New Zeeland Artist Painted Her Own Death

February 2006

A story in a Rotorua, New Zeeland, daily newspaper noted that a local artist painted an image of a woman floating face-down in water just prior to her own death by drowning in a public pool.

The story suggested that the artist, Joanna Paul, somehow foresaw her own death. When she was found, Paul was lying face down in one of the decorative pools in a Polynesian Spa complex in May, 2003. The story said attempts to revive her failed and she died at a city hospital two days later.

A sister has pooh-poohed suggestions that Paul had any kind of premonition of her own death. She said there has been a swimming theme in her work and at the time of her death, she was working on a series of more than 30 paintings depicting the Government Gardens. The sister said the picture of a woman floating face down in water in a work done prior to her death was “simply coincidental.”

That is a typical response for religious-oriented left-brain thinkers. They refuse to believe that humans can actually see the future, let alone foresee our own deaths. The concept of psychic, right-brain functioning is not only foreign to them, but the angelic energy within them tends to blind them to anything approaching the spiritual realm.

Yet an examination of the Paul painting, as published by the Daily Post, appears to show a woman clothed in shorts and a pull-over shirt floating face down in a bluish setting with small fish around her. The bare feet are extended straight outward, although the arms are in a somewhat swimming position, with one extended overhead, the other by her side. There are no bubbles depicted coming from the mouth.

That Paul was a well known New Zeeland artist suggests that she probably made her living with her paintings. As Luciferians, we recognize that all creative arts are right-brain activities. Psychic Aaron C. Donahue notes that all humans have a prophetic area of the brain that kicks in on occasion, and we all catch brief glimpses of the future, especially when the event presents a major spike in the collective subconscious storehouse of information.

This is the reason people have those “premonitions” of disaster that cause them to turn away before boarding an aircraft destined to crash in flames, or board a ship that is destined to sink. It is said that both Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy had premonitions of their own deaths prior to their assassinations.

Thus it would be natural for Paul to have not only foreseen her own death, but the image was so powerful in her subconscious that it was expressed in her art. She painted herself floating in the pool, but if her consciousness blocked her awareness, perhaps she did not understand what she was expressing.

Had she been fully conscious of the vision, Paul probably would have been able to prevent the event from occurring.

Donahue claims that every death is a suicide. He says all humans subconsciously know the time of their own death, and allow it to occur.

He said he once perceived his own death by a crazed gunman in California. Donahue said he even foresaw, through his work as an advanced remote viewer, that the event would occur at a service station. Consequently, he avoided being in cars that stopped to fill-up as much as possible, and when he was in this situation, he was always on his guard.

One night he said he was forced to stop for gasoline. As he was pumping gas into his car, Donahue said he saw a man with a crazed narcotic-induced look in his eye, wearing a long coat, coming toward him. The man’s hands were in the coat pockets. He said he recognized this man as his killer.

As the man got closer, one hand came out of the coat pocked and he was brandishing a handgun. Donahue said the handle of the weapon was wrapped in black tape, just as he had envisioned it.

Donahue said he dropped what he was doing and ran into the station’s public restroom facility where he locked the door behind him. He said he waited there for what seemed to be a long time before daring to look out. When he did, the would-be killer was gone.

Because he foresaw his premature death, Donahue said he was able to escape it.

Donahue says we all can do this. But we need to turn away the angelic energies, stimulate the right half of our amazing bicameral brains, and awaken that prophetic area that allows us to see the future. Once we come awake, he said the veil is lifted and that symbolic “third eye” is opened.
