Happy New Year, 2025.
“1292. Meditation” oil painting by Mariko Irie
How is your new year 2025 going?
When I was painting this cow, the cow gave off an enchantment light😊💖
So I named this painting “1292. Meditation”
By the way, I started “ meditation” 10 minutes every morning.
I heard meditation activates our pineal gland (a tiny endocrine gland in the middle of your brain that helps regulate your body’s circadian rhythm by secreting the hormone melatonin). A lot of scientists and other creative people including Steve jobs did meditation.
I was just curious what happens to me.
After I started meditation, I used to have distraction in my brain. Now I feelI my mind is clear. I still have thoughts come in my mind, but now they are related with what I’m doing.
I wonder what is the 5th dimension.
We know we are living in three dimension world.
How about 4th ?
I read about 4th dimension. They are too abstract to me.
When I found this idea, I could connect to it:
We have memories so we know what happened in the past, and we have imagination and expect so we will know the near future. That is 4th dimension.
Then we have power of imagination and guessing ability. People believe in their imagination for the world, and living in that world is 5th dimension. I think those who live in the 5th dimension are visionaries.
Also I started to learn about consciousness.
There are things or events in this world, but if our brain doesn’t recognize them, there are not existing for us.
If we believe they are there then they are happening, they are there for us.
John Lennon sang “Imagene”:
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
Let’s imagine a peaceful, beautiful world😊💖.
