Inner Priest Sub-Personality
The Priest archetype is most highly connected to the notions of seeking spiritual guidance, compassion, enlightenment, blessing, forgiveness (i.e. absolution) and the experience of Oneness. And, in the negative pole: self-righteousness, damnation, worldly rejection, and piety.
In its worldly presentation as an occupation it is associated with the ministration to emotional conflicts and comforts, the implementation or advancement of a belief system, and being the mediator of altered states of consciousness usually associated with other planes of existence. (i.e. the Shaman). And in escapism, the Addict.
This layout aims to uplift your consideration out of the mundane of matter and interactions, into perspectives casting a different light upon a problem (i.e. like an infrared or ultra violet spectrum reveals unseen aspects present but not readily visible.)
In darker or painful periods, this spread can assist you in coming to terms with an intractable feeling of stuckness in shame, guilt, or incompletion. Yet, it may also offer you the path to be circumspect and thus understand the deeper implications of Choices you are contemplating.
Selecting Cards in this configuration may reveal the elements keeping you from "letting go" or achieving resolution; or in some cases making restitution. While not specifically about forgiveness or absolution, you might discern underpinnings from which you are meant to discover and heal. Here Compassion is an active verb of deeper conscious empathy, not holier-than-thou persecution of another nor pretentious self-abasement into a rigid asceticism. What does “Spirit” and Consciousness mean to me?
- Card 1. Outward Manifestation or Ego Personification of your version of the Role - How does this Role show itself through me to the general public or in the eyes of people observing me? It is my Homo Sapien animal (EGO) display of this precept in the venues of my life that calls upon it to be shared or employed. Perhaps and occupation?
- Card 2. Inward Personality Experience - What is your opinion or feeling about this Role? Do you like what it does? Do you resent or ignore it? Does it impress upon you an important element or a superfluous condition. In general, are there any biases or prejudices about this Role's nature that influence the way you deal with them?
- Card 3. Essence History with this Role in the Unconscious - Over many life times, you have inevitably been placed in circumstances where the attributes of this Role were called upon and developed in order to experience that incarnation. A Sub-Personality is developed and carries over from life-to-life with its own memories and methods. That Sub may have a strong Karmic or Self Karmic influence or lay dormant.
- Card 4. What Inhibitions, Impediments or Sabotages does this Role Sub Personality present to me? - This card, even when in the positive poles, might indicate where you or the other might 'get in their own way', or too much of a good thing becomes a drag on progress. This card suggests that positive and desired may be rooted in light or dark motives. Notice your reaction to the same.
