    Guesscreative Family! Have you ever longed for your home to do more than just exist as a space? To turn it into a source of energy and inspiration? Let's embark on a transformative journey where the precision of mathematics, the wonders of science, spirituality's depth, and the beauty of design converge to revolutionize your living space. It's time to align your home with the grandest vision you hold for yourself. Sense and Sensibility: A Five-Dimensional Approach: Your living space is a 5D experience, engaging all senses in a symphony of well-being: Fire: An electric fireplace or a scented candle can light up your space with warmth and aroma, engaging your sight, touch, and smell, while the gentle crackling sound stirs a sense of coziness. Earth: Plants do more than beautify; they purify. By introducing greenery, you're not just adding color and life but also enriching the air you breathe – a true feast for the eyes, nose, lungs and spirit. Wind: A high-quality fan, humidifier, or diffuser is more than a functional tool; it's your personal breeze, a tactile and auditory reminder of the natural world's gentle flow. Water:  Imagine the calming presence of a water feature. Its visual tranquility and peaceful trickles can wash away stress and rejuvenate your spirit. Feng Shui Your Space: The Art of Placement: Feng shui, the ancient Chinese practice using energy to harmonize individuals with their environment using placement and flow, providing a blueprint for peace and productivity: Positioning: The 'commanding position' isn't just strategic; it's empowering. Place your bed or desk to face the door – but not directly in line with it – to take control of your life's narrative. It enables you to focus your challenges head on. Color: Choose a color that reflects the environment you feel comfortable in. Colors aren't just shades; they are emotions painted in your space. Choose warm hues for lively areas like the kitchen and cool tones for serene spots like the bedroom. Light and dark play their parts too, shaping the room's energy and feel. Declutter: An uncluttered room reflects a clear mind. Create space for energy to flow, and you'll feel the uplift in your mood and creativity. It's okay for your space to look "lived in". Your space doesn't need to be spotless and immaculate but it should be organized with flow in mind. You should be able to navigate your space easily. Personal Touch:  Infuse your space with elements that resonate with your essence. Whether it's artwork, cherished memories, a shelf of your favorite books, a dry erase board, or a vision board, let your environment be a reflection of you. Solfeggio Frequencies: Tuning into Cosmic Rhythms: Have you ever felt a deep connection to music or sound, as if it could influence your mood or well-being? This connection is more than just emotional; it's rooted in the science of sound frequencies, particularly the solfeggio frequencies. These ancient tones, steeped in history and spiritual significance, are believed to hold healing properties that resonate with specific vibrations beneficial to our health and harmony. The concept of solfeggio frequencies originates from a time when sound was seen as a pivotal element of creation and transformation. Each frequency in this series is associated with certain healing attributes, creating vibrations that can positively influence our body and mind. As humans, with over 60% of our bodies composed of water – a natural conductor of sound – these frequencies have the potential to align us with a state of natural coherence, balancing our energy and promoting well-being. These frequencies are not just random sounds; they are a series of harmonious tones that have been used in ancient music, chants, and ceremonies for centuries. Each one is tuned to a specific frequency that corresponds to different aspects of human experience, from physical healing to emotional cleansing and spiritual awakening. What is interesting is that the physical observation of sound can be studied through cymatics where you can visually see harmonious sound frequencies. Let's dive into the 9 solfeggio frequencies and explore how utilizing these ancient sounds can be a key to unlocking deeper harmony within ourselves. 396 Hz - Liberates from fear and guilt, creating a strong foundation of security. 417 Hz - Facilitates change and helps you let go of past trauma. 528 Hz - Known as the Love frequency, it promotes healing and DNA repair. 639 Hz - Enhances connection and relationships. 741 Hz - Leads to a purer, more spiritual life. 852 Hz - Awakens intuition and returns your spirit to spiritual order. 963 Hz - Connects you to the divine consciousness. Playing these frequencies in your home can have a profound effect. Integrate these numbers with the solfeggio frequencies to amplify their impact. Mix 396 Hz, 639 Hz, and 963 Hz to create a tapestry of sound that aligns with the universe's heartbeat. Try them in different rooms, at different times, and feel the vibrations. Try it here. The Tesla Touch: 3, 6, and 9: Nikola Tesla (a brilliant scientist, inventor and electrical engineer) found universal power in the numbers 3, 6, and 9 – as they are the keys to the universe's energy. Apply these numbers to the solfeggio frequencies, and you unlock a new dimension of vibrational resonance. Combine 396 Hz, 639 Hz, and 963 Hz for an experience that doesn't just resonate – it transcends. Your Home, Your Temple: Armed with these tips, it's time to turn your home into a temple of positive energy and high vibrations. Every adjustment is a step towards a more harmonious you.

