Art immersion

As we create and explore great artists and visionaries, we apply their practices to our lives. We will study famous artists, scientists, philosophers, musicians and writers. We will look at their relevance and the great legacy of the arts to humanity. 

 

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. 

ALBERT EINSTEIN

THE  impressionits 

Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities.

Impressionism has freed painting from the importance of the subject. I am at liberty to paint flowers, without their needing to tell a story.

FLOW  states 

We all experience flow states — that sense of an expanse between your body and mind. When you are absorbed by something, beyond the point of distraction. Time feels like it has slowed down. Your senses are heightened. You are at one with your task, immersed in creation. Some people describe this feeling as being “in the zone.”

Control of consciousness determines the quality of life.

APPLY EINSTEIN'S RULES TO YOUR LIFE

START A BULLET JOURNAL, 33 DAYS CREATES A HABIT

EINSTEIN'S 3  rules 

Out of clutter, simplicity. That's it. Get rid of what you no longer need or pretend to need. Remember there are many types of clutter. Physical clutter may be easier to see. Why do we hold onto relics of the past? 

From discord, find harmony. This is the mantra for all relationships. How do you think in terms of harmony? This is not, "is everybody happy," superficial stuff. It's about staying fully engaged. Present.

In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity. Often, when things are not flowing easily, the natural tendency is to give up. Stay the course! It's through our failed attempts that new and even more creative ideas emerge.

Love, love, love, that is the soul of  genius.

HARMONY OF THE  spheres

Harmony of the Spheres or the musica universalis (Universal music), is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies – the SunMoon, and planets – as a form of music. This "music" is not audible, It is harmonic or mathematical. It is a spiritual resonance. The idea of a symphony of the heavens continued to appeal to scholars until the end of the Renaissance.

God is the brightest of lights which can never be extinguished, and the choirs of angels radiate light from the divinity.

ST HILDEGARD of BINGEN 

LET MUSIC DROP YOU INTO A FLOW STATE 

Experiment with classical, blues, rock, pop, Indie, jazz ... find harmony.

Do you know that our  soul Dis composed of harmony?

Plato is considered one of the most influential people in human history. He founded Western Philosophy with his teacher, Socrates and his student, Aristotle.

The message of the great thinkers is the same, for they are tapping into the same revelation and inspiration - the Universe!

The greatest wealth is to live content

with little. PLATO

WHAT IS HARMONY? DO YOU HAVE BALANCE? JOURNAL.

Seek revelation of the mind. Seek inspiration of the heart. 

harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order.
