Читать книгу The Way of Nowhere: Eight Questions to Release Our Creative Potential - Nick Udall - Страница 26

We can glean further insight into the breakthrough question by looking at the neighbouring directions – in this case the North-East and the South-East.

It is understandable, given the pace of modern life, that we want to dash on to the next thing without pausing to complete the last. Yet we are unlikely to gain an inspirational insight into our unique purpose without having completed the last phase of our lives. If there is something that is outstanding, its energy casts a shadow over our consciousness and we struggle to catalyse the energy required to access our intuitive selves. This is the energy intelligence of the North-East, which provides the integrity and vitality needed to free us for the next leap.

Meanwhile, the South-East invites us to stop our internal dialogue and achieve stillness and presence in the moment. We are unlikely to hear the quiet voice that whispers what the stars want of us whilst we are deafened by the thunderous roar of our own conversation with ourselves. It is the awareness of the present moment that allows the quiet voice of intuition to speak to us in poetry, symbolism and much more.
