© C J Lewis Mixed media of photography and digital art created using Apophysis & PhotoPlus6 air-brush tool. JANUARY 2009 FEATURED IN Unconventional Artistry group AND Core (C.O.R.E) group AND Music Inspired Art (M.I.A) group This art is also included in the Digital Collection #2 2009 Calendar which you can see Here Based on a spiritual experience when 13yrs old. In a dream I was taken in spirit to the top chamber of a pyramid (above the Kings Chamber) where I was placed on an alter and a vibrant white light came shooting down from the heavens through a pin hole in the top of the pyramid and spread over and through me while at the same time lights shot out of me…then all went calm and I woke up. Coldplay To me, Touched By The hand Of God means many things. God being the name I choose to use for the greater source energy that is within all and that we can access through our conscious awareness of being by which we can then connect to all creativity, transformation and knowledge for our life from within…the light that guides us by our conscious awareness of the gift of life we have been honoured to live. The light that guides from higher intelligence…to our intellect…our intuition…and gives us self control over the egoic mind, the old devil, that causes so much pain and sorrow not only in our personal life but also in this world. / MCN:C0793-EF08E-59B82

Therefore if we give out good thoughts eventually they will occur and if we give out bad (evil) thoughts…they too will eventually occur…it is all in our control, and this, I believe, also includes the movements of Mother Nature…as Mother Nature is also a part of the ALL…so if we think disasters are going to happen…we move the energies to bring that to be by emitting those vibrations, therefore, we should always think good thoughts which in turn emits good vibrations which become good reactions to our action of thinking. The Nothingness is abundant in all things and will bring to us what we need and desire…as such all humans should ensure that they are needing and desiring in the correct manner….and NOT thinking, or focusing, on poverty, disease, disasters, global warming or any other such evil which are being illumed to be through thinking, talking and writing of such evils. Thinking, talking and writing are all movements of energy in that they are actions so therefore will have a reaction. For those that will say but there is also an opposite reaction…yes, the opposite to giving out…is…receiving back. © C J Lewis, Sydney, 2008.

We are vibrations; so smell it, feel it, see it, taste it, hear it, breath it and live it with love…open up your senses to who and what you are…for what your vibrations put out, governed by your emotions, is what you get back. Vibrations are the energy waves of your emotions. To live in the Light means to be consciously aware that you are the Light and as such the vibrations of your emotions do have an effect upon not only yourself but also others around you. Here is an excerpt from ‘The Seat Of The Soul’ by Gary Zukav taken from Chapter 6 – Light (page 93/94). You participate in a form of data bank exchange, so to speak, with all the souls that you are close to, and, to some extent, with all the souls that touch your life. As you shift your data bank content and the information that you send to a soul, it is processed through his or her own system. It is at that level that the cause and effect of your intentions, they way that you choose to shape your energy, influences others. How does this happen? You are a system of Light, as are all beings. The frequency of your Light depends upon your consciousness. When you shift the level of your consciousness, you shift the frequency of your Light. If you choose to forgive someone who has wronged you, for example, rather than to hate that person, you shift the frequency of your Light. If you choose to feel affection, or kinship, with a person rather than distance or coldness, you shift the frequency of your Light. Emotions are currents of energy with different frequencies. Emotions that we think of as negative, such as hatred, envy, disdain and fear have a lower frequency, and less energy, than emotions that we think of as positive, such as affection, joy, love, and compassion. When you choose to replace a lower-frequency current of energy, such as anger, with a higher frequency current, such as forgiveness, you raise the frequency of your Light. When you choose to allow higher-frequency currents of energy to run through your system, you experience more energy. When a person is despairing, for example, or anxious, he or she feels physically depleted because he or she has merged with an energy current of low frequency. A person in this situation becomes heavy and dull, whereas a joyous person abounds with energy, and feels buoyant, because he or she is running a higher-frequency current of energy through his or her system. Different thoughts create different emotions. Thoughts of vengeance, violence, and greed, or thoughts of using others, for example, create emotions such as anger, hatred, jealousy, and fear. These are low-frequency currents of energy, and therefore, they lower the frequency of your Light, or consciousness. Creative or loving or caring thoughts invoke high-frequency emotions, such as appreciation, forgiveness and joy, and raise the frequency of your system. If your thoughts are thoughts that draw low-frequency energy currents to you, your physical and emotional attitudes will deteriorate, and emotional or physical disease will follow, whereas thoughts that draw high-frequency energy currents to you create physical and emotional health. Lower-frequency systems pull energy from higher-frequency systems. If you are unaware of your emotions and your thoughts, your frequency will be lowered by – you will lose energy to – a system of lower frequency than your own. We say, for example, that a depressed person is “draining”, or that he or she “sucks up energy.” A system of sufficiently high frequency will soothe, or calm, or refresh you because of the effect of the quality of its Light upon your system. Such a system is “radiant.” By choosing your thoughts, and by selecting which emotional currents you will release and which you will reinforce, you determine the quality of your Light. You determine the effects that you will have upon others, and the nature of the experiences of your life. Excerpt from The Seat Of The Soul – Gary Zukav / / As Jesus said: “Forgive, before you enter the Temple”. The temple is the body in which a part of your soul – the personality lives – and to forgive all you feel was wronged against you is to forgive not only others but first and foremost forgiving yourself for allowing yourself to take on misinterpreted emotions. By forgiving you do not carry animosity throughout your life creating more troubled emotions for not only yourself but also for others.

