I love creating non-traditional humanoid like faces using any medium I can.  The more faces the merrier.  You see my work is a glimpse into my world, ever since I have walked the earth I see humanoid faces in everything.  In the sky, on buildings, in plants, in earth and stone, in everyday things, quite literally in everything.  I have come to the understanding that all matter is merely consciousness being expressed.

So every aspect of our universe and reality has some level of self awareness and contributes it aspects to everything which perceives it.  So I guess I have the ability to see within the fine folds of the dimensional values and see the inner personality of any aspect of creation expressing itself for all to see.

Or more likely is that I choose to see and experience my reality with a familiar touch, a humanoid face, so that I may navigate my existence in a way which I innately relate, through humanoid faces and their expressions.

Also this work must definitely be viewed in fullscreen mode whenever possible, since many times you will find a multitude of faces in each individual work.

So floss your brain, and expand your perceptions while having fun playing with my many friends I have created for you to experience.

Seven Mays

A kaleidoscopic fractal motion graphics translated energies work.

This visual translation began 21 February 2013 at 1:11 PM and was completed on 05 March 2013 at 2:22 AM.

Seven Mays is a kaleidoscopic fractal motion graphic translation of unfolding energy transmissions of ever more pure and undistorted energy swells to aid in humanities ascension. This work contains 3889 individual frames comprising 2 minute 57 seconds of 1080p HD video at 22 frames per second set to unique audio created and arranged by myself using http://musicshake.com.

This work adheres to Free Cultural Works guidelines and licensing.

Seven Mays, motion graphics, individual frames are available in a 1920×1080 jpeg’s for viewing, remixing and to download. I have observed that each individual frame is just as amazing to view as the completed motion graphic. Remember. the animation displays 22 individual frames every second, so taking a moment to view each frame as it unfolds a whole new perspective hidden in plain view within this motion graphic translation.
As with all of my work, it is a reflection and my personal validation of expanding consciousness I hold within. You could say that my blog is my proof of concept research, and I in all ways visualize my experience through visual art. Out of the over 440 articles shared within our network of light and collected in the roughly two week period it took to create, render and process this work as a whole, I have selected the following article as a synopsis for this work. It is also a reflection of the guidance offered during this period. I will never tell you what to think, feel or be. But my little part is collecting and translating my own personal ascension (or evolution) and contribute my perspective to the rest of our world and omniverse.

If you are the inquisitive type I encourage you to reference my work by dates, and cross reference my blog by publish dates http://dimensionalbliss.com.

I am sure along with your own unique perspectives you will unfold perceptively what your are seeking to validate within yourself.

Within the one I am, like attracts like, in omnipresent synchronicity and unified harmony of potential possibility, at least for me, is now undeniable and verified.

Eclipses of 2013 help us Access the Spaces between Dimensions

SOURCE: http://sethto.us/krt

We are in a time of endings and beginnings ushered by a series of eclipses designed to help us gain traction in any stuck areas and take significant steps on our chosen path. The eclipses of 2013 kicked off with the April 25th Scorpio lunar eclipse and will continue this month with the May 9 Taurus solar eclipse and the May 24 Sagittarius lunar eclipse.

Key Eclipse Issues are Abundance and Personal Power

Key issues emphasized in this time center on abundance and personal power. These eclipses ask us to examine our beliefs around these core issues. If we are invested in thought viruses based on lack and scarcity in any way, this will come to the forefront during this time. Issues that may arise encompass a broad spectrum of topics, all of which share the core issue of scarcity. These issues include relationships, health, resources, spiritual insights, inspiration, creativity and much more.

If there is any area of pain, conflict or struggle in one’s life, it can likely be traced back to thought forms along these lines: “I don’t have enough,” “options are limited,” or “I am small and limited.” These are indicators that old programming is still in place around issues of abundance and scarcity. If we keep following the thread of a scarcity thought form, it eventually translates into thoughts such as “I’m not enough,” “I am nothing,” or “I am unloved.”

