Drawing one's soul

by **litlep** on Sat Feb 04, 2012 9:52 pm

greetings peoples. I have a little question. Can anyone do this thing that I seem to be able to do?

you see I have terrible Face-Blindness. (It's where you instantly forget what someone looks like the moment you look away.) But this is the interesting part. Instead of the face I have an image of shapes and lines in my mind. I am able to draw them and they are quite fastinating. I call them soul symbols but I'm not too sure. Everyone seems to have a unique dreawing Can anyone else do the same thing as me?

Also if you're interested I can send you a drawing of yourself. It won't be as good as they can for they will be paint for I don't have a camera but let me know if you're interested.

I think you forget the 'whole' imagery, but a vague resemblance remains. This enables you to organize each seen image, even if you latter forget it, and draw a unique features for each.

by **SamZee** on Sun Feb 05, 2012 6:11 pm

I must say I'm very interested in how these drawings look. How is it that these figures come to you?

by **litlep** on Mon Feb 06, 2012 12:30 am

To DRLHyper... Hmm yes that would possibly be it. It definitely seems that way.

To SamZee... I have no idea. I just kind of sit down with pen and paper and think about that person and the shapes just kind of appear without me really seeing it in my head and yes, they are quite fastinating. Some are extremely complex, some are quite simple and everyone of them is unique

by **DRLHyper** on Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:00 pm

Adding on SamZee's query; from your perspective, what do shapes look to you?

by **tsetse22** on Sat Feb 11, 2012 7:34 pm

litlep,

I find this face memory deficit and artistic impression intriguing indeed.
Impressions of people is a unique experience and what interest me about how we see each other
is the tendency to be able to pick up nuances, traits and matters about a person via non-verbal
other than rational modalities..... where does that come from?

My personal sensitivities to (we'll say ASSUME) read a room is that I can usually, when I try, tell you how in a matter of seconds how 10-15 people in a setting will stack-up as far as, nice, rude, religious, funny, who's a dolt and who "gets it" and then I don't wind up too far off the mark. If I were a lawyer.. jury selection would probably be the easiest thing on my calender...

Anywayz... I'd be interested in seeing you stick around and give a few of us a read/draw.... and show them to everyone
We, as people who also have some impressions of our regulars may be able to pick up on some relate-able edges, colors, blots and other impressions you might pick up on and illustrate in some figurative way.

It would make for a cool experiment, imo.

Recently last Thursday morning before last, coincidentally, I was musing on what my essence might look like. (or anyone's for that matter) In my imagination I thought it could be like a piece of marble, with my spirit being the black veins that run through it..only the white part being like soul & the eternal part. It may just have an image drawn from analogy. I also assumed along those lines that the more one works on the spiritual side and walks right, and strives to live a sanctified life, the more whiter while in this world.... I suppose this is a kinda weird idea.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:58 am

Not weird at all. Rather interesting actually. :idea:

Hey litlep,
can you draw my soul through the internet? Please???

by **akasha** on Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:24 pm

I agree it is interesting.At first I thought this was like some kind of automatic drawing or automatic writing.

by **litlep** on Sun Feb 12, 2012 11:01 pm

All right everyone *ahem* this is embarassing. I was sure you could just "upload" as it were, a picture but I realise it's a bit more than that. I've drawn all your souls... but... I'm not exactly sure how to... er... show them to you... Um can someone help a noob out? :oops:

by **SamZee** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 12:06 am

Upload them to http://www.tinypic.com one at a time. After you upload the file, copy and paste the "direct link" into the message body. Highlight just the link in the message body and click the Img button. It should look something like this:

[img]http://www.tinypic.com/whatever.jpg[/img]

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:26 am

litlep! Im dying of curiosity here. *claps and chants..lit lep...lit lep...lit lep...

