Brian Wilson
challenges and difficulties

Wilson doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Brian is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

Brian Wilson has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though Brian limits himself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in himself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Brian Wilson difficult to get to know intimately, as Wilson tends to distance himself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

He is serious and sincere about his interests, does not accept superficial answers and is not easily placated. Brian wants his inspirations to become reality and he does not mind upsetting a few apple carts in the process. Brian Wilson becomes impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and his occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

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

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Brian Wilson 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 Brian Wilson needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Brian Wilson copes with stress. Brian Wilson also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Brian Wilson to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

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

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

Brian Wilson should care for and nourish children, plants, pets or other people. He needs to make a home, create and sustain strong relationships with his family or a community that can support him and give him a sense of safety and belonging.

Brian Wilson should develop his listening skills and deepen his understanding and appreciation of women and their perspective. Brian Wilson has to learn to trust his own feelings, intuitions and emotional needs. He needs to care for himself in an accepting, non-judgmental way.

It is in Brian Wilson's best interest to take all that is good and helpful from his past and use it in a new way. (If he is so inclined, Brian may want to explore the potential of past-life regression to tap into gifts he has already developed).
