LOSER - Entities with a loser theme are extremely negative, though unlike those with fallibility as a theme, they are born without handicaps. Often they have many good points, but choose to ignore them. Although their theme may resemble that of the irritant in the proclivity for constant criticism, they are different in that they invariably place the blame back on "poor me." These entities are prime martyrs, moving from one elaborate soap opera to another. By observing this theme in action, we determine to be more positive. It is important that we not judge the people who have this theme, remembering that their patterns were chosen to enable us to perfect ourselves.
MANIPULATOR - This is one of the most powerful themes, for manipulators are easily able to control situations as well as people. By viewing people and situations as a chessboard, those with a manipulator theme can move people and circumstance to their advantage, as though they were pawns. President Franklin Roosevelt was a prime example of a manipulator in action. When such a person works for the good of others, this theme is elevated to its highest purpose. When the theme is misused, the ultimate goal of perfection takes a long time to achieve.
PASSIVITY - Surprisingly, entities with a passivity theme are actually active - but about nothing. Although they will at times take stands on issues, it is always in a nonviolent manner. Although any extreme is hurtful to the individual, some tension may be needed in order to bring about the perfection of the soul.
PATIENCE - The patience theme is clearly one of the most difficult paths to perfection. Those with this theme seem to desire a more rapid attainment of perfection than entities with less challenging themes. Often, they carry great amounts of guilt when they feel that they have strayed from their goal and become impatient. This attitude can lead to self-abasement and, sometimes, to suppressed anger. These entities must be lenient with themselves, for living through the circumstances they have chosen to express this theme is difficult enough.
PAWN - The biblical Judas was the classic example of this theme. Whether the means is negative or positive, pawns trigger something of great magnitude into being. We cannot evolve toward universal perfection without the pawn, but those entities who select this theme should preserve their dignity by only picking worthy causes.
PEACEMAKER - Entities who select the theme of peacemaker are not as pacific as the name implies. Peacemakers are actually pushy in their desire for and pursuit of peace. They work endlessly to stop violence and war, addressing a larger audience than those who've opted for harmony as a theme. Their goal of peace far exceeds an allegiance to one particular group or country.
PERFORMANCE - Those with a performance theme find it highly rewarding but frequently exhausting. These entities are the true "party animals". Some will go into actual entertainment careers, but other will simply be content to entertain in their homes or offices. The challenge here is for those with performance as a theme to combat burnout by looking within, thus acquiring the ability to nourish and "entertain" themselves.
PERSECUTION - This arduous theme is chosen to allow others to grow spiritually. Entities with a persecution theme live their lives in anticipation of the worst, certain that they are being singled out for persecution. Experimenting pleasure can throw them into a panic because they are convinced that somehow they must pay for it.
PERSECUTOR - Those with a persecutor theme may range from wife beaters and child abusers to mass murderers. It's difficult to see the purpose of this theme within a single lifespan, but these seeming "bad seeds" have a self-chosen role to play that enables humankind to evolve toward perfection. Once again, it is imperative that we not attempt to judge the individual.
POVERTY - The theme of poverty appears most frequently in Third World countries, yet it can be even more of a challenge in affluent societies. Some entities with poverty as a theme may even have all they need to be comfortable and yet feel poor. With progress, the frenzy fades and is slowly replaced by a sense of bliss as the realization comes that the trappings of this world are transitory things whose importance will quickly pass.
PSYCHIC - The theme of psychic is more a challenge than a gift, at least in the early stages. An entity with this theme is able to hear, see, or sense things in a manner beyond that of natural sense population. Often it comes to those in strict backgrounds where authority figures strive to deny or suppress the gift. Eventually, the entity will learn to accept and live with the ability, using it for good in a spiritual, if not professional, manner. Sylvia, incidentally, does not carry this theme; psychic ability has never been a challenge point in her life.
