Theme of the Day: Trait 27.3 - Making things better or not today

Trait 27 - Nourishment

Trait of Nourishement - Care for Oneself First

The enhancement of the quality and the substance through caring. The compassion and the energy to care for the weak.

Trait 3 < Trait 27 > Trait 24

Life Work Theme of: The Unexpected

Purpose fulfilled through Mind

This Trait is part of the Strength of Custodianship and Preservation, linking the Energy Resource (Trait 27) to the Survival Instinct (Trait 50). Trait 27 is part of the Tribal Protection (Defense) Circuit with the keynote of support.

The energy of the 27th trait is focused on maintaining and enhancing the quality of life through the power to care for the weak, the sick and the young. There is tremendous potential for altruism present in this trait, which we see exemplified in the life of Mother Teresa. The role of the 27th trait is to nourish and nurture through the power of compassion and care. The polarity is that we must also be nourished and nurtured ourselves. We must care for ourselves first in order to have the energy and resources to care for others, and then let our Decision-Making Strategy guide us to where and when we commit our energy. Nourishment or nurturing given without awareness is a waste of precious resources.

Each quality of this trait represents a way to connect to and care for the Tribe according to different levels of need. Without Trait 50, we may lack the instinct and values to set healthy boundaries around our natural impulse to care for others, and easily end up sacrificing ourselves or our own well-being.


Quality 3 - Greed
The obsession with having much more than one needs.

Elevation: Here, the psychological manifestation. The obsession and dependency on knowing what is hidden. The secret policeman. The power derived in having more than one needs, whether sexually, mentally, or materially.

Challenge: Mundane and wholly without redeeming value, greed, a lust that inevitably cripples and addicts. The lust for power to get more than one needs.
