BACKWARD MASKING III

This is it for this mask, except to set the paint and make it wearer-friendly. I sketched and painted in some psychic symbols about the crown of the head and orbiting the Third Eye. My hope is that, whoever ends up with this Mask will use it as an aid in trance and meditation, as a means to channel Spirit Bear and run through still landscapes that exist only in the deepest of dreams.

My thoughts drifted to the late Timothy Treadwell, the bear fanatic who met his end in the mouth and paws of his beloved beasts, a Last Supper of sorts where Timothy was the Host and the last good meal for a hungry bear. I thought how it would feel to see your future reflected in the eyes of the beast before it tore you apart. What can a Bear do to one's subconscious mind? Can it awaken a stubborn sense of power or a heightened awareness of territory? Despite my studies, my knowledge here is limited, and I am at a loss to the understanding of such universal powers that we live mostly unaware of? Enough questions. Become the Bear, and demand a picnic basket.

What are they going to see when they peer through the eye portholes and suddenly everything begins to feel...different? Infinity is your only horizon.

Nope.

Jambhuvantha or Jambavanta is the Great Bear found in Hindu mythology Ramayana and Mahabharatha. It is mentioned in Ramayana that Jambhuvantha was very intelligent and knowledgeable in war or Yudda Nithi. He is supposed have traveled whole earth 12 times and had extensive knowledge. At the time of Ramayana Jambhuvantha is Chief minister or Vanaras.

In Mahabharatha , Krishna marries Jambhuvantha's daughter named Jambhuvanthi and they had son named Samba.

In one of the incident Jambhuvantha fights with lion and kills it and takes away samanthaka mani. Which again Krishna fights with Jambhuvantha and gets it back. This story is recited during famous Ganesh Chowthi to get blessing of Ganesha.

Black bears feature prominently in the stories of some of America's indigenous peoples. One tale tells of how the black bear was a creation of theGreat Spirit, while the grizzly was created by the Evil Spirit. In the mythology of the Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian people of the Northwest Coast, mankind first learned to respect bears when a girl married the son of black bear Chieftain. In Kwakiutl mythology, black and brown bears became enemies when Grizzly Bear Woman killed Black Bear Woman for being lazy. Black Bear Woman's children, in turn, killed Grizzly Bear Woman's own cubs. The Navajo believed that the Big Black Bear was chief among the bears of the four directions surrounding Sun's house, and would pray to it in order to be granted its protection during raids.

Morris Michtom, the creator of the Teddy Bear, was inspired to make the toy when he came across a cartoon of Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a black bear cub trapped up a tree. Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnipeg, a female black bear cub that lived at London Zoo from 1915 until her death in 1934. A black bear cub who in the spring of 1950 was caught in the Capitan Gap fire was made into the living representative of Smokey Bear, the mascot of the United States Forest Service.

Yeah, I stole all that stuff from wikipedia. Report me. Don't really report me. I'm sorry.