  • Transform Your Reality Through Positive Thinking: Embrace Your Power to Elevate

    In today’s world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by negativity. Our health is under attack from processed foods, stress plagues our minds, and the media bombards us with fear. Society seems determined to strip away our sense of peace and control. However, the reality is that each of us has an incredible power – the power to control our experience of life by shifting to a positive perspective. It sounds cliché, but positive thinking truly can transform your world. The science is clear – you cannot experience a reality that you are not on the vibrational frequency to receive. Just as you can’t hear a radio station unless you tune to its specific frequency, you cannot experience negativity if you maintain a genuinely positive state of being. This isn’t about denying difficulties or painting everything with rose-colored lenses. It’s about understanding that the meaning you give events dictates your reality more than the events themselves. Consider that old Chinese parable of the farmer whose horse runs away, seen first as a disaster but then as a blessing when the horse returns with others. When the farmer’s son breaks his leg from riding that horse, it appears misfortune – until the son avoids being summoned into war because of that same injury. The farmer’s wisdom was to avoid rigid definitions of “good” or “bad.” He understood that life is a journey where events happen neutrally, and we assign their positive or negative charge based on our perspective. Too often, we get caught in negativity loops, focusing tirelessly about our perceived failures or misfortunes. But those definitions come from within us and are not the circumstances themselves. If you watch your self-talk, you may be amazed at the toxic narratives you’ve internalized about your worth, abilities, or situation. But you can choose to disrupt those cycles by validating your experiences with grace and without judgment. When something “negative” occurs, you can observe & acknowledge it neutrally, then make an intentional choice about how to define it for yourself. View it as an obstacle providing a lesson, protection from something worse, or an opportunity for growth. Life doesn’t happen to you; it happens for your evolution as a conscious being. The more you embrace this mindset, the more you take charge as the author of your experiences. By maintaining a positive energetic frequency, you begin attracting realities that align with those high vibrations. Obstacles become simpler to overcome with the more steps forward you take. You discover more love, inner peace, and a sense of your power. Our minds are incredibly potent. We can allow them to be consumed by society’s narratives of fear and limitation. Or we can use them to create transcendent realities of love, abundance, strength, success and possibility. The choice is yours. Take charge of your life by taking charge of your highest thoughts. View every experience as an opportunity to elevate your vibration. Keep your chin up, chest out, and stay rooted in the knowledge that you are crafting the world you experience. For in this universe, nothing negative can exist in a positive state of being. Embrace your fears, think good thoughts, take action as necessary and watch your reality transform. This truth is an ancient one, known by mystics and sages across cultures for millennia. Yet in our modern age, so disconnected from our spiritual roots, it’s a wisdom too many have forgotten. It is a journey that starts with your choice to maintain a positive state. By continuing to stay anchored in the stillpoint of positivity, our outer worlds will recreate itself to match your calm, centered upliftment. Relationships will heal. Finances will flow. Vitality will become effortless. All because you changed nothing but your predominant inner vibration. Let your light shine. I am embracing this journey. It will be a lifetime progression. I am only 30 years old as this article has been written but I am on a journey that I look forward to. I am curious. I am grateful. I am observant. There have been & will be plenty of situations that test my ability to maintain a positive state of being. But as I continue to choose this vibration, my journey progresses. After several years of seeking information, education and understanding while choosing to maintain a positive state of being within myself no matter what the circumstance or situation, I find myself writing this article to you which is both an honor and a duty with an outcome that I find worth the effort. I find myself living fully and doing exactly what I wanted to do for a living. I get to innovate, design and create. I get to share knowledge. I get to connect with like-minded high functioning individuals around the world. I choose to be open to all new experiences, opportunities and possibilities that serve me and uplift my positive state of being. If this article inspires just one of you to make the choice to believe in yourself, take that next step and maintain an unwavering positive state of being, I will be grateful. I can’t wait to see what you share with the world. Find your Peace, for Positive Energy Activates Constant Elevation. “Know Ye that man in his journey light-ward is ever seeking escape from the night that surrounds him, like the shadows that surround the stars in the sky and like the stars in the sky-space, he, too shall shine from the shadows of night / Cease from thy unbelief / and follow the path and know ye are right.” – Thoth (The Emerald Tablets).

  • I Excel then Propel: Journal Entry🌱: 31st Birthday (May 30th, 2024)

    Just as a plant grows, I believe that life should be considered in that same way. A plant sinks its roots deep and reaches up towards its highest excitement, light. Over time, based on the environment, some leaves will fall off & die, Some will get stronger, healthier and more vibrant. At least, that is what the plants are doing in my room currently. It's interesting to witness. Plants are continuously seeking to pursue their highest excitements to the best of its ability with zero expectation of the outcome. It's a representation of life, one that I resonate with at least. That's where the beauty of the plant comes in. No-one tells a plant how it grows. It just happens to grow that way. A plant is self aware enough to grow in a way that best suits it to flourish in the environment it is in without instruction. All it needs is its core needs: water, sunlight and positive vibrations. 🌱 (Personal Space) I turned 31 on May 27th. This year has been a great one so far. It's a blessing.

