Still Life- You are ART

Life is a mysterious adventure and our greatest teacher. We also hear, with this life experience, you will get from it what you put into it. We are requesting nothing be more important than you at this time. So please be generous, enthusiastic and eager for the miracles that are about to unfold. Be eager and excited because the secret and system are about to unfold to you.


Become quiet within yourself. Allow a pure stillness to envelop you. Restore a calm deep from within you. Breathe. Feel awareness and begin and know what you feel, is you. You are the system, you are success and you are the secret to life. The more time you spend in the space of this awareness the more you will know this to be true. The more truth you allow the more present you become. Truth resides now. The truth is your life is to teach, remind and show you your magnificence and purpose. Your life is exactly designed for you to be the one you are now. You are the one that is here to help and make a difference. Your purpose is to do your way. So if what you put into life you get out, put you in your life fully, and watch miracles unfold.



You are creating every moment. Most are creating from what they believe themselves to be based on what has happened in the past. The past is a great resource. If our life is to allow our magnificence, the past must be accepted and seen as experiences that are simply saying to us, in the form of events and circumstances, “You are greater than you know”. So be great, be excited and be you. Be inspired that you are the one you will look up to, and you are the only one you should aspire to be. Set your intention for more clarity on your unique talents. Watch for them to surface as a reminder to you. Begin to integrate these into your work and life. You will begin to stop the need to compare and start fulfilling a need to stay aware.



In 2001 we were working with Deepak Chopra in a very small Mastermind meeting. He asked us to get a partner and to go through these three simple questions. The purpose was to deepen our understanding of ourselves. Each question was to be asked 10 times in a row. We sat facing each other and when he said begin, the one asking the question would lean in and whisper into the partners ear, “Who are you?.” When we answered they would ask it again. Each response became more defining and more specific. It is like the person asking the question is playing the role of the universe. Remember, ask and it is given. The ultimate response is “So be it”... as in so it is done and be that which you say.


This is fun to do. Here are the questions.




Who are you?


What do you want?


What is your gift?







Live not in a Yes or No world.Live Yes or NOW!!

All we have is choice in each moment. The choice to take action, create, listen, share, or feel becomes the communication and our unique expression. These choices take on a certain quality based on the moment we are in. When the quality is felt as a negative expression the moment has linked itself to other moments in the past not yet cleared or understood. Energetically the expression slows down so much it almost stops which prevents all solutions from revealing themselves. This stuck feeling is meant to reflect on the source or root thought causing the feeling. It is not meant to fuel the current situation.


When here we must stop, breathe and realize new energy from the present moment is what is required to resolve and shift the situation to a positive outcome. There is always time to later review what triggered the emotion and why. We are all looking for agreement and to be validated. Hearing no as disagreement or rejection can stop all possibility. Some live in a yes no black and white world. If so what if no could be now heard as know. Let that shift open the door to the next possibility; a yes or now world.


Yes is enthusiasm, excitement and a win-win. Energetically it is quick and full of possibility and miracles. So quite simply to stay in the flow of solutions and a positive expression give yourself only two choices yes or now. 'Yes' to answer “is my expression inspiring actions that are in alignment with my goals and values?" 'Now' to answer “where do solutions and greatness exists?" Now is action. Actions that take place from a conscious choice in the present moment are inspired actions. Now accesses what you already know and to already know the solution.


Stay present to stay in the power of choice. Here make a new choice, from yes or now.


Here,

UNCOVERED- the Masterpiece YOU!

Love uncovers the truth by simply illuminating it. The truth is love is a stream of brilliant thought that will dissolve the veils to reveal the masterpiece we and our life have always been. Love is an unbridled artist that distracts our attention from the everyday to show us we have a purpose. It has been a long journey to discover this. Many rocks were turned over before we remembered what Michelangelo did to create David. He lifted nothing in search of his masterpiece; he simply liberated that which was already there. How much time do we waste actually under the rock justifying our search of self, only to forget what we’re searching for and then just stay there? This is about getting the lessons from the rock and freeing the masterpiece. We are here to remember we are the finest form of art, an original, an absolute divine creation. We are that which inspires the art we have become awestruck by. We need to see ourselves as the source, the light of love, masterfully achieving brilliance, with dimension and clarity, in our own life.

