GAIA

Gaia is a goddess of the earth, a divine embodiment of nature and the life-giving force that sustains all living things. Her breath is the wind that rustles the leaves, and her heartbeat is the pulse of the oceans and the rivers that flow through the land. She is a symbol of the unity of all things, of the interconnected web of life that sustains us all. In the presence of Gaia, we are reminded of the beauty and majesty of the natural world, and the importance of respecting and preserving its delicate balance.

Inside each person there is a universe. The universe is filled with colorful twists and turns that create a complex labyrinth. This universe has no end or no beginning. It is described as a miracle because others cannot define it. Even the person in possession of their universe has trouble translating the messages it sends. They cannot contain it to a definite fact.

Inside the universe lives Id, Ego, and Superego. Three powerful personalities that write the narrative of your conscious mind. They lie in the shadows of your universe, hidden from the being they control.

Id is a devilish personality. With bloody fangs and an offensive smile, he is deemed to be evil. Id is a misunderstood creature. He acts on impulses of the flesh. He is the purveyor of self, pushing the Being to be selfish. Whatever the Being wants, the Id believes they should get. He walks through the Being with an arrogant demeanor and lack of morality. He is blind to the impact he has on others, instead being a brash advocate for the Being’s desires.

Superego is a celestial personality. Her wings are as white as snow with a face that glows through the dark tunnels of the universe. Her aura is angelic and good. She holds the being accountable. Her gold encrusted scale of justice is finely tuned through the experiences of the Being. With a watchful eye she notes the effects of the Beings’ decisions. She shames the Being when it is wrong and praises it when it deserves to be rewarded.
