A story about a story within a story ...

If you have ever written even just one single poem in your entire life, you need to watch this video! 

Thoroughly bored with the recent offerings from Hollywood, and whilst looking around for some stimulating entertainment, I discovered Japanese anime. Anime is a fantastic medium for story telling without limits. Perfect for all things Sanctuary!

Today, 16th September 2021, I posted the story of Lila, a new Sanctuary friend, to Modern Energy Art site. As Lila is so very Sanctuary, I decided to send out notifications to the certified SuperMind Masters around the world as they would "get it" - and the computer said ...

A dream in graphic novel style which got a very cool evolution and became a Star Matrix Star Dream.

A story sparked by a Modern Energy Art-efact, the Alien Opal.

Energy Poem "The Waves" and the perfect illustration.

Isaac Lim writes: I am taking my Supermind course and we ask our energy mind to take us the perfect place where we will enter our energy habitat and to our house. It is a fantasy world made more real by bringing it into the hard by saying it aloud, writing, drawing it out. I decided to do all three. Here is my painting of a bay I found myself on and a journey leading to my house. It was a treehouse, not a house built on a tree but build into it!

I've just invented a really fun game to play with the dear Energy Mind - the Game of Books! I wrote the original instructions for the Modern Energy Art Students, so they can make a digital book cover as an exercise in how to have fun with MEA, but you can play the Game of Books in Sanctuary and then you don't need photoshop, or you can simply draw or paint or make a collage. Great game for kids, too!

A story about a spirit talker.

Far in the desert,
so it seems
there stands
the Pyramid of Dreams

The full title: On the trail of diamonds in the Valley of Wonder.

A central aspect to working with the Energy Symbols is to make one's own symbol set, out of materials that one feels drawn to, and to inscribe the symbols oneself according to the instructions.

This makes any Energy Symbol set unique to the owner, and of course, the owner can make as many different sets at any time they want, as the symbols are free from any object, but can be applied to any object.

Silvia Hartmann writes: I have to come out of that mysterious Art Solutions closet and admit that for me, a poem is not a poem unless it was prepared and delivered by the energy mind.

This is a short essay on the nature of poems and poetry from the Energist's perspective.

"Tell me a story," she said ...

Playing PS games, running stories and exploring habitats is a version of creativity that is structurally exactly the same as though you were writing a book, a play, a symphony, a song, a poem or a short story.

Whatever it is going to be in the end, at this time, it isn't here yet.

You're looking at an empty piece of paper, a blank slate.

Tell me of an art spell 

a well of love

in ancient times,

it made a river ...

All Project Sanctuary players are heartily invited to join our new group: Art 4 Energists on FaceBook.

Art Solutions and modern energist's art demands there should be some kind of vision at the core of it (no vision = no art!) and PS makes creativity reliable, makes visions achievable, makes creativity very literally child's play!

In 2007, an aspect of mine wrote a special HypnoDreams album - one that was not for other people, or for sale, but only for me. Based on the "voices in the night," it was absolutely designed to be a gift for a future self who might need to hear these words, to calm her and inspire her, help her through the night. And it has, on many, many occasions and remains one of my favourite "poem collections" to date ... Full texts of all the "poems" and the song on this poetry album.

This collection of poetry contains some of my personal favourite poems of all times - Steel Lord obviously, my ode to Lord Lucian; but there are also some other poems that I've always particularly loved, such as Mission, The Alien Hunter, and Unicorn Union which gives the collection its title.

One day I'll find an open mike poetry night somewhere and read Unicorn Union out aloud ...

A man came to me and said he wanted to learn of Sanctuary.

"It sounds interesting," he said. "It's just imagination, right?"

I laughed. "Just? What do you think imagination is?"

Whilst working on a catalogue of paintings, in which I have added as a detail if there is a poem or a story to go with the painting, I came across the German poem Zaubervogel.

I was going to add it to the catalogue as was, but then decided to translate the German poem into English. As I'm the author, and therefore know "what I was trying to say" (!) this was easy and interesting too.

Here is the original German poem Der Zaubervogel and my translation, the Magic Bird. Oh, and the painting. Of course ... :-)

Ah ... Genius Symbols are everywhere!

Here are some fun images of TGS in places where you might have seen them before ... in pivotal places, and pivotal moments of human history ...
