And here one may note differing recuperative powers among the various types
of human psyche, of which there are four main types — sanguine, phlegmatic,
7
choleric and melancholic.

Each subject's type is determined by the qualitative structure of his spirit, as
delineated by the relationship between the etheric and astral bodies. For example, a
subject with a complete astral body and a dominant etheric body belongs to the
sanguine type (see Fig. 51).

7 Ed. Note: The terminology set forth here is still in use in Russia to designate the diagnostic categories
referring to four fundamental types of psychic organization. The antiquated terminology was kept, though
the concepts were updated to coincide with contemporary knowledge. In the present volume, the older
terminology is retained, and the four basic types of psychic organization are explained according to the
composition of man's spiritual bodies and their biorhythmic vicissitudes — a multidimensional
perspective never before offered. "SPIRITUAL" BODIES are simply bodies that make up the spirit and
have NO SPECIFIC RELIGIOUS CONNOTATION.
