Head Center
Defined vs. Undefined Head Center
✦ Defined Head Center
When the Head Center is defined, you have a consistent source of mental pressure and inspiration. Specific questions are fixed in your mind — you are reliably drawn to investigate certain mysteries, contemplate particular puzzles, and generate inspiration along consistent themes. This is your contribution: a steady fountain of questions and contemplation that can inspire others. You do not need to resolve every question; the pressure itself is your energy.
◌ Undefined / Open Head Center
With an undefined or open Head Center, you are not under consistent mental pressure. You are a receiver — you take in the inspirations, questions, and mental pressures of others and amplify them. The not-self strategy here is being pulled into trying to answer questions that are not yours to answer, feeling responsible for resolving mental pressure that enters you from the outside. This is not your pressure. You have the gift of contemplating many different questions without being fixated on any one of them.
Not-Self Questions
These questions help you recognize when the open/undefined Head Center is conditioning your decisions:
- Am I trying to answer questions that are not mine?
- Am I under pressure to resolve inspiration that is not coming from within me?
- Am I allowing others' mental pressure to drive my decisions?
