Default Monarchs Mental Image

// Start The Road Interview "copy between the tags" //

This is an imaginery journey down a road. Take in the sights, sounds and colours, just like a video camera recording all that lies surrounding you. Survey the scene, noticing whatis far off in the distance, the background surrounds, the weather, the season and a total image of what you view. Feel the ground beneath your feet. Try to visualize it as a picture on a canvas, but with movement, sound, colour and emotion. You are the surveyor on this journey. Draw your journey on paper if you desire, as it often shows clearer results, then attach your drawing via snapshot or scan to your post.

Q1. What colour is the road? red
Q2. What texture is the road? smooth
Q3. How solid is the road? thick concrete

You continue walking and come to a river that must be crossed. There before you is the river; the size and depth are up to you. You cannot go around it but must imagine a way to cross it. Whatever you need to cross the river is already within your mind, just imagine seeing yourself do it.

Q4. How do you cross the river? push a tree over and walk across it
Q5. What does the water look like? thick and choppy, dark blue with green specs.
Q6. How fast is the water current? very fast, rushing and swirling
Q7. Is there anything in the water? If so, what? plants, like kelp being pulled by the fast water.

You have crossed the river and continue walking. You come to a house. Take a good look at the house. Notice the impression it makes on you.

Q8. What colour is the house? brown
Q9. What condition is the house in? good, 2 white windows a red door, no trees
Q10. Does anyone live in the house? If so, who? I don't know, I don't think so, to scared to ask.

We continue forward in our minds journey and come to an open field. A cup is on the ground, and we stop to examine it. The cup can be of any size, shape, colour and description. Focus on it's look, condition and contents.

Q11. What colour is the cup? white styrafoam
Q12. What condition is the cup in? totally perfect
Q13. Is there anything in the cup? If so, what? nope it is empty.

You continue walking down the road and come to something blocking your path. It stops you in your tracks and prevents you from going forward. This is an obstacle.

Q14. What is the obstacle, and please describe it in detail? no obstacle, the road just stops
Q15. What do you see beyond the obstacle? nothing, blackness.

Now you have had a break, go back to every question and look at your response. Try and find what you feel that your mind presented the image it did. Explain colours you chose, textures, water, cup, solids, liquids, space, objects, people, anything and everything that you wrote from your projected image, try and find what you feel to why you have that image. Don't look hard at things, instead try and look for the easy answers, as they are often the correct one's. Don't attempt to find something that isn't present, just look at each aspect for its absolute simplicity.

This is not an absolute, but something you must do in order to try and self analyse yourself. This is important. Please answer what you can, and simply define if you cannot find an emotion to a response you gave.

I think the road is solid, because i long to be on solid ground with something underneath me that will hold me up and never fail me.

The house was hard for me, I could see it rom a distance but I couldn't walk up to in or knock on the door, this envokes fear in me and I froze.

The road just ends...maybe because I don't know where to go.
