The Sacrament of the Last Supper

The most famous modern interpretation of the Last Supper has to be that of Salvador Dali in his “The Sacrament of The Last Supper,” which hangs in the Chester Dale Collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C.

This is absolutely striking proof that this historic subject will never lose its appeal for the artist. In Spain, Dali painted it along classical lines. He depicted the whole scene as seemingly floating in space to suggest the highly spiritual nature of the event.

The dodecahedron, that twelve-sided figure that Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher said was the symbol of the universe seems to float above the table. Dali centered his theme upon “The Sacrament of the Last Supper” instead of merely “The Last Supper” as all the others painters seem to have done.

We indeed wonder if there will be more versions of this wonderful subject in the years to come. It is one of the most challenging scenes in the Bible, and I feel other modern painters in the future will again take up the challenge to render the spiritual side of this Biblical event.

The Secret of Mental Creation

Do you often day-dream? There comes a time when your dreams must be brought into the light of day if you are persistent, but do you put yourself into the category of one of the thousands whose thoughts never get beyond the stage of wistful thinking about what you want or what you want to do?

Do you often come out of a daydream thinking,  “If only I could make it real?” All things, all manifestations, begin with thought; it is what follows that thought that may lift you from the class of those who hope and dream, into those who can manifest what they want.

Thought energy, like anything else, can be dissipated, or it can be used to produce actual effects. If you know how to construct your thoughts, you can stimulate the creative processes within your mind and through them, you can assemble the conditions that you desire to make your life a happy one of accomplishment.

Mental creating does not depend upon any magical process. It consists of knowing how to marshal your thoughts into a powerful energy that draws and organizes your experiences into a worth-while design of living.

What tomorrow, next week, or the years ahead will bring to you in the way of success and material goods is largely up to youself.  Your mind is naturally creative. Through proper application of your thinking processes, you can, in your mind’s eye visualize a desired goal, and through such visualization actually bring this goal into manifestation.

Creatlve power like this is natural, and based on simple laws that can be utilized by everyone capable of thought. There is little cause today for the average man and woman to go through life a victim of circumstances, when this divine power lies inside everyone.

Remember that energy follows thought, so HOLD IN YOUR MIND AND YOUR THOUGHTS WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE. Never, but never think about what you DON’T want as that will surely outmanifest.

Listen to your Intuition

LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION

If you are prepared to put some time and effort into it, you will find that intuition is really quite a natural process that most people can access, but few rarely do. Even if it is accessed, some will brush it off as merely imagination. Intuition relies on trusting subtle impressions that you receive when you ask a question, or it may come as a warning about something. The answers just feel right somehow, and if you trust in the process, you will find that life will begin to run more smoothly because of this intuitive awareness that comes to your assistance. Some people like to call this “guidance.” And in a way it is. The more you practice listening to your guidance, the more it will work for you. It is the same as any other talent—it needs to be practiced to work well. However, you do need discernment as to whether you can trust your intuition. It may be coming from your own brain centres or emotional body.

One way to check if your intuition is genuine, is simply by asking the question: “Is this information coming from my Higher Self?” The Higher Self will always answer immediately, without hesitation, in a positive, uplifting manner. If the answer is hesitant or seems unsure when you question it, the information is probably coming from the emotional level, or from the brain centres. If the answer has indeed come from the Higher Self, it will still be there, and you will feel steady and sure that this is right for you. If you would like more information on how to develop your intuition further, you will find some tips below.

1. Meditation and relaxation

Meditation is an excellent way to develop your intuitive awareness. There are various meditation techniques available today, and it is just a matter of finding one that suits your temperament. Highly active people like moving meditations while running or jogging, while more passive types like to sit or lie down to meditate. As relaxation is a natural side effect of meditating, this can be an excellent way to start. When you are relaxed and the mind is quiet, it is easier for intuitive impressions to impact upon your consciousness in the form of visions, the inner voice, or just through your awareness.

2. A positive state of mind brings success

Never let the stresses of every day living impact upon you. Look upon them as tests on the pathway of life. This will do much to improve your intuitive ability. When you remain positive, you naturally tune into the more positive streams of energy available, and this makes it much easier to use your intuitive ability.

3.  Listen to the inner voice

If you need to make an important decision, release any tension you may be holding, relax your body by doing a few stretches, and then let go of all unnecessary problems, and head off to quiet, peaceful surroundings where you can tune in and listen to your inner voice; that voice is always there—but it won’t be apparent until you still your mind and emotions enough to hear it. Allow some time for your intuition to filter through to your conscious mind. If you are a little stressed, it is like stirring up a muddy pond—you have to wait till the sediment settles so you can get a clear answer. With a little practice you will reap benefits you have only ever dreamed about. You can also try out this great meditation on our youtube channel.
