Psychology Of Red

Amassing as much as one can often stems from a fear of lack. Here the inner identity is still struggling to assert itself against the environment or everything/one else. It is building an ego, a structure of self-value in relation to other-value.

One imbalanced stage on the way to a healthy developmental level at Red, is the circumstance where one accumulates more than one needs, yet is still identified with the resources (the form) themselves (outside of oneself) rather than the skill (inner identify) for amassing and distributing such power equally between one-self and others.

This stems from an state of individuation where the impulsive and yet fragile identity does not yet have a balanced sense of how to maintain what will help the self without fear of non-existence or shame upon losing it. Hence, the tendency to hold onto resources or status without fair distribution, or only to one’s inner circle, tribe, or cartel.

Healthy Practices + Structures for Self Mastery

• Martial Arts - with an adherence to form as a balance of body, emotion, mind using breath, movement, and meditation.

• Dance - with formal structure and form such as Bachatta, Salsa, Capoeira, etc.

• Weight Lifting, Boxing, or Wrestling — with formal rules and yet individual power and style, this form of competition allows for the channelling of raw individual power within a socially overseen and accepted group structure of performance/achievement and recognition.

• Ritual + Repetition- from physical preparation before performance, to adherence to unique practices that build trust and establish significant developmental movement toward moving from fear into presence toward one’s goals.

Psychology of Blue

Creating essential and unequivocal order to prevent the failings or imbalances of the previous stage with its knife-edge experience of impulsiveness/subversion.

This order is intended to contain and to rule — to be the guiding commitment that one’s tribe and community at large all pledge to follow and to uphold in order to maintain the peace, or a sense of balance and moral development.

The structures that evolve here are rigid, dogmatic, and intended to be helpful as strong respectable guidance and a failsafe in keeping the raw unbridled power, otherwise unchecked, moving in the ‘right’ direction that helps the whole.

Here the ego-self begins to feel proud in upholding what is good for the whole, and thus identifies with the group or tribe based on merit or moral order. The development of the communal attitude becomes the guiding principle, and so law and order and religion and strict education or skillsets begin to form in order to reform the raw lawless energies around them.

Healthy Practices + Structures for Group Mastery

• Sports — with a team against team structure, this encourages rules, order, and success through practice, repetition, and a balance of self-mastery in collaboration or relationship with others’ self-mastery which builds reliance and trust, working toward success against one’s previous ‘best’, while challenging others.

• Performing Arts — Performances as a group, whether through storytelling such as stage performances or movies, dance performances, concerts, and collective ritual celebrations for group achievement.

RED WORLDVIEW

Power Dominance/Submission?

Those viewing the world through a Red lens aim to establish control and prominence through sheer influential force. 

The Red psychology is wired to command respect through bold displays of dominance. They lead via raw magnetism and wielding authority. While such strong-arm influence can achieve goals, it overlooks ethics and the greater good. 

In studying this further, we should explore the contexts where Red leaders gain followings versus eventual rebellion. Their impulsiveness and desire for immediate results can inspire action yet also sow seeds of uprising if they ignore prudence and care for people.

Not all expressions of power translate into ethical, sustainable leadership. Discernment is required to channel Red psychology toward positive ends rather than coercion through force of personality.

BLUE WORLDVIEW

Rules/Roles + Tradition?

The blue value system focuses on order, rules, and tradition. It is characterized by a strong sense of duty and discipline and a belief in a moral code that is handed down from a higher authority. According to the Spiral Dynamics model, this value system is often associated with traditional, religious, or military societies and is considered the fourth level of human development. People in blue vMeme are guided by strict codes of conduct, and they are conformist; they tend to be rule-bound and follow a strict hierarchy. They tend to be loyal to their group or organization and have a strong sense of duty and responsibility. They strongly believe in a moral code or laws handed down by a higher authority and tend to be very traditional, conservative, and religious. They have a strong sense of right and wrong and tend to be judgmental of others who do not conform to their beliefs.

SACRAL CHAKRA

Key Overview

The Sacral chakra, or Swadisthana, represents an energy of creativity, pleasure, sexuality, control and morality. It relates to our emotions, connecting us to inspiration and beauty. Located slightly below the belly button, this position corresponds directly with our reproductive organs, the testes and ovaries. It is responsible for producing sex hormones which in turn can have significant influence over our emotions.

Core Lessons

The core esoteric lessons of the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana) center focus around embracing fluidity, change, and pleasure as essential aspects of life and spiritual growth, moving beyond primal survival instincts to explore the "dwelling place of the self". 

Endocrine: Ovaries / Testes

Our ovaries and testicles are sources of creative energy, as well as creative life building blueprints. The energy flowing through this center is expressed in myriad potentials for creating — whether that’s creating new life, a new project, a new relationship, an adventure, etc. This is where the energy and resources for an experience can be gathered, shared, connected, and materialized. 

