Hi Cairene,

The last Rune says this:

A quickening of your development is indicated here. Yet even in times of accelerated growth, you will have reason to halt along the way, to reconsider the old, to integrate the new. Take advantage of these halts.
If you are undergoing difficulties, remember: The nature of your passage depends upon the quality of your attitude, the clarity of your intention and the steadfastness of your will. Be certain that you are not suffering over your suffering.

This is the new situation arising, your being is been spoken to, not the YOU! Looking at the first two sentences, they clearly indicate Growth and development, this on it's own must point to movement, beyond what you are experiencing now! But, a very important and perhaps vital ingredient is your attitude, and motives, are they pure?

The first Runes asks a question within it's interpritation:
Reversed, Teiwaz, calls for examining your motives carefully. Is it self-conquest with which you are concerned, or are you trying to dominate another? Are you lusting after outcomes, or are you focused on the task for it’s own sake?
You will find the answers within yourself, not in outside advice. When consult the Runes, you are consulting the Self, an action appropriated to the SPIRITUAL WARRIOR.

When we bring the two together, how can you describe your base-passion or sub-conscious approach?

Let us join two sentences:
The nature of your passage depends upon the quality of your attitude, the clarity of your intention and the steadfastness of your will or are you lusting after outcomes, or focused on the task for it’s own sake?

Now, look at the advice:
The nature of your passage depends upon the quality of your attitude, the clarity of your intention and the steadfastness of your will.

What do we learn from Standstill joined to the others?
You are experiencing this period as a sacrifice, in order for you to have and respect, in proper fashion, what you want, and want to achieve.

However, you should have your goal clearly defined and approach it with purity of heart. Keep your goal foremost in your heart, investigate yourself and find the answers within you.

Blessed be.

Ahhhhh PAYEWACKER! I made it back into the site (after big problems with my account on here) and the help of the Mod.

Anyway, I want to make sure you are thanked because your reading is so precise and relevant to me right now! You don't know the details, but it's right on the money! I really appreciate all the time and insight you put into it.

The Standstill as you pointed out is exactly the present situation. I think, in my understanding and own translation that things will work out with my guy, but I need a period of healing. I need to establish within myself the pure intentions for wanting us to be together again. In fact, I have been working with a therapist to tackle some issues and "my BEING is being spoken to" as you stated like never before. You are so right. It brought tears to my eyes, partly because I really feel I'm making headway and learning something profound about myself, but also because I was touched by your kindness on my thread here. Thank you for helping me.

God bless you, my friend!!!!!!!

Hi Cairene.

I'm happy that you are up-and-running again. The reading shows that it is not always one method of divination that can give vast insight into a matter!

Doing the Runes, was a "message" to me and a learning cycle on it's own for me. I just felt totally blocked to do a card reading, and felt the strong urge to define your advice within the Runes.

I really appreciate your response via swetha and also this posting!

Blessed be
