Self-realization. Its an easy thing for me. Self-realization...not in the sense that you exist, you do (contrary to philosophers who question existance) but in the sense of realizng who you are and why you do the things you do or dont do. What I find harder is once I know how and why I think, act or feel the way I do, its a qeustion of where do I go from here. For example, I know I have a hard time letting things go, I realise I do this, and I watch myself do it. How do I change? I could not think about that certain issue, but thats repression of thought and feeling. Perhaps there are certain things in us that are constant, maybe somethings cant be changed, they are too deeply engrained into the psyche. I have a tendency to just drop things out of my life and leave it behind, but i never actually let them go.
On a somewhat similar, but tanget note. My archetype is Wanderer: "The figure of the Wanderer condemned to roam the earth until released from a curse." "He shuns the commitment and responsibility of the journey; therefore, he does not realize his full potential and cannot become who he/she is to become until he does so. He is the evil but often gorgeous or charming villain in literature." "The danger of the wanderer archetype is the loss of community, of being self-absorbed and thus missing the joys of love and giving and relationship. But what we can learn from it is to trust ourselves, to trust our inner knowingness, our sense of what is right for us. One quintessential form of the wanderer archetype is the spiritual search. There isn’t any way to have somebody else go inward for us, not even a master. For even when it’s done with a group of like-minded people, the journey inward is still always a solitary one, always unknown, always to some extent uncharted. Like all journeys of the wanderer."
...So I changed my mind, and im going to get "Wanderer" tattooed in Quenya Tengwar in stead of my name. The wanderer, in a nut shell, describes the whole of what I feel and who I am.
