Canvas: musical composition - etc!

Now please continue your discussions on these metaphysical aspects in your narratives!

shone on two neighboring walls of

my room during sunny daytime

@Dr Ali Anani , Ph D My thoughts took me elsewhere! Very Good Idea to moot the point with two rainbows!Gradually unknown to readers and unaware to the author the arrows from the bows cris cross; create and recreate; supplementing and complimenting each other to develop into the brilliantly lit soothing sight on large canvas of the Sky! Best of the Luck Dr Ali!

@GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:

Heart moves Heart when on the love length! Soul connects soul while on spiritual axis! Thank you: I wish and pray all people on this planet Earth come together!!!

@GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:

Rainbow colour supplement and merge with each other to produce the third vibrancy and similar Seven hues! What does this tell us? Mix and mingle the human emotions with each other person, one and another race and colour!

Page 10: Thinking shapes and colors

@GramaKeshava Ananthram made the following comment:

Even vegetation too do cross pollination; absolutely necessary! Human races have thus come together to produce better progenies! But alas minds and hearts have not yet succeeded! I keep on and on and on hoping: hoping: hoping-------- Hoping!

Contributed the following:Dr. Ali, "Yes, thinking shapes, indeed. That is why training the mind by reading good contents and practicing what is learned helps the mind rain more and support the heart feel better.This combination then bears beautiful rainbows. And your rainbows are results of your work."

Let us go back to our childhood and neighbourhood days!Do you remember having danced in the rains getting wet and all drenched and dripping with broad smiles from ear to ear in spite of the reprimands of the elders, particularly of Grand Mother's anxious cries!

Do you remember picking up the little hail stones and enjoying sucking the ice pebbles?

You will get hailstorms of ideas Dr Ali; Go, once again; dance in the rains!

I believe that the fundamental language of thinking is in primal shapes and colors.As I look at the presentation, I was reminded of one of my favorite artists: the abstract Russian Painter, Wassily Kandinsky. And it's the second time in three days that I'm reminded of Kandinsky's soul and contribution. The first was a feature of Kandinsky's art last Friday during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. My second reminder of Kandinsky is your presentation, "Thinking Shapes and Colors.“

I believe that as in Kandinsky's art, we express our innermost thoughts and desires through the use of simple shapes and colors.

I can only think of how often we, as writers sometimes choose a favorite set of words to make our "play" with them. We must not repeat ourselves when writing. Just as a painter strokes his brush, or even the way God "paints" rainbows in the sky, no artist's endeavors are quite the same.

Contributed by: Karin Hurt As a writer, I find that I experience the rainbow of stories in my life at a deeper level than I did before I was writing. I look more deeply at the colors and shapes, to understand how I may better draw them so others may feel and learn.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Last days have been the hottest days I have ever experienced in my life.I wake up very early and open doors and windows just to let the fresh morning breeze in and blow outside the heavy and thick air of the night before. I then walk across the garden and gently touch the round, tiny dew drops still covering the deep-green grass and some few flowerbeds of unknown shapes.I look up. The sky is empty and gray. No clouds randomly passing by high above and my thought runs free: are the long, thin, multi-colored dracaenas stairways to heaven? But all I see is a monotonous skyline, shaped by the roof of neighbors’ houses right over my own wall painted into dull concrete color as well.Till the moment the sun slowly rises like a ball of fire behind the poor view and everything around me shines.So I can see all marvelous shapes and colors of my ordinary life. Shapes and colors which seem God created just for me and a new day begins again… I start watering the garden and then I have a little rainbow in my square-shaped front yard.

We all transition to physical existence imbued by Spirit with a unique bounty of gifts.

The richness and blending of the colors on the palette is fashioned uniquely as they pass through those gifts, just as water becomes tea by passing through the tea press and dough becomes cookie by the shape of the extruder.

Same colors; same ingredients... different gifts; different rainbows.

Ice crystals form rainbows.The quality of ice crystals then determines the quality of the rainbow. We say some ideas are crystal clear. So, ideas form rainbowsby deduction.

Moving one more step: low quality water doesn't form crystals or ones that are distorted.

So, are crude "idea crystals".

If a low quality water is cooled to form crystals in the presence of music, then much higher quality crystals are formed. By extrapolation, if we stay cool and think in a musical and relaxing atmosphere better "Idea crystals" should form.

Every moment we stay wasted in lowest level of mundane magic, forgetting illusion is not THE REALITY.

