INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE

Goodness Within

Those who are illumined within find satisfaction within the Self alone. They know thart they are eternal spiritual beings, and that this life is temporary and illusory. There only worldly interest is to share this knowledge with others. Saints, spiritual or political leaders who are not atttached to worldly pleasure, psychics or healers who use their power to spread faith and wisdom, etc. are stongly attracted by the Mode of Goodness.

SELF ABSORPTION IN THE MODE OF PASSION

Influenced by the mode of passion, a person with developed intrapersonal ability may use his/her insight to create a lucritive profession through sharing his insight with others. Sincere therapists, faith hearlers, psychics, etc. who are stongly in the mode of Passion are drawn to help others enjoy this temporary material world. Since the three Modes of Nature are usually mixed, they may also direct people towards spiritual realization (Goodness) or try to exploit others (Ignorance); but the influence of the Mode of Passion is to find temporary happiness and pleasure.

Darkness Within
