Where Each Temperament Pulls Me
Clarity binds one to pleasure, restlessness to endless doing, and heaviness veils knowing and binds one to confusion.
What I am caught in right now — which temperament dragged me there?
📝Reflection
The old teacher maps where each temperament drags me. The insight that even clarity binds one to 'pleasure' is sharp — a good state too, made into a goal, becomes a tether. I take my actions for rational choices, but often the temperament of the moment had already set the direction. The use of this knowing is not judgment but awareness. Ask 'why am I doing this now,' and usually the hand of one of the three appears behind it. The instant I see the hand, I am for the first time a little freer of it.
🌱Apply It Today
When a strong urge to do or avoid something arises today, look once for which temperament's hand is behind it.
