The
perception of Beauty is nutrition for the Soul
The creation of Beauty is exercise
for the Soul
The living of Beauty is fulfillment for the
the Soul
The source of Beauty is the Beloved of the Soul
Ah
Yum Hunab Ku - Eva Maya Eh Ma Ho
A Mayan phrase that means loosely ~
"Oh Beloved Mother Father of All, Source of the Harmony of Mind and Nature -
Isn't Everything
So Beautiful ! "
'Time is Art' is the catch phrase of the Dreamspell movement that seeks to prepare human consciousness for a quantum leap as the Mayan calendar ends in 2012.
To quote from www.lawoftime.org "The Law of Time affirms that the quality of beauty in nature is supreme; it is a scientific and mathematical function of fourth-dimensional time.
All art codes are within us."
At this time, when the whole world hangs in the balance,
what greater creativity can there be than to help create a sustainable and compassionate world from the ruins of the nightmare that we call our human history?

All the Beauty that I have ever seen
is here within me, as it has always been.
The capacity to perceive Beauty is a measure of emotional and spiritual intelligence. Beauty is one of the Creator's favorite attributes, and the whole of Creation
is imbued with its power. It is a mark of how lost modern society is
that it is commonly believed that Art need not be Beautiful.
That it is enough that it be interesting, shocking, intriguing, complex,
or expressing emotion, thought provoking, or effecting the senses in
some unexpected way. Real Art draws its power from the Source of all Creativity and provides a portal
for communication with that Source. True Art is participation in the conscious evolution of humanity.
Not so long ago the terms Art, Magic,
and The Great Work, were practically synonymous. Now as we approach
the zeropoint of 2012 we must relearn Arts proper function - it is only the visions of Beauty that can lead us on to a harmonious awakening from the
fever dreams of fear, separation, and greed, that still torment the
world.
One
of the primary messages of the Bird Tribes is about Art and its appropriate use in this time of global transformation. Art can reflect the soul's brightest visions into temporal form. By
crystallising the finest flames of awareness into patterns of sound, colour, or movement,a jewel may be made of such Beauty that it illuminates
the path of conscious evolution for all who gaze into its depths. Then it will be healing for the Artist and uplifting for those who contemplate it.
The circumstances on Gaia are such
that it is an urgent necessity that there be a new dedication of Art to the process of personal and planetary healing.
Artists (and this includes true scientists and creative thinkers of all kinds)
will lead the way in finding a path towards greater harmony, as they
have done many times before. It is their responsibility to assist the
evolution of humanity by climbing to the mountain top and bringing back
visions of a sustainable future and the path that leads towards
it.
"What is good in humanity will have to fight for its life, if it is to have a future at all. Every form of creative will and intelligence must be called forth from the sleeping soul of humanity, because there is no escape and no going back."- Diane Harvey, essayist and painter

The Bird Tribes teachings have been disseminated through all cultures of the Earth, however the Native American understanding of Beauty is quite remarkable, and we thank them for preserving into these times
the teachings of the Beauty Way.
To
think only Beautiful thoughts, to perform only Beautiful deeds, to speak only Beautiful words ~ this is the path of the Angels that keeps them always consciously
in the presence of the Creator!
To
walk the Beauty Path is
to learn to relate to the Beauty within everything, even when the Beauty is veiled from our senses, even when the Beauty is hidden from our minds eye. When we have cultivated the Beauty of our own hearts, and come to know Beauty's secret ways, then we may know that she is truly present everywhere.
There is a stream
of Beauty that does flow
Through all the
many coloured lands of earth
At any moment where
ever One is
Or what the situation
that may seem
This stream is there
to quench One's deepest thirst
To bathe and to
renew One's spirit in
To stand within
the blessed waterfalls
One need but focus
One's attention on
The Beauty in whatever
form it takes
As light or sound,
as touch or taste or scent
Or as a pattern
seen within the mind
An idea, fantasy
or memory.
The longer One abides
within this stream
The stronger Love
becomes within One's heart
And clearer it becomes,
beyond what seems
This Beauty is the core of what we are.
Look up or look
within or to the depths
And you will see
the self same river flows
And if you rest
and let it carry you
You'll find that
all anxieties and fears
Dissolve like dreams
into the morning light.
In case you have not met them yet we would like to introduce you
to some of our favourite artists...
We would like to thank one of our favourite artists Andrew Gonzalez for permission to use his work in our cover collage for our Cd Rom. You can see more of his work at his website www.sublimatrix.com
"I would come to view my drawings ... as mystical love poems to the soul. I would often relate to the female figures of my artwork as dakini messengers or as an anima mediatrix to the dimensions within, the projected mirror of the soul. For me, drawing and painting became soul-crafting." A Gonzalez
"Unless the eye catch fire
the God will not be seen.
Unless the tongue catch fire
the God will not be named.
Unless the heart catch fire,
the God will not be loved.
Unless the mind catch fire,
the God will not be known."
William Blake
The beauty of Maxfield Parrish's use of light nearly a century ago has rarely been equaled.
This is a photograph! Environmental campaigner Gregory Colbert has produced some of the most sublime images of people and nature ever seen. He has a beautifully presented flash site called Ashes&Snow.org
If you have not yet discovered the works of Alex Grey
you have missed one of the most interesting artists of the last century.
See more of his work on his website www.AlexGrey.com
"Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste,
it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple
and take alms of those who work with joy." Kahlil Gibran
Artist Nicholas Roerich traveled in through Tibet nearly a century ago. Later he set up the Agni Yoga in the USA and created the Roerich Peace Pact and Flag that asked countries to not target cultural treasures in times of war.
