Hot Air—Conscious State

Conscious State is our leading psychological state. Therefore, in Mandala of Characters, the names of the character types come from the places where individual types have their Conscious States.

Therefore, in Conscious State of Hot Air type is at the point where it is—Hot Air.

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 Hot Air’s Conscious State is closest to the reference point, which is in the upper left corner. This reference point concerns adaptive-defensive mechanism, which his:
— EXTRAVERSION.

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

hot
attention, attitude, trust, belief, focus, persuasion

On Mandala of Characters, I put my short definition of EXTRAVERSION. 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 EXTRAVERSION is as follows:

( EXTRAVERSION —
—to have—object, case—experiment—risk & opportunity )

Hot Air’s Conscious State is also close to the reference point on 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 )

Besides, about the type “Hot Air” says a lot its name, that is:
— Hot Air.

Being “Hot Air” in a symbolic sense shows the way of being, attitude towards other people and their reception by this type of character.

The above concepts, phrases, and symbols located near Hot Air’s Conscious 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 Hot Air. 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.
