The View from Delphi Rhapsodies on Hellenic Wisdom & An Ecstatic Appreciation of Western History by Frank Marrero, Enelysios ________________________________________________________________________ Performance art and dance. For me visual and performing arts always got exciting when it had the power to take me out of my normal frame of mind.

performance art and dance

This is always the art I wanted to create, and the art I wanted to encounter. Before I knew of Adi Da Samraj -who is my chosen spiritual teacher since 2001- I created visual arts that were clearly about him and his work -as I discovered after I met him and began to study his teaching. For instance at the University in Kassel in Germany during a course in Fine Art, I designed a machine which basically described conditional existence as patterns patterning and the transcending of these patterns was visualised by a circle of sections of fabric turning round and round and finally speeding up, so the patterns became meaningless and unrecognizable and outshined, by all the colours turning white, symbolising being outshined in brightness.

Of his 2005 project in Newcastle and Gateshead, Tunick says, “Despite the fact that we got a lot of people there, it was hard to convince people to take a leap of faith because the body is so sexualised there.”

Tunick has not been put off by British reserve, however, and is this month coming to Folkestone in Kent as part of the Museums At Night festival, where he plans to line up 125 individuals and spend about two minutes on a nude portrait of each. These days, Tunick’s partnerships with international museums and galleries ensure he has volunteers ready and waiting. Since then, the numbers have increased.

He isn’t homeless. In fact, he is an artist from Oakland that is trying to help the homeless and develop his craft at the same time. Instead of building sculptures that he would sell to rich people to add to their massive homes, he decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in California. Gregory digs through illegally dumped trash and goes dumpster diving. He uses what he collects to build small, one room shelters for the homeless. And his homelessness project is getting attention. Planetary Hospice I. Planetary Hospice, part 1 of 2 This brilliant and beautifully researched paper by Zhiwa Woodbury frames our work in a way that can release fresh understandings and energy.- Joanna Macy IntroductionThere have been five great extinctions in the history of planet Earth during the 540 million years since complex life emerged.

Planetary Hospice I

According to the National Geographic Society, “we are in the midst of the Sixth Great Extinction, an event characterized by the loss of between 17,000 and 100,000 species each year” The worst of the five extinctions, often referred to as the Great Dying, resulted in the loss of 95% of all marine species and 70% of all terrestrial species.The severity of the Great Dying, which required ten million years to recover from, is largely attributed to mass releases of methane from the oceans and tundras triggered by (and quickly doubling) a spike in global temperatures of only about six degrees (from volcanic activity). Unfortunately, the news only gets worse.

CE List: Movies With Truth or Consciousness

Pretty well all of us have seen a number of films and TV shows that have made us either laugh, cry, cheer or even at times leave us contemplating why it was ever made. An element that is not that common in film is to find bits of truth or consciousness, and that’s why we at Collective Evolution have put together a list of some of the films we could think of that could offer you a bit more than simple entertainment.

We have also listed a bit (not all) of the truth/ consciousness to look out for when watching the film. Peaceful Warrior. How 37 Banks Became 4 In Just 2 Decades, All In One Astonishing Chart.

Spring of Sustainability. Spring of Sustainability. The 60 Most Powerful Photos Ever Taken That Perfectly Capture The Human Experience. Oud / Oudh Oil - Exotic Fragrances of the East. A marriage between Eastern and Western perfumery, Intiqa'ie -- Arabic for 'eclectic' -- is a fusion of the western Chypre and Fougère genres with an utterly traditional Arabian attar core.

To emphasize the bright and fresh Fougère aspects, two crisp and zesty Borneo oud oils form the heart of this attar. A heavy dose of oakmoss keeps the Chypre character alive, and there's plenty of labdanum which not only reinforces the leather note but also flows it seamlessly into the more Arabian elements. Sizzling frankincense, rich spices and ambery tones form an enchanting bed on top of which lies the leathery and mossy Chypre structure. Crowning it are the unmistakable Fougère elements - absinth, rose, galbanum and citrus, among other ingredients. Like our previous products Mukhallat Al-Naqi and Tropica, Intiqa'ie is also totally unique and something new under the sun.

Volkswagen's New 300 MPG Car Is Not Allowed In America Because It's Too Efficient. You won’t find the 300 MPG Volkswagen XL1 in an American showroom, in fact it has even been denied a tour of America because it is too efficient for the American public to be made widely aware of, and oil profits are too high in America with the status quo in place. No tour has been allowed for this car because the myth that 50 mpg is virtually impossible to obtain from even a stripped down econobox is too profitable to let go of, and when it comes to corporate oil profits, ignorance is bliss.

Years ago I had calculated that it should be possible to get a small car to exceed 100 mpg by putting parallel direct to cylinder water injectors side by side with the fuel injectors, and using the exhaust manifold to preheat the water so it would enter the cylinders as dry steam, thus providing added expansion (which drives the engine) while allowing the combustion process to proceed without reducing it’s efficiency.
