A tale is told of a traveler whose arduous journey left him broken, lost, and alone in the wilderness. On a moonless night, a massive storm began to form around him. A flash of lightning revealed the silhouette of a volcano in the distance. The traveler knew he could not survive the storm in the open, so he went to the volcano to find shelter. He found a that cave led to the center of the volcano where he found an amazing place. Life sprung from the rocks, creating exotic flora with intoxicating scents. Rainwater flowing to the center created a small lake that sparkled as if diamonds grew from its bed. A heavenly peace pervaded the air.  The traveler wished to explore but was overwhelmed by fatigue and fell asleep.

He awoke in a hospital some time later, unable to remember leaving the place of beauty. The traveler recovered, but never forgot the beauty of that stormy night. His story became legend, though no one could ever find the magnificent place again. The concept of a 'Celestial Volcano' became a place where one could exist and not exist—the gap where the essence of life is discovered.

PURPOSE OF CELESTIAL CREATIONS

Celestial Creations is dedicated to a number of concepts:

The scope of a person is not defined by singular factors.  The constraints of ethnicity, profession, locality, parentage, or heritage are considerations, not definitions of a person. 

The concept of "Spirit" is given precedent over efforts to define that spirit.  Raising this essence to its highest level is more important than constraining it by identity. 

Learning is a lifelong process and the pursuit of knowledge is as important as its acquisition.  Application of knowledge is the true test of its worth.

Reason and the will to use it supercedes dogmatic practice.  Ease is not sufficient reason for abdicating the gift of human thought.

Questioning everything with a willingness to accept the possibility of an unsatisfying answer--or none at all.
