«  We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.  »

-Albert Einstein

• I am sending my Angel out to all of those who are now in an untenable situation and who are feeling devastated. Perhaps you are surrounded by a catastrophe brought on by nature, your fellow man or even your own body and feel totally abandoned by God wondering why He lets these things happen.

• Although I call the response I received in water my Angel I know that these entities that live around us do recognize our plights. They have no gravitational mass so they cannot alter our physical realities all at once. What they can do is give us inspiration, guidance and revive our inner energies if we breathe and become silent. They are our abstract companions sharing our common world from an extra-dimension. I affirm that in a scientific verifiable way.

• We have not been taught to relate with these entities so we stored them in the domain of myth and superstition. Men took over the domain of sacred knowledge and have made it a battleground for their ego. Today, I bring  Spirit into the light of scientific understanding. I want you to be aware that when you are asking for help, Spirit hears you. BREATHE deeply and listen to the guidance that is forthcoming, the burst of energy needed to climb those last steps will manifest in you now. BREATHE...BREATHE

• Life will always give every encouragement to the initiative of Spirit, when we go to the depths of our beings to assemble courage and strength to carry on for ourselves and our loved ones.*** On all levels the balance of life is found through instability. Survival itself, and certainly the pursuit of excellence and effectiveness, require us to recognize within ourselves the exact best response to the demands of every changing situation. We expand our skills, experience and understanding only when we are stretched.

• Trust that you will be guided through this crisis no matter what. I have sent you this Angel to assist you find your own Angel. On this link you can read one of my most astounding Angel stories that involved a sports team, a city and an emerging artist, me.

This is the sequence of photographs that created the gif above. In the first two images on the left you can see me with my camera trying to capture how water will respond to my installation. At that time, I was waiting to pass an MRI due to suspicious lumps in my abdomen. Observe that first there is a ray of light moving in the bowl of water and then the gorgeous face emerges from the center. The entire sequence manifested in less than 2 minutes but I took over 200 photographs to seize this action. The Healing Angel © Lena Ghio, 2019 

This is the last image on the right from the sequence above. As you may observe from image 2, the original, the features are so pale they are hard to define. I knew there was a face there because when the image is small, like image 1, we see the face very clearly. I underline this because sometimes you may not feel like you are seeing the hand of Spirit operating for you when in fact it is simply subtle. I applied several sharpening and despeckling functions from Photoshop that can darken the image without altering the content. The end result is a dazzlingly beautiful face with a white dove descending upon it 4. This is a traditional archetype of how God speaks with us in many cultures.

The white dove is a symbol of love and life-rejuvenation. 

Matthew 3:16-17:

"As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him."

LES ESTIVANTS de Valeria Bruni Tedeschi

Bande Annonce Add caption

La cinéaste Valeria Bruni Tedeschi tient le premier rôle dans ce film dont elle a aussi écrit le scénario. C'est l'histoire d'une femme, Anna,  qui apprend quelques jours avant ses vacances que son amant la quitte pour une autre. La critique française reconnaît dans le dénouement du film l'impasse dans laquelle est plongée Valeria Bruni Tedeschi depuis que son amoureux de longue date, Louis Garrel, l'a quitté pour épousé l'actrice Laetitia Casta. Elle s'est inspiré aussi de la vie et du caractère de son illustre beau frère Nicholas Sarkozy époux de sa sœur Carla Bruni.

Ce que j'ai aimé du film c'est son exploration de l'absurdité de certains personnages ainsi que les répliques étonnantes entre les personnages. Un après l'autre dévoilent ce qui est embarrassant d'être humain et ce qui est inévitable. Cela m'a fait rire par moment et réfléchir à cette façon dont l'histoire humaine se répète sans cesse! Par exemple quand Anna révèle que son oncle mettait ses doigts dans sa culotte sa mère réplique avec l'histoire de sa molestation et justifie son inaction à défendre sa fille en disant que toutes les femmes ont eu des mésaventures dans leur jeunesse.