  • MIND this Blog Post: Wisdom From Thousands of Years Ago

    This post might be a little different from the rest. & That's Cool. You're here which shows that you are interested in realizing the power that you have within you. I love that this blog allows me to come back and add to my posts, reflecting the growth I've had. The purpose of this post was to share ancient knowledge that is still very much applicable to life today. I've finished a few more books since I've started this blog and now have much more to share. The information of this world.....this life....this existence has already been written down somewhere by people that have came & gone but their wisdom are here to stay. First Off: All is Mind. (We will discuss this more in depth later in the blog) & Therefore, Knowledge is Priceless. To truly make strides in your life, you will need to accumulate wisdom. "Ye are the ultimate of all things. Only the knowledge of this forgotten" - Djehuty / Thoth (written in the Emerald Tablets Wisdom is the key living a healthy & successful life. Wisdom comes the combination of knowledge and experience. "Ye know that knowledge is gained only by practice, and wisdom comes forth only from knowledge, and thus are the cycles created by law" - Djehuty / Thoth [ W I S D O M = K N O W L E D G E + E X P E R I E N C E ] The life you experience is the life you focus on. To harness that strength that you have within, you have to practice your ability to clear out all negative thoughts in your mind. That takes intention, discipline, isolation and patience. "Only the one who is seeking may ever hope to be free" - Djehuty / Thoth. Discover your purpose. If you don't feel that you have a purpose, create one and walk in that direction. Pick up & read books. Seek out useful content. Find mentors that are in the spaces you'd like to be in. You will find out that your journey will be a winding road with ups and downs but what matters most is that you start. The more you're able to clear your mind from negative self talk, the stronger your intuition will be. This will put you on a different frequency of thought. Success should be defined uniquely by your desires. Nothing Else Matters. As said by my mentor, the great Earl Nightingale: "Success the Progressive Realization of a Worthy Ideal. " Your success depends entirely on your perspective. Understanding perspective is one of the most powerful understandings we can have. We all have life experiences worth sharing. The majority of us have only been taught about life in a certain way. My goal is create a life of freedom for myself, love for others, abundance and self-awareness. In doing so, I am called to share from experience the wisdom that I myself searched for in order to give you a different perspective to understanding the power that you have within yourself. I seek wisdom by listening to elders & mentors. I question the status quo and seek additional knowledge to help me better understand the reality that we all live in. I don't care who's elders. Your elders, my elders, his elders, the elders wrote research/ books, the elders who had a hard life, youtube's elders, EVERYBODY's elders. As long as their communication (verbal & non-verbal) feels true & authentic, I'm listening. Obviously you can't take what everyone else says to heart (there's human nature to consider) but discernment is key. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. We can all feel that on some fundamental level. Knowing right from wrong, we all owe it to ourselves to become our highest selves. If you choose to put in the work to realize, love and accept yourself for who you are, you will be better positioned to make judgements that are better suited for your own life. It's not an easy road but your journey is the purpose. Your highest self is realized through an healthy alignment of your minds, bodies, hearts and souls. Which means you are at peace with where you are in your life & who you are right now. "Right Now" is everlasting. It is always the present. We can't change our pasts and we can't determine our futures but we can dictate how we feel right now. To give an example, Think about a time when you were arguing with someone you love and someone else showed up. More than likely you and your partner chose to stop arguing in the midst of company. It was a choice. That same choice can be made when negative thoughts creep into our minds. Your mind thinks, your body feels, your heart knows and your spirit...is. When those systems can agree with one another and equally work to pick up the slack of another at any point in time, you will have harmony within yourself. You will have harmony within your soul because regardless of what is going on in the world, You Know Who You Are. You will be a buoy floating steadily and balanced in the sea of circumstance. Our society currently elicits many questions. There is a continuous attempt to divide between race, class, gender, politics, religion and even health. Break down concepts. Understand the Fundamentals. Reinterpret & recreate from your own perspective and experience. What You Think, What You Do & How You Feel Creates Your Existence. Thats Truth. To understand truth, we have to be open to listening to other critical perspectives before giving our own opinion. We are going to look back at the fundamental principles of ancient civilizations thousands of years ago. Why? because that knowledge already existed before anything we've been exposed to or taught in our universally traditional educational systems. I work to break concepts down to understand the fundamentals. From that understanding, I can begin to reinterpret the concept from my own perspective. In my quest for knowledge, I came across a few fundamental but powerful principles that I'd like to share for those of you that want to become the best version of yourself. What's cool about them is that they are from the advanced ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) civilization from over 5000 years ago. The principles were developed written by Thoth / Djehuty / Hermes Trismegistus (the same figure across various cultures) and they still stand the test of time. Please go and look up anything and everything that interests you for yourself. There's so much to learn. There are 7 Universal Truths or Laws Mentality, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Gender, Rhythm, and Cause & Effect. This is knowledge that I found to be completely