En skog och en björn

Hur får man svar på vem man själv är? Är introspektion ala 40-tal verkligen vägen? Jag pratade nyss med en medelålders fransyska på ett forum som förkunnade en metod för självinsikt och förståelse. Detta varefter hon gav mig följande påståenden att besvara, vilket du fördelaktligen kan göra utan att läsa mina representerade svar:

1) You are in a wood...describe your wood.

Mitt svar: The wood is dense and lush with green Douglas Fur and visual cues and traces of a storm that the wood is recovering from. The wood has an uneven terrain with regurlarly occuring hills. The surroundings are free of paths and seem to be unexplored and uninhabited by civilian life.

2) You meet a bear...what do you do?

Mitt svar: I watch the bear and evaluates whether it has any aggressive intentions regarding my presence. If it hasn't noticed me yet I hide, if it has and is approaching me I foolishly stand where I am and initiate some offensive stance while trying to hide my fear.

3) You later stuble across a cracked/chipped cup and realise it belonged to our mother...
what do you do?

Mitt svar: I pick it up and ponder about it's history and the memories associated with it, reminiscing forgotten and fond moments whereby I put it in my backpack and look forward.

4) You meet up with a stream...how do you cross it?

and turn back if nothing feasible comes to mind. If the other direction proves to be Mitt svar: Looking in either direction for some concievable way to cross the stream, if no apparent bridge or likewise seems to be present I head in one direction and see where it leadsfutile, I look for material pieces in my immediate environment to get me across.

5) You are about to leave the wood but there is a wall...describe it!

Mitt svar: There seems to be a gigantic mountain, more like a chain of mountains connected to each other in the far horizon. Picture several Mount Fuji interconnected in the horizon. I have a tough mountain trail to conquer.

6) What do you see on the other side?

Mitt svar: It's empty, a green field of grass stretching out ominously wherever I look.

------------------------------------


Jag har en oberoende tolkning av dessa svar, så om du vill kan du besvara dessa uppmaningar själv för att sedan avstämma med de tolkningar jag har ger dig nedan. Håll till godo:

1) The wood represents life and your view of life. i.e. if it's a nice place to be in or if it's hard to get through
2) The bear represents problems and how you deal with them.
3) The cup is sentimentality.
4) The stream is your attitude towards relationships...if it's an "attractive, easy-to-cross" stream, relationships maybe easy or if it's deep and you have to wade in and comeback you might have fleeting relationships etc.
5) The wall is death...if it's a high wall that's hard to cross you maybe afraid of death.
6) The other side...is how you see life after death.

Man måste ju älska pseudovetenskap, tyvärr så är det ju många människor som förlitar sig på denna form av kunskapskälla (religion, folkpsykologi, astrologi etc) men ibland undrar man givetvis om det inte finns en gnutta sanning i det hela, självuppfyllande profetia eller ej.
