All Things Return To Their Source by Walter RussellThis is an allegorical picture of the Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect. Everything that emanates from a galaxy, a sun, an atom or a human being comes back to its source. Similarly, every human being, atom, sun and galaxy returns in its own individual rhythm to its source in the Universal Oneness, in order to be re-emanated into the polarity of the manifested world. According to Russell, the rings radiated from suns become planets. Once these are old enough, their rings become moons and the radiation off the moons create comets, which eventually return to the sun, as illustrated in this painting. The feminine figure demonstrates the feminine, disintegrated, expanding, dissolving principle of all creation, therefore she is, just like the entire painting, painted with colours from the blue-green part of the colour spectrum.

Walter Russell's Last PaintingThis is Walter Russell's last painting, completed shortly before his death. This pastel of a vortex whirls shows the universe or a solar system, illustrating the two archetypal male and female polarities that result from the division of the One into the Many, by expanding from the equator. The upper blue-green pole symbolizes the female principle, the lower red-violet pole symbolizes the male principle. Beginning and ending are one and the same, which Walter Russell demonstrated in a special way: he died on his birthday, the 19th of May 1963.