Love and Gratitude are Antidotes to the Scarcity Thought Virus

We can counteract these thought forms with “I am love,” “I love myself unconditionally,” “I am a wise and empowered being with access to the vast resources of the universe.” Meditate on love whenever these feelings arise. To get in touch with feelings of unconditional love, hold before you the image of someone or something that evokes this unconditional feeling within you. Once you connect strongly with this feeling for a loved one, practice extending it to yourself and all others.

Gratitude can also help break the spell of a thought virus. As you meditate, bring your focus to everything you’re grateful for. Keep expanding the list of things you’re grateful for by finding the silver lining in every situation in your life, both past and present. Unconditional love and gratitude are the two best antidotes to the scarcity thought virus.

The April 25 Lunar Eclipse

The April 25th lunar eclipse occurred at 5° Scorpio and its effects are still being experienced by many. The effects of some eclipses can be felt three months or more prior to an eclipse and for up to a year afterward.

A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the earth moves exactly between the sun and moon, effectively short-circuiting their natural connection. The period of a lunar eclipse is a good time to change destructive emotional patterns. This can be anything from toxic relationships to addictions to sacred wounds we’ve carried with us since childhood.

The energies of a lunar eclipse have a way of magnifying any unresolved emotional issues so we can shine the light of our present-moment awareness on them. Our spiritual communion and insights are intensified during a full moon and even more so during a lunar eclipse, heightening our powers of spiritual perception. Combined, these allow us to heal and release emotional energy held in past traumas.

Our Astrology Chart Depicts the Personal Impact of an Eclipse

Everyone feels the effects of an eclipse differently. The type of impact and its intensity and duration depends on where an eclipse falls in a person’s astrology chart. If an eclipse falls within 3° of a planet or an important point in your chart by conjunction or opposition, it is of special significance to you. The nature of the planet impacted by the eclipse offers clues to the experiences that lie ahead.

For example, in the case of the April 25th lunar eclipse, if you have a planet at 5° Scorpio or within 3° of it, or you have a planet in Taurus which opposes Scorpio within orb of 5°, you will feel the effects of the eclipse more intensely.

Scorpio delves into intense passions, secrets and desires. It is also important to consider what house 5° Scorpio falls in for you. If, for example, 5 degrees Scorpio falls in your 11th house, the upcoming experiences will center on the major themes of the 11th house – friends, social groups, long terms hopes, wishes, ideals and creative goals.

The May 9 Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse takes place during the new moon when the moon blocks the sun’s energies as it passes directly between the sun and earth. During the month of a solar eclipse, you will likely start noticing the energies of an upcoming eclipse right after the previous new moon and full moon. We are already feeling the energies of the May 9 solar eclipse.

Entering the Space between Dimensions

This solar eclipse falls at 19° Taurus and sits in the doorway of a powerful spiritual portal at Orion’s Belt, which leads to the Great Central Sun. Many will experience an upsurge in spiritual abilities and visions during this time. Those who have planets within 3° of 19° Taurus will feel this most profoundly. For those most powerfully impacted, it may seem that vortexes into universal knowledge spontaneously open for glimpses into spiritual realms. It is possible at such times to feel oneself standing in the spaces between dimensions. Learning to move seamlessly between dimensions allows us to become more effective at bridging consciousness into the new time.

Lucid dreams are more likely to happen when one is under the powerful influence of a solar eclipse. To make the most of this time, set your intentions to embrace whatever comes up during this time and make time to meditate the day of the eclipse. Creating an eclipse ritual for yourself can help you focus the energy for a breakthrough. It is easier during this time to shift to higher-vibrational timelines. This eclipse series will assist many in finding firmer footing in the new time.

