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.
To understand polarity is to understand nondualism, which is to understand the fundamental holism of seemingly apparent opposites. By its very nature, the illusion of duality is that it's two halves of a whole, which is a return to unity. Opposites are identical in nature but differ by degree. All extremes meet, and all paradoxes may be reconciled. You can't have good without bad, black without white, up without down, heads without tails, or a one-ended stick, etc.
The ultimate force is Love as the entire polarity itself, for Love is the sum of both love and fear, light and dark, good and evil, etc. Love is all there is. Fear is the illusion created by the dualistic separation within the ego of the human mind. Ultimately, what is good expands consciousness and creates unity, and what is evil restricts it and causes separation and division. "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." ― Franklin D. Roosevelt.
While the friction of good versus evil is essential for new growth and development and for the expansion of consciousness to be possible, the more we each choose to shine a light on the dark, the more loving and joyous our outcomes will be. Good and bad are also value judgments based on subjective perceptions and personal preferences. What you might think is good, someone else might think is bad, and what you might think is bad, someone else might think is good. These are relative terms, and neither would exist without the other. Whether good, bad, or indifferent, the quality of circumstances one experiences derives from one's perspectives and acceptance or resistance to any situation.
(Authors note: This is probably the most sobering paragraph in this entire text, and it is debatable if I should keep it real enough to include it.) Furthermore, Christ-Consciousness, aka Unity-Consciousness, is to view the world as perfect and whole (holy) as is, with love, peace, and compassion for all of creation. In contrast, Luciferian-Consciousness is extreme separation and division, perpetuated through fear, guilt, and shame, creating the war paradigm of the "us vs. them" mentality. At its most extreme, this is seen as Dark-Luciferianism, which is high-level satanism (satanism is not the worship of a literal devil per se; rather, it's the worship of one's own ego) and the globalists of the New World Order or one world government vs. the Light-Luciferian, anti-satanic, spiritual anarchists (anarchist meaning one who does not believe in the master/slave dynamic of government), who take up the sword in righteous anger. To quote Jesus, "Those that live by the sword, die by the sword." ― The Bible, Matthew 26:52. How we treat others is how we will eventually be treated ourselves because we are all one and all a part of the same Source Consciousness, God, The All. While we must hold those who create true evil in the world accountable for their actions, we also must have compassion for their humanity and not succumb to hatred and violence. Ultimately, "hurt people, hurt people." No one commits such crimes against humanity or any crime unless they're deeply wounded themselves, and bringing more hatred upon them will only keep the cycle of similar karma of such to be brought back to us. I know it's not always easy to feel that way, especially when triggered, but God has a plan for everything, and everything will work out exactly as it's meant to for the good, growth, and expansion of all.
