Season 34 Octagram, what is Octagram? Presented by Chris Taylor, AKA Raka.
Transcript:
Welcome to the CSS podcast I’m your host for this season Chris Taylor also known as Rocca, this is going to be season 34. And this is going to be a deep dive into everything octave Graham. So first and foremost, what is Octa gram octa core Graham is the natural impact, or the natural effect on a person’s type through the four sides of the mind with temporal influence involved. So there’s a deeper understanding of shadow development or subconscious development, Shadow focus or subconscious focus.
Those of you that were waiting for season 33 For so as long as you guys have been. This is why welcome to the season. That is the reason why that has been delayed for as long as it has. Back when we started to do season 33 We’re just getting into our understanding of what temples were as a whole.
And as we kind of uncovered more and more, we realized that you really can’t have a great season 33 cognitive growth tracking. Without understanding the temporal influence side of things and understanding better than nurture, that comes with integrating the four sides of the mind as far as the temples are concerned. Now, to give everybody a refresher course that may be seeing this for the first time, or maybe you’re fully caught up on all the information in journeyman what is what are the temples. So, before we had the temples, we still had four sides of the mind developed, we still had a concept of you could be subconscious developed or shadow developed.
And at the time, what we understood that as was being more in tune with that side of the mind from a pure function standpoint. And while that isn’t less true today, now that we have the temples, it’s a far greater understanding. So what are they? Well, we started to take a look at okay, we have these four types that always share the four the same four sides of the mind, we have four sets of those. If they’re all sharing the same four sides of the mind, like ENFP, ISTJ, ESTP INFJ, then there has to be commonalities that all of these share a creed or a general philosophy that these types tend to follow.
More so than the other types just by virtue of having the same shared four sides of the mind. And from there, the temples were kind of birthed. After a lot of studying, and after a lot of looking into the types that we understood, to be there types, we started to see a pattern emerge between each of these, what we later called temples. These temples were called that because they are general philosophies of what each of these types kind of almost worship from a standpoint of a philosophy.
So for example, the Affer mentioned types, the ENFP, ISTJ, ESTP, and INFJ. All showed a really high focus on character on almost a spiritual who somebody is at the end of the day. And that’s where we ended up with the soul temple. And we can get into kind of the components of like, how each origin, which we’ll get into here shortly goes into that overarching theme of the temple, but in a short sweet to put a bow on it.
The temples are a thematic understanding of these four types sharing one space. At the same time, these temples are all four core components of what it is to have the human experience means you have a soul, a sense of identity, who people are who you are. You have a mind and ability to learn and understand and wield knowledge. You have a heart, you have passion, the fire of desire to improve, and you have a focus on legacy, what you leave behind for the next, who in your life will remember you.
For some types, these different core components become more important at different phases of life. And that’s another kind of pattern of understanding when it comes to humans, depending on which temple you’re you are, depending on whether you’re focused or developed into another one of these temples that are influencing your temple is going to determine to a to a degree which one of these four core tenets of the human experience is most relevant to you at what point in time. Now, from these temples, we realize that okay, well, in each temple, there are two Cuadras. Right? So temple, for example, is Templars and philosophers, right.
And so it’s mine temple. So when you end up with temple meeting, quadra, you end up with these dyads. In other words, a dyad is just an ENFP, and an ISTJ, subconscious variants of each other. So all of these subconscious pairings are what we’re referring to as diets.
And so they exist within the same temple, but they also share the same functions. Because of this, they end up having the same origins. Now, these origins are at the end of the day, this root thing that this craving, so to speak, a need in the sight of the mind that when we were first looking at it, we saw as a superseding type. What we realized is that these origins are coming through via the hero function.
And as we get more information out there, you guys will get more and more chances to have a deeper understanding of how these origins actually attached to every single function. Because there is an origin function stack. But at the end of the day, you have ENFPs ISTJ, as both of those origins are looking at justification, as an example, how is this all relevant to Archigram. So at the center here, you have your origin right.
Now, going back to what we were talking about, about how every human being encompasses an aspect of each temple, what we realized is that, well, somebody can’t exit their temple fully. Obviously, you’re still within the four sides of your mind, no matter how you try to transition, you still have that same structure in place, so you’re never leaving the temple. But we know for a fact that humans are incorporating these other aspects of these other temples as well. What we started to realize is that these other temples were having influence on the different sides of the mind.
