| Fear as default motivation – people act from avoidance of loss, punishment, or rejection. | The system feeds on scarcity and control; energy is extracted through anxiety. | Trust as baseline – decisions arise from coherence and internal alignment; abundance replaces scarcity. |
| Competition as identity – success measured by outperforming others. | Separation and comparison sustain energy hierarchies. | Collaboration as identity – success equals collective elevation; value expands by sharing. |
| Obedience to authority – deferring truth to external “experts,” bosses, or institutions. | The belief that power lies outside the self; creates fortress behaviour. | Self-authored authority – inner discernment and lived wisdom guide action; institutions become advisory, not directive. |
| Linear progress obsession – “growth” defined as faster, bigger, newer. | Fear of stillness; extraction loop disguised as advancement. | Spiral growth – expansion through cycles, reflection, regeneration. |
| Information hoarding – knowledge = leverage. | Control through asymmetry of awareness. | Transparent knowledge flow – data and insight circulate openly; credibility replaces secrecy. |
| Transactional relationships – energy exchange measured only in money or status. | Reduces life force to currency; disconnects empathy. | Relational reciprocity – exchange balanced by care, creativity, and shared purpose. |
| Defensive communication – debate, attack, justify. | Ego protection loop; language weaponised. | Integrative communication – dialogue aimed at synthesis and understanding. |
| Short-term gratification – instant results, dopamine loops. | Attention captured by novelty; depth lost. | Long-term resonance – value built through endurance and stewardship. |
| External validation – identity formed through feedback and approval. | Inversion of self-worth; manipulation easy. | Internal validation – quiet confidence from inner alignment; no external fuel needed. |
| Victim/perpetrator loops – blame and guilt as social glue. | Keeps polarity active; prevents responsibility. | Creator consciousness – response-ability replaces blame; each act is creative input. |
| Energy extraction economies – work as depletion. | Human energy used as battery for larger systems. | Regenerative economies – work refuels both creator and collective field. |
| Silencing intuition – reason dominates instinct and empathy. | Disconnect from source intelligence. | Integrated cognition – intuition + logic operate as one coherent system. |
