The justified and necessary use of power in overcoming deliberate and persistent interference. Power is fulfilled through demanding control of the environment.
Trait 17 < Trait 21 > Trait 51
Purpose fulfilled through Mind
This Trait is part of the Strength of Management - The Money Line, A Design of a Materialist, linking Willpower (Trait 21) to Communication & Action in the Throat (Trait 45). Trait 21 is part of the Tribal (Ego/Will) Circuit with the keynote of support.
The 21st trait needs to be in control of its domain. In order to apply the strength and will of its ego to ensure the survival of the Tribe, it must have control over something or someone. In our modern world, this energy translates into the responsibilities given to the police, or managing director or president of a company. Biting Through is a powerful conditioning force for life on the material plane. We are successful when we can control our own material resources, where we live, what we wear, whom we work for and how we make our living.
Those who carry this trait do not like to be told what to do or to have people looking over their shoulder. On the other hand, we are destined to serve others because in a Tribal bargain all must benefit if we are to benefit ourselves. If we attempt to assume power, or to control others without following our Decision-Making Strategy, we will encounter forceful resistance. Regardless of the benefits of our intentions, we must wait until we are offered control. Advisors need to be with people who recognize and invite their ability to control; Builders have to be asked for access to their Energy Resource so they can respond; Innovators have to inform before they attempt to exert control and thus measure the resistance field. Without Trait 45 we will find ourselves searching for a position from which we can oversee the future and wealth of the community.
Elevation: Powerful and extreme reaction. Here, the severest action will be the most successful. The legitimate rejection of interference on the material plane.
Challenge: A tendency to regret severity, no matter how legitimate. The ego uncomfortable with severity.
