Chris Dyer is a human striving for the better in himself and humanity.
He is a soul on a quest for new consciousnesses through meditation,
physical traveling and natural drug experimentations. A medium of
the Most High who opens his vessel and tries to let go of the tempo-
rary ego and complications of his mind. Chris is a true soul skater,
despite all the bails.

Chris Dyer grew up in Lima, Peru till the age of 17 where he engaged
in such activities as surfing, banana-board skateboarding, and soccer
fanatism (with his ex-street gang, SepUlcro). He now lives in Montreal
where he continues his journey to self-realize, on a more peaceful vibe.

Chris’ main objective is to do his part in raising humanity’s consciousness. According
to all spiritual paths and science (Quantum Physics) we are Godly beings that create
our own reality. Delivering positive images to the youth, via the skateboard graphics
he produces, is the powerful seed that can manifest a better reality for us all.
Career wise, Chris is responsible for a great part of the graphics for Creation, a true
roots skate brand from San Francisco (if ya didn’t know). He also has done work for
Think, Satori Movement, Equilibrium (Peru), Freak (Belgium), etc. He also has his own
Hemp clothing line called Positive Creations, based in Montreal.
As for his fine arts Career, he has had solid solo and group exhibitions in cities like
Lima-Peru, Cancun-Mexico, San Francisco, Seattle, Whistler-BC, and of course Mon-
treal. Belgium and Japan are next on the list for this year 2007.
Other than these trips to expose his art, Chris has also done some extensive journeys
through lands like Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, Gua-
temala, Hawaii, Burma, Bermuda, Belize, the States and Canada of course (where he
worked as a tree-planter for 3 summers). All these experiences add to the cultural
richness and oneness message of Chris’ work.

 Nina and Joslyn Lyons: Mother and Daughter, Creative Force of Nature

NINA LYONS - Mother

Although influenced by the Cali-

fornia school of “Funk” ceram-
ic sculpture, Nina Lyon’s work,
which has an unpretentious spon-
taneity, is at the same time insight-
ful, contemplative and focused.
Nina Lyons uses images of chairs,
vessels, ladders and the female form
in her painting and sculpture. Her
drawings utilize the richness of earth
tones, and when done on her sculp-
ture as on paper, they have a won-
derfully expressive textural quality.
“One looks and gets a feeling of si-
lence and timelessness, and even a
sense that these images are detached
from the ground they rest upon,”
writes poet Wendy Jeanne Burch
of the artist’s work. “It is an under-
standing I believe Lyons herself pos-
sesses, of an ever changing, restless
human condition, coming to rest as
a moth comes to a light, temporarily
in a life made of dreams and ghosts.”

She has participated in several drawing directly on the clay. Cap-

group exhibitions including shows
at the San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art Rental Gallery, at the
Oakland Museum Collector’s Gal-
lery and at A New Leaf Gallery.
Her figurative sculpture and foun-
tains can be found in private col-
lections throughout California.
With this work Lyons continues a
20 year exploration begun during
her studies at the school, utillizing
the richness of the earth tones and
turing the feel of cave paintings and
dream images, her pieces are thought-
provoking, playful and engaging.
“My art is about the confluence of
dream, archeology, and memory and
the alchemy that emerges in this con-
text,” explains Lyons of her work.
Born in Canada and raised in the San
Francisco Bay Area, Lyons earned
her Master’s in Fine Arts at the Cali-
fornia College of Arts and Crafts in
Oakland. Her work is collected both

ally and have been displayed in both

cisco, San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art Artists Gallery, and the

has also been lauded by the press.
She’s been featured inThe San Fran-

“People come to me and often

ask what inspires me, and how I
create such dark worlds and places.
I never really know what to say
except that I can spend hours look-
ing at the horizon and just clean-
ing my mind, my soul. I don’t know
what I’m thinking about or what
I am looking at but somehow and
someway I can find myself there..
in the infinity.
Most people are very nice and kind
to me, they comment on my works
and always draw a smile on my
face when I realize I touched them
and that they understand my feel-
ings. I don’t feel lonely anymore.

