About a film project:"

Garden Angel"

"Garden Angel" is a visual poem, a short experimental nature film series.

The scenes happen by chance, as a traveler in a strange always unknown land.

The events demonstrate the intimate relationship between the main character, our GARDEN ANGEL, and nature.

(Possibly to be accompanied by ancient, modern or future classical music which conveys depth and calmness of mind, the infinity of nature under the light of love.)

It happens between the mystic river banks of tropical rain forest, and around and inside the magic garden of Myriam Vandenberghe, our Garden angel, where the time stands still.

Whether in a river in a rainforest or in a drop of water on a flower in a garden, the beauty, unity, and the mystery is the same.

For the quiet and simple mind, nature's beauty, reveals itself.

More than just telling a story, the images in these shorts reveal, the wonder that each of us has ever had as a child, and that wisdom teaches us never to lose.

So we walk in nature as a museum of infinite fascinating forms of living art.

The structure is a combination of sensitive nature pictures + videos of simple things or events in a near-cinematic presentation, to further combine with live music performances or other forms of music in 8 nature short film presentations of 15 minutes (about 2 hours in total).

The macro lens reveals a poetic microcosm from the viewpoint of an insect grows to the unity of a philosophical macrocosm.

Discovering and sharing the beauty of the treasures of nature and spiritual consciousness.

What is relevant in Art today

OUR STANDPOINTS AND QUESTIONS

van Chapman -Philosophic Community Projects -

www.naturestudio.net

If one is concerned with the style of frames on a painting, for example, if they are modern or not in style, is that relevant to the world today?

It is not because a form is modern in style that is true in the spirit. But if an art is timeless, the other way around is true.

If a work is true and beautiful in spirit and form, it is always actual.

I am not prejudicing a work because it is modern. That is in fact the meaning of my Abstract Waterforms 1 video, to convey how abstract can be an aspect of nature, and a work based on abstract forms like this, can be spiritual in the sense that it can help people to see what is. See the overwhelming beauty and richness we have in nature, which the world is destroying if it does not see. Can you guarantee me that modern art is not prejudicing fine spiritual works ( like those of Myriam Vandenberghe), simply because they are not modern in style??

Is it relevant to the world, for example, a work , even if modern in style, when it only adds to the existing pollution and insensibility of the world ? For example producing Cloacas, for example, excrements out of good food, as art, in a world where people are dying of hunger, or tattooing pigs in a world animals like these live in dungeons only for consumption, without the right for a life, is this more spiritual and relevant to the world today?

I am here to listen and try to understand, because as I see, for someone to label a work which expresses a profound state of communion with nature and life as a 'mere decoration', simply because it is not modern in style, is indeed an unjust, tragic-comic projection.

A true, just or kind spirit is still good, without a form.

But what is a form, however modern, without a true spirit?

If a work is about form, or a style, and never mind the spirit, the justice, the truth, never mind the health the life or peace in this world, even though it is modern, is it relevant contemporary art?

Without the sensibility which true love gives to us, is any work relevant to the world?

When a true spirit takes form, no matter the style, it is art.

Once I heard the question: -" Can Art save the world ?". What can save the world is not a matter of taste but of consciousness. It is Not a mode, a style of Art, but to unite a true, kind and just spirit in action, in whatever work we do. To be humble enough to see what is, and not prejudge anyone, anything; not even out of belief.

There is nothing substantially new in a work of art, or revolution, when you substitute one vanity of power for another, one prejudice for another.

A DIALOGUE ABOUT ART

TO CANVAS TV

www.naturestudio.net.

Since Marcel DuChamp, with his urinoir, we have noticed, it seems modern artists spend a lot of time in the toilet!

They never seem to be tired to look in there for things to exhibit in museums,- from the metal tube structures and toilet accessories, furniture to bodily matter, sex organs, bones, tissues, fats, fluids dirty baby napies, to the very Cloaka of Delvoye, apparently fascinated by excreting activities, for all that, with a solid CONCEPT backing it, yes, is modern.