HOW TO MASTER THE STARS • Homo Mag Astrum • Nature vs Human Mass

Emerge Art does Google, May 6, 2019 © Lena Ghio, 2019 

 

FRANÇAIS app de traduction à gauche

A VERY SPECIAL CHALLENGE

The challenge is to use art with the time of celestial mechanics to channel the healing force of the universe into the heart of Earth.

Let me explain...

• Our ancestors were very preoccupied with maintaining a good relationship with the hidden forces of nature. The universal symbol of this sacred task is the pentagram ✰. This symbol represents their mindset perfectly. The meaning of the pentagram is one branch each for water, fire, air, earth and one for the Spirit that keeps them balanced. It is also the symbol of Human.

• I am completing and publishing this article from May 14, 2019 as Mercury in Taurus is approaching the exact Biquintile to Jupiter in Sagittarius for a drop on May 15, 2019 at 11:54 AM EDT when the aspect is in force and augmented by the Moon in Libra ruled by Venus in her own home Taurus that rules over our gardens and insures the blossoming of what we cultivate. I took the images of the flooded homes in the last days of April 2019 as we collectively see the effects of global warming there where we live. These lovely homes belong to neighbors that live very close to our family's home. When I developed my strategy for How to Master The Stars in 1993, I wanted every element of the astrological symbolism that impacts our human experience and understanding of the world to be accounted for in our contemporary context where there is overpopulation, dramatic climate challenges that threaten life on Earth and revolutionary technology. I concluded that the planet Mercury should represent the Human Mass, in other words the combined effect on our planet of all of us as one. I publish this article in a moment where Mercury as representative of Human is very powerful. As our technology allows us to stretch in outer space it is sensible to accept that we do have an effect on gravitational modulations throughout our solar system even if it is minimal. As I synthesize the actions I took for the Art Challenge for Climate Change and list new planetary configurations you can work with I will share this excerpt from the book How to Master The Stars:

« The next expansion of the rulers of the  zodiac is tentative. Its purpose is to integrate the forces of humanity, the Earth and the Spirit into our understanding of the solar system through astrology. Human [1] as in the human mass, should rule the sign  Virgo and the sixth house of the zodiac. It is the human race which is the terrestrial vehicle of the celestial function of Virgo: daily labor, agriculture,  health maintenance and cleanliness. The traditional rulership of Mercury  on Virgo means that the actions of Human begin in his thoughts and in his imagination, the domains of Mercury. Also that the rulership of  Human on Virgo will be activated by the transits of Mercury or by the transits of other planets  to the native Mercury. As we approach the Aquarian Age the mental functions of  Human will be  exalted as they are with Mercury in Aquarius. Exalted Mercury in Aquarius is the symbol of a cosmic consciousness that creates in the human itself an ability to reason that is inspired by the highest intelligence in the universe. Our ability to communicate will increase gradually through the New Age. Human will become more and more in contact with his Higher Self and will develop new talents to solve problems based on a thorough understanding of the laws and forces that govern the universe and especially how they affect his daily life.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius and the ninth house. Our metaphysical thoughts will take a codified form to be perpetuated and shared between the peoples of the Earth and, perhaps, with those of other worlds.  ( Interestingly our technology has evolved light years since the year I wrote this. ) The Spirit speaks to us through our cultures, traditions and values. We learn from other cultures how the Spirit speaks to them and we extend our horizons and our perceptions. In return, this regularizes our behavior towards each one to reflect the joy and the optimism of our own spirit which is manifested in movement and thought.

