This idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. No one really sees anything. He sees only his thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the past is the cause of the misconception about time from which your seeing suffers. Your mind cannot grasp the present, which is the only time there is. It therefore cannot understand time, and, in fact, understand anything.
The one wholly true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to think about illusions.

Biography
Art is a language wherein harmonies are born and that language becomes a Song of Love and Light. Art is our divine self-expression. Art forms are lines, squares, circles, triangles, colors imbued with the artist’s spiritual energy... A vision drawn out in a visual landscape of symbols, transcendent by the mere presence of passionate energy. Art is a portal into your own power. You can intellectualize art, record its history, its pedigrees, but its primal pulse, its language, its communication...that is another thing. Biographically speaking, I am the daughter of a painter, lived in France for some years and met Picasso during that time.

Song of Empowerment
How deliberate do you want to be in delineating your world? Do you want to take the time and attention to pour energy into the minutiae of a day. Sooner you call for the perfection of the day. Your paintbrush makes more sweeping strokes.
Perhaps the ultimate thoughtform stategy--since it programs itself as so complete that nothing need be added nor subtracted--is to affirm the existence of Perfection. You have been taught that no one is perfect. That programming in and of itself is enough to sabotage dreams.
Perfection is the story of completion. When you see a mandala, a pattern completing, there is an energetic jump, a new level of engagement, a joy. Then it is complete. It is perfect. But, it is not static. This completion signals a new cycle to be explored.
"Inside" of you is a myriad of points of perfection, the ethereal existence, the coming and going of pure potentiality. You are perfection. In each Now, you are perfection, yet still evolving through your own self expression, through each and every Now. Every Now is a doorway, a portal into endlessly rich possibilities. Perfection hides inside this moment, this Now. Through your own creative act of consciousness, you dive into the golden sea of intelligent energy, twirling and dancing and soaring. These pure actions create an experience of life for you. You are an unfolding perfection and Now...A Song of Empowerment.

Feng Shui To Go
I have named this blog "fengshui-to-go", so I could share a few things with you; show you a few paintings to soothe and relax you and maybe even entertain you. I know that we look out at the world and wonder how to proceed, how to go about this process referred to as life.
In learning my craft, I came to know my inner artist, and then I came to know that we are all "inner artists". We are creative beings dealing in thoughtforms; encoded energy. We are constantly thoughtforming, creating aspects of our lives...and therein lies the rub.
Movies and tv entertain us, but they also entrain us, offering models of life expression. We sit down with popcorn in front of a screen and tune in to a brief, but total submersion into another flavor of reality. Of course, we come back to our own life when the theatrics end, but we absorbed the drama, we took it into our imagination. And duality marches on. Now we use various clips to fuel our next steps forward. The movie, for example, is drawn on a timeline of consequences, and if the movie works, we are left with a new nuance of imperative; a sharpening of direction. We have been mesmerized. We can wash off the butter from popcorn, but our fictional focus goes into the mix. Within the movie we are further conditioned to thrive on embedded elements like urgency. "Everything depends on it". We steel ourselves to ward off attacks. This all to the good, if you want your "creation" to run ahead of you, a virtual trainwreck.
In these instances, you set yourself up. You make an equation of "conditional" circumstances. Such "adventures" can be stimulating if you are alert to the "process" and utilizing it to your own avails. The problem in adopting a script that enchants you is your lack of thoroughness. Beneath it all, if you don't believe in your own happy ending, you really are changing the script. There's another element underneath; a subplot.
And so, from a "virtual" flow of images and sounds, we assemble a slideshow and then the "world" seems to happen to us. We may not question the actual process... that act of consciousness that got us there. And it may not be important that we do. What is important, is that the input is, more often than not, haphazard, unexamined material, that we take in and blend.
That is why Feng Shui is a gift to us. Once you realize that your perception shapes your reality, you can begin to be "intentional". You can design your life. You can take the world input and filter it, through affirmations.

Magnifique huile sur toile , où on distingue ces 2 cygnes à travers la brume en tête à tête , formant un coeur , et de plus , nous apparait à travers leurs réflections sur l'eau , comme un porte bonheur avec ce trèfle à quatre feuilles . Bravo c'est très beau !
