<p>For the advancement of ourselves personally and of our culture and society, I feel it is important to look at what we are experiencing that may be different, or unusual, and then brainstorm and intuit about <em>what could be possible</em> from our knowing and our experience.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so important to do this even when what we are experiencing is very different from those around us, or when our experiences seem quite out of the ordinary.</p>
<p>When we are talking about what is new and theoretical, then it takes pioneers and people willing to think outside of the box to do this.</p>
<p>When we have personal experience with the matter at hand, that&#8217;s when we are closer to the action, and that is when a part of ourselves becomes invested in knowing the answers to &#8216;what was that?&#8217; or &#8216;why did I see it that way?&#8217;.</p>
<h3>Resonating Through Shared Experience</h3>
<p>This is one of the reason I use photographs so much in my blog, and why when possible I do videos to communicate stories and experiences. It is to share a personal experience with you, so that you can see if these experiences of mine feel &#8216;real&#8217; for you, or if they feel possible for you.</p>
<p>And then we can dream, together.</p>
<p>Or maybe, they feel resonant with personal experiences that you have had, also. Maybe you feel less alone, and more confident, knowing there is someone else out there, having experiences like you do.</p>
<p>For me, seeing the similarities in others&#8217; stories leaves me feeling inspired.</p>
<p>We can dream of the possibilities. We can dream of what might be.</p>
<p>Look at how those willing to dream of what might be have effected our society and have moved us forward to new understandings.</p>
<h3>Role Models For Bravery and Courage</h3>
<p>The obvious thinkers that we can name in the cosmic area are Gallileo and Copernicus. These are very famous examples from a very long time ago. But together, they created a major shift in thinking shifting the view that the Earth was at the center of the universe, to an understanding that the Earth rotated around the Sun.</p>
<p>Think about what these individuals faced when creating and promoting their theories. Their ideas shook the structure of their society. Their ideas shook the power centers of society. Their ideas changed our world.</p>
<h3>The Old Is About to Give Way&#8230; It&#8217;s a Perfect Time to Imagine the New</h3>
<p>When I look at what those pursuing independent investigative journalism today are encountering in terms of challenges, I think back to these two individuals from centuries ago. It seems that today&#8217;s environment is just that intense.</p>
<p>It is that intense, right now, because the old thinking and the old ways of being are about to give way. This is when the tension is the greatest. New thinking and ways of looking at concepts and situations is sweeping our societies because of how this resonates as truth for so many. For many, there is a strong feeling of knowing or a feeling resonance in their hearts.</p>
<p>Right now, during these times of intense stretching when we are in the throes of a shift, is when keeping on with what resonates with your heart, and holding the knowing you personally have of what is possible, is so important to us all.</p>
<p>It makes a difference that you energetically know, that you intend, that you are inspired, that you trust, that you have faith and that you love. These are the energies of creation, and focusing on what these are for you creates energetic fuel to create the New all around us, at first in subtle ways, and then, manifesting into the physical, little by little, until the momentum becomes unstoppable and the change is upon us.</p>
<p>Until one day, our world has changed.</p>
<p>I believe that our world is changing for the better.</p>
<h3>Role Models Applying Their Creativity in Ways That Inspire</h3>
<p>Einstein himself was far ahead of where science was at, during his time, and yet he was willing to believe in and trust his ‘thought experiments’. He had these visions and assumptions about reality long before he was able to pen them into mathematical equations proving his theories. Lucky for him, he married a woman who was a brilliant mathematician.</p>
<p>Examples abound of individuals with these qualities of bravery, courage, creativity and the ability to inspire in popular culture, and likely, in your everyday life.</p>
<p>Perhaps this also describes you. Someone willing to think differently. Someone willing to consider the &#8216;interesting stories&#8217;. Someone wanting to create the new in our world.</p>
<p>Did you know that you do this best, just by being your most authentic You?</p>
<p>Thank you for listening to my interesting stories. And thank you for sharing your interesting stories with me.</p>

<p><strong>The Sky Over Astoria</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m so pleased that we have a new guest photographer today, Anna Surwillo of <a href="http://www.heartcentricpath.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Heart Centric Path</a>.  She took this stunning photo of the skies over Astoria, Queens recently.</p>
<p>Anna and I had a good chat by email about what we were each seeing in this photo, and we&#8217;d love to share this conversation with you.</p>
<p><strong>Why guest photographers?  </strong></p>
<p>My purpose in having guest photographers, is to share what people are seeing or feeling, looking at the sky.</p>
<p>In addition, I want you to know, that when you look up and see and feel things that others around you maybe don&#8217;t see and feel, that it can be nice to know that you have unseen friends of the heart, who are looking up, and maybe even noticing the same things you do.  And, like in this case for me, they may be located all the way across the country &#8211; in Queens!</p>
<p>When we share, we get to hear the unique perspective of those who share the same passion, and it broadens the conversation, but most importantly, it is fun.</p>
<p><em>Love, Solaris</em></p>
<p><strong>Interview with Anna Surwillo </strong></p>
<p><strong>Solaris</strong>:  Anna, wow, what an intense sky you photographed!!  Thank so much for agreeing to do this interview.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure where to begin asking you about this photo &#8211; I can see why you took it, as there is so much going on in the sky!!</p>
<p><strong>Anna</strong>:  First of all, I LOVE to look at the skies. We have big windows with a southern exposure, which means I get to see a big chunk of the sky from the living room. Sometimes I just lay on the couch and stare at the passing by clouds. I took that photo because the colors were very beautiful, there was softness in them. I loved the yellow color. I sat on the windowsill and just stared at sky. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Not sure if I saw any specific thing when starting to photograph this sky.</p>