So no matter where you’re transitioning, if you are a soul temple, your the mind Temple is influencing your subconscious. So the difference between an ISTJ ego and an ENFP aspiring to be an ISTJ is that ISTJ side is going to be far more focused on education. Far more focused on information, knowledge, power, things of that nature. Whereas the ISTJ if they’re shadow focused, for example, or they’re not subconscious focused, they’re going to their ego is going to be more soul temple.
So it’s an iOS TJ that is soul temple. And then their shadow is flavored by the heart, Temple, so on and so forth. And so when we’re going through and looking at all these things together, we started to realize where the placement of all of these temples were, and how these other temples were, which side of the mind they were influencing. For example, the living virtue of any origin is attached to the ego Temple itself.
It is what the temple itself is trying to aspire to be. It’s what it claims to be. And so with that, you have the ego temple influencing that pole. If you have any kind of temporal or thematic creed, or anything like that, there are going to be things that are the peak of what this is this idea or philosophy is trying to do.
And that’s what the living virtue is trying to be. For the justification types, my types, absolution, oh, well, you can be absolved of your guilt. Because it’s part of character development, it’s part of your growth, it’s part of who it is who you are. And so, as you see soul temple, who you are, is influencing that.
That temple, right, it’s influencing itself, it is involved in itself. That is attached to subconscious focus. On the other side, we have the deadly sin. And for my type, it’s wrath.
Right. And wrath is kind of the opposite and in a way to absolution. It is punitive it is you are going to suffer because of X, Y or Z. It’s going from Yeah, mistakes happen.
It’s fine. It’s part of growth to screw you for those mistakes, oftentimes, because they impacted either the ENFP or ISTJ. Personally indirectly. And so that absolution goes out the window.
And just like the ego to the super ego, where they’re vying for control. So two, these focuses are vying for control. And so two is the super ego temple, trying to supersede the ego temple. So in the soul temples case, this is the body temple, wrath being a physical destruction of property or someone or leaving a lasting scar that the person can never forget.
leaving a mark on their legacy. On the other side, we have the development now for the, for my temple, the shadow development pole would be the Shadow Temple influence. And for my type that ends up being favoritism, which is a change, we did have discrimination there. What we realized is it’s closer to being favoritism.
We’ll get into that with time. But favoritism, heart temple influence, right, for my time, essentially, being closer to that heart temple, there are going to be things or people that I am more specifically passionate about, that I’m showing favor to. On the other side, we have the sub development, that is the sub temporal influence for my temple that would be the Mayan temple influence. And that’s impartiality.
So, as you see here, each one of these origins are going to have are the ways that we’re trying to fulfill the need of the apex of our mind first and foremost. It is at the end of the day, the core desire, so to speak, of each of these dyads whether ENFP or ISTJ. The origin remains the same. One is external with it one On his internal with him.
And so this is what the autograph essentially unravels to be. It is a study of people’s nurture from a thematic standpoint of the temples. And a explanation of one of the most innate desires to us since the hero function is one of the first functions to develop in a person’s psyche. This is how these poles, as they’re called, are how every aspect of humanity exists within a person from a thematic standpoint.
As we go on, we’ll talk more about what the development is, what the influence are, what the development and the focus are. We’ll go more in depth in in the next episodes. And then after that, we’re going to be going into each of the 16 types. or, excuse me, each of the eight dyads if you have any questions about this, other than when a season 33 coming back, give it time, we got to get through this stuff.
First. There’s a few things we have to do to get everybody caught up to speed because we can’t have a season 33 Without understanding off the ground. From there, we’re going to be going into I’m going to be producing a video that outlines and catches everybody up all the way from cognitive functions all the way up to the temples themselves. And then obviously this season carries on from there.
Once we get everybody caught up to speed, we can start going back into season 33. And looking at now that the dust with temples is starting to settle we can actually get back to cognitive growth wracking. But few seasons to go through a few things to get out of the way first, if you have any questions, leave them down in the comments. You can always reach me on Discord like the video subscribe.
Get on the discord. Make sure you’re there. There’s a lot of good resources on there. You can always reach me there you can always reach me here on the comments as well.
Anyway guys, I’ll catch you guys in the next episode. These episodes are probably going to be a lot beefier than this 15 minute intro but I just wanted to get everybody’s understanding up to snuff. On on this
