Type of character—Cool Water—general diagram.

In the diagram above, we can see that one of the points is labeled as — Cool Water. The Cool Water point is also labeled — Conscious State.

Conscious State has this attribute that each type of character tries mainly to follow this state. Therefore, all types of Mandala of Characters take their names from the points where their Conscious States are located.

The next key states of the type Cool Water, which also have a significant impact on his psyche, are located in the following places:

• Unconscious State (or Complementary State) at the point:
  — Hot Fire,
• Strong Self-Esteem State (or Power State) at the points:
  — Moist Air, or
  — Dry Earth,
• Soft Self-Esteem State (or Vulnerable State) at the points:
  — Moist Air, or
  — Dry Earth.

These three states, although they do not play a leading role in our psyche, like Conscious State, they are also significant and necessary. And they have essential functions in the life of any type of character.

As we can see, Power or Vulnerable States can be in two places. So, these two points can put us into both Power and Vulnerable State. Simply put, this is because, for example, a given matter, problem, job, task, etc., at one time, can make us feel powerful or at another time—vulnerable.

In the next four chapters, I will show the four main psychological states of Cool Water, namely:

• Conscious State of Cool Water,
• Strong Self-Esteem State (or Power State) of Cool Water,
• Soft Self-Esteem State (or Vulnerable State) of Cool Water,
• Unconscious (or Complementary) State of Cool Water.

Then, in the next three chapters, I will present three main areas of our psyche, namely:

• Conscious Triangle of Cool Water,
• Unconscious Triangle of Cool Water,
• The Self Square of Cool Water.
