Spiritual concepts
Intelligence and personality
Each Intelligence is ‘conscious’ with the shared functions of communication as well as the functions of the particular system which it controls – so the Intelligence occasionally called ‘Neptune’, for example, can communicate and also controls the functions of the sea.
But each Intelligence has also been endowed with ‘Personality traits’ – attributes - which are used to build up the Personality geared to our Destiny.
Personality traits are functions just like any other function except thay they are unrelated to the operation of physical things.
The best way to demonstrate this is using a series of examples, so in the following charts I have compiled a fairly comprehensive list of the attributes [functions] that can be used to make up our personality.
According to the principle of Contrast, every one of these positive attributes must be balanced by a negative atribute, thus the chart shows both the positive attribute is shown in bold, the negative attribute in ordinary typeface.
There is a reason to suspect that these functions act in the same way as emotions do and that there is a sort of sliding scale of Intensity of function, meaning that some of the extremes I have listed may simply be more intense versions of existing functions.
Character Traits (attributes) of leadership
I have added those qualities which are needed to make a leader – the need to make decisions, the need to be reliable and consistent and so on. I have also included functions which are related to extreme forms of controlling behaviour – in effect when leadership has got out of control!
