My essential purpose in life is to deepen and make more genuine whatever it is that I regard as important. To enable me to accomplish this I have an ability to see into the heart and soul of a person or situation, and to heal or transform what I find there. The response that I get to this insight of mine varies. I can elicit from others extremes of mistrust or devotion, and consequently be either mistrustful or utterly devoted myself. My probing intensity can certainly reach the parts that others cannot reach. This ability of mine to penetrate into another's emotional reality is sexually based. This means to say that my sexuality is more to do with my mind and feelings than my body. This is what sets me apart from others, for I am able to "enter" someone else's space without even touching them. This psychological insight and the powerful influence that it can wield is compromised by one thing only: I suspect that others are doing the same to me with dubious intentions. This in turn gives rise to a downward spiral of discord that appears to prove my suspicions correct. Behind all this is my fear of having the chink in my armor - my vulnerability - spotted and taken advantage of. If I spot it myself first, I am invulnerable. All of this is most likely to centre upon intimate involvements and deeply shared experiences - or else I can feel desperately lonely and cut off. Although this commonly means the ties of jointly owned resources with their advantages and problems, there is also the closeness experienced through love and crisis. This is an intimacy with life itself - which also includes death. And so I can be mediumistic, in touch with the "other side"' or at least have an interest in the occult and the hidden causes behind the outer phenomena. I am the researcher or delver, and can have a profound sense of the soul. And so I am looking for a profound union - which poses the surrender of my separateness. This is a purging of the "little self", my petty values, and consequently mine can be a hard but transformative road through life. This means that I go through many changes, relationships, and ways of expressing myself until I begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel - the light of my own life. Pervading all of my being is a very natural sense of love and acceptance. Because this makes for a rather passive disposition, I am inclined to turn the other cheek rather than take issue. Any more aggressive instincts that I might have are more likely to be used defensively. All in all though, I have the wisdom to know that letting life take its own course is bound in time to deliver me to my rightful place. However, do not underestimate, and therefore fail to make something of, my innate ability to inspire and be inspired - be it through music, visual art, drama, literature or in the sphere of healing. Deep in the core of my being lies something profound and powerful. I may not have a particularly conscious idea of what it is, but I am not going to let anyone take it, or me, lightly. It gives, or rather burdens, me with the feeling that there is a dark force in life that could be out to get me. If I identify too closely with this notion then I am on my way to being either a megalomaniac or a self-destructive maniac-depressive, or, being in the clutches of one. If on the other hand, I purify my own intensions, and recognize myself as being a steward of or a channel for this power, then whatever I do in life will be deeply effective. But through self-study or intimate relating, I have to reach my own depths first, for that is where the power lies. I may find that my mother has played some part in what could be called this power complex, with her being highly influential in my life in some way, for good or ill. Finally, I am "A SIGHT-SEEING BUS" - A pleasant and convenient manner of orienting myself, together with others. Simultaneously, this puts me neatly in touch with my fellow travelers by sharing with them the culture common to the area. Keyword: ACQUAINTANCESHIP. When positive, my inimitable flair for familiarizing people with the world that they live in, thereby creating an intimacy with both faces and places. When negative, an impersonal and profit-motivated approach towards interaction with others and the environment that is ultimately disenchanting.
