YOU ARE THE

Shadow Code of Tactics

PRECISION • INDEPENDENT • PRACTICAL

You trust what you see not what people say.

You have a naturally analytical mind that watches how things move, respond, and react. You study life by observing it up close. You seek understanding through direct interaction, not theory or assumptions. You trust what can be demonstrated, tested, and proven to work in real conditions. When other people's emotions become to much, you can pull back, not out of coldness, but to make sense of what’s happening without being overwhelmed. You move at your own pace, steady and precise. Much of your life has been learning that connection doesn’t have to mean losing clarity. Beneath your independence lives a quiet loyalty that shows itself through action, not words.

your SUPER POWER

You turn complexity into structure. You bring logic and calm to chaos, solving problems others can’t see, restoring order through grounded insight and practical, steady precision.

the EGO

You can cling to being the one who knows best, shutting out emotion or help. Control replaces curiosity, and isolation becomes safer than being misunderstood or needing others.

Detangling your Shadow Code means trusting connection as much as logic, letting curiosity soften control so presence becomes strength, not protection.

Your Code Breakdown

THE CHANNEL OF CLARITY

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: THE HERO

• Your leading most dominant channel

• Moves with confidence and effortless energy

• Forms a large part of your ego

• Can become inflated when challenged

The Hero channel is where you instinctively lead from, carrying a familiar sense of strength, direction, and capability. It gives you confidence to engage and persevere through whatever life brings. Because it feels flawless, you may turn to it automatically and defend it strongly.

When it feels challenged, you might rush to protect its value or seek recognition for what it contributes. When overidentified with, the Hero can create a superiority complex, pushing you to assume you are always correct. Growth comes from recognizing its limits and allowing other channels to contribute.

HERO COGNITIVE FUNCTION:

INTROVERTED THINKING: Builds internal frameworks that bring precision, clarity, and logical coherence to how things work.

HERO SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE SMALL INTESTINE RESERVE

• Clarity • Insight • Discernment • Panic/overwhelm

OVERVIEW:

As The Hero channel, Introverted Thinking builds clear mental frameworks to understand how things work. It analyzes, troubleshoots, and improves ideas one piece at a time, checking logic against personal understanding rather than external rules. This channel spots flaws quickly and speaks truth directly.

A replenished Small Intestine reserve sorts the pure from the impure, clarifying mind - body signals so discernment stays focused, decisive, and unconstrained by scattered emotion.

THE CHANNEL OF NOW

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: THE PARENT

• Guides, supports, and contributes

• Motivated by service, growth, and care

• Forms part of your ego

• Can become overprotective or intrusive

The Parent channel offers wisdom, guidance, and nurturing energy. It shows up when you feel responsible for helping others grow or when you sense someone needs support. This channel doesn’t seek admiration; it wants to know it made a meaningful difference. As the co-pilot to your Hero, it steadies your dominant energy and brings balance to how you engage the world.

If the Hero moves outward, the Parent grounds you inward; if the Hero turns inward, the Parent helps you connect and express outwardly. When overidentified with, it can become patronizing or limiting to others’ independence.

PARENT COGNITIVE FUNCTION

EXTROVERTED SENSING: Engages directly with the environment, responding instinctively to what is real and alive right now.

PARENT SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE STOMECH RESERVE

• Nourishment • Satisfaction • Grounded • Depletion

OVERVIEW:

As The Parent channel, Extraverted Sensing guides others through hands-on involvement, modelling procedures, and adapting smoothly to whatever the moment presents. It immerses fully in physical tasks, noticing fine sensory details such as colour, texture, and shape, and repurposing tools creatively. You care for environments so others can enjoy life and act confidently.

A replenished Stomach reserve prevents overdoing, settling tummy tension and impatience while transforming pressure into grounded, tangible support.

THE CHANNEL OF PATTERNS

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: THE CHILD

• Seeks reassurance and attention

• Wants to please but is unreliable

• Forms part of your ego

• Can throw tantrums under stress

The Child channel holds innocence, imagination, and a desire to be seen. It brings fun, curiosity, and creative ideas into your system, often in unexpected ways. Because it feels tender, you may overestimate its maturity or promise more than you can deliver. When this channel feels unseen or dismissed, disappointment or emotional reactions can surface quickly.

This channel works opposite your Parent Channel to maintain internal balance. If your Parent moves outward, the Child draws energy inward to rest and replenish. If your Parent turns inward, the Child directs energy outward to re-engage with life.

CHILD COGNITIVE FUNCTION:

INTROVERTED INTUITION: Interprets symbols and subconscious patterns to reveal deeper meaning and foresight for what is unfolding.

CHILD SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE KIDNEY RESERVE

• Willpower • Depth • Dread • Paranoia

OVERVIEW:

As The Child channel, Introverted Intuition travels through meaning with curious wonder, searching for patterns, symbols, and imagined outcomes. It enjoys downtime to reflect and may glimpse which projects or people will bear fruit. Yet it can toggle between grim forecasts and grandiose visions, feeling unsure how to bring them to life.

A replenished Kidney reserve steadies existential fear, grounding inner images into quiet confidence rather than fixation or withdrawal.

THE CHANNEL OF CONNECTION

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: SHADOW DOOR

• Sits on border of your conscious awareness

• Acts as a bridge into the unconscious

• Activates under stress and feels difficult to control

• Is your most potent channel for transformation

Your Shadow Door Channel sits at the edge of consciousness. It is your weakest channel while simultaneously holding the most transformative potential. Under extreme stress, this channel can mute your Hero Channel and take over your code, allowing shadow complexes to surface and creating “was that really me?” moments.

You may find yourself drawn toward people who are strong in this channel, or experiences that require its use. However, this pull can swing between over-idealisation of those who excel here and judgment toward them, creating tension until balance is restored. At times, its influence can feel alluring, leading you to overestimate your skill with it.

SHADOW DOOR COGNITIVE FUNCTION

EXTROVERTED FEELING: Creates emotional understanding and shared harmony to foster connection and collective wellbeing.

SHADOW DOOR SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE HEART RESERVE

• Joy • Love • Compassion • Vulnerability

OVERVIEW:

As the Shadow Door channel, Extraverted Feeling retreats when emotional exchange feels too heavy or uncertain. It may withdraw, numb warmth, or overanalyze tone and intent, fearing rejection or missteps. In this state, it can respond in an overly emotional-logical manner. Connection begins to feel performative, creating quiet shame or isolation even while longing to belong.

A replenished Heart reserve restores steady warmth and self-trust, soothing social tension and reopening ease in genuine human contact.

The Art of Detangling

Your Code

When you first meet your Shadow Code, it can feel like holding a LARGE knotted ball of string.

All your channels tangled together, nothing quite making sense.

You might wonder if you have the time or energy to untangle it. But as you begin on one small knot, things start to loosen. The channels become clearer, the body unwinds, emotions release, and your somatic reserves replenish.

Some knots tighten before they release, yet each one you untangle brings you deeper into yourself. This is the lifelong journey of detangling, the slow intimate descent back to self.

To know self is to have journeyed through the detangling, to have met the knots, the tension, and the resistance, and stayed. It’s not about awakening or reaching higher states, but about finding quiet joy in the slow unraveling, the peace that comes when nothing needs fixing, only understanding.
