  The biggest book production in the 20th century Helmut Newton's SUMO Couple of year's back I was asked by a friend who works at the airport, to do a hostess presentation of a tribute to the biggest book in the 20th century, so I did. Impressive book concept as well as exquisite design by Philippe Starck… not to mention the beautifully portrayed art by Mr. Newton Hahha… it just crossed my mind that Petite Bagatelle was married to a character named Philippe, who got his head blown away in a battle... Hahhaha Amazing… it gets more mind-blowing every minute ;) 2006-12-29...III Dreamtime In Aboriginal culture the aboriginals often refer to dreamtime as the ability to 'see with eternal vision'. If I mix that belief method with little Jung, mysticism and some other methods for dream interpretation, I would easily come up with that dreams may be precognitive at times. Even thou the greatest challenge are to interpret them correctly and put them in their appropriate timeline, nevertheless they always seem to have some hidden message to unveil for us. There roughly appears to be two sorts of people; those who like to feel as much as possible and those that prefer to be anesthetized from feeling. One kind has a great challenge to feel alive if sedated and numb, while the other type feels uncomfortable when feeling, so is there a possible communication between the two worlds? I believe so, as it is the only way to change the world of today by starting to communicate between the two worlds: the numbed and the awaked When I look around me in the world today I predominantly see lack of informational exchange between these two and what confusion and misunderstanding it creates. So I presume when these two kinds start to communicate it can produce more understanding and greater balance for all. As we seek to balance 'the two' in our outside world so shall we seek to balance them in our inside world, for only as whole inside can we act out whole in the world. We are all on a similar journey where we continuously increase our knowledge of how to conquer our selves and to be content with what we truly are. I believe all of us have reincarnated here on earth to create love in us and overflow to the worlds around us… harmony and balance equals love. So, now I presume I have answered the question I was asked in my dream ;) 2006-12-29...II  Andromeda 'to think of a man, to be mindful' In Greek mythology a wise oracle supposedly told Cassiopeia and Cepheus that to calm down the sea gods, their daughter Andromeda should be sacrificed to the sea monster… so there she was chained to a rock at the sea's edge awaiting her fate… 2006-12-28 'Window In the Skies' I just read some amusing articles in the New Scientist about cyberchondria, google-stalkning and confessions of a wikipediholic… and then I thought about all earth inhabitants out there that haven't already infused all this into their way of living in this cyber century… Wow, what strange creatures that must be who are not doing any or all of it… hahhahhahah So here comes a cyber mixture of all of it… My environment and location: dark and cosy, lots of candles, loads of coffee, song U2 'Window In the Skies'… I love my Itune alerts ;) 25th march Celebration Obviously the New Year was celebrated on 25th march until year 1622 when the Catholic Church ultimately started to celebrate on 1 January. According to tradition that was the day Mary meet Archangel Gabriel… so what's the sign? Then it also says that the 25th march is the 84th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar Numerology and hidden messages… year 1622: 16+22=38 and 84th day: 8+4=12 Hmmm… then I also found out that 25th march had a link to Tolkien's timeline and was the day to celebrate the destruction of the Ring and victory over enslavement from the dark and corruptive forces… Great victory… hahhahha And then I remembered it was one of the main books many of my punk rock friends read in the years of 1980's and in particular one of my close friends. As a stubborn Taurus he was one of those with most patience to read, reread and discuss Tolkien frequently on our bohemian café sessions in Belgrade. This reminds me of that day his indecision made us stand in the street for ages, while he stubbornly refused to enter the one and only coffee place open then, as it lacked the cake he wanted to eat I ended all our waiting and suffering just by picking up his precious Fender Stratocaster (in case of course,) and started to drag it on the street all the way into the place… he probably still talks about it. And of course he also had to become an acknowledged writer and author later on, and then I recalled all his long dialogues and preparation for his books to come; I mean, what else could he become after all… memories, memories… How can I not love all of it ;) White Fender Stratocaster turns to gold… many years later I hold one of those in my hands while in great rage… have you ever tried to smash that guitar on hard concrete floor, if so think twice before you want to try. While your whole