By focusing on the divine beyond religions, Divine Emanations expands Ranson's idea of the co-existence of spiritual beliefs. The central symbol represents a yogi in a meditating posture sitting on a light orange floor under a blue sky. Pure white light emanating from above is converted by the yogi into a rainbow of colored lights directed upwards in a symmetrical direction. The yogic posture is completely enclosed in an exact equilateral triangle that evokes its prismatic ability to refract the pure white light into a spectrum of colors.

In a tongue-in-cheek reference, Michelangelo's finger of God alludes to the fact that the white ray of light is of divine origin. The colored rainbow represents the multitude of past and present religions that have appeared in history through humankind as symbolized by the prismatic yogi. Each religion corresponds to one color of the rainbow. As each and every religion answers to the spiritual and moral needs of a certain society at a certain time and at a certain location, they all are meaningful.

This artwork approaches religions in a though-provoking manner. All religions, represented by the colored rainbow, exist because mankind created them from the original white divine light. The artwork implies that the white light, representing the cosmic divine energy, is larger than any single religion and acts as an umbrella above all religions. Several pairs of opposite symbols are also present in the artwork:

1. Divine and human: Michelangelo's finger of God symbolizes the divine while the person in the yoga posture stands for mankind throughout history.

2. East and West: While the finger of God belongs to a white man from western culture, the yogi represents eastern culture. Both dualities Divine/Human and East/West can be united through the common divine white light.

3. Material and spiritual: The light orange floor corresponds to the earth element and symbolizes matter, while the light blue is equivalent to the air element and symbolizes spirit. The yogi unites both material and spiritual worlds.

4. Inner and outer spirituality: While religions are looking for the divine outside, the meditating posture of the yogi implies that one can also seek the divine within. Where religions would approach the divine through faith, mysticism does this through knowledge. From the inner world, one can become aware of the white divine light, while from any color ray, symbolizing one man-made religion, one would be restricted by the limits of that faith's color.

5. White and colors: The colors of the rainbow represent all past and present religions. I do not believe that any religion stands above the others, and the artwork shows that they all are emanations of the same original divine energy.

I believe that the integration of opposites — in art and life — brings wisdom and harmony.
