From my perspective as a passenger I already assume that I am in a movie. I already assume that I have been given a character and the character has a role. What’s interesting is that it’s not a one-dimensional role. It’s so interesting for all of us to get, that it’s not a one-dimensional role. It’s much more than that. It is a multi-dimensional role. We are highly specialized in the way in which we operate in different situations with different beings under different circumstances.

Think about how unpleasant it is, I don’t know if that’s a common experience, maybe that’s just my individuality, but those kinds of situations where a friend of yours and a family member, those forces are brought together with you at the same time. There is a real confusion of the way in which you speak, the way in which you look. If you could see the face, you would see that the face is under enormous pressure to the point that it can end up twitching because it’s very different. We go through these incredible role shifts and all of us are deeply familiar with it because all of us are semi-professional face readers. We do it all the time. We look at somebody’s face and we read it or we try to read it. Many people are very good at reading it; many people are very good at displaying it.

To really understand that it’s not about that there’s only one; this is the thing. Yes, you’re going to have those situations where somebody, for example, is a Sphinx, they’re going to have a Sun/Earth 7/13, you’re going to have people who are very, very focused in a certain aspect of their role. But for most of us that’s not the case. For most of us we have a balance, a mix inside of us of these six different roles that make up our being, and how important it is for us to exalt in their difference. It’s difficult to get there, because it demands that you are correct in your nature. Be-cause there is no other way really to control that because it’s so easy, there are so many tendencies within us—open centers, not-self strategies that will say, “Why don’t you stay with being the Authoritarian, it works.” Try that in bed. It doesn’t work.