profound and applicable to the design of anyone's life direction. The Principle of Mentalism "All is mind; the universe is mental." This principle states that the universe is a mental creation, and everything that exists is a product of the mind. Everything has to happen as a result of the mental state that proceeded it. The Egyptian God Thoth, also known as Djehuty / Tehuti, was the god of wisdom, knowledge, and writing, and was believed to be the creator of the hieroglyphic writing system. Thoth was also associated with the principle of mentalism, as he was believed to be the keeper of knowledge and the one who wrote down the laws of the universe. To design our lives using this principle, we must recognize the power of our thoughts and intentions and focus on positive outcomes. It is important to maintain balance and order in one's thoughts. By cultivating a positive and focused mindset, we can create the reality they want and manifest their desires. To change your reality, change the way you think. The Principle of Mentalism teaches us that our thoughts have the power to create our reality. This understanding "enables the individual to readily grasp the laws of the Mental universe, and to apply the same to his well bing and advancement" - The Kybalion. However, it is important to remember that our thoughts are not only individual, but also collective. The thoughts and beliefs of the collective consciousness can impact our personal reality, which is why it is important to work towards creating positive change on a larger scale. It is also important to remember that not all of our thoughts are our true self. Our thoughts create things, conditions, and our state of existence. We should be responsible for everything create by being responsible for what we think. Our thoughts are continuously impacted and affected by our environment, the nurture given to us and our perspective on the world as we see it. Which means they can be swayed if one is not in control of their reaction to their thoughts. Meditation is key to clearing out every thought that doesn't belong. Use your mind to create a reality you want to see that is better for all of us. I apply this law and a few others that will be described below as I aim to become the best version of myself and be one of the most impactful designers to ever live. The Principle of Correspondence "What is Above is From the Below, What is Below is From the Above." This principle suggests that there is a correspondence between the various levels of existence, and that the patterns and structures of the universe are reflected in all things. It is like a mirror. As above, so below. As within, so without. The ancients "considered this principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown" - The Kybalion. In Ancient Egypt/Kemet, the principle of correspondence was represented by the concept of the microcosm (the individual units that make the whole) and macrocosm (the totality), which refers to the idea that everything in the universe is interconnected and reflects the whole. Think of the similarities between the structure of our solar system and what we know about the structure of an atom. The structures are the exact same on all scales of existence. The same pattern repeats. Furthermore, our personal actions and choices can have a ripple effect on the world around us. By living in alignment with the principles of harmony and balance, we can contribute to a more positive and peaceful world. Understanding the Principle of Correspondence is important because it helps us understand the interconnectedness of all things and the oneness of the universe. Our outer worlds are reflections of our inner world which if altered will create changes in the outer world. In order to make changes in our physical reality, We must first look within. To apply this principle to design one's life, one must recognize that everything is connected. We must strive to maintain balance and harmony in all areas of life (mental, physical, spiritual). The Principle of Vibration "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." The Principle of Vibration states that everything is in constant motion and that nothing is truly still. This means that change is always possible, and that we have the power to create positive change in our lives and in the world. By raising our vibrational frequency through practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and gratitude, we can attract more positivity into our lives. Close your eyes and listen to the world around you. Listen to the cars & planes travel. Listen to the chatter outside of your window. If it's quiet, you can listen to your own heart beat. Everything is moving, constantly. The principle of Vibration suggests that even seemingly still objects, such as a rock, are actually in a state of vibration at the molecular level even if it is seemingly imperceptible to our eyes. To understand how to use this principle, it's important to realize that everything in the universe is made up of energy, and that energy vibrates at different frequencies. These frequencies can be high or low, and they can have a significant impact on our lives. Positive vibrations are high-frequency thinking patterns, attitudes, emotions, whereas negative vibrations are low-frequency thinking patterns, attitudes and emotions. The easiest way to identify a negative vibration is to be aware of when and how we feel resistance within ourselves. Positive vibrations make us feel at ease, while negative vibrations can make us feel fearful, envious, doubtful, worried and anxious. We also often pick up on energies that don’t belong to us. If we continue to take on energy that isn't ours, we begin to identify these energies as a part of who we are, which can make us feel stuck in a low vibrational state. We all need to let go of this resistance and live in accordance with our sense of inner peace. To increase our own personal vibration, we need to focus on cultivating positive energy within ourselves. This can be done through practices such as meditation, gratitude, positive thinking, and acts of kindness. When we raise our own vibration, we are better able to attract positive experiences and people into our lives. To use this principle to design our own lives, we need to understand that the energy we put out into the universe through our thoughts, actions, and words is reflected back to us in the form of experiences. Therefore, if we