You know the Seeker is calling when you feel alienated, dissatisfied, empty, or when you sense a new opportunity knocking and want things to be better than they are.

You can hear the Seeker when you hear an inner voice telling you that your life could be different or that you can make a difference in your family, your company or in the world. Seeking often has to do with a search for meaning.

Progress:

I love adventure movies, such as Indiana Jones and Into the Wild.

Sometimes I feel trapped.

If I made a change, it would be good for me.

Why do I so often feel dissatisfied?

I yearn to test my own limits.

Restlessness can be such a motivator for me.

Shadow Creating alienation so people can’t find a way in because you become too self-involved. The picture of satisfaction, of peace, of wholeness is so depraved it involves hurting others. The Seeker hurts others in the journey–discovering America.
