By embarking on a lifelong quest for information, often about unusual or challenging subjects, Fives believe they can insulate themselves from emotional and spiritual harm. To them, gathering knowledge and mastering information are not just interesting endeavors but keys to survival. Fives are motivated by a desire to understand.No longer needing to be the star or in control, they care more about what’s best for the group and want to connect to something that’s bigger than they are. Less competitive and defensive, Threes in this space have more energy to devote to family and friends. When Threes are feeling secure they move to the positive side of Six, where they become warmer and more in touch with their feelings and the feelings of others. They have so many projects running and so many goals to achieve they can’t give their undivided attention to people they love. Without exception, the relationships of spiritually unevolved Threes suffer because they’re almost all workaholics.As you can imagine, however, their ability to create and project the image to make the sale or get the girl or guy can leave them wondering who their authentic self is.
They feel valuable, which unleashes a tender benevolence that is focused on the common good. They try to balance their abundant energy between work, rest and some kind of contemplative practice, recognizing the importance of being instead of doing. They still love to set goals, rise to challenges and solve problems, but their self-worth is not tied to these things. Healthy Threes have transcended the goal of merely looking good and are moving toward being known and loved for who they are, not for what they accomplish.Loving and lovable, they adapt well to changing circumstances and are aware of the true self that exists beyond their relationships. They create a comfortable, safe space for others and are often considered to be a friend to many. These happy, secure Twos also have appropriate boundaries, knowing what is theirs to do and what is not. They are generous in their efforts to love well and care for others. Healthy Twos can often name their own needs and feelings without fear of losing relationships.
The point of it is self-understanding and growing beyond the self-defeating dimensions of our personality, as well as improving relationships and growing in compassion for others.
