Life Stories




One of the most important things to know about ourselves, is why we do things, the way we do them.
In childhood, we get the blue-prints for behaviour, values, ethics and motivation. We imitate our dear ones. We listen to their stories, we absorb them, build them in our personality - make them our very own story.
Maybe the story of our lifes.

Our subconscious is a mysteriuos thing. It is similar to the mind of a child. It does not understand everything, our consciuos mind makes.
It is impressed by music, pictures, sensations, not by abstract thoughts.

If we want to get an idea of it, lets take a look at stories for children: Little Red Riding Hood, Cindarella, Snowwhite, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, and lots of other tales.
There are intrigues, enemies, murder, violence and death, an everlasting, maybe dangerous love.
Now you may say, that death and violence belong to life, as a part of it. Of course, you are right. But why does it belong to our lifes, in this particular way?
Another bunch of good, or irritating, stories arise from mythology. This is our common cultural background.

Ancient cultures tried to interpret the phenomena in the sky, linking incidents on earth, to the universe, and the powers of gods, using stories to describe the effect on human life.

Astrology is a child of these interpretations, searching for sense and fate. It is easier to bear the effects on your life, if you know, that there is a cause - which may be supernatural, but there is one. It gives the you feeling of being in control.

So, back to the blue-prints and the subconscious using them. To understand fate, and what we make out of it, we have to take a good look to the substructures of lifestories, and the parts we act in them.