Earth should rule Capricorn [2]. It is the home of  Human, the place where his seeds will grow, the place where his actions will make sense. Capricorn represents the time of winter where living conditions challenge us. Our planet is a magical world. Earth gives Human the power and the resources needed to be fulfilled in the cosmos. For us, power begins on Earth, without it we do not exist. From as far back as knowledge goes, Earth appears to be the only planet that has nurtured a curious intelligence capable of crossing the entire solar system to understand its existence! The etheric force of our planet is one of our greatest resources for health and happiness. The force of the Earth can protect us from planetary influxes or overpower us to be even more open to positive influences. The power of the Earth as ruler of Capricorn will be integrated into your mastery of the stars through the influence of Saturn and its position in your natal chart. At the same time that Saturn becomes the ruler of Libra, a new understanding emerges in the functions of Capricorn's time. This is the time when humans must have confidence in their harvest, a time when they realize that their efforts for the common good are the true foundations of society. It is then that Human must balance his inner world and his outside world to establish a harmonious current that will sustain him during hard times and that will help him regain his momentum to begin a new cycle when spring arrives. »

[1] I use this term (human mass) to indicate all the elements that make us human; our soul, our mind, our body and our individuality; plus the reality that we must live with others just like us and form a true mass. Therefore Human rules over Virgo.

[2] In the birth chart, the Nadir represents our position on Earth at the time of birth and is ruled by Cancer and the Moon. Earth as master of Capricorn wants to position itself in the celestial trajectory as an active participant in the evolution of the solar system. From our relativity Earth becomes ruler of the  Midheaven and with the Moon forms a pair whose collaboration is crucial to our life.

Sun in Pisces 4 degrees quintile Jupiter in Sagittarius 21 degrees on February 23, 2019 Left / Sun 16 degrees Taurus Biquintile Jupiter in Sagittarius 23 degrees May 6, 2019 Right. The study on the right is from the series Emerge Art does Google © Lena Ghio, 2019. The top articles on Google that day were scrolled through in the background on my tablet. There was an article on the future of biodiversity in the background of the image on the right. The emergence there appears to have many faces coming out from the top of the head but also appears to be shooting up like a spring. Is it telling me how life manifests in such diverse forms? To find out more about the genesis of the image on the left check here. © Lena Ghio, 2019

A closer look at the formations manifesting under the quintile and bi-quintile to Jupiter in Sagittarius illustrates the similar features and movement by the emerging form through some type of membrane. The form on the right, a close-up of the same photo as the opening picture on top, was processed differently than the top one. I applied the Photoshop feature Poster Edge 20% to underline the features. It  appears to be shooting up from the center of the bowl like it is coming out of a body of water whereas the form on the left seems to want to pierce through a wall far left, perhaps from another dimension. © Lena Ghio, 2019

The accompanying Emerge Arts show the essential truth about the Alignment Geometries of Celestial Mechanics, they create repeating motifs. This knowledge is very ancient and is at the root of both magic and religious rituals. Because modern man was battered into ignoring our dialogue with nature, this connection and meaning is now a corrupted mess. It is still a truth we must relearn as we aim to heal our planet, ourselves and especially our children.

Alignment Geometries of Celestial Mechanics to work with 

Now Jupiter in Sagittarius is retrograde. This means Jupiter will roll over the same positions it was in as the above Emerge Arts were photographed. Hypothetically what was cultivated so far with the advancing Jupiter transit will be revised, refined and strengthened as It rolls backward then moves forward again. The aspects I focus on for this series is the quintile, 72 degrees between 2 objects; and the biquintile. 144 degrees between two objects. These aspects allow the human will to operate strongly, to have an impact on its environment. The times are given for Oka Quebec. Please check astro.com for the time in your area.

26 May 2019 at noon: Moon Pisces, Venus Taurus, Jupiter Sagittarius - will ignite the alignment of 23 February 2019. The Moon will conjunct the Sun of 23 February 2019 and Jupiter conjunct Jupiter with Venus biquintile Jupiter. This last aspect between Venus and Jupiter will be strong until 28 May 2019.

At midnight June 19 2019 the Moon in Capricorn will conjunct Saturn and both will be biquintile Venus. Action must begin at this time. Serious artistic work can be accomplished if even a quick sketch is drawn at that time. All day June 19 2019 Mercury in Cancer is biquintile Jupiter r / after 6:10 PM EDT Mercury conjunct Mars will also biquintile Jupiter. REMEMBER action must begin at midnight EDT as Moon conjunct Saturn Biquintile Venus that rules art.

