Re: [BardonPraxis] Re: Know Thyself

["ericmeridiano" <ericmeridiano@...>]

Hello,
differents "methods" of self-knowlegde can indeed help you toward a deeper 
understanding of yourself.

Namely astrology, the enneagram , the Myers-Briggs personality test ,etc...can 
all be nice pointers,and source of meditations,but with the huge disavantages 
of telling you who you are (the danger beeing believing it blindly, adopting a 
baised point of vue, or create confusion mixing all systems)

Bardon tells us to use the mirror work as pointer, and gives little information 
indeed. 
Guenuine self-knowledge can only come from our own observation and 
introspection.

How about imagining a fictionnal character with all your traits and write a 
little story about him? could it help taking a step baCK from the forest?
Or using painting, music, and describe yourself throught those medium, the 
result could give you a larger perspective .
Personaly, music seems the more efficient, ever changing.

I found Rawns "center of stillness" meditations quite helpul to gaIN a sense of 
perspective.

Good luck.
