CORE NARRATOR
The CORE NARRATOR only manifests when there's a sense that you're truthfully or affectionately expressing your values to those listening (Acceptance)- conveying your presence and allowing others to be present (Power)-and communicating, sharing or clarifying upon improvements (Idealist).
When these criteria are satisfied, your ESSENCE comes out to share with others what you’ve learnt as Fundamental Truths of the universe in a way that speak to them & make sense to them.
These truths can either be shared in a way that's simple and direct, or in a way that is cleverly or playfully cloaked as a way to subtly attract other's notice without being too "in your face".
Narrators are life's Messengers, Sages and Innocents who want to Communicate and Exchange- to be Seen and Heard and to See and Hear Others too.

All this in mind, your life philosophy is that the world is a Stage and you're an entertainer+communicator for your Audience in every moment- be that the general public or just a small partnership. Because of this, you're well aware of how easily dishonesty can be packaged/presented as if it's an honest truth.
On some level then when you shine, you sense you're always being watched for who you are & what you teach or exemplify; which plays into your 3 INPUTS that see the task at hand (1), the truth you're expressing or simply want to express (2) and how to express that to those who are listening (3).
As Narrators naturally like talking, there is a part of your core that needs to HEAR Truthful Words of Love- so the more one TELLS you that they love you, the more you'll feel REASSURED it's OK to NEED that.
In fact, if love is not offered, you can be needy & resort to quiet or demonstrative tantrums that wish for more direct and honest expressions of love.

If you have chosen the Core Narrator archetype, then you come into your own in the Contextual Awareness- as you learn how to own your role in the world as a teacher and provocative catalyst for igniting forgotten truths. You're the "reminder note" that encourages everyone to lighten up, have fun, remember your innocence, be ageless etc.
This is because you're the quickest to know maturity doesn't preclude all those good times of splashing about, and you possess a confidence to speak up even as you may be afraid to do so. You refuse to become jaded or mold yourself into roles that appear mature just for the sake of consolation.
Others can be quite annoyed by and dismissive of this strength though- so you will often relate with many blows to your innocence, shaming of your playfulness and an internal discord over necessary responsibilities that encourage vs. unnecessary obligations that hinder living life to the fullest.
But Narrators will always continue to poke and provoke others anyway to either get them to laugh, resolve conflicts and paradoxes & feel a sense of oneness with the world- or to help them notice with great honesty where they're refusing to allow their joy, happiness, innocence and fun in uptight, resistant or painful ways.

POLARITIES
When in -ORATION, you express yourself incessantly and obnoxiously- dumping information overloads upon those with no interest, talking just to fill your boredom or anxiety, and communicating with presumptions about your listeners rather than with genuine interest.
You quickly understand the simple truth of your experiences- but complicate and embellish that truth with drama, childishness, antagonism, performance etc. just to make it more interesting and conspicuous.
While your intentions through this are often to just have fun, you can easily end up losing or silencing your audience through your lecturing, soap boxing, mental masturbation and immature awareness of consequences- completely distorting any messages you intended to convey.
This can cause you to feel invisible, unheard, unseen and unaccepted- and you can quickly counter your flamboyant obnoxiousness with a dip into needy tantrums, silence and self-suppression.

The Narrator is keenly aware of how life tells a story, but Oration will simply fill that story/life with drama+theatrics or incessantly & vocally complain/gossip about injustices, aches, pains, struggles, obstacles etc. until you are shocked that there is a larger theme being built and told to others through your words and expressions.
This tendency to exaggerate can even lead you to prematurely take on responsibilities/relationships that are beyond your confidence- as you perform, overdo and overstate your jobs just to make an impression that expresses
something through your efforts, even if it makes little sense to others.
To shift into +DISSEMINATION means communicating the Wisdom you wish to express to your "audience" with substance- in a way that is captivating to them in fun or honest ways, and can be shared sans any performance of showmanship, small talk or personas.
Seeing the simple truth of any situation, you're able to adapt, express and play with it from multiple angles.
And through this you gauge your audiences by actively listening to them & responding to where they are in their understanding- to help them better hear+comprehend what you share, and come to their own conclusions without ever feeling as if a truth was imposed upon them.
Deep down, you'd much rather be rejected, scoffed at or dismissed with honesty for what you say, than to have others sycophantic or thoughtlessly embracing of your words- because your vitality comes from being TRULY heard+seen.
What matters now becomes the cohesiveness, quality and integrity of the story/life you're telling- that its theme can be comprehended, regardless of whether it is simpler, quieter or more subtle.

Dissemination simply means you share pure joy, play and humor- see through to everyone's core of innocence in even the most trying times- and allow room for the expression of all parts in you+others, especially those parts that wish to do the right thing even if they don't know what that is.
Over time, these means of connection help grow your needs for Affection, commonality, truthful exchanges, friendship and companionship- which are vital for any Narrator.
THE NARRATOR'S GREAT LESSON
The Great Lesson of the Core Narrator is to feel IMPORTANT and HEARD.
The Conscious Narrator expresses everything from your core, always communicating and TALKING- gladly telling everyone about your happiness, sadness, anger etc. no matter when, where or how that comes out.
You realize your feelings and expressions are important to someone, even if this starts out just being you.
---
When disconnected however, you become silent, shunned, suppressed, and withdraw your communication entirely- redirecting all urges to say what wants to be said into addictions, substance abuses and compulsions.
This Narrator is Greed, manifest- as you fixate on something you feel you don't have enough of, and struggle to attain this at the expense of all else in your life.
To return your immensely expressive spark of Essence to your days, it can help if you write letters, sing out
loud, share stories, poetry and personal journals with those who will listen & trust how you feel about another when you first meet them.
Owning where you are Right Now, realizing you have a Choice in this moment & the next, and Asking for Help when struggling so you know you're not living in a vacuum will always help too.
