Die hard

                                   History of these Photos

   I chose this photograph, not chronologically, but for its symbolism and the experiences surrounding its receipt amidst all the others. Upon closer inspection of the energies reflected, I found many symbolic representations that resonated with me, speaking to the removal of dark karmas in my life on a symbolic level. I've always been drawn to symbols representing concepts; it was an intellectual and emotional preoccupation for years, encompassing everything from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to astrological symbols, reflecting entire concepts with vast connectivity. This photograph conveyed personal experiences encompassing dreams and the Akashic record—the golden river of consciousness erasing  all karmas .—while transcending personal experiences of the ignorant  and nowthe  unseen workings of His Blessings seen in full display. . It was like an inner vision, now a photograph. The inner eye connects with the Guru, and the power and elegance of His Hand Blessings, previously only felt, were now clearly seen in the image, among other symbolisms. 

  The Golden Bird representing the golden truth was liberated in that Hand Blessing and captured to fly on through the dynamic of stories.  The golden energy representing “truth” for anyone who could receive it with His image at the centre of the symbolic bird representing His consciousness. 

      The Golden Blessings flowing freely through the landscape of my journey to this photograph. I tell the story in reflections of photographs He gave me Himself.. all the while in remembrance of the experience with Christ.  I tried not to get lost in the noise or devalue the depth of the Indian culture which is the only culture in which an Avatar could be born and live for so long.  IMHO.

In the Hindhu epic tale called the Ramayana, when Ram met the dying bird Jatayu, He helped him attain moksha (liberation)by uttering “Lepakshi” which in Telegu means  

                                       “rise bird.”
