Theme of the Day: Trait of Ideas, 11.3 - The realist

Trait 11 - Peace

Trait of Ideas - Ideas are Stimulation for Reflection

A harmonic condition in the individual or society that permits assessment before renewed action. Ideas are captured over time. One who seeks stimulation.

Trait 26 < Trait 11 > Trait 10

Life Work Theme of: Experience

Purpose fulfilled through Transformation

This Trait is part of the Strength of Curiosity, The Design of the Searcher, linking Conceptualization (Trait 11) to Communication & Action in the Throat  (Trait 56). Trait 11 is part of the Collective Sensing (Abstract) Circuit with the keynote of sharing.

Ideas are concepts designed to express what has been sensed. In Trait 11, possibilities are conceptualized into ideas. These ideas are not prescriptions for action because ideas come and go. At this point in the abstract process, we are given a quiet moment for assessment to sort out what has been remembered over the ups and downs of the experiential process. We are prone to remembering what we really liked about what we saw, while leaving the rest out. This is how ideas become ideals, then beliefs and finally belief systems over time. Those who carry this Trait seek the ideas of others to stimulate their own reflections, and enjoy stimulating others with their ideas, but not indiscriminately. Ideas reach the Throat as verbal expressions, not as manifestations of action, and they are designed simply to be reflected upon. Trying to solve our life's dilemmas with our own ideas will lead to frustration, further crises and confusion. We can take great delight, however, in savoring the stimulating details of past moments for their own sake. Without Trait 56 we are under pressure to tell our stories, and may do so impulsively without waiting for the right timing.


Quality 3 - The realist
The acknowledgment that peace is transitory.

Elevation: The internal renewal to maintain strength and alertness. The realization that ideas come and go.

Challenge: The tendency to appreciate harmony to the point of delusion. The belief that beauty is eternal. Fiddling while Rome burns. A pleasure in ideas that have no real application.
