School of Associative Socionics: "Butterfly" model of a human psyche
I started to translate my artical. I will be posting translations here bit by bit. If something will not make any sense, please, let me know:

“The timid flying of butterflies - is not disorderly, unguided wandering in air, but result of the totality of the set of aerodynamic mechanisms… if for engineers sometimes succeeds in understanding, how these mechanisms work, then will occur revolution in the aeronautics”.
“Association, in psychology - connection, which appears under specific conditions between two or more mental formations (sensations, perceptions, ideas the like); the basic concept of associative psychology… Term is introduced by J. Lock. (1698)”

Introduction
Associative model reflects the dynamics of psychic energy: obvious and hidden motions of human soul, which accompany the information metabolism and are expressed in the general energy of organism, in the temperament, in the mood changes, in the subjective preferences and the mental states.The term “psychic energy” means “a special form of reality of the universe… The energy, about which into one voice talked the healers of all times and nations, which they consciously used, helping their patients, which, until now is not recognized by the academicians and professors only because psychic energy is not possible to touch or register by any kind of instrument, if the individual can not perceive it himself. It is possible tough on the subjective level to develop the capability for perception of this energy and its generations, and only in the personal experience to be convinced of existence of this reality “ In the academic circles the term of psycho-energy is used as regards to the “information- energy field of a living organism” for explaining the number of the parapsychic phenomena of human psyche (3). It is possible to say that by psychic energy is implied in the science the certain interrelation of information and energy in the psyche of man. And this is not by chance.The energy in ezoteriks is also considered in the natural connection with the information. Thus, for instance, “the study of Living Ethics asserts that the human organism in accordance with its physiological and psychological state is capable to emit outside and to receive from the environment the information- energy flows of special kind, which carry information and transmitting power “influences” to another person or to the surrounding objects”. From the socionics’ perspective each person possesses one of sixteen types of information metabolism. If we consider information and energy as something mutually-connected and one-piece, then it is possible to assume that man is also a carrier and the spokesman of psychic energy of the specific type.
The question is: what types of psychic energy (TPE) of man are considered the associative model?
The model “Butterfly” refers to the dynamic structure of psyche on the basis of the compensation between the qualitatively different types of psychic energy, which are associated with four components of the structure of the personality: with the blocks Ego, Id, Superego, Superid. In order to understand what is understood under the names of blocks, let us be turned to the theories of the personality of S. Freud and C. Young. Let us examine first the blocks Ego, Id, and Superego, which are the components of the structure of personality in S. Freud's theory.
(Introduction - continue)
(Intrduction - continue)
Id it is the instinctive part of the personality, which is responsible for the satisfaction of the physical needs of body, such as saturation of the organism by food, the need for the heat and the satisfaction of sexual desires. Id is guided by the principle of enjoyment. The purpose of Id is on one hand to remove the stress, that appears from the desire and on the other hand to reach its immediate satisfaction. In this part of the personality reigns chaos of the passions: there is no logical thinking or the realization of time. Impulses free enormous energy resources, which supply with energy an entire structure of personality. Freud compared Id with the spoiled selfish child, who requires the satisfaction of his desires “here and now”.
The energy of Id is slowly transformed into the energy of Ego under the external influences by means of the realization of the surrounding reality and the necessity to comply with the social norms. To say in other words: Id gives birth to Ego. Ego achieves the rational control for all parts of the personality. It is guided by the principle of reality.
Ego allows the person to distinguish between what is desired and what is possible, subjective from the objective and so on. This part of the personality is not preoccupied with the moral side of things, but pays attention to consequences for the person him/herself. Ego searches for the right moment to satisfy the desires of Id, taking into account possible reactions of other people. Therefore, Ego is compared with the rational judge, who makes plans and decisions about the actions.
