About me:
After studying video art at the Cinema Department of the Paris University VIII, I spent about twenty years collaborating with the Review “L’Originel” and with the publishing company “L’Originel/Charles Antoni”.
At the same time I attended Jacques Ravatin’s course on Forms and Fields of Coherence (attached to what is usually called “Waves forms”) and I participated in the Association “Arkologie” (inspired by this form of thinking).
Propitiatory art consists of finding, above the symbol, the esthetics, the emotion or the real concept, the first function of art : acting upon reality lost in times. Propitiatory art links the XXIrst century and the art from the caverns. By acting upon the Form it sets a favourable climate to ones ventures.
Because of it’s structure a “simple” fractal image generates high intensity “waves forms” associated with the intention and we are then, in the presence of a superpowerful object to resolve problems or to grant wishes.
The propitiatory mandala is living matter, it is especially calculated to resolve precise problems. It works by itself, does not need any particular handling but, deliberately set to the intimate vibration of the person concerned, it is also a particularly appropriate means for meditation.
Each mandala is unique, calculated in relation to one’s birthdate, it’s price is also calculated just before being achieved.
One aims for Goodness but without any guarantee ; the parameters one finds can be more or less restricting, the artist gets by with what he has been imposed .
I have never studied medecine and thus can not heal. But I have the skills to create favourable conditions so that the medical practice is properly carried out
Concerning affection comebacks and other love stories ? I think there exists very competent marabouts...
TESTIMONY
I’ve known Nathalie Dau (fantasy french writer) for many years. Even though she had published many very convincing texts, this fiction writer felt totally transparent and suffered from a lack of recognition which was affecting her moral. Feeling sympathetic, I then talked to her about my mandalas and offered to create one for her. She thought “why not ?” and decided to try it out.
A year later, she very proudly announced to me , that her works were being published one after another and were getting excellent reviews. To her great surprise she was awarded with the “Merlin Prize” for novelwriting and , during a SF convention , got a warm welcoming which went straight to her heart. Many professional offers from publishers have already been confirmed for 2007. From now onwards , she thinks that , at last , she is taking off.
Positive influence of my mandala ? This is what Nathalie offered me as an answer when I enquired about her feelings : Nathalie's blog
Translation :
Mandala Monday, Aug 28
In the blue brightness of it’s ink . In the meanders of it’s spires, in the mystery of it’s fractal combinations, nests the infinite presence, transcended kindness and especially the goodness of the one who invested himself as the go between.
The gift of friendship, which adds to all the other gifts of given friendships.
There is no more beautiful treasure. Nor better amulet.
The mingling of loved and loving thoughts. Warm looks, smiles. The brilliant sincerity shining more than a hundred suns. This is the most efficient exorcism.
I was afraid of becoming forty . It has been magical thanks to each of you.
But I don’t know how to make speeches, nor how to express clearly my feelings through words.
So, I would like to thank again all those who know, those who have helped my eyes shine, who have decorated my life with the Merlin portrait.
And I wish you in return all the happiness which you
have given me.
Nathalie's mandala
Après des études d'art vidéo au département Cinéma de l'Université Paris VIII, j'ai été pendant une vingtaine d’années collaborateur de la revue L'Originel et des éditions L'Originel Charles Antoni.
Parallèlement, j'ai suivi les cours de Jacques Ravatin sur les Formes et les Champs de Cohérence (se rattachant à ce qui est usuellement nommé « ondes de formes ») et participé à l'association Arkologie (inspirée par cette forme de pensée).
Ce « cursus » me permet aujourd'hui de proposer mon aide sous une forme originale et particulièrement performante : le mandala propitiatoire (qui rend propice).
L'art propitiatoire consiste à retrouver, au-delà du symbole, de l'esthétique, de l'émotion ou de l'actuel « concept », la fonction première de l’art : l’action sur le réel, perdue au cours des âges. L'art propitiatoire fait le pont entre la technologie du XXIe siècle et l'art des cavernes. Par une action sur la Forme il s’agit d’instaurer un climat favorable à vos entreprises.
De par sa structure, une « simple » image fractale génère des « ondes de formes » de haute intensité ; qu'y soit associée l'intention, et nous nous trouvons alors en présence d'un objet surpuissant pour la résolution des problèmes ou la réalisation des voeux..
Le mandala propitiatoire est une matière vivante, il est spécialement calculé pour la solution de problèmes précis. Il agit par lui-même, ne nécessite pas de manipulation particulière mais, délibérément réglé sur la vibration intime de la personne concernée, c’est aussi un support de méditation particulièrement approprié.
Chaque mandala est unique, calculé à partir des coordonnées de naissance, son prix aussi est calculé à chaque fois avant sa réalisation.
Le beau est visé mais pas garanti ; les paramètres trouvés étant plus ou moins contraignants, l’artiste fait avec ce qui lui est donné.
Je n’ai pas fait d’études de médecine et ne puis donc pas guérir. Mais créer les conditions propices au bon déroulement de la pratique de votre médecin est dans mes cordes.
Pour ce qui est des retours d’affection et autres histoires d’amour, il est des marabouts très compétents, je pense...
TEMOIGNAGE
Je connais Nathalie depuis plusieurs années. Bien qu'ayant publié plusieurs textes convaincants, cet auteur de fantasy avait l'impression d'être totalement transparente, et souffrait d'un manque de reconnaissance qui affectait son moral. Touché, je lui ai alors parlé de mes mandalas, et lui ai proposé d'en créer un pour elle. Elle a choisi de tenter le coup, en se disant « pourquoi pas ? ».
Un an plus tard, elle m'annonça, très fière, avoir enchaîné les publications et avoir eu d'excellents retours. A sa grande stupeur, elle fut même proclamée lauréate du prix Merlin de la nouvelle, et rencontra, lors de la Convention de SF, un accueil dont la gentillesse lui fit chaud au coeur. Plusieurs publications professionnelles lui ont déjà été confirmées pour début 2007. Désormais, elle pense être enfin sur la pente ascendante.
Influence bénéfique de mon mandala ? Voici ce que Nathalie m'a offert en réponse, lorsque j'ai voulu connaître son sentiment : le blog de Nathalie
"Natura naturans may be viewed as the continuously striving, ever-changing nature, yearning towards higher things, which thus brings about an unending and uninterrupted movement towards betterment, caused by the inner spiritual urge at the heart of beings to express throughout endless time ever fuller manifestations of latent power and faculty; whereas natura naturata is nature considered arbitrarily at any point in time and space, such as the continuous present, being nature as it is at such arbitrarily chosen point."
hello Marchal ... march for orchestra on D ... all the notes, arranged in a box, some leaking out and some not, spontaneous orchestrated combustion ... Thank Mozart, my mind won't rot ... excuse me while i listen ;)
hello Marchal ... running into a hallway, only to find many doors, not stuck there forever, might as well paint the walls ... excuse me while i reorder my words ;)
Come one come all to the Cosmic Carousel. You don't need tickets to ride, just your thoughts, your soul, your mind. Step right up, for your free ride. Candied apples for your delight-cotton candy fair...
...merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.
... happy SUN day Marchal , pull some images from the sound, plop them on the ground, do not step on them, unless you wish profound ... excuse me while i clean my brushes ;)
