Way too close to home.

Brezsny says:

“In his book, Legacy of the Heart: The Spiritual Advantages of a Painful Childhood, Wayne Muller traces many of our psychological ills to the bad habit known as “repetition compulsion.” After growing up, we unconsciously recreate the situations that damaged or addled us as children. In this way we hope to find the healing we couldn’t find when we were young. We choose friends and lovers and employers who inadvertently play the roles of our original family members as we continually restage our old imprints in search of some feeling of resolution that will set us free. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that the next six weeks will bring the best opportunity ever to escape from repetition compulsion.”

I’m cautiously optimistic about this. Letting go of stuff would be nice. Let’s see if I manage.

    Umm. . . .

    While I understand and accept the premise (I will update you with illuminating and amusing stories in person some time) I must say that I’m looking forward to the next six weeks. I see a few remnants from the past that I wouldn’t mind transforming – particularly as I’m looking for another job!
