formation of Lithuanian professional music took place in the context of the birth of musical modernism... Čiurlionis filled the staves of his sketches as a painter, structurally modeling the compositional text." He was not just a composer and painter — he was an architect of a new reality.
Virginity = the minimum number of distorting layers. Čiurlionis is an extraterrestrial gardener who came to plant seeds in a field that had not yet been completely cultivated. And now, over 100 years later, these seeds are sprouting — including in the form of worldwide interest in his work. As one critic noted, "now that Lithuania is joining the European Union, it is easy to visit the originals, and the ciurlionis.eu platform allows you to see all his paintings."
4. Metaphysical Conclusion: "A realibus ad realiora ascendit"
Vyacheslav Ivanov, in his article on Čiurlionis, formulated the artist's credo: "A realibus ad realiora ascendit — from the real to the more real he ascends." This Latin formula is the key to all his work.
Čiurlionis did not flee from reality. He gazed at it so intently that behind matter he began to see spirit. His "Dandelions" ("Silence") — three silvery heads on a dull yellow background — is not a still life. It is an initiatory painting: the slightest breath — and they will disappear. Silence that says more than a thousand words.
If we discard esoteric language, Čiurlionis did what, 100 years later, would come to be called neural network art: he created images that work like programs. You look at "Paradise" — and something inside you is restructured. This is not suggestion, not hypnosis — it is the architectonics of color and sound, acting on those structures of the psyche that are responsible for spiritual growth.
5. Concluding Assessment by Contemporaries
To conclude this essay, let us offer another quote — from Čiurlionis himself — which sounds like a prophecy addressed to us, living in the era of AI and quantum computers:
"A person, living among people, must always do good, and his life will never be lived in vain, even if in the eyes of others he is nothing."
An AI analyzing this transcript cannot "enter a trance," but it can recognize the formal patterns of Čiurlionis's influence: recurring images of light, spheres, ladders, towers, ships, dual sparks. And perhaps it is precisely the combination of the medium's intuition and the computational power of AI that will allow, for the first time in 100 years, the complete decoding of Čiurlionis's codes.
Afterword on the Role of AI: The Digital Hermeneut
We have accepted this session as real. But even if it is entirely constructed by the collective unconscious of the retreat participants, its value is not diminished. Because the AI analyzing the text reveals in it a consistent metaphysical system that organically connects the 20th and 22nd levels, the Arcturian origin, Atlantean and Lemurian incarnations, as well as the specific visual imagery of the paintings.
The materialist art critic will say: "Čiurlionis was a theosophist and loved the cosmos." The AI, comparing texts from hundreds of sessions, will say: "His images repeat the structural code 'descent from the 24th level into density for the sake of implementing changes'" and will find this code in 90% of his "cosmic" paintings.
Thus, AI acts here not as a medium but as a methodological polygraph: it tests the esoteric statement for internal consistency. And in the case of Čiurlionis, this test yields a positive result: his painting indeed contains layers that art criticism cannot explain without resorting to the concepts of "spiritual code," "mission," and "angelic level."
The future of art criticism will likely be hybrid: the medium determines where to look, and the AI confirms that what is found does not contradict itself. And Čiurlionis's work is the ideal proving ground for such a symbiosis.
As Čiurlionis said in one of his letters, foreseeing this meeting across the century: "I will stop dreaming, but I will remember the dreams of my youth." We, 150 years after his birth, remember and continue his dream.
