What two different ways of seeing 'ol olife huh (Riley and Savory)? One is Alice in Wonderland (I expect the Cheshire Cat in there too) and one is one's inner hands strangling one's self. Interesting. |

I get a similar impression, though I think I've seen a few actual pictures of Stormy. But still have an image of him being a mobile information library. ;)

the second one for enforest (big time).
I was hesitating about posting that second one for enforest, but I couldn't get away from it. It just really got something about his sx vulnerability and what else I know about him.

savory, the expression on the girl with the zebra. When I first saw the photo I was so-so about the girl, but when I really focused in on her expression I thought, yep, that expression definitely fits. And I certainly would not pass up a chance to get near almost any kind of critter that I didn't think would harm me. One time I saw a Candid Camera bit where they had put a burro in a motel room and watched the guests' reaction when they arrived at the room. They were calling the desk to get someone to remove the burro... I was SO JEALOUS because that burro was wasted on those people! I would have lit up and exclaimed "LOOK! THERE IS A BURRO HERE!" and rushed over to talk to it and see if it would let me pet it and see about getting it a dish of water or something. For a long time afterward I had a recurring daydream of getting to check into the room with a burro in it.
I haven't read much of you and I know we haven't really interacted, but this picture appeared and I went "Mandapanda". Was something about the girl's gentle confidence, something of a protectorate over animals but of having an heart-full openness as well. I can also very well picture you as a spirited 'girl'. And yes, somehow got that energy that you would be excited over animals/burros like that! And wanting to take care of them. :)

I was going through particular tumblr sites yesterday, and a lot of the images just popped out "yes, this is a certain board member!", and that one came for you, as I do 'feel' you as a searching lovely sort of person with a certain amount of softness and openness. It's hard for me to explain the visuals, but I'm glad you get a sense of what I mean by just seeing them. :)

I love the one Riley found, it's just exactly you! No question. :) And the one I found, well I think the eye did it for me mainly, but I often have seen that rather dynamic sense of self struggle in you and it's half what makes you 'olife'.

I might have been subconsciously affected by walden, but I wasn't focused on the stones. I liked the idea of an intricate castle for you, something multidimensional, but I also wanted it to have a positive feel to it. http://www.ibabuzz.com/alamedajournal/files/2011/06/sand-castle1.jpg
This is the first one that grabbed my eye for you, but it was too simple, too upbeat. I didn't really think about these things much, I just browsed sculptures and if something reminded me of someone, I went with it. What I see about it now is that it overall has an upbeat feeling to it, the stones make it grounded, but there's an intricacy to it that reflects your intellect. I like that there are those little drips of sand around it - little messy piles, and that there are so many doors and angles and arches and details. There are plenty of castles that could be described like that, but they all have a darker or more traditional feel to them.
savory, I love some of the images you chose for people (zebra panda stands out), but I don't get the steer in the library - just leaves me with a question mark.
Thanks for the thread, May Hem.

With some members I've seen a few real pictures of them and so that impression sticks. The first one with the dog for Lee, the lady just looked exactly like her somehow, even down to what sort of look like glasses.

Thanks. I know what impression you give me, and it's difficult to find the exact picture, but I feel you as fairly heavy, not necessarily stubborn but that you won't be messed with and will stay firm. And, I guess the steer in the library gave me that feeling. :) Of a very grounded 'you' in a realm of information. And I remember somehow a picture you posted a long time ago of a bedroom (yours? I'm not sure, maybe I dreamt it?) so I also always picture you in that sort of shaded room with blinds/shadows/sun. I also wanted to find a picture of someone out in the wilderness walking along side a dog/wolf, as I have an impression of you also being a brave wanderer.
I feel Riley also nailed it (what I feel of you) with the phrase "haunted earth mother".
I agree, this is a cool thread Mayhem (and Manda). :)

Thanks for the elaboration, bear.
When I saw the one Aine picked for you, I had a thought which surprised me. Although you and shakti don't vibe that much alike to me, I had the thought that if your energy and hers overlapped so that they were mixed or superimposed, it would feel to me like that picture.

I think they capture my squishy positive outlook 2 element very well. They aren't as comprehensive of me as the others posted before, but Aine hasn't had as much exposure to me either. I feel they are very accurate to a specific sector of my personality and outlook, just not the whole package. I enjoyed them and I think they are pretty. I actually own a T-shirt with a floral-peace-sign-in-a-tree on it which Aine's heart-tree reminds me of. http://www.earthcreations.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_31_32&products_id=287&zenid=a3d1a098b745221d912b396901081877
The overall plants-and-critters theme fits well too.