JANUARY 2009 FEATURED IN C.O.R.E group AND Unconventional Artistry GROUP BEST VIEWED LARGE I have also hand painted this in oils on stretched canvas 3’x 4’ that you can view here Tibetan Chant for Enlightened Mind The word Christ in Eastern terminology means the enlightened one, a vehicle of enlightenment it was not actually a part of the name of the man, that was called Jesus Christ. He was called Jesus Christ as he was Jesus, the man, who was enlightened and as such understood the energies, and therefore the process of life, in this world which is what sayings such as: “As you sow so shall you reap” and “As you give so shall you receive” and other such explanations referred to…the physics of the energies of this world. Enlightened, enlightenment basically means the understanding, the conscious awareness, of just being and living from the higher sense of the knowledge of self, the Higher Spirit which is directly linked to the Soul, the divine God essence of All, that is above the egocentric mind-set which creates animosities when emotions run high and reactions occur to the action of not thinking what is going through one’s mind…reacting in anger to a situation that has made you feel wronged or whatever instead of seeing the emotion for what it is…a bad feeling that urges you on to create a drama in your life. Such unconscious awareness is a form of mental dysfunction (mental illness) and causes reactions such as segregation, wars, killing, jealousies, envies etc and pits nation against nation. It’s also the cause of the many problems, both past and present, that creates suffering. © C J Lewis, Sydney, 2008. / MCN:C09C5-FFD05-4D484 Below is the photograph of a tree trunk that I looked within to create this art work.

JULY 2009 FEATURED IN The Patchwork group British artist Luke Jerram was inspired by the idea to place pianos in 30 areas of Sydney during the 2009 Sydney Festival … to get people who live in the areas to communicate through music … this is one of those pianos with a neighbour’s daughter playing it. Luke also wears my t-shirt design shown here. The pianos were also installed on the streets of London during festival time June/July 2009 and in Bristol, UK in September 2009. Check out other amazing art installations Luke has done on his website and while there have a look at the gifts he has made for family & friends especially the amazing ring he made to propose to his wife that has the proposal inscribed on the ring itself and which by using a tiny player somewhat like a phonogram asks the question of marriage – very unique.

Please Contact Me MARCH 2009 FEATURED IN* Music Inspired Art (M.I.A) group / MCN:CAE41-AD8C7-41583 INXS / INXS Copyright Since the theme of the exhibition is Now Here’s My Darkside I did this as my explanation of the saying in the Bible: As within, so without. I believe, everything that happens in this world is a reflection of our inner thoughts, the path our mind takes which we react to…so if we don’t learn to control the ego mind and allow it to take control over our better reasoning by the use of evil thoughts then they are reflected to the without…the world in which we live, therefore making the evils of this world surface. And vice a versa…with good thoughts. I believe we all control this world and its outcome by what we allow to reflect from the within to the without. C J Lewis, Sydney 2009
