the fingerprints of Love, with intention...

~Dr. David R. Hawkins

"There is no art without love. Art is always the making of the soul, the craft of man's touch, whether that touch is corporeal or the touch of the mind and spirit; so it has been since Neanderthal times, and so it will always be. Thus, we find that computer-generated art and even great photographs never calibrate as highly as original paintings. A most interesting kinesiologic experiment, which anyone can reduplicate, is to test the strength of a person who is looking at an original painting and then repeat the test looking at a mechanical reproduction of that painting. When a person looks at something that has been handcrafted, he goes strong; when he looks at a reproduction, he goes weak, and this is true regardless of pictorial content. An original of a disturbing subject will make the subject go stronger than a copy of a pleasant subject. Dedicated artists put love into their work, and there is great power in both the human touch and human originality"

Word Test...(found on Dr. Emoto's facebook page) 

"We put steamed rice in 3 different containers. 

One container with positive words,

 another container with negative words and the other one with no words.

After 11 days past…

(Left) Container with positive words: Still white rice and not much molds
(Centre) Container with negative words: Turn to be black and dark molds
(Right) Container with no words: Turn to be dark greenish molds

Basically these containers have been sealed since the start of the experiment. 

No words spoken were spoken to each rice. 

Only words on the containers changed each rice.

As Dr. Emoto is telling, we are 70% water 

so if you always smile or use positive words, 

it will affect water in your body in a positive way 

but if you are always mad and use negative words, 

you might get sick easily.

Let's be positive and use positive words to yourself and others."

out there vs. in here...

"...remember that value and attraction 

are in the eye of the beholder 

and are not qualities of the world itself. 

What is imagined to be ‘out there’ 

stems from ‘in here’. 

The same applies to cherished positionalities

 and seductive presumptions. 

There are no temptations ‘out there’, 

and their attraction diminishes 

by simple refusal and renunciation."

world as melodrama-mine...

" 'Now-ness' is the primordial, overreaching, all-powerful, unchangeable, and absolute requirement to experiencing. It is the essence of awareness of being and existence. It is impossible to exist anywhere at all except in the drastic, radical reality of now. This instant is all there is. One's own consciousness as Self is the only Eye by which anything can be experienced or known. The inner sense of reality is bestowed by the Self on the 'outer' surroundings, which is what makes them seem real. The sense of realness is therefore a projection of consciousness by the self, originating from the Self. One is therefore not the witness of a 'real' world; one is actually the source of its seeming reality. The world is actually entertainment. Like amusement, it is meant to be worn lightly. Heaven is within and is revealed by awareness. The world is merely an appearance. Its melodrama is an artifice of the distorted sense of perception. It leads one to think that the world is large, powerful, and permanent and that the Self is small, weak, and transitory; exactly the opposite is true."

Chapter 4: The Basics—Rediscovery of The Pristine State

 

mind is not really a ruler...

"One is not really ruled by the mind at all. What the mind reveals is an endless stream of options, all disguised as memories, fantasies, fears, concepts, etc. To get free of domination by the mind, it is only necessary to realize that its parade of subjects is merely an arbitrary cafeteria of selections wending their way across the screen of the mind.

One is not 'forced' to feel resentment by a negative memory, nor does one have to buy into a fearful thought about the future. These are only options. The mind is like a television set running its various channels for selection, and one does not have to follow any particular temptation of thought. One can fall into the temptation of feeling sorry for oneself, or angry, or worried. The secret attraction of all these options is that they offer an inner payoff or a secret satisfaction which is the source of the attraction of the mind's thoughts.

If these payoffs are refused, it will be discovered that, at all times, behind the thought screen, there is a silent, invisible, thought-free space of joy. This is an option that is always available, but to be experienced, it has to be chosen above all other tempting options."

language is metaphor...words are symbols of symbols...

"Let us not forget, however, that words are but symbols of symbols.

 They are thus twice removed from reality." 

~excerpt from A Course in Miracles

 ~)(~

"In and of itself, the world contains no objects, adverbs, or prepositions; neither is there sequence, events, or happenings. Even all verbs are inappropriate. Nothing is ‘doing’ anything. Even nouns are sources of perceptual illusion as a noun stands for an arbitrary selection of boundaries and qualities that have prior existence only in the observer’s mind. What is difficult to see is that all is complete and total in itself and exists as its own self-identity. No ‘thing’ exists, and even if it could, it is not the name given to it. To say, “This is a chair,” is to deny the completeness, wholeness, and absolute self-identity of all that exists. To say, “That is a chair,” is to say that A is actually B. The name, the image, the idea of a chair is again something other than a chair, and the mind is easily deceived by nominalization and linguistic convenience. Abstractions are linguistic conveniences; they have no separate existence. Language is metaphor."
