I have carried with me to this day that feeling of deep

 　　On a cold, dark, overcast day thirty years ago, a ray of warm thand light shown into my world from a most unexpected 1000W Stadium flood light 15 degree source-theeye of a giant Humpback whale. In my young twenties and alreadyold with disillusionment at the state of the world, I was trying to escape my despair by spending an afternoon at sea on a small boat. Without much hope of success, I had been asking who evermight be listening for a sign of something worth living for,some indication that there was light at the end of the tunnel of this struggle of a life I had been enduring. 

That afternoon, myprayers were answered by none less than the largest livingcreature on the face of the earth.Eye to Eye with a WhaleLying despondent on the deck of the boat, disappearing into mymental malaise, I suddenly found myself staring into the eye ofa being the size of a large office building. My gaze was lockedinto the penetrating gaze of this mammoth animal who hadsurfaced from the depths just enough to peer over the bow of myboat right into my face. Our eyes were only three feet apart.There was no distance between our hearts. Our souls were alreadyone. I immediately dissolved into the depths of this being'sessence… a vast inner sea of spacious emptiness, allowinganything and everything, embracing all that I was and so muchmore than I was even aware of then. My mind went silent. Myinner turmoil disappeared. I entered into a sanctuary ofprofound, gentle union with my own self in the form of a hugeocean creature.Heart to HeartIn a very real sense, I have never left that sanctuary. 

I have carried with me to this day that feeling of deep, completeacceptance that I received from the whale. That taste of my truenatural state has inspired me ever since to search for ways toincorporate that knowing into every aspect of my life and being.Our Kindred Spirits of the SeaThe welcoming embrace of the whale for me that afternoon was notan isolated incident More and more often in the last twentyyears around the world, whales and dolphins have been initiatingcontact with humans. As dolphin research expert, Timothy Wyllie,points out, "There's an awful lot of water out there… thedolphins and whales don't have to interact with us if they don'twant to."My dramatic experience of wholeness and expanded awareness beingwith the whale was also not uncommon.

It is no longer such a deep color

  　　I was recently asked a great question about how to diffuse an on camera flash. This is an important concept to understand - not just how, but why! Today's photo tip will explain diffusion and how to create and use it. Here is the question I was asked…"When using flash inside a room with low ceiling and white walls I understand how to use the flash to get soft light. But if the ceiling and walls are not white, how do you soften the light with out off camera flash."This is a great question because it brings out several issues!First - By off camera flash, he is referring to studio lighting or being able to take the actual flash off the camera. But what if you don't have any studio lights and your flash either won't come off the camera, or it will, but you don't have the necessary cords etc., to use it?Second - Why would you want to soften the light in the first place, and what do we even mean by softening the light?Third - How does the color of th...

This divine precept of man's divinity is shun by the followers of orthodox

 　　I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)Or in other words,"I AM the true model and I represent the true way of attaining that Divine State 5050 led module for street light of Sonship. Become as 'I AM.'"This possibility is the essence of the gospel--this is the good news--this is the kingdom come--this is the Resurrection--this is the Second Coming. This is the promised Kingdom of God that is at hand and not located in some astral realm or to be entered into in the afterlife or during the Apocalypse in the last days. It is NOW that the kingdom of God is to be attained by one and all--no matter what your religious affiliation. May all heed this and live a purposeful life.Man's DivinityMan's true nature and reality was a hushed subject that the Christ Initiate taught to the inner circle of his followers. Some of his statements concerning man are to be found in the gospels. His enigmatic say...
