This picture makes me feel trapped. Maybe it's the red glow but something about it sends a sinister vibe. IP: Logged |

He looks like Ron Emanuel, ex Chicago mayor with bad lightning and a little skinnier. [img]https://i.ibb.co/C8bFwWn/869-CD338-8-A55-421-D-94-C3-ECF92178-AC68.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/KWtTC4d/D5-B0556-E-48-ED-4505-A796-E1-E6-E45-F3287.jpg[/img] IP: Logged |

Robert A. Monroe, someone with Scorpio Sun and who had a fairly intense "amorous" side to him, reports in one of his books of being drawn or directed to what he ended up calling "the pile". Bob was in OBE state at the time, and came across this large pile of former humans that were stuck in connection to physical energies. Apparently they had been addicted to sex and sexual pleasure during their lives, as they we were all squirming around with each other, trying to get off (like they did physically back when connected to a body), but couldn't, but they were so attached to the need/belief, and idea of same that they just kept on trying. The initial surface reason why Bob was there, was because there was an individual who he was trying to retrieve that got attracted to the pile, and jumped right in and completely forgot about Monroe and their interaction. There is a sex of a kind in the nonphysical, but it's different than the physical. It's a kind of consciousness merging, that is far more intense than physical sex and orgasm. However, one has to be more in resonation with their heart center and higher in order to merge in that kind of way with others. These stuck ones were just not in the space to realize any of this, as they were addicts and very attached to the physical (the very core reason behind stuckness nonphysically). I didn't really tune into the picture too much--this response was more based on other peoples replies. For whatever reason, the resulting discussions reminded me of Bob's pile experience, which I think he partly had in order as a caution to himself and his own strong sexual nature. Basically an indirect, guidance head's up of, "yeah, don't let yourself get too attached to it". I've found that the more I consciously attune to Source and to Love, the less and less anything of the material has a draw or attraction for me, including sex and romance. It's like that powerful red energy of the 1st center (and to a slightly lesser extent the coral pink of the 2nd center) starts to get redirected into the higher glands/centers of the 4th, 6th and 7th especially, and works more to stimulate these than get dissipated in and through the first 3 centers which is so common/typical for most humans. I believe this process and awareness is the original inspiration and intent behind some of the older Taoist beliefs and practices, and the seeking of immortality. For, if one continually raises the Kundalini to the 7th Center for a 7 year period, it can and will lead to the conversion of the slow vibratory animal human body to that of the Light "body"/seeming form, that is no longer limited by or subject to the rule sets of this dimension. This is Heaven on Earth (or Earth translated to Heaven), and far more enjoyable, joyous, and fulfilling than any earthly and body based pleasures, including sex, could ever be. Self has had little tastes and glimpses of this state, but doesn't keep it up (pardon the double pun...) for long enough to get anywhere with it. Someone in the background yells, "He needs some spiritual Viagra STAT!" Whah whah. IP: Logged |

GalacticCoreExplosion, basically, you say here that to get our minds out of the gutter 😊 Yeah, a lot of art pieces could be ruined with that approach. I saw much worse subjects than brothel in art class, but can’t help.IP: Logged |

They are literally groping each other, on the left. In the middle, is a woman wearing lingerie, next to a man who seems to have picked her up. The woman in the front, who gets our attention first, is sitting there, just looking right at the camera. I thought she was supposed to be the main draw - the quote itself says that she hasn't had the same luck as others, that night.We don't need to get our minds out of the gutter. IP: Logged |

He is not slightly crooked bc of lack of confidence, he has an intense focused look on his face and if you keep in mind the look he has on his eyes, he exudes confidence and like he knows were he is going and what he wants but yes he might have an addiction to cigarettes, sex and a certain lifestyle that has taken a toll on his body and soul but he also has this air of mystery and gives me the impression that deep down he would like to have something with more depth. Out of everyone there I would talk to him and have a drink with him but he is tired, he is also trapped trying to fill a void but there is intelligence in his eyes and I at least think he is somewhat interesting, I can't say that for anybody else in that picture.

I love how you detached yourself from the picture and remained objective about what you sense and see without your sexual identify influencing your opinion on it. I also feel you really gave a wonderful analysis on the picture! I truly enjoyed reading your analysis on the picture. I agree that it looks super posed, the only thing that doesn't look posed to me is the older guy walking towards the right and maybe this is why I gravitate more towards him, he is going somewhere at least and looks focused and not distracted by anything going on around him, I get a plutonic vibe from him.

I wasn't so sure that it was posed. Maybe Christelle, in the front, but the girl in the middle, looked to me like she'd just noticed the camera. I like reading the different impressions. IP: Logged |

I agree that the women in the front is setting the tone of the picture bc she is the main draw...I also feel she looks irritated to be there and trapped like she rather not be there lol, I feel this is the trapped feeling people are picking up on....I don't think she is bummed out that she is not hooking up with someone, I think she feels trapped and irritated and does not want to be there in the first place... I don't know it could be boredom and loneliness but I sense she feels uncomfortable and does not truly want to be there. Whether she feels lonely and bored and doesn't want to be there or irritated and trapped and doesn't want to be there, she feels uncomfortable and that sets the tone of the picture... IP: Logged |

I didn't think she was bothered to be alone, either. The focus in that corner, feels claustrophobic. I thought she looked a little irritated, too.
