Intention
Part of the Four Patterns from Institute for Zen Leadership, Visionary (In Elemental FEBI®, it is also known as Air) energy expands one’s awareness beyond their immediate context, attracting the future.
Experience
External
You perceive what others cannot, acting beyond the immediate.
Internal
Visionary is born of the subconscious, feeling like air. Postively trending, you can both see the idea in your mind and form it into reality. Negatively trending, one gets stuck in the mind and avoids reality.
Collective
Visionary brings unity of action through collective meaning. Postively trending, purpose acts as a point of unity. Negatively trending, people chase a dream that will never come to fruition, a delusion.
Meta Compass Directions
- Flowing + Postively Trending: Opens into clear intuition that illuminates possibility without losing grounding.
- Flowing + Negatively Trending: Expands into ungrounded fantasy, projection, or anxiety-driven storymaking.
- Stagnant + Postively Trending: Reaches for insight but disperses into fog, abstraction, or indecision.
- Stagnant + Negatively Trending: Contracts into dissociation, escapism, or anxious inner spirals detached from reality.
You should let thought flow thorugh you, accepting what makes sense and letting the rest pass through.
Implementation
Practicing Visionary is attracting the future while being present Now.
Implementing Our Principles
Release tension by taking One Breath, and allow the Driver and Collaborator energy to blend in. Perceive things as they are, not as you want them to be, and feel where they want to go. Then act. Sense, not fantasize. Learn from fear, do not let it rule you. Let the future flow forth from resonance.
In Conversation
In conversation, Visionary changes one’s perception of reality:
- Mirror back key words in an conversation to explore important points further
- Being silent after you say something holds space for the future to arrive
- A soft, inviting Tone lures in possibility.
When mature, Visionary is embodied through execution.
