Dry Earth—Unconscious State

Unconscious State, as its name suggests, is an oppositional or counter-state of Conscious State. And Unconscious State in Mandala of Characters is exactly on the opposite side to the Conscious State. Therefore, Unconscious State is the State that is most distant from Unconscious State. However, despite the fact that Unconscious State is the most distant from Conscious State, these states have frequent and direct contact with each other.

The diagram below shows the Mandala of Characters for Dry Earth type. In this diagram, we can see where its Unconscious State is.

As we can see, Dry Earth has its Unconscious State at the point marked as—Moist Air.

Please note that the names:
— Dry Earth (that is, Dry Earth’s Conscious State),
— Moist Air (that is, Dry Earth’s Unconscious State)
also reflect the contrast between Dry Earth’s Conscious and Unconscious State.

So, figuratively speaking, when Dry Earth moves to its Unconscious State, then this type becomes its opposite.

On the oval frames around Mandala of Characters, there are short descriptions of what functions and mechanisms we can find in particular parts of Mandala. Overall, these descriptions show eight main reference points of our psyche.

• Four of these reference points relate to four basic psychological functions, which are:
  — Intuition,
  — Sensation,
  — Thinking, and
  — Feeling.
• The other four reference points relate to the four main adaptive-defensive mechanisms, which are:
  — Extraversion,
  — Introversion,
  — Perceiving, Abstraction,
  — Judging, Empathy.

If we look at Mandala of Characters, we can see that Dry Earth’s Unconscious State is closest to the reference point, which is in the upper right corner. This reference point concerns adaptive-defensive mechanism, which his:
— JUDGING, Empathy.

I have briefly described this place in Mandala of Characters using the following concepts, phrases, and symbols:

moist–wet
perfection, sum, time & space, art

On Mandala of Characters, I put my short definition of “JUDGING, Empathy”. About the creation of this definition, I write among others in the works—“The Mandala of Characters—Construction”. As we can see in the diagram above, this condensed definition of “JUDGING, Empathy” is as follows:

( JUDGING, Empathy—
—to care—process, act—synthesis—plan & organize )

Dry Earth’s Unconscious State is also close to the reference point at the top of the Mandala of Characters. This reference point concerns the basic psychological function, which is:
— INTUITION.

I have briefly described this place using the following symbols, phrases, and concepts:

AIR
( spring—source & purpose )
compromise, INTUITION, balance   
( anger / attack )

The above concepts, phrases, and symbols located near Dry Earth’s Unconscious State can already tell us a lot about the main state of this type.

Besides, I am working on broader studies of this state and other states of Dry Earth. At the moment, it is difficult for me to say when I will finish them. However, I very much hope that I will successively complete one chapter after another.
