Hi Suz & All:
I apologize for not posting this sooner. I was working on it earlier
today, but did not have time to actually get it finished and posted.
This is not about judging from someone who does that well, though
hopefully not as much as I used to. This is about identification of
personality and essence.

There is, to my ears the music of the can do person, doing it and
then relating what they have done to fix/improve the situation.
Although I notice the possibility of the dictator, what I feel is the
strength of the can do. As a judge, it is easy for me to shall we
say, be rubbed the wrong way by having someone tell me how it is and
what they are doing about it, if I allow my personality side to
rule(my personality sees their personality). When viewing from a
mindful viewpoint, the light of the can do is shining.
From most of your posts, the way you state things gives me the feeling
of can do/take charge. Your forthright asking for a response here is
along that line. Its not so much what we are saying but HOW it is said.
As different personalities OR essences our responses will likely be
phrased based on those characteristics. As a judge, I might tell you
how you were wrong in saying whatever, but as a player, I hope that I
have been able to respond as part of a class working together.
In any given moment I may respond as any of the various personalities
or essences around the wheel, but over time, the repsonses will fall
into categories. Part of my artist like to see the pieces "fit". It
also makes the judge/rebel more likely to jump in or leave when they
don't, ie. you're not responding as a "good dictator" should. The
reality of it as I see it is that we all respond in perfect accordance
to our personality and essence, not good or bad. The origin of this
response may spring from years of personailty grooming or a few moments
of mindfulness. Hopefully my recognition of this in others and mostly
in myself will allow me to move more to the mindful/essential side.
Douglas, as for falling the heffalump trap, when you feel yourself
going over the edge yell loud, I'll try to break your fall at the
bottom. It would seem that the only folks never run into a dead end,
never leave home, but to me, that in and of itself is a dead end.
I was going to edit that last bit out as the artist cleaning up for the
judge, but I won't.
take care all, Jeff
ps. sneaking in a judge >Wow did they just start...
