Salamander Head, Part 2

https://steemit.com/art/@in2itiveart/salamander-head

In my previous post, I shared the original black and white drawing with you, Steemians, who help me decipher my life's work...you help me with objectively viewing myself - here in the middle of the night...

...but as I was writing the post, I noticed the devilish character coming out the side of my neck and I realized that the drawing had a whole other story to tell me, so I spent a little time coloring it in, and now I see the situation all the more clearly.

I am starting another spiritual quest to retrieve another lost part of myself and I am up against my ego, as usual, which does not want to die again unto self so that I can be reborn anew... but it will. This time, I had asked God to remove this particular character flaw in which I unknowingly make faces and mutter under my breath when I am extremely agitated.

God had told me that He would trade that removal of that defect for my favorite negative passtimes: Pessimism, Cussing, Negative-Talk, Gossip and Sarcasm...

I was in the workshop today where we were discussing the directions for how to go on this vision-quest ... and I was drawing. I was pissed off because I think I know so much more than the person leading the workshop about these principles, and yet - I had to constantly bite my tongue because obviously, I was there for a new experience with the material. In order to help me, I was drawing.

Here is the psychic snapshot of my current state-of-affairs. I am inhabited by a demonic spirit, on my right side - which is attached, likely to my Mars, which is in Leo, and is run-amuck, but which is manifestation. It is likely repelling success. As a protective mechanism during childhood, I adopted pessimism, cussing, negative-talk, gossip and sarcasm, and the back end of those negative spirits is this unwieldy mean-spirit(edness) which acts on it's own and gets me into a lot of trouble... and also repels people.

My hands are positioned in an infinity symbol, which is the agreement I made with this mean-spirit(edness) which I will need God to undo. The Salamander - an elemental fire being which is invisible represents the activation of passion and anger which brings on this mean-spirit(edness).

Although the remainder of me in the drawing is green and blue, colors of Nature and the Generative Principle, this unresolved agreement is keeping me stuck in an entropic downward spiral. I caught myself tonite for the first time muttering when I was annoyed at someone, and I immediately put on the "Home Depot smile" which I "put on" when I was working at Home Depot to mask this unruly part of myself. I guess it's pretty believeable and I do find that people respond to it and I am aware of myself when I force myself to smile.

I look forward to seeing where this goes. I have been trying to catch this Salamander for about 20 years. It appears that my left-hand is right near the tail of the Salamander in the drawing, so that when I break the infinite agreement I will be able to catch the Salamander by it's tail, once and for all!

The drawing has very interesting graphic qualities. The ego is extremely clever; makes me think of children's games where you stomp on it on one part of the keyboard and it pops up in another spot.  Guess we are all trying to unthrone it.

I have been curious to see more of the self-work you do.

It is no surprise to me the levels of intuition you have reached of this is the foundation for it. Very important knowledge of self here.
