Michael Paul Hallé Born Welland Ontario, Canada February 3, 1949 Founder 10GATES Matrix Inc. On My Path to Conscious Living. “I am conscious that the more authentic our connection to our Indigenous Nature, the more direct our Path to the Energy of the Great Spirit.” Quotation by Michael P Hallé

Our journey of discovery often begins without us even being aware, but most certainly, with an open heart and conscious knowledge that we are all in pain, and that healing happens first within us, not some external process. Its clear to me after living a full and blessed life, that there has been a calling throughout my entire life that connects me to an energy force that reaches out to everyone of us along the Path which we mostly are not aware of until something happens in our life that causes us to gain awareness. I have met thousands of people on my path to conscious living. Most are in pain, and many are not aware that we are all One, and come from the same source. Some are more aware others intuitive, and yet we are still fighting with our ‘true nature’, or one another. Until we learn that we must ‘walk this path with an open our heart’ we cannot truly begin to share our journey and learn from others along the way!

What I understand clearly now is that ‘everything is connected to this force of energy we call Life’. In my case, “I am conscious that the more authentic our connection to our Indigenous Nature, the more direct our Path to the Energy of the Great Spirit.”

My Indigenous Journey is my Path to reconnect and acknowledge my own Indigenous Nature, which calls to me with increasing intensity, and guides me in my daily existence! I am not, in this life, indigenous, however I am aware that my ancestors who were are reaching out to me and so it is time for me to learn their Path. My ART: My painting style is a combination of both Abstract Expressionism and Representational Expressionism. The best point of reference for my work is the vibrant New York School of Abstract Expressionism evolved from Paris during late 1940's. New York City became the center of a period of cultural transformation in America. The very evolution of the New York School can be credited to such artistic luminaries as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler, to name a few. While my art has always shifted and morphed, in mid-2012 I began to feel the need to express a new dimension of art which is creating a fusion of Abstract and Aboriginal I studied Tourism & Hospitality Management in my earlier Life and Managed Hotels and Destination programs. Followed by studies in Anthropology, Archaeology, and Aboriginal Studies at the University of Toronto. I work with the (c) Maya First Nations in Mexico's Yucatan. My goal is to help develop sustainable destination tourism programming while honouring and acknowledging Indigenous cultures, their heritage, and the biodiversity which are the corner stones of sustainability and the very essence of the successful tourism brands of the future.
