I really liked it. Of course, it was my mom’s suggestion, but I genuinely loved it. And now I want to recall all of that, record it — when and during which periods I preferred the color red. Right now I don’t want to mention scattered moments, so as not to confuse things, because there were so many interesting moments of what I preferred at different times. And now it’s possible to connect that with what periods of life those were — whether they were prosperous or not, what season it was, what Spirit was present at that time. It’s very intriguing. That’s what I’ll be working on today.
What else? Well, what they write online — that red is connected to sexual energy — on one hand, yes, it’s true. But again, we need to look closer at where that energy actually is. Because look, I feel this fire inside — in my chest and hands — and if I’m not mistaken, in Hinduism (but I need to reread it), somewhere in Hinduism or Buddhism it’s said that the fire center is in the stomach, and elsewhere it’s said that it’s in the lower chakra. So I still need to figure that out. Of course, I could’ve already read everything in advance and drawn conclusions, but I want to document this journey — just to note these curious thoughts. I’m going to decipher and solve it all anyway. But for now, I’m just recording what’s going through my head. Yes, red is associated with... Let’s take the stereotypical thinking, what society has cultivated over the last hundred years — the common associations with red, besides the bull charging at it. That red equals sexual energy — that’s the first one. Really, if I asked any random person on the street right now, many would agree, even though they don’t know why — they’ve just been conditioned by society. What else has society imposed about red? The association with China — because red is everywhere in their culture. Then, if you start to understand that red is fire, the next immediate association for everyone is what? Money. For some reason, red means money, it means fire, and it means sexual energy. And on one hand, based on my observations as of today, I’d probably mark it like this: red is insane confidence, insane energy, love, and money. It’s really fascinating. And how is it that I hadn’t encountered this before — or at least not consciously — and only now reached this point? But it’s incredibly curious. It’s truly interesting, a completely new insight for me, and I’m thrilled by it. What excites me is that my adventure — this journey, this path — continues. And this is just... wow.