Superego is responsible for the moral development of personality. It consists of the two parts: 1. Conscience, which punishes Ego for the poor behaviour by the feeling of guilt; 2. Ego - Ideal, that promises rewards for the good behaviour by feeling of self-pride and self-appraisal. Special role in the development of moral standards and in the formation of cultural values belongs to parents. Freud believed that the internal conflict is inevitable and is natural for any personality (to the different degree), because Ego has to satisfy contradictory needs of Id and Superego. Psychoanalytical theory is often referred to his theory as to the theory of instincts, because the development of personality is considered to be a a part of sexual development and namely the development of sexual instinct (libido). Freud insists that childhood is of a great importance for the development of personality, this is a critical age, because at this time the psychological profile of a person is embedded. The personal experiences associated with the development of sexual instinct is suppressed and is pushed out of the consciousness into the deeper levels of personality forming the individual unconscious (IU).
C.Young, on the contrary did not attach critical value to the development of sexual instinct at the childhood, suggesting that the heredity in many respects defines the ways in which an individual will react to the life situations and what life experiences the person will go through. Young attached special importance to the experience of the previous generations, unconsciously transferred from generation to generation in the form of internal potential, templates of behaviour, in the form of innate mental structures - archetypes. Archetypes form the content of collective unconscious (CU) and are expressed “in the patters and the motives, which are the basis of the general human symbolism of dreams, myths, fairy tales “. (6) For example, the fear of darkness, spiders and snakes can be attributed to the instinctive templates of behaviour. It is much easier for us to develop those fears and phobias, which possessed our ancestors. Unconscious fears, which we sometimes cannot explain, rise from the negative experience of our predecessors and they are the natural part of our heredity and our uncoscious (5).
Collective unconscious contains four basic archetypes: the persona (mask), anima/animus, the shadow and the self. The semantic content of the archetype “the shadow” in many respects determines the meaning of the block Superid in the theory of the “Butterfly” model.
“The shadow” is the source of creativity and simultaneously has got a potential and a tendency towards destruction. This mental structure is inherited from those lifetimes of humanity, when all concerns were reduced to the instincts of survival and continuation of the mankind. It is considered to be a “dark part” of personality, since it includes the potential of destruction. Just as Id, this component of the personality is amoral and does not distinguish good from evil. The Shadow acts on the basis of the animals’ instincts, which are capable both of the self-sacrifice for their posterity and of the coldblooded killing of other creatures, similar to themselves. The innocence of this behaviour is in the fact that animals act upon their instincts and do not possess the freedom of personal choice. (7).
It is pretty obvious from the description of blocks that Ego and Superego can be easily considered as rational and conscious parts of personality and Id and the Superid as irrational, instinctive, unconscious parts of personality. The division of blocks in this model is on the basis of a dichotomies rationality – irrationality and mentality - vitality (conscious- unconscious) coincides with the division of blocks in the model A (model of Aushra).(8).
Names and meanings of the blocks of psychic energy in this model are borrowed from the psychoanalytic theories of the personality of S. Freud, C.Young and from the theory of socionics of A. Augustivenchute. The concept of S. Freud about the dynamic relations between the components of the personality structure is central to the meaning of this theory. “Butterfly” model describes psychodynamics from the perspective of associative socionics. The conflict is a sign of the disbalance of psychic energies within the personality structure can be internal or external and is inevitable according to Freud's theory, since Id and Superego incline Ego to the contradictory solutions.
If pressure on Ego comes from the outside world (for example, the external threat of life), then the person experiences an “external” conflict. If pressure occurs from Id, then internal neurotic conflict can arise. In the case of pressure from Superego the person experiences internal moral conflict. The Ego is simultaneously a judge and a manager, which evaluates the disputing interests of Id and Superego as well as the existing possibilities in the immediate environment and takes decisions. Therefore, Ego is responsible for the retention of psychological balance and for the reaching a compromise in order to satisfy the needs of all conflicting parties (5).
In contrast to the Freud's theory, the associative theory does not consider the conflict between the components of the personality structure as unavoidably leading to the mental deviations. On the contrary, conflict is considered as an active and important “ingredient” of the dialectics of a human soul and a natural part of the personality development. This view on the conflict does not contradict Freud's ideas, who considered any behavior as a compromise one way or the other (5). According to the Butterfly model, a compromise of energy and information within the psyche of a person is reached via the dynamics of a compensatory nature between the different types of psychic energy, namely between the blocks Ego, Seperego, Id and Superid.
