THE CORE TRIBE TYPE
Core Tribe represents nature’s invasion-exclusion principal. Core Tribe is the dynamic of self-acceptance or submission to a broader cause or clime. When the soul decides to incarnate on earth, it submits itself to the vicissitudes of time, space and nature in form. It tacitly agrees to be under certain restrictions and limitations and to operate from within them. Though all humans that are born must undergo this, the quality of submitting in this way and the capacity to do so are Core Tribe qualities.
As a result of this ability, Core Tribe represents the power that comes from centrality or self-centeredness (although not in the negative connotation). Cores might be said to be the antithesis of Cardinal; they don’t desire or need to navigate anywhere, because they are always where they wish to be. Cores embody the principle of always dealing with what’s in front of them. They also exemplify the ability to check against an inner knower for verification. The core of Cores is strong.
Cores are attractive—not always in a specifically physical, animal sense. Cores embody the universal principles of gravity, in that the more that amasses around a single intent, the more other things tend to either be drawn in or moved to a greater distance. Core exhibits the strange quality of changing the nature of almost everything with which it interacts. It is difficult to achieve a perfect balance in which one is not either drawn into whatever Core cares about, or revolted and trying to escape it. Indifference around a Core is rare.
The danger of Cores is to become so self-absorbed that they lose their connection to external entities altogether. Black holes are cores that have inverted, and one can’t know what internal environment is being dealt with in them without terminally passing through them into that environment. Cores are capable of stopping the entire process of harmonic oscillation, growth and progress simply by allowing their natures to invert or involute. The Core attributes in a human life are supposed to be merely qualities that the soul brought with it, not goals or destinations. Cores are capable of invalidating their own choices completely, including the choice to have been born at all.
As an example of conscious behavior, Core represents the pivot point of all decisions, choice, and free will. In order to shift truly, one must return to one’s center and redirect, else the change is impermanent and stretches and skews the larger self. Core Tribe, therefore is life on the fence; a choice to live in order to decide something fundamental.
