                                               Red Level of Consciousness

I thought this would be a good way to share this resource which I refer to fairly often

What the different enneatypes look like at stage Red

Red Level of Consciousness

Type One: The Judge/The Vindicator. Type One, the Judge, at this stage of
evolution is the Vindicator, concerned with black or white, right or wrong,
justice or injustice as proscribed by their own internal values. At this level the
Vindicator manages to maintain a predatory position held in place by a belief
structure that says those who criticize, question or doubt my authority or power,
deserve to die (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Two: The Provider/The Profane Prostitute. Type Two, the Provider, at this
level performs as the Profane Prostitute and controls through indispensability,
operating from either a position of power or as the liaison to the power gods
or as the lieutenant in the gang. The Profane Prostitute is not about sex, but is
about offering self to obtain a position of power. At this level of consciousness,
power is obtained by being the liaison to power brokers, gang leaders or the gods.
The Profane Prostitute is represented in the masculine form by being the second
in command to the most powerful leader (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Three: The Doer/The Warrior. At this level, Type Three, the Doer,
shows up as the Warrior, ready to fight for whatever she believes will make her
successful and gain her recognition. She will not give up her freedom to meet
another’s expectations. At this level Type Three is likely to be in the perpetrator,
not the victim, role, because it is still imperative that she be viewed as the leader,
the one in control. The Doer at this level tends to move against others in an
effort to position herself on top. Her run for success is at all costs, because there
is no conscience to hold her back. Power brings acclaim (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Four: The Idealist/The Hysteric. Type Four, the Idealist, operates as the
Hysteric at this level of awareness from the position of being extremely rebellious
and “pissed off”. He finds himself more often in the role of victim than
perpetrator, because he is controlled by his emotions and sees things happening
to him, rather than taking responsibility for creating his own life. The Hysteric
allows his emotions to spontaneously run free, creating that fine line between
genius and insanity. The Hysteric either finds himself leading from a position of
passion or following from a position of suffering (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Five: The Sage/The Wizard. For Type 5, the Sage, or the Wizard at this
level, it is good to be close to the king but not the king. This allows for a position
of power from a safe distance. At this level, the Wizard maintains a foothold in
the previous level of consciousness and brings forth the elements of the magical
in a way that represents artful genius. From a Wizard platform, they maintain
a position of intellectual power and distance from the perpetrators. Depending
on their intellectual prowess they can either move into the perpetrator or prey
position (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Six: The Questioner/The Conniver. Type Six, the Questioner, is the
Conniver at the Red level. The Conniver has the ability to move into the phobic
prey space or the counterphobic perpetrator space. The paranoia is in full
swing with the mentality that “I’ll get them before they get me” and “better
you than me”. The phobic Conniver uses her intellectual faculties to move
towards those more powerful to be protected. The counterphobic moves into a
position of perpetrator, defending their hedonistic desires intellectually (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Seven: The Adventurer/The Addict. At this level, Type Seven, the
Adventurer, functions as the Addict. The Addict lives for today, indulging all
hedonistic sensual and sexual pleasures, because tomorrow may not come. For
the Addict, planning is engaged in day by day by day, having the most pleasure
possible each moment. The Addict soothes the pain by whatever means possible.
Type Seven at this level holds a position of power through the illusion of “smoke
and mirrors” (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Eight: The Defender/The Amazon/The War Lord. At this level of adult
psycho-social behavior, Type Eight, the Defender, is the perpetrator, excessively
controlling and dominating from a position of totality and fear as the Amazon
or War Lord. The Red Type Eight holds the “power” and provides protection to
those who bend totally to his/her will. The Eight operates as a protector for a
price. Since guilt is not present at this level of development, nothing reigns in
Type Eight’s insatiable proclivities for power and control (Ooten, Unpublished).

Type Nine: The Moderator/The Imploder. At this stage of development, Type
Nine, the Moderator, is the Imploder and has a greater capacity for being in
touch with his own needs, rather than the needs of others, than at other levels in
the first tier. He is driven by the internalized or imploded anger that gives him
permission to indulge narcissistically in his own desires and pleasures. At this
level of development, the Nine’s desire to avoid conflict recedes, giving way to
a sense of power over others that is not dampened by guilt or conscience. The
imploding of anger is likely to move the Nine into a position of isolation (Ooten, Unpublished).

LMAO I can see him getting his caddy to carry around a couple spare balls. Dude literally acts like an 8 year old boy that gets mad when losing at chess and will make two moves and lie straight to your face saying he only made one when you literally saw him make two.

The Postman is a great stage Red film. The villain is a well-done classic Red:

The Fallout universe, especially the original two games.

The whole appeal of the original two games as surviving in this desolate wasteland full of violence.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

I've worn out this clip but I think Dwight Yoakum does a good job playing a Red SD worldview character,"Doyle Hardgraves".

Morris- Orange/green? said that "Doyle was just showing his true Aries color".

The character Linda - blue/orange. The part played by Billy Bob - Blue? John Ritter's character - green?

The transition from red to orange:

 

What a wonderful song. Super inspiring. B.I.G was a genius, ahead of his time. I love way he starts:  

Yeah, this album is dedicated
To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good)
And all the niggas in the struggle
You know what I'm sayin'? It's all good, baby baby

I listened to this Biggies song while visualizing today. Another great genius, with super inspiring, genius song:

Very Red setting

There is no peace amongsts the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
