NORMAL WIDGETS
In a normal brain process Ant and Bee look out for patterns and details of the task. Let’s say we are in a relationship and trying to get near to the other person. Ant and Bee looks at the present situation and tells us what is out there. Macho scans what they see looking for danger. If Cuddles then has a good feeling about it and gives the ok to plan what to do, Geru then gives directions or rules of what to do, then Rabbit, with help of patient cuddles, proceeds in the right direction after Conscious Choice says to act.
A DOMINANT WIDGET WILL CHANGE A PERSON’S ACTIONS AND EVEN PERSONALITY AND RELATIONSHIP
Let’s say Ant and Bee are dominant. Now they no longer look to things in the task intended but instead get distracted to other patterns and details as they are, “squirrel.”
Macho is now leery because there may be danger ahead but he can’t see enough to tell.
Now Cuddles has reservations about proceeding as it may not be safe.
Geru can’t see so he has to guess, but is not assured.
At this point Turtle tells Rabbit to pause and wait for better assessments.
Consciousness no longer knows what to do so all is slowed down. The personality now is more like a Nurd, a person who is hesitant about getting close to another as they are more concerned with patterns and detail, about perhaps a video game, than in getting near to their partner.
When any particular widget is dominant it changes the dynamics between all of the widgets. The other widgets do not have as much power and may only augment to the dominant one.
OTHER CONSEQUENCES OF A DOMINANT ANT AND BEE
If Perception, Ant and Bee, is dominant it may be the main focus of the person’s attentions leaving the rest of the widgets more dormant, such as a scientist who categories insects or precious stones. In a relationship some people may be more observant and listen better, or may be distracted.
If there is a second dominant widget, but not as dominant as the first, it may guide the perceptions of Ant and Bee in it’s direction. If the second one is Macho, fear, the person may be hyper-vigilant always looking out for danger in the relationship. If the Lower Nature, Raccoon, selfish, is second the person may find things and situations that give them excuses to lie, such as a pathological liar.
If the second one is love, Cuddles, the person may be looking a more and more for love. In the Lower Nature it would be a person always looking for selfish advantages.
If it’s wisdom, Geru, they may look for wise situations to enjoy with their partner. Others may want to see universal principles in all they see, like a sociologist or psychologist. If it’s the Lower Nature, blaming Crow, they may be looking for conspiracy theories, and make their partner out to be the villain.
If the second one is patience Turtle, they may look for situations that allow patience, such as quiet situations with no chaos.
If the second one is energy, Rabbit, they may look for fun activities. If it’s the Lower Nature, Coyote, they may look for fights.
The third strongest widget may modify even more, and so it goes on in different combinations. This is why we all are unique and different. Personality disorders are called disorders when the combinations of dominant and submissive widgets disorder our lives.
WHEN CROW OR THE LOWER NATURE IS DOMINANT IN RELATIONSHIPS
If the Lower Nature experiences trauma, especially if children are abused in childhood, the Lower Nature will continue to create a storm of emotions and commandeer the Upper Nature. The Lower Nature is faster to save us from dangers, but if it sees danger that is not there, but only memory from the past or unconscious memory, then the conflict is on. In a relationship this can cause innumerable conflicts, even over little petty stuff.
Let’s look at Crow being dominant and Macho second. Crow loves conspiracy theories or fictitious stories. Macho fear can alert the Lower Nature into action.
This puts Ant and Bee in danger of being replaced by Spidie’s web of deceptive lies as they fall off the Upper Natures sinking ship.
In the above picture Raccoon is scaring Macho, who is being pulled by Dragon to his subconscious submarine, into past fears.
Crow is also stopping Geru from flying up and getting the bigger picture. So Crow’s conspiracy ideas abound.
Coyote has chased Rabbit and Turtle to the Submarine to help in creating havoc.
And Dragon has control of Consciousness to join in the conflicts that might come.
If fear had been smaller, and love larger, Crow may not have been able to grow so large and the person would of stayed in the Upper Nature and though things over more before acting.
No matter what the weather, the upper nature fairs better, it makes up 85% or more of the brain. Even in chaos and havoc the person in their Upper Nature can feel calm and can share their views to meet their destination. The Lower Nature is there beside the Upper Nature if it is really needed. The Upper Nature can not only give the Lower Nature free rein if but help it with clearer perception, better ethics, more knowledge of what to do, and add energy and skill to the effort. Soldiers with their heads clear do a better more precise job.
GERU DOMINATES
When Geru Dominates and love has to hang on and fear is drowning, as in the above picture, it’s very similar to Crow dominating. Geru is not listening to Ant and Bee, so no reality, and Crow tends to grow and the Lower Nature has a better change of taking over. Turtle and Rabbit have no where to go but to the Lower Nature as Crow will be blaming others. And Geru can easily drift to the unfeeling cold emotions of the Lower Nature. We call these types of people cold hearted intellectuals. If raised right the other widgets have more say and the intellectual may be more congenial.
CUDDLES DOMINATES
If Cuddles dominates and does not listen to Geru, it is very similar to Crow dominating. Everyone’s advice of the dangers of the other person in the relationship is ignored, and if they are not on the up and up, then it’s easy for love to go astray. Free Consciousess, Free Will, will sink into the watery storm of emotions, and unable to guide love. But if a person is raised right to remain in their Upper Nature, the other widgets do not loose their influence and can love can stay on the right track and not be love dependent.
RABBIT DOMINATES
If Rabbit dominates, the boat will speed too fast. Ant, Bee, and Cuddles will have to hang on for dear life. Macho fear has to go along with the joy ride, as selfish Raccoon takes over. Geru will not be able to see the bigger picture and so there may be an accident, if there is an accident Crow will blame the other person. Patient Turtle can do little. Dragon will not help Conscious choice but shove consciousness further down into the sea of emotions.
TURTLE DOMINATES
If Turtle dominates it seems like a normal relationship. But because all the Upper Nature widgets are subdued and can’t do anything, the Lower Nature of the other person gets frustrated and tensions rise. Then the Lower Natures of both partners are there to jump in to defend themselves. Both are just waiting to fight.
SPIEDIE DOMINATES
If Spiedie dominates then all the Upper Nature Widgets and Conscious choice are blindfolded, deceived. Ant and Bee are immobilized, Macho has no idea what to fear, Cuddles is going to love fantasy rather that reality, Rabbit does not know what to do that works, and Turtle may just shut down. The Lower Nature is just waiting to gather in all the widgets when they are frustrated with unreality. The fight is on.
RACCOON DOMINATES
If Raccoon dominates it is very much like Crow dominating only the fantasy is based around their selfish life, no love for others, just for self. The other person is going to be very frustrated so the selfish person’s Lower Nature is ready for the fight if problems arise.
COYOTE DOMINATES
If Coyote dominates the fight will be on. Coyote will play down fear, especially fear of hurting the other person in the relationship. Also Coyote subdues Conscious choice in the Upper Nature so Dragon in the Lower Nation will have a quick and easy decision to use Domestic Violence if necessary.
MAKE DOMINANT WIDGETS SAFE
Building our selves up strong and functional is not just about which widget is dominant, but the combination. The best combinations have Ant and Bee see the real situations, Cuddles and Geru strong and able to love wisely, and fear strong enough to feel dangers and alert the Lower Nature incase they are needed. Love without wisdom is blind and can be taken advantage of. Knowledge without love can be dangerous, Love and Empathy is your guide to how to get along with others and wisdom will keep you both safe. Then you can network with in relationships; family, friends, the community, and at work. That opens up lots of opportunities and help. And when all the Upper Nature widgets are stronger than average and balanced, the world belongs to you.
