Lofoten Wall mountains reflected in the calm waters of Sandvika Bay off the Norwegian Sea on a crystal-clear summer day.

Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.

Olafsfjordur, one of Iceland's Northfjords, in a panoramic view on a glorious day of seasonal change in May, the mountains still remaining in deep winter while the weather claims its Spring :). This is a monochrome version of a previously uploaded full colour image.
This mannequin was posing outside a closing store and seemed to be dreaming of a life as a real person~ This was around sunset time~ I really loved the light here ;-D
Garnet Avenue ~ Pacific Beach ~ San Diego ~ California ~ USA ~ Planet Earth ~
I’m standing in a long line outside the post office
Eager to mail a greeting card to my mother
My nostrils draw in the crisp winter air
And release miniscule pieces of a faint song
Resonating softly inside the temple of my heart
It’s another of the many soul promptings
Urging forth the voice of the Dreamer
The greatest advocate of Light
Ever dancing in the the first octave of Life
Setting free tides of Consciousness
Against the shores of a world mind
Which has forgotten its cosmic origins
Slowly the line moves forward…
I feel the waves penetrating old residual energies
As the innermost voice gets louder and clearer
Aligning the fifty trillion cells of my body
Electrical impulses animate the blood
With goosebump effects on my skin
From beneath my boots the earth shoots up
A cool wind pushes against the back of my coat
Reminding me that the origin of the melody
Is not caught in the confines of the flesh
But illuminates the Song of Life
From every point in space
Beyond all human intelligence and power
While most of the people in front of me stare at their cell phones…
My eyes seal shut to revel in this private rapture
Taking my mind beyond the world of alluring distractions
Inviting me to follow what the fifty trillion already know
The spinning ball of earth and water hold the rhythm steady
While flashes of magnetic fire and heat move in graceful intimacy
Reassurance drenches all the suspicious and thirsty places
Each speck of anxious resistance burns in this sweet surrender
Deep and dark attachments to anything restrictive is set ablaze
The song rises above the wintery city
Beyond nations and borders
Bursting through a million galaxies of starbursts and silence
Where birth and death are only notes on a scale that never ends
Creation calls through its infinite instruments to keep playing
My eyes open just in time to see the man behind the glass motioning me to come in…
The dancing atoms cannot keep themselves six feet apart…
The man and I nod kindly to each other as I enter the building
Happy weekend dear friends! :-)

Other than a slight color correct and clarify...nothing else was done to this...simply my reflection in the window of a truck during the rain we had today. The opportunity was there...and I took it.

watching sunset boulevard: I took the pic of Norma, daughter the selfportrait
And I promise you I'll never desert you again because after 'Salome' we'll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
Park Boulevard Egyptian condominiums with what remains of the Egyptian cinema ( now an antiques store )
Hillcrest
There were these large, comfortable armchairs, dark pink velvet ... just big enough, to allow a little girl of maybe 3, 4, 5 years to sit and stand and dangle as she wanted to ... and she was hanging down there for hours, knees bent over one armrest, head dangling close to the ground - and let her mind wander through spheres and spaces and times.
# 7 Think, Think, Think ... lol
As a very small child I could go crazy about questions like "if there is eternity, when did it start, and what was before, when will it end and what will be later ... and what on earth does "eternal" mean" - "if the All is infinite, where does or will it end, and if it doesnt end anywhere and expands constantly, what was there before" ... and I could feel my mind twist and try and become desperate and then again starting to think and to feel.
And I drove my mother crazy, because so many nights, when she brought me to bed, I asked these questions again and again. Never content with the answers "Girl, its just like that" ... "A human mind just cant understand it"
The big armchairs helped a lot, lol ... you would find that little girl there, hanging down, for long times, trying to change perspective and to get a grip on answers.
Imagining how the world would feel, if the floor was in fact the ceiling, and it was just misapprehension, that all and everybody felt, they were walking upright, when in fact everybody was hanging down from the ceiling - just called "floor" by common consensus, based on error :-)
Imagining, that the dreamstate was the true reality - and caused by that, shouldn't anybody, being in dreamland, perceive the so-called reality as the real dream?
Did everybody see the world in the same way? Or was it just learned and consensus, that all described something as "red", but in fact somebody else would see it in a colour, the little girl would have called blue?
What if all was happening simultaneously and time was inexistant, was only a concept? (Oh no, these thoughts came later, lol)
No answers, no answers, no answers ... but the girl dangled happily, her mind tried to expand and to understand and to embrace the inexplicable.
And the little girl always had a deep desire to understand ... and found it extremely difficult to just believe.
For many years, these ideas became less important, they never disappeared completely, but played a minor role. As it is - life moved on, changes, joy, grief, growing up, school, "what do you want to learn, to become and where do you want to live, ?" ... oh, the answer was still "all, everything, everywhere", just spoken inside, lol .... friendships ...loves ...wild times ... studies ... work
And then the questions came back full force, dressed a bit differently now, like: what is the meaning of life, how can I handle the fact of death, what is freedom ... first in the form of just being interested in philosophical and spiritual ideas - afterwards by becoming and being a professional teacher for yoga and meditation - and then again in form of thinking, thinking, thinking, and trying to understand - and still for me it was extremely difficult to believe. I wanted to understand, to get answers, to find peace ...
Often mind churning ... heart churning ... for long times ...
And no longer armchairs large enough for a grown-up as help, lol.
But changing perspective still helps, it is just more an internal change, than hanging upside down, lol.
Feelings detach the thoughts, mind slowly navigates through spaces, times, spheres, is feeling its way now more than thinking its way ... all happens now ... time is nonexistent ... eternity is timeless ... perception is individual ... all is connected ... every path is right ... mind is always moving ... nothing will ever end... everything is always expanding...
Moments of certainty ... stillness ... connection ... and - bliss.
Love stories - so many over the years of my life ... lol ... but its mostly a love story with the little girl, who was thinking so fearlessly and by that laying the ground for all to come ...
Music choice ... which represents for me more than any other music the free-flowing mind (and written only some years after the "dangling and think-time", lol)

And for all of you, my dearest friends on flickr, a very happy New Year ... full of insights, of joy, of happiness, of dreams, of wishes to be fulfilled, of perspectives changing into gourgeous ones - of courage and power and freedom.
Its such a joy to share with you some parts of me - and - what I never expected to happen - that some of you share parts of your pasts and processes here, this bringseven so much more joy!!!
Thank you for that.
And the warmest regards to all of you from the little girl, still happily dangling from the velvet covered armchair :-))))). Remember, time is non-existant ... lol.
324/365 - Speak no evil; hear no evil; see no evil. This FlickrMeet with Nerboo and what is real? turned goofy in the graveyard. Thanks, guys, for including me on a great day! Let's do it again.
Parallel Realities
Everything you experience as solid and "real" is a vibration of energy – held, or locked in place, by belief systems. If, for a moment, you could set aside all mental programs about your reality, you would experience an entirely different perspective of what you call reality.
We would like you to receive the idea that there are several realities, several outcomes, several parallel realities that could always manifest.... You and others are broadcasting energy in the form of your thoughts, your emotions, and your beliefs at all times. As you send the energy forth, several realities are always possible. The reality that manifests is the one you have focused more of your energy on.
We are encouraging you to.... embrace the countless realities that are only a frequency, a vibration away.