Similarly, most expressions of graffiti or rap-pop-contemporary artists are as the body language of those teen agers seduced by the tough guys of a street gang, proud of their insensitive, arrogant attitudes and foul language, mostly copied from the others, expressions from the excrements of language as 'fucking' with every other sentence, 'shit', 'God damn ' ('Godverdomme'), or 'fuck off', because that is 'COOL" or 'IN'.

And like these teenagers, many contemporary art exponents turn their nose up at, and look down upon those who do not follow them.

If I would think artists to be pioneers, seeing the often cold and gloomy expressions of many of the 'Avant Garde' artists today, like sculptures of bodies smashed inside building materials we saw on Canvas TV, the future would look somber indeed.

Myriam Vandenberghe and I agree that only through the consciousness of love one can see the beauty of Nature and also the ugliness and stupidity of vanity, of greed, arrogance, which to the immature mind is so 'cool'.

Thanks for the Climate Reality Project and the invitation to join it.

I would love to help you in doing what I do best. This is a way I could help ;Here below is a project that perhaps could be adopted by Al Gore’s team

to transmit your important message to the world.

We are proposing in this letter to the department of Culture (and Sport) of the city of Gent a possibility for a cooperation in a further creation of a ‘Museum of Arts for Nature’ in the location of our non profit society and Atelier in Belgium, in Gent, but I am afraid that in this city,

Sports and loud pop concerts have more subsidies than art concerned with Nature. I hope their policy will change one day.

So we are still looking for a co-producer for this project ‘Museum of Arts for Nature’.

Subject: Shameful

Extract of a notification sent from the White House to Naturestudio

(Quote)"a few minutes ago, a minority in the United States Senate decided it wasn't worth it. They blocked common-sense gun reforms even while these families looked on from the Senate gallery.

By now, it's well known that 90 percent of the American people support universal background checks that make it harder for a dangerous person to buy a gun. We're talking about convicted felons, people convicted of domestic violence, people with a severe mental illness. Ninety percent of Americans support that idea. Most Americans think that's already the law.

And a few minutes ago, 90 percent of Democrats in the Senate just voted for that idea. But it's not going to happen because 90 percent of Republicans in the Senate just voted against that idea. " (end quote).

I see it is a shame to Republicans.

What to do to change the weapon possession race in the US as in the rest of the World?

The answer is simple ’Do not do to others what you would not like to be done to yourself.’

As by American Foreign Policy the right to (Nuclear) arms possession is to be strictly forbidden to terrorists, and limited to countries or individuals who fully comply with human rights, so should the same as a law apply within the US for the arms possession of each member State or individual citizen.

Arm the just and fair, unarm the unjust and unfair, so one may not need to resort to deadly weapons, for

Dear Barack Obama,

If the world could have voted, it would have voted for you.

In spite you saying that ‘nationalism’ is among one of the most important things, which is not to me, your victory speech was inspired and inspiring.

Congratulations! Happy you were re-elected.

And because you are such a humble man, be welcome by us in our atelier and garden if you are free or need our help.

“The petty God of a petty mind”

Meditation

Sedating before slaughter is in the agenda for all European countries.

In this sense Europe is on the right direction of consciousness, of humane treatment for all, and spiritual evolution. I would like to see the same in the whole world. But there are people against it to our surprise, from religious groups!

On the News, Muslims and Jews in Europe object to the more humane way of sedation before slaughter. Part of a duty of Muslims is the offer of a sheep in Mecca in a non sedated, brutal and bloody ritual slaughter.

LOVE OR THE HOLY SPIRIT is simple:

'DO NOT TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DONE UNTO YOU.'

A human is better than a beast by the virtue of the love, compassion in him.

Can one enjoy how a lion brutally kills his prey?

Can one enjoy it being the prey? No.

I would like a happy life and a peaceful death without fear or suffering. So I wish to others.

An unearthly Paradise is to ‘love our enemies’, when the “lion” and the “sheep” shall lay peacefully together, (as our cats and dogs can be friends, contrary to their earthly instincts).

