An Exotic Compass To Your Emotional Self
In FERUS TEL you are given a means to hold court with the moods (FERUS) that control your everyday experiences and to see the underlying drives (TELS) which in turn control them.
The FERUS offer mirrors to the very monsters that you wake to each morning;
the ones causing you true pain,
the ones carrying you away with yourself,
as well as the ones promising sudden relief.
By arranging the 36 mosaic tiles representing your core emotions and reflecting on them, you will see a kaleidoscope of feelings reflected back. Toying with these tiles, you can find clues that join one to another, revealing concurrent emotional patterns that appear baked in to your human design.
Learn to accept and work with shadow moods that haunt your aspirations.
See how Personas arise to help mediate between conflicting emotions.
Forge new alliances of moods in the service of your chosen values and overarching character.
Gather a visual representation of your progress as you chart a path toward actualized Selfhood.
36 unique animal moods made up of varied combinations of Tels (revealed on their backsides).
These three animal moods can be linked by the TEL of the green plant image, indicating a common underlying drive that unites them.
Your task is to adopt unique families of resonating FERUS,
and fashion whispers of congruent TELs within.
The Spectrum of TELs
In FERUS TEL you can see the inner workings of each animal heart come whispering through in a full spectrum of instinctive TELs.
TELs of Fear, Rage, and Shame
TELs indicate your deep primitive drives;
Your downcast chin when someone more powerful steps into the room.
The shortness of your breath, just before you blow a fuse.
The squaring of your shoulders as you choose to face a foe.
Getting these TELs within you to work together for your benefit would be a great job for your FERUS. But it seems no one gave them the memo that such a thing was even possible. So the FERUS continue mumbling their secret languages, creating havoc as they are so inclined and …. really just making an incomprehensible mess of things.
That is, until You choose to decipher the chaos afoot.
