do you really lay down all the cards?

I read a scorpio post from ellesque, about scorpios laying down all the cards and watch the other person's behaviors,
and then take the cards back one by one if they find that person not trustworthy.

This sounds like a scorpion point of view of those who haven't metaphysically evolved to the eagle form yet,
and there are things you must know when you're dealing with a person who's truly trustworthy.

as a Taurus, when you lay down all the cards and watch us,
you have to realize - who said we wanted all the cards?
maybe some of them, maybe nothing at all.

for us, there is no card, who said it was a game? 😉
but when it is, it'll be one card at a time,
maybe cards you didn't even know existed.

the cards we lay down, we don't take back,
we simply turn them upside down.

Trust doesn't have to be either all or nothing,
it can just be a little bit at a time,
piece by piece, until it's enough at the right time, to open to a new level.

when we're there with you,
we just want to chill, relax, and be open.

life is not a war.

you have a strong will,
but you don't have a strong willingness.
the willingness to fail sometimes, to be vulnerable sometimes.

how will you evolve if you won't?
if you can't, then who's really in control, you or others? 😉

and you don't want others to have a fear of being hurt,
because you want them to be open for you to hurt them.
yet you have a fear of being hurt yourself, that's why you want others to be exposed,
yet you close off, so you can have control over the other person.
yet you can't control us, for

it's quite a double standard,
because you think you have a lot to offer,
that might be true, but have you ever thought of what the other person can offer? 😉

Taurus aren't really afraid of being hurt, because we know we can just store it all up,
and deliver it back 10 fold.
It's not an eye for an eye, it's more like, an eye forgiven, but never forgotten,
only to be unleashed back ten times.

you forget things (because you are War), but never forgive,
we forgive (because we are Love), but we never forget.

War is never forgiving, Love is never forgotten.

A Taurus will remember the clothes you wore when we first met,
We'll remember the perfume you wore when we were together, even 10 years later.

Scorpios are proud of having a big ego,
but your ego is reflected in ours, for we share one half of a complete twin soul.

have you ever heard of ego-death?
also spirit death, and emotional death.

then to be reborn from the ashes and achieve trinity perfection from those three, as I call it.
there's a sign that can offer you that which you need.

but how will you have it if you can't just let go and trust?
life is not a war, that's why I hate sports,
they are just pretend war games.
the real war should be within, the real game should be without 🙂
meaning there is none.

So stop trying to control everything,
and just let go.

Let go.

For only when you have lost everything,
are you truly free to do anything.

Let go.

Very interesting read minotaur, +1 for the poetic form.Very nice poem 🙂

You just piqued my curiosity mentioning the word 'perfection'.I'd like to remain in that state where,while im able to comfort others grievances i wanna remain completely unmoved/neutral when the 'clouds of melancholy' looms large over my head.As in practice what you truly preach.

All the battles are fought in our mind .I recall in my teenage days ,it was me pitted against the world.It didnt take long for me to realize that by laying down all my 'cards'(tho its never apparent ,like a mask) i was inching closer to surefire disappointments ,too much of expectations led to resentments when they coudnt meet my standards 😢..

But self awareness crept in overtime,now i always look back at my past to see where i come from and where the path leads under the present circumstance that i am in .It has helped me as and when my ego had trouble letting go of people/things .But its easier said than done most of the time.

Visiting orphanages ,asylums.. during negative periods helps in confronting inner crap and put the negativity behind me .When i see helpless people ,not even aware they need to wear/change clothes i ask myself with a mind equipped to perform activity they are not even capable of in their wildest imaginations,how can i let myself downgrade like this?How did i let this happen and more importantly why did i in the first place?The past is past and its over.I am powerless to change what has transpired so far,but am not powerless to change my thoughts and ask myself am i so weak like them?What is the 'fruit' waking up next day , ruminate upon the bad trips and create new dilemmas for myself , when there's nothing i can do to change the past.Do i need to carry this on?Will this matter after a month or a year from now?Do i need to see this same lethargic guy in action a year from now?

Only next best thing to do is willfully/skillfully broaden the bandwidth,expand the threshold of pain ,suffering ,resentments.But that is possible only through experience and experience can only be experienced ,cant be shared by describing in words.The transformation shit generates within ,you realize change has occurred in the innermost level only after a painful chain of events which necessitated a change and i believe this has to do with transits and stuff.

Life is unpredictable,emotions are never neutral .I know you guys are equally stubborn (holding onto memories) but like us you

you never come off as boisterous unlike a leo(another fixed sign) while dealing inner turmoils unless pushed to the extremes, as you said :
Taurus aren't really afraid of being hurt, because we know we can just store it all up,
and deliver it back 10 fold....

Can you elaborate further regarding ego,spirit,emotional death and give some more taurean insight?
