SX/SP doing SX "vulnerability" by physically transforming their bodies SO/SP turning themselves into a protest instrument" The body and its wellness as something to toy/experiment withĬutting and distorting the body for the purpose of a social message or sexual displayįocus on "group" identities that are concrete such as gender/race/nationality This is because it is neither an ignored blind spot nor an extremely important dominating focus in our lives as is the dominant. I'm calling it a playground or play area because we can be more flippant and exhibitionistic in this area. We are reactive to the issues of the 2nd instinct, but much less is "at stake" than with the dominant instinct. The area of the 2nd instinct acts as a "playground" of sorts in support of the first instinct. The instinctual focuses are expressed differently depending on the stacking. In order of approximate frequency in the population, they are as follows: SP/SO, SO/SP, SP/SX, SO/SX, SX/SP, and SX/SO. For example, “SP/SO stacking” refers to dominant SP, secondary SO, and SX blind spot. When labelling our stacking, we do not include the blind spot. It can also be something that suddenly overwhelms us in situations where our blindness to it becomes an issue. On the other hand, the blind spot can be something that we are good at in one small facet because it’s something we don’t worry about. If the more dominant instincts are experiencing some level of satiation momentarily, the blind spot is easier to integrate. Integrating this instinct can be as challenging as attempting to tame the dominant. This is the area that we feel isn’t crucial or important, and we generally try to meet the aims of this instinct using the strategies of the dominant and secondary instincts. It is the area that we ignore due to the polar pull of the dominant. The third instinct can be as problematic as the first but for a different reason. Nevertheless, this area can be reactive and problematic as well, as it is still an instinctual focus. The dominant and secondary instinct dually form the general focus of our lives. This is the instinct that causes us the least problems. This area is a place we might feel comfortable dipping our feet in without plunging into the deep end, as the dominant instinct pulls focus. In can work to either support or antagonize the dominant instinct, where most of our energy is spent. The second instinct in our stacking is one that we focus on, but the stakes feel lower when we react to those issues. The large majority of the population dominates with SP, as it is the most basic of survival needs. This instinct can either be SP, SX, or SO. Also, it just seems so obvious that this stuff is the most important, that it is difficult to imagine NOT focusing on it. People can sometimes think that their dominant instinct is their blind spot, because it can be difficult to observe our intrinsic behaviour as being separate from who we are. This is similar to the way we need oxygen desperately without being conscious of it or knowing how it works. This instinct is so powerful in us that we almost can’t see it. The first instinct in our stacking is the dominant one, or the one that we are most focused on. The “stacking” is referring to which instincts we focus on vs. We have and require all three drives, but we become over/less identified with specific ones. Now that the three instinctual drives have been introduced, it is time to look at how all three of them interact within us. Want help determining your instinct stacking?
