When You look at this Pic, how do you feel?

[Falco Rex]

I was using satire to prove a very real point about what our human biological urges can do to sabotage our quest to understand the great mysteries of the universe...

..Well; that's what they do to me anyway..

[EdgyWizard]

It definately has a calming vibe to it!

I was going to destroy the universe and evertything in it tonight, but I looked at that pic and now I'm so chilled out.

You know what? I think I'll let the universe alone for another night....

[Falco Rex]

Hey, don't let some silly picture psych you out of living your dreams! I say go for it!!

[EdgyWizard]

Nah! I'm trying to cut down

Maybe If i limit myself to a planet a day......

[Falco Rex]

How about starting with Uranus? I hear that place is a real Hell hole..

..Sorry, but it's not everyday you get a set-up like that..

Sort of made me feel like obliterating a peaceful village.

Burnside! How can you say its a girls Titbit? It takes two to create sex magic, the depths of this picture contains an invocation of tanrtic sexuality deep within it which is the most tantalising experience, may I suggest you look again for this picture is very magical.

Earthygirl, you are not lacking anything for you have already said that you see serenity within this picture, which I first saw. It was only when I looked deeper into it , I saw all these other things too. Look deeper into the center of the picture until it draws you in, then I know you will see it too.

Earthygirl,,,it made me a little cross-eyed too! Otherwise, I also saw a certain sexual aspect within the painting as others have stated. Maybe thats because I'm a man. Seriously though, I wonder if it depicts a fetus' point of view during birth??? Hmmmmmm. Maybe it's representitive of the moment of death, which is said to be the utmost of peace and tranquility. It also reminds me of an exploding star, or a close-up shot of the Sun's surface. That would certainly make you feel warm. The fact is, it's an impressionist's painting, you can see whatever you're mind projects within the swirls of yellows.

However, I have meditated for more years than I'd like to admit. Therefore, I know that bright yellows is not colors that are normally inducive to reaching a state of deep relaxation. Usually the colors that we use as focal points are blues, grays and blacks. I am however going to grab the pic and play with it a bit-just for the fun of it. First impressions are often decieving,,,ya know? I might find it amazing,,,that is when I'm in a more relaxing setting than I am in at this moment.

It made me sneeze.

BTW,,,I believe that the reason that so many people are posting that this pic makes them angry is that yellow is one of the colors of anger, rage and hostlity. I just had to add this post-script. For the record, anger is NOT one the feelings that this work invokes in me. Hey, I get angry alot, but this painting just doesn't do it for me. Nevertheless, I thought THIS would be an interesting "tidbit," (of a different kind than previously mentioned though.)

[scottishpoltergeist]

At first, I experienced a feeling of love, and then that God was looking over me. I am not feeling any calmer, mind you. I think it is also peaceful too.

By unfocusing my eyes, the thing became 3 slightly dimensional and I could see a face that looked much like the peice of sculture that Seventh Son had on his posting - this was before I saw SS's posting.

  It made me sneeze. 

[happyface102]

It made me feel sick. I feel like I should just go hug the toilet.

[nightbird]

the colour is all wrong. it should be blue and white and in between.

the patterns reminded me of heaven , and Buddha for some reason, even though I am not buddhist nor christian.

but I couldnt look at it for too long....the colour was just too bright and made my eyes hurt.....

[Chingko]

For me, I see a picture of an angel. Its a little boy angel with hands together saying his prayer and kneeling down. It makes me feel good.

[Subtemperate]

It makes me feel destructive and angry...... But that probably says more about me then the picture really....

[skullgirl]

actually it kind of calmed me...dunno why maybe just the soft color or that im just a kid

[hippy_girl1985]

hello i saw something moving , it looked really small like a person dancing but maybe i was looking at it to long lol

[Deadly Nightshade]

Yes thats one of the things I saw Hippy girl as I gazed right into the very center of it, when it sucked me in, I saw the goddess of love dancing, sort of luring me deeper.
