Hi Soul,

I'm not using a preset model to arrange the elements on the pentagram. Everyone should learn to overstand the process of directing their own affects.

The lower portions, the legs, represent balance, traction, and the quality of torque you have on your position.

The upper portions, the arms, represent the manner in which you choose to handle situations and responsibility.

The right side of the body is dominated by the left brain hemisphere.
The left side of the body is dominated by the right brain hemisphere.
http://www.singsurf.org/brain/rightbrain.php Scroll a bit down this website to the table showing the characteristic functions of the brain hemispheres.

Use the elements and colors to guide your understanding of how you want to situate the traits/values on the relative function of each domain.

If no one else has decided on how to position the elements by the time you finish, i will show you my model, then we can order the elements on the scales.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 2:05 pm

thank you, sundae

and i think i have found my final colors for each element as situated on these scales:

king - air - silver
queen - earth - teal
emperor - fire - scarlet
empress - water - electric blue

by **Cay Lin** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 2:31 pm

I think I've got mine:
King-earth-green
Queen-air-purple
Emperor-water-teal
Empress-fire-black

by **Xwikki** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 2:44 pm

Huh, whats with all the empress shiz niz>? :lol:

Are we refering to the major arcana or something.

King - Water - Black
Queen - Fire - Red
Emperor - Air - Blue
Empress - Earth - Brown

North is earth, south is fire, east is air, and west water.

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 3:04 pm

Cool. Mine are:
King: Clear Air. Queen: Blue Water. Emperor: Red Fire. Empress: Black Earth.

Next objective is to seek a worthy spirit guide for each chakra.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra

Spirit guides can be plant or animal. You need to study and apply the physical characteristics and behavior of the guides spirit, not just the shallow metaphorical interpretation. Look carefully, choose wisely.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 3:07 pm

gotcha *thumbs up* on it

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 3:08 pm

Yes, xwikki, i intending to incorporate the tarot later but first we should explore our dispositions. At this point we are constructing a mandala.

In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction.
According to David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises."

My totem animal is the bear. :eat:

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 3:58 pm

One of my favorite bands is "i wrestled a bear once".

I have had many spirit guides.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 3:58 pm

i have no idea what mine is

by **Xwikki** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:01 pm

My spirt guides are always men, and blond...

But I think he's just the same one, but playing around with my age recognision. :lol:

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:04 pm

maybe he's just trying to keep you on ur toes

by **Xwikki** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:09 pm

I think it depends on what sort of person I need at the time. :whoa:

For example in dreams you know when you see a certain person and remember them more, or they talk to you more or whatever>?
Or you take notice of them the most. :whoa:

Once he appeared as a homeless 20 odd year old and was giving my brother CD's. :lol:

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:10 pm

Soul, start with animals that you have seen in your dreams, then look up some that you really admire. Use your favorite elements to get a feel for where to find the guide.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:13 pm

well, that in itself will be a pain in my ass...
i've had dreams about so many different animals - and other misc. creatures - that i will be at this all week...
and i dont really have a favorite element, i connect with them all in different ways...

by **Xwikki** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:16 pm

Hey bunks, I told my mother once about when I found my totem animal guy. She did this travelly thing with me, something something about crossing over somewhere.
I started crying. :lol:

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:19 pm

what? lol You Have To tell me now.

by **Xwikki** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:21 pm

Sorry, just remembered. :lol:

In my dreams he's human, in uh, those, travels, he's a bear. :eat:

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:21 pm

Soul, the mythological archetypes like phoenix, unicorn, sphinx, are good places to start. Do searches online. We're still waiting for Dizzy anyway.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:23 pm

never had any of those...
but i did have some about... uh... other, things... *shivers*
i had some pretty messed up dreams...