Element: Water

The "element of water" refers to the classical element, representing the liquid of life. Water's spiritual significance is profound and universal, symbolizing life, purity, renewal, healing, and transformation, connecting the physical and divine realms across cultures, religions, and traditions, serving as a conduit for prayer, a tool for cleansing rituals (like baptism or Wudu), and a metaphor for spiritual flow, intuition, and the powerful, adaptable life force itself. It represents divine provision, judgment, and the Holy Spirit, while also teaching resilience, balance, and the interconnectedness of all things. 

RED worldview embodies:

• Impulsive, initializing actions that stem from body-learning-style movement first, usually leading ahead of thought or emotion

• Experience before concept. Action oriented, explorative, questioning boundaries. Like a toddler or kid expanding reality through lived experience. (“You can be told, but until you’ve experienced it yourself, it won’t be real for you — ie. your nervous system activates the inner map at this level.”)

•Expression of individuality, non-conformity, freedom of expression, in the moment reactions, or effectiveness.

• Experiential, not conceptual; it dares to try something new or out of the box.

• Uncomplicated movement shaped by raw energy before being refined by responsibility or cultural shaping.

• Experimentation that redirects energy pathways. This can create the possibility of a new foundation, or simply disassemble the old in order for a new foundation to become possible.

• What comes with this are feelings and thoughts in the areas of: Power, Ambition, Goals, Focus, Seriousness, Strength.

PARKOUR

When the obstacle becomes the way — physical training to expand spatial movement.

ETHICAL HUNTING

• There are many people that to this day, choose to, or must, hunt to put food on the table. Some feel that taking animals themselves is a more ethical way to feed themselves and their family (eg. than purchasing from packaged factory farm meat at a distribution center or grocery store).

• Active engagement with local wildlife, in tune with, or response to, fluctuating population and migration habits — puts humans in greater balance within a larger contextual relationship with other species in the region’s ‘web of life’ (as opposed to mass extinction for trophy (ego not need) or non-native ideology imposition, both of which would be a disconnection from the direct relationship).

• Creative and valued use of all parts of an animal (healthy composting and reuse), including bones, sinew, hide, meat, and all. No waste, nothing devalued, ignored or misunderstood.

Cycle 2: YIN

BLUE worldview embodies:

• Organized sports and teams — like the Chicago Bulls

• Strong identity derived from dualistic sentiment or belief, such as ‘my team is better than yours’,

• Choosing sides — often based on strong moral or ethical beliefs or values

• Strong Traditional Cultural + Religious Beliefs — For example:

  > A Current Survey of What India’s Christians, Hindus, Muslims and More Think About Religion — Pew surveys 30,000 Indians across 6 faiths and 17 languages and finds support for tolerance yet also segregation.

PROSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE Perhaps she is less interested in the structural (expressed) differences and is more interested in the energetic (being) differences in where she lives and in the collective she is around? What must it feel like to be nurtured in a social setting where she can receive support for her independence and educational growth in daily life, without having to aggressively fight for or defend it? Perhaps her saying that she doesn’t have to have an opinion is in fact a statement on her claiming her own experience of the growth that’s natural for her path, rather than letting a structure dictate where she lives or how she experiences life. Perhaps once her emotional experience is digested and she feels rebalanced from the positives of this new place, she may have bandwidth to notice how the structural differences between where she came from and where she now lives do in fact inform how supported she is able to feel and how her independence in this way can be expressed naturally. She may simply not have words for it yet and that’s perfectly fine in this cycle. This is a healthy shift (as far as this limited example goes).

• A socio-political structure that is consistent, even if conservative, can be the next step for some to rebalance after an authoritarian-style regime

  > A woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo is living in Japan. Her family and social media followers inquire what she thinks and feels in regard to a general view that Japan in getting more conservative….

  In her view, the traditional values of Japan hold an educational and social structure that seems fairly inclusive, and a political structure that seems more consistent (even if conservative) (Blue) than the political (Red) authoritarian climate she came from, where she feels the politicians in some cases don’t even consult the people, or when they do, the direction they take does not seem to have the best interests of the people in mind or heart.

• Read more about his story here.

• His YANG was most likely RED—ORANGE, while his YIN was BLUE, in reflection of the collective consciousness of the times and groups he was working among.

• Described as a ‘kingpin of wall street’, here is how he become a banker, financier, robber baron, and hero. He helped shape modern Wall Street and played a lead role in guiding markets through the Panic of 1907. Additionally, he played an important part in forming companies like U.S. Steel and General Electric.

ORANGE worldview embodies:

• Impulsive, individuality, non-conformity, freedom of expression, effectiveness.

• Impulsive and uncomplicated expression of energy before being refined by responsibility or cultural shaping.

• Experimentation that redirects energy. This can create the possibility of a new foundation, or simply disassemble the old in order for a new foundation to become possible.