body electrically vibrates after the hard smash on the concrete all you got is a small crack on the guitar… hmmm must be great quality. Almost embarrassing to mention I used all my force with my whole heart, and all I got was one crack So do you wonder who pissed me off? My ex-husband of course, ex as in his ex-guitar… hahhahhah Now I wonder did it maybe happen on the 'victory day' 25th of march as well… hahhahha? Light forces conquer the dark ones… hahhahah And they said: let there be light and love or did they… hahhahah  Petite Bagatelle At the age of 10-11 I was absolutely conquered by a fabulous woman super character in a wonderful French book series (which book set it is, shall not be revealed here ;). It was a remarkable life fiction story of one woman with an angel's name, who conquered a king with her beauty, started a rebellion against the same king and escaped his vengeance while leaving chaos behind her… a woman who experienced many exciting adventures in search for her one love … a woman he, the king called my Petite Bagatelle… In her early adventures with the thieves and outcasts in Paris she become caught and burned with the well-know mark of Fleur-de-lis on her body… so she never forgets ;) Fleur-de-lis [flower of the lily] Fleur-de-lis is extensively used as ornamental, emblematic, heraldic symbol as well as it represents the French royalty and as such it signifies perfection, light, and life. As a religious symbol it may represent the Holy Trinity, or be an iconographic attribute of the archangel Gabriel, notably in representations of the Annunciation. In Christianity, the Annunciation is the revelation to Mary, the mother of Jesus by the archangel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God. The Christian churches celebrate this with The Feast of Annunciation on March 25. The date of the Annunciation was also the New Year in many places, including England (where it is called Lady Day) and the American colonies. The traditional location of the Annunciation is in the town of Nazareth, Israel text source from Wiki 2006-12-21 Slava St. Nicholas, 19th December is an Orthodox Serbian tradition of celebrating the family patron saint and it happens to be the family tradition I grew up with and my family's saint. In the ritual of this tradition the custom is to have a feast and welcome everybody to the open home, priest blessings and to make a special bread cake. So, when I was a child of 5-6 years old my grandmother taught me how to make the bread cake and decorate it with various symbols such as the cross and the dove... The word slava can be interpreted as "glory" or "praise" Today Saint Nicholas is commonly identified with Santa Claus or 'Grandfather Frost' in serbian 2006-12-20 I Choose Love... 'Heartist' I definitely admire this guy for his great dedication and for contributing with one more method to inspire all of us in the world to choose love... Path of the Heartist for sure ;) Energy Centering Movements video 2006-12-13 Synergy Creates Energy "Living by comparison is fatal vision, for always there will be those who appear better off and worse off than ourselves at any given moment in time. In truth, there is no such distinction as superior and subordinate. We all have unique talents that will blossom and flourish when nurtured. In past decades, there was a more "look out for number one" and "don't bring in people who might want your job" style of leadership. You generally would hire those people who would do as they were told and who wouldn't challenge your ideas or authority. This type of thinking led to bulging bureaucracies and mediocre middle management that accomplished little. This mind-set also created a scarcity mentality that there wasn't enough to go around: so don't share ideas, don't brainstorm with others who might steal your concepts, and above all, don't help your coworkers or employees succeed. We have seen that this approach clearly will not work in the global marketplace of the knowledge age. Today the challenge is to establish networks, strategic alliances, synergistic relationships, and ad hoc teams to solve problems and help everyone accomplish their goals. You now look for those people who are not satisfied with the status quo, who are striving for excellence and have talents and abilities that you don't." text written by Denis Waitley 2006-12-03 I was reading about the Egyptian calendar and it appears their lunar calendar which was used to regulate their temple and religious life consisted of 25 year and that the Egyptian day started at dawn, or sunrise. They also calculated their seasonal year by the stars and used the heliacal rise of the star Sirius as their 'calendar method'. And then I just bumped into the Stonehenge Merlin story and these words caught my attention: He "Not by force, but by art, brought and erected the giant's ring from Ireland" article And then I thought about how mankind is now transitioning from the material age (Kali Yuga or Iron Age) to the electrical age (Dwapara Yuga). following text retrieved from wiki: