Dark red represents the true self as the one consciousness. It forms the background for the universe or divine nature. We see the universe \/ divine (teal) manifested into physical form, abstracted here as what could be interpreted as either a leaf or a dancer with arms raised and a long flowing skirt. From the bottom right we see echos of a signal sent from the true self towards the higher intuition (yellow\/gold) at the top left which responds with intention to manifest. This intention to manifest gives a nod the Big Bang as the physical form becomes real. Feelings and concepts include…minimalism (this is a simple stage), the joy of the divine manifested in the physical form, delight, intention to become the physical, and the Big Bang as birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
