On Being and SEVEN:

The Universe is so complex and seeminly unfathomable, yet we try to taste and smell and feel and hear and touch as much of it as we are allowed. Damn the fear, there are things to do and see and sense and enjoy. There are people to meet and learn from, in the mean time. SEVENS are frightened and fearful of pain and yet march headlong into opportunities to engage in painful activities. Somewhat of a paradox, the healthy SEVEN avoids lingering beyond comfort and experience.

On Becoming and SEVEN:

Much of our life is future centered. It is, as Wayne Dyer once wrote, as if we are on this fabulous vacation on a beautiful tropical island and all we can think of is getting back home to tell everyone what a great time we had climbing the mountain, feeding the sharks or snorkeling with parrot fish. We are not in the moment because we are always planning the next opportunity, whethe that be to vacation somewhere else or to impress someone about where we have been. Life is never enough!!! It is not about having enough it is merely about having it all, NOW!

When a SEVEN dies:

Remember the line from Meril Streeps character in the Albert Brooks movie, Defending Your Life: When asked how she felt when she knew she was dead, she responded: "I was pissed!" As a SEVEN, God better stay clear for a few millenia when I am finally declared dead... I have so much more to do!

To Become a SEVEN:

Stop questioning, assuming, deducing and information gathering... DO!!!! My spouse is a FOUR and when a decision is immenent I must ask: "Is this our decision!" My tendancy is "iNtuit" that a conclusion has been reached and move forward.

On FOUR and SEVEN:

SEVEN can provide a practical rudder to a FOUR. FOUR makes SEVEN Think about Feeling... in the best cases FOUR facilitates Feeling in Thinking SEVENS... I am nearly ready to visit some of the pain so that I can forgive, move on and maybe not remember so much. This has all been facilitated by my loving FOUR spouse. But what if the FOUR is the source of the pain...? Well that is more difficult but Feeling and FOUR should work together to resolve issues for a Thinking SEVEN, right?
