A) Question for all participants and those who follow this list.
B) Step SEVEN introduction.
QUESTION:
You can answer here by posting or PM me. I have the feeling that some of you are moving ahead of these weekly postings of successive steps. I have been going at a pace of about one step every week. If that is too slow, please let me know and we can pick up the pace.
There is something that comes from sharing in a group venture that brings a lot of meanings and insights forward. When some read ahead and don't share, then we all, as well as you, lose a lot of what we can learn from this book. So please respond with what and how you are working with this book and how this list can better serve you. Thanks.
Step SEVEN:
As always, I'm reading this book as I type this. This is the step where we each have to synthesize what we have learned in spets FIVE and SIX. This means that we review what we have previously posted and then we bring the statements made then about the number or rank, the suit, element, and mode and intergrate them. The integration process should form concepts that are more than just the previously identified keywords. In other words, we are to put some thought and flesh onto these words, coming up with concepts or word-pictures that blend, deepen and/or extend the keywords themselves.
Mary Greer notes that the "whole should be more than the sum of its parts." In this spirit, we are to address the specific sub-steps she outlines for us.
7-1: Synthesize keywords into an integrative statement for each of these cards:
** Page of Pentacles.
** Eight of Swords.
** Wheel of Fortune.
** Ace of Cups.
Now do the same for your chosen card. Try as many different combinations as possible. Which of these statements feels most true? Howdoes it relate to your life right now?
Create a further synthesis that includes material from descriptions, emotions, and fairy tale -- everything that has been explored up to this point.
This is an important step I feel. We need to "put our whole selves in" as the song (Hokey, Pokey) says, not just a left foot or a right arm. We learn when we meet the challenge. Good luck. Dave
