This Video Captures The Pure Magic in This “Bioluminescent Forest”

maxresdefault (33)Artists Friedrich van Schoor and Tarek Mawad combine their skills to create a stunning audiovisual light show called “bioluminescent forest”.  Their fascination with nature and all of it’s amazing sights and sounds can be seen in this epic video which lasts less than 4 minutes.

The video is nothing short of a masterpiece and for me the combination of nature with their stunning animation work is what really sets it off.  Check out the video below:

Celebrate the Mathematical Beauty of Nature With The Fibonacci Coloring Book

I cannot express how much I love this book! It has been created by a South American designer and illustrator named Rafel Araujo., and thanks to a very successful KickStarter campaign this colouring book is going to be available around the world very soon.

Each image is said to have to have taken up to 100 hours to complete and you can really see the amount of hard work that has gone into this book as the level of detail in each image is simply breath-taking.

The book is called ”The Golden Ration Coloring Book” and each drawing is based on the intelligent patterns we find throughout nature in beautiful objects such as the wings of butterflies, seashells, crystals and even galaxies.

5 Reasons Why You Should Drink Yerba Mate Instead of Coffee

Not a lot of people have even heard of Yerba Mate, that is, unless you live in South America, in which case you probably drink it more than Coffee. However, in the rest of the world it has mostly remained a novelty drink.

This is however, rapidly beginning to change, with more and more information present and available as to its magical benefits.

Here are 5 reasons to switch from Coffee, to Yerba Maté!

1. It’s stimulation lasts much longer!

Obviously, both Coffee and Yerba Mate contain Caffeine and thus cause a bodily and mental stimulation. Both contain roughly 75-80 mg of caffeine in an average cup. However, the caffeine in Yerba Mate seem to work differently.

Most research shows that the stimulation lasts much longer than Coffee, and simultaneously seems to induce a sense of wellbeing! It both stimulates you, and soothes you at the same time.

2. Antioxidants galore!

It has an extraordinarily high level of Antioxidants, which neutralize disease-causing molecules! Continue reading

Daily Divination 4/5/16 ~ Time to Be a Warrior!

Uruz reversed followed by Tiwaz

Today’s reading reminds us that every so often, it is time to stand up and be a warrior. We want to be peaceful, we want to be happy, loving, and caring to each other. We should do that as much as we possibly can, but eventually, somebody somewhere is just going to be an obstacle, and that obstacle will need to be overcome.

rune 4416 keywords

We all have a warrior in us. In ancient times, that warrior jumped to action when a tiger came into camp. That warrior protects her children and defends his family. That warrior is represented by the rune Tiwaz, named after the Nordic god of war, Tyr, and is now our common symbol of an arrow. He is known through the ages for his honor, justice, and courage. Uruz is the rune of the ox, most known for its strength and stamina, which give it the ability to overcome virtually any obstacle.

In this reading, however, Uruz is reversed. Nine of the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark, (the set in this reading), can manifest in reverse which results in a different, sometimes opposite, meaning. Uruz in reverse can be interpreted externally as dangers or more internally as areas in which we may lack strength.

What we interpret in this meaning as it applies to today, is that it might be time to take on your fears, your personal demons, or your obstacles. Call on your inner warrior to stand up and fight off some of the things that are holding you back. This could be a person, a plan, a lack of motivation or some nagging obligations that you have not yet conquered.

It is time to stand in your power and take charge. Let your warrior lead the way and have faith in your own strength.

Pixar Cartoon Reveals the Magic of Ancient Indian Spirituality

Pixar Studios has recently come out with a new short cartoon, which was featured at the beginning of the good dinosaur last year. It was directed by their new Animation director “Sanjay Patel”. This short, Sanjay’s Super Team, is a personal story of growth and awareness in a child’s eye, and the relationship between a boy and his father.

Snjy-big

Beyond that, it’s a relationship with a child’s understanding of the aspects of the universe that are bigger than our physical selves, which is a very powerful realization in a child’s eyes. In seeing these spiritual representations of the universe in his own inner-vision, he begins to make relationships between the forces of the universe and how consciousness works.

When the demon is destroyed, he doesn’t blow up… He calms down, completely surrenders and relaxes into peaceful serenity, and dissolves through the void, and into a new reality.

That’s a pretty powerful lesson for a young boy!

It’s a very touching movie!

With love,
Jordan

If I – A Philosophical Stand Up Comedy

“I feel like everything in reality can change with just a subtle shift in perspective”

Demetri Martin is an interesting character, a philosophical comedian who takes ideas and concepts, and breaks them down, mixes them around, and shows the relationships between things that otherwise you likely would never have known they were there.

This sketch of his is both entertaining, and inspires creative thought! Enjoy.
