            imparts  a  strong-willed  potential,  which  allows  the  phlegmatic  to  perform  tasks
            requiring great perseverance and attention to detail.

                  1. Physical body.
                  2. Etheric body.

                  3. Astral body.
                  J2 — level of development of an etheric body.
                  J3 — level of development of an astral body.

                  h, i, j — qualitative barriers between the levels.

                                                          Fig.  53  —  The  melancholic  type  of
                                                          temperament  shows  dominance  of  a  lower
                                                          astral body  (composed of only  one primary
                                                          matter,  G).  The  dominance  of  this  type  of
                                                          astral body is manifested by the tendency to

                                                          see  everything  through  the  prism  of  his
                                                          emotions  and  to  react  emotionally  to
                                                          practically everything.

                                                                Melancholies  can  be  easily  ignited  by
                                                          any  idea,  but  the  absence  of  a  well-
                                                          developed will does not allow them to follow

                                                          matters through to a logical conclusion.
                                                                This  triggers  a  depressive  reaction  to
                                                          which  they  are  very  prone  —  getting
                                                          thoroughly sub-merged in it for long periods
                                                          of time and plagued by suicidal ideation and
                                                          complete loss of self-confidence.

                                                          Typically this occurs because a partial astral
                                                          body is in resonance with the lowest astral
                  plane.

                  1. Physical body.
                  2. Etheric body.

                  3. Astral body.
                  J2 — level of development of an etheric body.

                  J3 — level of development of an astral body.