 

Michelangelo worked knowing the image of David was already in the block of stone. Our pure essence is also found within a block of stone called our life. Chipping away the layers of stone, freeing what he knew to be already there, is how we must free ourselves from the darkness created by our mind’s own perception. As we become free, our hearts will begin to radiate so completely that we will finally see our full selves for our self…once and for all. And it will be for all, as just one realization will begin a cosmic cascading of fully aware dominos, illuminating the closest student to become the next teacher… and so on.

 

Michelangelo chose the subject of this work from the Old Testament story of David and Goliath, in which the young David, future king of Israel, flings a stone from his slingshot to kill the giant Goliath. In his success he then saves his nation. The statue represents not only the daring spirit of the young hero but also of Michelangelo himself. He established himself as a master and hero with this work. When art imitates life and lives imitate art, love is at work. Our goal is now to be at work, committed to love. Love will once again transcend itself, to become the dedication of taking one determined step after another away from our Ego to move in the direction of our true self. It is on this path we will heroically stand and face the memory of our divinity and dare our selves to realize the truth of who we are.

When Michelangelo worked he would naturally sweat. The mind’s thinking has also become hard work because of its requirement to arduously gather evidence to support our Ego. In the past our natural state has been sustained by the work of the Ego and we would develop a similar condition to attract. While Michelangelo created, the marble dust would mix to become mire that would splatter all over his face and body. As dust would continue to cover him, he would begin to resemble that which he was creating. Just like Michelangelo, the Ego’s work creates as each thought acts and exists as a vibration. Each thought we have is literally a magnet to then stick to us, creating who we are in each moment. As Ego finds more evidence, we experience the old emotion which attracts more of the same result. Are you a replicated version of an illusion of thoughts from the past, or a unique creation honored by present moment awareness for your immense magnitude and purpose?

We know his method was to chip away to reveal the greatness of David. Imagine each day as he would honor that which was chipped away by seeing it, understanding it and at the same time knowing it was to reveal the greatness of David. It may have been a momentary illusion that the dust of David he was covered in created the greatness of Michelangelo. We believe he could see for himself as he would clean up for the day, pieces of stone covering his own greatness that he also needed to cast away. We are here to realize that exact same process. Our tools will be the mind and our intention. Our creation will be ourselves as awe-inspiring. We will become masters of controlling the only stream of thought that holds the truth. This stream of thought with its own intention is love.

What were the intentions Michelangelo used each day to achieve his masterpiece? Let’s trust, while he was working, his single minded focus was seeing David explicated by thoughts and beliefs of who he was as his highest or pure self. How often do we do this for ourselves and for others? What would David have looked like if he was thought of for all the trite miscommunications, wrong doings, should haves, or didn’ts? We must adopt this same single minded focus to retrain our brain to remember its brilliance as it radiates exacting thoughts of love towards ourselves and others. What would our life look like if you wiped everyone’s slate clean? Who would we become? The slate while in this presence of now, now free of all judgments would become a sparkling frame to mirror the light of love back to us, as us.

The challenge will be to reclaim the parts of our selves that fear and pain have in their grips, by seeing all experiences for what they have truly been. We will do this by revisiting significant memories in the presence of love. By moving fear and pain into the presence of love we will see each experience as it was intended. Each experience will transform itself from an energetic block to a free flowing force that will ultimately have us choose to take a stand or not, for love. We will release the experiences, no longer our destiny but our way of deciding, to allow our true essence to be fully restored. We will not only become dazzlingly lit but will reveal a beauty reserved for our personal and universal elation.

