What is your interpretation

[sparklekaz]

Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed giving intuitive feedback to the pictures aceofcups put on forum. So here are a couple more. this time Ace can join in.

When looking at this picture, what feelings does it evoke in you. What does it represent to you. Try not to have any preconceptions. This is working on a purely intuitive level. Just let it flow and share your impressions.

Picture 2

This is somewhere I have visited myself many times. I wont say where it is. But I'm guessing some of you will know. Would love to hear your thoughts and impressions of it.

Image #1:

The arching construct is obviously man made but the upright things might be natural columnar basalt. They both are in stark contrast to the greenery. Strangely the rocks seem in harmony no matter how they came to be there. That suggests the human beings that made the rock bridge are closer to the rocks then plants and trees - which of course doesn't sound right in a biological sense.

The fact the arch acts as a visual frame is a strong indication of aesthetics. Is that natural? Of course not. Vegetables just sprout and don't care if they look pretty. Animals just eat or be eaten unless they are wanting to attract a mate to reproduce. So the whole image is incongruous. But also very reassuring. Mainly because of the implied order of everything.

At least when I see this picture I don't see ruination!

Thanks Kaz..

Here is what came to my mind when viewing first image:

To me the picture is symbolic of: What is Above is also Below and visca versa   Part of our full consciousness or Higher Self awareness my be hidden from our waking conscious minds and dwell in levels of our unconsciousness minds ( or we haven't awakened enough yet to realize we even have them).. ( The half in water can also be symbolic of the Astral level or our Dream mind.)

Overall ''This is our true NATURE that sometimes flourishes with verdant green Trees ( lessons of love, growth and expansion) OR at other times we have a rock formation springing up ( symbolic of life's struggles we all have)


But both halves ( the conscious and the unconscious) are necessary for the Wholeness of the Circle and Life to be achieved.

Picture #2


This image brings to my mind the Tarot image of the Lightening Struck Tower and some of the symbolism connected to that tarot card.   Here there is no storm or lightening but the clouds do look that a storm may be due soon.

The Tower can be symbolic on ones Ego's which has been built up over time to stand tall and proud.   It stands alone..almost with the feeling of it being a prison.......and can look out over the far lands where others and cities are happening. This Ego Tower may have been necessary over time.. the person had to travel it's own road to get to it ( pathway leading to it in picture)... but here it stands lonely and isolated with built up walls.  Is the tower empty? was building an ego like the tower the right thing to do?    or just was necessary at one stage,,, but now one needs to loosen the stone structure to become more fluid?.   Do some things happen "correctly" in one cycle of the Path, and then the same thing may not be right at another junction?




But the image kaz posted is a more hopeful one with the Sun shining the distance.

image #2:

First I must say there is nothing like that here where I live. Most everything is brown and shriveled up due to lack of moisture and the buildings here rarely go back more then a hundred years. Civilization is more stucco and cement here and what lawns do exist are artificially watered.

The obviously old building is surrounded by pastoral land as if it was planted there a long time ago. In a time and place where the land where not so much built up and later left undisturbed almost as a cemetery and grave marker. I do not find this depressing. Even the pretty sunset does not so much remind me of death as it does a peaceful slumber.

I admit endless agony may have visited here in the past and I just don't see it. Life goes on ....

Glastonbury Tor? A very spiritual place for many centuries

[sparklekaz]

Here is another angle of picture 2 which gives it another dimension and suggests more than how it first appears in the first picture of it. Let's see what you all think.

image #2:

Seen from the air the place looks very elevated. It also looks inaccessible to one handicapped by congestive heart failure. There is no alternate route; no artificial means of transportation up to the summit.

That has multiple meanings ...

Come on people!
How about a picture of a street in slum Nottingham c 1876 or Newcastle 1903?

Or would that be too uncomfortable?

[gruntal]

Actually that has interesting possibilities. Throngs of people mesmerized. Squalor. What is happening? More importantly what is GOING to happen? Can you see beyond the obvious? Can you make any sense of it?

Looking back what was important to them might seem irrelevant to us today. What will the future think of us looking back at us?

Feel free to put a picture on Lionl. Comfort has nothing to do with choice of image. More what we are individually drawn to posting.
