Aurora aurora aurora......

Can anyone tell me why this would make me want to cry?
spaceweather

Shifts in our magnetic field....
almost seeing,remembering something...too quick glimpses of memory....flickering in my deep mind...
something so...indescribable...like whispers calling me...
and my chest aches so

Oh ...

With your art, the higher perspective seems to be where your experience of beauty resides. Would you share what helped create that experience? Is there a fundational memory? I can remember my first experiences of being in a plane. I still can't get over the magic of flying, being above it all and seeing things functioning cleanly, wondering about the order of which we are all a part, how people see their lives from one perspective and that there is another from which to view things. It makes me believe that we are as much a part of pattern, a pattern of life, as ants and other organisms are. This pattern is a big mystery to me ... what is the larger mind?

I was recently watching a special on National Geographic about life by a water hole in Africa. There were crocodiles, lions, gazelles, elephants ... just about every conceivable creature there. They were all drinking together. Every once in a while, a croc would grab a gazelle, pull it in, kill it, and eat it. Everyone would freak out for a bit, then things would go back to normal.

There were no cops, no attempts to control the violence, no people getting therapy to recover. It was just the process of life. Completely pure. As I watched I began to see a kind of pattern, the circle of life, like a glowing set of interweaving circles within a plane of pulsating white light. I saw what was happening as life itself and it occurred to me that the experience of all that, the drinking, the hunger, the thirst, the killing, the companionship, the sex, all of it ... on a certain level was the experience of bliss and higher intelligence. Just like the experience of our cells (in which all this stuff is happening willy nilly) is US. Is intelligence, emotions, etc.

hmmmm I really don't know if there was one memory that triggered it...course as a young girl I used to tell the aliens it was A.O.K to come pick me up when they came around...that I'd like to talk. And well, picturing them looking down might've started something...;)
But through the years it always fascinated me and baffled me. Couldn't really understand how everyone seemed to be fine with the fact that we were all living our lives on a teeny portion of a spinning marble in the midst of endless space and infinite numbers of other marbles and fireballs and such. It just never felt um, like something you could forget.
Then, well, there are the dreams. Way too much to go into in notes...but so many amazing vision dreams that propel me further into examining and thinking about our place in the larger scheme of things...and evolution and existence..
There's a book that I would be struggling to write if it didn't exist, called 'The Global Brain Awakens' by Peter Russell that puts it all pretty much into the perspective I've come to really feel...as a glimpse, a scale-jump.