What is ART- Awareness Realizing Transformation

When we feel a response to art, we are experiencing an intelligence which is beyond our individual self, a sense of some unseen source, a field of information that begins a remembering of profound insights. This remembrance becomes a resonance of vibration. When it is realized it finds and connects to its source which is at the heart of all creation. With each feeling is the creation of a bond from the physical to the nonphysical allowing a new awareness into this field we cannot see. It happens in direct relationship to what it is we are seeing, experiencing or hearing.

The Greeks said music and astronomy were two sides of the same coin. They said astronomy was seen as the study of relationships between observable, permanent, external objects, and music was seen as the study of relationships between invisible, internal, and hidden objects. We know this must be true of all art. Art exists to find ways of communicating which in turn has ways of finding the unseen stirring up pieces and places deep inside our hearts and souls. Simultaneously it stirs up understandings of the infinite unseen pieces and places within the universe. Art has us feel a force which connects us to source and all that is. This force that connects us to source does so by way of the inspiration from all of to find ways to communicate profoudly with all that is. Without this agreement we would not be here and nor would we have reason to survive.

This is not esoteric and not meant to appear mysterious. Art plays its part in the survival of the life force of the human spirit. When we tap into this this field of the unseen we make sense of who we are. To interact with it, is the only way we know we are alive and that our life has meaning. As we boldly reclaim the artist, we take a stand for humanity. To feel and know our true value is to express and create in every area of our life from our unique expression, the Artist. How do we begin? We first understand art as we know it. Looking back in history and even presently we have war, loss, devistation, torture and starvation. The darkest of times have still produced poetry, music, and visual art. So much of what we now revere as Art has been given to humanity from situations of terror like concentration camps or prisons. If in the places where the only focus is on survival and the bare necessities that art lives, it must be then essential to all of life. Art in the traditional sense must be embraced as a neccessity, seen an essential vital form of unseen communication and the essence to nurture our exsistance. It is the place we go to difficult times and also what we do as an expression of the way out of the same difficult times. As we somehow instinctively reach deep within we find our self infinitely at the edge of all thought and reason. Here we find a new understanding and with each new understanding we all miraculously understand somehow.

Let us all allow Art to stand in its fullness and as we do we can begin to stand in our own. Let us all release the thought that Art is a lavish luxury, a hobby, amusement or a passed time. Let us declare that Art is a basic need of human survival and a way we make sense of our lives. Let us realise it is one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no visible words. Let it be known as a way for us to understand things within the depths of our beings when our minds get stuck on what we can only see. Let art becomes a therapist for the human soul. What if we created Art to be a mystical version of a chiropractor, or physical therapist? As art communicates through vibrations of colour, sound and ideas it seems to find the places we need to make sense of inside. It is how we respond by feeling that we get back in balance or aligned again. Once the feeling has been felt we seem to come into harmony within ourselves. As we become harmonious or in tune with ourselves we become restored, healthy, and happy and well. Being harmonious opens us to serve others for humanities highest good and in ways we may not even have thought of yet.

The communication from art aids humanity as it focuss on the unseen, that harmonious truth that is the entire universe. We must each see ourselves within this formation of art and as that a gift to the universe through our unique expression. It also must be understood that what we give will be openend and yet it will be in divine time, cherished by the universe with whom we create, never judged for its value or for its importance. Each choice and action from each, each piece of art we tune into must be seen in perfect balance of all that is and equal in its importance. It is from here can we begin our life as artists. So let us begin to practice the practice of mastering peace. It is the peace within the self that arises from understanding our true value, beauty and purpose. What we see is in reponse to what is being called into balance. This awareness if Artistry.

