there is no truth at all. If there is no truth, no one is right and no one is wrong, we simply are. With that idea in mind, it does not matter what you believe, it is what you do with it. Your belief is your path, it can change and adapt in many ways all leading you to experience. Those experiences make you who you are. An individual. How you use those experiences and what you learn from them is possibly the only true meaning that can be found. All beliefs can exist in harmony if the actions of the individuals respect the boundaries and limitations of the beliefs of others. No matter what you believe, it is what you do with it that makes you who you are. The culmination of all beliefs is what make us what we are. So before entering a debate with someone about what is true or not, ask yourself if you are simply trying to replace someone else’s perceived order within chaos with your own perceived order within chaos? Learn Practical Reiki M ost artists' challenge is to create a visual representation of things we can all see. J:D Aricchi takes the unseen and turns it visible, making it come alive in chalk, possessing an energy that can be felt if not easily described. J:D is an artistic channel. Often referred to as spirit art, etherealism is more than a style of painting. "I open a window for people to see what they normally don't," J:D says. "It's an opportunity for them to look into themselves in a way they are not accustomed to." J:D works primarily in chalk pastels and charcoal on pastel board or paper, and occasionally in acrylics. , J:D is different from many other spirit artists. He does a general interpretation work (similar to a reading) but, emphasizes the use of the Spirit Drawing as a tool to work with. "The purpose of my work is not for me to tell people who they are, it's to show them. The purpose is for them to see a part of themselves that they normally wouldn't consider. For me to tell someone who or what they are defeats the purpose of them looking within. It's important for them to grow through the process." Often a painting grows with the recipient -- the same image that may have one meaning initially can come to mean something very different as the person develops deeper understanding about themselves.
