When you look straight into the heart of darkness, it lifts its head and looks straight into you. It doesn’t like to be seen and when the light is cast upon it, it rebels and in its arsenal there is only deceit - manipulations to convince you that in fact, its premise of inevitable doom is only “reasonable” - and if you are not careful, it will draw you out from your path, derail you and seed you with doubt, till you are no longer able to see clearly. Doubt always stops you dead in your tracks. Now, whatever destiny was before you hangs in the balance, waiting for your next move. Why? When you were so clearly on your way? The darkness likes to operate from the shadows, cloaked in robes of righteousness - a false light, to distract from its true nature as a downward spiral, a black hole that depletes vital life force energy, dreams, aspirations, will power - fire. In my work thus far, the most dangerous of individuals are those who use “reason”, intellectualised pessimism, to legitimise all possible negative outcomes which they believe are stacked against you. They call it care, love, “reality” or due diligence - when it is in fact their own fears which they are projecting onto you. They think: how dare s/he try, when we feel we cannot? The universe is mind. Nothing can be said for certain until it is done - delving into what ifs are just that - what ifs. And if you are aware that you yourself sow the seeds of your own rise and your own demise, you become quite meticulous in donning the exact perspective which enables flow, movement, energy, potential - vs no flow, impotence, a non starter. What these types see as “reality” is simply their own distorted lens, having internalised much darkness, and being unable to lift themselves, busy themselves with taking down their supposed allies. Beware of the voices you allow in your circle. Those who actively spit on the very outcome they say they are fighting for, are not your allies. We are the architects of what is “true”, weaving it collectively into being, fanning the fire till it erupts into a roaring blaze. The idea is the self fulfilling prophecy. Every world, once but a vision. Stay true.

The lines that separate the child from the adult are blurring. Any creator that has ever created knows this of course - we have many names for the tapping into, channeling and materialising of the subtle energies that revitalise, energise, illuminate - inspiration, flow state, theta brain waves, chi, prana, the bioelectric body, nerve synapses shooting off electrified chemical clouds of information we call neurotransmitters - call it what you want, its called living, its called being what we are - the process of remembering and being limitless creators in a limitless universe. Oh yes sorry, in some circles, its also called magic. Those are the circles where people still know that anything can be, they are attuned with the subtle energies and to the subtle management of the cosmic forces that whirl all around us and shift with every minute shift in the intricate system of interlocking and interconnected cycles that make up this entire universe. A wave takes many shapes as it continues along its journey of being a wave. It be like that. It likes to play. As children, we don’t make a big deal about it - we are sponges, our minds are open and flexible. We don’t tell ourselves that inventing this or that is impossible - the world of hardened adults tell us that. But adults are simply tall children, turned heavy and acidic from all of that creative potential energy blocked and constrained from being released from the many outlets of release that the miracle of pure bio-engineering mastery that our bodies and subtle senses are. Perhaps if the “serious adults” put in charge of managing the very sophisticated and intricate bioengineering mechanism that our ecosystem is were a little less arrogant and anally retentive, perhaps all the wonders that countless illumined souls have spelled out for us would be common knowledge and integrated into the design of our systems and cities. The words “free limitless energy” are no longer termed conspiracy - the cats out the bag. Google pls. Moral: freedom, truth, play = space where true genius occurs aka “magic” Any philosophy that suppresses this suppresses your mind. Who put those boring guys in charge anyway? 🌟

The last leg of the journey of the past 5 months through Bulgaria, Turkey, Japan, Thailand and Cambodia, finally led me to India for the Maha Kumbh that occurs once every 144 years. It was magical, chaotic, mesmerising and exasperating all at once, as was expected (India 🤣❤️) It is the defining trait of high energy spots - ALL congregate around Great Big Fires, pulled by inexplicable magnetism - the ones that lift you up, and the ones that divert your way to suck you dry. All is infinite in its expression, unlimited in its oscillations between polarities. India is for those who want to learn discernment by being punched in the face with it 🤣 Are you before a helpful guide or someone seeking to impose influence and control? Hilariously, it’s always both, in a way - life is 10% what happens and 90% how we take what happens. If you gain and are clear enough in your power - then whatever! Even the charlatan has lots to teach you✌🏻 But what I really wanted to talk about are power spots along the Earth’s natural energetic grid. I knew nothing about them few years ago, however was pulled to one after another, stumbling upon them in seeming haphazard chaotic fashion, wondering whether I was simply disorganised, a mess - or whether I was finally coming face to face with my ADHD 🤣 Turns out it was in fact, none of those things😆 When we heed the call that rises from within like a bolt of lightning and take the decisive action to MOVE, it can appear from the fixed and limited perspective of a society obsessed with its limiting norms separating the “good” and the “bad”- notions which fluctuate perpetually along time and space - as being chaotic, not effective, unproductive. How silly that is, when we are the most “productive” when embodying a state of flow. Flow state is not limited to your art project. It is life itself - and in any case, isn’t your very life the most riveting art project? Flow state is vortex mechanics applied to life philosophy/state of being. By following the vital force scent with my true inner sense, I was brought to portals, gateways between dimensional realms that to the untrained 👁️ look like just a pile of rocks. Cont 👇🏼