Kali Yuga: In the lowest phase, Kali Yuga, most people are aware only of the physical aspect of existence, the predominant emphasis of living is material survival, and power is mostly in the hands of men. People's relationship with the spiritual is governed predominantly by superstition and by authority. Dwapara Yuga: In Dwapara Yuga, science flourishes, people experience the spiritual in terms of subtle energies and rational choices, inventions are abundant, particularly those that dissolve the illusion of distance (between people and between things), and power is mostly in the hands of women 2006-12-01 Torino The name of Turin comes from Tau, a Celtic word that means mountains Turin is the birth place of solid chocolate. Turin chocolate firms produce a typical chocolate, called Gianduiotto , named after Gianduja, a local Commedia dell'arte mask... Text source wiki 2006-11-25 My main exploration in this reincarnation is to discover mind; My Mind. So according to some of my beliefs, convictions and visions I am transforming my self to be and vibrate throughout all the methods I have chosen As I consider my self to be a living experiment, it inspires me to experience how much of me is devoted to my path and what lessons I have learned or missed to learn and why. In accordance with some of my concepts I therefore speak to the Future Me, here in cyber space while at the same time giving myself confirmations that all times do and can exit simultaneously in our mind. I presume my main intention will be much more evident in a 'near future', but nevertheless even thou I am impatient to see how all unfolds in the 'now' I still may consider the possibility that a whole life may be required. The main challenge is to go and sustain within my own flow, and counter to the social, cultural, inherited and habitual patterns I am supposed to follow. I know that everything can be transformed from one form to another, with the distinction that it may simply require more time to manifest; as all have to be created all over again. I am saying that just because I was born into 'one person', with all what that concept may indicate it doesn't necessarily fit my own agenda. Therefore I can choose to reconstruct whole 'me' by creating other decisions that are more fitting with my own evolution of consciousness and more in tune with the cosmic me. I believe all paths in 'my life' are equally true as long as I follow my inner flow, intuition from above as well as listen to my heart; Trinity There is no right or wrong, only lessons to discover that may transform one self throughout all the forms we choose to experience. I think many humans today believe that their inner self are hidden for others to see them as they are, but I believe that to be impossible because we are all connected souls in one way or the other. Many humans may have concealed their own soul from themselves while believing it is out of sight for others as well, it is not. The soul is always within reach and for those that truly strive toward it; they will eventually connect to it one way or the other... All of us have our own mission, purpose or dream and ultimately if we keep the faith we will conquer. As will I A book to recommend: High Priests, Quantum Genes by Michael Hayes (intro by Colin Wilson) ... some extracts from the book: Complete Way of Being "... These religions were founded... on the principles of musical symmetry, a symmetry that is so clearly evident in our DNA - literally in our bones." The musical symmetry dictating the evolution of the human gene pool was not only identified by ancient peoples, it was actively employed in their daily lives as a complete way of being, a 'religion'. The musical symmetry is precisely what the formula pi was designed to express: that is, the law of the seven [7] and the law of the three [3] - the triple octave [8-8-8], composed of twenty-two [22] notes. Michael Hayes Somewhat 'early' Christmas gift to someone maybe: I presume this book as well as his first The Infinite Harmony, both are significantly inspirational to all musical lovers out there, as well as all other entities ... 2006-11-19 19th November is celebrated as Ladies Day The Indian guru and Avatar, Shri Sathya Sai Baba created a special holy day called Lady's Day, whose specific intention is to honor the sacredness of women. I like the thought to honor other women as well as the part in me that are woman... 2006-11-16 The Triple Tau, The Key It has been said that three Taus come together to form the Triple Tau. It is said to mean Clavis ad Thesaurum 'A Key to The Treasure' and Theca ubi res pretiosa 'A place where the precious thing is concealed' Now I ask, what may a 'quadruple of Taus' create when united? I wonder... if God created the world in seven days, maybe we create cosmic magic in 8 days... How many quadruples is that? It sounds like 2 x 4... as above so below, as below so above ;) Now it only remains to find out exactly, what day to begin to interpret the cosmic guidebook and set off manifesting...  