Nonduality - Fragments of art - To be conscious of Being, you need to reclaim consciousness from the mind

We dream that we are awake, we dream that we are asleep. The three states are only varieties of the dream state. Treating everything as a dream liberates. As long as you give reality to dreams, you are their slave. By imaging that you are born as so and so, you become a slave to the so-and-so. The essence of slavery is to imagine yourself to be a process, to have past and future, to have history.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

To be conscious of Being, you need to reclaim consciousness from the mind. This is one of the most essential tasks on your spiritual journey.
Eckhart Tolle

Chakras are centers of distribution of energy throughout the body.

The Chakras

Chakras are centers of distribution of energy throughout the body. There are seven major centers which govern a multitude of lesser centers throughout the body. Five of the major centers are located along the spine and two in the head. The chakras are not within the dense physical body. They exist in the etheric matter and in the aura, outside the physical body.

Each of the major chakras is associated with a gland and major nerve plexus and governs the area of the physical body in which it is found. By influencing the endocrine system and its hormones, the chakras affect the functioning and structure of the tissues of the body, including the organs. The chakras are also associated with various aspects of our experience on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Structure of the Chakras: “Chakra” is a Sanskrit word meaning “wheels of light”. This is descriptive of the appearance of the chakras which are like vortexes of energy which spin. Each chakra is structured uniquely to receive and transmit the particular qualities of energy which are necessary for the area of functioning governed by the chakra.

The seven major chakras are the “root” or “base” chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, brow chakra and crown chakra. The three lower chakras are often described as being related to our functioning as a human being on the “earth plane”. They are controlled by the energies of the planetary physical plane. The chakras above the diaphragm are controlled by the energies of what is called the “cosmic plane”. The upper three chakras, in particular, are involved with the processing of “spiritual” energies. The heart, lying in the middle, is thought to be the connector or transformer which bridges “above and below” or “heaven and earth”. As we progress spiritually, the upper chakras are awakened, producing the expansion and development of the spiritual layers of the aura. The energies of upper and lower chakras are also brought into relationship, transforming each other. The whole chakra system and aura are actually in a state of evolution.

Colors of the Chakras: The chakras are commonly described as having the colors of the rainbow, beginning with red at the root and ending with indigo at the 6th (ajna or brow) chakra. The crown chakra is usually thought to be mostly white light, although some describe it as a light violet hue. There are other systems which describe the chakras as having different colors. The rainbow colors are actually the colors of the chakras at the 2nd, or emotional layer, of the energy field. Since those colors are the brightest, it may be that they dominate in the overall color perceived in a chakra. Also, at this point in time in human evolution, the emotional energy body is very active and this also may account for the popularity of this particular color scheme.

The appearance and structure of the chakras from person to person will vary considerably, depending on:
  • The particular energies which constitute that person’s makeup — there are variations in the basic energetic “constitution” of individuals (ray energies)
  • The point in “evolution” of the person’s chakra system. Chakras can be in various states of “awakening”.
  • The overall health of the energy field. Energy field disturbances can be seen as distortions of the chakras.
  • The current life issues and transitions occurring at a particular time — the chakras can be in a considerable state of flux.

Kahlil Gibran on Love

Kahlil Gibran on Love

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Buddha painting - On Acceptance


How often each day would you have to say I don't want to be where I am? What does it feel like when you don't want to be where you are- the traffic jam, your place of work, the airport lounge, and the people you are with?
It has been said: wherever you go there you are. In other words you are always here. Why is it so hard to accept that?
Surrender is surrender to this moment not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.

Eckhart Tolle

Expressionism - Oneness - You must be the change you wish to see in the world.



You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Mahatma Ghandi

Nothing is not the opposite of everything. Dark is not the opposite of light. Good is not the opposite of bad. They are all the same coin, the head is inseparable from the tail. Yin is entirely dependant on Yang to exist. All opposites arise and fall away together. So, running away is also running toward. Silence is sound, stillness movement. Nothing is everything.

–Mike Jenkins

There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.

Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That. - Rumi

Poems On Love

 Oilpaint by Jane Monica Tvedt

"Poems On Love

Love adorns itself;
it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.

Love does not claim possession,
but gives freedom.

Love is an endless mystery,
for it has nothing else to explain it.

Love's gift cannot be given,
it waits to be accepted."
Rabindranath Tagore

Lend a hand when you can, get involved this is good. You can help to make a difference in your neighborhood."

 
"Sometimes just a smile on your face
Can help to make this world a better place.
Stand up for the things that are right.
Try to talk things out instead of fight.
Lend a hand when you can, get involved this is good.
You can help to make a difference in your neighborhood."

The road not taken

 Oil painting by Jane Monica Tvedt 

The Road Not Taken
 By Robert Frost
 
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;       
 
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,      
 
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.  
 
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Det er kjærligheten som får oss til å blomstre....

 Fragment of angel paint by Jane Monica Tvedt
Bildet er å se ved "seperatutstillingen i Egersund - Evangeliehuset
Det er kjærlighet som får oss til å blomstre -
ikke vårt utseende,
ikke vårt arbeid,
ikke våre ambisjoner,
ikke våre bragder,
ikke våre foreldre,
ikke vår status,
ikke våre drømmer.
Alt dette andre er fyllmasse,
drivstoff i våre liv.
Men det
er kjærligheten - hvem vi elsker,
hvordan vi elsker,
hvorfor vi elsker og at vi elsker -
som virkelig danner oss.

I dag! 
Har noen sagt til
deg hvor verdifull du er...? At de er glad i deg og liker deg...? At de setter
pris på din godhet og nyter godt av din omtenksomhet...? At du er snill og sprer
glede med ditt SMIL.:-)...Ikke i dag...? Da vil jeg gjøre det og takke for at du
er du:-)..
ha en fin dag..klem ♥

Abstract art - Positive thoughts

It is important to recognize the power of our emotions – and to take responsibility for them by creating a light and positive atmosphere around ourselves. This attitude of joy that we create helps alleviate states of hopelessness, loneliness, and despair. Our relationships with others thus naturally improve, and little by little the whole of society becomes more positive and balanced. – Tarthang Tulku

Vi er en del av jorden, og den er en del av oss.


 Painting by Jane Monica Tvedt

En vakker tale verdt å dele.

"Vi er en del av jorden, og den er en del av oss.
De duftende blomster er våre søstre.
Hjorten, hesten, den store ørn, de er våre brødre.
Fjellene, saften i gresset, ponnienes kroppsvarme og menneskets,
alt tilhører den samme familie.
Vinden som ga våre forfedre deres første åndedrag,
mottok også deres siste sukk.
Og vinden vil også skjenke våre barn livets ånd.

Hva er mennesket uten dyrene?
Hvis alle dyr var borte, ville mennesket dø av åndelig ensomhet,
for alt som skjer med dyrene vil også ramme mennesket.
Alt henger sammen.
Alt som rammer jorden, rammer også jordens sønner.
Dette vet vi: Jorden tilhører ikke mennesket.
Mennesket tilhører jorden.
Alt henger sammen slik blodet forener familien.
Alt henger sammen.

Mennesket vevde ikke livet, vi er bare en tråd i veven.
Alt vi gjør mot veven, gjør vi mot oss selv."

(Utdrag fra høvding Seattles tale til den amerikanske presidenten i 1854.)

To be an angel, one need not to have wings....

"To be an angel, one need not have wings.
In giving love there is an equal grace.
Nor need one seek the aura in the face,
As love unveils the beauty of all things."
