Try this: Make yourself comfortable, read this post,follow the instructions, and then answer the question: Close your eyes, and imagine a cube.

A cube in the desert. What does your cube look like? Try not to read other people’s posts before answering though. Try to describe any senses that you can experience that cube with- if you can taste it, describe taste; otherwise, try size, texture, color, position, etc…. as much as you can. It’s an exercise that can be really interesting if you do it sincerely.

A silver reflective cube suspended in space like a blackness, but an outline of desert and mountains appear misty in the background. It is spinning counter-clockwise on its end like a diamond. I can see spots of bright white light like a globe occasionally reflecting of of it. It is very smooth like mirrors without any lines other than that of its shape.

My cube is sand, growing from the desert itself. Its base is a bit buried on one side, but it’s hard to tell where the cube begins and the desert ends. It is warm, and has the texture of a… sand cube. The desert around it is bright, and there are dunes in the distance.

it’s a creamy color sitting lonesome in the middle of this desert. it’s bouncy (i can jump on it and it makes a ‘boing’ sound. hah.), comfortable, and every wall of the cube is slightly, yet smoothly, indented.
it’s cold like ice, and dripping as if it’s melting.
fairly small… about waist high.

a light aqua-colored cube. it’s balanced on one corner, just slightly hovering off the sand. it has a soft, ripply, liquid, delicate texture, almost like water in a bag. the edges are well defined though. the cube is a comfortable temperature, like an air conditioned room. it’s about 1 square foot.

It means something entirely unique to you, sarah parah. It is unique to your life experiences. Because of that, only you can interpret it correctly. If I try, however, the only things I can say is that you are, or were, a fun-loving person. The creamy color shows that you are a bit subdued by your circumstances at the moment. Try interpreting it yourself, though. There are no right or wrong answers as long as it feels right to you.

Mine is metallic. It’s grey-black with deep purple vein/vine things all over it. The surface under the vines looks like it’s made up of riveted metal plates that have been scorched. It emanates a dark glow, more like it emanates darkness than actual light. It’s stationary, and a low hum is coming from it. There are small parts of the surface that look like they’re rusting, but the rust is a dark blue.

The desert is black sand, with a red, stormy sky. White/yellow lightning is flashing from cloud to cloud, and the clouds themselves look black, but have a deep purple tint to them. In the distance, stony crags of vicious mountain tops tear at the sky.

I’m going to stop there. If I keep going, I’ll end up writing a whole story about it.

I know exactly what mine means, but I’m curious to see what you think, Chicago.

As I said, it is unique to your impressions of your life. If you see a cube like that… I am tempted to say that you are a person who with fairly severe emotional damage in life: the dark colors and imagery such as “vicious mountain tops” give the whole view a post-apocalyptic tone. Also, I feel like you have farther to go before your emotions can turn towards the positive… like your darkness is not complete yet, and that it will get worse before it gets better…. :) However, that is my impression, from my life experiences. You, as the one who owns this image, is much more qualified to interpret it.

I will try and read decipher mine ~chuckles~

The clear shiny silver in the blackness would mean I am a shining light in the torential darkness that surrounds me.

In the distance lie the outlines of a desert and mountains, meaning everything is going great for me, but my subconcious sees some mounting (pun for mountians) issues are looming in the distance. However, they are transparent which means they can be altered.

I have no idea what it means that my cube is on end like a diamond, perhaps that means I’ll get some money. I got $505.00 today ~smiles~ for refering someoen to a job and they made it 60 days ~smiles~. You get $700 for each referral.

I would imagine the smooth reflective volume of the cube speakes of my flawless ability to reflect (or put into perspective) issues my mind deals with.

I see the cube as being the quintessential body, mind & spirit of the person in question.

Anything you see on the outside of the cube are external problems, gifts, etc. you have, are, or will be dealing with.

Red = Blood, War, Suffering, Anger, etc.
Blue = Passion, Compassion, Depth of spirit/mind
Yellow= Warmth, the Sun, gaeity(happiness), etc.

Now, if you put the primary colors together and make a secondary color it would be something like this:

Red & Blue = Purple; This is the color of deception because “war” with “passion” is deception, obssession, compulsion. And the depth of those colors would tell you how deep your deception is.

Red & Yellow = Orange; You can’t have “War” and “Happiness” unless you are psychologically ****** up! ~chuckles~, so Orange is confusion, strife, apprehension, etc.

Blue & Yellow = Green; This is “passion” and “warmth/happiness” together which is a great medium for growth, all things green grow.

If your cube is buried, not moving then this shows complacency within you body, mind & spirit. Movement shows that your cauldrons/chakras are working mostly ~smiles~.

Anyway, I hope this helps you guys in deciphering yours. I figured I would put out my meta-science out there in case anyone wanted to know the formula for my definition. Good luck all ~smiles~

Xeno’s is very interesting so here is my shot Xeno you can tell me how wrong I am later ~chuckles~

The greyish black in the cube show that you tend to be as nuetral as possible, but you lean a bit towards cynicism and sarcasm.

The purple vines are skinny and run through it like veins, which shows a normal amount of deception, meaning you are no more deceptive than anyone else in the world ~smiles~.

The scorched metal plates are bricks you have put in your wall to protect yoursel from pain/suffering, so that is where your purple comes from that pain you are protecting yourseld from.

The black sand shows that you belive the foundation of the world to inherently corrupt and dark.

The red, stormy skies say that your external world (those who you deal with) can be quite angry and create strife in your at this time. Is someone dogging you like your parents? ~smiles~

The yellow lightning shows the sporadic happiness you find in life through external things.

The black and purple clouds show you view of deception and despair in humanity in general.

And the crags show the iminent pitfalls you and humanity will have to face in the future.

Well that is all I got out of it…good luck too myself ~chuckles~.

This just shows how you felt at the minute you did this, not how you are, or who you are. I don’t see you as a person in trouble. I have seen nothing but humor, intelligence and friendliness, even if sarcastic at time ~chuckles~

You’re very close, Pizz. However, I’ve had that landscape in my head for a very long time, ever since a similar mental exercise I made myself do years ago. The cube was new, but I knew what it looked like the second I read the post. I think that it’s more along the lines of the landscape looking the way you usually perceive things and/or the way you usually are/think, whereas the cube, at least for me, represents current perception of things. The odd thing is, I’m not troubled or disturbed by all of this, nor was I anything of the sort when I wrote it. In fact, I kinda dig it. Maybe it just means I’m dramatic, but my interpretation isn’t far off of what you wrote.

Well, this is a rather simple exercise that can tell you a lot about how you view yourself. I, or other people, could try to interpert it, however in my opinion, the general mood of the area, and minor variations, can change the feeling of it so much that the only true interpertation can be made only by you.

The reason why I posted this originally, is because it was shown to me by a teacher, and I later used it during my body and brain club meeting, for discussion. I found the results to be fascinating, and I wanted other people to try it.
