Cyberstarlet

Founder of Whale of a Time / Environmental Scientist / Artist

As an artist I naturally feel drawn towards creating artwork, which conveys a deeper meaning of life depicting cultural and environmental issues.

My motto is to go with the flow. I tend to follow my inner guidance and use my creative power to express myself.

I enjoy a variety of ways to express myself, including digital arts, audio, animation, painting, drawing, photography and sculpture. My favourite material that i love to use is clay. When I’m shaping this earthy material in my hands I feel in touch with my vision. Then art feels like meditation and I become one with my expression. Through the process of creating art I have come to learn about myself and push myself to the limit and beyond boundaries that i didn’t know.

I founded Whale of a Time in 2007 with the aim to make a difference in this world and to raise awareness of endangered species through creative workshops on environmental issues. My intention is to inspire people to connect with their inner artistic voice and guidance by modelling endangered species in clay. Everybody is an artist and harnessing the creative power within ourselves can open up gates and new pathways in our lives. By tuning into that space of awareness about the Earth and other sentient beings it would allow us to unlock a certain empathy towards this creatures that we share our planet with and induce some kind of tender care of them and our environment.


Leap of Consciousness

Cyberstarlet’s sculpture

Title: Leap of Consciousness

Description:

My inspiration to create this sculpture is rooted in depicting the feeling of peace, freedom and harmony. It’s title “Leap of Consciousness” implying awareness of our interconnectedness with all life. To become conscious - "Sentio Ergo Sum" *) - "I feel therefore I am". By feeling empathy, we are able to connect with others and the world around us.

The Leap of Consciousness represents a moment of feeling peace with oneself surrendering to deeper awareness. Peace is a reflection of your most inner state of being. Through meditation one may feel centred, grounded, open and aware. By finding inner peace we may become conscious of our interconnectedness with all life. By feeling at peace we may be able to be compassionate with others. As Albert Einstein once said, “Our task must be to widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” We all share a common emotional and spiritual intelligence with all beings on Earth.

By tuning into peace energy, we are surrounded by harmony. This feeling of peace and harmony goes hand in hand with experiencing freedom of mind, freedom of existing and accepting who we are. There’s ongoing work to do as we are growing and evolving in life, whether this be on an individual or generational basis. Shedding old behaviour and attitudes or cultures that are destructive and thus aren’t needed anymore can be hard work. Through meditation and yoga practices we are able to delve deep within ourselves discovering new spaces and creating new awareness.

Life is about expanding consciousness. Through our interactions energies are exchanged, we manifest and grow with experiences. We reflect each other. I see you in me. I see me in you. It’s like seeing oneself in a mirror which allows us to grow in developing empathy and awareness on different levels. By sending love, peace, happiness, freedom, respect and acceptance we're sending these energies back to ourselves. May your life path be guided and blessed with peace, love and harmony.

*) "Cogito ergo sum" meaning, "I think, therefore I am" is a philosophical Latin statement proposed by René Descartes in the 17th century. This expression implies that the simple thought of wondering about one's existence is proof of one's existence. However we may never fully become aware of being alive by thinking. Through experience and by feeling we are connected wholly. "Sentio Ergo Sum" - "I feel therefore I am". By feeling empathy, we are able to connect with others.

Anima Mundi - World Soul

Cyberstarlet‘s Drawing and Paintings

Title: Anima Mundi - World Soul - Alma del Mundo - Âme du Monde - Weltseele

Description:

Interconnectedness describes it all. This drawing tells the story of spiritual and biological connection between all life on Earth. The trees symbolising the lungs of the earth - oxygen providing and life supporting. As life is born and vanishes - energies come into being and leave biologically speaking through the body. Perhaps our spirits are living on. The whole life experience is part of one super organism, world consciousness or world soul that each being is part of.

Reference in other cultures:

"The World Soul (Greek: psyche tou pantós; Latin: Anima mundi) is, according to several systems of thought, an intrinsic connection between all living things on the planet, which relates to our world in much the same way as the soul is connected to the human body. The idea originated with Plato and was an important component of most Neoplatonic systems: Therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.[1]

The Stoics believed it to be the only vital force in the universe. Similar concepts also hold in systems of eastern philosophy in the Brahman-Atman of Hinduism, and in the School of Yin-Yang, Taoism, and Neo-Confucianism as qi.

Other resemblances can be found in the thoughts of hermetic philosophers like Paracelsus, and by Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz and by Friedrich Schelling (1775-1854). There are also similarities with ideas developed since the 1960s by Gaia theorists such as James Lovelock."
