Part1 Help me to develop my thought.

I've seen you post this or something much like this before, and may have followed what you were trying to describe a little better this time. I'll see if I can do alright at being concise while trying to describe how I see and sort out the more abstract and surreal seeming things in life, through how colors might relate (or at least could be used like language as a sorting system and structure of understanding) to the different sides of our core human self - like our different states of mind and ways of thinking/feeling our life experiences and memories throughout our various ages and situations. This is taking into consideration where each color is seen in nature throughout our ancestry and what it may have been associated with and meant in the past as well as where it seems most often seen/used in the present, in street signs and figures of speech/expressions, and even the general vibe or typical behaviors and interests of someone who's most often seen wearing and driving blue or purple or red or green. The fact that we all don't have the same favorite colors kind of shows our differences, variations, and preferences, and outlook on life even, for those who have eyes, ears, and minds that notice even the little things. It maybe shows that we each might have different associations with the very same colors (not unlike each having our own positive, negative, or neutral feelings about the same person, place, or thing), while still having some commonalities in how we think and experience life. Same core characteristics, interests, and behavioral traits that have always been a part of your core self (even way back when you were a child, like more shy/outgoing or more into things that go "VROOOOM!!")

BROWN is like roots, log books made of pages made of trees that used to be that will one day fall apart and return to the dry brown leaves and traces of things that once were present and now are no longer entangled or as very relevant or open, just "it is what it is" "water under the bridge" neutral stuff. The structure of your memory warehouse and maybe the background wallpaper of your home, but.... PINK is more of what you fill and share your home and personal life with, and things that are more resonant with you personally and positively, like your favorite music, favorite people, places, things, hobbies, interests, and what you would like to have with you if you got stranded on a desert island but had shelter, food, clothes, and basic needs taken care of. Rest, comfort, compassion, health, love, all the good stuff that would be nice to find more of

ORANGE: is your vehicle, fuel, drive, and that warm controlled fire in the fireplace in your home. The needs that have to be met or else bad things happen like no food, no water, no power, no gas, but that will immediately make a positive difference and improvement in your life almost as soon as you get to work on it. Chaotic neutral reality checks that force you to stay on track and on task. Steady and sustainable flow state while in it, and only tips into the red zone when these things go ignored and adding to the pile of things to deal with some other time.

RED is conflict, biggerness, fear, or repellant opposition, like the anti-hero who thinks, says and does whatever the polar opposite of you and always seems to get in your way just to fuck with you or something. Anger can over-ride better judgement and longer term cause-and-effect considerations whenever it throws us into this over-drive "fight or flight" mode, but this is like the Auroboros, the vicious cycle, or "the grudge" in that it will remain a force to be reckoned with so long as it remains a sore spot so close to the surface that others are so easily able to push your buttons and flip your switches into an overblown reaction or impulsive eruption or emotional outburst. This is the only one of these 8 categories that is "bad" or "negative", and when resolved and fixed, it flips to a green light and positive characteristic, advantage, or benefit. Red is the things that suck to look and even hurt to face and take on, but that won't stop popping up as another costly (NOT worth it) waste of time and effort on something that never ends well unless/until better understood and resolved.

GREEN is new understanding that makes better sense out of something and that resolves something, like a new bridge built or new terrain to explore, but the key word here is "new" and first impressions as well as first commitments and alligned goals do matter too, so this is a better time for noticing things and asking questions, and rushing in too quickly and too accepting of everything can hasten the next difficult life lesson that you may have to learn through trial and error next, while taking your time and just doing your best at something new is usually the smarter move when you cross into something new and exciting/interesting. One can get carried away from tracking cause and effect outcomes of words and choices when overwhelmed by positive emotions too.

YELLOW/GOLD: What are the wisest words and quotes that you've ever heard that seem to have been proved to be true in and of your own life experience? What are you verifiably and reproducibly better than average at? What do you bring to the table (good music, good food, artistic ability, good at maths?) and what are the tools of self-confidence and self-esteem and practical real world abilities that you're working with. Confidence, sage advice, gems of verifiable and experiential, pretty well grounded truths. How can something old (from the brown zone maybe) be traded up for something new or shared with someone else to help them find their own inner gold too?

BLUE: like exploring the wide open ocean under the wide open sky, wandering, wondering, and contemplating the "what if"s and "maybe"s that exist in your own great unknowns. Things that may or may not matter or become relevant one day, not entirely calm like brown, not highly motivated with any sense of urgency like orange, just kind of seemingly random things floating by unless/until the next solid person, place, or thing is found to bring back to solid ground.

...and PURPLE: might be where your "warden" concept and my color concepts both reside: In the wardrobe of how we appear to others through our choice of words, choice of clothes, what we dream about, identify with, engage with, how we see ourselves in contrast to how we're seen by others from an external perspective, and basically the fruits of the tree of shared culture. How you and I fit in with the other people in our lives who we share this external world (which has existed, still exists, and will exist with and without our awareness of it). How we see our sense of purpose, power, and transcendent roles and influences on each other. Our legends, mysteries, ideal "wishing on a star" goals that might seem out of reach but still worth at least moving closer to that purpose or type of people, or ideal, or dream. It is important to remember that these are just words, and different ways of understanding our variations and different kind of experiences within reality, and at the core of this is you as a living, breathing, waking, sleeping, eating, pooping, drinking, peeing, constantly exchanging and interacting human being. Purple is just how we express our best guesses so far of where we're at and our currently identified alligned strategy that legend has it will result in the accomplishment of that purpose, ideal, or goal. Do you like books and movies? What type? I bet others who are into that same cultural type of fruit have other interests in common too and whether you call it "magic" or "god" or "synchronicity" or the natural cause and effect inclinations that come from different kinds of "formative years" and different types of life experiences that have been seen as real and no less true even if/when what's real and relevant to me may not seem very real or relevant or even worth reading or thinking about to someone else.

For whatever it's worth, I hope it helps.
