Elemental Healing

When you have a reading with me, I give you an elemental cross reading. In a reading session, these cards are often displaced showing me insight on your life and how spirit is acting as an alchemist in transmuting these elements to manifest the life you’re currently living.

As a thank you for booking with me, I send you a mini booklet on the meanings behind each position and each element. Generally speaking this is how I heal others and how they gain insight, most of the time people need a little logic to believe you, and reading with the elements gives the client a balance of logic and spirit.

So for example, this graphic I made shows how an elemental cross should look if you want to achieve in buying a house. Where the elements should be placed in a reading. If the elements are showing in their respective positions, while the individual may be balanced, in terms of buying a house the process is often very uprooting so the individual may appear to be slightly unbalanced. When helping a client, I often suggest that this is how your energetic pattern should appear if you want to buy a house, etc.

Cellular Automata: The connection between cellular automata and printmaking

While working on the development of my portfolio, I noticed something interesting between the cellular automata research and the printmaking I have done. Cellular Automata focuses on feed and decay rates to produce a system of organizing cells and functions. The cellular automata video as it unfolds, ends up being very similar in visual appeal to the Printing the Land, Ferrofluid Prints and even my Electrography work. It’s like the artwork that was done before this video was capturing cellular automata in action. 

Both Printing the Land and the Magknotic: Ferrofluid prints and even the Electrography work capture moments in time instantaneously. Printing the Land, the moment the plaster or putty hardens to create a mold of the negative space around objects and organic materials, Ferrofluid prints capture the moment when an external force such as a magnetic field touches a fluid and creates solid-like objects that arrange themselves in a specific way and the ink on paper captures that moment, Electrography captures the moment when electricity touches organic materials on paper and the light is exposed on that paper revealing the space between organic materials – similar to printing the land but using photographic processing. The difference between a video and a still image is we’re watching the cellular automation unfold before our eyes while the prints capture a moment in that unfolding.

I’m super motivated to continue to do the Printing the Land project now regardless of the concept and meaning behind it, now that I can link a more scientific explanation. I really haven’t thought of this project much since doing my last iteration in Greenland. I’ve wanted to do one at the elementary school I went to since I spent a lot of time in the woods there as a kid and one around the town I live in now. 

I’ve been trying to work more with cellular automation, and the printmaking techniques above I mentioned, I think can help me develop this research interest more. Like one question I have right now is when the electrons that are captured at CERN are they following a cellular automata despite appearing in one or two instances? 

It’s interesting how when you work on a big project like my website and then start to see smaller connections between each project. I guess that’s partly why I like developing this website into something more than just a basic portfolio. Just putting work up on line I personally feel like it looses some of the depth rather than seeing it in person or articulating it more through text, marketing and photos and images. 

However, the goal of the ABBA research interest (space in-between) is to explain how organic objects and materials form at an atomic/subatomic level. But maybe it’s an instance of AASB (As above, so below) as well?

The Heavenly Throne

The Heavenly Throne

4 After these things I looked, and behold, an open door in heaven, and the former voice that I had heard like a trumpet speaking with me was saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things which must take place after these things.” 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one was seated on the throne. 3 And the one seated was similar in appearance to jasper and carnelian stone, and a rainbow was around the throne similar in appearance to emerald. 4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders dressed in white clothing, and on their heads were gold crowns. 5 And from the throne came out lightnings and sounds and thunders, and seven torches of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. 6 And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal, and in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 And the first living creature was similar to a lion, and the second living creature was similar to an ox, and the third living creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth living creature was similar to an eagle flying. 8 And the four living creatures, each one[a] of them, had six wings apiece, full of eyes around and inside, and they do not have rest day and night, saying,

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful,[b]
    the one who was and the one who is and the one who is coming!”

9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever[c], 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who is seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever[d], and put down their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
because you have created all things,
    and because of your will they existed and were created.”

Art Evidence

Aside from textual evidence of the Devas, there is potentially stronger evidence in some of the most popular renaissance paintings of the gods and goddesses. After all the word renaissance itself means ‘rebirth’. In the Devas origin story paper; Ouranos – From Creation to Creation, it’s mentioned that the renaissance paintings may -indeed- have actually happened, and not just a figment of the artists’ imagination. However, modern human comprehension has not witnessed a Deva in human form, or anything of religious origin in every day mundane life, therefore these paintings appear mythological, fantastical, imaginary and fantasy based.

