Extracts from
"Light over
water" :
"Should all people on Earth
share the same belief,
or understand the true meaning
of love?"
***
Faith is indispensable, faith of a simple heart,
not the belief that would close your eyes,
if truth denied it.
Humbleness is not submission to another,
but to the truth in oneself.
***
One prisoner said to another:
-Above me, only my Church, my priest.
The other said:
-Above me, my country, my general.
A free man said:
-Above me, only the truth.
***
Who is loyal, a believer or a friend ?
Is it loyal who agrees beforehand
with everything you do or say,
or who justly sees you and discerns
what is right or wrong in what you do or say ?
***
There is
no justice without love,
no love without justice.
Belief is what one thinks to be the truth.
Love is the Truth.
***
A philosopher does not need to kill someone
for thinking differently than himself… nor a wise man.
The most intelligent way to combat evil
is to create spiritual self-awareness, not to kill or torture people.
By killing you do not enlighten
or awake the consciousness of someone.
How can you create awareness in a dead person?
Extracts of a book:
”Light over water” by van Chapman
the
Holy Spirit?
Love is
timeless. And in timelessness we are equal.
Only in
time we may differ.
All people are
essentially equal, as in fact all conscious life is equal,
since any
consciousness in a creature is just consciousness.
Only the objects of
consciousness differ,
and can infinitely
differ from each other.
In the same way,
thought is just thought,
no matter how many
things it is thinking.
Only the objects of
thought can differ,
infinitely from
each other.
All human
consciousness consists of the same elements:
an element of
awareness, of love,
and an element of
thought, of ego.
Love is a form of
consciousness,
as consciousness is
a form of love,
but though thought
forms may arise from love,
thought forms
themselves are not necessarily
forms of
consciousness, nor forms of love,
for they may cause
illusion and separation and darkness
rather than
awareness, union and light.
Human consciousness
consists of the same elements
in one degree or
another: consciousness and thought,
love and ego.
It is only the
proportion in these which, in time, may differ in people.
In a given moment,
one might manifest more or less clear awareness.
more or less
prejudice, false or unclear thought.
The personality or
ego is a thought form.
Even our physical
form is a materialization of our personality,
of our thought
forms.
What we call egoism
is not consciousness but a reaction
of a thought form,
like the reflection of an unclear mirror.
Though we can
differ infinitely from each other in thoughts,
in ideas about what
is and in beliefs,
in awareness we are
one.
Beliefs are many, love is one.
Because thought
forms may differ infinitely,
so long as we
identify our identity with the form,
the ego, the
nationality, the religion,
we will be in
conflict with other beings, other life forms.
people of other
nationality, other religions.
The universe is the
subject and the object in itself.
When the object of
consciousness is consciousness itself,
it reaches peace
within itself and in relation to the
other consciousness
in the universe,
which are all part
of its higher self..
If any one thinks this text is
against the Islam or Judaism or Christianity, one is wrong.
It is the love for power
itself what degenerates the Islam, as well as Judaism and Christianity,
any religion or regime, or in
that respect, any relationship.
The power of love is the power
of clarity, light and progress.
The love for power, the power
of darkness, decadence:
The love for power degradates
the power of love.
Hate is the
false prophet,
love alone is holy.
Humbleness is not submission to another,
but to the truth in oneself.

A resolution to live in harmony
with the beauty of nature’
Our philosophy
We are not concerned with fashion in art.
We are concerned with the essential questions of today and all time,
as spiritual self awareness
We are touched not only by the beauty of nature
but also by the nobility and purity of mind and heart,
the beauty of the soul, of inner truth.
van Chapman
Meditation:
Opening words
When opening a
gallery of contemporary art, it is relevant to ask:
What is
contemporary, or modern? What is art?
More than ever in
human History is the need to care for nature, if we care for each other.
It may be a
contemporary fashion in art to break away from aesthetic, ethic and compassion.
But the need to
overcome the limited views of our ego is timeless.
The need to
overcome our personal ego pride,
which separates
our hearts from one another,
is always modern,
always actual.
Art , or politics,
or beliefs that promote the arrogance and pride of non spiritual values,
instead of love
and reason, are not creating but retarding the evolution of mankind.
In some closed
circles, modern artists are supposed to follow the fashion,
or they are not
considered artists.
Bureaucrats are
supposed to be loyal to forms and formularies.
Politicians must
swear loyalty to the Constitution law of their country.
Religious
fundamentalists and terrorists should sacrifice their reason to their Belief.
But love is none
of that. What is love?
It is true: one
knows his true friends, when one has no money.
We may earn money
with what we do, with art or anything else.
But we cannot
create beauty and peace in our lives nor in the world,
if we only work
for money, without ethics.
The value of a
person, of an artist, is not in his bank account.
Love is the value
of a true person, and of a true artist.
For humanity to
find true union and peace, we all ought to be concerned
with the
sensibility that can treasure the beauty of Nature,
the beauty of the
spirit, and of the heart.
St Augustine once
has said: 'Love, and do what you want'.
If we can clearly
see that certain fashions, traditions or cultures are based on futilities,
why should we
imitate them?
If we clearly see
that certain rules, even if in our constitutional laws, are in conflict with
love,
why should we
follow them?
For example, if a
country takes in, legalizes prostitution, as long as it is an income-bringing
profession,
but denies to take
in or legalize an artist if he is not commercial and has not an income bringing
profession,
then this
country's reasoning is not better than that of prostitute.
When people or
artists, are concerned with futilities, they have forgotten
that before we are
artists, bureaucrats, politicians, we are humans.
And we ought to be
humane, in order to deserve the title of being humans.
More than ever in
human history is the need to care for nature,
as a way to care
for all living consciousnesses.
Love is the light
of Nature: the beauty of Nature.
Love and nature
are our teachers.
What I am saying
is that every one is an artist,
because they must
follow the inspiration
of the love in
their hearts.
and that no one is
an artist when he does not.
Be welcome to help
us to better serve the world,
to grow in
inspiration and in the quality of art.
Love to you.

Van Chapman,
Paula meditating by a golden river
*
Hate is
the false prophet,
Love,
the true master.
(This prayer below was found by
me once
on a news-paper clip on the
streets in Brazil.)
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, you who make
everything clear to me,
who enlighten my path that I may
reach my idea)
You who give me the divine gift
of forgiving
and forgetting the evil that is
done to me,
and who is with me every moment
of my life,
in this brief dialogue , let me
thank You
and confirm once more that I
never want to part
from You,
and however great the material
illusion, it will not be
the least of the wish I feel to
be with You
and all my brothers, in the
perpetual glory.
Thank You once more.
(The person must make this
prayer during
3 consecutive days, without
saying the request,
and within 3 days the grace will
be attained,
however difficult it may be.
Publish (if you will) when the
grace is received.)
Thank You, Divine Holy Spirit
