“The United Nations Staff Recreation Council is honored to house this superb masterpiece of the “Our Lady of the Universe,” which Ms. Ripstein with
unstinting skill and unique talent has created. Her unique “Mystical Surrealist” style manifested in this work of art, literally soars with her “invisible” technique. This revolutionary new technology immerses
viewers in light, taking them on a multidimensional transcendental journey. The vibrational soulic quality touches the hearts and emanates the Divine Light of love and peace that pierces the human psyche. Ms.
Ripstein’s work on canvas captures the beauty of the “Our Lady of The Universe” in its various facets, which deserves high praise. Her work leaves the viewers spellbound. It brings home the spiritual awakening,
healing and renewal. I highly commend this precious work.”

The picture of the" Mother of the Heavens” by Jacqueline Ripstein (as displayed before the World Peace Summit leadership in August 2000).
"Jacqueline Ripstein has captured the revelation of the Divine Mother (‘Imma in the prophetic language) speaking through all religious symbols of the world and moving into our lives
with warm, loving cosmic eyes meeting our eyes. As a unique expression, this living portrait speaks and blesses. In our vision, she is alive in the very breath of astonishment. "
"This living portrait will contribute to the fullest manifestation of a profound global quest whereby each person who is truly connected with the celebration of Life in the Divine Mother will be also dedicated to the
spiritual awakening of humanity suffering within the fragile garment of the Mother Earth. The Divine Mother and Earth Mother meet within each of us and, from this position, aid and inspire other individuals and
organizations, so they may also align with the greater celebration of Life. We are continually in awe and respect of the magnificent process of spiritual awakening that has been given as a gift to us by She who is also
the Virgin (‘Alma and Parthanos in the prophetic language), nourishing the inner nature of the Cosmic Christ within each of us for the vast evolutionary changes ahead."

..."Thank you very much for your wonderful art workshop the
Millennium Peace Day on 19 September 2000 at UN Headquarters. It was definitely one of the most inspiring workshops I have ever been part of. Many of the 400 or so students who participated in the activity wrote me
expressing their excitement and satisfaction. Obviously, much of the credit for the success of the day’s event goes to you...."

"It was wonderful to meet you the day before the Millennium Peace Day. You are such a shinning spirit. I was able to spend some
time with “Our Lady of the Universe” and although I didn’t expect to, I ended upon my knees in front of her. It felt like I was in the presence of the real Blessed Mother. In the space of knowing, not thinking. For
the next few days, I could see her quite clearly and feel that presence again. In fact, she is still speaking to me. I am sure you hear this kind of thing all the time, but it never hurts to hear it again.
Yes, you are the instrument through which she manifested, now for me, and for many others. Thank you."

Querida hija Jacqueline :
"El arte es una forma de expresión del sentimiento humano; la cerámica, la poesia, la mimica, el canto, y el baile,la pintura, las palabras, son formas
ilimitadas , tu lo dices “ sin fronteras”, de expresar lo que se siente, personal o impersonal pero en el arte, en que no existe el sonido, palabras , musica que en general capturamos con el oido, la transmision tiene que
ser mucho mas intensa mas profunda debe salir, como ondas sismicas, debe vibrar desde nuestro interior, para expresar, decir , gritar en parabolas lo que sacamos desde lo mas ondo de nuestro ser para darlo con amor, para
integrarlo a lo que nos rodea, para elevarnos y poderlo lanzar como rocio, como mensajes que nos hagan “ vibrar, sentir, llorar, reir, gozar, superarnos moralmente, sensibilizarnos .”….
Muchos miles de anos atras tratamos y empezamos a lograrlo , expresando lo que sentiamos a traves de la pintura “ rupestre “ que nos decia a traves de estos
artistas todo lo que querian expresarnos adelantandose muchos miles de anos a hacernos ver y sentir lo que querian expresarnos.
Mi querida hija , como veras solo repito lo que tu me has expresado. El arte no tiene
fronteras , no esta materializado, no tiene Religion, DIOS nos lo ha dado, es para todos y benditos aquellos que lo pueden expresar en esta forma, para trasmitirnoslo a lo mas interior de nuestro ser dandonos sus
mensajes y ojala que siempre fueran de Amor , Paz, y Felicidad..
Sigue expresandote con tu pintura con las varitas magicas de tus pinceles y da salida a tus sentimientos Don que DIOS te ha
dado y compartelo en esta forma, con los que te rodean ............Gracias............Maximiliano Ripstein
Tu padre que te quiere
