The Harmonist
Intro
The Harmonist works to see all Hands are working together, attuning the internal and external worlds through action. She’s a gestalt thinker, and integrates what can seem like a cacophony of callings.
Modus operandi:
Harmonize the actions of all the FARM Hands
Harmonize the multiple versions of ourselves that otherwise pull us in opposite
Harmonize our callings and our professions
appeal to the value of harmony (particular cultures and personalities)
1, 2, & 3 overlap. Since in a sense, the FARMhands represent different aspects of ourselves, so they are coordinating them and those multiple versions of ourselves have different, even conflicting values, inclinations, etc.
Favorite--or "go-to" tools: tool(s) TBD, though
Strengths & Weaknesses (including a “kryptonite”):
Her strength is holding the FARM Team together; she’s the linchpin. She can smooth conflicts between above and lessen our regret.
Her blind spot is not seeing how conflict can be creative and productive, such as “thesis + antithesis = synthesis”, the dialectic of Western thought. Premature and/or enforced harmony drives the conflict deeper; as with an infection, it’ll be worse in the long run.
Over time, she realizes she needn’t conflate the means with the end. The end can still be harmonic, though we need to go through some conflict to get there.
Gadgets/Tech:
Power limitations:
"Hand in Hand" w/: (works most / best with other FARMhands):
With the Heuristician, she develops a rule of thumb: Make choice that long term will leave you more equanimous (calmer and peaceful). Peace of mind is the precursor to happiness. Happiness cannot be pursued directly; it must ensue.
