Propelled by the feeling of Shy, Despondence
We withdraw when we retreat from interpersonal realities while maintaining our sensitivity to them.
"I am sensitive, therefore I must create a space of perfect safety where nothing can touch me." Withdrawal offers advanced versions of a babe’s instinct to simply fall asleep when overstimulated. Not participating is not the same as being absent. A Withdrawn person might have some of the most insightful commentaries about what they just seemingly slept through. The drawback for Withdrawal is that it does not make space for interpersonal sharing. The habit to immediately cut off from all things distressing, creates endless tensions in relationships.
Awake, Attuned
As Adults we Withdraw as a means to experience inner safety while remaining Playful, Engaged

There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, we generally see four “acceptable” combinations of defense mechanisms operating. Developed in early childhood, they continue to operate as a basic temperamental style throughout adulthood. Here we see Withdrawing as it combines with its four common partners.
When Withdrawing is combined with Detaching =
I behave as a Hermit - Withdrawing from my feelings while seeking to be Attuned
When Withdrawing is combined with Projecting =
I behave as an Adversary - Withdrawing from my feelings while seeking to be Valiant
When Withdrawing is combined with Disavowing =
I behave as a Mercenary - Withdrawing from my feelings while seeking to be Abiding
When Withdrawing is combined with Denying =
I behave as a Vagabond - Withdrawing from my feelings while seeking to be Profound
Sovereign Hermit
Withdrawing and detaching from my feelings while seeking to appear Attuned
Valiant Adversary
Withdrawing and containing my feelings while seeking to appear Passionate
Abiding Mercenary
Withdrawing and disavowing from my feelings while seeking to appear Composed
Profound Vagabond
Withdrawing and denying my feelings while seeking to appear Generous

Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality, usually occurring in the form of a persistent Doppelganger, a nemesis to our accepted sense of selfhood.
As our attachment to the rotating Defense Structures within us dissolves, attention turns to disembodied dark waves that we find alive in our environment. There are 18 available to the witnessing eye. As we gain a more direct relationship to these Dark Wave entities, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.
Meet the Autist within
Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of those with autistic spectrum tendencies in your world? Might you recognize in their appearance, a doppelgänger to your own unresolved actualization of Divine Compassion?

Hone Onna
(the Japanese folklore figure of deep, maladaptive sexual fixation)
Open to the sensations of this fatal intimacy that would consume the object of its desire.
This state of reality-blockade can best be soothed by giving attention to Divine Innocence
Both the Ponaturi (Autist) and Hone Onna (Incel) suffer the unmet need for

turn there to the presence of these two Pipers at the Gates of Dawn