This is quite an amazing thread, it helps illuminate various facets of people who post here or put words to some things that I had tuned into to, as well, but just didn't really have a way of holding. I feel like I know some of the people who post here better now on account of this thread.
The whole earth mother theme for me is interesting. It's a transpersonal energy that I seem to tap into quite a bit at this point. A decade or so ago, there was a personal collage that had three parts after a few days of a vision quest type of work at a workshop. The bottom most part was an image that had roots that were growing into a temple. I can't find the exact image but the link is close. I felt like I was growing down somehow, rooting, and that the process has a spiritual significance.
The middle part of the collage was an image that is a higher up view of a treetrunk that is pretty much identical to what Aine posted. To me that signified an individuating participation in shared reality. It is also a typical tree/landscape in the area where I live.
The top part (the tree top) seemed to have a set of a few themes that perhaps have to do with actualizing my specific incarnation in this lifetime.
Thanks to each of you who have posted. If I get a chance I'll comment more, but if I don't, I just want to post how significant the thread has been to me.

Thanks for explaining. I do think groundedness comes across to a lot of people, and always has. The information thing has always been a difficult connection for me to make to my type. I've never been a bookworm, at very most I read about six books a year.
And I remember somehow a picture you posted a long time ago of a bedroom (yours? I'm not sure, maybe I dreamt it?) so I also always picture you in that sort of shaded room with blinds/shadows/sun.
I don't remember that, but it may have happened. I do have shutters on the bottom half of my bedroom windows, but not blinds and no curtains. My room is painted dark because it's so bright from street lights that I had to do something to make it easier to sleep. It faces west, so it lights up as the sun sets.
I also wanted to find a picture of someone out in the wilderness walking along side a dog/wolf, as I have an impression of you also being a brave wanderer.
I walk my sweet sweet wolf in the woods every morning.
 
I feel Riley also nailed it (what I feel of you) with the phrase "haunted earth mother".
It's interesting to hear that. I don't relate to being an "earth mother" at all, but I definitely can suss out what you're both getting at. Thanks - it's worth exploring a bit.

Haha, you can always post additional ones if you want
Riley, it looks like your subconscious has opted for a pic that includes a reference to my dominant instinct. Not only so, but the fact that the same area of the photo can look either like what I've just implied or like an open, hungry mouth, suggests a symbolic connection between my type and my instinct which I do in fact experience. There is a crossover between nourishment/hunger imagery and the way I experience the sx connection drive. And whichever way one chooses to see that particular area of the picture, I notice that there is a bright star right in the middle of the open/receiving region. Innnteresting.
The tree Walden posted for Bear... feels right to me if you take away the bike. It also reminds me of one of the most pleasant dreams I've ever had... it was a few years ago... there was a huge tree like that, with a very large hollow in the base of it, the size of a room, and I went to live in there. It was a very spiritual, soul-safety kind of feeling, Aslan-like. Actually, very similar to the feel of the planet in Avatar, though my dream was years before the movie.
I like all the photos posted for me so far, but I'll say the one Walden posted for me is the one that most completely feels to me like me.

You don't feel to me like someone who has one amount or another of knowledge. You feel to me like someone who embodies the knowledge you have. Like you metabolize it and it becomes part of you. Some people only ever just wear their knowledge.
I think this embodiment of knowledge is why I almost instantly respected you and something I deeply admire. It has a depth and substance that no amount of information-retention can emulate.

I think it might also touch something that might be deep in the core of 5w4, though I don't closely know enough 5w4 to say for sure. With enforest I think it is closer to the surface -- one of my earliest exchanges with him comes to mind, which was his "chaotic 5ness" thread a couple years ago. But I think I see a similar feel to a lesser degree in my sx 5w4 nephew as well, and I even think I've very briefly glimpsed or at least smelled it in a couple of other 5w4 on this board, though they don't reveal it overtly. I doubt whether they themselves are often aware of it.
It reminds me of Russ talking about very young fives having incredibly sensitive hearts. Seeing my nephew when he was very young, I could see this so clearly. How deeply things affected him, his ecstasy at receiving his first octagon, his agony when things went wrong. His heart was more wide open than any other child I have observed.
I respond so strongly to that photo that it makes me wonder what of it I have in myself as well. I don't sense it in myself, which means it would be shadow. But I respond so strongly, it makes me suspicious. And whether the overlap has to do with 5w4 in my head fix, or whether it lends credence to my "2nd order soul child" idea, I don't know. (If you want me to look up my 2nd order soul child thread and send you the link, let me know. It was one of those that fell off the queue with zero or one replies.

Same :) I mean, I'm relatively fine (better than I was when last here...).
To you and Orpheus, reliquery's correct. Tumblr's an easy place to find things if you find the right one. More like a one-stop-shop. I don't mean to put boardies under that idea (that I'm just posting to post), but in this particular tumblr (2headedsnake) a lot of pertinent images were popping up for me, images that felt right. And there were a lot of them that expressed how I generally see people online but I couldn't think of any particular board member to put them to.
I find it kind of difficult to just image search sometimes. The right things never really come up. (i.e. so it's nice to have them in one place...).
