Art and Antiques are made with so much energy, usually with a vision, with craftsmanship, with a feeling and this gives an object soul.
Hence, owning and collecting art and antiques, not only literally enliven your home , it puts you in the position of expanding your consciousness.
We humans , you and also I all travel a different path in this life. The route and sometimes the turns we take are usually subject to choice.
Continuous renewal and putting yourself at number 1
The more connected we experience with ourselves, the better we can express ourselves and the more we will feel connected with the world around us.
Growth and expanding your consciousness does not always happen without a struggle.
The myth of The Phoenix is a great example of this; this myth has reached all parts of the earth "that fantastic majestic bird which the ancients believed was unique and reborn from its ashes. The Phoenix symbolized rebirth and a new era of wealth and fertility for Egyptian culture. Immortality and resurrection for the Greco-Romans. Breaking with limitations for the Persians. It is also a symbol of great virtue, grace, power and prosperity for Chinese culture. The myth of the phoenix shows that we all have it in us as humans to renew ourselves. But every birth takes effort.
I would like to quote from the book by Haruki Murakami: Kafka on the beach
This represents for me a modern view of the phoenix myth.
Sometimes fate is like a Sandstorm that keeps changing direction.
You change direction, but the sandstorm chases you.
You turn again, but the storm adjusts.
Time after time you play this out, like an ominous dance with death just before dawn.
This storm is you. It is Something within you.
So all you can do is give in to it, step straight into the storm,
close your eyes and plug your ears so the sand doesn't get in,
and walk through it step by step.
There is no sun, no moon, no direction, no sense of time there.
Just fine white sand swirling into the air like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you have to imagine.
As metaphysical or symbolic as it may be, make no mistake, it is a cutting storm.
And once the storm is over, you don't know how you got through it, how you survived it. In fact, you're not even sure if the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you are not the same person who came in. That's what this storm is all about.
The so-called awakening process.
An awakening process always takes an inner struggle to become from a personal human being the supra-personal human being.
**I have learned not to take both myths and ancient writings literally,** but to look at them from a broad perspective, objectively, and to ask myself over and over again: what is really meant here, what is the essence of this story?
c'est la vie,