Do Muslims want to be discriminated for their Beliefs? No.

Yet discrimination of belief is central in Koran : (3: 85)“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good”).

Are Muslims to convert all people without question, even professing non-violence, as vegetarians, Buddhists or Yogis, to a religion which demands violent ritual slaughter, not to mention the horror of ‘Honour’ Murders, illegal crime in the civilized world?

Paradise, the eternal Spirit of love itself, cannot be reached by perpetuating the brutal predator in us, the unnecessary martyrdom of sheep, nor in violating people, in denying them their right to critical questioning, to practice non- violence.

A violent terrorist by a terroristic belief is not yet a full grown human, much less an angel, or the messenger of God.

To be a religious terrorist is to adore what Krishnamurti called a “Petty God of a petty mind”.

Dear Muslims, are you trying to convince me or yourself of this ???

If it interests you, my friend,

(Found a site on internet where the innumerous attacks on Jews and Christians by Mohammed on the Koran, in name of God, as the author of the site declares, proofs that Muhammad's Quran is as UNGODLY as Hitler's Mein Kampf. http://www.inthenameofallah.org/Total%20War.html ).

Answer to the Islam

As I told you, dear Muslim, all that is beautiful, like great music and great art, comes from God, or say, from the Goodness of the heart, and this unjust hate and cruel discrimination of people for their beliefs in the Koran, and the violence and war ort Jihad against people, even the most un-violent of them, in name of a God, is definitively not beautiful.

The Taliban's destruction of the the statues of the Bamyhan Buddhas in Afghanistan was an attack on the compassion of the teaching of the Buddha.

because of things like this written in their Koran: (3: 85)“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good”).

Are Muslims trying to convince me that The Most forgiving would only forgive the unforgiving but not the forgiving? That the All Knowing would not forgive the understanding ones and but only the unquestioning what is written and non-forgiving ???

Are you trying to convince me that those are NOT violent, by the love in their hearts, do not deserve paradise, but only those who ARE VIOLENT, in obedience to something written in a book, deserve to go to Paradise????

All the best to you

Speaking about music (what is prohibited by traditions like that of the Taliban), I told a Muslim, so he could understand my meaning of love:

-'All that is beautiful comes from God.'

Beauty can be anywhere but fanatics think God is expressed only in their contradictory holy books or traditions, what creates the ugliness of hate and chaos and war where there should be love and peace.

Religious terrorism makes it evident how we can we reduce God, Justice or love to the smallness of our egoist minds, how we create God in our own petty images.

The heavy, contradictory traditions, or beliefs of terrorists are those which condemning killing, force you to kill, condemning robbing, force you to rob, and condemning lying, force you to lie, for the sake of their authority.

End of a long attempt of a dialogue with a fanatic Muslim

You say you do not believe in love as I do.

you believe in justice, not love, because you believe in Alah.

I say there is no Justice without love.

Does a good teacher kill a student because a student does not believe or understand?

Does a good teacher punish a human fault or crime with an even worse crime?

What I have shown you in this dialogue is that not all which is written in the scriptures and Koran is just.

some punishments in the Koran are not a form of just punishment but a much worse crime.

and Erci finally gave in and : answered: -Maybe...

Now he must be giving it some thought.

[Love or Belief ?]

Terrorists are not afraid of bombs, they are afraid of questions.

Spiritual voice cannot be silenced by neither questions nor bombs ,

Spiritual people are afraid to harm or do injustice to anyone, what terrorists are not afraid of.

Wishing all the best to you.

A HIDDEN TREASURE

If Art is about inner truth, then nothing could be more actual in this world (of global warming, fratricide wars), than the treasures Myriam Vandenberghe discovers or creates in the silence of her kind soul. Rather than futuristic nightmares, I would rather live in the magical gardens she architects for the future: The green, pure, innocent, violence-free worlds she paints and photographs.

As the great classical music, Myriam's art and being, can be seen today as of another time; and forgotten.

