God is love!

Digital Collage by Itkupilli

God is love, pure absolute power. Power beyond measure! Nothing else, nothing less.

Am I insulting God, by claiming he’s just some mysterious unknown power? You think he wants me to believe he is something more, like angry father, who just looks somewhere else, when I need his helping hand. And if I don’t know his right name, he refuses to help me. He has all power, but he wants first me to suffer enough, and then he might help me, just might, If I make stupid things, he hurts his feelings. He wants me to worship him, abandon everything else. Is this more like God? Something easier to accept to be truth?

No thanks, this kind of God I don’t want to even consider to meet. And for what I could need God like that?

God is love. We all have this mighty power ready to use. And love with forgiveness, beautiful combination, gives us divine force called mercy. The most powerful force of the universe.

Love, forgive, have mercy!

OMG! How can I just love, when everyone else is so frightful bad? World is so spoiled place. I surely need some other forces to protect me, like fear, anger, doubt… I don’t’ dare to put my life to the hands of God!

Just trust in love? A dangerous thought? Have you ever tried? So how can you tell? Don’t blame God if you’re the coward!

This can't be true!

Digital Collage by Itkupilli My lovely daughter Siiri has borrowed her face to this little fairy.

Some of us have been in situation, when you say from the bottom of your heart: This can't be true! Has God turn his back to me. Is there any justness in this world.
This is so unfair! This just can't be true!!!!

So could it be, that it is not true, somehow your inner truth is calling you. Wake up! Listen to your heart, not your eyes. What you see, doesn't have to be true, if your heart tells you otherwise.

So do I have to start believe in angels, fairies, flying sauces....Jesus, Buddha, God? If you like, but they are just symbols, something created to explain this inner voice, which is talking to you.

Since some of us has already succeeded in discover this mysterious truth, here are some famous quotes to think about:

“The kingdom of God is within you."

Jesus

“There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.

Hermann Hesse

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Carl Jung

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

Buddha

God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I wonder

Digital Collage by Itkupilli

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Albert Einstein

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

Buddha

Who remembers?

Digital Collage by Itkupilli

I dig archives files, this one I found, one of my first totally digitally made. Before I used more mixed media to make collages.. And even before that I draw...I haven't drawn for long times...

Then I dig even deeper... Who remembers the 70s? I do.

You know quite well....

Digital Collage by Itkupilli

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, single power, a single salvation... and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing el”
Carl Jung

Inside the heart of each and every one of us there is a longing to be understood by someone who really cares. When a person is understood, he or she can put up with almost anything in the world.
~ by Rev Ed Hird ~

An angel

Digital collage by Itkupilli

Now I pretend to be an innocent angel here....'coz at previous post I was a real bitch. I took the honor to myself, although I was a minor factor for that collage, not to mention that I cut heads...so let this image present my humbleness. :)

Smile

Digital collage, mixed media by Itkupilli

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you.

Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, Music by Charlie Chaplin

Dreams can be fun, too.

Luova lauantai - Uni -Dream

Viime yönä näin oudon unen. Unelmoin...ja sitten heräsin.

Last night I saw a strange dream. I was dreaming...but then I woke up.

Only thing to remember is who you are. Not who you were. Only moment to remember is present.

I'm a six months old blogger!

Stop! Take a piece of cake. I want to celebrate with you. I want to share this joy with you. I mean you, my brother or sister, you, who had made this new world possible, you, who have inspired and encouraged me with my art. This blogosphere has given incredible chance to meet so great, talented and gorgeous friends in all over the world. It makes it a little bit easier to understand the collective mind, the universal spirit, which we all divide together. We are all one in spirit. So let's be in spirit. Peace and love. I love you all.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

The only real valuable thing is intuition.

Quotes by Albert Einstein

"Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one."

Stella Adler

PS. I'll write this blog mostly in English (Or in Finglish, excuse my terrible English). I would be more than happy if you bother to help me and correct if I make too horrible mistakes.

Ja kaikki suomalaiset blogi-ystävät, haluan jakaa nämä sanat myös teidän kanssanne ja koskapa mun englannin kieleni on niin simppeliä, että sitä on niin helppo ymmärtää, niin kirjoitan jatkossa tälle blogille enimmäkseen englanniksi. Muille blogeilleni aion tästä eteenpäin kirjoittaa vain suomeksi.

Let's celebrate with Finnish musicians featuring Nina Hagen.
