| Two - Seven Attempts at Liquifying the Self | |
|
|
Hesitation over melting or merging with the world; also a fear of puniness or insignificance. |
|
|
A strong and confident feeling of merging with the rest of the world, mixing it up with the world, so to speak. |
|
|
A stormier chapter...it's a battle to merge with the world; it feels like we are opposed and in turmoil. |
|
|
Feeling stronger here, more intact, calmer, even though the world is in some disequilibrium. |
|
|
Feeling stable after stormier chapters. The world seems more tame. Storms have left their mark, but it feels okay, a necessary part of this scene. |
|
|
A feeling of warmth and encouragement from the world...darker thoughts and feelings give rise to a potential for melting, moving or sharing inner experiences. |
|
|
A very hopeful, sure sense of blending into the world. Here I feel very sure that I belong in this world, that I am meant to be a part of it. |
