Satin Canvas has a slight sheen to its surface, making it subtle and soft. It is a preference for those who prefer images with a less contrasty appearance. I like satin over glossy because it has a more artsy look and feel.
MUSEUM QUALITY CANVAS PRINT
Canvas: We use Urth canvas, the world’s first solvent canvas with archival certification by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Manufactured by the leading canvas supplier of award-winning digital inkjet canvas, Breathing Color® uses breakthrough technology of agent-free Fluorescent Whitening and Chromata white to create a canvas free of optical brighteners while still producing canvas prints with bright whites and true vivid colors that will not fade or yellow over time. With OBA-free Urth canvas, your print can hang in direct sunlight and remain fade-resistant and as beautiful as the day it was printed. The canvas has a built-in coating, which makes it moisture and abrasion-resistant, with UV protection. The canvas is durable enough to withstand cleaning by taking a damp cloth to the surface to remove dust.
Inks: We use UltraChrome GS3 HD inks, which have a wide & rich color gamut range. The inks are sprayed upon canvas, hence the “giclee application,” with extreme detail and vibrancy, thus creating a stunningly sharp image. Tested by Wilhelm Research, these lightfast, archival inks are designed to last 100+ years.
Wood: The wood used to create the stretcher bars for your print is made from poplar trees, which are extremely strong and stable.

Source Material
The wisdom, after passing from lip to ear for several thousand years before fictitiously being originally written as "The Kybalion," then lost over the centuries, "The Kybalion" was essentially rewritten in 1908 by an American new-thought and occultist author named William Walker Atkinson, penned as Three Initiates. The principles described are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the mythical reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian god Thoth, venerated as three times greater than the Greek god Hermes, contemporary of Abraham, founder of astrology, and discoverer of alchemy (the psychological art of turning thoughts and emotions into spiritual gold).
Just as the word "occult" accurately means hidden, referring to esoteric spiritual knowledge, so to does the word "hermetic" mean hidden, referring to the protective containment of such higher wisdom from persecution, abuse, and dogma. "The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding." Likewise, "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom" The Kybalion. These principles are the master keys to unlocking the Universe's secrets and many occult teachings.
These principles were first written down by the scribes of Alexander when the Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 BCE. Over a thousand years later, those writings resurfaced in the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods throughout Europe and the Middle East. They became the source material of gnostic works called "The Corpus Hermeticum" and "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, " which, though more poetically abstract, were said to have inspired the creation of "The Kybalion."
The principle of polarity
Everything is dual; everything has its poles, and everything has its pairs of opposites.
Everything Has an Opposite, But Opposites Are Connected
Everything exists in pairs of opposites, like light and dark, hot and cold, good and bad.
These opposites are not separate—they are just different degrees of the same thing (e.g., hot and cold are both temperatures).
Understanding this helps us see the unity behind all things.
True Peace Comes From Accepting Both Sides
The esoteric meaning (inner circle knowledge) of Jesus' message was about seeing the divine in everything and accepting life with love and compassion.
We find inner peace and salvation when we embrace both the good and bad in life.
Good and Evil Are Part of the Same Spectrum
Love is the sum of all things, including both love and fear, light and dark, good and evil, etc.
What we call "good" expands consciousness and creates unity, while "evil" causes fear, division, and restriction.
Fear is an illusion created by the ego's belief in separation.
Perception Shapes Reality
Good and bad are subjective—what one person sees as good, another may see as bad.
How we experience life depends on our perspective and whether we resist or accept things as they are.
The more we shine light on the dark, the more love and joy we bring into the world.
The Choice Between Unity and Division
Christ-Consciousness (Unity-Consciousness): Seeing the world as whole and perfect, with love, peace, and compassion.
Luciferian-Consciousness (Extreme Separation): Creating division through fear, guilt, shame, and an "us vs. them" mentality.
How we treat others is how we will eventually be treated because we are all one.
Breaking the Cycle of Fear and Hatred
Those who commit harm to others are often deeply wounded themselves ("hurt people hurt people").
Responding with hatred only continues the cycle of suffering.
Holding people accountable for wrongdoing is important, but we must also avoid becoming consumed by anger and revenge.
Trust in the Bigger Picture
Everything is unfolding for the growth and expansion of all.
The key is to respond with love and wisdom, knowing that everything has a purpose in the grand design.
Final Thought
Proper balance comes when we recognize polarity without getting trapped in its seeming duality. By embracing both light and dark with understanding, love, compassion, and accountability, we can rise above fear and create a better world.