Remain Calm during May’s Wild Ride

Due to the eclipse energies, this month is likely to be a time when deeper truths surface and emotions run high. It will be difficult to remain objective as emotional wounds and any issues around which we hold strong emotional energy come front and center. Events in our day to day lives can trigger unhealed emotions that suddenly rise to the surface with power and force. It will help during this time to remain calm and trust that whatever is happening is according to divine plan. These energies by design are helping us gain traction in stuck areas and grow in our spiritual understandings. It should be noted that this is not the time to make life-changing decisions as things may appear different on the other side of the eclipses.

Eclipses are major turning points at both the collective and individual levels. The sign of an eclipse offers clues as to the themes that are due for a change. At the personal level, the planets and houses impacted by an eclipse offer insights into the trans-formative changes that beacon to us on the road ahead.

A Dedication to Erika’s Journey:

Been some time now. Things have changed but I’m still on top of my game. I’m not dead because no devil would want me and the gods may think I still need some more learning. Fine. Slowly I rekindled my love for the blues. Hard to feel anything without the blues, you know. True love is a string moaning under a fingertip. Where in the five hundred chunks of Amerika are you now?

I’m pretty indifferent to it now. I’ve seen it all, and I know how to test myself. The ultimate test is the vicious dog walking down the street right now. I can walk up to him and his eyes would tell me that he likes me, even if he instinctively chomps a piece out of me, he still likes me. You worry about the high double-mattress bed, the red carpet, the television hooked to the wall with a modern day tribesman’s nose ring, the sun’s rays illuminating the view through the open screen door, the table with the lamp and the notepad, the equalized bathroom shot, the wallpaper giving off the marble impression, the way the water is rerouted to jive hot and cold through the pipes. Who the fuck did all this to your head? “That’s when fate brought you into my life” is a line you can give the ones who are drained of energy, need, life and perpetual motion. I don’t have much time, you know. Half the year is gone and it’s going to be exactly a few years in September. Remember that night when you escorted me to the hotel room, looked around to make sure things would be alright for me, and eyed the swimming pool with a bit of nostalgia? I’ve got news for you: the water was hard and cold that night, but I slept in it and dreamed of you. The smog was suffocating me but I lit the cigarette anyhow. It rained spoons that night. I was naked in the pool, wishing for a human to come by and scorn me at the smallest hour of the morning. The chemical plant across from the hotel’s parking lot loomed like the devil in a purple shawl over the whole scene, but I slept and dreamed of you and the roses that were always met by your approval but never lived beyond the thought. The petals in the bucket and the towel around you. Lost in Amerika but there’ll always be enough money for the 1800 miles to come. I knew I’d go back home, but I thought I would stop in New York for a while. I smelled it on you when you were sleeping and I slithered under the garment to soak your tired aroma like a sponge absorbing a lemon’s toxic heart. I imagined that the scent was your pain and my lungs were sucking it in. I wanted your pain in addition to mine. In the end I chickened out and stopped at that. Didn’t dare touch you. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had. Would you have gone to the bathroom and soaked in the water and drugs? Would you have craned your neck and uttered some analytical rubbish acquired from medical trade paperbacks? Would you have moaned and curled every muscle with pleasure? I’ll never know. One day I will see you staring into the margarita glass and I’ll have a hint, but I’ll never know for sure. I never stopped in New York. Knoxville and the incident under the birch made me break the speed limits of four states and one province. At the border they saw all the dirt on the car and tried to add four hours of misery to my life, but I just sat at a table across from a coin machine, with clouds of smoke over my head, and slept like a baby. Dreamed of you and the cold water. When I was back behind the wheel, at a safe distane from those unionized asses and the noisy falls, I looked around and saw the stain you left on the passenger seat, the dog’s poils all over the dashboard. My face was wet, and no cold water here. I pushed a button and Patsy Cline, from beyond the grave, worked for the money she once earned.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and am closely following events that are taking place on Earth.

