This painting called "In Harmony" is part of the Falun Art Exhibit. Does it look like that peaceful girl should be tortured and killed? How about have her organs harvested and sold? She is empowering herself - mind, body and spirit - liberating herself, health, intelligence and mind!

I enjoyed a pleasure of meeting and talking with the painter of this image tonight. A showing of such art, including many torture scenes perpetrated by the Chinese government, is now on exhibit at the Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The exhibit will be showing for about the remainder of the month. There will be a movie showing and panel discussion event along with a closing ceremony this month as well.
That artist of the above painting and the other scenes (many depicting the worst types of torture) are now on display after tonight. A couple Yale professors, many people from China, and practitioners of Falun Gong reminded me and others about the situation in China...
The communist party is afraid of revolution by the growing number of people who practice Qi Gong (a spiritual practice that helps the mind, health, power and intelligence like Tai Chi can but more advanced energetically, combining Taoism and Buddhism). The number of followers for this group grows daily around the world in many countries: the books, lessons, meetings, audio and video teachings for health, happiness and holiness are available FREE.
Still, however, in the China religion is outlawed. There is no justice here. There is no respect for the United Nations mandate on Human Rights, or any other international law when it comes to the communists trying to hold onto their power by practicing religious genocide, to this day, on people who practice Qi Gong. Of course, the president of America is not one to protest China's leadership either. Like Google.com Inc., he bows down before the censorship, injustice and cowardice of the Chinese regime.
This makes me wonder if the UN has much integrity either.
Many Christians, Buddhists (particularly Tibetan), and indigenous religions are being persecuted, tortured, run out of the country, jailed and murdered for their religious (and thus political) power in China. A Yale professor informed me, tonight, that 42 types of people are NOT WELCOME into China for the 2008 World Olympics.
Get this, one of the groups outlawed is: anyone who supports democracy in China.
How can this make sense on the world stage?
I would think everyone in the Olympics supports democracy and human rights in China and elsewhere, but will those people have the heart to maintain face? Or are they so concerned with physical sport and COMPETITION that the peaceful Olympic spirit will die in China?
The spirit of the Olympics is about inclusion. So, how can the world have an Olympics under this communist, dictator, terror-practicing, genocide supporting, oppresive regime? Does democracy even exist in the world? A growing number of people in America are realizing it does not quite exist. I.E. the murder of JFK, the domination of the Skull and Bones, the rigged election machines, the hoax election in 2000 and 2004, the inability to enact campaign finance reform...the list could go on forever.
Olympics are supposed to be about peace, harmony and freedom. Allowing the Olympics to take place in China with the genocide of Qi Gong practitioners, is akin to the WORLD saying "we give up" on freedom and have absolutely no backbone or leadership. This mother-ship Earth is headed for...! HINT: the opposite of heaven, salvation, bliss, healing compassion, tolerance (as is depicted in wonderful art above, and at the gallery).
The gallery showed hell and heaven - to be tortured and to be in bliss. What will win in your inner life? Your external life? In your state? country? on this world?
In the art, those who were doing the torturing had dark halos around their head - signs they will "get theres" and be punished in the afterlife. While, those who were practicing non-violent struggle in standing up for their religion, health and culture - enjoyed white light and bright halos around their heads. This was meant, to the artists, to signify their ascent to heaven.
A Yale professor told me, "this current situation is just like the Olympics in Europe during World War II" (when Jews, Gypsies, Blacks and Gays were not allowed to participate). Now anyone who vocalizes religious freedom and self-rule shall be blocked from participation. Or will they? Will the world stand up for religious justice? Or will this event force the Communists to change? because something MUST change (either the world or the communists). Justice? The law of heaven? the law of earth? What shall prevail? the law of humanity? as in human rights.
Might the world community protest China and not show up at the Olympics? In America, celebrities Richard Gere and Mia Farrow are urging a BOYCOTT and in India Tibetans and Buddhists are protesting. Now, with Darfur at central stage, the call to protest China is growing even louder.
In the end, China's communist-capitalist dualism will certainty have to be balanced out... from harvesting organs to making dangerous toys, there are numerous reasons to boycott rather than reward China. Any gold medals won in China will have the blood of religious freedom and torture splattered across them until justice is served in China. Organ harvesting during the Olympics is simply not acceptable and freedom of reporters in China is also important - though the Chinese WILL try to limit the word getting out about anything other than the games.
Will the communist party fall under world pressure from the Olympics/world? So much attention IS nourishing change. Surely, at the scene of the Olympics some real drama will go down with people protesting, getting abused, and the world looking on in horror. Or, the communists will be very careful - stay under the "radar" and not draw publicity. However, I am sure the protesters will be present at the Olympics. People who know about elite physical culture also know about Qi Gong and power dynamics. The Olympics just might PURIFY China and bring some semblance of justice to the country!
Democracy, freedom of religion, and the power of Qi Gong or preventative, universal health care is on the line in the clash of worlds coming to a fore in 2008. Qi gong awakens high powers of consciousness in humans, and people who practice it tend to be highly conscious and intelligent... this surely will be an interesting clash of worlds.
To learn more about the incredible scene of Qi Gong politics, contact me or see this recent book (and do keep in touch about what you learn on this subject, it is supremely fascinating!):

May peace and justice prevail on all levels and dimensions of existence.