Others don’t like my art, but that

doesn’t get me worried. They
say it’s too repetitive, empty and
meaningless. I don’t care about it,
all I know is that what I do helps
me to grow, it’s my therapy, some-
thing I hold on to as precious. They
ask me to change my art, but to
change that I would to change all
of my emotions, feelings and tears.
And apart from that I have noth-
ing.”

 Metaphysics
by James Clair Lewis

God is Reality, & Reality is God. There is no beginning or end to Reality. God encompasses all directions & conditions.
The three attributes of Consciousness, Form, & Substance, permeate all of Reality. Consciousness is the organizing
quality of God. The arrangements of molecules in a crystal is an example of consciousness in so-called dead matter.
Consciousness manifests through Form. All shapes are, in fact, fields of energy. The organs of the human body take
their shapes from fields of very subtle energies that allow us as Spiritual Beings to exist in the material universe. Sub-
stance is that which is organized by Consciousness and shaped by its Forms. Substance permeates Reality. There is no
Void or Emptiness. Matter is created in the physical plane where the field energies of the higher planes intersect. The
ancients called this basic substance the Ether. Now contemporary scientists speak about virtual particles, which fill
the space within & between atoms, and also act as the stuff from which the elementary particles are created. It is quite
likely that they are talking about nearly the same thing.
Just as Infinity contains the finite within it, reality also contains many different universes. Each universe has a definite
beginning and end, and operates according to its own Cosmic Laws. Our universe operates according to seven Cosmic
Laws which can be described separately, but which interact and function in the World together.

The first of the Seven Cosmic Laws of our Universe is known as

Parallelism. All phenomena exist in parallel with each other & have correspondences between them. “As Above, So
Below.” Everything is connected to everything else, in one fashion or another. This is known as Oneness. Patterns of
manifestation on a transcendental level have correspondences in the lower Planes of our Universe. Because of Paral-
lelism, it is possible to reason from one event to the next, or to develop language that describes the world we live in.
We can learn much about God by studying nature, and by knowing God, we can discern the operation of any field of
knowledge.

The second of the Seven Cosmic Laws is Polarity. Everything has its
opposite, and opposites manifest with a spectrum of polarities between them. Land has valleys as well as mountains.
Magnets have opposite poles. People possess varying degrees of strength, intelligence & wisdom. Yin is complement-
ed by Yang. Harmony is achieved by establishing and maintaining equilibrium between opposing forces. The interac-
tion of Parallelism with Polarity results in the phenomena of reflections. Just as a mirror absorbs, refracts, & distorts the
light that it reflects, so also can the reflections of Truth be very murky indeed! Supreme clarity of mind is required to
discern what is actually real.

The third of the Seven Cosmic Laws is Motion. Movement is inherent in

the fact of Creation. The interaction of the Cosmic Laws is a dynamic motion which generates the patterns of Life. Ev-
erything is moving. There are no static conditions within our Universe. Space & time exist because of motion. At great
acceleration or in close proximity to great concentrations of mass, time slows down, & space contracts. Once a thing
has been set into motion, it will continue its course forever unabated, unless another force is brought to bear upon
it: either changing its trajectory, type of motion, or altering its nature. This is the principle of inertia, which guides all
kinds of motion whether physical or spiritual.

The fourth of the Seven Cosmic Laws is Oscillation. All phenomena oscillate according to the qualities of their motions.
Oscillation along a basically straight trajectory is known as vibration. Oscillation along a basically circular trajectory is
called a cycle. The various frequencies of Light & sound are said to vibrate, while the cycle of the four seasons is cre-
ated by the Earth’s orbit around the Sun at an angle. The repeating cycle of Life & Death is known as reincarnation.

