Signs and Evidence – Salvador Dali

As you all may know by now I am ever vigilant in noting “the intuitive signs” that I experience in my daily life. Some people call this “living in the now, in the present moment or total awareness”.

One personal experience that occurred in 2009 was in relation to Salvador Dali, which I had put off writing about but I think is very appropriate now because more “signs” are appearing on this Master of Surrealism.

I did not know this artist in the past but here is the unscripted story of how I am “experiencing Salvador Dali”.

I had gone to my husbands cousins house who wanted some help in creating a new garden in their home.  During the day I noticed my husbands nephew and neice were constructing art projects for school homework. One was creating a Golden Egyptian Pyramid and the other child was working on creating a clay based Fluid Clock by Salvador Dali.  My nephew asked for some help from me but I told him “No, I can’t help you, it has to come from your own heart”! With that I left to go do some shopping with my sister-in-law at the greenhouse. I remember she wanted to buy a cherry tree for her garden and we did purchase one.  When we returned a beautiful fluid clock had been created by our nephew and he mentioned “it came from my heart”!

A few days later as I was walking through Chapters/Indigo Bookstore a book caught my attention with the front cover displaying the fluid clock that our nephew had created, the exact replica of the same image!  Below is the front cover of the book showing the fluid clock in the painting The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory, 1952-1954 by Dali.

I found the book incredibly interesting, his depiction of surrealism is quite eye opening. 

An interesting quote from the book:   “The fact that I myself don’t immediately understand my paintings does not imply that they have any meaning. On the contrary, their meaning is so deep, systematic, and complex that their interpretation requires scientific knowledge . . .  They are the precise expression of a secret, symbolic language of the subconscious”. – Salvador Dali, 1976

One morning, I opened a page depicting the Burning Giraffe painting by Dali.   Straight afterwards I went for my morning jog in the country lane behind our estate and guess what … I found a toy giraffe on the floor also near a piece of blue string that looked like a cross.  This was quite startling and creepy.   Intuitively I thought “analyze exactly where you found the giraffe”. As I looked around I found a sign for the children’s Montessori School at the exact location of the “evidence”.

The Burning Giraffe painting I was admiring by Dali:

The Giraffe I found with the blue string:

When I came home I looked up the Montessori schooling method which is an educational approach to children based on the research and experiences of Italian physician and educator, Maria Montessori (1870–1952). It arose essentially from Dr. Montessori’s discovery of what she referred to as “the child’s true normal nature” in 1907, which happened in the process of her experimental observation of young children given freedom in an environment prepared with materials designed for their self-directed learning activity that sustains and supports their true natural way of being. Applying this method involves the teacher in viewing the child as having an inner natural guidance for its own perfect self-directed development.

What does it mean?   Children have an inner intuitive nature like we all do.  We must help preserve the true Spirit of our children whether at home or in our educational system. As parents and adults we must not cover up the “shining diamonds” looking to shine through each child. We must nuture them in such a way that they are allowed to “bring out what is already within them” that is part of the whole and the Universal Oneness Factor looking to express itself “through us”.

I have realized that synchronicity does not stop with single “evidence”.  Everything in the Universe is connected to something else. A bigger picture view or message for humanity. We must all learn to intuitively pay attention and be vigilant everyday so we can grasp the nature of the information that is presented into our reality. Then we must connect the dots and take action working towards the ONENESS of humanity.

In November 2009, 14 Dali statues were air lifted to the Courchevel, French Alps Ski resort for an exhibition.  The interesting thing is the way the exhibit is mentioned on the site:  “The “Dali au Sommet” exhibition will bring 7 original “monumental” works (up to 7 m high!) and 7 original “museum” works by Salvador Dali to the Courchevel resort and ski area.  Note the numbers represent 777. Remember he said in his own words his work ” was the precise expression of a secret, symbolic language of the subconscious”.   Do the numbers 777 have meaning?  I believe so. However, perhaps the reader might want to do some of their own intuitive investigation into this topic and connect back with me to exchange and explore the Truth being revealed! 

The reason I mention to take note of the “words” used to portray the exhibit is because I was featured in the Guelph Mercury for a toilet project and I realized after that personal “experience” that the Intelligent Universe was “operating through me” and asking me to take action, this is called giving up your Free Will!  So do I believe that a higher Truth is looking to be discovered as a result of this exhibit at this location? Absolutely. What is it?  I’m not sure yet.

The real question is WHY, are the statues at this location, nothing is an accident in life but synchronization of a higher Truth. Watch the interesting video of the statues being airlifted and being set up here.   The Alice in Wonderland and the Space Elephant pieces are very intriguing.

I highly recommend viewing the Dali Universe  site in London to see more of this geniuses masterful creations.

I recently discovered Salvador – Bahia site - note my maiden name was Bahia.  Perhaps some long lost ancestory yet to be discovered, who knows yet, but life is very exciting living in the NOW!

I will keep this post updated as and when more “evidence” on this exploratory trail is discovered.  Be vigilant watch for the “signs”.

Let Go. Simply Trust Life.
