“Creating
world harmony through practising stillness, and releasing creativity”
Contemplation and creativity
are two unifying factors that can bring about world harmony.
In
the past, collaborations of artists, poets and musicians have said the things
that have needed to be said to said. They have had the courage to say the
un-sayable, to paint or write what is on everyone’s lips, but they weren’t bale
to say.
In
this new cultural movement, you are the artist. You are the
creator of your own life. Together, in collaboration, we can co-create a world
of Harmony.
Many people think “Creativity is for artists and composers, and that’s that”. This is not true. We can be involved in a creative act in every single moment of our lives. True creativity is to take something ordinary, invest it with your personal energy, and to transform it into something extraordinary.

I once had a dream.
I saw the earth,
and it was as though I was hovering above it. It was covered in dark, old bull rushes.
A small fire started on the earths surface, and it spread. I saw a figure
fanning a flame. Then on the other side of the earth, there was another fire,
then another and another. As the flames spread, the bullrushes were burnt away,
and they revealed an incredible mosaic. The Mosaic was vibrant and alive, and
filled with colour.
This is the closest
I have ever go to painting it.
The piece is called
“Transformation.”
The blue gives way
to life and light and passion, and moves towards harmony. The sixth frame of
"transformation" is figurative of a constellation of balanced
harmonious relationships where our differences are accepted and respected, and
perceived as our balancing strengths.
Since painting them
it’s been amazing hearing what other people see in them. "The beginning of
the universe", "A virus spreading", "Two people becoming
one", "A process of organisational change."
In this art
movement, YOU are the artist.
Consider this for a moment. Imagine that the earth was comeplet and perfect. Imagine that heaven was touching earth. What would it look like? What would it feel like to you? What would be different? What would be the same?
What makes you feel alive?
If you had a work of art that relflected these feelings, what would it look like?
Post your answers
below. Lets see just how full of beauty the world is.

To me , heven on earth is being in tune with what is, now.
I love that sense of heightnened awareness, where the world seems just that bit more alive and vibrant. This feeling enhances good times, and carries me through bad times.
Heaven on earth to me would be working alongside other people who want to make a real difference to themselves, and to help others find peace, serenity and creativity. To see how good life is, in the full spectrum of its emotions and experiences.
Heaven on earth to me would be to be continually reminded of this "aliveness". To be inspired to stay kind and true to those around me. And to be a bit less grumpy on some mornings :)