<p><strong>Solaris</strong>:  That&#8217;s interesting and I can relate to what you are saying.  Sometimes I just have a feeling, and I point my camera towards the sky and start clicking.</p>
<p><strong>Anna:</strong>  I was in awe of the beauty. I was mesmerized. I sighed. I feel like the elementals respond to us and what’s going on within us.</p>
<p>Actually what appears in the sky for me (quite frequently) are heart clouds. I’ve seen a unicorn, too. I captured a dragon (I think that’s what it was, or at least what it looked like to me &#8211; some kind of creature for sure!). Once, I got angel wings right above the building I used to live in.</p>
<p>The sky is like a big canvas, on which beautiful creations appear. I love its transitory nature. One gets to glimpse briefly, and then, poof! it disappears.</p>
<p><strong>Solaris</strong>:  It is interesting to read how connected you are with the elementals.  I have gotten a couple of dragons and wings too, but not a unicorn!!  I always feel more connected to the feathery slyphs and the galactic energies.</p>
<p><strong>Anna</strong>:  Yes, the connection with elemental seems to be pretty solid at this point. I‘m looking forward to deepening it even more.</p>
<p><strong>Solaris</strong>:  I feel that the camera responds to our energies &#8211; that we interact at the level of consciousness and energy with the technology &#8211; and that is why certain people can produce certain types of photos.  In addition, I feel that these energies in the sky interact with us also &#8211; so that when we are interacting from the heart &#8211; which is exactly what you described &#8211; they can appear for us.</p>
<p>But &#8211; not for too long, as you also stated, because we wouldn&#8217;t want to impinge on the free will of those who aren&#8217;t ready to see them &#8211; or something like that, lol. I find that too, where I have to take the picture quickly because the shapes will change &#8211; and they change <em>after</em> I have seen them and consciously recognized them- rather than them just being in motion.</p>
<p><strong>Anna</strong>:  I totally agree with your statement that camera responds to our energies and so do elementals. I’ve noticed that the times when I felt love and a deep sense of connectedness with all that is, that’s when elementals gifted me with something like a heart made of clouds. Which is beyond priceless!</p>
<p>It is so true we cannot &#8220;impinge on the free will” of other people. Not everyone sees what I see, lets say the heart cloud. I&#8217;m usually the first one to point it out, lol.</p>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3672 size-full" src="https://solarismodalis.comwp-content/uploads/2017/07/anna-surwillo-sky-over-astoria-queens-450.jpg" alt="anna surwillo sky over astoria queens" width="600" height="450" srcset="https://solarismodalis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/anna-surwillo-sky-over-astoria-queens-450.jpg 600w, https://solarismodalis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/anna-surwillo-sky-over-astoria-queens-450-450x338.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Solaris</strong>:  You know, in your photo, I also see very intense energies &#8211; I see dense energies that are clearing.  I see geometric shapes and energy movements.  A lot of time those dark but transparent clouds are energies clearing, as I perceive it.  My sense, in this photo, is that there is a lot of dense energies on the ground that are being lifted or transmuted in coordination with what is going on in the sky.  This energy comes across as very intense for me.</p>
<p>Also, the circle to the lower right and to the right of the bridge is interesting &#8211; it is in a saucer shape if you include the sky space.</p>
<p>It is also interesting how the sky is lit up in the center of the photo, yet the sun is below the horizon (it seems).  For me, there is something very interesting going on in the center of the photo.  It almost seems like the light in the photo&#8217;s center is much brighter than it should be for where the sun is at that time.</p>
<p>I feel that this is a kind of &#8216;light presence&#8217; of energy &#8211; it can be associated with sky elementals or it can be associated with people on the ground or energies, on the ground or in the sky, of a higher frequency than the surrounding area.</p>
<p>What I sense is energies emitting from that center, and I can see a pattern there that reflects that.  These lighter energies and the energy patterns in the sky assist with the clearing of the denser ground energies, that then lift off in a transparent black cloud type formation.</p>
<p><strong>Anna</strong>:  Regarding your analysis, yes, I agree there is intensity to the image.  Actually, it’s interesting that you mentioned: &#8220;a lot of times those dark but transparent clouds are energies clearing, as I perceive it.” I agree completely. I’ve seen those dark but transparent clouds many times and had a thought that it was clearing of sorts. It’s great to have this confirmation. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Sometimes, I have my moments of doubt, like, who else could be possibly seeing that? LOL!</p>
<p>There is clearing going on for sure, after all this in New York City area. The image was taken in Astoria, Queens.</p>
<p>Now that you’re pointing out the center and how it’s lit up. I can see that. I still remember the pastel like, soft yellow colors that sky was covered by.  Awww, beautiful. I hope there is the presence of higher energies in the area, this city needs it. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>It’s interesting that sometimes, the sky has a soft violet tint to it, sometimes yellow, pink or blueish; you never know what you’re gonna get.  And, there are times like today, where it’s grey and very gloomy and raining &#8211; quite timely given the Lunar Eclipse we are having today, as I write this, all the release and shedding going on.</p>
<p><strong>Solaris</strong>:  Anna, thank you so much for sharing both your photo and your experience with us!!  I am so grateful to you for doing so.  It is wonderful as well to have photos on my blog that are from the New York City area, and to share our resonant experiences.</p>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3780 size-medium alignleft" src="https://solarismodalis.comwp-content/uploads/2017/08/Anna-Surwillo-GrandCanyon262_RavenMe-450x341.jpg" alt="Anna and Raven" width="450" height="341" srcset="https://solarismodalis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Anna-Surwillo-GrandCanyon262_RavenMe-450x341.jpg 450w, https://solarismodalis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Anna-Surwillo-GrandCanyon262_RavenMe.jpg 594w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" />Anna and Raven</strong></p>
