Very good response, now I am not asking you to do what you say. I think
you have thought about this rather than dive in to protect. That is a
learning experience.

Good on you.

Yes I will not answer that but the answer lies, in the first answer. If
you know how motivation controls you then you see where it comes from and
always be aware of it. Your awareness of this control was the point of my
other massages. I think from this string we are beginning to come a full
circle.
Liveliness, fruitfulness are motivators with the strong sexual motivator
plus the creative motivator of expression, it has abundance and
nourishment too while openness is the unbounded which is also that of
expression or even grandiosity. The others are motivational behaviors,
wholeness is a mixture of affiliative, abundance and harmony. There is not
one that is not a motivator in some form or other.
Kindest
Gavin
