Happy change of Seasons, once again, Friends. May you find joy and peace in the cycle
of Mind (Northern Hemisphere) and Love (Southern Hemisphere) as we spin around a
celestial star, in this magnificent universe, at speeds that can only be imagined!
Mind applies its Law to what it understands. A Plane (a level, degree or standard) is a
state of existence. Mind must understand how it interacts with the two other planes,
which it is a part, in the Material World: the Physical, the Mental and the Spiritual-intuit.
It must also learn how to navigate, articulate and communicate with the inner realms
(activity of space) that pertain to them, so as to correspond properly. Mind must
understand these aspects of itself to exist optimally. It is not enough to BE just
collectively aware. Awareness is an aspect of understanding in the realms of Mind.
Understanding is Minds ultimate quest. It takes profound levels of understanding on the
Mental Plane to intuit whats unwitnessed by the cognitive nature of the physical
senses. It is the Spiritual-intuit plane that gives to the others-- sustainability.
Mind does not operate alone on the Mental Plane; nor does the Physical and the
Spiritual-intuitive Planes. The Mental, Physical and the Spiritual-Intuit Planes have
aspects that pertain to one anothers natural algorithms (waves of frequency). Each
plane has components that are designed solely to fulfill these duties. Without these
planes optimally operating together, there is no sustainable foundation for physical
manifestation to exist on the material plane, or for the Mind to unfold properly within
its realms or on its plane. All three planes and their realms must work together in a
state of Harmony to bring about Eternal Substance in the material world. Unification is
at the Point of Power.
Mind is in a constant state of re-assessing what it comes into contact with, moment
by moment. It compares the world with what it already believes it understands. Mind
collects, memorizes, correlates, dissimulates, discards, and compounds details based on
what it has defined or could possibly define as its Truth. Mind must first understand it
ultimately constitutes what its Truth governs. Minds internal triune nature is designed
to allow the influx of information to flow freely and Harmoniously on its own plane.
Awareness-- the Self-Conscious aspect of Mind, has encoded within its algorithm the
able intelligence to negate potential imprints (mental inertia), as they arise. Analogy
was the first thought and understanding was the last.
desperately seeks. The Eternal aspect of the Unmanifest, alone, cannot be materialized
on the Material Plane. Its laws constitute illusive form. Its form is the Force from where
all living things on this planet are born, thrive and create.
Mind is a wonderful aspect of the Whole Inspired Being. When Mind operates
perfectly and optimally, both within its realms and on its own plane, it becomes an
unstoppable inspirational Force for sustainable life.
Lightbearers from around the world sent in submissions on the theme of the art of
BE-ing in unison with Mind. The true art of Mind is experienced when one is inspired to
directly UNDERSTAND, on all planes, how we move through life.
May these offerings of paint, prose, song, photography, cuisine, story, discovery,
craft, dance or any form of living the Art of Being, inspire you. We would like to say a
special thank you to those who sent in their creative inspirations. If you would like to
contribute, please submit your share at info@scienceofbeing.com; in the emails subject
line write Art of Being. Enjoy! Next newsletter will be dedicated to the art of Truth.

Being aware in Life is always important - for safety as well as pleasure. When I lived next
to the ocean in Northern California I would go on lengthy walks with my Briard Sheepdog,
Nicole. Nicole was very smart and could intuit things I couldnt detect. I was determined
to try to tap into her intuition and become more aware. As an exercise, I would pick a
place to stop, center myself, sit quietly with eyes closed and listen and feel. I listened for
sounds (mostly for footsteps), and would open my eyes when I felt the sound within 10-20
feet of where I sat. With practice I became pretty good at hearing sounds I never
noticed before.
As an artist, I believe it is essential to be tuned into and aware of Life around me. It is
this awareness - what we see, hear, feel, and how we interpret this that brings forth
creative energy. A wonderful exercise is to take a sketchbook, pencil or pen, and take a
walk. As you walk, sketch what you see or feel. These sketches are not meant to be
detailed, although there isnt a rule about this. It is an exercise to develop awareness of
what we see and how it is translated by Mind.
Art is my meditation. I always begin a creative session by centering myself and
performing the Star Exercise, drawing Universal Life Energy into my body and mind. It is
an exhilarating and relaxing sensation. For the last 40 years I have used the following
exercise after doing the Star Exercise, and before going to sleep: I download the
activities of the day from my Heart, to my Mind, to a piece of paper. I do not consciously
guide my hand, nor have a preconceived idea as to what will happen. Opening up in this way
has increased my general awareness of Life, lowered my stress, and brought me much joy
as well as insight into my life.
I hope you will try some form of artistic expression to help open up to more awareness in
your Life.
