The Cube that is your Soul: Decorate it

[Keeper]

I don't know how long ago it was, but when I was younger, I had a thought that exited me to no end. I shared the idea, because that is what it was about, and I used to to learn about others. It has been a long time since I thought about it since, but I will tell you all now, so that I can see your thoughts on this. If this is in the wrong area, feel free to move it. Imagine: You have been given a small area of Land: About Two hundred meters large. It is actually a cube, but how High above the ground, or how low it is sunk in all depends on you. A hundred meters up, and then a hundred down? Two hundred straight up and no subterranean area? That is your decision. You can fill it anyway you like: Hills, buildings, monsters, magic, anything you can think of you would like to fill that place with. Any type of sky; any type of land. But here is the catch: Your land is sealed. There is nothing beyond it; the only other place you can go is to others lands, but only if they let you. You live in a cube, and its walls cannot be seen through. What do you fill it with, Immortal? What do you do? Of course, Two Hundred meters is not actually that big, so you can have any size ... within reason. Planet size is out of the question, but maybe Seven Miles or so ...? How it is set is permanent, so choose wisely ...

Very interesting idea. I like it. Can mine be a little planet, like in The Little Prince? (P.S. How exactly would this work? Do we describe it? Draw a picture?)

Very interesting idea. I like it. Can mine be a little planet, like in The Little Prince? wellllll ... Okay, you get a VERY small planet (P.S. How exactly would this work? Do we describe it? Draw a picture?) Anyway you like, just as long as you can express what it contains

You know it probably sounds weird but that makes me feel claustrophobic just thinking about it. Its funny because I could probably easily live in a large house or a small town without ever leaving and be totally happy. Doesn't really have anything to do with the size but the fact that you can never leave.

Yeah I don't like this cube. Sounds like hell (note* not starting a religious discussion) especially if you're immortal. I'd make it as big as possible, as diverse as possible and then spend an eternity going all Buddha and trying to escape.

Very interesting idea. I like it. Can mine be a little planet, like in The Little Prince? EXACTLY what I was thinking. Three volcanoes, one dormant...

I'd install the holodeck from Star Trek. That way I can simulate whatever I want, including having more space in the cube.

I would fill it to the rim with hot chicks.

Finally got some time to sketch my soul. That's what it looks like but no time to explain it now.

I've got an idea for this that comes forth out of an idea I've had before about perception that I named "The Gridlines" After a couple of magic mushroom experiences and indepth contemplation of Dreaming I came up with this idea: The world is a perceptive illusion that holds no absolute truth. What we see and percieve could be within a shperical bubble if your will. This bubble would be around us and on the inner surface of this bubble are gridlines like a 3Dcompass all around you; You're sense of space basically. These gridlines indicate Up(Zenith), down(Nadir), North, East, South and West. Now onto the inner-surface of the sphere the Perception of Reality is projected making it seem as if we're free to roam through an external world, while in fact the only true enviroment is that hollow sphere and it's gridlines you are walking in. Nevertheless is the reality of what you can percieve, and the length you can travel in the "Illusionairy" external world projected onto the inner surface of the sphere, very real in your experience. CONCLUSION: My inner place could be a ball that is just big enough for me to stand upright inside of it and be able to stretch my arms and legs all directions without hitting the sphere's surface. Now it doesn't matter that my "cube", sphere in this case, is a rediculously small space, because inside there, with the projections of external worlds all around you, you have found infinity in the smallest space imaginable THAT would be my cube. I should really draw it to clearify it. And it'll probably be one of my last posts since I'm soon leaving this forum. The atmosphere, which once was so joyfull and enthusiastic, is now hostile, intolerant and therefor unpleasant. So I'm fed up with that. I'm gunna miss alot of you kind, brightminded, tolerant DV-members out there.