What does “escaping the #matrix” REALLY mean? The fact that this is now the talk of the town is a feat of gargantuan proportions - universes away from even a mere decade ago where public discussions on the practical day to day application of metaphysical theory was laughed off as crazed delusion. We’ve come a LONG way. However. I ask this question because beneath the flood of spiritual energy that the world is currently re-learning to swim in, within the energetic circuitry of distribution, infused and intermingled in the channels that materialise this new found world view and life philosophy into concrete, practical and tangible aspects of the reality we live in, there exists a lot of deeply ingrained distortion. The mind field is rife with mines such that its inhabitants can be mined for their energy. Attention is the ultimate currency - after all, where attention goes, energy flows. And right now our attention is monitored through engagement metrics and monetised as brand value - much of which is publicly traded on the stock market. I mean duh, the very infrastructures of the society we live in uphold its tenets, which many have come to look to with the fervent adoration of the upholders of religious dogma. Loving life never hurt nobody, but extremism does. My point is: what does “success” look like to you? Because that’s the ultimate goal in life right? To be successful with your life, how you live it - how you enjoy it, or for many still - how you survive it. A lot of #manifestation and spiritual “guides” point the brave heroes who wander out of the system straight back into it, by still upholding the tenets of the very system they tried to escape: namely associations of success tied to money and fame, to how well you play the rat race. Can we really escape a system if we still measure ourselves, our worth and our very freedoms by the measurements and benchmarks upheld by that system? A system is maintained by its tenets as much as an engine runs on fuel. Remember what #freedom truly means. Not anarchy. Not extremism. Pure and peaceful freedom. A mind-spirit-energy-body that lives its pure free will truth. *Continued in the comments 👇🏼

You cannot travel with 10 locations in your gps- your google maps will glitch!!! Shift confusedly between all of them - why would you do that when the answer to what you want and know to be deep in your heart is OF COURSE the highest most wonderful outcome? Why would you allow yourself to entertain or engage with and hence envision ANYTHING else? For yourself? For others? Tame that straying mind! The realms of the what ifs are just that! Illusions; projections. None of those have landed - they lie in the rippling future together with all the what ifs of all perspectives imaginable. Why would you entertain probable outcomes which cross you, deny your way and in whatever way punish you, condemn you, deplete you? Are you sadistic? Suicidal? The question is not of what if - the question is simple: what do you WANT to happen? Plant yourself there and grow strong roots. THAT is what grounding really means. Because that is what your what if is entertaining. If it is an outcome negative to yourself, you are expressing it as a command in this holographic universe, whispering it into the infinite translucent pool of unmanifest potential. Do you bless or do you curse with your command? Do you wish beauty and joy upon the other or death and despair? It is really your mind you must tame. How many times have the world’s experts forecasted based on meticulous statistical study only to miss their mark? Often times entirely! How many business plans, mood boards, plans in general end up looking completely different from what you at first thought? Things reveal themselves through the process. Trust the process of awakening to your highest potential - your highest potential is naturally in alignment with the highest potential of all. You paint the world that can be with your eyes and perspective every time that you behold anything. Remember always that you are the one who CHOOSES. Wherever we are collectively, we are. But where we can be - that depends entirely on your perspective of your and our position NOW. It is a simple game of getting on the right slide in the probable outcome playground. 🤟🏼🌞🌞 FREE YOUR HEART-MIND and #bethechange