In Love and Light, Elissa LB
Pictured above is an example of an altar for a desired intention around consciousness for
humanity. Each one of us plays a part in this ever expanding universe which we all coexisting together on. Some of the items that support conscious intentions on my humanity
altar are statues of Quan Yin (brings compassion) and Ganesh (remover of obstacles, offers
wisdom).
The Intention Symbol, front and center, is a picture of a heart. I use this picture to remind
me to keep my heart open even in the midst of experiences when I want to close my heart.
The Communication Bowl/Shell is in front of my intention symbol and this chalice holds my
desires with heartfelt words or a simple phrase. The words I used are, effervescent heart
level. These words evoke the highest vibration for a conscious heart. Also on the altar
there is a large crystal, a few flowers sprinkled around and a tea light holder with the
words gratitude. When I come from a place in my heart with gratitude, the ripple effect is
felt far and wide. After creating my altar, the magic will begin to appear as I focus on my
heartfelt desires.
Some simple meditation practice that I do: when you feel your heart begins to contract or
whenever you feel yourself shutting down, you may ask yourself, show me what I cannot
see. When you consciously ask this question with an inquiring open mind and heart, you
will be amazed at what is revealed. Another meditation question to ask is Where am I
placing blame instead of taking responsibility? Spend 5 to 10 minutes in a conscious
meditation and then journal what came up for you. The more conscious we all are with
ourselves and with our actions, thoughts, feelings and emotions, the more the ripple
affects humanity on so many levels. To live and be in harmony, all of us have a
responsibility, creating a world where we are conscious of self, conscious of love and being
true.
In my book, Altars Of Intentions there are altar examples, practices, igniting ceremonies,
In meditating on the definition of art, I come to see that art is an intentional creation conveying deep
emotion, imagination and perhaps one could say, the soul world or psyche of an individual. Through time
and practice, and by way of refining the skill, one can more precisely describe and animate that inner state
of being.
There are, I believe, some keys to more rapidly progressing in the attunement of our instruments. In so
doing we are able to experience and express a more refined and artful interaction with life. I do not claim
to know or practice all or even many, but a few I have gratefully and gradually become aware of. As I
utilize those keys more, I notice my life responding with synchronicities, energy, clarity of mind and
direction. One key, I know you are all aware of (because you are reading this newsletter) are the teachings
of Eugene Fersen - mainly for me, the star exercise and tapping into Universal Life Energy is key.
There is another key that is near and dear to my heart and life experience, that is the realm of food/bodyfuel/nourishment. Ive found, via being all over the spectrum of diet, that how we eat not only affects our
body type, but greatly influences our level of energy or lethargy, can greatly affect hormones and
therefore emotions. The foods and drinks we partake in can support or diminish our immune systems, as
well as promote or protect our bodies from dis-ease. Learning how to use food to promote harmony in our
bodies is an important tool and key in living artfully. The better we feel, and the more energy we have,
the more we are able to focus that energy on refining our life practices.
Mostly Plants - With Paleo, Ancestral or the Primal diet movements people are re-embracing meat in a
big way. I am not here to tell people not to eat meat, and I think for some people meat is very important.
We must know our individual needs. However, our ancestors did eat meat, but they also ate tons of wild
greens, herbs, seeds, barks and plant medicines. They ate more plant based foods than meat based foods.
Today for our health and the health of our planet and sister/brother animals it is important to maintain this
balance. Here again is a perfect place for the 80/20 rule. If you are eating meat then have 20% on your
plate be meat and 80% vegetables. The fresh living veggies will help to break down cooked proteins,
supporting your digestive system and your overall energy after a meal.
Green smoothies can be a great way to start the day, alkalizing your system, and giving you a nice big
dose of greens first thing in the morning. It is a refreshing snack and energy boost throughout the day as
well. May we all enjoy real food with gratitude, to fuel our body/mind/spirit matrix as the living art I
believe we are in creation and creating to be.
Always put the fruit in your blender first. If you have a regular household blender, put your fruit in the
blender and pour your water in until it just covers the fruit. Pulse your fruit until it is fully broken down.
Begin adding your greens and pulse those in until fully broken down.
If you own a high speed blender you can blend all ingredients together. Place your fruit in the blender
first, then your greens, then pour in water until it just covers your fruit. Blend until all ingredients are well
emulsified.
Additional Ingredients
You may enjoy adding any number of additional ingredients. This is a great way to start incorporating
some Superfoods for more energy, protein, minerals, essential fatty acids hormone balancing substances
and more like:
Hemp seeds, bee pollen, goji berries, spirulina, vitamineral greens, e3 live, chia seeds, or maca
powder.
Try adding some of these power packed supplements to boost your nutritional intake: Parsley, Cilantro,
Dandelion, Romaine, Celery, or Cucumber.
