Reached for: Sacred Path Fixation (Power)

I intend to be above all of it. I've been underneath, and I'm not going back.

Advancement is pursued relentlessly through every available domain, sacred ones included, with elevation treated as the only condition in which safety exists. The drive was manufactured in a hostile childhood where powerlessness was total, so height became the standing answer to a danger that ended long ago. What it asks for is one situation entered at ground level without loss.

The Archetypal Form

Nimrod, who set the tower going upward because the ground had never once been safe. The form implies a task of finding out what the ground is like now.
