Funhouse VisualizationYou are at a carnival, and you enter a "fun house".
Do you give the carnie a ticket, coins, or money?
Does he just let you on by? What does he look like?
does he seem to be operating any machinery?
What is the weather like? What does the entrance
and outside look like? Is it a scary house or
a silly house?You walk through the entrance and onto a path with
spinning disks. Which way do you spin? Do you
get dizzy? Do you simply hop across them onto
the stairs?The stairs take you onto a swinging bridge. Is the bridge
rubbery-bouncy, or wood, or metal? Do you swing and bounce?
Do you rush across it?Check the background. Is it colorful? Is it dark?
Do you hear music in the background?At the end of the stairs is a maze of mirrors. Describe
yourself in the different distortions you see. Do
any of the distortions look like your actual self-perception?
Do you stop and play, or do you head on to the glass
maze?How do you find your way through the maze? Do you figure
your way through the optical illusion? Do you use
geometry? Do you simply bump your way through it,
touching the glass? When you touch the glass, do
you leave fingerprints?At the end of the maze is a fireman's pole, a slide,
and some stairs. All lead to the small opening at
the end of the house. Which do you take? How does
it feel?You must cross through two openings to make the exit.
The first is a large, spinning wheel. Do you ride
the wheel all the way around, do you tread sideways
to get across it, do you hop or somersault over it?The second is a large doorway that simply rocks back
and forth. Do you ride it for awhile, do you try
to dance on it or toss a penny to see it slide
back and forth? Do you just hop down it without
gyrating with it?And at the end of the journey, how does the world
look? What does the carny look like? What does
the road look like?I hope you all choose to share your experience!
Blessed Be!
