The Cube: Ancient Sufi Game
Do you want to try the ancient Sufi self awareness game "The Cube"? You can paint, draw, photograph, digital composite or write etc, your answers.
Here is what I created:
The Desert
Imagine a desert landscape.
It is utterly simple.
A horizon line.
Sand. Sky.
The Cube
In this desert landscape, there is a cube.
See it. Describe it.
What size is it?
Where is it?
What is it made of?
(There are no rules, no right or wrong answers. Describe the cube you see.)
The Ladder
Now:
In this landscape, as well as the cube, there is a also a ladder.
Describe it; its size, position, what its made of.
The Horse
Now:
In this desert there is also a horse.
Describe it.
What kind of horse is it?
What size? What color?
Where is it relative to the cube and ladder?
What is it doing?
The Storm
Now:
Somewhere in this landscape is a storm.
Describe it.
Where is it?
What kind of storm is it?
How does it affect-or not affect-
the cube, the ladder, and the horse?
The Flowers
Finally, in this desert are flowers.
Describe them.
How many are there?
What kind? What color?
Where are they in relation to the cube, the ladder, the horse, the storm?
What to know what each one of them means? Don't cheat by using Google. You will lose the value of imagining it. Post your descriptions and I will pm you explaining what each one of them means.
