Authority Nuances: ✨ (splenic & ego examples)
“Because the [Inner] Authority question comes up over and over again over the years from students from various generations talking about this or that, [asking about] names and how to describe these various nuances …
I really see that anything that is not Sacral/Emotional is [example of how] our authorities have mutated in a sense, they are variations of themes.
They have to be, because when you take away the Sacral and you take away the emotional system, [or] in essence you take away the life force. You take away the most powerful instruments there are.
And these nuances, these different kinds of sub-variations of themes of Authority, in so many cases they actually require a much deeper focus and awareness in order to be able to come to grips with them.
It’s like somebody like me. I have a very, very powerful mind. And yet, it‟s not my Authority [he had Splenic Authority].
I can remember the strength of my intuition long before I paid any attention to it.
I was one of these people who used to say quite regularly, “Yeah, I knew that was going to happen,” and never got it, never really grasped it because there was no way I could have any sense of its truth or be secure in that.
When I finally got to see my Design and I understood what it was that I could see, that I had this very fixed reliable intuition and it reached the mental plane -for me it was all part of my single Definition [ie his Authority/decision mechanic, had a direct connect to his thinking tool]- it was obvious to me that if I didn‟t pay attention to this that all was lost for me.
It’s going to be 20 years in January 2007 that I simply lived by my intuition and nothing else.
It’s spontaneous and it’s often very odd. It is what it is. It’s very mysterious. It’s very difficult to penetrate.
Like why did I put on the seatbelt at that moment? What was driving that? To really understand how mysterious it can be.
It’s not like a straightforward Sacral—uh-huh, uh-uh. It’s not like the emotional wave that has its own predictability to it because that is the wave.
It’s something else.
It’s this “poof‟ and then it’s gone. And because it’s like that, you need to know about it.
Otherwise, there is no way you’re going to trust this unless you realize that it is what your life is all about. You have to know what it is.
You have to learn the lessons of not ignoring it and the price that you [otherwise can] pay.
It’s the same thing with any other of these activations, the way they’re structured. What a handicap it is when you pull all that away.
That [for example if] the Authority is Ego driven … and yet, it’s this person’s purpose that gets fulfilled this way.
It is the mundane motor requirements of the Ego that dictate what the [Ego Authority] life should be.”