10
However, from a transcendental perspective, the total of your incarnations may be, as events in a single life, like a
succession of days & nights. Great power can be obtained through the mastery of vibration in the fields of thought, &
sublime insight can be attained through the understanding of the patterns & rhythms of Life.

The fifth of the Seven Cosmic Laws is Attraction. Positive attracts

negative. Motion along the spectrum between opposite polarities proceeds from the negative towards the positive.
Lightning is a good example of this in the world of nature. In human life there is the evolution from ignorance towards
knowledge. We all grow from experience.....at least we do, if we are to survive. The attraction of negative toward posi-
tive generates a great deal of friction, competition, & struggle (entropy). This is neither good nor bad...it is simply the
way of this world. Equalizing or balancing the power of opposing forces can ease severe conflict. It is also true those
things possessing the same qualities of polarity & vibration tend to repel each other. From this arises individuality
which is a reflection of the Oneness of Transcendental Infinity into the finite reality of the World of Nature.

The sixth of the Seven Cosmic Laws is Gravity.

Things that are in harmony, gravitate together. It is a phenomenon of attunement, & with things that are in harmony,
what affects one, will affect the other in the same way. Consider the process of tuning a guitar: when a string is set at
the correct pitch, it will sound or vibrate when you strike the tuning fork. Mass determines the degree of gravitation
between material objects, but it is the force of thought which can be used to gravitate desired conditions into your
life. Be aware of how you think: dwelling upon disaster or things that you fear, has an equal power of gravitation as
positive thinking. To know the Truth, you must embody it in your life, then you will be able to recognize Truth wher-
ever it may be. Attunement with the Divine Mind (the Seven Cosmic Laws) will enable you to perceive the Ultimate
Principles of Reality, & receive Divine Knowledge concerning all things.

The last of the Seven Cosmic Laws is the culmination of the previous
six. It is known as Karma: the law of cause & effect. Every cause has its effect, & every action brings its reaction. What
you do, will come back to you. This implies that the nature of the Universe is cyclical, & that every beginning results
in an ending which forms the basis for a new beginning. The Big Bang that started our Universe some 20 billion years
ago will eventually lead to a collapse of all matter into a tremendous Black Hole at the end of Time. From this, will
emerge a New Universe on a higher scale structured by different Cosmic Laws. Karma is primarily a Spiritual Law, rath-
er than a physical one. Cause & effect for an individual manifests as states of mind & attitudes towards Life which then
act to make various situations & conditions occur. Since we are all co-creators of the world we live in, it is our collective
activity which makes things the way that they are. In this unenlightened world, disasters fall upon everyone with more
or less equal force. You may or may not be responsible for the hand that Life has dealt you, but you are responsible for
how you play it.

Within you exist (at least potentially) all of Qualities & Powers of
the Creator. The seven Chakras or great energy channels within you
correspond directly with the Seven Cosmic Laws of our Universe. As you evolve Spiritually, these channels will open
up, & the Cosmic energy will flow through you. While Insight comes in a flash, Wisdom accumulates gradually. It re-
quires the patience, perseverance, & dedication of a lifetime (or many lifetimes) to attain. This is known as the Mastery
of Life! Now go, and live your life, and live it well, with kindness & good humor. Be creative, and always remember that
what makes it all happen is Love.

Metaphysics, so that you can learn how to figure things out by yourself.

