Some guerilla #artstr in our local park. Curious to see how the mulberry paper + starch glue will behave exposed to weather

In the process of doing my own, I discovered a wonderful old book with ink blot paintings (Gobolink):
We cannot make pictures of what we've not seen;
But such an assertion deserves only scorn,
For the shape of the Gobolink never was born.
He comes like the marvelous mimes of our dreams,

Looks great. What is the blue pigment, cobalt?
The ending would have been more interesting if a wasps' nest turned out to be inside the bottle, or if you had tripped and fallen in the ditch while trying to pick it up. Don't wish you any harm and personally I am also the guy to pick up other peoples trash (not always). Anyway, keep up the good work

The Bible is the Testament of those who have had direct relationships with God. Not some sophistry for glorifying egos.
Definitely not as above and so below.
Jesus is absolutely clear and he absolutely did something that no man could have ever done. Definitely no alchemist. Jesus was sacrificed here on earth and he was raised from the dead as all of those who believe are.
Not a mental hopscotch.
The funniest thing about the practice of Christianity is that it is simple and easy.

Mat 11:29-30 KJV Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Joh 3:31 KJV He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
Joh 8:23 KJV And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Jesus was an alchemist, in that he acquired a new body, a.k.a. transformed lead into gold. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
If the document contradicts the Gospels then it is against the Gospels and is the work of Satan who is the opposition to God.
It's moral relativism and not the word of God. God never lies. There are plenty of liars in this world.
We would like to think in terms of yin, yang, masculine, feminine and black and white but these are terms that are designed to label in terms of equalizing. Man is created in God's image but he is not as God. Man is by free will able to do what he wants but man is limited in his ability because he can not do what God does without the will of God. In faith and by God's will man can do anything through Jesus Christ but that is only in faith and by following the will of the Lord.

Joh 10:9 KJV I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Joh 14:6-7 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

1 Cor 1:17-25 KJV For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Thus a document written to be clever is foolishness spiritually and it's not equal to that which has come from heaven. In no way is it as it was above.

Gen 1:1-5 KJV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Joh 1:1-5 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Go through the fear and you will find God exists beyond the Bible
Deu 4:14-19 KJV ¶And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
15. Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16. Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17. The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18. The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19. And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

Luk 4:5-8 KJV And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

To my mind, the Emerald Tablet speaks of the workings of the one God, albeit in somewhat cryptic terms.
Emerald Tablet (translation Isaac Newton)
It is true without lying, certain and most true: that which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracle of one only thing.
And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
The sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.
It ascends from the earth to the heaven and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior.
By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing. So was the world created.
From this are and do come admirable adaptations where of the means is here in this.
Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.
