The Merchant Description – The Merchantunderstands the world around them by equating things and people with theirperceived value. This perceived value is based on both emotional value andmonetary value. The Merchant is comfortable understanding their life in thisway due to many past life experiences where they were involved in trade andcommerce. The Merchant feels most confident while negotiating a deal,researching, dealing with numbers, or assessing something’s (or even someone’s)value. Deep down the Merchant has a fear of going broke, and of having theirresources or livelihood stolen from them.

商人模式

商人通过把事情和人等同于他们认知价值的方式来理解他们周围的世界。这个认知价值建立在情感价值和金钱价值基础上。商人对以这种方式理解他们的生活感到舒适是由于许多前世经历里他们参与了贸易和商业。商人在商谈交易、调研、与数字打交道或者评估某个东西（或甚至是某个人的）价值时感到最自信。在内心深处，商人有害怕破产的恐惧，有害怕他们的资源或生计被盗的恐惧。

The Merchant is adept atbusiness transactions, buying and selling, mathematics, patterns and numbers.The Merchant is usually a technology whiz, and loves to have the newestgadgets. Often times, the Merchant can seem aloof or even distant to others,however they are simply lost in thought with some calculations or problem totackle. The Merchant is here now to learn the importance of relationships,intimacy and compassion in the equation of life.

商人擅长于商业交易、购买与销售、数学、模式和数字。商人通常是一个技术奇才，并喜欢拥有最新的小玩意。商人可能看起来是冷漠的甚至是疏远其他人，然而他们只是陷入在一些计算或需要处理的问题的沉思中。商人在这里现在是要学习在生活的等式中人际关系、亲密和同情心的重要性。

Some of the typical past lifeexperiences of the Merchant are: working in trade or commerce, being a merchantor business person, being an entrepreneur, working in banking, accounting orthe stock market. If you assess the world around you through numbers and value,then you hold the past life pattern of the Merchant.

有一些典型的商人的前世经历是：从事贸易或商业、作为或一个商人或商务人士、作为一个企业家、从事银行业、会计或者股票市场工作。如果你通过数字和价值来评估你周围的世界，那么你保留着商人的前世模式。

Expression of the MerchantPattern in Your Life Now – The Merchant loves to talk about numbers, statistics, sales, andbusiness deals. They like to be involved in many social activities, but willview social activities as a way to network and make deals. Even with all oftheir knowledge and business savvy, the Merchant fears that another person willtry to take advantage of them in a bad business deal. The Merchant definitelylikes to do their due diligence before proceeding with any partnerships.However, if they are in sales, they are not as discerning when it comes to whomthey will sell to.

商人模式在你现在生活中的表达

商人喜欢谈论数字、统计、销售和生意。他们喜欢参与许多的社交活动，但是会把社交活动看做是一种建立（工作）关系网和做生意的一种方式。即使有所有这些知识和商业头脑，商人害怕其他人会尝试在糟糕的生意里利用他们。商人明确地喜欢在确立任何伙伴关系之前做他们尽职的调查。然而，如果他们处在销售位置上，就他们将会卖给谁而论，他们不具有同样的鉴别力。

If you express the Merchantpattern, you will need to balance your connection with numbers and yourconnection to people. You need people in your life to make your numbers work.But, you have to learn to let go of the tendency to try to need numbers in yourlife to make people work. This equation is one-way only.

如果你表达着商人模式，你需要平衡你与数字的连接以及你与人的连接。你需要在你生活里的人使你的数字奏效。但是，你也不得不学习放掉尝试需要你生活里的数字来让人去工作的倾向。这个等式只是单向的。

The Merchant, in their pastlife situations, based their self-worth on their business holdings and businessstrategy. Many times, because they have earned large sums of money, they havebeen the target of theft, deception, kidnapping, arson and other similarcriminal acts. This creates a belief within the Merchant that their possessionsmake them a target for others, and they feel that others will lie, steal orcheat to obtain what the Merchant has earned through hard work. Because of thisinner belief, the Merchant is very suspicious of who they will give their moneyto. On the other hand, the Merchant will accept money from nearly anyone. Thismakes them great in sales jobs. However, in other job roles, the Merchant willhave trust issues. They will have a tendency to mistrust others, without anyevidence. This can make team collaboration very tricky. The Merchant is here tolook at the relationship of people with money and resources, not just to viewpeople as resources.

