Ektoneira is loving, nurturing, and protective. Ektoneira tends to place her relationships above herself, and is capable of great self-sacrifice. Ektoneira works hard to protect the things she loves, and likes to create a safe and tranquil sanctuary for herself and them. Ektoneira craves peace and harmony, and will go to great lengths to achieve these.
At the same time, Ektoneira has definite expectations of her relationships and can be quite upset when these expectations are not realized. Ektoneira tends to ignore individual considerations because of her expectation of specific patterns. When cause and effect do not follow as she anticipates, Ektoneira is all too likely to blame the situation rather than reassess her expectations. Too, her protectiveness can become paranoia and Ektoneira sometimes smothers the very things she loves and seeks to protect. The frustration which arises from this led Deity to create Her next Avatar.
Ebdomoneira –Having combined Her subjective and objective knowledge of relationships Deity created Ektoneira with the intention of bringing about balance and harmony in Her experience of the physical. Successful at first, Ektoneira ultimately failed in this because of the dissonance between her expectations and reality. Because Ektoneira could not revise her expectations when her results failed to support them, it was necessary for Deity to create another Avatar: this was Ebdomoneira.
Since Ektoneira could only appreciate things in relation to her expectations of them, Ebdomoneira was created to appreciate the differences between things and to embrace the idea of individuality.
Ebdomoneira’s dominant characteristic is love of the unique. Far from being attached to predetermined expectations as Ektoneira is, Ebdomoneira loves the surprises and unexpected experiences which come from taking things as they are.
Ebdomoneira is optimistic and trusts that the innate nature of things is always an inherently good. Because of this Ebdomoneira accepts things for what they are and embraces them in their natural state, without seeking to change or refine them.
Ebdomoneira cherishes the differences between things and by studying this she sees the similarities between them –in this she achieves a high understanding of the inner nature of existence. In this she differs from Pemptoneira whose understandings are of relationship and process rather than inner nature.
Loyalty and devotion are Ebdomoneira’s greatest strengths –however they can also be her greatest weakness. EbdomoneiraÂ’s nature lacks judgment and tends to accept things unconditionally. Consequently Ebdomoneira can be quite oblivious to the good or bad effects of things, being entranced by their individual characteristics rather than their outcomes. It is this lack of discernment regarding the outcome of situations which led to the creation of the Eighth Monad.
Ogdoneira –Deity created Ebdomoneira to appreciate and intensify the individuality of existence, greatly increasing the experiential value of being. However individuality not tempered by judgment can sometimes become chaotic and destructive. To counteract this Deity created Her eighth Avatar, Ogdoneira.
Ogdoneira is all about order, process, and focus. Ogdoneira is pragmatic and goal oriented. Ogdoneira seeks to create structures to carry out her will.
