Where every doorway is a portal...

article image placeholderUploaded by @SeekingPlumb
I am a big proponent for exercising the imagination. And I know exercise sounds like work, but what I really mean is playing. And here's how I thought we might do it today. Imagine that we are designing our own dream home. And I don't mean the kind of home you might live in in the foreseeable future. I am talking about the most outrageous, imaginative, creative home ever. Here, let me offer just a little detail. Every doorway in your home is actually a portal

Ahhhh

I wanted to open up to an incredible feast in some hedonistic, intense sort of, I don't know, crazy party that's perpetual that's always flowing with fresh the cornucopia of every kind of fruit and vegetable and baked pie and cheese and bread and wine. It's a door to, like, absolute culinary hedonism. Yeah. That door I'd walk through probably once a week at least

So I could sleep with my head in the clouds and have this amazing view looking down all over this beautiful jungle. That would be nice. Can you imagine it? Just ask. Swell. You know me, I'm an ego, and I like to soar between heaven and Earth. Christina, if you only could see how beautiful my view at this very moment, I wish I could take you on my back. Saw with me through the sky above the jungle and up into the clouds

We're going to have movie night, so it should be fun. But anyway, I don't know, maybe another doorway would be to like a countryside that's remote from any technology or people. And I could just spend time there whenever the opportunity would strike me. Thanks for asking such a question. Can you imagine the popcorn

And I would have one that opens to a farm where animals are running freely and peacefully and dogs, so many dogs who just generate love and warmth and happiness. And a door that opens to world peace as cliche as it is. I just want a door that opens to the essence of peace, peace of mind, peace of humanity, peace on Earth, the end of violence, the end of war. That opens a door that opens right into the essence of everything being okay

@DBPardes Thank you! Wish I'd thought of that!

So thank you very much for joining me in this game. Inspire me in different ways of thinking about this and in a sense, tearing down the walls. So it's not simply rooms, it's different spaces, existences and so on. Thank you again

Unity. I'm a little choked up. I've listened to this multiple times, and every time it makes me tear up, I can see it. I can imagine it. And hearing your expression and your joy of experiencing it and the music and the birds, it's like you take us there, and it's another world, another place where a lot of the petty little things we worry about don't matter. I right. And we can just appreciate the beauty that is and thank you

@FryedOreo Time!! Love it!

Can I just say how much I'm loving these responses? Where some tear down the wall so it's not simply a room, you know, some tear down the existence of the space and create something entirely new. And you is now, like, torn down any ties to time. I love it. I wish I had thought of some of these things that all of you are thinking of to be a fly on the wall

@SeekingPlumb

@ZLisbon Yes!! 🌌

I need to exercise that part of my brain. And so then I start reimagining either my home in these rooms or there's a special village I've created that I walk through before going to sleep. And I never make it inside any of those spaces. It's in the middle of the forest. The ground is covered in Moss, those big trees, and the homes are in the trees, up in the trees

That actually the relationship between humans and trees and being in a forest, there's goodness there for us and a wonderful healing thing. So for me, that's what I would do. Thank you for asking this. It made me think about the portal, and it made me think about having something like that. What would I pick? Of course, now it means I want to get in the car and drive to a forest nearby and take a long walk in it. It's. Thank you

Barbara, you are speaking my language. My living room that I imagined is nestled in that very sort of forest, those big, huge trees that you might see in the Pacific Northwest with the Ferns on the ground. And that's all you can see whenever you look out the windows. This living room is half indoor, half outdoor, so you can open the glass to sort of feel like you're in the middle of that forest, and then you can close it if you need to as well

I can actually grow many more things here because I don't have as many trees. I can have a better garden, but I miss my house that used to just be surrounded by trees. Thank you. Have a great day

@SeekingPlumb this artwork was inspired by your swell #motionart

Hey, Christina, thank you again for sharing this and doing this because I had a lot of fun. And, you know, it actually inspired me to make some artwork of my tree house in the clouds. And I will show you the results. So have fun watching. And thank you. We need to do this again

I love this unity. It's even more fantastical than I imagined. I love it. Thank you for sharing, and you're right. We definitely have to do this again

Wow, I really love this. Thank you for inviting us to play Christina, and for sharing this with me as I came kind of late to the game. It makes me think of this book that I once read, Exit West, and it's a story of this young refugee, I think, in his fiance or something

And this portal being able to just take you to the right environment for that visit, that's really beautiful. And maybe it can offer comfort from time to time. If you want to step through that metaphorical door and just visit with your daughter, that's really beautiful. Thank you for playing

My portal will be a world where I can create my own reality. Just by using my imagination, I can create the past and the future, even the present. I have the ability to build my own world. Building? Yeah. If I had a secret closet that could lead to a portal yeah. That would be my portal. That would be my secret closet. And I would probably be addicted. I'll probably lose touch with reality because I'll be so addictive, right?

@OmegaStrange "What would you do if you were God?" https://s.swell.life/STNFvn23aoxUXRX

And it goes through this sort of step by step and it's a fascinating progression. But it also ties into this idea of if we were going to create our own heaven or if we could create our own reality. Like this doorway, this portal you're talking about