 Conformity
by Dr. Jeanine
The other day I bumped into a
quote by John Fitzgerald Kenne-
dy that stopped me in my tracks.
With my mouth agape, I read,
“Conformity is the jailer of free-
dom and the enemy of growth.”
For some reason, this quote by
JFK had eluded me until now.
Perhaps only now, in my own
personal development would I be
impacted in such a direct way by
the honesty and succinct nature
of this quote. I began to wonder,
when we conform, how much of
our freedom and our personal
growth do we forgo? What is the
price that we pay by consciously
or unconsciously conforming,
if any? Ken Wilber, renowned
prolific writer and consciousness
map maker discusses in his Ko-
smic Consciousness CD-set that
few people grow emotionally,
intellectually and spiritually from
their mid-twenties to their fifties.
One has to wonder if this is be-
cause we are all busy chasing the
trappings of conformity; possibly
without even realizing it!
When I write about conformity
and choosing not to conform, I’m
not talking about reactive rebel-
lion. Some types of rebellion do
have a place in the world. We
must rebel against cruel forces in
the world. But rebelling, for the
sake of rebelling, is just another
trap. Rebellion of this type is an-
other enemy of growth. Knee-jerk
rebellion may look like growth
to some; but it is only spurious
growth. Non-conformity, in its
healthiest form, is borne from
reflection and consequent au-
thentic expression.
12
The world is such a small place
because of the internet, movie
access, ubiquitous televisions
and numerous television chan-
nels, magazines and global travel.
Sometimes we don’t realize that
our choices are made in attempt
to be accepted and conform to
these values, ideals and images.
If we take a holiday from these
reference points and spend time
in reflection, we may come to dif-
ferent conclusions about how we
want to express ourselves.
Charlotte Bronte wrote “Conven-
tionality is not morality” nearly
two hundred years ago. How-
ever, her words remain powerful
today. When we dissent from the
dominant society or group, it may
seem to them we are breaking
a moral code. When people are
brave enough to do something
that is their own choice, separate
from and perhaps unpopular
with the masses, they are often
seen as immoral. Even small ges-
tures away from the conforming
masses, may be a threat to them.
When I think about the reactions
I experienced from people when
I dyed my hair blonde (huge
mind-bending reactions), chose a
new spiritual perspective, went to
Europe, Australia, New York and
Mexico alone, became a vegetar-
ian, grew waist length hair, home
schooled my children, moved to
a horse property, waited to have
children, eloped, decided to pur-
sue my Ph.D., etc… the reaction
from many others wasn’t simply a
“Why are you doing that” or “Oh,
tell me more about that.” The re-
sponses I heard from many were
along the lines of suggesting (to
different degrees) that I was an
immoral dissenter.
When we are judged by others
for our non-conformity, we may
be tempted to see these people
as those who don’t really love us,
or those who love us only very
conditionally. What I’ve come
to realize is that many of those
who love us, don’t embrace our
non-conformity not because
they don’t love us, but because
they fear they may lose us. They
also fear they may lose the abil-
ity to relate to us and us to them.
Maybe they fear they have done
it (fill in the blank) or are doing it
(fill in the blank) wrong. They may
fear how others will respond to
us now that we are acting differ-
ently from them. In fact, they may
fear that our choices may be the
beginning of choices that will
separate us perhaps intellectually,
emotionally, geographically and
spiritually. In some ways, they
may be right. Our love ones and
communities may not get us, but
the price to pay for blind confor-
mity is a great one, most espe-
cially if we end up living someone
else’s life.

I’ve done so many things...
I have always been an artist,
never entertained the idea of
being anything else. I started as
an apprentice for a well know
Georgetown artist while still in
high school. Jackie Chaulkey
took me under here wing after
I left home as a teenager and
I did production ceramics for
her. I also was fortunate enough
to work in an auto paint shop
called the Spider Web, where I
did custom work on motorcycles
and had one of my tanks in the
World of Wheels. A Molly Hatch-
et cover as I recall.
Soon after graduating high
school I took off on a ten year
journey across the United States
in a converted school bus that
we turned into a motor home. I
spent those years learning other
mediums and making a living
doing lapidary, stained glass,
leather work, candles, lost wax
casting and working in theatre
as a special effects and make up
artist.
Later after I had my son, I went
home to take care of my folks till
they passed away and decided
to go back to school. I earned an
Associates degree in graphic and
14
web design that earned me a
scholarship to go to the Univer-
sity of Baltimore where I earned
a B.S. in Communications, a B.A.
in Psychology and later a MA in
Publication Design.
I taught graphic design and ani-
mation at the local Community
College for a few years and while
finishing grad school. Once com-
pleted it was time to move back
to where my heart was happy so
I came to Wyoming.
Here I was finally able to begin
doing the type of art I enjoy for
myself again. I was at a loss at
first, it had been so long since I’d
done anything I wanted to do.
My love for animals kicked in.. I
had run a small rescue and fos-
tered animals for many years. So
I decided, why not show them as
I see them and began what I do
today.
I do wildlife, take photos of
peoples pet and make portraits
of them and of course I do the
occasional Sci-fi / fantasy piece.
I continue to do stained glass
and am dusting off the airbrush
to star doing side work paint-

