Dynamism of opposites

Tracey! Triple Burner is very interesting! So you can overlay that too? And I do so want to play the Transformation game. I wish we could all play it together too!

Thoughts on my b & W floor... I've wondered if the floor represented that for me, being stuck between the two worlds, the duality of that, in and out at the same time, I do see the floor as symbol of duality. The meaning black and white squared floor has for me is of course the dual nature of things, inner outer, positive and negative (space),
but I have always thought of it as the Unity of those opposites, a symbol of Duality, but creating balance, the black and white checkers/diamonds, squares fit together to form an integrated whole. Like Yin Yang, balance in Nature.

I see the connection between Spirit and Matter there also.

Sometimes I've thought of a 'reality grid', if I could imagine it as a geometric physical thing, matter, substance, like I try to convey sometimes in my artwork, it would be a matrix, like the b& w floor and if I journey beyond this reality, I think the b& w checks symbolise this dimensional shift nicely... for me anyway.

But after that first time, I never saw or experienced black and white again. After "breaking through" it was very different than that first time.

There is also the literally 'becoming' the floor, (like becoming the paint on a wall!)
becoming that state of unity of all.

I see kind of a mix of all of that, with the duality of being 'split'. Definitely "what does it mean to ME?"

Did you know the Templar and Masonic temples have these floors? I've seen it on some Tarot cards too. The Hierophant and the High Priestess. The Heirophant floor being diamond shaped... AWAKENING and the High Priestess is squared off...Duality.

Rhama atop the two horses, black and white...hmm... I could babble on and on...

I was afraid that first time, freaked out but strangely not because I was IN the floor, but more because I didn't know what the heck was happening at all!

I am way less afraid of the unknown, absolutely, in that deep deep sense...
although I am still having to deal with the daily fears of going out in the world to try something new, putting myself out there. That is often so much more frightening to me than completely letting go of reality as I know it.

Maybe it's all the same thing though, I mean I would be changing, recreating my Reality by facing those fears.

thanks tracey and A for sharing all of this.
