Social Conditioning starts generations before we are born and sets the stage for many of the core states that cycle through our bodies. As social beings we are the literal embodiments of the instincts of our ancestors.
Imperatives in the Menagerie represent the unspoken rules that unite us viscerally with family members sharing the same ancestral line. From the outset, imperatives appear as directives toward a certain core value. These values orient us toward what seems a noble path.
Upon closer inspection, we see that each imperative is also correlated with underlying instinctual states that can limit our full emotional expression.

Whereas Imperatives operate behind the scenes controlling your instinctual reactions to events, Territories point you toward your own chosen quest to discover and integrate a deeper sense of self.
Territories are shown as nine interlocking ecosystems in the Menagerie. Each Territory is inhabited by six specific Animal Moods joined together in a shared True Self Quest.
When you arrive at a sense of homeostasis with the six animal moods of a chosen True Self Territory, a new sense of Consciousness emerges.
