personal recipe

I had a friend once who refused to play with the labels of families of consciousness and orientations etc. because she felt like all of them and felt them limiting. I feel like all of them also, some more than others from time to time, but/and I noticed that I do lean more in certain directions. I don't see the labels as limiting but rather as easy guides to help us understand where another person is coming from and how they are processing information and what their most likely leanings are. They aren't absolutes but I do find them to be helpful. That said here are some of the labels that help describe me -- a potent cocktail this can be and I feel like I'm still growing into parts of it.

There is a list of links posted below for finding your own ingredients if you don't already know them. These are mine:


From notes 2-28-16

I am one of those “Can’t we all just get along” people. Let’s just be happy, because we exist. Let’s play, and enjoy this place, because that’s what we came here for. I already went through the dark night of the soul, already did the battles and realized my foundational truth. That’s it, just enjoy this place.

Also there’s the Vold (aligning) part of me that’s intent on blowing up the old paradigm separation/ limitation structures/ programs. My battles, guaranteed, are not against any person but against the crap they’ve been trained with that separates them from the majesty of who they really are.

There’s the Sumari (belonging) artistic revolutionary part that with any luck softens that Vold and makes my actions more creatively focused than just blowing shit up. :p

There’s the Aries sun part that is just going to dance or make a hole or burn some shit, all passion and vive and movement. Innovator. Then there’s the Virgo moon part that’s going to be so effing anal-retentive and detail-minded and controlling, wanting everything just so because I said so, because it makes better sense that way, logical. Then there’s the Cancer ascendant that is all about home and family and let’s all just get along.

Then there’s the soft orientation that feels a part of nearly everything.

And then there is the Dream Walker aspect; once a Speaker always a Speaker. In addition to being fragmented from Dream Walker essence & therefore "holding all of the qualities and remembrance" (whether they show up or not) I also have mergeance with a Dream Walker aspect while physically focused, to assist in helpfulness and guiding, subjectively and objectively.

There’s the final focus part which appears to incorporate condensed versions of other focuses, or themes over several other focuses, within certain time frames of this focus, making it appear as if I’ve lived already many distinct lifetimes in this one life.

Then there’s the dispersed part which automatically merges, not feeling “a part of” but actually feeling as if it were mine, everything it bumps into and goes through.

Then there’s the leader personality part which is the vehicle for group movement, the amplifier and the facilitator. That one hasn't been confirmed but it sure rings true for me. If it's not mine then I sure did a strong job of merging with somebody who is LP.

Then there’s the political focus element which is a balance and combination of thought focus and emotional focus and religious/intuition/impression focus, “the expression of interaction between yourselves and all other essences in every manner.” “politically-focused individuals are focused within their process of information in collectivity. They process information through a collective expression”, through the blue energy center, and naturally analyze emotion with a "tremendous attempt to be expressing in language the quality of the experience." (session 753)

There should be some avocado in there somewhere, guacamole...

Focus Orientation
Common, Soft, or Intermediate
“Orientation is your perception of yourself, your world, your universe, and how you are interactive with it.” [session 361, February 12, 1999]

Oh yeah, I am also INTP, in the Myers Briggs testing -- very nearly balanced at last test, but leaning just a bit to INTP. Stands for introvert, intuitive, thinking, perceiving, and the descriptions I have found for this personality type are very fitting.





This particular type is listed as 3-5% of the population -- so if I am in a random room of sixty people there should be one other INTP, and maybe as many as two others.



In this list INTP is all minority except introvert is very slightly higher than extrovert.
The largest difference is the sensing category being attributed to 73% of people while intuition being 26%
