For art lovers, there's a bite size painting exhibit going on now at the beautiful Mission Hills / Hillcrest Knox Library. Local artist Lauren Elyse S. has work from the past two years on view under the theme "Quiet Alchemy" - if you're interested in a little daydream, stop by and enjoy the show. It runs from September 3rd to November 25th and can be seen during regular library hours. For a preview, you can check out her work via her website and socials - laurenelyseart.com and @laurenelyseart Here's the artist's own words on the paintings displayed: In whose mind does there not exist enchanted vaults? My own is a nebulous space, where live blurred impressions and hazy, lamp-lit notions, imagination holding court alongside ember’d passions, all brewing quietly — often impatiently — awaiting sublimation. Transmutation of thought into painted existence is, for me, an alchemical turn — a suggestion of magic in this world for those who would see it. Should any doubt this, I offer fireflies. Featuring scenes of San Diego and farther afield, painted both en plein air and from echoes of memory, to representations of a love of books, the small hours of night, and a curtain drawn back on personal tableaus — these paintings are a gathering of quicksilver moments, longings and musings, drawn out through a bit of quiet alchemy. In the archaic sense.

The colorful ranunculus are at peak bloom and open to the public until Mother's Day.

“Consciousness is not computational.” ― Roger Penrose, mathematician and theoretical physicist Join our monthly fellowship as we share metaphysical insights from the Divine on a variety of topics and current affairs. This month, Dimitri will explore the explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the spiritual perspective. The growing sophistication of modern computing power has given rise to much speculation both in terms of potential for society and what it means for intelligence itself. Some have gone on to say not only are these systems intelligent but potentially conscious and self-aware. Yet from the metaphysical perspective to have intelligence, you have to have life. Computers are not alive and never will be. So what is really happening here The advances in AI is not first a call for computers; it’s a call for us. It’s a call to raise the bar of our own intelligence. As a civilization, we have entered into an era of great spiritual opportunity. To succeed, we need to develop the greater powers of our own mind and elevate our consciousness to new heights. Rightly used, AI can be a wonderful tool to help strengthen the power of mind. Meditations with Divine Light, world prayers and music will be part of the fellowship. There has never been a better time to pursue your soul’s growth. We welcome you in the great spiritual adventure! Visit: Golden Chalice Fellowship – Is Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent ? Spiritual Arts Institute on Instagram and Facebook