ing custom cars and motorcycle
tanks again... funny how life
seems to come full circle.
I intend to do more fantasy
pieces and have been asked to
do more Native American de-
signs and some landscapes of
the local country side. So over
the winter I will concentrate on
those. I plan to go to Renais-
sance festivals and see what I
can get into there... maybe lost
wax casting in silver again.
It feel wonderful to be back, like
starting life over again fresh and
with some understanding and
knowledge of what I’m doing
this time around.... Hope you

Division upon inoculation of enlightenment…

”Set upon the psychic journey of the arborous in search of escape, Ionce more stand before the
guardian of remembering. The knowledge keeper of whom I wish not to have faced, being that
the creature is the keeper of one’s own mind. Seeking a point in my path became the understand-
ing of my own nature’s duality. Within the charged air of selves, confrontation of the whole is
elongated from its point of grounding and electrified into a division of being.

 Indigo – A Children’s Story By: Christine Jordan

CHAPTER ONE
Introducing Indigo
Ever felt special? Ever felt different? Ever felt like you didn’t fit in?

Well, that’s how Indigo felt. She didn’t like it at first but then, when she began to understand more about life and more
about her self, she knew that it was just a wonderful feeling to be different and special.
‘That’s a strange name,’ children at school would say to her. Her answer was always the same .....
‘Do you think so? My mother called me that the day I was born. She said I had an indigo coloured aura.’
The next question would always be the same …..
‘What’s an aura?’
Indigo would smile and explain that an aura was a field of energy surrounding the body.
‘We all have them. It’s just that some people have a gift to see the energy colors and my Mum has that gift.’
Then the reaction was usually one of two…..
‘Cool. Can I come back to your house after school today?’
Or…
‘You’re weird. That’s just rubbish.’
Usually, it was the second one.
Indigo didn’t mind the ‘weird’ reaction. She would smile sweetly and simply walk away, her willowy figure swaying like
a reed in the wind. That really bugged them then. She didn’t do it on purpose. That was just who she was. Going with
the flow of life rather than struggling against it. An unusual child in many ways, she had the kind of personality that lit
up a room instantly. Her positive, happy presence turning negative vibrations to positive. For some, this was a source
of irritation and jealousy but Indigo managed to rise above other people’s negativity. It really didn’t bother her if other
children thought she was weird or different. Whilst they were desperately trying to be like each other, pestering their
poor parents to have the latest fashion accessory, the latest trainer, the latest mobile phone or the entire set of “what-
ever”. Indigo just got on with her life. Don’t get me wrong – she wasn’t a Nerd or a Chav. Anything but. Not one to
be a slave to current school trends she often wore unusual accessories – not the kind that came from Claire’s or Acces-
sorize. Again, the question from her school friends was always the same…..
‘Where did you get that from?’
And again, her answer was always …..
‘From my Mum, she’s an artist. She makes them. This was a special present, it represents my untapped potential.’
Indigo would proudly show them the pendant that she always wore. It was made from platinum and coiled into three
spiraling circles. Her mother had told her that the symbol represented her dormant feminine energy and her potential
psychic powers.
Whether they were from the ‘cool’ or ‘weird’ group they would always take a closer
inspection. And so, that’s how things were for Indigo.
Until one day…....