  
July 13 2019 Moon conjunct Jupiter Biquintile Sun in Cancer 4:00 PM EDT There is a harsh angle with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn but we DO have harsh issues to deal with when it come to the future of our climate. Human beings come in all kinds, and clearly not all people are even motivated to take positive actions to improve climate change. Sun biquintile Jupiter all day July 14 2019-

Jupiter turns direct 11 august 2019 9:37 AM EST and will begin his forward roll activating everything you will create during the above transits. 

Remember that famous Einstein quote: " Imagination is more important than knowledge. "

Emerge Art proves that our creative actions affect nature. Our creative actions connect us with the Spirit of nature, awaken Its will to heal.

 If you investigate the background of the Art Challenge you will see how the basic art I used in the beginning is fleshing out. Please share your experiments and results in this comment section or on the attached social media pages.

Fondation Phi pour l'art contemporain presents GROWING FREEDOM by Yoko Ono

I follow Yoko Ono on Twitter. After visiting GROWING FREEDOM at Fondation Phi pour l'art contemporain and listening to the curators I felt it quite appropriate to publish this tweet by the artist. 

FRANÇAIS app de traduction à gauche

Most of us have known about Yoko Ono for most of our lives, regardless of our age. Although she has gained international fame through her relationship with Beatle John Lennon and the creative actions they have taken together to protest war, I remained oblivious to her own experience of war as a child. This exhibition revealed a profound level of the artist, of her motivation and the origins of her art. 

The curators, Gunnar B. Kvaran and Cheryl Sim, have outlined Yoko Ono's brilliant education underlining the fact that she came from a prominent family that respected her as a girl even though Japan at that time, like most of the world, was male biased. She is described has already possessing the willfulness of the artist at a young age. Although the family had travelled extensively, they were in Japan for most of WW II. They had to beg and sell their possessions for food. 

For me, this episode in her childhood is the signature of her life work. As you visit the exhibition, that is divided in three major segments, you will recognize the impact war had on her and her work.

As a child Yoko Ono studied music and was enrolled in the most prestigious schools in Japan and the United States. When Japan became involved in the Second World War, the family had just returned from a stay in the US. Since her family was wealthy they had a bunker where they could escape the bombings but no one could escape hunger as the living conditions deteriorated daily. Her suffering was augmented by the relentless human destruction and misery that surrounded her. I asked the curators to tell me what they knew about how WW II impacted her and how this is reflected in the exhibition.

Yoko Ono early life / fast facts

Gunnar B. Kvaran has written many books about Yoko Ono including Yoko Ono: Growing Freedom that accompanies the exhibition and in which Cheryl Sim is co-author. In response to my question he said:

" She saw a lot of suffering as a child. She then developed a profound compassion for the suffering of people, especially children. We see that in her lifelong motivation to end war. "

Cheryl Sim spoke of games she would play while in the bunker with her young siblings. 

" The children used to play games where they would give each other various instructions to carry out. Her conceptual art practice is about giving the public instructions like look at the sunset while feeling the Earth move or laugh for an entire week. "

Caroline Andrieux added: " The children were very hungry. They also played "Imagine" games. They would imagine eating a tuna fish sandwich while on an empty stomach. "

Those three statements account for a lifetime of work by the artist.

Approach your visit to this exhibition with a spirit of creative collaboration as you will be invited to add to the art as well as observe the impact of those that came before you. This creates its own magical atmosphere. For me art is magic. As usual  Foundation Phi has many educational and participative activities. May 25 2019 you can visit the exhibition with curator Cheryl Sim but you must reserve your place at info@fondation-phi.org or 514 849-3742. If you enjoy yoga, there are four more sessions available for Yoga for Peace Sessions by Luna Yoga. Again you must reserve your place at the previous coordinates.
The exhibition is ongoing until 15.09.2019
