Description

The term "Cloud Services" refers to any service made available to users on demand via the Internet rather than via a company's internal servers or a person's own computer. Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider.

This piece illustrates connecting to one's "Higher Self" through introspection, meditation, or prayer. Essentially, the quiet times when one seeks answers from the universe, God, etc. In doing so, one could be said to be connecting to a type of Internet in that they are tapping into a vast source of information and other spiritual resources hosted in the "cloud".

Shown is a person sitting in a traditional lotus position encircled by a rainbow of colors commonly associated with chakras representing balance and wholeness. The prominent eyes in this piece represent greater sight and vision through one's third eye by connecting to one's "higher self" through meditation or prayer.

You will also notice a multi-colored pine cone positioned in the center of the meditating figure's forehead with a beam of indigo light projecting upward from that point. The pine cone represents the pineal gland which is an actual organ located in the center of the human brain that resembles a pine cone (how it got its name) and although considered by medical professionals to be vestigial, is biologically similar to an eye ball and has gained a reputation in some circles as being the key to connecting to other dimensions and possibly the akashic record said to contain limitless knowledge.

The pineal gland is also said to be one's "Third Eye" that can be activated through meditation and is tied to the sixth chakra (Anja) in some traditions which is associated with the color Indigo (hence the beam of light). Being able to connect to the Akashic record would provide access to considerably more resources than the Internet making it the ultimate source of cloud services!

In the background, you'll see the subtle appearance of the Flower of Life surrounded by a pair of circles representing eternity and duality. Alternate titles considered for this piece include "Piercing the Veil," "Higher Self," and "Third Eye". This would make a beautiful addition to any space designated for quiet reflection, meditation, or prayer.
