Orb
I would like to share an incredible experience
with you. On May 25, 2008 at the 2008 Face and
Body Art International Convention in Orlando,
Florida I won First Place in the Masters Juried
Competition for Face-Painting. http://www.fabaic.com
The painting depicts the transformation of consciousness
in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar. Inspired
by a trip to Chitzen Itza in October 2007,John
Major Jenkins book, “Maya Cosmogenesis 2012”,
and “the Disappearance of the Universe”
by Gary Renard, two books I highly recommend to
understand this important time.
Titled the “Mayan Message” this piece
depicts the legendary serpent, Quetzacoatl coming
down from the heavens to renew the earth. The
lower half is the mouth of the jaguar which according
to the Maya is the portal to the underworld. “In
12/21/12 the solar and the galactic planes will
align. This is your invitation to forgive, connect
with and receive divine wisdom. It is not the
end but the beginning of forever.”
In the hallway of the Doubletree Orlando about
fifteen minutes after I won I was in a state of
prayer. I had handed the camera to my 4 year old
son, Kai to take pictures and he started shooting
before we were ready to pose. It was taken with
a Canon Powershot A550, with the flash off. Notice
the reflection from it on my face and the jewels
on my sister’s painted head and her bracelet.
This is the actual photo untouched. It is still
on my camera card.
If you zoom in with the magnifying glass you
can see it is distinctly round with some kind
of symbol on it. It looks like a Mayan symbol
to me. There are people now trying to figure out
what it is…..
I believe this is a sign that my win was to share
this message with the world. Can you figure out
what it means?
It is hovering on my painting arm holding the
award.