商人，在他们的前世生活情境里，把他们的自我价值建立在他们的商业资产和商业策略上。许多时候，因为他们赚了大量金钱，他们一直是盗窃、欺骗、绑架、纵火和其他类似犯罪行为的目标。这造成了商人的一种观念，就是他们的财产使他们成为他人的目标，他们感觉其他人会撒谎、偷窃或欺骗来获取商人通过努力工作而赚取的东西。因为这个内在观念，商人非常怀疑他们要把钱交给的对象。在另一方面，商人会接纳几乎来自任何人的金钱。这使得他们在销售工作中很有天赋。然而，在其他工作角色中，商人会有信任问题。他们会倾向在没有任何证据的情况下不信任他人。这可能会使团队合作变得非常棘手。商人在这里是要着眼于与人的关系、与金钱和资源的关系，不只是把人看做是资源。

There are two ways that theMerchant theme reveals itself; The Timid Merchant and the Crafty Merchant. Ifyou resonate with The Merchant pattern, you might discover that you can possessqualities of one, or even both, of the ways that The Merchant is expressed.Often in one area of life you can feel one way, and in another area of lifefeel another way.

商人主题有两种方式呈现其自身：腼腆型商人和狡猾型商人。如果你与商人模式有共鸣，你也许会发现你可能会有以上两种商人表达模式中的一种或甚至两种都有。通常，在一个生活领域中，你可能感觉是一种样子，在另一个生活领域里，你感觉可能又是一个样子。

The Timid Merchant – The Timid Merchantprefers to hide behind their numbers. They are not extremely social, but tendto communicate about their work, projects, finance, numbers or research. Tomany others, this communication style can make the Timid Merchant seem likethey do not care. However, they do care about others, they just show their careby numerical means. If you are someone who hides behind numbers, knows lots ofrandom facts, and thinks accounting is fun, then you showcase the past lifepattern of the Timid Merchant. The Timid Merchant’s biggest lesson is to stepout from behind the numbers of life, and experience more of the non-measurabledynamics such as love, joy and compassion.

腼腆型商人

腼腆型商人更加喜欢隐藏在他们数字的背后。他们不是极其喜欢交际的，他们倾向于交流他们的工作、项目、财务、数字或研究。对于许多其他人来说，这种交流风格可能会使人觉得好像腼腆型商人不在乎（他人）。然而，他们确实在乎其他人，他们仅仅是通过数字的方式来显示他们的在乎。如果你就是一个隐藏在数字背后、知道许多随机的（非特定）事实，并且把会计当做乐趣，那么你展现着腼腆型商人的前世模式。腼腆型商人的最大功课是要从生活中的数字背后走出来，并去体验更多不可测量的生活动态如爱、喜悦和同情。

The Crafty Merchant – The Crafty Merchant isthe perpetual salesperson. It does not matter where they are or who they arewith, they will feel a need to discuss whatever project or money making schemethey have going on. This is a skill set that eventually will land them manysales, but usually not as many friends. The Crafty Merchant has a deep downfear of being hoodwinked, so in an attempt to gain the upper hand, they will beprone to use questionable tactics to beat out any competition. The CraftyMerchant also uses numbers and statistics to get their way. It is not theirfault if they obscure some of the facts in doing so, as they think you shouldhave done the research too! If you are someone who talks about finance andcommerce frequently, has a deep fear of being duped and spends a lot of yourspare time socializing, then you showcase the past life pattern of the CraftyMerchant. The Crafty Merchant’s biggest lesson is to release the need to getone over on others before they can do the same in return. The Crafty Merchantis here to learn to trust.

狡猾型商人

狡猾型商人是永远的销售员。不管他们在哪里他们和谁在一起，他们都感觉需要去讨论无论什么样的项目或他们已经进行的赚钱计划。这是一个技能体系，这技能最终会给他们带来许多销售，但是通常不会带来同样多朋友。狡猾型商人有一个内心深处的恐惧，害怕被蒙蔽（欺骗），所以为了企图取得优势，他们会倾向于使用有问题的（可质疑的）战术来打败任何竞争。狡猾型商人也用数字和统计来达到他们的目的。如果他们在这种情况下掩盖某些事实，这不是他们的错，因为他们认为你（应该）也已经做了调研！如果你是一个频繁谈论财务和商业的人，有深深的恐惧上当受骗，并花了很多闲暇时间来社交，那么你展示了狡猾型商人的前世模式。狡猾型商人的最大功课就是要释放需要（在争论中）战胜他人（或展示自己比别人强）的需要而实际上又做不到所说的那样。狡猾型商人在这里是要学习信任。
