OHNE TITEL (Them Listless Folk from Apocryphal)
Laith McGregor

In what will be McGregor’s largest exhibition to date, Ohne Titel (Them Listless folk from Apocryphal), will showcase his diverse practice including video works, sculpture, paintings and drawings. The body of work sits within a poetic sphere- with ghosts and lost souls wandering through the works- McGregor is exploring an in-between state, a place that does not exist, a grey area of the unknown. McGregor’s distinctive style, blends aspects of photorealism with memory, literature, art history, popular culture and the imagination.

Living your life with symbolism

admin — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:05:34 +0000

I am sure I am not the only person in the world that does this. Over the years I have made certain things mean things. For example if I see a certain number a certain amount of time I am closer in alignment with my purpose. It’s a very fun and personal way to live. It helps the universe help you. There are many books on symbolism you can use as a reference to get you started however it’s best you attach your own meaning to whatever it is (as long as it serves you) and be consistent with ti for as long as it serves you. It also will inspire your creativity in ways you would never imagined it to. Julie Stewart

Forgiveness – Helen Wells

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:50:59 +0000

Todays SAC of the pic of the day is “Forgivess” by Helen Wells.
I think in general people (women in particular) are too ready to forgive rather than allow forgiveness to rise from within. I don’t see it as particularly healthy to forgive someone who has abused you and will continue to abuse you. Sending them love is flimpsy. I think the best approach is to stand your ground and find an approach to a situation which is real for you and supports your whole being. This could mean never speaking to that person again or it could mean just placing them in another box which can not get to you.

Raihnon – Artist working with energies

admin — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:12:59 +0000

Raihnon is an enlightened being from the Andromeda Galaxy and is a member of the Andromeda Council of 21. Lord Raihnon has incarnated as a human being three times. This completed his journey of experiencing and knowing human fear and love and how fear can corrupt the human mind. In turn making choices that create pain and suffering. He now returns to us as our Teacher with his innate knowledge of how we think and feel, enabling him to educate us with compassion and humour.
He teaches that when we make choices motivated by fear we not only hurt ourselves but everyone and everything in our lives. That we seek power and control over others because we are afraid of being out of control. That if our minds were filled with love we would not desire this in life. The inability to see our own individual beauty motivates our insecurity and creates jealousy, envy and judgment of others. Ultimately he confronts us with the truth that we all seek, the joy and fulfilment that love brings and yet we withhold it because we are afraid of the pain of loss and rejection.
The methods by which he teaches us are taught in a format and language that is simple enough for anyone to comprehend thereby not limiting the knowledge to a select few.
Many of his students out of love and respect have entitled him Lord Raihnon and although he allows this human label he humbly reminds us that he is simply Raihnon and it is the message that is important, not his name.

Message from Raihnonâ

I Am Teacher of the Teacher’s and my purpose is to re-educate all who wish to know love. All human beings are teachers as much as they are students of life. I am here for all regardless of their culture or race. I respect the free will of all people. I have incarnated in the body three times in your Earth’s history. I will not do so again. I come to you this time through my chosen Oracle Renasii and no other human, though many of my students have taught you well the “Great Knowledge”. The name I choose to be known by this time is not relevant though many will deem it so and I will be named many names before this aspect of my journey is complete. I have learnt of your dilemmas regarding my identity some are fearful, some with love. It matters not to I for I love you in spite of yourselves. It is the Teaching that is important, not the methods used to bring it to you – that is the first lesson Dear People.

As you are entities of free will and create your own destiny it is our desire to educate you. To free your conscious minds from the fear and the conditioning that generations of your time have instilled, hindering the growth of humanity. To re-establish the balance of all, to reunite humanity with itself. To awaken humanity to the knowing of God.

I want you to remember that the most powerful energy in existence is Love. When you remember this is your living force within then everything is possible. Each one of you are beautiful, intelligent creative beings and it is time for you to awaken and know this. To know the joy of life and the freedom to love beyond fear.

Art Therapy

admin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:19:37 +0000

Phoenix is an environment where you can learn through first hand experience the importance of finding humanistic understandings and ways of being that allow us to live in supportive relationships, affirming communities and in harmony with our natural environment.
With a special focus on the transpersonal model – a holistic model based on self awareness, creativity and authenticity, we offer you vocational education in specialist psycho-spiritual modalities, primarily through the Bachelor of Holistic Counselling and the two Diploma courses of Transpersonal Counselling and Transpersonal Art Therapy.

A Transpersonal and Holistic Approach

The Transpersonal approach deals with all of the common human problems that professional counsellors and psychologists encounter. The goal of healing is not to adjust to the prevailing society, but to assist clients, through greater self-awareness by accessing their own human potentials. The course is holistic in that we study the whole person, not just symptom identification and treatment. Instead, students explore with the client their pathway toward healing and transformation in a humanistic and meaningful way.
