  • WCME 056: The 27 Subtypes, with Beatrice Chestnut: 5, 6, and 7

    There once was a Chestnut named Bea

    Who divided each type into three.
    It explains lots of tricks,
    For example, why Six
    Sometimes wants to fight, sometimes to flee.

    Beatrice Chestnut is pretty much the queen of subtypes. So we’re thrilled to have her on the show to talk about why subtypes are awesome, and to begin our in-depth tour of all 27 subtypes!

    • What is an instinct?
    • What is a subtype?
    • Why do some people call wings “subtypes”?
    • Why are subtypes important?
    • The subtypes of Type 5:

      • sp: Castle
      • so: Totem
      • sx: Confidence (the countertype)
      • The subtypes of Type 6:

        • sp: Warmth
        • so: Duty
        • sx: Strength/Beauty (the countertype)
        • The subtypes of Type 7:

          • sp: Keeper of the Castle
          • so: Sacrifice (the countertype)
          • sx: Suggestibility
          • You can find Bea at beatricechestnut.com, and she’ll be back again soon to pick up from where she left off!

          • WCME 055: What if I don’t identify with my Passion? (aka False Jewel)

            Start with a few deadly sins,

            Then add two, just for shits and grins.
            Now call it a “passion”
            with words out of fashion
            And that’s where our story begins.

            Cherie asks: “What if you don’t feel your Passion is true for you? I really do not identify with avarice. Does anyone else of any type have this issue? I feel healthy boundaries are important, but don’t feel I’m withholding much of anything.”

            Our top 3 suggestions:

            • 1. Check yourself. Perhaps you’re not consciously aware of your False Jewel?
            • 2. Check your type. Are you sure you’ve identified yourself correctly?
            • 3. Learn about your subtype. Some of the subtypes can go for their False Jewels in different ways.

                          The advice “Do self-work!”, oft dispensed,

                          Is so true, but resistance gets tensed.
                          Would it not be hype

                          become enlightened and we won’t have any resistance to doing self-work. But until then, it’s helpful to have a boost.

                          • 4 (Romantic): “I would know myself in all my parts”
                          • 5 (Investigator): “I would investigate myself in all my parts”
                          • 6 (Loyal Skeptic): Join a self-work group.
                          • 7 (Enthusiast): Make it exciting and fun!
                          • 8 (Challenger): What’s more hardcore than annihilating your sense of self and rebuilding it from the ground up?
                          • 9 (Peace-Seeker): Make self-work be the flow, then go with the flow.

                                Let’s find out what’s true.
                                We’ll learn… and might even agree.

                                We talk with Sebastian about his type. Before the show, he didn’t know whether he was a 2, a 3, a 4, or a 7. Listen and find out, and also learn about how to tell a 3 from a 7.
