Re: what is it about Ekhart Tolle...(edited)
"are you writing on something similar to the "velatura"?"
No, but that sounds like fun. (I've only worked with acrylics and watercolours, mostly because of a sensitivity to thinners, etc.) This is about a method of formulating wall paint that is much closer to composing a piece of music than it is to mixing pigments. Actually, it is very much an alchemy that gets its information from all levels--from the whole person, and formulated FOR the whole being: the seen and unseen. The end result is a harmonic resonance that interacts with the human energy field -- as well as the fields of 'place'. It's very interesting to try to articulate at an introductory level that will not put people off, nor make them feel that this is something that is 'beyond' them--when the truth is, everything that any of us can imagine here, is FOR us, we are not FOR it, y'know. That's why *I'm* wary of posturing and hype, and the sort of thing that happens when perennial wisdom gets packaged and 'morselized'. Soon people will be spouting catch-phrases from this A.N.E. series.I have a slight concern that then, when they get tired of the honeymoon phase, and move on to the next life-changing bunch of exercises, they'll actually discard *the whole basket of light*, as it were.
It's quite wondrous though how everything really does 'come together': ET, Oprah, children, stones learning to sing, coal becoming diamonds--even ET's gawd-awful gold vest. Yikes!!!!(youtube);-)
edit:
"ET is decidedly gnomish" (forget who said it.) lol. I've seen all sorts of highly evolved Rinpoches (meaning "precious one")and they come in all shapes and appearances. One thing they do share though, is what emits *from* them. I can't say I sense that particular field around ET.
