I remember a movie "Dead Presidents" that had a lot of philosophical undertones/overtones in it, none that came immediately to mind, just curious is maybe you caught it. If I recall, it was pretty good. 3. All our sufferings come from that first step of mis-identification. It's so subtle when we think how long we've taken to condition ourselves away from what was self-evident, at the time, now long, long ago. I sometimes feel like life has just been a witnessing event for me, and I wasn't really in it, I thought I was at one time, couldn't have convinced me otherwise as a matter of fact, now, . . . . things are different, thats all. ps when I was growing up, it took a long time for me to figure out who I actually was. Then, in later years, to find out about our mistaken identities, do it all over again, I thought I had that already figured out! damn-it. lol

Yes i am familiar with Dr. Mazaru Emotos pioneering research work,
pretty impressive indeed, i've read and watched videos on this.
I'm also watching and reading much about the indigenous native Hopi Indians ... and how they are discussing today's ways and today's relationship to the earth.
We are unconsciously and always aware of our divineness, it is subtle,
but some people are easily swayed from their natural path.

Seems we have more in common interest than either of us know Mel.

If memory serves the Hopi Indians, the Mayans [calendar]and the I Ching [by Emperor Fu Chi somebody] predicts Dec. 21 2012 winter Solstice as a big event?

The poles changing or something \ to /. Lots of change forecast.

Not to mention the I Ching is said to be an Oracle.

I found Dr. Emoto's work, stunning, to say the least.

Warm regards love,

GodArt

What does an artist "do", regardless of medium?

Artists use their work to discover the world. Their work serves as both a window and a mirror…provides a view "into" reality…and reflects the artist back to themselves…providing a means of discovery as well as self discovery.

Reality is a mystery. Human artists probe this mystery via their work.
Maybe God does the same thing. Maybe God is an artist and our universe…our reality…is ONE of his/her works…a work through which God…IT…discovers ITSELF.

This GodArt is "made" of GodStuff. Everything, including us, is made of God. "You" and everyone else is a unique work of fine GodArt. The medium is reality-play itself…part theater, part novel, part movie, part dance, part kinetic sculpture…etc. "You" are a fictitious character in all this…dreamed up and "written" by God. You are made of consciousness, intelligence, imagination, creativity itself…GodStuff.

You are also made of paradox. You are, at once, an individual piece of work and a "finger on God's hand". You are you and you are God being you.

All of this has been said before, perhaps in slightly different terms. A wide variety of metaphors have been used as pointers toward non-dual awareness…the dream, the movie, the puppet, waves in the ocean, etc.
Words notoriously fail but are offered in different combinations again and again, which is not a bad thing, because if some particular description of the "nature of things" resonates and "wakes up" even one reader, the myriad attempts are worth it.

Michelangelo's The Last Judgment. Saint Bartholomew is shown holding the knife of his martyrdom and his flayed skin. The face of the skin is recognizable as Michelangelo.

Tear off this cloak of shadows.
This web of ignorance.
These shackles of decay.
This living death.
This conscious corpse.
This portable tomb.
This robber in the house.
This enemy that hates all that you love.
This garment that smothers you
and holds you down.
Ignorance floods the land.
Its currents sweep you away.
Don't be borne downstream.
Make use of the backflow.
Seek the haven of liberation.
Anchor there and find a guide
to lead you to the House of Knowledge.
There you will see with the heart,
the brilliant brightness.

We Are NOT a Human Searching For a Spiritual Experience,
We Are a Beautiful Spirit Immersed In a Human Experience!

This Holy Instant
Awareness (Absolute Father - Still Awareness) knows Sensation (Universal Mother-Moving Awareness)
Consciousness (The Son or Father in the Flesh) Is Born.

Awakening is a flowering of your innermost being.
It is a revelation of your essence,
hidden by long eons of self-delusion,
ignorance,
unbounded desires.

Enlightenment is an ending as well as a beginning:
the ending of the old, veiled, dark ego,
its longings, illusions, frustrations;
the beginning of a vast expanse,
an infinite field of the Unknown,
an adventure in consciousness.

It is a revolution:
it represents danger to the old way of life,
to old ways of thinking and living.

It is freedom from the known and the unknown;
from the real and the unreal;
from any appearance of division between you and Truth.

It is the abandoning of beliefs, dis-beliefs,
presumptions and stances,
self, ego,
call it what you will,
or call it nothing,
what it is.

It is the Path of the golden Dawn,
the Path out of the Night of Time
into the Bursting daylight of Eternal Now...

- Petros