How much per cent of the population listens to the treasure of classical music in Radio stations as Klara? Alarming statistics in the past, if I remember well, said it is around one per cent of the population in the area. I do not know if it has evolved.

The explanation for this phenomena is in the spiritual level of the masses.

As the stronger wavelengths of popular radio stations (like radio Donna) have dulled away the cultural radios, as Klara, in Belgium, pop culture gurus would dull her work off the scene.

For most of the people, the real treasure of classic music or of Myriam's art is still buried.

Has the time come for it to be discovered ? I can only present this mysterious person to you, personally, or through my own work, and hope you will see them as the treasures they are. The answer depends on you.

The best quality of people I loved in Holland was sincere openness and the ability to give and take constructive criticism. True force is inner truth and sincerity, not to lose one’s capacity to see for oneself.

In an attempt to dialogue with a fervent Muslim (www.naturestudio.net), (texts which are not yet revised by a publisher), the argument based on love proved to be stronger than any argument of religious fanaticism. Whoever, whatever book represses all critical consciousness and submits others through tyranny and intimidation cannot create true awareness and faith.

However the Dutch open-mindedness be stronger than the lack of criticism of religious fanatics, love is also greater than Nationalism.

I have learned that Muslims can proudly justify any atrocity against people of other beliefs as self-defence, what nationalists have also done and continue to do.

How can hate ever create justice in this world or the next?

The pride self defence and self justification of nationalism is not different than the pride, self justification and self defence of a belief as the Islam (where deception or camouflage (Takyah) is allowed as protection before a threat ( even that of the force of reason).

Love is not about self-defence but about freedom to find and say the truth. It is about caring for justice and the good of all. Not only the religious, but all people on Earth, ought to face fundamental questions such as:

What is true love?

Is love to possess another like a slave and even stone someone out of jealousy, or is love to let loved ones go, if for their happiness and well-being? What is Loyalty?

Is loyalty to believe no matter what someone writes, says, or does?

Or to see clearly and honestly what someone writes, says, or does?

And what is justice? To punish a crime (like robbing) with an even greater crime, (like mutilating someone)??

Can there be justice or Good where there is brutal hate?

In the end, people will support you if you care for them, love them for what they truly are, not discriminate them or value them for what they simply have.

The most important is not what we are materially, but what we are spiritually, said to me once a very dear person.

(Yole Cambareri)

As Krishnamurti said, we have to go beyond thoughts.

To identify a person with his thoughts or beliefs is not to see beyond thoughts.

Religions or ideologies which discriminate others for material things, (their clothes, colour, sex, or even things they have ,like thoughts or beliefs, are materialistic, not spiritual.

We have to learn to be in truth, not in belief with each other.

Truth is in fact quite another thing than our mere thoughts or beliefs.

Subject: An Inconvenient Truth

Dear Geraldine,

Seven years ago, I was honored to have my presentation on climate change turned into a movie called An Inconvenient Truth. To this day, I am consistently gratified when people tell me that the film opened their eyes to the climate crisis, and that it has encouraged and inspired acts of leadership, big and small, around the world.

In honor of the seventh anniversary of the film's release, I'm pleased to invite you to join me for an interactive Google Hangout with my good friend Jeff Skoll tomorrow, June 11, at 2pm EDT. We will talk about some key developments in the climate effort since the film originally came out. Most importantly, I want to invite you to participate in shaping the conversation by submitting your questions and watching the Hangout here.

Also, as part of the anniversary celebration, The Climate Reality Project has helped put together this list of ten actions you can take right now on climate change. I hope that you'll visit the site, share it with your friends, and get inspired!

Sincerely,

Good day

Hope this can reach the president and he takes it seriously.

We heard from him that the Islam has a long history of tolerance and that America is not opposing the Islam.

Previously I have asked questions to Obama about the aggression of Islam in the Koran against Jews, Christians and unbelievers, but the President did not answer me.

Found a video which speaks of Obama’s apparent incoherent policy in respect to America’s Constitution, bowing to unconditional respect which Islam demands for itself.

Will Obama please answer to me the information submitted in these videos?