• Ambition, goal orientation, focus, seriousness, strength, power.

• Action oriented, explorative, questioning boundaries. Like a 2 year old expanding reality through experience.

• Experiential, not conceptual; it dares to try something new or out of the box.

• Immediate gratification

• Defensive action to ‘protect ownership’ / vs ‘othering’

• “Pride in the name of love”

• Authoritarian Regime Political Power

• Gangs, Kingpins, Mafia, Turf Wars, such as Motorcycle gangs

• Terrorism such as Hamas, the Taliban, and other extremist groups that perpetrate violence for belief

• Struggles with Power and Violence that stem from corrupted or impure motives or actions

• Communism, gone wrong, has consistently been associated with authoritarianism in practice, although in theory, the ultimate goal is a stateless and classless society. All modern states governed by communist parties have been characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms. 

• Integration at any subsequent phase (regardless of when or why it may arise) regarding developing and wielding power at this stage

• When sects of organized religion fall short of inclusion and expansion

• “The idea that religion and politics don’t mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christinas from running their own country.” - Rev Jerry Falwell

• “Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.” - Pat Robertson

• “God Bless America. And nowhere else.” - Chris Rock

• The "dark side" of Freemasonry typically refers to centuries-old accusations of secrecy, conspiracy, and anti-religious sentiment, as well as modern concerns about nepotism and lack of transparency in public life. Freemasonry is the subject of numerous historical controversies and conspiracy theories. 

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION STARTS WITH ACCEPTING NOT FIGHTING YOUR CURRENT EXPERIENTIAL STATE

FAITH + SCIENCE A CURRENT CROSSOVER

The Warrior always requires a challenge. The warrior seeks to command and explore. Views the world as unconquered territory. The warrior takes charge through an instinctive drive. They are drawn to professions that encourage activity and provide challenges.

Warriors express themselves through action, courage, and protection, striving to overcome challenges and achieve their goals with determination. Warriors embody a courageous and action-oriented nature. They possess a keen awareness of their immediate surroundings, enabling them to navigate through challenges with strength and decisiveness. Warriors excel in leading, protecting, and taking direct action, making them effective problem-solvers and natural leaders in times of crisis.

RED WORLDVIEW (Egocentric/Power)

The Red worldview is characterized by impulsive, self-centered behavior, a focus on power and dominance, and little concern for rules or others' feelings. The world is seen as a "jungle" where the strong survive. 

YANG

• Healthy: Healthy YANG Red sees itself as an initiator, leader and champion, fighting away the ‘bad’, while protecting the vulnerable or weak — which is often interpreted as the YIN to it’s YANG— or offering reliable support or strength where needed.

• Narcissist: This is the archetypal "unhealthy" Red YANG manifestation. The individual is overtly grandiose, seeking to dominate and control others through force or coercion. They act on immediate desires without guilt or remorse, viewing others as tools for personal gain or sources of admiration. This expression aligns perfectly with the core narcissistic traits of exploitation and lack of empathy, prioritizing "I" above all.

  YIN

• Healthy: Healthy YIN Red might see itself as vulnerable or in need of leadership, support, or strength, to be protected, rescued, saved, or championed by a warrior, leader, master, or savior — which is often interpreted as the YANG to it’s YIN.

• Empath: The concept of an "empath" as conventionally understood (highly sensitive to others' emotions) is less congruent with the core Red drive, which suppresses sensitivity in favor of strength and self-preservation. If empathy exists, it's likely a suppressed potential. An individual with an underlying capacity for empathy might struggle in a Red environment or might use an understanding of others' weaknesses as a way to survive and gain power (a more Machiavellian form of "empathy" rather than a compassionate one). A truly sensitive person at this stage could likely be seen as weak or easily exploited. 

BLUE WORLDVIEW (Absolutist/Order)

The Blue worldview sees the world through order, rules, duty, and adherence to a moral code or higher authority to create stability out of Red's chaos. Conformity and discipline are highly valued. 

• Narcissist at Blue: The narcissist in a Blue worldview uses the system's rules and hierarchy to gain status and control. Instead of overt dominance, they may become a rigid enforcer of the "moral code," using the rules to judge and control others while positioning themselves as righteous and infallible. Their sense of entitlement is masked by a belief they are operating on behalf of a higher power or the "correct" system, using this as justification for their actions and a way to demand admiration for their "duty" and "discipline".

• Empath at Blue: The empath at the Blue level channels their sensitivity into a strong sense of duty, service, and moral responsibility to their group or a higher power. They are highly concerned with fairness within the established rules and will work diligently to maintain the social order and care for their "in-group". Their empathy is constrained by the rigid Blue worldview, meaning they might struggle to feel compassion for those outside their group or who break the rules, as that would conflict with their strong belief in absolute laws and consequences.
