  • For the Intestinal Character, ACHIEVEMENT is an extension of one's experiences, education, and imprinting;

  • The Intestinal Character tends to devote long periods to exclusive giving/doing, and, short periods to receiving;

  • The adult world cannot satisfy the SuperEgo demands (excessive) of the Intestinal Character. This results in perceived and real rejection leading to disappointment, then depression, which produces a challenge to one's self-esteem;

  • Extreme wilfulness is often demonstrated by an Intestinal Character.
    There is an effort to assert/find one's Basic Personality both within, and, in opposition to the Social or Role Identity which has been chosen by, or, imposed on the person;

  • Tensions can often build deeply with Intestinal Characters, as there are seldom emotional outbursts of release;

  • Anger functions to provide a re-assertion of one's motivation, for Intestinal Characters, when changes are being frustrated;

  • ** There is often a deep sense of restriction, confusion, anxiety, and terror from the current years of experience.

  • ** In striving to maintain one's level of activity and achievement, even in difficult situations, the intestinal character loses strength and assurance. Persistence can cloud opportunities;

  • An intestinal character is encouraged when an awareness of responsibility and opportunity, as an adult, are frustrated by the apparent and real insensitivity of many others who behave in infantile, self-focused, and material - centered behaviors and attitudes.

  • Mentored and learned values and ideals tend to separate the Intestinal Character from those less aware and less experienced in the understanding of perspectives held by persons unlike themselves;

  • Extraordinary hopefulness, faith, and optimism .. can be a contributor to the development of the Intestinal Character;

  • Overripe fruit on a tree tend to attract preditors to attact and diminish it while the less ripe fruit proves less satisfying to the harvester. In similar fashion, the Intestinal Character can easily define its opposition and finds difficulty in gaining support from others to share in its determinations.

  • The over-extended adult finds it easy to take a position in the realities of its concerns. It is confident in the relevancy and validity of the choices it makes.

  • There can be an excess of strength in the lower part of the body, with a tendency to exhibit a corresponding weakness in the upper areas of function. An overactive digestion, kidneys, liver, and spleen can weaken the adrenals, lungs, heart, and, thyroid. This can disorient and distract the immune system. The "parental" social function can often find expression in an excess of independence and aggression.

  • The Intestinal Character really wants contact with and support from those sanctioned in its wider culture such that its benefits of developed skills and experience can be utilized and appreciated in the support of many others. Frustration, confusion, disappointment, and despair can arise when these outcomes are not realized.

  • (For a healthy adult) what is required is a restrained and even flow of an adult pattern of functioning;

  • Their passion and expertise must be restrained and carefully expressed;

  • The confidence of relevancy, altruism and potential are real;

  • The muscle tensions in the groin and lower back must be released;

  • The SuperEgo and Basic Personality are both stimulated and they are best to be tempered byany spiritual strengths available.
    Not until the (SuperEgo) becomes truly humble to the direction of God and an acceptance of its own limitations, does it become possible to sustain, in health, one's participation. ***
