love-swans 10 Transformational and Spiritual Aphorisms Throughout the ages, there have been many who have transcended the domain of the ego and had gotten a taste of those delicious higher states of consciousness. Rather than keep their experiential knowledge and wisdom about the higher aspects of existence to themselves, they spread the word to others, be it through spoken word, written works, or other methods. Thanks to the sages, spiritual teachers, and every-day people who had an enlightening experience, we can ignite the light of expanded awareness concerning the higher aspects of the human experience and of existence itself from such people. Aphorism 1 A human being is a part of a whole, called by us a universe, a part limited in time and space. -Albert Einstein Aphorism 2 “Life is what you make it,” this is very true. -Unknown Aphorism 3 We may liken truth to a mountain, and the various interpretations of that truth to different paths leading up to the summit. -Max Heindel, The Rosicrucian Fellowship Aphorism 4 -Gautama Buddha Aphorism 5

Möbius Ship: An Un-Ending Sculptural Tribute With a title and form that wittily plays on the puzzling and unending surface of a Möbius strip, artist Tim Hawkinson has created a bizarrely continuous model in the likeness of ship-in-bottle hobbyists. His hanging sculpture takes it’s inspiration from the story of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, interpreting Captain Ahab’s consuming passion of chasing the illusive white whale by creating a ship that chases itself in an impossible loop. Hawkinson has made a name for himself by taking everyday materials and using them in unusual ways, creating works that address larger issues of history, human consciousness, nature and technology. For this intricate piece he used a host of found objects and household materials, from staples and twist ties to craft wood and packing material. The result transforms the mundane nature of the mediums, creating a captivating and awe inspiring sculpture far greater than its material roots. Via: imamuseum.org
