Here are the attitudes that go with the Shaper.
Most people think shaping is mysterious. You're trying to get something to happen, and you do all these crazy rituals, and maybe sometimes a little bit happens.
Shaping is about believing, nothing more or less. Not religious believing - very few religious people actually believe their religion. If they did, it might start coming true. What they meant was, "I've decided this is true because I've been told it's true, and I won't listen to any argument." It's just an idea they hold on to with anger and fear. That's not believing.
What matters is what you believe, deep in your guts, when you're focussing. If you believe something is true, all you have to do is make that believe stronger than whatever is stopping you. It doesn't take anger or aggression - it takes passion, it takes energy. Belief is the decision, and then the will, the oomph, behind it. You can be a two year old, or a cat, or mentally retarded, or deeply dysfunctional - none of that stuff matters.
This is simple. You may want to make it difficult and complicated, but it's not.