want to attract positive experiences, we need to focus on maintaining a positive vibration by staying in alignment with our values, focusing on what we want rather than what we don't want, and taking action towards our goals. Affirm yourself. It's important to remember that our bodies are made of over 60% water and our brains are 70%+ water. Think about about what happens to water when the slightest vibration affects it. Those same things happen to our mind and body when we are exposed to certain frequencies & vibrations. In essence, the Hermetic Principle of Vibration is a reminder that everything in the universe is connected through energy and that by understanding and working with this principle, we can raise our own vibration and design a more positive and fulfilling life for ourselves. Look into Cymatics (the study of sound & vibration made visible) if you're interested in how certain frequencies can affect the body. The Principle of Polarity "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truth are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." The Principle of Polarity states that everything in the universe has two sides or two opposite poles, such as light and dark, high and low, good and evil, and hot and cold. This principle is closely connected to the Ancient Egyptian/Kemetic concept of duality, which was believed to be a necessary aspect of the universe. It teaches that things that are seemingly disparate only vary by matters of degree and that we cannot have one thing without the other. The Principle of Polarity reminds us that there are two opposite poles to everything, and that these poles are necessary for existence. This means that we cannot have light without darkness, or good without evil. By embracing both the light and the dark aspects of ourselves, we can achieve a greater sense of balance and harmony within ourselves and in the world. Ever heard the statement, Love & Hate are the same thing? The differences are merely varying degrees of the same thing. There is no absolute point where love ends and hate begins. But hate can be turned into love, by changing the polarity. It is possible to "change the vibrations of hate to the vibrations of love, in one's own mind, and in the mind of others" - The Kybalion. The art of polarization is a phase of mental alchemy. Understanding the Principle of Polarity will enable one to change his own polarity because it helps us understand that everything in the universe has both positive and negative aspects. With that information, we tap into our mental states and find a balance necessary for harmony and growth. To change how we see things, allows us to throw light on many different subjects within our own experiences. The Principle of Rhythm "Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates." The Principle of Rhythm describes the cyclical nature of the universe. Everything has a rhythm and a cycle, and that these cycles are necessary for growth and change. The principle of rhythm suggests that everything in the universe has its own tides and cycles of change, just like the tides of the ocean or the cycles of the moon, or even fashion trends. All things rise and fall, ebb and flow, and move in a cyclical pattern. The pendulum-swing manifests in everything, meaning that all things swing back and forth like a pendulum, from one extreme to the other. Moreover, the principle of rhythm states that the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left. This means that when something reaches its peak, it will inevitably swing back in the opposite direction with the same measure. For example, when a business is experiencing a period of growth, it will eventually swing back to a period of decline. Similarly, when an individual experiences a period of happiness, they will eventually experience a period of sadness. Understanding this should give us a hopeful, more appreciative perspective on reality. Life is full of Ebbs & Flows. Appreciate the great times and hold steady on the hard times because you know that good times will come. The principle of rhythm suggests that rhythm compensates. This means that when something swings too far in one direction, the swing will eventually correct itself and swing back in the opposite direction. For example, if a person is too focused on work and neglecting their personal life, they may eventually swing back and focus too much on their personal life, neglecting their work. Everything in the universe moves in a rhythmic pattern, with cycles of growth and decline, and swings back and forth like a pendulum. The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left, and rhythm compensates by correcting swings that go too far in one direction. This means that we must be patient and allow things to unfold in their own time. By trusting in the natural rhythm of the universe, we can find peace and acceptance in the present moment. The Principle of Cause and Effect "Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law." The Principle of Cause and Effect states that everything has a cause and that every cause has an effect. This means that nothing happens by chance or coincidence, but rather everything is the result of a specific cause or set of causes. The principle of Cause and Effect also suggests that everything in the universe happens according to law. This means that there are certain natural laws that govern the workings of the universe, and that these laws are consistent and unchanging. For example, the law of gravity governs the way that objects are attracted to each other, and this law operates consistently throughout the universe. The principle of Cause and Effect asserts that chance is not a real phenomenon, but rather a name given to the operation of laws that we do not yet understand or recognize. This means that events that may appear to be random or coincidental are in fact the result of specific causes or factors that we may not be aware of. Nothing in the universe escapes this law. Which means that every action, thought, and emotion has a consequence, and that we are all subject to the workings of the natural laws of the universe. In essence, the principle of Cause and Effect is a reminder that everything we do has a consequence, and that we are all connected to each other and to the universe as a whole. This means that we must take responsibility for our choices and work towards creating positive outcomes. By understanding and respecting this principle, we can learn to live in harmony with the natural laws of the universe and create a more fulfilling and purposeful life. The Principle of Gender "Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes." The Principle of Gender states that everything has a masculine and feminine components, and that these aspects are necessary for creation and manifestation on all planes of existence (physical, spiritual, mental). There is a such thing as mental gender which involves the masculine and feminine aspects of the mind. Our left brain largely facilitates the masculine mind with intellect, logic, and linear thought processes. While the right brain facilitates the feminine mind with creativity, compassion and wholistic thought processes. Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with sexuality and moreso the nature of Gender. We must embrace both our masculine and feminine energies in order to create a balanced and harmonious life. . Today, these principles are still relevant and can be used to design our own lives through self-actualization and the understanding of interconnection and oneness. By understanding these principles, we can better understand ourselves and our place in the universe, and can work to create a better future for ourselves and for all beings. In order to create the future we want, it is important that we learn how to design and think for ourselves. The Seven Hermetic Principles provide a framework for understanding the universe and our place within it. By understanding these principles, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, and can use this knowledge to create positive change in our lives and in the world. As we continue to evolve and grow, it is essential that we embrace our interconnectedness with all beings and work towards a harmonious balance with the environment and each other. Design your life to be the way you want it to be. Time is spatial and Meaning is what you make it. Tap in to yourself innermost desires, put in the work and make your time here count. Do it for yourself and your family. The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding" - The Kybalion "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with Wisdom" - The Kybalion "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." - Nelson Mandela Vibrational Music to listen to: Growth - Lizzie Berchie "Everything starts on the inside before it comes to the outside" Books to Read: Our African Unconscious - Edward Bruce Bynum Ancient Future - Chandler The Kybalion - Three Initiates

  • Movable Spaces: A Redefinition of Usable Building Space in 2024

    "If a building could mediate our needs and the environments: Its demand on physical resources could be slashed If it could transform to facilitate multi-uses: Its function would be optimized If a building could adapts to our desires; It would shape our experience." - Michael A Fox (Kinetic Design Group) "In a built environment that is now affected more and more by rapid and dramatic change, ecological considerations and social and cultural impact, a form of architecture that is flexible, light weight in construction, has minimal impact on sensitive sites, and is responsive to new technological and aesthetic opportunities has great value" (Kroneneburg). As we move through 2024, conventional ideas are being disrupted. Due to more advancements in our technology and thought patterns, We can now redefine architectural space and how we interact within our built environment. How? Through innovative pods that unfold and expand from 8' to 16' when deployed, which offers versatile and adaptable movable building solutions.

  • ModuLux Decentralized Luxury Movable Spaces: Innovating More Adaptable, Accessible & Portable Buildings

    Introduction to Movable Spaces Imagine a world where the spaces we live, work, and play are not static and unchanging, but dynamic, adaptable, and mobile. Envision buildings that can be set up in a matter of minutes, customized to our specific needs, and relocated as our lives and communities evolve. To fully embrace this concept, we must first redefine what "space" means within our built environment. I am referring not to outer space, but to the tangible space around us — the dimension of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move. In architecture, we transform boundless space into defined limits that form our environments, shelters, and structures. We harness the vast expanse of existence into permanent usable spaces that have the power to influence our moods, behaviors, well-being, and provide a sense of place. This raises an important question: does a space need to be fixed or stationary to have a positive impact? Advancements in technology are now challenging us to fundamentally rethink our conception of architectural space. This is the vision behind Guesscreative's ModuLux Movable Spaces, which aims to revolutionize the way we think about architecture and the built environment by offering cutting-edge, portable spaces that adapt to our changing needs. Historical Context of Portable Architecture The concept of portable architecture is not new - humans have been using movable structures like tents, tipis, and covered wagons for millennia. As architectural historian, professor & researcher Robert Kronenburg notes in Architecture in Motion: The History and Development of Portable Building, "The idea that architecture can be portable is one that grabs the imagination of both designers and the people who use it...Portable buildings have a long and interesting pedigree, which includes principles that have been adapted into permanent construction" (1). Throughout history, portable structures have played a crucial role in human survival, adaptation, and cultural expression. From the nomadic tribes of the Sahara who used lightweight, easily transportable tents to navigate the harsh desert environment, to the Native American tipis that could be quickly erected and dismantled as tribes followed seasonal hunting patterns, portable architecture has allowed humans to thrive in a wide range of contexts. In more recent history, portable structures have continued to serve important functions. Covered wagons played a key role in the westward expansion of the United States, providing a mobile shelter for pioneers as they traversed the frontier. In the 20th century, the rise of prefabricated and modular building techniques opened up new possibilities for portable