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:24 pm

ok lol ive been chased by quite a few bears lol xwikki you should ask your mom about some powerful spiritual archetypes that would fit souls elemental colors.

by **Xwikki** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:26 pm

I think my mother is watching Harry Potter downstairs... :shock:

She feels bad for making me go out and feed the seagull and me stacking it because I'm scared of them. :lol:

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:28 pm

im changing my fire color to "ember"

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:30 pm

Soul, for empress - water - electric blue - there are some amazing biolumescent creatures you could use...Jelly fish:

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:33 pm

no, never had a jelly fish...

would you like a list of all the animals/creatures i remember from my dreams?
(plus, one in particular that confused me)

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:36 pm

Sure soul. Go ahead with the list...
Here's another infamous creature: The Greater Blue-ringed Octopus.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:47 pm

i dont think i had an octopus... but i cant remember all of them

the ones that stick out the most from my dreams are:
- giant, metal-eating sharks
- lynx (looks kinda like the muse from jak and daxter: precurser legacy)
- pissed off seal attacking my cat (who was my "friend"s guardian but he stuck around with me after my 'friend" left)
(SHIT! THAT COULD BE IT!)
- t-rex
- giant bees (or bee-shaped orbs of some kind) spinning around in a circle about 3-ft over my head
- spiders
- my "friend"s guardian
- some guy with angel-like wings running from a succubus or incubus

i think that's about it...
anything before this year's onslaught of dreams and nightmares i do not remember
(with the exception of the t-rex, which was when i was about 7 or 8, and it ate me in the dream - i woke up screaming.
that was about the time i started taking a medication that messed me up and almost made me a diabetic...
took it for 7 or 8 years...)

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:50 pm

cool. ok, ive done a lot of dream interpretation so let me take some time think about how these can be applied. Also, if you want to share more details about dreams that really stand out in your mind then definately do share.

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:52 pm

well, i can share the dream about the sharks and the t-rex, as well as the pissed off seal...
none of them are ones i particularly like reliving, but they are impossible to forget...

by **BlackBerrySundae!** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:54 pm

ok ill be around...

by **Soul Void** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:03 pm

the t-rex dream:

i had - aparently - just entered a fairly large, "home"-shaped room, as - when i saw the sleeping t-rex - i turned around and almost slammed myself into the wall behind me.
no exits.
instead of giving up, i tried to find a way out anyway. i crept around the bone-littered floor, trying not to wake up the sleeping carnivore.
and, just like in the movies, i stepped on something when i was looking out for the dino that went *crunch*, just like a twig in the woods.
the dino immediately woke up and stood up off the large couch - dont ask me why he was on a couch in the first place, cause i have no clue - and stared directly at me, baring his sharp, shiney teeth in my direction.
i gulped and ran for the other end of the house, not caring about the crunching, since he was already awake.
i foundmyself cornered and jumped over the couch facing the wall - again, dont ask me why - and hid in a fetal position.
a few seconds later, i heard the t-rex speak - yes, he spoke, hence why i know its a "he" - saying "now you're mine" and his jaws closed around me.
then, i wok up screaming like i had just been shot, and THAT's when my parents got me to the psychiatrist and she prescribed me the meds that ruined my "special" life for 7 - 8 years...

Always need to start profiling the subject in question by brainstorming associations to the power structure.

The species Tyrannosaurus rex meaning 'tyrant lizard king'

(tyrannos, meaning "tyrant") ‘one who rules for his own advantage rather than that of his subjects, and uses extreme and cruel tactics -- against his own people as well as others’ Don’t worry about negative connotations, we will transform the power to suit You.

(sauros, meaning "lizard") Sight is very important for most lizards, both for locating prey and for communication, and, as such, many lizards have highly acute color vision. Most lizards rely heavily on body language, using specific postures, gestures, and movements to define territory, resolve disputes, and entice mates.

('rex' meaning 'king' in Latin) Intuitively you felt:

king - air – silver

We will mold the spirits power in time with the element air and the vibrational frequency of silver. I don’t think you should change these properties but you can if you want to. I think you should trust your intuition.

Relative to the large and powerful hindlimbs,
Tyrannosaurus forelimbs were small, though unusually powerful for their size, and bore two clawed digits.

So we can tell by the physical power structure, the king must be situated on the lower portion of the pentacle.

I understand this dream represents qualities with a ton of trauma attached. I’m terribly sorry you were put in that situation, it’s really sad you were so misunderstood. It always happens to the Best of us.
Considering how incredibly powerful that spirit has shown itself to be in the past, it’s energy is very influential. It’s potential is currently lying dormant, repressed within your subconscious mind in the form of Post Traumatic Stress (which is actually energizing hyper-sensitivity to associated characteristics which we can use very well to our advantage.)
I’m really glad you decided to share this dream with us Soul. Now the others have and EXCELLENT Model for understand how spirit guides work.

I will privately detail the rest of the dream symbols for you shortly. If you don't want to use T Rex as a Spirit Guide you should seek another creature with a similar Form.
