Trait 45 < Trait 12 > Trait 15
Purpose fulfilled through Form
This Trait is part of the Strength of Openness, The Design of the Social Being, linking Communication and Action (Trait 12) to the Emotional Intelligence (Trait 22). Trait12 is part of the Individual (Knowing) Circuit with the keynote of empowerment.
The articulate, mutative and moody voice of the Individual is restrained in Trait 12 by a natural caution. This caution keeps us silent until our mood tells us that we really do have something to say, as well as a unique, transformative way of saying it. The vocal vibration or tone of our voice speaks louder than our choice of words.
Standing still, or contemplating a unique perception or feeling until in the mood to express it in a creative way, through poetry or music for instance, gives our message time to mature. Those who carry this gate have their greatest impact on others as a "stranger of consequence;" like a performer, they translate and creatively express the joys and sorrows of loving and living, and then withdraw. When we are not in the mood, chances are our audience won't hear what we want them to, or will not experience the transformation or inspiration that interacting with us can bring. Impeccable timing maximizes the potential impact we can have on social/cultural norms, and on our way of being with each other in the world. We know how to express ourselves, but without the 22nd Trait we can't always clarify what it is we are feeling.
Elevation: The recognition of inadequacies and the purging of unjustified vanities. The expression of inadequacies in social interaction that leads to self-analysis and caution.
Challenge: A perverse and often exaggerated self-hatred. Inadequacies in social interaction that lead to the expression of self-hatred.
