This portrait represents the magic of seeing signs and using our sixth sense. We use this expression very often but what do we mean? Your sixth sense is that intuition, that feeling you get sometimes that tells you if something will go right or wrong, if you can trust someone or not. It’s something that doesn’t come from your logical thinking, but somewhere deeper; something that appears to be always there but you never listen to it, because you have been taught to ignore it, to listen only to the logical side of the brain. Our education system is totally based on rational thinking, so it promotes and rewards the proper use of logic while ignoring emotional intelligence or any kind of intuitive or instinct-based feelings. We will delve deeper into this concept when we analyze the portrait of Horrible Adorables. There is a time to learn and a time to unlearn. At some point in your life, you realize some of the things you have learned are wrong, and you must change them. Suppressing your intuition and your emotional intelligence is one of those things. We live in a world that only considers the rational and physical side of things as if the rest didn’t exist. But now even science is telling us that what we can actually perceive is a very small percentage of reality. Deep inside we have always known that there is more to life than this. That’s why this mystical journey feels like reconnecting with a part of you that has been sleeping. It has this familiar feeling, like going back to an ancient place where you know you have been before, but you had totally forgotten about it, about its existence. You start using your heart again, but you know it has always been there. We have forgotten who we truly are, this physical world has fooled us into thinking we are just a person, but we are so much more than that, we are the conscience experiencing reality and feelings through that person. One way of reconnecting with this forgotten inner wisdom is to start looking for signs. This portrait of Peca represents the intuitive capacity we all have of seeing those signs, seeing the unseen. Peca is an Argentinian pop-surreal artist based in Barcelona. She’s vegetarian and has a terrace with a little garden where she plants peppers, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables. Her cosmic style and her magical world full of spiritual animals, shooting stars and beings of light takes us on a journey to a world of dreams more real than the real world, where the borders between reality and fantasy are blurred out. A space between dimensions where we receive visits of beings from far far away who can bring messages and wisdom. They can come through dreams or even signs while we are awake. You just have to realize the message is there for you. What happens in our life are not just random events, everything is connected, there is synchronicity. If we think everything that happens are just random separated events, life just happens to us; when we discover the existence of synchronicity, we start taking control of our lives, we start creating our own future. When you are thinking about something or are about to do something and you suddenly hear or read some words somewhere, it happens for a reason. It can be anything that calls your attention, a writing on a wall saying “today will be a beautiful day” that captures your awareness while you are walking in the morning, a slogan on a bus top ad that says "just go for it!" that you read while considering if you should do something, a piece of a conversation or a sentence you hear on the street or on the TV. But where do these messages come from? Is it some kind of supernatural entity? Is God talking to us? Well, the most amazing thing is that these messages actually come from yourself. The external world contains so much information that our brain filters what we perceive. We don’t have the capacity of processing 100% of what we see. When you read that bus stop ad saying “just go for it!” while thinking about something, you are ignoring all the people waiting for the bus, and the kid crossing the street on a bike, and the trees on the park behind the bus stop, and just about anything except that text. Your brain decided to focus your attention on that message for some reason. That message which is exactly what you needed to read at that moment, those words which are showing you the way to go. Have you ever thought why when you are reading a book or watching a movie there is a specific line that totally captures your full attention? Those words resonate inside you and are engraved in your mind. Then you talk about that book or movie with a friend and they don't even recall that phrase. Why are our memories so different if we read the same book or saw the same movie? Because the "external" world is not separated from your mind, your brain decides which part of it you need to see at any given time. The inner world and the outer world are actually intertwined, we just have the illusion they are separated. All is full of messages for you. You just have to start paying attention, your brain filters reality in a very intelligent way to show you what you need. It’s like seeing the Moon in broad daylight. Do you know how often the Moon is visible during the day? Nearly every day! But how often do we see it? Maybe once a month? Why? Just because we are not looking for it, we are not expecting to see it, that’s why we don’t. What about shooting stars? How often can they be seen? Every ten minutes! You just have to open your eyes and you will start seeing all these things, and even more. Because when you pay attention using your six senses, you will start perceiving things that didn’t appear to be there at first sight, and your life will start changing, you will start seeing the world with different eyes. According to the Second Universal Law, the law of correspondence (as above, so below), if you want to change the world you must change yourself. By changing your vision of the world, the world changes, never forget the importance of the observer. You will start seeing things you didn’t see before in stories, movies, books... everywhere. You will start noticing those subtle messages you didn’t notice before, and you will realize many people actually know the secret of life, the secret of magic: only those who believe in it can see it.
