firemaiden
Agreed Aoife ! How nice to see you ! I would add that it works for very small units of time, and for a state of emergency experience - like the few seconds before and during a competition high dive. And in the case of opera performance any self-doubts, fears, problems which have been very carefully put aside before and during need to be thouroughly addressed afterward or there will be hell to pay. I have often said also that adrenalin forces anything -- feelings or ideas or fears -- which have been supressed to come violently churning up. All of those need to be profoundly dealt with. Sometimes it is a matter of learning how to talk back to the inner liar -- the one who makes up tons of negative stuff that if we really analysed it in the light of day we'd find absurd.Aoife said:Firemaiden, I agree that we choose to create who we are, but I'm not sure its a linear process most of the time. I think the 'decide' > 'commit' > 'act' process seems to work best with the biggest and smallest matters [...]
Now I'm sort of off the subject of tarot, but anyhow, if we let random chance choose the cards for us ... instead of choosing them for ourselves face up, what does that mean ?
