Up: [[Sharing]] Created: 2024-03-06 Updated: 2024-09-07 Liz Greene is a Jungian analyst who is also a professional astrologer. I've purchased a number of meaningful, impactful astrological reports from her. One on Career and Vocation told me very accurately of the work I am meant to do. No matter how much time I spend with others, my deepest sense of self is turned inward. I feel that my work must be a vessel for that inner reality and that I need to anchor it in life in some way. I have to have a way that my sense of continuity with tradition, the past and my inner world can be creatively expressed. I do fear the chaos that comes with being immersed in feelings and passions and I have a tendency to turn away from some inner experiences by using reason and rationality. Liz Greene recommends that I work with this by being as objective as possible in evaluating both inner and outer experience, and that I find ways to map or conceptualize my inner world so that it can be communicated to others and they are encouraged to pursue the same inner journey. It's not as if sharing is actually an option for me. It's something that I have to do. But whatever I share has to be something I believe in wholeheartedly and it has to be practical -- everyday actions, everyday work. > [!orbit] Liz Greene > My work has to include both sides of me, providing a sound practical vehicle through which I can make an impact on the world around me, but also serving the inner ideals to which I am so deeply devoted. I have a devotional nature and won't be happy if I can't use work as a vehicle for my devotion. According to Liz Greene, I have a strong vision of unity and a compassion for all living things, both of which need to be embedded at the core of my work. This is news to me. ## My Limitations - Biggest one comes from my greatest strength - my deep commitment to serving a higher or deeper reality can make me very intense, judgemental toward those who actually spend time enjoying everyday pleasures and living in the moment. - Striving to be too responsible. Can’t save everyone nor transform the entire world in a lifetime. - Don’t suppress playful, imaginative side in favour of an ideal of self-sacrifice. Need constant contact with creative expression for the joy of it. - I need to work to develop discrimination. There is only one of me and it would be wiser to give my energy where it is most productive and needed, rather than where it can be exploited or simply wasted. - I need strong boundaries and a good healthy dose of self-protectiveness. ## Working with Others - I'm at my best when I'm able to share my ideals and join in work efforts that let me feel I am part of something larger, and contributing alongside others to the evolution of the collective. - Refrain from attempting to convert others to my way of thinking
