The modus operandi of the savior is to secure our position and access to shared power by ensuring that we are needed. It becomes a strategy rather than an attraction. An attraction based dynamic would be that we have so realized our gifts, we are so profoundly secured in our relationship with Eros, and the joy that emanates from offering all we have in service and the force that evolves us, that we live as a radiation of the joy of being in our purpose. There is an organic steadiness and optionality to who we are and how we can respond because our relationship with Eros stabilizes, directs, and powers us to make true offerings in the world. Others naturally heal in our radiation. When resentment enters to erode this aspect, it is cut off from the heat of Eros and is then reduced to the cold or fixed form of the rational. Because there is now no genuine offering, the rational mind must manufacture the appearance of value and being needed in both indirect and direct ways.
The savior as a product of the tumescent mind operates on scarcity fuel. It pumps up its value first by presenting as a scarce resource through withholding information or approval, pointing out faults, maintaining distance, and using power under the radar.
The primary tool of the savior is to be covert, to operate indirectly through others, keeping people unsure and off balance without intimacy. The primary expression is one of innocence.
Terrible things happen in the field and we, under the influence of the savior, have no idea why. When wonderful things happen for someone we see in the victim role, we act mystified in order to maintain a low standard of their capacity, which then reinforces their dependence on us.
Although we present as savior, there is always a dramatic reason as to why we are unable to show up in times of real duress, a reason that operates as a smokescreen for our agenda of getting what we want without having to be in connection. The best we can offer is an indignant stance that we have been wronged by others.
If however, they are seeing through our performance, we will flip to villain and say they deserved it, or victim and say we are in some way more harmed than others. It is a constant sleight of hand that always reveals one and only one thing, Erotic disconnection. This happens for both the one playing the role of savior and the one willing to engage with it.
It helps to remember both parties are playing with the idea something is wrong, always a signifier of the tumescent mind. The rescuer has two agendas: first, to get what we want under the radar so we can maintain the position of a martyr and second, to sabotage the work of others so we can arrive to save the day and get power without having to employ the Erotic mind of creation.
The rescuer lives in a constant state of strategy and calculation, but our intention appears so innocent that we could pass a polygraph test.
