El Dragon
These symbols, the art that manifests through me, represent a portal into our mystical past, present, and future. In the vision, we are encouraged to maturate and embody a deeper connection to subtle energies, spiritual symbols, and higher frequencies and awaken to other dimensions—leading us to a transformational doorway of joy.

Shri Yantra
I started this after my last aya journey, and I was deeply called to create it. I had no idea what a Shri Yantra was two months ago and never even heard the term. It’s fundamentally sacred geometry that points to a deep understanding of the universe through geometry and symbols. This painting was created on a 5X6 foot canvas made with oil paints. It also has crystals and gold glitter. The crystals help reflect the beauty of the universal energy, and the glitter embodies all the stars in the cosmos. This creation was a joy to make and exemplifies a big step in my journey toward the infinite and…

Quetzalcoatl II
Quetzalcoatl, in its literal sense, means ‘serpent of precious feathers’, but in the allegorical sense, ‘wisest of men’. God of life, light, and wisdom, lord of the day and the winds. Quetzalcoatl was revered as the patron of priests, the inventor of the calendar and of books, he was also identified with the planet Venus. I have been having visions of him all week and can’t stop painting him. Paint on paper.

Kwan Yin Has Been Following Me
A statue of Kwan Yin has been stalking me since it arrived on the property at the nonprofit where I dedicate my love and energy. I had never heard of Kwan Yin before the stature arrived. I eventually asked the board president why this symbol was so important, and at the bottom of the two-page document that he sent me, it stated the following: “Kwan Yin’s name means the one who hears all sounds of suffering in the world. Kwan Yin is a deity of mercy and compassion and blesses all travelers and pilgrims on the Path.” Upon further investigation, I found that our new statue Kwan Yin has many…

Beyond Order Book Review
I am both a fan and a critic of Jorden Peterson. Much of his writing intrigues me and some of it confuses me. Nonetheless, I do feel refreshed and stimulated when I absorb his views. I also note that he is controversial in many circles, but this is even more of a reason to read his work. We should not shy away from reading that challenges our own ways of thinking—In fact, we need to seek it out. His first book was about chaos and this one concentrates on order. Chaos and order are at the core of what Jordon Peterson talks about mostly. I made a lot of highlights…

Daily Productivity
Success doesn’t come overnight. Unless you win the lottery or your rich uncle Mike dies and leaves you a fortune. I had a rich uncle that I didn’t speak with for over 20 years, and when he died, he didn’t leave me a cent. My advice is not to bet on any rich uncle and to do the work because it matters. Ultimately, you want to add value to the world no matter how rich you or your uncle get. Though it feels like money is essential to work, finding meaning in what you do is way more fulfilling. Building something of value takes time and each day’s effort compounds…
