User Guide – Online Symbol Set
Tap Inner Knowing Through a Guided Process
The Online Symbol Set is organized according to the Goal Journey — a specific method to help get insights in terms of reaching a goal.
CHOOSE A TOPIC
First determice your topic. What do you want to get insights about? What problem do you want to solve or decision to make? It can be about any subject of personal interest, such as job, love, money, health, etc., whatever matters to you. (Example: How can I be more successful at my job?)
SYMBOL SELECTION
Each time you load or refresh the page for the Online Symbol Set, three new symbol cards are randomly dealt for the Goal Journey. These are:
1. You Now 2. Problem 3. Goal
1. You Now 2. Problem 3. Goal
SIX-STEP GUIDED PROCESS
Players develop their own interpretation of the symbols in any way desired. Below is a suggested step-by-step process to aid in interpretation. In terms of the Goal Spread, think about how you can reach the Goal from You Now and deal with the Problem, which is something that may be getting in the way.
1. First Impressions
Catch yourself as you first see what each symbol it is. Do you have a quick, intuitive first impression? If so, take note of it.
2. Keywords
What are the keywords and text on the symbol cards? What do these make you think of, what is involved in your situation?
3. Levels of Consciousness
What is the “Level of Consciousness” of each of your symbols? Refer to the chart below. How are these levels are currently involved about you and your topic? (Star Journey’s seven Levels of Living are from the Circle Pattern chart, which shows how symbols are connected into a whole, see bottom of Symbol Set page.)
4. Picture Stories
Now do some visualizing and learn more. In your mind, freely imagine a single scene, one that contains all three symbols (and yourself if you like). Take note of how you see the symbols interacting, and think about how this relates to your topic or challenge. What feelings come up for you, what impressions, what physical sensations do you associate with this picture?
5. Best Picture
No matter what you first imagined in the step above, now consciously form another mental picture. This time, imagine the best way you can see the symbols interacting (and with you if you like). This “best picture” symbolically represents how best to utilize this new information to improve your situation
6. Plan of Action
Based on what you’ve seen and learned, what steps can you now take with the real life situation? Use the Best Picture to translate your insights into positive and constructive action.
