The Core Personalities: Their Light & Dark Characteristics
July 23, 2021
In the second installment of our five part series, we will discuss what determines your core personality. According to The Power of Silence
by Carlos Casteneda and Song Of The Deer: The Great Sun Dance Journey of the Soul
by Thunder Strikes with Jan Orsi, the “Core Personality” is decided before you are born and developed in the womb. It appears by year one and is ingrained by year three (Strikes & Orsi). It is how we learn to operate and engage with life. It emerges when a person is faced with an emergency or other high stress situation (Strikes & Orsi). There is also an innate light and dark side of who we are. This part of the ego is difficult to relate to as it is always waiting to protect our essence at any cost.
There are three core personalities; the Do-gooder, the Fart and the Space Cadet (Strikes & Orsi). The names, given by the twisted hairs, are from male and female elders with powers of knowledge from what was once called Turtle island (Strikes & Orsi). The names are meant to help us lighten up about ourselves (Strikes & Orsi). There are some basic descriptions of the three core personalities listed below. What traits do you identify with your core personality?
The Do-gooder (Idealist)
- They are loveable and nice people.
- They help others but not themselves. They need direction.
- They want to be acknowledged for their good deeds, which boosts their self-worth.
- They can make a difference and will do so.
The Fart
- They are great leaders (love the power but not the responsibility).
- They understand energy and should lead from a place of service.
- They can be very nasty and insist that people should conform to their rules and laws.
- They are hypercritical of self.
The Space Cadet (Daydreamer)
- They are neither nice nor unpleasant. They serve no one.
- They wait for things to happen and procrastinate.
- They overpromise and don’t deliver.
- They are amazing creators and visionaries. They are very detailed when they create.
When my ego perceives a story based on the reality I have created, it reminds me that I can relate with my innate self in a new light of healing and learning. The many years I have spent studying has helped me understand how to overcome the obstacles of working with my shadow self and embrace the light side of nature. It has empowered me and enabled me to relate to other lifetimes and to make better choices in my life, in a Dharma way of living.
I have also studied with Gael Carter and Marilyn Keffer at The Institute for Shamanic Medicine. They identify these names as Idealist, Fart and Daydreamer. I will use these names interchangeably based on the wisdom teaching I may refer to. My core personality allows me to focus on my strengths, so I can transcend my ego. I use my understanding of these teachings to overcome the obstacles that could have crippled me and forced me to stay in the shadows. When I realized I could heal and grow from this knowledge, I recognized that I wanted to be of service to others. I am truly grateful for the awareness and experiences that have led me to where I am today.

Part three of our series, which will discuss The Moods of Stalking, will be posted to our blog on August 6, 2021.
The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not. The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood. Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in. When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality. Tips for aligning with the “Veil”: Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem. Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien). Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder. Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel. Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side. Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations. Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words. Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you. Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you. If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
