“Sea Tern” | Anthony Satori
“Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?”
– C. G. Jung

Heaven-Born Things
“Heaven-Born Things” | Anthony Satori
“What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.”
– Marcus Aurelius
We are immortal spiritual beings. Never doubt this. Never forget it. We are visiting this physical realm for just a brief moment, temporarily experiencing the wonder and challenge of living in physical bodies made up of water, heat, and stardust. But where we truly live is another realm: the spiritual realm. It is here that we know our true selves: Beings of Pure Consciousness, Light, and Love. It is here that we commune with our collective higher mind, where we have access to endless self-realized power and joy, where we see and love God directly, and where we are seen and loved directly by God, in return.
Make the most of this physical experience while you are here. It is not to be discounted. It is a gift to be cherished. Do your best to live a life of purpose, gratitude, and love. And then, when the time comes, take solace in the knowledge that we will shed these atoms and cells, gratefully returning them to the earth from which they came, and we will fly to our native seat in heaven.
The Spiritual Path
“Red-Tailed Hawk” | Anthony Satori
“Down through the ages, there has always been the spiritual path. It’s been passed on – it always will be – and if anybody ever wants it in any era, it’s always there.”
– George Harrison
The Impact of Color
“Jet Plane” | Anthony Satori
“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.”
– Wassily Kandinsky
The Only Reality
“Pelican in Flight” | Anthony Satori
“Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.”
– Rabindranath Tagore
Elegance
“Clear Blue” | Anthony Satori
“Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler the posture, the more beautiful it will be.”
– Paulo Coelho
Innate Well of Contentment
“On the Wind” | Anthony Satori
“We should purify our innate well of contentment, and then external things will be in harmony with us.”
– Eckhart Tolle
Immortality
“Open Wings” –|– Anthony Satori
“Our longing for immortality is good. It was put there on purpose. We were meant — from the moment of our creation — to live forever.”
— Eric Metaxas
On Boughs Too Slight
“On Boughs Too Slight” –|– Anthony Satori
“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.”
— Victor Hugo
Artemis
“Artemis” | Anthony Satori
“Isn’t it astonishing that all these secrets [of nature] have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them?”
— Orville Wright, co-inventor of the first airplane. (1903)
Nature holds so many wonderful mysteries. It’s like a giant cosmic Easter Egg hunt that has been carefully set in place for us to enjoy, and I picture a benevolent Creator just sitting back and watching, with pleasure and pride, as we seek — and gradually discover — the endless gifts and surprises that have been hidden for us throughout nature, around the universe, and even within our own souls.
Historical Note: This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which sent two American astronauts to walk on the moon for the first time in human history. Just this week, as well, a brand new mission has been announced by NASA, scheduled to return humans to the moon by 2024. This new mission is called Artemis. In Greek mythology, Artemis is the godess of wilderness, exploration, archery, and the moon. She is also the twin sister of Apollo.
