“This is not the time to be passive. This is the time to shape, sculpt, paint, participate… the time to get sweaty, to get dirty, to fall in love, to forgive, to forget, to hug, to kiss… this is the time to experience, participate and live your life as a verb.” ~ Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience Posted on February 20, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Kelsey Alexandra
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” ~Anaïs Nin Posted on February 19, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment
Happy New Moon! “This Aquarius/Pisces energy combines our Collective Mind and Heart, helping us slip into Pisces’ unified field of Love and Compassion. Neptune, Chiron, Venus and Mars are also in Pisces, opening the veils between multiple realms of consciousness. We need a strong sense of our Soul to contain all these possibilities. If we are going to emerge into a new reality, it is a reality where we recognize we are all one; we are one with the Earth and all of Nature, we are one with the Cosmos and we are one with the Quantum Field of Light. We are Light beings, and we have to start living in that knowledge. Our psychological childhood is over. It’s time to take our place as adults, not only on the world stage but on the cosmic stage as well. We have to step into our wholeness to achieve our life’s purpose. The world needs us. And our souls long to live out our destiny. The ideals and ideas of our future world depend on each of us holding the vision, opening to Earth’s wisdom and being courageous enough to act.” ~Cathy Lynn Pagano Posted on February 18, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Moon Leave a comment

“To discover our autonomy is the most challenging thing a human being can do. Because in order to discover our autonomy, we must be free from all external control or influence. This means that we must free our mind from all that it has collected, all that it clings to, all that it depends on. This begins by realizing that we are in a psychological prison created by our minds. Until we begin to realize how confined we are, we will not be able to find our way out. Neither will we find our way out by struggling against the confines we have inherited from our parents, society, and culture. It is only by beginning to examine and realize the falseness within our minds that we begin to awaken an intelligence that originates from beyond the realm of thinking.” ~Adyashanti Posted on February 16, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment
