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.