SaLuSa of Sirius

SaLuSa of Sirius made an actual introduction visually today through a new fractal sequence I was processing into a kaleidoscopic animation sequence.  On frame number one contact was made.  Greetings ensued, what a pleasure to know formally meet visually through my sense of sight after over a decade of guidance.  I must have needed the validation right now, seeing your minds eye on paper so accurately translated sure does the trick.  And of course I am ready to work with your assigned projects to be done with collaboration between the Galactic Federation and Earthlings.

Step one, become so dysfunctional as to love eating nothing less than poison and calling it good nutrition and taking medication manufacture from oil.  To walk the dysfunctional path we have collectively agreed to be truth.

I took on some dense energies, but by having lived the life of dysfunctional human,  I  one day quickly woke up to a whole bunch of new solid truth that now I could see clear as day, no, I am not insane, but what we consider to be acts of love are actually acts of fear.  We have engineered fear, failure and lack into almost all of our systems.  Well I am a fear released Earthling seeing more and creating more than I have ever dreamed possible.  I am a walking miracle already after just the release of fear from my heart, body and mind.  Given the literal hell I lived in for half my life my ability to for go psychosis is a place for a large part of my life that I believed would never change.

After a couple decades of real hard compassion, love and by gratitude and grace I experience life now in so much more fuller ways, I do still have my personality defects like having no grey area, only no thing or every thing – no balance in my views.  My own personal rigidity which only I am observing no longer serving me and my highest potential possibilities I have to experience.  So I am in, I am ready to receive my project assignment and meet up with my fellow project members.  BTW: This is my response, I am replying to your request – YES!

In JoY!

Darren Walker Gratitude Reflected

This piece is the gratitude for the many, many in depth e-mail received from Darren Walker.  Each of well over 30 e-mail contained links, knowledge referrals, videos all drawing together a higher degree and now influence on and within my work.  Each e-mail took hours, even days to fully digest and it’s impact on my visual work is still a work in progress.  I also enjoyed some validation on concepts and visionary experiences I have had being intermingled within the e-mails.  Again this work is a reflection in gratitude to Darren Walker for reaching out and sharing.  Thank You.  In Joy!

P.s.

I actually created this work back in June, I lost track of it in my organic filing system, fill my desktop up with files and folders (not named or in projects) then each month put it in a folder and name ‘File in Month’ so more than not I find incomplete work in the archives.  I did do the soundtrack this month all by myself.  Apologies for not having all my source files and settings included with this work.  This work is more about gratitude being reflected back to D.W.

6-8 SYMBOLOGY

Exploring sine waves and how they may build in the frequency void while a dimension ascends or descends and the conscious aspects of either adjoining dimension come into a new understanding of the what lies beyond as it’s energetic harmonics are integrated into a new collective reality.
This view at energy waves at quantum levels also shows the inherent nature these waves can replicate aspects of our large reality we now consider 3D transiting 4D to expand the harmonic complexity of the matrix of what is termed dark energy (love of one) and light quotient  (light=information) required for a physical 5D Earth to be created as well as inhabited by an evolved biology of kingdoms (mineral, water, air (lighter water), plant, insect, sea animals, land animals, air animals, humans) based on a crystalline like DNA.
The new 5D Earth will be an interesting place as I show in many of my animated visuals unification or awareness that we are intimately connected to all things in and out of us, it has consequences once explored beyond a fleeting thought, especially when brought and allowed to be known from deep within my heart.
It took a long time, allot of pain to let go out of my heart, I stored it there just as deeply as the ones who had hurt me, it guided my every move and most of all it hid my real self from view.  But I had to do something, the hell I was living was too much for any conscious being to half to endure, I tried every method available your typical American society individual.

Well some where in all of that I came across a book “E.T. 101: The Cosmic Instruction Manual for Planetary Evolution” I don’t know it spoke to me, in way that made complete and total sense.

How does Seth license his work and why is he changing?