A new matrix of meaning is in place. New ideas are circulating in the collective society. These ideas have transcended borders, cultural and ethnic lines - this immaterial space is our point of unity. It is the space from which we align our vision of the world we desire to experience, having learned from the pain and suffering of our past, of the choices we made or of the choices imposed on us which we inherited from past generations. What has changed beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that our collective understanding of freedom, truth, power, love - what it means to be human - has expanded exponentially. Through this we will dream the world we desire to live into existence. All it takes is for us to align our vision of the world that can be, and it will naturally come into being. A specific foundation (matrix of meaning) directs how the structure above it will manifest: i can’t set the foundations for a townhouse and expect a palace to emerge instead. Our only job is to manage this transition smoothly - eyes on the prize ⭐️ 🎞️ @womena exhibition in #Dubai #perspectiveshift #consciousnessshift #choosejoy #bethechange

We are consistently torn apart by the push and pull - the sense of should and shouldn’t that vie for our attention and energy. Is it distraction or opportunity? Is the snake luring you or guiding you? Is it you, being capricious before the looming face of your deepest fears and blockages, or is it you, alerting you that you are not on your way? A friend once gave me the best piece of advice: if you are ever lost, follow your pure heart’s joy and excitement. In my moments of greatest clarity, it all starts to look so obvious: I will be truly excited by what I REALLY want, my true hearts desire, and what I REALLY want is where I ought to be. It is my heart pulling me to my soul’s blueprint and true reason for being - my purpose. Where did this nonsense upside down reason sneak in, whereby where I “ought to be” is a path paved with persistent suffering and self denial until the whispers of my heart and inner guide are suffocated into extinction. Then i would really be alone. No compass, no direction, no purpose - prey to greater and sneakier magnitudes of influence. My compass allows me to discern what feels right or wrong. Why would I extinguish that? I would have to be totally mad to ignore my own excitement and hope to regain it in the places where I am bored to death!! What corrupt reason!! For those who are so trapped that happiness looks like a child’s caprice: why do you drink till you are shit faced wasted? Why do you take drugs and try to “get out of your head”? To gain a social excuse that would allow you to finally do what you actually want to do. What you are seeking through intoxication, is freedom. Too bad that by then the road to your free movement, actions and words is congested with the terrifying shadows that will be the first to come to light when you finally unclog yourself: they are simply the buried traumatic responses to your repeated self punishment and suffocation that must come to light, to be faced and released. The world comes up with so many reasons for you to bow away from what you really want: opportunity looks different for everyone. Beware the middle man between you and what you want - always remember: you are free.

Notes on Love: Just because we are One and I/Eye= I/Eye, does not mean we are not living this experience of separation. Both coexist, in the process that allows us to experience ourselves and the love of which we are made. So the question is: how do you prefer to be loved? Certainly not in the way where anyone can just come and touch you, kiss you, and do whatever they want, drink from your fountain, just because “universal love”. Universal love doesn’t mean you can just take without asking. The basis from which we build is universal respect of FREE WILL CHOICE aka respect for boundaries and personal space. The only reasonable course of action, is really just to ask 🤷🏽‍♀️ How dare you think you can extract a kiss from me just because I smile at you and reveal my true face and energy - without even asking? How dare you think you can touch me just because I am open and free in the love that I give? My openness is child-like - it is not an invitation into my pants. I may oblige if I decide, but it is my choice!! Merci beaucoup. 🤟🏼 My lips are my own, and I choose where to place them. If you want to cross the boundary into sexual territory YOU ASK POLITELY YOU DO NOT ASSUME IT IS YOURS TO TRESPASS INTO. The spaces built with the spirit and intention of the sacred knowledge have been infiltrated by capricious arrogant children - who dress the part, but that are not. Its so clear:your energy communicates your true state of mind instantly for those who can read 🤷🏽‍♀️ BEWARE OF NEW AGE TYPES - these people are not really universe mind, but wanna bes. Wanna bes are not truly prepared to do the work, they are not prepared to remove the mask and be authentic and true - they only felt what it felt like to be God from taking substances and were unable to bridge the gap between their present ego state and the God state they tasted by taking a bite of the Apple. It takes deep profound contemplation to align and harmonise the states - from present distortion to authentic being. Once there you have further contemplation of philosophical nuances that enable you to be a Creator without causing devastation to yourself and others. Peace ⭐️