architecture, from the mass-produced temporary housing units of the post-war era to the sleek, high-tech mobile homes of today. But the influence of portable architecture extends beyond just pragmatic considerations. As Kronenburg points out, the principles of portable design - including lightweight materials, modular construction, and adaptable layouts - have also been adapted into permanent architecture. From the minimalist, prefabricated homes of the Modernist movement to the high-tech, kinetic structures of contemporary experimental architecture, the legacy of portable building can be seen in a wide range of architectural styles and approaches. In many ways, the history of portable architecture is the history of human ingenuity and adaptability. By creating structures that can be easily transported, erected, and modified, humans have been able to create shelter and community in even the most challenging environments. And by continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible with portable design, we have expanded our understanding of what architecture can be and how it can serve the needs of people and communities. In today's society, we are becoming exponentially decentralized. The search for employment opportunities, experiences and new beginnings often results in people moving from place to place. Gueston Smith's Curiosity for Mobile Spaces It is remarkable how far our society has advanced. We now have autonomous driving cars, high end luxury automobile fabrication, artificial intelligence, decentralized blockchain capabilities and clean power. I believe that the built environment also has the opportunity to be reimagined to reflect this same level of thought and innovation. This belief has been with me since my early days at the University of Southern California (2014), where I developed the concept for a mobile basketball court for my architectural thesis. Although my intent was to utilize cross-disciplinary experiences to create memorable architecture, I realize that I missed the bigger picture in 2014. Now, I see opportunity for groundbreaking innovation in movable architecture, one where the integration of cutting-edge technology, adaptability, accessibility, and convenience redefine our relationship with the built environment. The Rise of ModuLux Movable Spaces: A Case Study in Innovation Guesscreative's ModuLux Movable Spaces exemplify an evolution of advanced thought by integrating innovative technologies, sound fabrication, thoughtful design, and a clean aesthetic to provide spaces that are quality, durable, efficient, convenient and highly adaptable. Technological Advancements Enhancing Portability So, what exactly is a ModuLux Movable Space, and why should you care? At its core, it is a highly versatile, mobile space that can be quickly transported and set up wherever it is needed. But what sets it apart is its ability to adapt to an incredible range of uses. Imagine a structure that can serve as a comfortable remote workspace one day, a trendy pop-up retail shop the next, and then be easily converted into a cozy living space or a state-of-the-art classroom. This is the power of the ModuLux. (See Video Below) Features and Functionalities of ModuLux Movable Spaces Fabricated by Expandable Trailers, a leading company based in the Netherlands, ModuLux Movable Spaces are designed to be a rapidly deployable, customizable mobile space that represents the cutting edge of portable architecture. As detailed in Architect / USC professor Jennifer Siegal's book More Mobile: Portable Architecture for Today, advances in materials and construction methods are enabling a new generation of innovative movable structures (14). ModuLux Movable Spaces take full advantage of these developments. Its lightweight aluminum frame and durable, expandable hydraulic technology allow the space to be transported and set up in just 15 minutes by a single person at the press of a button. ModuLux Movable Spaces are more than just a feat of engineering - they are a blank canvas that can adapt to a multitude of functions. With customizable exterior cladding, various lengths, flexible exterior facades, a rigid structure utilities, and premium features like rooftop decks and full glass walls, they can be configured to serve many markets and industries. This versatility underscores what Kronenburg identifies as a key advantage of portable buildings: "flexibility and diversity of purpose" (Portable Architecture 4). Rather than a single-use structure, ModuLux Movable Spaces can evolve to meet changing needs over an extended lifespan. Sustainability and Environmental Impact ModuLux Movable Spaces also represent a major step forward in terms of sustainability and environmental responsibility. By creating spaces that can be reused and repurposed over time, rather than being demolished and rebuilt, they minimize waste and reduce the carbon footprint of construction. With an efficiently packaged, lightweight design, ModuLux can be transported with minimal energy usage and emissions. Equally important is the ModuLux's minimal environmental footprint once deployed. With its potential for reuse in various locations and configurations, it treads lightly compared to conventional construction - exemplifying Kronenburg's assertion that in many cases, particularly sensitive environments, the need for low-impact, temporary buildings is "patently obvious" (Portable Architecture 4). Societal Implications and Future Applications In a world facing complex challenges, from climate change and resource scarcity to rapid urbanization and shifting demographics, ModuLux Movable Spaces offer a glimpse of a more flexible, resilient, and sustainable future. They have the potential to transform not just individual buildings, but entire communities and cities. Imagine a future where affordable housing can be quickly deployed where it is needed most, and easily adapted as families grow and change. Where schools can be set up in underserved areas, providing high-quality learning environments that can be expanded or relocated as populations shift. Where businesses can test new markets with low-risk, high-impact pop-up shops, and disaster relief shelters can be rapidly deployed to provide comfortable, dignified housing. Whether used as remote work pods, mobile classrooms, retail pop-ups, or emergency facilities, ModuLux can be speedily customized for diverse and evolving requirements, tailoring spaces to individual