I think I know what's happening now Ra.
My creative impulse is evolving. I locked myself in the locker room with my old friend - jim is a lawyer(representing scholastic ambition) and rueben a tatoo artist(representing visual arts)....I am my own ego of course, that has locked these parts in a room, washing them, analyzing them over and over again.
But from a deeper, more collective place, comes Matt Damon, an accomplished actor. I Believe that I've been resisting the urge to learn monologues, a quite innocent impulse, or to engage more in play writing and acting instead of visual arts. That part dies, and from it springs a new channel.
The problem with visual arts is that I can't sit long enough to perform them and am never satisfied with the work. But with learning monologues, even if I'm not going to be an actor, I can deepen my emotional spectrum, enhance my people skills by improving my language skills. I've been risisting this, but I'm too extroverted for drawing...after five minutes I want to get up and talk.
So I think I know what's going on. I have to convert the old parts, my old friends, to the new parts, the unexplored parts, or the future me, by using what I projected on to friends from highschool, which are in me in crude form, and refining them...to become a deeper person.
Besides, memorizing monologues is fun and allows me to channel which is what I do (8th house sun) but have no outlet.
Perhaps the monologues will serve me well in the next phase of my life, where charm will be required to investigate fraud and what now.
Who knows, maybe it will land me a girlfriend because she may be impressed with my learning.
Matt Damon I guess reminds me of these sentiments. The Idea that perhaps I am a channeler, actor, not in the Hollywood sense, but in the dramatic Shakespearean sense.
Perhaps I have been denying this Damon for too long and it is my inevitable future for I am drawn to the words in a script, play, book like Faust was drawn to memphistopheles.
Thank you RA.
In this instance, I think my mother knows this of me too, and has been trying to get me to explore my creative side and get me out of my shell.
