The Co-Creative Task of this Direction:
Perception
A key aspect of success in any
relationship is awareness. Be aware of the roles you play, the history that you bring to
anything new. Take an honest look - "Know Thyself" to the greatest extent
possible. Know who you are, and what you expect from others, be they employees,
co-workers, family, or your "significant other."
Pay your dues up front - no lies, no skeletons in the closet. In other
words, debrief before you start. Be honest about your strengths, your weaknesses, how much
you're willing to do. Be willing to give up any old stories - stories that can cause you
to misinterpret the current situation.
See as much as you can about your contribution. What is your vision? What
are your goals? What is your method of operation? Then consider these aspects of the other
person/persons. Are you compatible? In which areas do you need to seek alignment? In which
ones will differences cause problems? In which will they strengthen the relationship?
(There will be tests!)
If you have drawn a card in this direction, you are
being called on to use your mental faculties to fully assess the relationship. There is no
call for action here; there is no place for emotions; the situation does not require
spiritual insight. The task is to be present to the truth of what is, and then strive to
align your vision.