We tend to take pride in lowest level of crawling! We do not realize we have to walk and climb the highest peak of the mountain and touch the sky! We gloat in what we did, over glorifying the simple things the Ants also do, collecting and hoarding wealth that do belong to all, over lording they are ours!We pronounce judgment without realizing we stand in the docks

It is never easy to map emotions on the body. From scientific studies it resulted that people reported that happiness and love sparked activity across nearly the entire body, while depression had the opposite effect: It dampened feelings in the arms, legs and head. Not everybody paints each emotion in the same way.

I ask in slide 29 ‘WHAT IS COLOUR?’ after telling you in slide 28. Did you get the point? It concerns pigments, which crystals are. Crystals mined from the earth contain metaphysical properties reputed to subtly assist us on subtle levels. Spectrum field and pigments can help us to shape our lives.

Ali, Great thoughts. I like your analogies because they often illustrate one-to-one mapping; there's always a strong logic and parallel between the objects or phenomena being compared. Also, as an observer of the practice of what Edward Wilson calls "Consilience", I like how you are seamlessly combining science and the humanities. I'm therefore looking forward to your addition of other analogies in the presentation.

Sacred geometry is apparent in the natural realm, depicted by spiral galaxies, hexagonal snowflakes, and even in the commonly seen shapes such as the sunflower and the honeycomb. Light language is a system of sacred geometry, developed and kept alive by the Mayan and Aztec civilizations. Starr Fuentes introduced this ancient system to the modern era.

The Five Elements and their cycles of balance and imbalance are the basis for much of Chinese culture.

The Rainbow is mentioned at least twice scripturally. We find it first in the book of Genesis. Finally, it is mentioned is in the book of Revelation. In the book of Genesis verse 9 chapter 11. It is referred to as "Bow" that represents a covenant God made with Noah and all living things This covenant seals the promise that the earth will never again be destroyed by water, as it previously was during the days of Noah. Through obedience, Noah found grace in the eyes of God. Therefore, he survived the flood.

When the Rainbow shows up, it commands attention whether it shines through the clouds, or positions on different surfaces. The colors illuminate and are seven in number. Neither the colors Black or White is listed among them. So far as the capacity of the human eye to behold, the colors seen are Red, Orange, yellow, Green, blue, indigo and Violet.

Whilst blue is the world’s most frequently chosen colour (most corporate logosare blue) mainly signifying calm and stability – other colours have extraordinarypower. Here are just a few….Green the human eye can distinguish many shades of green (hence why night vision goggles are green). It relaxes the human nervous system and interestingly – when Blackfriars Bridge in London was painted green – suicide rates fell by 34%!Green plant walls and being near greenery is a major productivity booster.Red is energy, passion and considered lucky/beautiful in Asian culture. Hard colour to balance’ as many lighter shades are more symbolic of love and successwhereas darker shades may indicate aggression and bloodshed.Yellow a happy colour that stimulates mental creativity & focus. It can also denote approachability. In Indian culture it is sacred (particularly in spring). Over 50% of the pencils sold annually in the USA are yellow!Purple historically a royal colour as it was expensive to produce before WilliamHenry Perkin discovered mauveine. Generally seen as opulent and noble

Colour has immense power on human mood..

A range of treatments linked to colour are beginning to be developed – which alter the state of people’s minds (positive effects are lowered stress, less anxietygreater clarity and even overcoming physical conditions.

Have you noticed that sometimes a colour does not ‘fit’ with a shape. An item of clothing, a kitchen implement, a car. This can mean we associate those items with a particular mood or purpose – and the incorrect colour can disrupt that mood, association or purpose. Maybe that explains why most Ferrari’s are not grey, and most mens’ business suits are not pink?

Perhaps we are even hard wired to finding materials in our physical world that transmit colour through material that symbolise where we are from. Only recently did I discover that turquoise originated in Turkey – but in ancient Persia it was used to ward off evil spirits. David Icke became a UK ‘figure of ridicule’ for alwayswearing a turquoise coloured suit – but given his life crusade – maybe this is why!

Rainbows combine shape and color.

From my somewhat limited perspective, it appears that rainbows universally produce similar results in people when they see a real one.

The characteristics of that product include joy and peace. There is no confusion in what people feel.

Contribution by: Jeff Washburn

Page 52: Thinking shapes and colors

Contrast this with the preceding rainstorm.

There can be pleasure and there can be foreboding.

These two oppose one another, and, therefore, confusion exists during the storm.

No peace exists in the middle of confusion.

Other shapes and associated colors that produce good results include: flowers, mountain lakes, springs, creeks, evergreen trees, the young of mammals, very high, contiguous, vertical rock, purple glass bottles, artifacts of bygone civilization.
