Being World: Trails & Portals
In the hidden world where Beings dwell, mysticism intertwines with everyday life. Portals, often cloaked in secrecy, connect diverse locations and communities, such as the expansive Manta Network. Here, Beings engage in "Thought Trails" or "Vision Trails," a practice blending intention, gratitude, and divine connection.
Trails
Trails are experiences designed by Beings and groups, sometimes including humans, functioning as galleries, classrooms, and venues. They may be designed for fitness, health, or meditative arts. Trails often incorporate symbols, with the triangle being the most common.
Types of Trails
- Physical Trails: These are tangible journeys enhanced by art, music, and sensory experiences. Basic Physical Trails involve arrangements of polyhedra, art, and food to create immersive experiences.
- Thought Trails: Mystical practices where Beings unify with the divine, declare intentions, express gratitude, and release their stake in the manifestation process. These spiritual rituals may be accompanied by sensual ceremonies.
- Single Traveler Trail: A personal journey that invites an individual to explore their inner world within the sacred geometry of their Traveler (a personal tetrahedron structure).
- Anniversary Trails: Celebrations of love and connection, blending art, passion, and creativity.
One Frequency Nation
"One Frequency Nation" exemplifies how Trails integrate into the Being world, where art, music, food, and nature combine to elevate spirits and open hearts. This includes markers along the trail, such as:
- The Whispering Pines
- The Feast of Senses
- The Reflection Pool
- The Circle of Fire
Each marker is designed to create connection and transformation.
