Workshop: Active Meditation – Personality & Characteristics
BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
For us to fully engage with the unity source and to properly use our tools for divination, we first need to understand our make-up, how our personality preferences and expression of self influence our abilities to divine, define which of the five main senses work best for us to use the sixth and be better informed of the pitfalls, trip-ups, know our false ‘god’ trickster and how other archetypes either block/disrupt or enhance our skills of divination.
We all need to direct our focus within to understand our true nature for best use of our skills – and there are number of ways we can do this.
Know Thyself
Everything is ‘mind’. From mind, comes thought, imagination and image. With the Will activated, we have the force at hand. But without focus on a pre-defined goal, we are aimless. Knowing how where make-up brings us powers and weaknesses, helps us to apply energy in the right areas that work best (in our pursuit of success) and/or create stronger defences to prevent failure.
Without knowing our strengths and weaknesses, we cannot choose to use the right tools. We won’t know how much effort is required. Through obtaining a greater understanding of who we are and what we can achieve, we can take action by honing our best skills and/or dedicate more time to develop skills where they are perhaps lacking.
Testing Type
We either meander through life or we take a planned route. We can look at the scenery and enjoy the road much better – when we know we’ve created a route with rest stops and places of interest and deviations and backup plans. We can put in some preparations for planning an adventure holiday, so why not apply the same to life?
Myers Briggs
Psychotherapy became a big thing in 20th century America as a way to deal with Post Traumatic Disorder Syndrome following World Wars, Korea and Vietnam. Seeing a ‘shrink’ has become synonymous with getting our house in order. We can be our our psychiatrist through taking online tests which reveal our preferred personality expressions according to type.

Enneagram Type
The Enneagram is an ancient system which divides the personality into the three brains – login, emotional and instinct. We can link the different Enneagram types through a number of lines for inclination and delineation. A type can be linked via 'wings' or through triads called centre of intelligence, harmony, harmonic and hornevian. These personality type indicators explain how we mange stress, interact with others and make sense of the world.

Human Design
The Human Design System is a self-awareness framework that blends astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics. It was developed by Ra Uru Hu (born Robert Allan Krakower), a former businessman who, in 1987, claimed to have received a mystical transmission of knowledge while on the Spanish island of Ibiza. This experience led him to spend years refining and teaching the system, which he believed could help people live in alignment with their true nature.
Human Design provides individuals with a BodyGraph, a personalised chart generated using birth data. This chart categorizes people into five energy types—Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors—each with unique decision-making strategies and life approaches. It also highlights centers of energy, personality traits, and life themes.

Personality And Character
We are born with some hard-wired traits that set up our personality traits. As we learn to interact with the world, we adjust the expression of personality traits to fit in to social constructs and to better get on in life – this is where we develop strong characteristics that fit around and with the defining personality expressions to either rein in or be more in tune with those traits that work best in any situation.
Having a strong character is our ability to master the personality and choose our expressions appropriately. There are a number of ways to test out personalities and make good of our character based on what we know our default reactions to be (especially under stress).
In the stars. To understand where our defining characteristics are influenced by the stars, we can take a free birth chart test here
Three Brains. We can also see how the elements define our make-up with the Daoist Dantien type Five elements test here
Brain Gender: To observe which hemisphere of the brain we favour more, there are a number of free brain function and gender expression articles online, with characteristics determined by free test here.
Body fluids. Greek four Temperaments test here
Dosha. Take the Ayurvedic test here
Blood Type. Skin tone is irrelevant; this reveals the best foods for your blood. Your teeth will also reveal your natural preferences – if you have prominent canines, likely you're a type 'O'. The following video highlights where certain blood types have characteristics that are more preferable to other types.
Understanding our default programming creates better insights – raising awareness of where we are going to succeed or fail in certain situations. Taking an Enneagram, Myers Briggs or Human Design test offers us several additional benefits. It helps people understand their strengths, decision-making strategies, and relationship dynamics, leading to greater self-acceptance and alignment with their natural flow.
Witnessing where our doshas, the elements, our humours and star signs interconnect to define who we are. We can see in our facial characteristics and body shape how accurate these tests and the results actually are. Knowing our nature means we can know which foods, minerals and nutrients – which habits and which rhythms work best for our body type
Many find it useful to use tests in career choices, personal growth, and communication. While some view these tests as being dependent on a situation or mood and hard to clearly define one's 'type', others see this kind of self-knowing exercise as a valuable tool for self-discovery and living authentically.
