I wonder how will this list look if it was politically correct, written by a non-American or created by a woman for men… :)

EnJOY,

Darina

SAND ART Mastery ~ from Dirty Car Art to Sand Animation Fantasy +

http://joybringer.gaia.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 03:18:55 GMT

What comes to mind when you hear SAND ART? - may be sand castles & amazing sculptures on the beach? Or the amazing Buddhist colorful sand mandalas? And rightfully so, but they are just part of it. The name "Sand Animation Art" succinctly explains the medium, but does not fully articulate the wonder that it actually often provokes.

Always in constant motion, evolving every second, Sand Animation Art involves subtle participation as we watch unique live performance art created before our very eyes, minds & hearts. Usually accomplished using a projector & screen, the artist, first sprinkles a layer of sand on a transparent canvas & then proceeds to re-create intricate, seemingly 3 dimensional landscapes, symbols & figures. As soon as the first creation is finished, it is swept away or transformed to become something entirely new & original. Temporary renderings are completed at a really swift pace with precise and gentle hand strokes to our rising amazement. The synchronized music adds to the hypnotic effect, even when watching it on an online video, to complete the mesmerizing effect of these sand art masters & their incredible creations.

Sand Animation Art was pioneered by Caroline Leaf who made her first sand animation film in 1968. Ever since, a small dedicated group of people from around the world continues to practice this rare & captivating form to our delight, innertainment and inspiration.

Life Is Fun Sand Art

I invite you to explore 3 unique artists & their marvelous videos as you enjoy the sand art images sprinkled in between.

The first one is actually in its own category "Dirty Car Art" & is about Scott Wade who turns muddy, grimy, dirty cars into masterful works of art that will wash away in the next rainstorm...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1wfWPtjxMA 5:54 min

The Hungarian-born Sand artist Farenc Cako is considered one of the masters. His deft hands and focused finger tips are staggering to see in action. Here is a short amazing clip of his unforgettable rendition of Animals in the mystery of sand.

I have shared some incredible pieces of Ilana's sand art before & below I have embedded more mesmerizing videos to illustrate the neverending appeal of the Sand Art of IIana Yahav. Just be in the moment as she creates these extraordinary sand phantasy art pieces - feel the beauty of the stream of heART & the flow of Love through Sand…

What IS That St/Age?!? ~ Laughing Break

http://joybringer.gaia.com — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 06:09:57 GMT

GUESS What IS That St/Age IF...

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who enters into your space...

Your best friend is dating someone half their age & isn't breaking any laws...

You start regreting all those mistakes you made resisting temptation...

You give up all your bad habits and you still don't feel good...

People check in at dusk & even ask, "Did I wake you?"...

You may live without sex, but not without sleep...

You are asleep, but others worry you are dead...

You 'turn out' the light for eco - no reasons...

Your deriere goes out more than you do...

You know ALL the answers, but no

body asks you the questions...

So think long and smart

What is That St/Age?

Visual help 4U

Re: My 30 minutes "no thought" challenge, FASCINATING!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing.

My 30 minutes "no thought" challenge, FASCINATING!!!!!!!!!

http://onegoal.gaia.com — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 23:26:39 GMT

I want to share with you an experience i had when i was experimenting on
the 30 minutes "no thought" challenge i created in one of my groups.

I cannot believe i meditated for hours before trying this breath awareness (without any thought, feelings or emotions coming in) and cannot do the 15 minutes challenge (at the 15 minutes "no thought" challenge group at <a href="http://onegoalinc.ning.com/groups">www.onegoalinc.ning.com</a>).

I just did the first 2 minutes, and that was after trying for an hour or so.
When a thought comes, i start again until i complete the 30 min. experience without thoughts, feelings or emotions coming in.

I want to discover the secret in this breathing (with no thoughts). I just am so close to doing it, i cannot stop. I just have this knowingness. So I laid down and closed my eyes and looked at the clock before i started.

It puzzles me how can i meditate before (i had been meditating for 29 yrs. before i tried this experiment) for hours with no thoughts. Now, i can't even do 15 minutes without thoughts coming in. This is absurd.

Then i remembered, I had a process of getting out of the body and plunging to the void before. I was taught that by my master. That's maybe the reason why i by-passed the thoughts when i was meditating before.

I did the 30 minutes challenge finally after 2 hours of trying. In my mind i said to myself ( like Buddha sat resolved to get enlightenment at all cost) i won't get out of this bed without getting it right. I just will do it right this time, and i will.

I debugged the whole process. I first put the thought separate from me breathing. I then went inside the thought, then i went inside me breathing. I
looked at the whole thing objectively and i thought, there's something wrong here, something illogical...

It then dawned on me that my beingness was not based on truth, i am not the one breathing. If i am not the one breathing, then who am i? I am the breath, Eureka!

Well, i then played with me, the breath, like the air in the void....wooow! The key for me is breathing harder. Reminded me of pranayama "yogic breathing exercise".

This time aware of me as one as all. Just so freeing. Felt like the real me because even if my eyes were closed, i am fully aware of my breathing. Meditation was more passive but expansive. I remembered there was this flow there in my meditation and i just flow with that.

This time, it is more me changing my beingness as me, to me as air swimming in space but aware, just like i can go throughout infinity, aware and back here as me, the breath with a body where me, the breath can also move or direct my body. I felt in one moment , me as orange lights flickering as "Oneness and Equality as all life expressions in its totality." Then i felt i can change infinite beingnesses in one moment and still not change me in essence. Fascinating!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy.

Re: DNA Personals & Jokes

http://joybringer.gaia.com — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:37:01 GMT

I was spontaneously sent on a DNA ad-ven-ture by a puzzling riddle... Since some interesting 'things' turned me on, I am passing them to you with a touch of joy & aroma of smiles... :)

DNA: A complex organic molecule characterized as the building block of life and appropriately shaped like a spiral staircase to nowhere...

DNA PERSONALS

I've been single-stranded too long! Lonely ATGCATG would like to pair up with congenial TACGTAC.

Menage a trois! Ligand seeks two receptors into binding and mutual phosphorylation. Let's get together and transduce some signals.

Some dates have called me a promotor. Others have referred to me as a real operator. Personally, I think I'm just a cute piece of DNA who is still looking for that special transcription factor to help me unwind.

Highly sensitive, orally active small molecule seeks stable well-structured receptor who knows size isn't everything.

There must be a rational way to meet a date! I'm tired of hanging out in those molecular diversity bars, hoping to randomly bump into the right peptide. I want a molecule that will fit right into my active site & really turn me on. I'll send you my crystal structure if you send me yours!

Gene therapy graduate. After years of producing nothing but gibberish, I've shed my exons and am ready to express my introns. All I need is a cute vector to introduce me to the right host.

My RNA, I'm sorry I misread your UAAUAAUAA and inserted three tyrosines when you repeatedly asked me to stop. Something got lost in the translation. Please forgive me.

Naked DNA with sticky ends seeks kanamycin-resistant plasmid. EcoR1 sites preferred.

Uninhibited virus seeks reason to make me shed my coat protein.

This very selective oliogonucleotide has been probing for just the right target for long term hybridization.

Mature cell seeks same who still enjoys cycling and won't go apoptotic on me. Let's fight senescence together!

I'm a prolific progenitor with great potential for growth and self-renewal. Call me if you're a potent hematopoietic factor who still believes in endless nights of colony stimulation.

I don't always express myself on the surface, but I'm looking for a signal that you appreciate my complexity. Send me the right message that will penetrate my membranes, turn on my protein expression and release my potential energy.

And if you are not genetically turned on by now, then a little more DNA foreplay...
