OILING YOUR PRESENTER MOTOR

1ST GEAR


When you're in Mental First Gear, your mind is on maintaining bearings, health, safety, basic comfort, and non-interference.


2ND GEAR

When you're in Mental Second Gear, your heart tells your mind to get some love circulating, because a soul without love circulation is like a Porcshe on the planet of no gas stations. Love, whether giving or receiving, is the only fuel that we're built to run on long without blowing our gaskets and wrecking up the place.


3RD GEAR

When you're in Mental Third Gear, your mind is on finding a comfortable sense of your personal role in causing things and having a desired effect on things.


4TH GEAR

When you're in Mental Fourth Gear, your heart works the magic that balances the world you want with the world you've got.


5TH GEAR

When you're in Mental Fifth Gear, your mind is on making sure you get your chance to express something and have it received, unedited, for the good that might be experienced from it.


6TH GEAR

When you're in Mental Sixth Gear, your mind is in a more imaginitave mode, linking internal movie pictures together into something that could lift you from the realities of this moment to the proposed outcomes cooked up by your spirit. Pattern recognition is the ability that gives the 6th Gear its torque on real terrain.


7TH GEAR

When you're in Mental Seventh Gear, your mind settles comfortably into more and more experience of the divine. The divine activity in all things around you come into clearly viewable resolution when your mind's eye is in 7th Gear.

As Gifted as THE PRESENTER
In the arty science of getting a name
Have you lost track of the basic stuff you're made of? Here's your resource:

The Presenter is the identity-finder among the nine major personality types. Students of the enneagram tradition will recognize the Presenter as the "Type 3."

I believe the Presenter is also something we all inherit as a capability built into our own being at birth. So it's not just a personality type for especially gifted people; it is a set of genetic tools to help us each identify what might make us special or useful to others, so people know how to find us when they need something we have plenty of. The Presenter's path of study also leads us to discover that we don't have to be impressive to be valuable, especially to ourselves and our own growth.

I believe a story will provide you with a better glimpse of the energies at play in personality than any personality test or written profile will ever be able to convey. So to bring you into an Presenter's world long enough to get some of the flavor, I have scrounged up a list of songs. Songs are just story snapshots of the human condition, after all.

Click on the song list link below to introduce yourself to the Presenter moods of mankind, then come back to this page to check out the chart of Presenter key concepts to the right. Both the songs and the key concept chart will make more sense after you compare them back and forth.
