Ray Manzarek
challenges and difficulties

Ray has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for Manzarek.

He is serious-minded and may have difficulty making light social conversation or participating in friendly, personal interchanges.

Ray Manzarek tries to be strictly accurate and he is critical of people who exaggerate or talk on subjects they really know little about. Manzarek withholds his thoughts and opinions until he has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Ray's silence discomforts others.

His mental concentration is very good but his breadth of understanding may not be.

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

He is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on his path, but when under stress Ray Manzarek becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what he has, he is apt to ignore the subtle signals he receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Ray Manzarek needs to learn the limits of his ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for him. Manzarek also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward his appetites and desires, as Ray Manzarek tends to overindulge and/or deny himself excessively.

It is in his public life and career that Ray Manzarek is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Manzarek's reputation and standing in his community or professional circle, as well as how Ray Manzarek achieves his important life goals and aspirations.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Ray Manzarek back, or which he is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Going to extremes, willful rebelliousness and an instinctive anti-authoritarian attitude. Ray Manzarek seeks constant (and often purposeless) movement or change, involvement with unreliable people, and individual freedom at any cost.

Ray Manzarek loves to show off the strength that he possesses and he has a strong desire to dominate others. Ray seems to have an exuberant craving for recognition and importance and a need to influence and lead large groups of people.

Ray Manzarek has a sympathetic understanding of other people and the ability to easily adapt himself to them. His emotional fulfillment is likely to come through his relationships with others and Manzarek will probably feel a soul-affinity with many of them.

Ray Manzarek has a strong desire to acquire a leading position in his community. Although he is very capable of assuming leadership, Ray also has a tendency to impose his will upon others. But in spite of that, he is likely to be successful.
