Allen Ginsberg
challenges and difficulties

Ginsberg both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting himself be known in a deep way does not come easily to Allen, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Allen Ginsberg is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Ginsberg.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Allen. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Allen Ginsberg is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Ginsberg wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Allen Ginsberg strives and struggles a great deal with his ideals or spiritual aspirations. He may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or he may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, he can never quite divorce himself from his idealistic concerns.

Allen Ginsberg tends to be shy, sensitive and stiff with his emotions and may have difficulty expressing his true feelings, even though his affection for someone is there. One of Ginsberg's parents may have been too strict and unloving, and so Allen may fear close relationships.

His attitude toward life is quite serious and he is very thorough. Allen has the need to be by himself and think out everything very carefully before he takes action. Allen Ginsberg may enjoy doing some type of creative art work shaped from hard or heavy materials.

A bit stubborn and self-willed, Allen Ginsberg persists no matter what obstacles he has to overcome. He has great endurance and strength and he forces himself to work very hard. Allen Ginsberg could be somewhat one-sided in the pursuit of his objectives.

He is inclined to be rather serious and withdrawn. Feeling very uncomfortable in the presence of others, Allen Ginsberg shies away from social contacts and prefers to be by himself.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Allen Ginsberg instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Allen Ginsberg needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

When under stress, Allen Ginsberg is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering his tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Allen Ginsberg's growth. Allen Ginsberg needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both himself and others. Letting himself be taken care of sometimes is okay!

It is in trying to strike a balance between Ginsberg's inner, personal life and his career or involvement with the world at large that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Allen Ginsberg needs to focus attention on his home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.

The following are specific activities that will support Allen Ginsberg in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Ginsberg, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Allen Ginsberg's path to wholeness involves confronting his dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming himself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of Ginsberg's willingness to experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and pain. Furthermore, bringing light to the darkness and pain in the world without becoming overwhelmed by it is a significant challenge for Allen.

Allen Ginsberg tends to feel inferior and his attitude in the presence of others could be a bit negative or weak. He is inclined to shy away from groups and would be a rather quiet and passive member of an organization or association.

Allen Ginsberg has a tendency to shy away from other people, and he reacts toward others in an almost fearful way. Ginsberg seems to lack confidence in himself and for this reason may feel that he lacks the ability to adapt easily into relationships with others.