I can also suggest you to use Imageshack. It requires registration to make images permanent, but you can store as many as you wish for free as well.

by **litlep** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:39 pm

ok now we can put that behind us and get on with the actual pictures! (hopefully)
KRSTYLCR as you are so eager you can go first.

interesting. I've never had stars in one before

by **litlep** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:42 pm

akasha I wasn't sure if you wanted yours done... so I drew yours anyway

hmm quite nice. Very simple.

by **litlep** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:44 pm

this is DRLHyper

My god. Yours is JAGGED!

by **litlep** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:46 pm

Tsetse:

Very smooth, no jagged edges. Very nice

by **litlep** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:48 pm

Samzee, here's yours

Yours is extremely complex. This is not all of it but this is all I could fit

by **SamZee** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:30 am

Damn, I was so eager to see these but unfortunately there was a problem. I think you copy & pasted the wrong type of link. The direct link should end with the file name and extension/file-type. So that when you visit the link, the only thing that loads is the picture and nothing else. If you're still having problems, you can just e-mail me the files and I'd be more than happy to take care of it. Samzee@gmail.com

by **akasha** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:10 am

EDIT*

Thanks for the image,it's really interesting how you do it..

by **litlep** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:24 am

oh. you already... oh. Ok

Right. Don't worry peoples I'll figure it all out soon enough. :dummy"

by **akasha** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:31 am

Okay I'm intrigued with this,have you drew your own soul? :rasberry:

The first thing that came to my mind with the image you drew for me was cosmic energy :lol:

I dunno why :lol:

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 4:14 am

Litlep! That is so kool! I love it, love it, love it!
Im going to see if I can print mine out. Do you imagine them in B&W or color? If you do get colors, what were mine? I think this is just such an aswesome gift.
Ty for letting me go first btw:)

by **tsetse22** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 6:03 am

LITLEP.. I SAY YOU HAVE A GIFT

AS A PERSON WHO FOCUS ON "3", A PISCES, AND AN EMOTION "HUGGER"
... I THOUGHT MINE WAS A LOT 'LIKE' ME!!!!

I THOUGHT YOU CAUGHT KRSTYLCR(PRINCESS WHO LOOKS UPWARD), SAMZEE (MSYTIC INQUISITIVE),AND DL (CONTRA-INTUITIVE) . . PERFECT.

THAT WAS REALLY COOL.

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:37 am

Nice interpretation tsetse22,

I can't decide how to interpret a few, but I defiantly saw yours as turning (something not so harmonious into something with harmony and equality). I saw akasha as a (tornado or whirlwind of energy). I can't decide if mine is an angel or a face with stars in the eyes and a third eye. 3 was a definite symbol though.

Still, very kool! :clap:

by **tsetse22** on Tue Feb 14, 2012 2:33 pm

Seems the picture was a bit wider that shown...
I guess you could consider the RH 'comma's' like layers of perception...perhaps.

Anywayz, I wanna try on this new avi for awhile ! !

thank you litlep! (no copyright infringement, I hopes)

Thank you. I will keep this drawing with my other image files (as to make sure it is safe, after all a gift is a gift).

I do not have a belief element to add, but if anything, I like it from an artistic perspective.

by **litlep** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 12:16 am

Well all I could say is :shock:

I guess I'm finally being noticed on this site. :lol:

by **SamZee** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 1:54 am

Very interesting. I can't say I know what to make of mine but I must say that Akasha's seems the most significant to me. The spiral alone is very significant. Spiraling is inherent in the nature of the universe. In theory how gravity flows and light travels, the structure of DNA, the Milky Way. Perhaps most importantly, the nature of energy flow through the Chakras. This brings me to my next point of interest -- the oval shapes. There are 7 of them, and 7 energy centers. So it looks like the energy is spiraling upward from the Root to the Crown which is exactly what happens. Again, very interesting. =]

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 2:48 am

@ litlep...I noticerd you early on there in the lucid dreams section.

