"Sun Goddess Peacock" Coat by ZOE EDGE
Light has always been a metaphor for truth. When we say we can "see the light" we mean we can see the truth in a situation. When we talk about becoming "enlightened" we mean achieving a level of understanding. As the supreme source of light the Sun is therefore a powerful symbol of knowledge and understanding. Knowledge is power. Only when we understand the situation do we have the power to transform it. The SUN is associated with success and greatness, we can be brilliant and truly shine (Tarot card meaning of The Sun) Peacock carries the meaning of nobility, watchfulness, holiness, protection while rejuvenating self esteem.

“Mature love is union under the condition of preserving one's integrity, one's individuality; a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow men, which unites him with others; love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separateness, yet it permits him to be himself, to retain his integrity.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving Unstandardized influential futuristic philosophical ethically made GODDESS COATS
Real beauty is all around us and can even be seen on tv. With this in mind and the request to decorate a coat based on the word Goddess I was watching a live interview with Jane Goodall on tv. When I saw her old eyes radiating love and joy throughout the whole tv show, I knew and felt I was watching a person who has reached an undeniable higher state of consciousness than most of us. In her everyone can see the divine at work, that has given her a presence in the now that is geared into the direction of godliness. It was as clear as water, I had to choose her graceful loving face as my image for the Goddess coat. Jane to me, is the living proof, that a state of Godliness or intensified consciousness can be reached, not merely by meditation or living in a monastery, but also by finding silence, being curious, being fascinated, by living in tune with the environment, by appreciating the moment, by enjoying Art and music; by making the connection between the brain and the heart, thought and compassion. - Vian Jane Goodall Art Coat is hand painted by artist Vian on hemp Arms, collar, sleeves handcrafted crochet from recycled cotton and wool Yellow polyester lining Luca Chiapatti photography Model Elske
"Goddess Jane Goodall" by VIAN
Thinking of the word goddess, the First thing that springs in mind is, that this word comes from our dualistic mindset. Things are this or things are that, the opposite; I call that 1+1=2 thinking, square thinking. When I imagine what divine godliness means, I think about a state of consciousness, that cannot be reached while watching commercials on tv, or while being engaged in mental activity, that divides the world in opposites.
We must perform every action with JOY and derive BLISS from our work. How is this possible? We gain the real fruits of labor when the INTELLECT and HEART come together. Whatever we do, we should also think about what we can GIVE others, instead of thinking only about what we can gain from it. - AMMA Art coat "Great Illusion" hand painted by Aileen Healy and Dorit Kozlovski

According to dictionary, freedom is: "The natural faculty that the individual has to decide and act how he wants and when he wants because he is not subject to the will of another, which makes him responsible for his actions. He therefore has the capacity to demonstrate and express himself without fear or guilt." - Alberto Varela, from book "From Prison.. from my newfound Freedom" Eccentric fashion for free spirits by DURGA www.durgauniverse.com Model Emilie Hair Mario Basica
Being a rebel means acting to please oneself; you do not have to go against anyone . To break with society out of love for the self does not imply any violent or aggressive act but quite the opposite. It does not mean becoming a revolutionary, an anarchist or against the system, but simply becoming ourselves, without allowing society to dominate or manipulate us -Alberto Varela, from book "From Prison.. from my newfound Freedom" Luca Chiapatti & Laura Campo de Luna photography Model Sonia Lawicka Hair Mario Basica

"Gates of the Universe/tree of life" by Koes Komo
Dr. Hawkins made a study on “Measuring Consciousness Levels”. According to Hawkins, humans vibrate at an average scale BELOW 200 (in which they commonly exhibit emotions such as Pride, Anger, Desire, Fear, etc.) The collective human consciousness, however, vibrates at just ABOVE 200. Vibrations in the 200-400 scale represent Courage, Neutrality (“walking the middle path”), Willingness, Acceptance and Reason while others vibrate on the scale of Love (500), Joy (540), Peace (600) and Enlightenment (700-1000 e.g. Ascended Masters Buddha, Jesus, Krishna or other Enlightened embodied human). An individual who vibrates at the level of Love (500) can counterbalance the energy of 750,000 people! Those at the level of 700 can counterbalance over 70 MILLION low vibrating human beings!!! In essence, the higher your frequency, the higher your Consciousness, and the greater is your effortless assistance in raising the vibration of the planet (by virtue of being alive–never mind that you meditate but imagine the force and magnitude of your energy when directed through meditation! Interestingly, one acts much like an antenna constantly broadcasting energy via thoughts, feelings, emotions, and actions. If you find yourself down and/or unmotivated and could use some helpful tips to raise your vibration, just remember “choose Love” (every conscious moment). Let it emanate from your HEART. Laugh a lot. Express Gratitude. DANCE. Experience Art that inspires you. Enjoy being in Nature. Eat/drink GREENS. Meditate. Pray. Practice Yoga. Surround yourself with people you love who appreciate you. Play with your pets. Write a gratitude journal and remember - ultimately it is not another thing or person that is causing the frequency to raise, it's always your CHOICE to assume or adopt a vibration as your own! -adapted from sacredascensionmerkaba.com Unique Art Coat by Koes Komo hand painted with UV glow in the dark fabric paints on hemp Handwoven organic cotton from ethnic artisans of Myanmar Faux Fur lining - the coat can be worn inside out
