Looking at Ourselves
Exercise XX: Looking at Your Own Internal Voice
(There is an error in the exercise labeling; exercises 30 - 32 are not included in the xi Exercise index).
This exercise is exactly what it sounds like. My new age stepmom offers a workshop where she teaches her clients to name the voices; I actually liked the suggestion and have done this a bit. Vitimus’s suggestion of banishing them confuses me. Shouldn’t we seek to integrate them? I’m not sure how I feel about this one.
NOTE: Vitimus’s “Pattern-Finding Exercise” is similar to Jason Miller’s “Moving the Set Point” technique. Jason Miller’s blog post “Hexing Your Bad Habits”? is also relevant to this chapter of Hands-On Chaos Magic, as is Vitimus’s “Conjuring & Transmuting Inner Money Demons”.
