The universe operates according to a set of laws which are self-regulating and ensure balance. Through these laws comes the certitude that each of us has an essential nature which is real, intrinsically good, and intentional / deliberate (and through this understanding this comes faith, a conviction in nature’s empowering balance).
The inevitable disillusionment with this idea during childhood results in an overcompensatory attempt to feel the conviction of these laws, resulting in over-questioning and a marked need for certainty characterized by fear. Fear is caused by lack of conviction about who or what to trust, as well as a lack of certitude in the self and its circumstances. Sixes test the world by seeing how it holds up in the face of theories, challenges, and questioning until they feel they have come into contact with the laws of balance.
The affective components of fear include, but are not limited to: worry, suspicion, doubt, skepticism, need for caution, perceiving things which aren’t actually happening. Fear’s volition presses to find clarity in a sea of confusion by testing potential allies.
The fixation becomes, then, an orientation to authority and ideals, appeals to the external for the sake of protection. The trap leading to this fixation is security, seeking a safe place in the face of impending disaster. This includes having a go-to, predicting potential threats, as well as having backup plans if things fall through. Their attention turns to finding the laws which would allow them to have true faith.
