What you said resonates with me. One goes through peaks and valleys, that can betray our (authentic) better nature. I like to remind myself of where my soul feels "at home." My belief is that I die and am reborn and my soul maintains the same quality of what makes me individual, and gives form to my consciousness. There is life in the spirit, that some people label as "ego." I don't know that I believe in the existence of ego, but it is useful as an imaginary concept only because humility is a virtue. I just think
we are, because I hear beautiful noise. I think if you let yourself feel, without being afraid of The Almighty Ego, your sunlight will come through. As mentioned, I don't see anything wrong with the archetypes themselves, although our
perceptions, and our
expression might be off...and that this leads to false labels and judgement. Sun people are warm and wonderful. One couldn't be anything better
.
I don't like to read or "speak" with the cards anymore because it takes away from my own inner-voice, (and all that that encompasses). But when I did, I wouldn't remove the significator from the deck. It would still be important in revealing the sentience with which I was communicating with. You could ask, 'do
you know me?' 'who am I?' 'what are
you going to help me with?' and so on. Or even ask the cards directly for your soul card or your personality as it is.
Just another reason soul recognition can be important would be in cases such as possessions. North, South, East and West are just words too.
I really like this name btw. So beautiful.
