Theme of the Day: Trait 24.1 - Theme of revisiting the past today

Trait 24 - The Return

Trait of Rationalization - Inspiration Must be Given a Rational Form

The natural and spontaneous process of transformation and renewal. Rationalizing is a risk and a test of the Spirit. There is no proof or experience, only knowing.

Trait 27 < Trait 24 > Trait 2

Life Work Theme of: The Way

Purpose fulfilled through Mind

This Trait is part of the Strength of the Creative Process - Awareness, A Design of the Thinker, linking Conceptualization (Trait 24) to Inspiration (Trait 61). Trait 24 is part of the Individual (Knowing) Circuit with the keynote of empowerment.

Trait 24's function is to take the unique inspiration of Trait 61 and turn it into a rational concept which can eventually be communicated to others. It returns to the same territory over and over again, pondering a thought it considers inspiring, reviewing it until it can be brought into form. Our mind cannot act on the inspiration, however, or prove it logically or through past experience. This is a natural and spontaneous process of transformation, mental renewal and unique knowing. One moment the knowing is not there and the next moment it is. To use our individual mind to our greatest advantage, we need to give ourselves time to return and review. This process can include watching or listening to something over and over again. If we let our mind transform organically, without attempting to control it, the resolution will often appear on its own. We will hear it in a moment of silence, like those aha's that pop into our mind in the middle of the night.

Trait 24 is the fear of ignorance, which is the mental anxiety that we will never know for certain, or that we won't be able to explain our knowing. If we try and make decisions with our mind, we will trigger this anxiety. Without Trait 61 we are under pressure to make not-self mental decisions to look for the next inspiring mystery to solve.


Quality 1 - The sin of omission
Transformation that requires retrogressive periods before renewal can take place.

Elevation: The will to triumph and in this case the faith that the end justifies the means. Inspiration that demands a reassessment of past thinking before a rational concept can be established.

Challenge: Self-delusion which unnaturally justifies periods of retrogression. Inspiration that leads to an irrational focus on what is past.
