CORE SCHOLAR
The CORE SCHOLAR only manifests when there's a sense of what works efficiently and constructively (Pragmatism)-a permission to be/do/feel freely and move with the waves of life (Flow)- and a comprehensive understanding of the whole experience you're having, in theory or knowledge (Observation).
When these criteria are satisfied, your ESSENCE comes out to Dive Into and Immerse in your Experience completely to really learn as much as you can possibly KNOW from it.
Scholars are life's Avid Researchers, Explorers and Experiencers, who want Projects or People to study, create, work on, contribute to & truly participate in. These projects/studies are often experiential and fully immersive though, not purely theoretical- so the study could be about how to climb a mountain, relate with others, be happy etc.
---
You have 1 INPUT, so this means when you shine you're entirely focused on studying, researching, storing and archiving the task at hand.
​
Scholars are always studying, so when it comes to love there must be an EQUATION that makes sense or has meaning for you to KNOW & EXPERIENCE it. You must be PUSHED into Love, and lead with a helping hand+heart. Otherwise you can feel that Love is just an abstract concept that makes no sense, and you'll resist any new data, input or meanings that try to update that notion.
All this in mind, your life philosophy sees the world as a Laboratory of sorts- and all the experiences/relationships you have within it are risks and experiments playing out as part of your overall research studies.
​
As Scholars are the Neutral Core, you can feel that your essence is quite Invisible or Chameleon as well.
So you can easily show up as any other Core Essence (Server, Innovator, Warrior, Narrator, Guide or Director) depending on your interests for experience, projects and life themes.
--- ~~~ ---
If you have chosen the Core Scholar archetype, then your Essence is designed as a record keeper for all sources of knowledge because you feel the need to keep as up-to-date on all the events happening within and around you- deriving from each the most objective, pure and comprehensive understanding you can piece together.
This is because your nature is highly mathematical, and prone to holding your & others experiences in until they’re thoroughly processed, controlled, figured out & understood- especially if they involve paradoxes, emotions, intimacy or the concept of love, which all don't rely on your affinity for logical thinking. So you might isolate yourself from others, or isolate anything that triggers this confusion away from you until this is done.
This can lead you to over-extend yourself, and feel like there's a haunting, vague problem with you that you either learn to live with or feel you must fix- when in truth it's just a matter of clearing up & updating stagnant/heavy energy.
Some of the most helpful means to let go of this urge to "make sense of it all" are to LAUGH more in ways that revitalize you, SURRENDER when you sense you’re taking on too much or need to be clear, and understand+rely upon TRUST so that you can discern what you can and can't control.
Considering all this, your soul comes into its its own through the Relationship Awareness- when you learn that emotions are the way one truly knows and shares the value of experience.
And this is where you discover that finding/creating common ground brings the greatest objectivity, understanding, reconciliation and integration in life as well- which is something you're always seeking.
POLARITIES
When in -THEORY, you tend to be highly reactionary, dismissive and presumptuous.
This is because you decide the truth, value, worth and accuracy of a person or experience before you even have any experience with that. Or you believe that if this experience seems similar to a past experience, this one is and will be exactly the same, so you leave no room for variables or new data.
Theory urges you to resort only to what's familiar, known or presumed true- while locking out your effort, curiosity and enthusiasm for knowing any more, because you know what you know and that's enough.
Theory allows you take no risks or action as you escape, ignore, resist and deflect any experiences in the present or future that mess with & disturb your sense of familiarity and knowing.
---
Theory can also show in that you Spread Yourself Too Thin in eagerly trying to learn & extract wisdom from every experience. So you end up not knowing much at all that you wanted to, and simply become a barrage of empty info, tales and words that you may incessantly share with others- but hold no value.
You display superficial affectations that feign experience- but lack the space+time needed to develop a real understanding that truly knows. And you continually compensate for the fact that you don't know & feel trivial about what you do know- by trying your best to declare that you do understand fully and completely.
To shift into +KNOWLEDGE means you trust in and use past experiences to keep perspective and expand into the present+future with greater curiosity & openness to take action, risks and challenges- experiment with and explore your options- and actively or passionately jump/dive into experiences hands-on.
All of this exploration then helps you transform and deepen your understanding of your study because you process and apply what you've learnt and experienced.
You begin to navigate with adaptability+flexibility and realize when you need to step back, REST & SURRENDER when unable to control forces greater than you. This helps you recenter and returns a sense of power to you that can more effectively navigate and make sense of things.
THE SCHOLAR'S GREAT LESSON
The Great Lesson of the Core Scholar is to discover the equation of LOVE.
When the Scholar is conscious, you realize on a deep level that you are whole, complete & truly like yourself.
So you choose to trust, open your heart to others, share intimately and love ALL aspects of your life- even the worst of yourself and the hardest times you've passed through.
---
When disconnected however, you resist examining the state of your life, and the feelings+pains you've felt.
You argue your points, ignore the painful past and destroy or deteriorate anyone who comes too close to personal areas- so you resist love because it doesn't make sense.
This Scholar is Stubbornness, manifest- as you build walls around your heart, close off, shut down, and any love you do seek is only that which can provide further refuge to hold up these walls.
To return a sense of Essence and intimacy to your days, it can help to talk to children about their perspectives of life, playing with them or on a playground to release your inner child- as well as to actually laugh, surrender when you can't control things & experience the AWE of aromas+visuals from flowers or the ocean.
When you let energy flow through your mind, body, heart and soul- you choose to clear up, open and update your theories as a way to know more & be more present.
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.
