Line 22.2 “Charm School”

The second line of the gate of openness has a natural emotional style that draws people in. It knows how to present itself beautifully, though it sometimes believes good manners can conceal one's true nature, and convinces not only others but itself of that.

Someone with this line often has a charm that others notice before they do. They are invited wherever a good impression is needed: presentations, meetings, celebrations. Style, tone and gestures work for them almost effortlessly. The risk is that form gradually replaces substance: energy goes into appearance and manners while their real feelings and awareness stay in the shadows. Then even a genuine smile can start to look rehearsed.

A natural style that charms and attracts people. They can create an atmosphere of ease and warmth, and thanks to it doors open for them readily.

Making form the rule instead of substance. Energy flows into style and manners at the expense of real awareness, and the person risks deceiving not only others but above all themselves.
