I borrowed a trait from my obviously difficult side to focus the energy. The focus is from the merciful side. You cannot demonstrate mercy for a friend in need if you are not focused on their needs.<br /><br />Pallas, exactly right. When one is the third thing in the triangle the other points being mercy and severity....Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144040453666802786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889529596531127755.post-64769396261558618522010-11-04T18:03:55.737-07:002010-11-04T18:03:55.737-07:00@Pallus Renatus: Thank you for the clarification. ...@Pallus Renatus: Thank you for the clarification. Makes more sense now :) What a coincidinkie! I am a Leo too.

But when dealing with the world at large, a significant part of discipline is knowing when to withhold strength and severity in situations where it is not needed, rather than domineering the situation like a tyrant. This is one of the more elusive displays of Mercy, rather than something more obvious (ie charity).<br /><br />@Robert: I've experienced the "bouncing between extremes" as a Leo myself. I agree with the sentiment on focus; Nobody gets shit done like a focused Leo!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009778570667265968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889529596531127755.post-84885757128057530862010-11-03T22:15:12.109-07:002010-11-03T22:15:12.109-07:00Frater Robert, doesn't discipline lie in stren...Frater Robert, doesn't discipline lie in strength and severity? I do not see it as being between mercy and severity. This feels counterintuitive to my studies in the Qabalah, but then again, I admit I do not have the knowledge like you do ((bow)). <br /><br />I CAN, however, understand how focus can allow us to live between the extremes. Focus allows us to incorporate the building blocks of mercy and the framework of severity.PhoenixAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628182447302904322noreply@blogger.com