One example is the Birth of Venus painting;

The Birth of Venus (Italian: Nascita di Venere[ˈnaʃʃita di ˈvɛːnere]) is a painting by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, probably executed in the mid 1480s. It depicts the goddess Venus arriving at the shore after her birth, when she had emerged from the sea fully-grown (called Venus Anadyomene and often depicted in art). The painting is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

In the centre the newly born goddess Venus stands nude in a giant scallop shell. The size of the shell is purely imaginary, and is also found in classical depictions of the subject.[3] At the left the wind god Zephyr blows at her, with the wind shown by lines radiating from his mouth. He is in the air, and carries a young female, who is also blowing, but less forcefully. Both have wings. Vasari was probably correct in identifying her as “Aura”, personification of a lighter breeze.[4] Their joint efforts are blowing Venus towards the shore, and blowing the hair and clothes of the other figures to the right.[5]

wikipedia

The Birth of Venus is depicting a mythological event that actually happened! The goddess of Venus appeared/materialized in human form for the first time (‘birth’) with the help of the water and air elements/gods and goddesses. The full name of Venus is, Venus Anadyomene[1] (from Greek, “Venus Rising From the Sea”), and coincides with other instances of fish and human combinations.

The Secret of Sion Passage

Sion

Our destination, says Revelation, is Sion, a mystical place that gave its name to Sion (or Zion), the sacred mountain of the Jews and to Jerusalem, although Mormons believe Sion is a place in America. Both traditions agree that only the “pure in heart” can enter and dwell in Sion.

The Book of Hebrews 12:22-23 says Sion is “the Holy City of the living god, the heavenly Jerusalem, and (arrival there marks) our acceptance into an innumerable company of angels and just humans made perfect”. 

Just ‘upright’, ‘righteous’, ‘balanced’.

Humans ‘a member of the species homo sapien,’ ‘no animal, divine, or machine’.

Made ‘shaped’, ‘formed’.

Perfect ‘complete,’ ‘fully developed’, ‘whole’. Holy

Clearly, we are being told Sion is a Spiritual place beyond the physical realm. Also, Sion’s godly inhabitants are actually transformed or ascended humans, ‘just humans made perfect,’ who live in the company of angels in the heavenly city. The good people of Sion are (w)holy otherworldly beings. 

Achievement of perfection or completion (full human potential), and purity (‘righteousness’), is the aim of many spiritual traditions. I will particularly view perfection through the Gnostic Christian and Tibetan tradition, where we find the Great Perfection or “Great Complete” teaching. 

The achievement of Perfection is attained by raising or accelerating the vibration of the human body until it dissolves, leaving behind only hair, toe and fingernails, which have no nerves to be transmuted. It then morphs into a vortex of five-colored, rainbow light or what is called the Rainbow Body.

I believe this glowing body is the same as the Beaming Garment. This explains why, in Christian art, the resurrected or perfected Jesus is shown on or in a rainbow ring that forms his body and his throne.

The means to Perfect the Beaming Garment is the Secret of Secrets, and the Secret of Sion, for in order to enter Sion we must transform into perfect or light beings. 

The aim of the Great Perfection is to awaken the individual to the primordial state of enlightenment, which is naturally found in all beings. The initiate’s goal is to integrate enlightenment into all his or her activities and to unite the physical body with the energy of Nature. The supreme realization of which lies in the manifestation of the “Rainbow Body” or body of light. Hence, those who have achieved the Great Perfection are depicted on or in a rainbow.

There is an exact parallel between the Tibetan depictions of the perfected ones and the Christian images of the resurrected Jesus. It is possible that Jesus learned the secrets of the Great Perfection while living in India and/or Tibet during His so-called ‘lost’ or ‘missing’ years between the ages of twelve and thirty. 

The “rainbow Bridge” symbolizes the link between Heaven and Earth. It appears in many religions and mythologies, especially in the early goddess traditions. In some Tibetan tangkas (sit paintings that depict the life of the Buddha), the circular rainbow stands for the actual presence of the Buddha Samantabhadra, the All-good. In the Thai Buddhis mythology, the rainbow is a staircase linking the heavens through which a tribe of wise serpent beings called nagas travel. It is safe to say that when you see a rainbow in sacred art it is usually viewed as a link between heaven and earth. Hence, it symbolizes ascension, and also the Stargate.
