Quadrant 1 in depth
Quadrant 1 is the seat of philosophy, the home of the heart. The heart is more than just a physical organ and it functions as a unique kind of “brain” with its own consciousness. Your heart is the very centre of who you really are. Coupled with the immense innate wisdom within you, it determines the questions you ask of life and the passion with which you deliver it. This, in turn determines what life gives you.
Quadrant 1 sees things as already whole, already complete. It has an ability to project an intent that allows people, places, circumstances and events to tumble into order according to its vision. We are living, breathing creative magnets and it is Quadrant 1 that gives a conduit for the magnet. This is the love of ideas and possibilities. We attract that which is in harmony with us and when our heart is open, gracious and grateful we draw to us the possibilities that we focus on. Nothing from the outside can take its place or give you the essence of what this Quadrant already knows.
The Quadrant 1 part loves to tell stories and use anecdotes and analogies. It shares personal feelings and opinions freely and prefers informal speech. This future-oriented part does not get caught up in time, so is very flexible in this regard. Digressing from conversations is a common trait. When the Quadrant 1 speaks it relies on a variety of tonal shifts with lots of inflections, talking fast with rather high volume. Quadrant 1 likes to express itself with its physiology as well as its words. Animated facial expressions with lots of hand and body movement, including spontaneous touching, typify this animated Quadrant 1 expression.
Strategic thinking happens here and the ideas flow fast and furiously. There are very few filters for the Quadrant 1 when it is on a roll. This area loves brainstorming sessions and it searches for patterns rather than focusing on the details. It thrives on inventing and anticipating future events and issues, and with great imagination will create alternative scenarios while at the same time quite irreverently tear down old structures, customs and limitations. The Quadrant 1 loves to actively discuss things and will argue any point at length as it drags up many obscure viewpoints. Quadrant 1’s theme is “trust me, it will work out”. This part provides inspiration and is encouraged by applause and recognition. As the eternal optimist, this Quadrant will get your heart pounding with possibilities.
