Open Hearts United

There has been an auspicious consciousness within human beings for thousands of years - wanting to make the world a better place. The videos uploaded to this YouTube channel are my best attempt.

Paintings

Below are my previous works. If you enjoy my style, then I would be more than happy to create a custom painting as per your request. These generally cost around $200 to $500 AUD ($131 to $327 USD).

“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.”
“How can you rise, if you have not burned.”
“If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.”
“What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?”
“Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream. Only sayings of the wise will remain.”
“Have you ever played with a kaleidoscope?”
“There is no remembrance of people of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.”
“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.”
“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven...”
“Everything that has a beginning has an end.”
“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
“...a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal...”
“You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few moments; then the wind blows your footprints away.”
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
“...a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance...”
“All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.”
“It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep.”
“...a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up...”
“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.”
“A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.”
“...a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
 a time to be silent and a time to speak...”
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”
“Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it..”
“...a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.”
“The energy of the mind is the essence of life.”
“Action expresses priorities.”

Inspiration

Shinzen Young

Shinzen Young

Unified Mindfulness Creator

Enlightenment Teacher

Master Spiritual Explainer

The medicine for that is to remember that the main goal in meditation is not to get to certain good states, but rather to eliminate what gets in the way of those good states. If you do that, those good states will be available any time you wish. Shinzen Young
Buddha

The Buddha

A man who set out to the achieve the impossible.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Gautama Buddha
AYP Site

AYP Site

Advanced Yoga Practices towards awakening.

That is the goal in these lessons -- to provide the essential means to stimulate the nervous system to purify and open itself, which it is very inclined to do when given the opportunity. Yogani

The Way and the Truth and the Light

iI like to think of Jesus as a man, but Christ as the White Light. Anyone who has ever felt this Light knows of the deep the Love it brings.
Beach

The Beach

There is nothing as refreshing as the ocean.

iSomehow, every afternoon spent at the beach seems incredibly worthwhile.
Tycho

Emotion stirring music.

iThis has been my favourite source of music for a few years. Great for inspiring creativity, feeling one's emotions and coding!
Dear Friend

 Dear Friend

An anonymous, beautiful, magical, adventurous soul

iIt's not the number of friends that matter, but the depth of our connections.

Kepler

A heart of gold

iKepler is laying on my lap as I type this — tired after an adventurous hike!
Nature And Garden

Garden + Nature

As a part of nature ourselves, a flower can be a great teacher.

iI love staring at nature. Whether a tree, flower, bird or bandicoot — feeling the underlying Shakti brings me closer to source.
