7 SHINING WARRIORS- FACETS/ARCHETYPES
Champion: +Caring Persuasion and -Defensive Coercion.
This WARRIOR stands up for the underdogs & the weak, feeling the impulse to protect, defend and create more room for others- even including those she doesn't like or care for. But this means she may defend at the expense of her well-being, or just defend something to compensate for no one coming to her own defense.
---
Bohemian: +Authentic Persuasion and -Displaying Coercion.
This WARRIOR is irreverent+unorthodox, breaking the mold and shaking off expectations, demands & obligations to create a path that more authentically represents her. But she can also just become combative, taking stands without intent to follow through & "puffing up" to hide or display herself as a defense.
---
Aggressor: +Continual Persuasion and -Exhausted Coercion.
This WARRIOR rises up from oppression/confinement to constantly fight for her life, something or someone because she has to, and she will not rest. But if not managed, she may end up exhausted and broken- refusing to acknowledge any wins or successes even as she's celebrated for her accomplishments.
---
Expert: +Pertinent Persuasion and -Dismissive Coercion.
This WARRIOR "knows her shit" and tirelessly fixes things- direct and to-the-point in action & communication.
Of course if not handled well, she behaves as if "she is the shit", knows better, dismisses you and even if she feigns to consider your input, she will do what she was going to do anyway.
---
Surprise: +Wise Persuasion and -Coercive Silence.
This WARRIOR keeps to herself how wise she is, but then surprises you with down-to-earth wisdom when you can hear her- or she does her best to bring levity & connect through humor+play when you can't.
But she can easily suffer from crippling shyness, extreme frustration and shame over being ineffective, unheard and not taken seriously- permanently shutting down/shutting you out.
---
Winner: +Intentional Persuasion and -Coercive Blame.
This WARRIOR is highly competitive & intends to win for herself or for/with you- holding all accountable (including
herself) to earn+sustain respect & show results for their actions+efforts. But she may just become a sore loser, blaming anything for her lack of win- or if she sees you're struggling, then it must be your fault.
---
Hard Worker: +Devoted Persuasion and -Coercive Occupation.
This WARRIOR pushes through and goes the extra mile, finding workarounds+solutions to make the best of obstacles- so if you/it are worth her time+energy, then you/it are worth the highest quality of that.
But she may become frantically busy, occupied with anything that hopefully gives her life a sense of direction and meaning to the point that she completely breaks down.

EVOLUTION OF A WARRIOR
The PRIMAL WARRIOR feels compelled to push everyone towards survival, and LOYALLY PROTECT whomever is in trouble against pain/suffering.
At first, you simply use -Coercion to mindlessly fight threats, push them away, harm others and display highly territorial behavior to protect & stand your ground against fear.
But once the consequences of this are understood, you start using +Persuasion as a way to better support and reinforce actions that help you & others band together through fear+anger and survive.
---
The ORDERLY WARRIOR has achieved a state of survival long enough to see the dawn of civilizations that protect, maintain and secure rightful law & order against the unpredictable forces of nature.
So you now funnel your compulsion to protect into an acceptable, familiar and civil role that loyally GUARDS whatever your family/society says needs protection against the outside world.
​
This first comes as you use -Coercion to push against, rigidly punish and threaten any forces of opposition that seek to destroy your sense of order, tradition or social structure.
But eventually, you come to use moral +Persuasion to influence others instead- and truly realize that your aim to defend is a conscious choice for something, for someone, for cohesion and peace- so you fully align with taking on a collective cause/challenge handed down from a higher authority.
This balance between punishment and influence is how you build confidence & learn you matter.
---
The INDIVIDUALIST WARRIOR comes to realize that your energy has been used to support/ground/guard for others when you could harness it for yourself & your directions/aspirations in life instead.
So now a desire to HAVE AMBITION is born within & you aim to do the tangible things you want to do, protect or accomplish- doubly enduring life and its ups+downs with great energy, courage, hard work & the indomitable will of your pure determination.
​
Breaking free from what confinements & imprisonments have restricted your freedom of action & power of influence- you now seek to achieve and realize your own personal goals.
Whether this be through -Coercion as you engage in power controls, political manipulation and a "winner take all" mentality- or as you work through the personal challenges of whatever territory you have set for yourself to conquer, by +Persuading the forces to work in your favor.
---
The RELATIONSHIP WARRIOR seeks to reconcile HAVING AMBITION with BEING SAFE- which means you actively seek to transform your ideas of who+what is actually threatening or needing protection.
You begin to look at what's harmed and what's hurting yourself/others in the world at large or in personal relationships now- redirecting or influencing those harmful patterns toward states of mutual peace.
At first, this comes through -Coercion as you struggle with how to protect & push for more safe spaces, mutual recognition of boundaries, empathy, unity and compassion without further hurting anyone or putting people into situations that risk more danger.
But eventually you realize your desire for safety is an exercise in your capacity to live+love without fear of fear- and your aim to accomplish ambitions is truly about +Persuading enthusiasm in yourself & everyone else for causes that matter to the well-being of all.
---
The HOLISTIC WARRIOR is done waging battles, sets down your sword & now seeks to generate enthusiasm and persuade love from yourself & others. You start to focus your efforts on how they increase the capacity for everyone+everything in you & the world to BE LOVED.
As with all things, this first comes through -Coercion. Even though you have set down your weapon, you still uphold your shield & can over-emphasize warnings, concerns, preemptive strategies and over-anticipation- as you try to "stay ahead" of every possible threat and obstacle to your safety.
But when you have comprehended that you+others are safe in the universe, you seek to share in paths that transform all weaknesses into strengths through love and inclusion. Thus, you encourage yourself+others to make a difference in life by +Persuading one's inner motivations to lead to more aligned paths of action & integrity.
