If not now, when?

Anyone who practices can obtain success in yoga but not one who is lazy.  Constant practice alone is the secret of success.  

(Hatha Yoga Pradipika)

Yoga is 99% practice and 1% theory. 

(Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois)

Before you've practiced, the theory is useless.  After you've practiced, the theory is obvious. 

(David Williams)

what I've learned from you...

Don't try to change someone who doesn't want to change himself. Besides, remember how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. 

Don't lose yourself in a relationship. It is not right when two people become one, the end result are two half individuals. If individuum ceases to exist you should become more than you were before. 

The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. Your primary relationship must be with yourself because all others are mirrors of it. When you learn to love yourself, you automatically receive the love and appreciation that you deserve from others. If you are committed to yourself and if you are living your truth, you will attract others with equal commitment.

Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
But that doesn't mean you don't deserve better.

mit o androginu

("Shell" by Vladimir Kush)

Grški mit o androginu pripoveduje o bitju, ki je bilo hkrati moški in in ženska, ki je imelo dve glavi, dvoje rok in nog. Po mnogih lastnostih so se približali bogovom, zato so se ti odločili, da jih razpolovijo na dvoje in jim s tem odvzamejo moč. Od takrat človek sam tava po svetu in išče svojo drugo polovico, s katero bo spet dosegel popolno stanje enosti. 

 * Beseda SPOL, ki jo uporabljamo za označevanje moških in ženskih oseb, izvira iz glagola RAZPOLOVITI.

 

 * Mednarodna beseda SEKS izvira iz latinske besede sexus (še prej secus), ta pa izvira iz glagola seco, secere, ki pomeni SEKATI, RAZDELITI NA DVE POLOVICI. 

 

* Latinski koren besede PARTNER je pars oz. partes, kar označuje DEL CELOTE.

 

("Kiss" by Alex Grey)

There are those that do not believe that a single soul born in heaven can split into twin spirits and shoot like falling stars to earth where over oceans and continents their magnetic forces will finally unite them back into one. But, how else to explain love at first sight?

(Don Juan DeMarco)

("Beloved" by Autumn Sky Morrison)

"As for your soulmate, he/she DOES exist.

 There's more than one for you, actually... 

(Karen M. Black)

("Symbiosis" by Autumn Sky Morrison)

 Most people have more than one soul mate. You may already be in several soul mate relationships with friends and loved ones. A soul mate can come in the form of a life partner, treasured friend, child, or lover. A soul mate can be someone with whom you share a spiritual path, a joint work in the world, or a commitment to be parents to certain souls. It can be someone whose growth you are sponsoring, such as a child. There are several illusions about soulmates. One is that your soul mate is someone you will be with for the rest of your life. You can have a soul mate relationship that lasts a few weeks, months, or years. Time has nothing to do with the quality of your connection and its importance in your life.

(Sanaya Roman)

("Eternal Love" by Oleg Korolev)

Soul mates are those that we've known many lifetimes, have had many karmic contacts with, and with whom we have resolved conflicts. With true soul mates, there is no struggle. What's left over is love." 

(Karen M. Black)

world book day :)

"Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't."

 

earth day

The earth has a skin and that skin has diseases, one of its diseases is called man.

(Friedrich Nietzsche)

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”    (Wendell Berry)

You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.

(Jean-Jacques Rousseau)

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money. (Cree Proverb)

 

-omnia-ab-uno-et-in-unum-omnia-

Universe

uni : one

verse : poem or song 

Godself sings one song

Moment by moment

With infinite variations.

All sounds, one symphony.

All visions, one icon.

All beings, one actor.

O Microcosm,

Hear with God's ear,

See with god's eye. 

(Alex Grey)

"The many faces of Collective Vision united by the mandalic eye-field suggest both expansion of consciousness and sharing of consciousness with other beings. The painting was based on a profoundly ego dissolving entheogenic mystical trance where I heard the words, ‘Infinite Oneness... the Oneness should never forget the Infinitude and the Infinitude should never forget the Oneness...’ "

 

Theologue -

The union of human and divine consciousness weaving the fabric of space and time in which the self and it's surroundings are embedded.

Universal Mind Lattice -

No longer identified with or limited by our physical bodies, our essence is an individual fountain and drain of Light, interlocked with an infinite omni-directional network of similar energy cells, the interpenetrating consciousness of all beings and things.

Spiritual Energy System portrays dissolving boundaries between our self and surroundings. The body has become a permeable channel for the circulation of the esoteric energies of higher consciousness that are ever present and connect self and world. Parallel lines of force stream through the body extending out the crown of the head and curling back around to the feet, creating a toroidal flow.

Namaste!

inside out

"Vision is the art of seeing the invisible"

(Jonathan Swift)

Come inside and realize the limitlessness of your own vision... 

Dare to find, and you’ll see just how much you’ll discover...

four questions

"There are four questions of value in life... 

What is sacred? 

Of what is the spirit made? 

What is worth living for?

What is worth dying for? 

The answer to each is the same. 

Only Love." 

(Don Juan deMarco)

god is love

(Sri yantra by Emma Watkinson)

Religion is love affair with existence. 

H.R.Giger vs. Andrew Gonzalez

"Most of my paintings are done in the way of the surrealist painters, intuitively.

 Some people say my work is often depressing and pessimistic, with the emphasis on death, blood, overcrowding, strange beings and so on, but I don't really think it is. There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it."

(H. R. Giger)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"For me, drawing and painting became soul-crafting. 

 Feeling the need to contribute transformative images of beauty to the collective imagination, my imagery would develope an implicit antithesis to H. R. Giger's artwork. I felt driven to show in my work the liberation of the body and soul out of the dark depths of decay and perverse eroticism. By sublimating the erotic towards an angelic sensuality and by using ascension and rebirth symbolism, a sacred eros would emerge as the predominant theme of my work.

Not the erotic as simply the sexual, but as our bodily communion with the living flow and rhythms of energy. I can feel this primordial living energy flow through me as I paint, forming into the sensual movement of a transfiguring biosophic flame that flows through and around the figures in my imagery, suspending them in an ecstatic moment, an eternal dance poised on the threshold of a new birth. It is the archetypal dance of the sphere and the serpentine movement of form. The dance of the spermatozoa and the ovum, the serpent and the egg, the dragon and the pearl and the life giving waters of the comet and the sacred ground of the earth."
