Episode notes
Sixth Function Mirrors Your Co-Pilot
- The sixth function is the shadow mirror of your auxiliary (co-pilot) function and often operates unconsciously in relationships and career.
- Flipping your auxiliary's attitude reveals the sixth function and explains why it naturally supports external tasks and people interactions.
Witch/Senex Archetype Frames The Sixth
- John Beebe's eight-function model assigns archetypal energies to each function, and the sixth function carries the witch/senex archetype.
- That archetype frames the sixth function as an elder, boundary-setting, critical authority that shows up especially in relating-to-others contexts.
Own Triggers To Integrate Shadow
- When shadow material triggers you, name it and own it instead of projecting it outward.
- Turn that awareness into integration by observing how the sixth function actually operates in your career and relationships.