@tsetse Love the new Avi. I think Im going to ask webbie to change my title to princess who looks upward.

@samzee
Intertersting take on that one for akasha. I see how you got that.

No. For some reason I can do anyone's souls but not mine. Who knows? 8-)

[quote="KRSTYLCR]Im going to see if I can print mine out. Do you imagine them in B&W or color?[/quote]

Nah just black and white. (Or blue, red, ect depending on the pen I use). You're going into more the auras area. You need my best friend for that, she can see auras. Unfortunately she's not on this forum.

Another note. Your interpretations are quite logical but I would have absolutely no idea. I just draw them, so don't ask me. :eat:

by **akasha** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:02 am

Nice analysis SamZee,thanks! :rasberry:

I never noticed those 7 oval shapes until you mentioned it.

by **Jeff_in_Time** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 2:54 pm

me me me please.

Curious to see what you come up with for me.

by **litlep** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:57 pm

Interesting... Don't know what to say about this one

by **KRSTYSTLCLR** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 8:25 pm

Is that Jeff? Reminds me of goes with the flow...in and out/ up and down. :clap:

by **litlep** on Wed Feb 15, 2012 11:19 pm

Yes that's Jeff_in_time. I probably should've quoted. Oh well there ya go Jeff! :wave:

I like it

Looks like 2 peeps embracing to me.
I like how Krsty explained it too

Thanks.

by **Strider** on Sun Feb 19, 2012 2:06 pm

This is pretty cool. Do you think you could draw mine?

by **litlep** on Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:09 pm

Phew. THAT was hard. strider yours is quite obscure but this is what I managed to get. I think there's more though

by **Strider** on Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:15 pm

Wow. Thank you, its deffinately not how i pictured mine. I think it looks cool.

by **tsetse22** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:26 am

litlep,

One has to copy these to a file and then open it in order to see the full dwg...
Can you try and re-size them (reduce) whenever you do another?

by **SamZee** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 1:43 pm

Actually, just right click it and do Copy Image Location. Paste it into your address bar and you're good.

by **litlep** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 11:50 pm

Message SamZee and Tsetse.

Noted but I thought I would keep using the current size so one can clearly see.

But I guess you're right. I'll make the next soul symbol smaller in size :yawn:

by **JeremyM** on Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:56 am

This looks interesting, lilep. Could you try one for me?

How do you see what the souls look like, or do you concentrate on the person/poster and just draw till something is completed?

by **BlissBaby13** on Sat Feb 25, 2012 12:16 am

This truly looks like an amazing talent; I wish I could do this. I'm artistic myself, but what you do is just brilliant. Have you been able to do this all your life, or has it developed over time? If it's not too time-consuming, please could you maybe do a very quick one for me? I've been thinking about whether a soul can be translated into a single image for a little while now, about whether the thing is too multi-faceted to be properly captured, but this just looks so awesome...
Sorry for asking so many questions - it's just really intruiging! ^///^ Namaste!

by **litlep** on Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:08 pm

JeremyM:

Along with your soul I answer your question thustly. Nah I don't need to concentrate very hard. Kinda hard with other people around though.

It's a bit dodgy. It's actaully supposed to be parallel but paint wouldn't have it

by **litlep** on Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:18 pm

BlissBaby13.

What do you mean so many questions? I can only find two.
Answer for the second one is I tried it once because I cannot draw for mnnne so I did a few of my friends (they don't know, they'd never understand) and found it surprisingly accurate.

As for the other one...

MUST you have that bit in the middle. GOD that was hard to draw.

by **BlissBaby13** on Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:43 am

Wow! That's so cool - very me. I really love it, thanks so much. May I do a version on my tab? I'll post it here when done...if I can figure out how to do that ^^ lol
Namaste! Thanks again <3

Do you see these in colour or monochrome?
Thanks ^^ <3 xx

That view it looks like a bell. So it is supposed to be on its side?

Thanks, what are these telling us about ourselves?
