The ever-lasting power.

The ever-lasting power.

By Natalie Dekel. Our western society has realised that it is ok for men to cry, and it is ok for soldiers to be distressed by the violence they witness. We have learned to accept same-sex marriages, and gradually we learn to live alongside those with different belief systems and cultural differences, as more and more people migrate and mix. The next big challenge is to learn to accept...

We are all part of the universe, so when you ask the universe for help, that help is provided. However, living in a physical world there is time-gap between your desire or need and its manifestation. Luckily, in between, there are signs, visions and guidance that are given to us. They come anywhere from the twirls of colours in the cream of your coffee, to clouds formations, and to the colours...

The Woman Who Has Changed.

The Woman Who Has Changed.

Debbie Wiltshire interviewed by Natalie Dekel. Natalie Dekel: what is this change that we are talking about? Debbie Wiltshire: This change, for me, is a process of waking up to and acknowledging our true selves. I have come to understand that I have been sleepwalking through life, and creating many difficulties for myself through my lack of awareness. I have been living the life that people...

Angels and Me (Leeds, Yorkshire, UK.)

Angels and Me (Leeds, Yorkshire, UK.)

by Natalie Dekel. I feel so low that sometimes life seems meaningless. I am lost in my black well of emotions. Lost in that darkness that threatens to overwhelm me if only I let it. I started praying for help. It is the only thing I feel I can do. Then as I was walking on my way to the University something amazing has happened. Out of the blue I was lifted up in the air, a few inches above the...

Angels and Me (Western Galilee, Nahariya, Israel.)

by Natalie Dekel. I woke up tonight feeling exhilaratingly happy. I am trying to understand why do I feel so, as nothing so far made me very happy for a long time. I am looking around the room and that is where I suddenly realise that two things are not as they should be. One is that the room is lit with soft white glow which has no physical source and should not be happening in the middle of the...

Angels and Me (Northern Galilee, Maalot, Israel.)

by Natalie Dekel. Years passed. I have experienced more pain and troubles as my life Is. I am walking back home from school again. This time I am not surrounded by deep snow and freezing wind. This time I am embalmed in lazy Mediterranean heat where the air is so heavy and moist that it slides down my back like a caress. The same cloud has been hanging in the same spot in the azure blue sky for...

Angels and Me (Far East, Birobidjan, Russia.)

by Natalie Dekel. Every day, as I walked to school, I felt his presence next to me. Midnight blue wings touching my hand as we walk. In silence we looked at the stars above shimmering in the frozen dawn like jewels across the sky. We played this game of observing. And then comparing our observations. I would show him what it is like to see the sun waking up as I was skiing along at my PE class...

What dreams are made of?

What dreams are made of?

by Natalie Dekel, MPhil. Today (13 Feb 2009) I woke up at 4 o’clock in the morning and had time to observe the dreams I just had… I dreamt about the materiality of dreams themselves… I came to see that in dreams we create situations like theatre stages on which we can perform. These performances are staged inside our dreaming-minds so that we can enact and practice some situations in a...

How thoughts create atoms, and emotions formulate time?

How thoughts create atoms, and emotions formulate time?

by Gil Dekel, PhD (Art, Design & Media). It seems that the connection between thought, emotions, space and time is far greater than understood before. I am not a scientist; simply hold interest in that field. Here is a short introduction to the idea that thoughts can manipulate physical reality, and emotions can render the concept of time: Part 1: Awareness to atoms. A serious problem facing...

Thank You, Forever.

Thank You, Forever.

This film is a ‘thank you’ to all the gifts that people are giving to each other – the mere gift of Life. Every person you meet brings something to you, and when we look back we can then observe our memories as if they were still images, and then fully appreciate what we have received. For that reason I chose to create a 3D Photo-montage effect in this film, showing...

Confessions of an Angel

An angel was asked to reveal the meanings behind his desire to help humanity. The Angel’s reply: Do you know who you are? I wonder who am I now? What is it that makes me breathe, that makes me create? Who we are? Where are we going to? What is it that we are doing here? Ah… Planet Earth… I want to bring the power of God, the power of creativity into this Earth. Into...

In my physical form, I tried to show you how much I love you even when I could not acknowledge it. My...

How to Find the Inner Voice of Wisdom through Art?

How to Find the Inner Voice of Wisdom through Art?

by Natalie and Gil Dekel. When people stop communicating with their inner voice of wisdom, they seem to look for external stimulus, a source of content from outside themselves. Phone hacking, for example, is more than an illegal way to produce gossip – it is a sign of a lack of internal dialogue. When individuals fall into an ‘emotional pit’, they seem to fill it up with hacked knowledge...

The Conquest of Darkness: how I released the Three Knots of my past-lives that affected my present life

The Conquest of Darkness: how I released the Three Knots of my past-lives that affected my present life

by Natalie Dekel, MPhil. People seem to carry heavy emotional luggage, some of which has been handed down to them from previous life times, or even inherited from their families. I was fortunate to go through a healing process which taught me how to release negative experiences of the past that I was locked on. Before the healing process, I was attracting events and people that ‘allowed’...

The Grieving Hearts: What do we feel about passing over

by Natalie Dekel (MPhil) We all come to this planet through the miracle of love, and for the purpose of living a loving and manifesting love in all areas of our life. There is nothing that shines brighter than the ‘star of life’, which resides deep in the souls of our hearts.

Healing Words: Short-Verse Poetry by Gil Dekel

Healing Words: Short-Verse Poetry by Gil Dekel

by Gil Dekel, PhD (visionary poet and Reiki teacher.) The task of the poet is to see into the experiences we undergo every moment, and attach words to emotions. Like patchwork, these wordly emotions come together to form images through which we can see the light of people. Following the teachings of the great poets Rumi and William Blake, I observe reality around and inside, and put feelings...
