dissolving identity

dissolve.jpg

At the heart of the art of stillness, is a process called dissolving identity. a process of letting go of any attachments to the self. the unveiling of the true identity may be a quest that will takes a while, Satori may appear ( the moments of enlightenments) -  suddenly surfacing and sometimes for a short moments, then fades again. Its the way the nature of it, as a more and more practice may jump back into another satori moments that can be prolonged.  During the satori, is the point of unlimited possibilities, moments of real beauty. a feel of bliss. a feel that keep you wanting to be there once again. Again with no attachments. wanting without needs. no objectivity. wanting to be just presence. as is.

Towards enlightment part 1

Painting of enlightment part 1

Art of stillness, embrace the principle of living the way of the three jewels, which is the art of knowing (Buddha nature, the truth), the art of dharma (the practice) and the art of sangha (the learning and growth).

Part 1: Art of knowing.
Knowing the truth,knowing the eternal, bliss, the self and the pure, the true nature. the state of non changing.the ultimate.is a goal of each painting.is a collective goal of the spirit of an artist with his painting, is a spiritual goal of an artist as a human.

Knowing and refection curving inside.
Knowing of the endless possibility and joyful journey awaiting to be unlock on the way. Just as human, knowing the true potential of a being, we are spiritual being just having a human experience. Just as a painting, each have a spirit of its own. have dreams of its own.
Knowing as it.
Knowing, and start to have faith.

Knowing as is will connect it to the source. And start to sync harmoniously with the source. Just as letting go of the oars, moving downstream in a boat. At ease. Tune in, Turn on and tap into the power of the source.

And the artist and his art is spirit of its own. Just as each cells of the body, is a lifeforms of it’s own. a human as a lifeforms of it’s own. a human race, a country, our world, or even our own universe have it’s collective belief system, the dreams of its own. the survival of its own.

Just as me and my art. I know that in each painting is a seed that have unlimited potentiality. As the findings of the quantum physics clearly stated once we decide of what is, then all the potentiality will collapse into one. But then from one, there is a future of another unlimited possibilites. A painting session is an endless process of embracing, deciding and collapsing things into one, each moments by moments, and endlessly. Stokes by strokes. Just as life moving from moments to moments. Just as a moment being collapsed into one, we are in the field of potentiality again.

the point of stillness

the point of stillness

Be presence. Aware. In total attention. Then, there is breathing in, then breathing out. not to to force anything. let it be at ease. just relax. Feel the joy of the rythm.
After awhile,lengthen the breathing out… the surrender. not by forcing. at ease. just as a knowing that you want to legthen it. fall into the rythm again. and at the end point of the breathing out. just moments before the breathing in again. linger awhile there. that’s is the point of stillness. the gap. the time where the mind is not around. pure silence. quite. stillness. the presence. connected to the source.

A work of Individuality not of Personality?

A work of Individuality not of Personality?

Personality is just a mask that is imposed from the outside, a lie that is to be made believe. On the other hand individuality, is something which is as is. But the more personality being introduce into a “painting”, the less the individuality it may have. Individuality is silent, loving, full of compassions. But yet personality is something which is nothing but a reinforce of the “I”, the ego, which is aggressive, political and violent.

A striving for individuality is a strive for authenticity, grounded in the truth of existence, which is clarity but neither sureness nor unsureness. It is our choice. Personality artform or individuality artform. There is so much different. No need to really think about that. Just meditate. Watch your mind… finding the answer. Be a watcher.

art in abundance

It is our birthright to live in abundance. Creating and doing art the abundance way, only then the law of karma will be easily applied. And the law of attractions will starts to function. More choices. More alternatives. More selections. Unlimited. Abundance.

some snapshots of my arts in progress… when preparing level one (source) images…never limits, no attachments, no judgments. just do it. feel the joy. be in the NOW.

slide21.jpg

and a snapshot of art making session (which ended after few days). Let the unconscious generate all the arts. Just total surrender. Follow the bliss. At the end you will be surprise by the outcome… as always.

The law of attraction

I wrote this for a friend, then reading thru it again it is also actually my art process…

The law of attraction.

If we are really, really, really, want something so badly; it will be around. It will come. We wish for it. We intent for it. Then it is our task to allow it to happen. Be happy all times. Although all those things might be in the future, but we can start experiencing now. As is those things already within reach. Be happy always. Feel the joy. This is the power of the law of attraction. The law that attracting anything into our life. Be in total faith. The universe always line up the best to us. While waiting for the best to come, be in total gratitude on whats we already have. Let the universe unfold. Sometimes it fast, sometimes It may takes some little time that it need. That is how nature is. We should align ourselves with nature. Be at ease.

——

To summarize:

1) Intention - Visualize, Feel the joy of having it(dreaming it). Be grateful.

2) Allow it. - We will got anything once we don’t need it. State your wanting. Stop the needing for it. Be detach. Be grateful. In total faith.

We are both the creator and the destroyer.

We are both the creator and the destroyer.
We are both the creator and the destroyer. Accept it. Be true. Be truthful. So follow the flow. Ride the vibrations. We have to destroy in order to create.

A seed need to die in order to become a tree. Just as a caterpillar have to undergo metamorphosis (to die) in order to become a butterfly. Death is becoming. Death creates. As is destruction is part of the process of creation. It is a same. In order to create, we have to allow destruction. To allow in order to receive.

Human have to die. In order to “become”. In order to be born again. So why fear death as it is just a way of “becoming”. The cycles of reincarnations. Even in this current life we have died and reborn every moments. I never myself a year, or even a minutes ago. Myself a moment ago has to die in order to be me in the NOW. It just as it is.

If death is only a process. Are we really die. Our physical body may die. But not the spirit and awareness. We never die.

The idea(the nature who you are) continues, the dreams continues, even in different “realms”. And then reborn in physical again.

The law of karma

What we are today are the result and outcome from what we have done in the past. The auditing of the universe is so perfect. Nothing can escape the law of karma.

What happened today, is a result of past deeds that find the right environment to materialise.

When we living thru our life we are attracting “seeds”. When there is a matching, preferable environment, the seeds will grow.

The art of stillness

Only when there is no-things, emptiness, then can we enter the field of stillness... where anythings is possible.
