I’m a little unwell today so have dug into my archives and found this little ditty, which is quite fun. This happened a few years ago, travelling through Bali post leaving big bad corporate life. Do the activity alongside the read. I dare ya…
I was sitting quietly with a drink last night when Pauley came and sat with me, uninvited. He was harmless enough.
Pauley is a young Finish boy who looks and sounds Swedish and is none too impressed if you mistake him to be this way!
He asked if I would like to hear a magic trick.
Sure, tell me your magic trick.
It was about connection and not a magic trick at all, BTW.
He asked me to build a pyramid in my mind.
So I did.
He then asked me to colour it and decide what it would be made out of.
I did that.
Then I had to build an entrance and decide where the ladder would be. Would it be in the middle, at the top, at the bottom?
OK, got that.
Now, put flowers where you would like to and put as many as you would like to.
Ok, got that too.
Now imagine you have a horse. Think about how that horse’s temperament is. For example, is he a wild horse?
Ok Pauley, I’ve imagined all this and have a very clear picture. What does this all mean?
Here are the results;
Pauley: So, what colour is your pyramid?
Lynda: Yellow.
Pauley: Yellow means that you are vibrant and happy.
Pauley: What is the pyramid made out of?
Lynda: Sandstone.
Pauley: Meaning it is opaque, which means that you give a lot to people. That is what you are about. But you also do not do enough to give to yourself.
Lynda: Ah, I see. What else?
Pauley: How big is the pyramid?
I jokingly signed a MASSIVE pyramid with my hands. It was from above my head, out to as far as my arms could stretch and across my torso.
Pauley: And that is the size of your ego.
Sh*t.
Pauley: And how many flowers do you have and where are they placed?
Lynda: I actually only have two flowers. They are roses which sit on either side of the entrance to the pyramid.
Pauley: That means there are two people in your inner circle which are very close to you. You hold them both on equal footing because you have made them the same flower. Think about those two people. Who are they?
(I’m still thinking about this one. I love SO many people in my life.)
Pauley: Now the horse. What temperament was the horse?
Lynda: He was actually tame, very obedient and loyal.
Pauley: (Giggles.) Well, that is the nature of your future partner.
I had to giggle myself about that one. I mean, obedient? Poor future husband.
Pauley: And where did you place the ladder to the entrance?
Lynda: It was a little ladder with only two steps because the door is down the bottom and in the middle.
(I actually thought this was an obvious answer.)
Pauley: Ah. Well that means you are uncertain about the future. That you have a couple of steps mapped out but you are unsure where to go after that.
Lynda: Hmm.
Pauley: Well, thank you for connecting with me.
And that was it!
Don’t you think it’s remarkable how some people come into your life for literally minutes and still teach you something (in amongst tongue in cheek)?
Even if this little ditty is b/s, it got me thinking. I do still have work to do on my ego. I would like a loyal (perhaps not too obedient) partner, I do give to others and perhaps don’t balance myself on occasion AND I am at the beginning of a transformational journey which is not entirely mapped out yet… but it’s becoming less mystical every day!
What does your pyramid look like?
With love
Lynda