Christine Jordan was born in Yorkshire, UK She has one daughter named Fern who is the
inspiration for the character of Indigo. Christine saw ‘the light’ in 2005 following a period of
deep darkness in her life. She was inspired to write this novel while visiting her lightworker

 Internet Romances
By: Mystikka

Excerpted from Chapter 13 of ‘The Love Crisis Survival Guide.’

Most of my clients are straight women, and that group is whom I will be addressing in terms of the
gender references made throughout the following article. However, if you are a straight male or
you are homosexual, the dynamics explained throughout this book may still apply, because love is
universal.

In this day and age of a computer-oriented era, online relationships are as convenient as they are se-
ductive. Interacting parties tend to feel safe revealing certain areas of their lives to each other when
they can hide behind the keyboard and shut off the equipment at any given time. Therefore, a bond
of intimate communication can be easily formed between practical strangers in cyberspace.

Dating and networking websites are a breeding ground for fantasy. The internet allows men and
women to put their best foot forward and only showcase qualities that they wish for others to see. It
is impossible to understand how a person behaves in real time flesh and blood based on their on-
line persona.

Some men may seem very genuine, caring, and attentive during an instant messaging chat session,
but after they end the conversation with you they may turn around and say the same things to a
number of different women. You don’t really know who he is, for sure, beyond what he chooses to
show you.

Infatuation colored glasses can cause a person to dream up lot of excuses to keep the excitement
alive in a romantic internet connection. Even when we are being selective and guarded, it is naïve to
give a man that we have only corresponded with online and by telephone the benefit of the doubt
when it comes to his relationship integrity. I’m not suggesting that you assume the worst about him;
rather, I am asking you to assume nothing for certain.

When couples spend most of their time communicating online, the keyboard can create a comfort
zone that not everyone wants to expand into a real life arena. To treat your emotional investments
with care, I would strongly suggest that you limit the amount of online chat time with a perceived
potential partner to roughly ten minutes a day, three times a week. This self-disciplinary strategy will
help to keep you from becoming too dependent on the chats for your emotional stimulation.

If you already are emotionally dependent on the online chats, limiting them is one of the first ac-
tions you can take that will help you to break that habit. If you are simply looking for a casual friend-
24
ship or a temporary cyber fling with no strings attached, then these precautions are not necessary
for you.

When a client begins to develop an online infatuation, I will often tell her to meet the man of inter-
est in person if he will cooperate, at a neutral public place where she can stay alert, before she falls
too deeply in love. Breaking the anonymity in real time will dispel a lot of inaccurate preconceived
notions one might be apt to fall in love with over the computer screen. If the situation becomes un-
comfortable in person, she can always excuse herself from the date, and chalk it all up to a learning
experience.

Although many people do meet someone online and get married, most internet romances do not
go as planned. Beware of the tendency to concoct an image of the future in your mind. It is impor-
tant to resist the urge to speculate about the destination of a budding romantic connection, wheth-
er it begins on the internet or not.

One of the most difficult aspects of an online breakup is the feeling of not having had a fair oppor-
tunity to sail across the full potential of a relationship before its ship has sunk. Most of us who have
faced the ending of a love affair that had a significant amount of physical distance involved under-
stand the dynamic of unexplored territory. The unfulfilled curiosities of an unrequited connection
that once seemed so promising can create an insatiable desire for resolution or closure that won’t
let a woman get a decent night’s sleep!

Even when non-internet related, real time relationships break up, the haunting desire for closure
often handicaps the host, temporarily keeping her from being able to move on to greater things
in life. The cold, hard truth of the matter is that no one else is truly responsible for our own sense
of closure. Closure is something that happens on the inside of you, deep down underneath your
emotional longings. Closure happens when you release the need for his permission to move on, his
approval, his understanding, his karmic payback, or anything else that involves him as a participant.
