Readiness check
Answer these without looking anything up.
- Why does he say confidence and insecurity are one potential, and why does pursuing confidence feed pendulums?
- What are the labyrinth's walls, and what happens when you stop looking for the exit?
- What do you do instead of proving your worth or defending yourself against guilt?
- What is a clay golem, and how does an inadequate reaction break its game?
- How does the will to have differ from decisiveness and from the will to act?
- How do you disperse anxiety, fear and desire?
- What is the principle of coordination, and what are lifeline branches?
- Why does he want knowing in place of belief, and what does the heart answer?
The next chapter assumes you hold one idea: lowering importance, not forcing confidence, frees the energy of intention, and treating events as positive steers you onto favorable branches of your lifeline.
