The double ladder, also, may suggest two parallel areas for your goals : could be family and work, art and technique, etc. A duality of sorts :) A ladder below the cube suggests that they are relatively insignificant to you. Ladder detached from the cube - ambitions away from you. To further help you understand your cubes, here is a little introduction to "submodalities". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "submodalities" of perception vary slightly from person to person (the tendency to perceive more through touch, through sounds, etc.). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try this at home, as an addendum/side note to the cube : 1) Start by picturing something VERY NEGATIVE (an object works best) - it is important you start in this order, it is CRUCIAL to your well being. Allow it to become clear in your mind. Then spot where that image appears in your field of view. Spot the colors, contrast, size, etc. characteristics of this very negative image. 2) Proceed by picturing something VERY POSITIVE (an object works best) - Do the same exercises as in step one : observe how small, how big, how bright, how dark... the positive image appears. Then let go of the mental representations. Whatever happened, the negative thing's picture has very different characteristics from the positive one. :) These are YOUR submodalities : it hints at the way your brain binds sensory informations and memory - bad means dark to some, it means loud to others, it means sharp to others again. Some submodalities are very common, but many vary also. The cube is a mental "hack" in that all human beings will represent that object, and the rest of what is in the scene in relation to the areas of their self perception I outlined above. But representation of the details may have different meanings - for different submodalities. ...If this is of interest to you, I recommend catching up on the threads about NLP I posted in the philo forum : while this is not an exact science right now, it is absolutely amazing. Next thing... If the mind has a "rom" (the cube and other common internal representations). And some case-by-case "instruction sets" (submodalities are part of that). Then it can be reprogrammed. This is the premise of NLP : the cube itself aims at simply enhancing "connection to the self", it is very genuine and fun. But can you imagine kicking off phobias, insomnia, or drug addiction this way? Thousands of psychologists worldwide do. One of the fathers of this kind of "magic" (Milton) took it as far as PREVENTING PARALYSIS of some muscles for a child - by setting her in a mental state where she would use other muscles reflexes to stimulate the paralyzed area inadvertently, and repeating the exercise. While it is not yet the panacea, it is being extensively studied for AI also - and one of the papers I posted over in the Philo forum, speaking about the "7 matrices model", is still sending shivers down my spine as it probably is the very best description of the human mind I have ever read. The cube involves matrices of "the self" and "the world" (and later on, will involve the "matrix of others"). :) And that should wrap it up for now. Game on.
