LESSON P10 / 13 OF 20

Understanding the five groups

Ten Gods come in five pairs. Five is easier to hold than ten, and enough.

Original app lesson · freely available here

Five groups, each covering part of life
Companions · peers and rivalsMany: head-on clashes · Few: self-reliant but lonely
Output · making and expressingMany: expressive but drained · Few: thinks more than makes
Wealth · resources you commandMany: lots of chances, distracted · Few: rarely reaches for resources
Officer · duty and pressureMany: no breathing room · Few: dislikes being managed
Resource · support and learningMany: steady but less driven · Few: relies on oneself

Every group has two sides. None of them means good luck.

01

The five groups

Companions = peers and competition. Output = what you make and express. Wealth = resources you command.

Officers = duty and pressure. Resource = support and learning. Those five cover most of a life.

02

Too much, too little

Many companions: partners and rivals, head-on friction. Few: self-reliant but alone. Much output: expressive, draining, friction with rules.

Much wealth: chances but distraction. Much officer: duty and no breathing room. Much resource: steady but passive. Each has two faces.

03

Applying it

Count which group is most and least present. The largest is your default; the smallest is usually what to practise.

Much resource and little output: reads a lot, makes little. The practice is making, not reading more.

Five groups suffice: peers, output, resources, duty, support. The largest is your default; the smallest is your homework.
