S030L - Symbolism of the Brown Lotus
This mini-series of posts gives the spiritual and metaphysical symbolic correspondences of the lotus and each of 12 colors which correspond with the 12-sided dodecahedron die.
Other symbols minted in NFTs include the Dragon and Dragonfly. All can be used in a self-customized practice of personal growth with 'The AHA! Mantra: Attracting Higher Aspects (of Oneself'.)
When one listens relaxed, repetition helps to memorize and align with the mantra.
When the mantra is memorized, and a dodecahedron die is rolled with consecrated intention for the number of the day, the color can be visualized while deep breathing to increase the potency of the practice.
This can be done in any combination with or without listening to a brainwave entrainment soundscape.

A CALL TO COMMUNITY
Does anyone in the Cardano community have or know of property, or a living situation, which could be purchased or leased for ADA or native tokens?
Our lease will expire and we don't want to renew. The first of March is a general timeframe for making a commitment, with moving before May. We are a senior couple, American and German, together since 2000.
We'd like a setting in a milder climate (or at least with heating choices) and a garden space / fruit trees / food forest. Response by DM is great, with time for talking it over to assure a win-win. This will be posted for awhile, and all possibilities considered.

S030D - Symbolism of the Brown Dragon
12 different-colored dragons are minted as Soul Vehicle NFTs on JPG Store. This mini-series within the Sol Series of posts gives the spiritual and metaphysical symbolic correspondences of the dragon and each color. Other symbols minted include the Lotus and Dragonfly. All can be used in a self-customized practice of personal growth.
The 12 colors, numbers and other aspects can be associated with the 12 facets of the dodecahedron die for divination. When the die is rolled with consecrated intention and the number contemplated with intuitive feeling, the messages revealed are often insightful for the soul path and personal growth. Further understanding may be revealed in subsequent dreams. Also, energetic downloads of active information (a term by physicist David Bohm) may be received from the Source I Am, based on the number rolled. Readers can delve deeply into this on the Whole Human website.
