Learning To See Roles
A student trying to guess the role, etc., without anchoring perceptions in what's right in front of him--eyes, facial expressions, energy, etc.--can go wildly off-base, using circumstantial evidence. The roles look and feel different from one another. If you jump to the conclusion that someone is a sage, for example, based just on behaviors, then you might assume that a theatrical scholar with sage imprinting is a sage, because you have nothing else to go on. If you're expecting all artisans to be arty and unpractical, you'll miss the earthy ones working in construction and other trades. If you immediately assume warrior or king when someone is authoritative or bossy, you could miss the other roles with a goal of dominance, or power or aggression mode. Behavior results from many factors, including overleaves, body type, astrology, imprinting, and past lives, but your essence is what you *are*, not what you do. Behavior often but doesn't always reflect your essence, so you have to look deeper to see essence.