needs or communal purposes. These advancements make the benefits of portable architecture - flexibility, adaptability, accessibility - more attainable than ever. Technological advances are making portable architecture more scalable and economical as well. The ModuLux's efficient, modular design streamlines transportation and setup, while minimizing long-term costs. As such structures become more accessible, they can democratize adaptable, high-performance spaces. Vision for the Future: Integrating New Technologies This is the promise of portable architecture, and ModuLux Movable Spaces are making this vision a reality. By marrying cutting-edge technology with time-tested principles of flexible, adaptable design, Movable space opens up new possibilities for how we create and interact with the built environment. Of course, realizing this potential will require more than just technological innovation - it will also require a shift in the way we think about buildings and the spaces we inhabit. We will need to embrace a more flexible, adaptable, and human-centered approach to architecture, one that prioritizes the needs and well-being of people and communities over rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions. ModuLux Movable Spaces give us an exciting glimpse of what this future could look like. They invite us to imagine a world where the spaces we inhabit are as dynamic and adaptable as we are, where buildings serve us rather than the other way around, and where the built environment is a source of resilience, creativity, and connection. Conclusion: The Transformative Potential of Movable Spaces The future of movable space is here, and it's exciting to imagine where innovations like the ModuLux Movable Spaces might take us, especially in tandem with advancements in artificial intelligence, blockchain and clean energy. Expandable's fabrication technology, enabling the quick evaluation and optimization of multiple units, will be instrumental in building these revolutionary structures at scale. ModuLux Movable Spaces continues the rich tradition of portable architecture while reimagining its possibilities for the modern world - and beyond. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, solutions like ModuLux remind us that the spaces we create have the power to shape our lives and our world in profound ways. By embracing the potential of portable, adaptable architecture, we can create a future that is more sustainable, more resilient, and more responsive to the needs of people and communities everywhere. ModuLux Movable Spaces are not just portable buildings - they are a symbol of a new way of thinking about architecture and the built environment. They invite us to reimagine the spaces we inhabit, and to create a future where buildings serve as tools for empowerment, connection, and positive change.

  • Designer Creates a Unique Shipping Container Lounge for Vassé Rendezvous, an Outdoor Event Venue

    Watch Instagram Recap Project: Vassé Rendezvous Scope of Work: Luxury Shipping Container Lounge for Outdoor Venue Location: Fort Worth, TX Lead Designer & Project Manager: Guesscreative LLC Container Fabricator: - Vassé Rendezvous is run by my mother, Demetrica Williams. This wonderful woman dreams of offering a place where people can come together to celebrate their unique experiences and enjoy the outdoors, whether for leisure, socializing, or business. She utilizes her beautiful 10 acre property in Fort Worth, Texas to rent out the space for intimate celebrations such as birthday parties, weddings, baby showers, family reunions, corporate picnics, etc. Demetrica desired a unique space to compliment the breathtaking property. She also needed an office space to be able to oversee these gatherings comfortably. Understanding her needs and budget, I began the process of developing a design to bring her vision to reality. I proposed to utilize a new / one Trip 40' High Cube (HC) Shipping Container to give her ample space. The dimensions of a standard HC shipping container is 8-0" W x 40'-0"L x 9'-6"H. That is 320 SF of floor area. The containers are strong, durable and fire resistant. They can be an efficient use of space when designed effectively. I needed to make sure that this project would be fabricated in a controlled factory setting by professionals, allowing for a better space. I knew that lounge space would be a valuable rentable asset for Vassé Rendezvous. I placed a 8' x 7' office on one end to maximize the long rectangular shape of the shipping container. The rest of the space will be maximized as the lounge area for those coming in from the hot sun or windy weather. The lounge area was strategically placed on the side of the shipping container double doors to give the flexibility of having an open space with 3 different door locations. This design decision gave passive ventilation and ample natural lighting. To add some flavor to the lounge, a rooftop deck with set of stairs welded onto the short end was added as well. The rooftop deck will add a layer of open air seating and an additional 320 SF to occupy which maximizes the amount of people that experience the lounge. Guesscreative executed the vision by designing the floor plans and elevations that gave the fabricators a clear concept of what is required for the project. Demetrica chose the paint colors she wanted, a deep chocolate exterior with beige interior, luxury vinyl tile flooring and ebony stained wood composite for the rooftop decking that also has cable wire railing. The windows and large 8' mirrored french doors have a bronze finish along with the beautiful sconces. The doors were very expensive. Lounge Floor Plan w/ MEPs: Lounge Section: Visual Renderings: Custom Shipping Container Lounge Structural Reinforcements: All openings were reinforced by 2x3 metal HSS framing. Exterior Wall Assembly: - Shipping Container Corrugated Metal - R-13 Sprayfoam Insulation - 2x4 Prime Whitewood Wood Studs - 1/2" Drywall There is also R-6.5 sprayfoam insulation in the floors & R-19 in the ceilings. The electrical panel is 150 Amps and the space will be heated / cooled by a 12,000 BTU Ductless Mini Split System with two blowers. I am grateful that the build came out successfully. We learned a lot during the process, particularly what to look for when building with certain fabricators. If you'd like to learn more or if you'd like to have structure designed and fabricated for you, please contact me.
