Have you ever had your portrait done?
If so, what did you think of the artist’s representation of you?
Have you ever been questioned or interrogated?
If so, did you find it an easy of a difficult experience…and why so?
If you haven’t had your portrait done or been interrogated, how do you think an artist or an interrogator would characterize, describe or treat you?
Is feedback on how others see or have seen you contrary to how you see yourself? If so, why do you think that is the case?
When questioned, are you able to answer truthfully or do you disguise the truth?
Contrarily, are you the one, who you feel is, usually, the seer, sizing up and/or questioning who or what is in front of you by writing it down or by just viewing/listening and accessing whether it merits acceptance or rejection?
Hopefully, and most probably, you are seeing and being seen. The objective is to be intent with both. In fact, it’s important to be intent even with occasionally “tuning out” both operations.
Ultimately, we have to gain clarity both with how we see and are seen and to what degree we can be honest. If not, we bring a disruptive tension into our lives that can only be temporarily avoided.
So, as we celebrate the Spring Equinox, let Clear Intention be your focus for the balance of this year and beyond.
