Practitioners
 
 
 
  The Practitioners of the Lifestyle Tribe is the glue that holds the world together. Teachers of the Lifestyle are among the most ubiquitous tribes in the world. Members have prestigious access to tribes worldwide, a boast that other tribes can not make. Even among the Cyberions and Superions, the Practitioners tribe engenders part skepticism and part surprise when “luck” always seems to be on their side. Practitioners within Sunjammers and the Cosmonauts tribes meet with Practitioners outside those tribes, and they get together behind closed doors chuckling at the power of language pointing to the same truth: the practice of the Lifestyle is paramount over all. Practitioners laid down the paradigm that most in the world follow, and those who follow the Lifestyle are known as magicians informally by Superions and Cyberions. They called them magicians because, superions and cyberions viewed the Practitioners insistence on the Chaordic reality as a way to magically bestow the answer to life profound questions calling it “backdoor magical thinking.” This source or self-organizing Chaordic reality seems to provide solutions to life’s problems, magically, detractors say. Practitioners, however, would say this is a gross generalization. Chaordic reality’s answers bubble up like foam on a beach, and practitioners may choose one of those solutions to take one step forward. Regarding innovation, Practitioners, feel, that they are the grease that causes the operations of society to move smoothly and wisely towards robust creativity and well-being and away from self-inflicted suffering.
  Although they would not admit it, Practitioners enjoy the prestigious title of the first tribe. They were the light in the dark when the world turned for the worse, tracing their tribal history back to the first member: Dr. Hal Jackson. After the Great Turn, their seedling of a tribe, established by the revered founder, Dr. Jackson, the seeds of the other tribes began to blossom generations after this death as a new world order sprung from its firstElysian settlement in Canada. Along with the Venturist tribe, the Practitioners Tribe is one of the most revered tribes in the world, as people always lend an ear to their sage wisdom.
 
 
  Practitioners are the foremost masters of the foundational practices that structure the world. From Theory of U practices to Liberating Structure practices, they represent a new way of creating collective community and harmony. Practitioners of the world are the authority on governance, settling constitutional disagreements when their expertise is needed.
  Practitioners embrace the balancing power of the Lifestyle and are among the most open-minded in the tribal world. They are eager to see how others employ the meta-methodology. They are also the informal referees and coaches who advise those who stray too far from a comprehensive understanding of the practice. Such advice has erupted grumbles of disapproval behind their backs, especially among the Cyberions and Superions, finding them obstacles to significant advancements.
  The undeniable truth is that the Practitioner’s way makes life easier, and this causes additional grumbles from detractors. The world under this Lifestyle is far brighter than what Trekker historians lectured how it was in the past. Scientists who are also members of the Practitioner Tribe find that they are more creative and happier in their lives and work, undermining the vision of what it means to advance humankind from the Cyberion and Superion perspectives. Both tribes hate to think that this “foo foo side” of the methodology has merit when it is tough to pin down empirically. They have an uneasy tension with Practitioners practitioners who contribute to just as much innovation and progress as their Cyberion and Superion counterparts. Practitioners say healthy competition fosters benefits for all in the world. Cyberions and Superions do not agree with this ‘rosy’ interpretation.
 
  Nickname: Monks or magicians, they support the paradigm of the world. Revered by some tribes, secretly despised by others, they try to walk the Lifestyle and the Practices rather than engage in petty tribal politics, which they teach goes against the spirit of the Work constitution anyway.
  Appearance: They are simple people with simple clothing. They borrow from the Buddhist monks of old, preferring to wear only one kind of attire as a way to move towards a life that minimizes materialism.
  Backgrounds: Even though these ‘monks’ can have families, they are among the most stringent tribes. Minimalists, by nature, as Practitioners, are simple masters of the Lifestyle laid down by Dr. Jackson those many generations ago. Rather than specialists, they tend to be generalists and coaches operating as critics and teachers of the Lifestyle. Talking with them, is very much like talking with a life coach rather than a minister or therapist as they see citizens of the Elysian as practitioners of the Lifestyle and aspires to assist them achieve their dreams. They share an outlook of fostering collective harmony and peace in the world and find their Solarian brethren and exemplars of that vision. Many Practitioners are also respected members of the Solarian tribe and vice versa. Many say there is no difference between the two tribes; they are just different aspects of one tribe.
  Character Creation: Practitioners tend to be introverted but not always. They lean towards balance and well-roundedness, seeing life from a comprehensive perspective. Admittedly, they like to work with what is rather than change their bodies or manipulate their genetic expressions. - 2 diff on all Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Existential Rolls.

  Weakness: Practitioners tend to hold a holier than thou attitude, which is their weakness. They look to show how their way is the right way when they should navigate, rather than predict, the reality through governance practice. Hence, behind their claims of humility, there is a shadow ego that grows in the dark. This issue, which they know is there, but can not always see, makes them depend on others to point out this flaw from time to time.
  Stereotypes
  Superions: They strive to evolve their biology without heart. This mistake is their most significant blind spot.
  Solarians: Our companion who walks this world and walks it well. I wish certain tribes could follow their example.
  Venturists: Practical employers of the Lifestyle. They are teachers in their own right.
  Cosmonauts: An impressive tribe that tends to be impatient. This shadow mind is their flaw. Like Cyberions, they do not have the patience to navigate a world where all would benefit and none need to suffer regardless of the knowledge attained.
  Lunarians: These practitioners have a lot to teach. Unfortunately, their paradigm of what constitutes enlightenment is incorrect. We hope to awaken them to the error of their ways.
  Trekkers: They employ the Lifestyle in surprisingly fresh ways. They inform our future by looking to the past. Unfortunately, their treks into the damned lands lead to a lot of suffering from those not as enlightened as them, and they suffer for it.
  Cyberions: These egoists turn their back on balance, preferring the old ways of unwise science, which encouraged changes in the world that led to the catastrophic Great Turn. And now, they wish to engage in this foolish way of practice again? Some shall always remain deluded until the end. One of our definitive purposes is to be the compassionate boundary to this unwise way of living.
  Sunjammers. Sailor of the seas. We admire their incorporation of the Lifestyle and practices for advancing their understanding of the sea, but we wish their hearts were more inclusive to those who differ from their aspirations for sea exploration and advancement.