For several years now I have licensed my visual work under the Creative Commons – Non-Commercial – Share-Alike license 3.0.  I did this because I only really wanted to ensure that at some point we would build a system where attribution to derivative works that I may use, but also let others they may use it as well.  I do not create visual work for financial gain, creating, challenging and evolving my artistic expression is closely held with the evolution of my perception and shifting views of my reality. Creating visually is my life’s passion and brings a sense of completeness and wholeness within my self that I wish to share the vision from my personal perspective and life’s journey to say here is my contribution to our world, so that others may find and use my work.  I do have a very hard time assigning value by any means to my work, to me it is priceless.  The license I have been using, I am now going to alter for all future works using the Free Cultural Works framework to not only publish my work including the files used to compose the visual work, It has renewed my use in Open-Source Free Distributed software to create in and the biggest change is I will now use a Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0.

The hardest point to make this change for me was actually removing the ‘Non-Commercial’ part of the license.  Previously I had considered an attitude if they make money, I make money.  After coming across the Free Cultural Works framework, I came to know a new perspective which in truth inspired me to change.  My ‘Non-Commercial’ use had banned my work from being used in free markets, so if a business chooses to use my visual work, this will spread my ideas to more people, and also when more people have a chance to see it takes on the ability to have more and more derivative works created.  My highest goals being a Visual Artist is introducing work in which I introduce new ways of interpreting and seeing our unfolding view of our world and it’s systems.  From the Quantum Level to the Cosmos level and all in between.  More importantly it is focusing with demonstrating how my spiritual beliefs shape and do affect all other parts of our world. And in turn be and do my little part to create a shift so our worlds governments and systems may utilize our emerging visions and technologies to create a unified world working in harmony a creating equality and new standard of living which will instill an eco-friendly approach which only uses resources at a rate and contaminates at a rate which can be naturally recovered within the natural functions of our planet.

I would like to see the restoration of human rights equally to all humans in all countries.  My highest vision would be seeing a world where Access to Food, Clean Potable Water, Shelter, Healthcare and either technical or advanced degrees being accessible to every human being.  This foundation would require us to each challenge our perceptions of our world, to see our united humanness and know that each of our countries unique culture, spirituality and people add to an overall rich human fabric and when we each rise above our differences and come to sustainable agreements enabling each country what they need to develop and create these standard for themselves and through open and fair trade vigorously held with integrity, not for gain, but because it is the right thing to do for our world and fellow humans.

Look at what humanity has accomplished in the last 500 years since open sharing and spreading of the freedom to be able to create change as individuals increased.  We have had one radical age after another at rates which use to take 300 years occurring in 100.  As more humans where able to contribute so did our systems and technology increase, I see tremendous value in shifting from our debt based systems, which assume a constant state of loss and really are designed to be in fear that a loss will occur may be misguided.  Our history is a reference point, imagine billions of humans living not in fears of being able to survive, but these where insured and priorities to maintain, end every available resource was aimed at giving each human access to learn and develop their own way of contributing to our worlds richness and vastness.  We would stop assigning monetary value to what is priceless in ensuring that our problems are solved equitably, with blazing speed and respect for our differences is only the point at which we honor that we are one species with one home, and where we meet in our difference we each rise above shift agree and still maintain our integrity of our commitment to my new human standard with adding these things and investing in these aspects which then give true human equality.

So committing myself to my new license framework I am doing my part to illustrate and show what is possible when we shift, challenge, rise above, unite and create a world of sustained equality for every human.

Thank you and I look forward to the use of my work once it’s published,

P.S.

I am also now going to machine license my work and the license will be embedded into my work files, and the files unique identifier will be verifiable through the link embedded in the file.

Creating Free Cultural Works

Preamble

Social and technological advances make it possible for a growing part of humanity to access, create, modify, publish and distribute various kinds of works – artworks, scientific and educational materials, software, articles – in short: anything that can be represented in digital form. Many communities have formed to exercise those new possibilities and create a wealth of collectively re-usable works.

