11. BARYT PRINT ON SILK – GAIA

11. GAIA
BARITE PRINT ON SILK

The barite mine looked like Swiss cheese, it was an enormous labyrinth. We`ve spent quite some time trying to cut out some stones by ourselves, but our guide decided to take us even deeper into one gallery. We`ve met a guy, who occupied only by his shoulders the whole gallery. It was the village`s teacher, who worked on weekends and, he handed me over this marvelous barite stone.

Spending some time as well within the galleries for myself, a wonderland, I felt like aligning a smaller clock to a greater one while time stood still.When observing the stone, some questions come to mind about the harmony of how they organize, is there a blueprint for this particular formation? 

A possible answer can be given by the scientist Ruppert Sheldrake who describes in his books self-organizing systems, minerals included, which follow an unseen morphic field. Barite is a stone which absorbs electromagnetic waves and which showed itself quite useful for me during meditation or when placed on the body, it absorbs fears and negativity.

The barite print dress is the connection to this intrinsic intelligence of Gaia, creating the morphic fields, materialized as minerals.
