                                                           Fig.  54  —  The  choleric  type  of
                                                           temperament  is  characterized  by  the
                                                           dominance  of  a  complete  astral  body  (the
                                                           latter being composed of G and F matters).
                                                           The  dominance  of  the  astral  body  is
                                                           manifested by the choleric's tendency to see
                                                           everything  through  the  prism  of  his
                                                           emotions  and  to  respond  emotionally  to
                                                           practically  everything.  The  difference
                                                           between choleric s and melancholies lies in
                                                           the  fact  that  the  choleric  possesses  a
                                                           complete astral body, which is expressed by
                                                           the  dominance  of  positive  emotions.
                                                           Cholerics  are  almost  never  capable  of
                                                           finishing a task they have under-taken, if it
                                                           requires patient, laborious and monotonous

                                                           work. But these failures do not plunge them
                                                           into    a    depressive     mood       like   the
                                                           melancholies.  They  tend  to  quickly  forget
                                                           about  their  failure  and  prepare  themselves
            to embark upon another project.

                                                           nature  and  function.  One  of  the  higher

                                                           between the souls of a man and a woman.
                                                           When  harmony  between  them  prevails  on
                                                           all levels, there is an interchange

                                                           accompanied by the circulation of primary
                                                           matters  between  etheric,  astral  and  (when
