THE WHITE CORE TRUTH TRIBE

THE WHITE CORE TRUTH TRIBE
White Core Truth Tribe stands out among the others of their Clan due to the Core Tribe Type influence. Whereas most other Tribe types incorporate principles of outward bound and goal-oriented navigation, Core Tribe Type seeks only inwardly, and seeks stability rather than change. White Core Truth is the inverse of navigation, exploration, and growth. White Core Truth concerns itself with what is known, and universally accepted and endeavors to protect and adore it.
This is not meant to restrict the possibility of this tribe against discovery or venturing outward for some purpose. Look closely, and you’ll likely find in every White Core Truth’s plan or activity an attempt to preserve and crystallize, to discover or understand only what was already true, what already existed, and to preserve for posterity all that is, rather than induct the new into a category.
White Truth Clan has been described thus far as the influence of venturing bravely into unknown territory and establishing new categories and situations into which the mysterious can be understood and ultimately used. However, the Core Tribe Type of this Clan centers its activity on the central body of understanding, knowledge or accepted truth from which that exploration and organization draws its resources. White Core Truth believes that no exploration will be possible without these resources, and understands that too much new can destroy the ability to envelope anything. In this way, White Core Truth echoes the Red Blood Clan dynamic of creating comfort, nurturing, and making community possible. For White Core Truth, instead of community of other people, however, the community is of knowledge with itself.
White Core Truth are those who created or espouse the periodic table of elements, the scientific notation system, the dui-decimal system, the Latin organizational chart of Kingdoms into which all things are classified, and so on. White Core Truth are the political party insiders, the institution’s board members, the newspaper’s editors. White Core Truth tribe members might be researchers, but they’ll research known entities that were lost, such as obscure history, landscape geology, anthropology of known species, and so on. To distinguish this point, the White Core Truth tribe member, for instance, will be less inclined to take on study of a new species, compose music, search for new astral bodies, introduce landmark legislation, or start a small business. They’re capable of all these, but will be driven instead toward nailing down those things that are already known but which they perceive to be incompletely defined.
At the core of White Core Truth is the drive to know; to achieve and maintain the state of knowing. When a computer is running, much code is loaded into an active state of memory called RAM. If the power to the computer is suddenly revoked, whatever was active in the RAM is simply gone. Essentially, the RAM information is dependent on the flow of electricity to the computer being consistent and continuous. So, some information surfs on the wave of current. Such information can, however be encoded into areas of the computer that don’t rely on current for storage, called ROM. Once information is thus encoded into the ROM capacities of a computer, even when the current is cut, the information will be there, waiting to be used. White Core Truth believes that if enough can be uploaded into consciousness, our own personal RAM, then a by-product of all that information surfing our consciousness will be enlightenment, and joy. At the same time, White Core Truth understands that if the current is suddenly removed, if they were to die, for instance, all that knowledge could be irrevocably lost. No one would benefit form one of us having been enlightened or happy unless some attempt is made to store the knowledge we acquire reliably and retrievably. The life activity of a White Core Truth tribe member involves both the attempt to upload information into his own consciousness, and to record what can be known more permanently.
When White Core Truth is in the state of knowing it so earnestly seeks, she can be enigmatic or annoying to others, depending on the state of the observer. Too easily, White Core Truth can be the know-it-all that delights in instructing, correcting, and being the center of attention. This is just as likely to be an unintentional by-product of White Core Truth’s comfortable state of joy or enlightenment as it is to be a personality shortcoming of an insincere White Core Truth tribe member. Your White Core Truth friend may just innocently be caught up in the joy of knowing and trying to share that joy with you. She may not intend to squelch your creativity or incongruously overlook exceptions. She may think she’s doing you a favor, or offering you a rare pearl. On the other hand, she may be a pedantic professor that doesn’t like to be wrong, seeing error as a form of weakness or failure. She may fight tooth and nail against something that is obviously acquiring legitimacy, simply because it hasn’t paid its dues in time and achieved popular acceptance among experts.
Personally, White Core Truth will tend to develop personality types that assume that if the situation can be understood at its core, then the answers will come of their own. White Core Truth will help a friend by exploring with them how their problems or issues are making them feel and seek a central issue or pivot on which the problem appears to turn. Then White Core Truth will assume they’ve helped, even if a solution hasn’t been established. Knowing the core is to solve the problem, according the White Core Truth philosophy.
According to this tendency, White Core Truth tribe members can often seem to adopt unhappy, even ugly causes and ideas and advocate for them as though they were little understood pearls. White Core Truth may cherish his own pain or sorrow, because he has decided it is a core truth, a completely appropriate and historically accepted response to the situation. White Core Truth is the kind of person that might argue that Hitler, for instance, should be admired for his charisma, Machiavelli for his honesty and cleverness, or a hurricane for its sheer destructiveness. White Core Truth can seize upon a concept or person that they believe exemplifies something essential or eternal and advocate for it without apology or acknowledgement for discrepancies.
White Core Truth is not polar by nature. She doesn’t take sides, per se. She doesn’t believe there are other sides, once she takes them. She is not fighting another side, when she supports whatever side she’s chosen. Rather, she’s dealing with chaos (anyone on the other side) from a relatively stable central core (whatever cause she’s adopted). She’s convincing others to come in out of the cold into the light and warmth of what is right and acceptable and eternally true. Neither is White Core Truth seeking change in her cause. She hopes others will adopt the same cause, but she does not hope for her cause to undergo any fundamental change. She glories in the discovery of truth as though it were unchangeable. That’s what truth is: a destination that is no longer going anywhere.
The greatest sin, the unforgivable sin to a White Core Truth tribe member, is to allow them to think of something as truth that turns out to be a lie. This must be distinguished from misunderstandings in which something that isn’t quite complete is seized upon by White Core Truth, who will ignore discrepancies. The sin would be for White Core Truth to realize that they were duped. It is difficult for anyone not of this tribe to understand the psychic damage that such an occurrence can cause to White Core Truth, nor to explain the process by which White Core Truth would heal from it. To know anything absolutely, only to discover that you were absolutely in error compromises one’s faith in oneself. White Core Truth giving up on knowing is akin to suicide. Thus, it’s essential, should such a fatal blow descend upon the White Core Truth in your life, for you to reassure White Core Truth in his ability to recognize truth. Tell them they’ll learn from this experience to better know when something is true or not. Tell them their enthusiasm blinded them and a little caution will save them ever falling into that trap again. Say that someone else was evil to them. Say something, because without a way out, White Core Truth has a way of resorting to extremes. It’s in their nature to believe all things should be extremely true.