We call great Artists Masters. We also call those who have astounding comprehension of the Universe Masters. Both work in the awaresness of the unseen and know as they focus on that their work has meaning and is eternal. When we focus on what is seen we will experience work and all its reflections as ephemeral. Short lived is also the happiness from the results so we keep working and working or we give up because we never end up having the awareness which holds the true meaning of life. When we begin tapping into the awareness of the unseen, our work will feel like play and its joy will have it feel urgent, important and gratifying. Awarenesses could be the hope and faith that someone's life is enriched from the service or product we are offering or creating. All of a sudden work matters as we see it through the awareness it is mattering. When work is created through awareness, also when it is loved for all it is, it really matters. As we can watch the outcome of each task take form as thoughts of purpose shape and mold it, we are true visionaries and artists. Love is the awareness that makes life matter; it literally has it take form for us to see. It is when we see from that perspective and inclusion that life makes sense. When we work and love we come to life and live know unity and eternity are one and the same as we. We are also are one and the same, our actions and thoughts are eternal. Everything we do does make a difference and changes all that is.

Now the work and play begins. We do not only expect you of master your piece, we you to expect you to remember its importance. We all know harmony, peace, mutual understanding, and equality of fairness. If we wait for government, religion or a corporation to lead us we will never see the leader within that holds the truth. The future of peace for humankind is within the understanding of how these unseen and seen pieces fit together. Artists know this to be true, that is what we do. We master the unseen and all its awarenesses. We see and know them and have everything else guide us to them. So we are all artists. Remember as we feel a melody, see an image, or allow a movement to touch us we connect to its unseen source. As we connect to this source we remember we are a medley, a vibrational being of color and sound. In this place we truly are the artists and visionaries of our world. Our movements and the way we touch become a dance, an expression which is pure and unique. We remember this source and force is the medium from which we all create. It is simply, easily and profoundly "Love". This is where we realize transformation.

Simply, artistry is remembering we are Love and the source of everything known to be is Love. When we remember this, we see life clearly and know that all is well. When we are able to visit life with neutrality, each experience can be seen as an expression of Love. It is in these moments, when we feel and remember Love; we resonate and know its' truth. When we deny Love's presence we lose our ability to access or feel what is real. To create our life as a masterpiece, as the artists, we simply surrender to the unknown, the unseen, and a source of infinite intelligence that lies within connecting eternity to each of us. We open to seek to understand the purpose of all things. Even in the contrasts of life there is purpose. Artists know of contrast, they utilize and accept this. It is why there is black and white, loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow, up and down, dark and light, more and less, movement and motionlessness, despair and joy, fear and love and also solitude and solidarity. It is all available for us to utilize.

Clear the slate of your mind. Snap shut the clapboard of life and slate. I am (your name). Now imagine being the playwright, the director, the actor and the audience all at the same time. Imagine no longer being cast as background or worse yet, not even getting a part. Imagine your story, your dream and you being the star. Now imagine projecting your story, your dream onto the screen of your life. See each person in your life as a character playing a role that is offered with a gift. See each part as serving and supporting your life, your story in some way. We are all in a continuous story, a story that is all about Love. When we are able to access the Artist within we restore our authority, our understanding and our power as the creator of our life. When we are able to do this… the fun begins!

We are the artists of our life. What we dream is possible. Who we are is magnificent! We are all creative, fabulous, talented Artists here to perform our grandest expression that is everything we are. You are a Master- Peace! As children we knew and remembered this. We knew each moment was all about creation, imagination and play. We can now unite work and play to reveal "way" as the way. The way is for us all to return to the playgrounds of our childhood and imagine our life as a dream. The way is playing, practicing and performing with the unseen. Wake up, and come back to life to live as love. Please come back out to play!!!!

Know Love Now

Lost within a loss
Needed words failing
Flailing in this moment
Silence deafens denies
A cracks of light breaks open truth
In silence we hear…
“Being at a loss is the closest thing to feeling the depth of what is".
Without lost voiceless to find
Silence heroically challenges all doubt
And finds a miraculous moment where words
Are rendered hopeless so sacred words are speechless
This moment we are with you
You stare with a wanting waiting
Baited by what is known and expected
Known and expected negating any other possibility
Where nothing and no one knows
How much is felt here and now about this and what is
Breathless words silence to allow
Truth to be felt
Where a heart can be heard
It’s beat felt as heat
Its warmth to melt all doubt
That we are here
Here with you
As you to hear, see, feel and touch
Who are we?
We are love
