Update 1.11 — Double lines and arrows connecting particular psychological states.


In the Mandala of Characters, I distinguish four main psychological states. It means:

  1. Conscious State.
  2. Unconscious State.
  3. Soft (low) Self-esteem State.
  4. Strong (high) Self-esteem State.

To better illustrate the connections between the above psychological states, I decided to change kinds of lines and arrows between these states.

I used before single lines to show connections between these states. But now, I think, it will be better if I will use double lines and arrows instead of single ones.

Double lines or arrows symbolize the fact that psychic energy flows in two directions.

I think, two lines or two arrows more clearly symbolize the fact that psychic energy flows in two directions between particular psychological states. Such two lines is, so to speak, a road with two traffic lanes. One lane we can use to move in one direction and the other lane in the opposite direction.

In the diagram below, we can see such connections between psychological states the type of character—Moist Air.



With the help of darker and lighter lines, I illustrated connections between psychological states.

In the Conscious Triangle, the lines are brighter than in the Unconscious Triangle. I did it in this way because I want to distinguish the connections between psychological states in Conscious and Unconscious Triangles.



For a better illustration of how psychic energy flows, I ended with arrows the lines connecting psychological states. We can see this in the diagram where I am presenting it on the example of the type—Moist Air.