Part 3 about meaning of colours and chakras
Hello to all!
This part of theory is quite big because I have to describe chakras in more detail so that you can see similarity in meanings of functions -colours- chakras, where colours are a middle point connecting the two. If you are not interested in esoterics and chakras: why and how socionics functions relate to certain chakras - you can drop this part of theory. However, if you have red some other colour theories you may suggest different association of functions and chakras. It is all about intellectual stimulation, which is always good for the brain ;)
Socionics functions and the psychological meanings of colours
V. Dragunsky (1999) in the book “Colour test of personality” writes the following: “The mystery of colour is not yet uncovered and the question remains until now: Why and in what way precisely the colours influence the mood and behavior of a person? Why did Vasiliy Kandinskiy refer to the painting as a “colour tool” of a mental state ?”
In the socionics’ theory of colour the specific psychic energy is assigned to each of the blocks and to each of the socionics functions within the blocks in the model. The 8 types of psychic energy (TPE) are associated with the 8 colours of chakras. The combination of the two functions within one block produces a mixture of colours and a certain type of psychic energy. There are four major TPE: Ego, Superego, Id, Superid.
The block Ego is characterised by the psychological meaning of red and orange colours which symbolise the goal-directed manifestation of will. The strongest functions of an individual are located in this block of the model A.
T. Yakubovskay (2003) wrote about block Ego in her book “Sotsionika: how to understand yourself and the others: The individual solves the most important problems by means of this block without feeling confused or puzzled. It is reasonably easy to act upon the block Ego, which gives to the person the feeling ofpleasure.” (16) The red colour belongs in the model to the function of the ethics of emotions (Fe). Symbol: fire. According to E. Filatova Fe is responsible for the direct and open emotional reaction and engagement”. (17)
Red color - one of the primary colours together with the yellow and the blue, which cannot be derived from any others. The meaning of this colour in the system of chakras is associated with anger, sensuality and the functioning of lowest chakra Muladhara, which is located at the end of the spine. The work of this chakra is aimed to ensure the survival of an individual. The first chakra is the source of existence, it connects our body with the Earth and with the material world. The name of this chakra means “support” in Sanskrit.
Muladhara is responsible for viability and inspiration. At the emotional level it forms bravery and perseverance, at the sensual level - it is linked to the sense of smell and exerts a substantial influence on the teeth, bones and nails. A deficiency in the energy of Muladhara makes a person nervous and not confident in his/her own capabilities. In such periods the chakra absorbs a feeling of fear. “This the part of our essence fears the unity with the God and acts according to the laws of the jungle: " Entrust no one! " “(9). The excessive stimulation of chakra provokes arrogance, egocentrism, greediness and lewdness. (18)
The second function of the block Ego is the function of applied logic (Te). The name of this function implies the rationality of actions, systemic approaches to problem solving, use of procedures and technologies for achievement the high efficiency of labor. In the model this function is associated with the orange colour and the chakra Svadhisthana , which is located in the base of sex organs. The Sacral chakra is the symbol of sexual enjoyment and reproduction. Symbol: orange (or carrot). Located on the level of sacrum, this chakra is related to the element of water and to the fluid body functions. It presents sexuality, creative activity and emotional equilibrium. Chakra is responsible for optimism and a feeling of taste. As a rule, sociable people have well balanced sacral chakra. The deficiency of this energy can lead to arthritis, accompanied by irritability, sadness, bad temper. The excessive stimulation of chakra leads to the manifestations of aggressiveness, despotism and wilfulness (18).
