As I said in an earlier posting to Bev, I've been re-reading James Hollis's
Swamplands of the Soul, and have developed the following five-card spread
for LATS in September. I would appreciate it if you would try it out and
let me know how it works, or doesn't.
The Swampland Spread (Based on ideas from James Hollis's Swamplands of the
Soul).
Lay out the five cards of this spread in a straight line.
Position 1 - How am I avoiding being present in my life?
Position 2 - Where would I rather not go, but need to go?
Position 3 - What task am I avoiding?
Position 4 - What change of behavior or attitude does this issue oblige
me to adopt?
Position 5 - Based on the preceding four cards, how do I need to re-
imagine or redefine myself?
