What do you think of this painting so far that I am doing? It's an symbolic one depicting certain mythos?

I have a long way too go, ran out of paints I need and need to buy different colors to do what I want, so I was forced to stop for now. The picture is low res it seems. Best I could do. 

And this is the drawing version, although this was a quick sketch done on the computer and I never took a picture of the painting when it was completely in sketch form. More than likely it will end up looking very different from this, as it was just to get a concept of it all.

I like your idea of trying to express how the earth is the medium for 'growing' things, it's like the incubation place, and you show the stages from adam/eve up to advanced life-forms, or the egg to grow star beings. The aspects of creation are expressed well as the male and female energies in your images, but it seems other dimensions might be left out, which may be revealed to you later in a different painting. I would keep going with it, you have artistic ability and good ability to self-express, it's a nice start. There is a lot of 'I'  in your painting, but given that is your point of view, it is best to accept this reality. It feels like 'too much' is happening 'off earth', like up in the clouds/cosmos, which then there might be a tendency to ignore our physical existence, and indicates a need to me, to ground more down into earth and daily reality. That it is signed 'Ra', tells me how you view your self-image. I would consider leaving off the 'I AM', I and H symbols as well the text: Son of Man'. You don't have to make it any particular way, so suggest drop investigation of symbols, this isn't needed. Try to not think about it so much, rather just let your painting express itself by itself, onto the canvas.

This is a well-done abstract, however I sense conflict in the two sides, a sort of struggle for balance!

I like the picture you are painting a lot.

You asked so what I think is  . . .
....First artistic piece I find to be "sharp" and not peaceful to view.
....The second artistic piece "messages" to the soul a bit more.

It could also be that my preference is softer lines.  First piece is of "sharper", thorn type lines and second piece is of softer, more peaceful "message" and lines.

"What's not pleasing to some is enjoyed and embraced by other(s)"

Either way, you've a keen artistic eye and expressive mind.
