Monsters and antidotes

"In any moment, even if you are not being treated like you wish you were, you can do love and give love because you are love. You are consciousness alive as love, dancing as the fullness of this moment. You are already one with the love you seek. By aligning your breath, body, and mind with this truth of love, your life becomes a vehicle through which love can enter the world and your relationship."
David Deida

Because we are all in this together...

Masque of Morose Looping, -Monster in Mind 20"x20" original acrylic on Canvas
This attractive little monster takes hope (the little feathers on the back) and smooshes it with giving the same reasons in the same order the same reasons in the same order the same reasons in the same order the same reasons in the same order.
A La Christine Lafuente. -Melon and flowers 6"x6" oil on hardboard


"Allow desire to be a doorway through which to give your gifts, rather than a cravenness through which to acquire something. Convert the course of sexual want from contentment to boundlessness. Give from your heart so fully you are as gone as love is wide, all edges vaporized in the flame of sexual combustion. Die into the light of love."
David Deida

Simply not ever quite good enough... 30"x30"


The nature of Reality.
Every once in a while, when I am not so very entranced with the details of the illusion I see the the blue field where the illusion is manufactured from. There is also the black emptiness of peace that flashes up every once in a while. ..but back to the very interesting monsters.
Here is a big one that sets and starts many of the others.

Yesterday I spent the day... the currency of time, with my Grandma. She is 92. I wandered around her place looking at the dishes, the pots and pans, the knickknacks that she has had for as long as I can remember, quite literally. I get to hold her hand now as we walk. I love that.
I love how she moves her hands.
These had have washed alot of dishes, chopped and diced fruit and vegetables,

Love and Meditation

Longing-Lesson 1 How to Miss the Whole Show 20"x20" Original Acrylic on Canvas Monster in Mind Series... Embrace the monster...


"My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love. Meditate so that you can feel immense silence, and love so that your life can become a song, a dance, a celebration. You will have to move between the two, and if you can move easily, if you can move without any effort, you have learned the greatest thing in life."

Mysterious

MOnstEr In Mind

All these ways to this...

"Look for the mysterious in life. Wherever you look – in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river – wherever you look, look for the mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it. Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it. And suddenly a new door opens, a new perception is achieved."
Osho

Self actualization is the hottest new trend! I think that is what he said..AND .Art Sacred

'Languid Desire on 300 thread count floral print Egyptian Cotton Sheets' is the succinct title of this piece. 20"x20"original acrylic on canvas

The series is Monsters in Mind -The seduction of thought forms. See how lovely comfortable, seductive she is... just a few moments of wishing for something as if it is separate from myself.. the little swirl of self pity, the soupcon of envy... how very repetitive and comfortably uncomfortable... this feeling...this monster thought in my mind...

This fun little game of consciousness where as the awareness grows we see that we are the creators ....always.

"It is not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that which is created sacredly, as a result of a deep inner experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes 'art' in time."
Alfred Stieglitz
