Interesting.
I'm not familiar with that material.
This adds another perspective. Thanks.
In particular, I'll have to explore your
last couple lines in more detail through inner
exploration.

Planetary influences may act as an amplifier, but
I think there's something more core and local
at work with respect to this "internal judge".
I'm been trying to explore this for a while now,
and haven't been making much progress. I haven't
struck upon the right ideas or the right tools.
I think there's stuff missing from LKL just like
there's stuff missing from Fusion. Let me explain:
Fusion, as originally taught by Chia, was very
mechanical. Its flaws were that it didn't
give a voice to the inner parts of self that were
hurting; it just processed the feelings without
finding out the source--in fact, sometimes it
was even hard to connect with the feeling to
begin with. MW altered Fusion 1 to fix this
deficit. It's much better now. There are still
a few things missing, but I've found other things
to fill the void. At any rate, I feel like I have a
pretty good picture now of the emotional landscape--
at least of the non-sexual variety.
Now enter LKL.
LKL, in my view, does the same thing, but for
sexual/psycho-sexual issues. But I'm starting to
feel like LKL has the same shortcomings for
psycho-sexual issues that Fusion once had--namely
it has some great mechanical tools and can help
complete certain things, but it doesn't necessarily
help you identify the underlying pattern/root; it
doesn't necessarily address the emotional feelings
and/or give a voice to certain inner parts of self or help
identify what the conflict is. I.E. I feel there's
some kind of yin component that's missing. I've
been trying to explore this for a while now, which is
part of my reason of interest (plus, who doesn't
like thinking about sex :P ).
One could argue that, well, you get other tools as
you go up, say to Greater and Greatest, and while
that may be true, I think they deal with other
things--important things--but other things nonetheless
. . . just like LKL does other things than Fusion and
doesn't necessarily fill in the gaps that Fusion 1 misses.
Which is ultimately the main reason for this post . . .
To try to get others to post their thoughts and opinions . . .
To get as many fresh perspectives as possible . . .
At any rate, this inner negative "judge" is an interesting
character, and trying to figure out what it's purpose is
or what it is trying to communicate/do is an intriguing
mystery; understanding its nature and what it is, is another
challenge
Best,
Steven
