Weekly Mandala: Crystal Division

The crystalline beginnings of fractal consciousness.  I feel like this is an earlier stage of Prism Mechanics.  As though once this one picks up enough speed it will look more like the other mandala.  Perhaps there is an animated gif in order...hmmmm.  I'll get back to you on that.

From the Archives: Sun Moon

This represents the crystallization of the link between the Sun and Moon, the unification of the conscious and the unconscious.  Diving deep into the unconscious for the Philosopher's stone, the marriage of Heaven and Earth, as above, so below.  This is an image I created for an event poster.  The Sun Moon in the center was later used as a basis for a tattoo design.

Review: H.O.P.E. Tales of the Nuclear Family

This isn't necessarily related to my spiritual content here on Trail of Breadcrumbs, but for those of you interested in comics, I've done a review of H.O.P.E. Tales of the Nuclear Family on my comics art blog, Wind of the Gods. Please check it out here and support these aspiring creators.

Weekly Mandala: Black and White Trio

These three mandalas are all centered on the internal, the discovery within.  In the first mandala, Furtex, we discover a small bit of knotwork at the center of this flowering vortex of fur. The mandala also seems to be taking place in pool of shimmering light.


In the second mandala, States of Weather, we are drawn into an isolated personality and sucked inside the whirling moods of this enigmatic figure.  Four ghostly hands pull back the cloaking fur to reveal The figure, shielded from its exterior world.  The figure seems satisfied to be completely absorbed only in its personal circulations.

In the third mandala, Machina, we uncover the machinery beneath it all. Far beneath snow and mountainous rock, we find the gears of creation whirling the world into existence.  These three mandalas all came from the same source material. Initially, they all had a very light coloration to them, but once they began to move towards completion, I chose to desaturate them completely.

Realization

This is me coming to a greater understanding of the universe through the fruits of my meditation practice.  Growth is the slow movement of vines over a thicket, the breath of living progress.  The empty cup is filled with understanding.

Patience is one of the hardest lessons for me.  I want understanding now!  I want knowledge now!  However there are roads that can only be walked and experienced. Thus the journey becomes the destination.

I usually don't do this sort of thing...

I usually don't link to such viral videos, but I actually stopped and watched this one and it moved me to tears.  He is such an eloquent speaker for a nineteen year old.  I didn't realize that I had been waiting to hear these words 'from the horse's mouth as it were.  I watched it three times and found myself crying.  Please take a look.

Weekly Mandala: Chaos Star Spinning Happiness

This echoes back to Karma and my Sending Out post, but with the addition of the Chaos Star.  Never fight fair.  Nature doesn’t.  However, I do not mean this in the sense of being vicious or vindictive.  Turns guns into flowers, hate into orgasms, conflict into understanding.  Undermine everything  and transform the World.  This is the lesson of Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2023)  combined with Neptune in Pisces (2011-2025) and Uranus in Aries (2010-2019). These forces become the water of life, dissolving the old structures of our world and releasing knowledge and energy.

Our challenge becomes keeping pace with this evolutionary force.  Our world doesn’t end with the finalizing of the Mayan calendar cycle.  It transforms beyond our previous understanding of it.  Try explaining our current world state to someone with a 19^th century worldview and you begin to see. Heck, try explaining our world to someone from the beginning of the 20^th century!  We are in the throes of birth change.  We are becoming the future.  MUTATE NOW!

Occupy Now

The old world is dying and the new world is being born.  Do not listen to the evening news - they are bought and paid for.  This is only the beginning - Occupy and be counted.  If you think the last two links aren't related, just follow the idea of SOPA and PROTECT IP to their logical conclusions and you will see.  Our government has been bought and paid for.

~Occupy Wall Street

~Occupy Together

~We Are the 99 Percent

~The Other 99 (Ustream - live)

~STOP SOPA

~Fight for the Future

Weekly Mandala: Sending Out

The Nature of Karma revealed.  It is a simple admonition that what you send out returns to you, but I feel that it is one of those tenants that you cannot truly understand until you observe it for yourself.  A difficult task for anyone of intensity, for the intensity you send out returns to you.  As above, so below.

Cat Shaman in BioMech Mushroom Gear Visiting the Tundra of Crystals

After an experience earlier this year, an element of the psycheldelic has creeped into my work.  I can't say that I am disappointed or disinterested, just following that strange bunny down the hole to see where it all leads.
