a Man has many skins

I found this beautiful poem by Meister Eckhart:
A man has many skins in himself,
covering the depths of his heart.
Man knows so many things
he does not know himself.
Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

What I have found in my own life is that "knowing My Self" has been the hardest.  It is so much easier for me to see other's "stuff", but to my own: I am blind
Supporting my Self and Others to uncover more of the "skins" or peeling it, has been so much part of my journey.  Finding tools to bring the unconscious to our awareness.Using chirology for the last 12 years and recently also discovering SoulCollage(R) excites me.
It is when it is "unconscious" that it bites us in the back.  Once our patterns, secret thoughts, belief systems has come into awareness (or the Light) it is not in darkness anymore - and that is just it!  Nothing to do, just bring it to the Light.

I drew this card recently, and my first feeling was Fear?  I then realised that it spoke to me of simplicity and the way I have created my life has been through "complexity" it's as if  I find Simplicity boring.
It was also interesting that someone lend me a book on North Nodes (synchronicity) and I found that my North   Node is in Scorpion which talk about creating your life experiences through intensity.  Just another skin!  It made so much sense and brought a sense of "acceptance.