Most authors, whatever their field of activity, whatever their amateur or professional status, have a genuine interest in favoring an ecosystem where works can be spread, re-used and derived in creative ways. The easier it is to re-use and derive works, the richer our cultures become.

Defining Free Culture Licenses

Licenses are legal instruments through which the owner of certain legal rights may transfer these rights to third parties. Free Culture Licenses do not take any rights away — they are always optional to accept, and if accepted, they grant freedoms which copyright law alone does not provide. When accepted, they never limit or reduce existing exemptions in copyright laws.

Essential freedoms

In order to be recognized as “free” under this definition, a license must grant the following freedoms without limitation:

• The freedom to use and perform the work: The licensee must be allowed to make any use, private or public, of the work. For kinds of works where it is relevant, this freedom should include all derived uses (“related rights”) such as performing or interpreting the work. There must be no exception regarding, for example, political or religious considerations.
• The freedom to study the work and apply the information: The licensee must be allowed to examine the work and to use the knowledge gained from the work in any way. The license may not, for example, restrict “reverse engineering”.
• The freedom to redistribute copies: Copies may be sold, swapped or given away for free, as part of a larger work, a collection, or independently. There must be no limit on the amount of information that can be copied. There must also not be any limit on who can copy the information or on where the information can be copied.
• The freedom to distribute derivative works: In order to give everyone the ability to improve upon a work, the license must not limit the freedom to distribute a modified version (or, for physical works, a work somehow derived from the original), regardless of the intent and purpose of such modifications. However, some restrictions may be applied to protect these essential freedoms or the attribution of authors (see below).

Permissible restrictions

Not all restrictions on the use or distribution of works impede essential freedoms. In particular, requirements for attribution, for symmetric collaboration (i.e., “copyleft”), and for the protection of essential freedom are considered permissible restrictions.

Defining Free Cultural Works

In order to be considered free, a work must be covered by a Free Culture License, or its legal status must provide the same essential freedoms enumerated above. It is not, however, a sufficient condition. Indeed, a specific work may be non-free in other ways that restrict the essential freedoms. These are the additional conditions in order for a work to be considered free:

• Availability of source data: Where a final work has been obtained through the compilation or processing of a source file or multiple source files, all underlying source data should be available alongside the work itself under the same conditions. This can be the score of a musical composition, the models used in a 3D scene, the data of a scientific publication, the source code of a computer application, or any other such information.
• Use of a free format: For digital files, the format in which the work is made available should not be protected by patents, unless a world-wide, unlimited and irrevocable royalty-free grant is given to make use of the patented technology. While non-free formats may sometimes be used for practical reasons, a free format copy must be available for the work to be considered free.
• No technical restrictions: The work must be available in a form where no technical measures are used to limit the freedoms enumerated above.
• No other restrictions or limitations: The work itself must not be covered by legal restrictions (patents, contracts, etc.) or limitations (such as privacy rights) which would impede the freedoms enumerated above. A work may make use of existing legal exemptions to copyright (in order to cite copyrighted works), though only the portions of it which are unambiguously free constitute a free work.

In other words, whenever the user of a work cannot legally or practically exercise his or her basic freedoms, the work cannot be considered and should not be called “free.”

To ensure the graceful functioning of this ecosystem, works of authorship should be free, and by freedom we mean:

• the freedom to use the work and enjoy the benefits of using it
• the freedom to study the work and to apply knowledge acquired from it
• the freedom to make and redistribute copies, in whole or in part, of the information or expression
• the freedom to make changes and improvements, and to distribute derivative works

If authors do not take action, their works are covered by existing copyright laws, which severely limit what others can and cannot do. Authors can make their works free by choosing among a number of legal documents known as licenses. For an author, choosing to put their work under a free license does not mean that they lose all their rights, but it gives to anyone the freedoms listed above.

It is important that any work that claims to be free provides, practically and without any risk, the aforementioned freedoms. This is why we hereafter give a precise definition of freedom for licenses and for works of authorship.
