BPP: Who are you? And who you really are?
Liba Waring Stambollion: I do
confess having asked myself the same question before. :))
Let
me start simple:
I am
certainly an adventurer, a creative person and on a quest for my Higher Self.
I am
a Daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend
I am
a painter, a book maker, a furniture designer
I
have a tendency to get involved in lots of projects, both of my own making and
of other people’s making. My big project this year was birthed in 2012. It is
called Dreams & Divinities and it showcases ‘conscious art’ through books
and expos. On the Spring Equinox 2013 a
Visionary Art Conference will be held in the Cathedral of Toledo: Iglesia St
Marco. It will launch a traveling exhibit of around fifty artists and my latest
book ‘Diving the Dream’ which includes 61 artists and 26 poets.
I
feel that at the deepest level I am a creature of Love.
Love
is what I quest and intend in myself…
Unconditional
universal Love…
To
the best of my ability, Love is at the center of all my quests, all my creative
expression, my actions, my relations,
It is
my guide and my objective

BPP: If you could say something
important to others who were listening, what would you tell them?
Liba Waring Stambollion: I would say follow the intuitive
path of the heart and live your passion. Don’t wait. The moment is Here and
Now.

Liba Waring Stambollion: I would love to
see a planet with people living in harmony with Nature and with each other. I
do wish for the abolition of the current money system. Also I wish for a planet
without countries but with networked ‘self-sustained eco communities; working together to make incredible creative projects
on every scale.
My peace and
calmness comes to my heart when I am satisfied, grateful for all the blessings
in my life. Even when I am faced with challenges, I try to see their part in
the yin and the yang. The darker the night, the more the stars are bright…

Liba Waring Stambollion:In relation to other countries
on the planet, France is a very
fortunate country. All citizens are guaranteed a roof over their head, food and
warmth, education and health care. With this base it is easy to be grateful for
everything else in our life. I grew up in South East Asia and countries like
Indonesia and the Philippines do not have this basic need assured. My wish for
the planet is that all these basic needs are covered for all people everywhere.
However what I really wish is
that the greed paradigm which rules the social economic climate of our planet,
would shif to a heart based paradigm encouraging sharing and mutual benefit. I
wish we would wake up to the Paradise which is already here on earth and that
we would restore the Garden so at all creatures big and small could benefit
from the beauty.

BPP: If you had a chance to be a
child again would you choose the same life?
Liba Waring Stambollion: Yes

BPP: What was the exact moment that you realized
what you wanted to do with your life?
Liba Waring Stambollion: How did you feel at this very moment?
Since the early age of my
childhood I have wanted to be an artist. Poet, priestess and anthropologist were also
big interests. Since these 'careers' all can take very different paths, I had
to decide. I remember in my early twenties narrowing down my career objectives
to the three most important things: creativity, independence and travel. I
started a company with my husband designing furniture and having it made in
Indonesia. This decision fulfills the three most important criteria for a job.
Painting and writing my spiritual vision was never intended as a commercial
move and I have always done this parallel to my career.
Finding other artists painting
their dreams and forming a planetary community
of conscious art is a thrilling journey for
me and the most fulfilling one as a life move.

BPP: Would you like
to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?
Liba Waring Stambollion: Thanks for the
networking, the project, the outreach. I am happy to share with you.
