The Tribal circuit group
The Tribe connects people through feelings, kinship and loyalty. Its heart is shared: one person's business becomes everyone's business. In the language of the Tribe, support means ownership: the Tribe is sensitive to basic needs — food, clothing, a roof over your head — and to the structure that holds everything together. When everyone is provided for, there is peace; when not, the Tribe is ready to rebel to restore the balance.
The most characteristic trait of the Tribe is the bargain that guarantees support: “I've got your back if you've got mine.” The Tribe gives everyone a place in its support network and protects them as long as they are in their place and making their contribution.
The two focuses of the Ego
The Ego circuit has a dual focus. The first is the material world: family, and the creation and distribution of money and resources. The second balances the need to survive materially with a deep need for the spiritual. Together they create two forces of continuous support that keep people within the Tribe.
Channels
Transformation (54–32), Surrender (44–26), Synthesis (19–49), Community (37–40) and Money (21–45). Here you find ambition and advancement, the memory of experience and the knack for “selling,” sensitivity to needs, agreements about care and the management of resources.
Pitfalls
Codependence instead of mutual support, agreements in which one side gives more than it receives, control instead of trust.
Your strength lies in honest agreements: you give what you promised and receive what was agreed.