2006-11-14 Vulcan Roman god of fire Vulcanization, or curing of rubber, is a chemical process in which individual *polymer molecules are linked to other *polymer molecules by atomic bridges... *polys meaning many, and meros meaning parts Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer, which occurs as a milky colloidal suspension (known as latex) in the sap of several varieties of plants. Rubber can also be produced synthetically. Latex, as found in nature, is the milky sap of many plants that coagulates on exposure to air. It is a complex emulsion in which proteins, alkaloids, starches, sugars, oils, tannins, resins and gums are found Synthetic rubber serves as a substitute for natural rubber in many cases, especially when improved material properties are needed. text source Wiki Natural Rubber Rubber Tapping Maybe 'we' should return to 'mother nature' and make one complete and true choice at last, instead of countless partial 'plastic' parts we use as substitutes... You know become truly 'reborn' from within as well, so all parts of us finally bonds with the true cosmic powers of the universe and remind us again what we have forgotten: that we are ONE ;) Visualize before your mind a Rubber tapping ceremony; You scent the magical incense burn while you listen to the beating of the drums... the fire and the jingle are all announcing the beginning of the tapping of the tree... Bang, bang, bang... Catapults you 'back' to your origin, your nature and where you belong ;) 2006-11-10 Contact by Carl Sagan Following my intuition I watched one of my favourite movies all over again ... the movie Contact written by Carl Sagan, and was greatly surprised that he was born the 9th November... the same 'day' I had the hunch to see the movie again... my inner intuition says that's a sign of magic... Cosmic magic ;) Regardless of how you twist every bit from all dimensions both as 'Vegan', 'Earthling' or 'Venusian' it all comes down to Faith ... ;) Perhaps you should see it... maybe it will become magic for you as well and continue to be, as it is for me ... 'My miniature fantasy book' The Window Concept fits perfect... The question is do you believe...

Bahman is the name of 11th month in the Iranian calendar 2006-11-08 The Golden Bough ... A Study in Magic and Religion by Sir J.G.Frazer and also the following ... "The Celtic Druids were skilled in herbal medicine and magic; mistletoe was by far the most sacred of their magical plants. It grew amongst the branches of the sacred trees, seemingly without sustenance. Having no roots, it was considered the sacred plant of the sun... A tree that hosted a mistletoe plant was a tree marked as particularly sacred by the gods. Gold in color, and growing high off the ground without roots, it was naturally associated with the sun... The most powerful mistletoe, of course, grew on the sacred oak... with its fruit the acorn ... Mistletoe has sometimes been nicknamed the "vampire plant" because it can probe beneath the tree bark to drain water and minerals, enabling it to survive during a drought... The most recognizable symbol of Druidry is the world tree, with branches and roots entwined... The world tree, represents man- the branches symbolize the cosmos, the roots the underworld, the tree their union in mankind... The name Druid is believed to be a compound of two words:

 2006-11-01 "All Hallows day (November 1st) has been considered for centuries as one of the most magical nights of the year. A night of power, when the veil that separates our world from the Otherworld is at its thinnest. ... true origin of Halloween is a ceremony of honoring our ancestors and the day of the dead. A time when the veils between the worlds were thinner, and so many could "see" the other side of life. A time in the year when the spiritual and material worlds touched for a moment, and a greater potential exists for magical creation. In ancient times, this day was a special and honored day of the year. In the Celtic calendar, it was one of the most important days of the year, representing a mid point in the year, Samhain... And while celebrated by the Celts, the origin of this day has connections to other cultures as well, such as Egypt... The Celts believed that the normal laws of space and time were held in abeyance during this time, allowing a special window... Out of this ancient tradition comes one of our most famous icons of the holiday: the Jack-o-lantern. Originating from Irish folklore, the Jack-o-lantern was used as a light for the lost soul of Jack, a notorious trickster, stuck between worlds. Jack is said to have tricked the devil into a truck of a tree and by carving an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, he trapped the devil there. His pranks denied him access to Heaven, and having angered the devil also to Hell, so Jack was a lost soul, trapped between worlds. As a consolation, the devil gave him a sole ember to light his way through the darkness between worlds." Samhain is the word for November in the Irish language and the Scottish Gaelic spelling is An t-Samhain