Notes on creative process🦄 Spontaneous, impromptu, spur of the moment looking at someone and being like “hey! Want to play? Ya like, now? Tomorrow?” is my favourite way to explore and unleash my creativity and discover/connect/collaborate with awesome artists around the world. I find that the pure and natural feeling, the child-like desire to play, experiment, create, is very easily distorted and internally negotiated away in this society drowning in seas of chaotic voices. The best way that I’ve found to stave off the serpent that slithers its way into your ear to whisper distorted thoughts of great emotional sway and influence over your heart strings, is to stop myself from thinking when an idea that lights me up comes through and seize the moment instantly - to jump while my heart is free from doubt. This idea of preparation can be taken a little too far - we can prepare so much that the creation we plan to bring forward is stifled under bureaucracy and administrative pressures. Most of the time, when you are hanging around with your friends in your underwear and start to play as children do, you end up creating works of such pure authenticity that they shine irrespective of whether you have the right resolution camera. I mean, who cares about that right? I can have the best equipment ever and shoot mediocre click bait garbage, or i can have a pen and paper and jot down a miracle unfolding before my eyes that I happened to catch. Which is more valuable? 🙃 I know, nobody asked, but why not throw your thoughts into the matrix once in a while 🤣👋🏼 📷 bts sneak peak of play time with @beatrizvmoura and her weird and wonderful magical sculptures in her atelier in Lisbon

Zero attachment. Go with the feeling and don’t overthink. The space between the immediate jolt of inspiration and your physical expression of this feeling is where the magic does or doesn’t happen: if you pause for too long and are not well versed in the practice of holding space, you risk allowing the torrent of alternate voices to flood in and confuse you. Is it good? It is bad? Does it really matter, when its pure and true? A single painting can be painted over a million times in different palettes and shapes - if you are not open like this you cannot be a free flowing and open channel for the art of creation to funnel through you. We are vehicles for various energies to channel through us and find physical manifestation through our embodiment. I am like a river, I flow freely. Theres no need to allow everyone into your world - not everyone can comprehend it. We all have different eyes. Thats what makes us all special. Be selective and protect your energy and inner balance. This means knowing when not to speak. There is no use sharing with people who are unable to receive - yet. Maybe the time will come, maybe it won’t - but do I really want to enter into complicated explanations when I wasn’t really invited to? I cannot always control my external world and nor should I attempt it to a significant degree, but I can control my inner sanctum, and its important to control it there - to decide, not coerce, not repress, not admonish with a whip - just to nonchalantly decide. My game, my process, my pace, my questions, my answers. @francesco_scotti_ @mabys_art @samhoadhair @stav.jpeg @deadmandraws @zachbyzachary @malakqaoud @icdbrookfieldplace

I’ve been running so fast that I forget to remember, forget to appreciate, forget to celebrate all of the doors that I walk through on the road to becoming and being and existing as I am, pulling out of me all of the diamonds that want to come through me into this world. The road is long and the fulfilling experiences a continuous stream of pearls that you string into your necklace - its so easy to fall into the game of chasing the next gem, rather than integrate the fullness that the gems you already gathered have brought you. Theres no “there” to reach, even when you feel you’ve stepped into a whole new timeline, you’re already, always “here” - just at what point will you feel satisfied enough to just be ecstatic with existing as you are? The child-like, high voltage excitement of the journey can easily slip into a checklist and that route is filled with snake pits. No matter how righteous your goal - how many of those fell into dark clouds of corrupted intentions and misguided actions? I routinely have to remind myself of just how far I’ve come in transforming myself and my life after decades of self-suppression and sabotage. That integration is the foundation of your glorious, immaculate, uncompromisable sense of self - I don’t need to justify, prove or legitimise that worth. It simply is and even more so when I am showing up in the world as my genuine, unmasked self. Thats the goal. Not what achievements the unmasked self ticks off its list. That list is eternal 🤣 we’ve got infinite lives in this game of experience. Instead of celebrating being busy ticking boxes that fall into the black hole of “done, next” oblivion, I choose to truly LIVE. When I am eating from the tree of life I am life itself. Thats the energy that keeps you standing on top of the mountain -there really is no $$ or certificate or title that can get you there. Its not what you do but HOW. Build your dreams yes, but not at the expense of the energy that dream carries. As my magic mom loves to say: “My no.1 job is to ENJOY” Seemingly naïve at first, but sneakily wise, as always. 📷 Paris years ago when all seemed lost and I didn’t know that I was already a queen 🌈