Part 3 Colours and chakras of the block Superego
Block Superego is associated with the pink/ lilac and violet colours. Pink colour is the colour of the function of the ethics of relations (Fi). Superego block is linked by the meaning with the conscience of a person and the system of the moral norms, accepted in the society. It is not easy to work by means of the block Superego, but the need to develop your weaker functions is difficult or even impossible to ignore, because this is a conscious block. The sphere of the influence of Fi consists of regulations in the relations between the people, questions of responsibility and morality, respect for traditions and their observance (17). Symbol: heart. Pink colour in the system of chakras relates to the Heart chakra together with the green colour.
The block Superego also includes the function of the logic of relations (Ti), which in the model is linked to the violet colour and Sahasrara. This function (Ti) is manifested in the tendency toward the abstract-logical means of thinking, toward the mental structures and the scientific theories. Compare it with the description of the purpose of the chakra:
“The Crown chakra is located on the upper point of the head and represent spirituality. The seventh chakra is a center of the clear, unclouded universal energy. The desire to perceive The God in that form, which is understandable for you at the given moment is the prevailing tendency of the seventh chakra. If a need appears, then you must completely submit your will to the God’s will. At this level we are no longer satisfied by the knowledge of spiritual life, but we attempt to merge with the God and to live subsequently under His guidance… each of us has a higher purpose of living – The God’s intention, who has given to us this incarnation. Each of the highest chakras possesses its own purpose, but the Crown chakra wakes us up to the realization of the universal purpose of our soul in this embodiment. When you reached the perspective of the seventh chakra, you know your highest purpose, but this knowledge implies responsibility. To accept it or to reject – this is the question of personal choice. If you reject the realization of your own purpose, then you will return to lower chakras. But if you accept it, then you attach yourself to the infinite source of energy. God will grant to you entire energy and will create all necessary conditions in order to satisfy the purpose of your soul” (9).
A new model -what is it all about in general?
Hello again!
Before I proceed translating of the articale, I thought it will be a good idea to post here my replay to the question about the general meaning of the theory. I hope it will be easier to read and understand the artical.
First of all, the theory of associative associonics is my perspective, my understanding of things and my discovery of how things connect to each other to give a meaning of what I see - the deeper understanding of things. This knowledge I am happy to share with you. So it is a subjective knowledge of an "objective" world. Do not be afraid of the word "subjectivity"- all " more or less objective" theories come originally from subjective source, from a person -subject and not from the objects. Subjective perception is that magic ingredient, that talent within you which you always wish to discover and to perfect. Some people believe that an objective world is a product of subjective perceptions. This is a philosophy of life.
So the answer was following:
There are many different perspectives to the model, it can be potetially used in different ways. To say short the model shows that things which we usually consider as not objective but purely subjective, in fact do have meaning and can tell you something interesting about the person. It helps you to understand better the personality, it is also an extra tool for typing people. The model is about psychodynamics and it shows that the people of the same type are different and in what way they are different. So it is also the basis for the theory of sybtypes- this is another topic which I need to present in a form of an artical, because the theory already exists. If to be even more general about the theory, then it is about objective regularities/characteristics of subjective world of people. It is a tool of understanding people better,however, this tool needs to be further explored and improved so that it will be more clear to other people - how it works. It is not that easy as somebody may think it is. To be more conrete and to give you some examples of what the model is good for.....knowing the favourite colours of a person and the music he/she likes you can make suggestions about some type related characterisitcs such as dynamics -statics, introversion -extraversion, rationality-irrationality. Basically, the model gives you extra keys in undestanding the inner world of a person and his/her type and subtype. It is not all, but this is important for socionics. I also type music and work in this direction. I know some people who is typing on the basis of drawing or by the writing fairy tales....People constantly unlock many different secrets about personality using the language of socionics. I do not ask you to accept my theory or model- this is the matter of a personal choice.
Part 4. Description of the dynamics oppositons
Thanks to all, who is paying attention to my theory and sorry for delay in translating. I had a busy time learning new interesting staff, while Dr. Grig (Gregory Reinin) was in London. After I finish translating I can write a few words about my new expereinces, for those who are interested.
Description of dynamic oppositions
“The individual soul is not explained by classification, yet at the same time, through the understanding of the psychological types, a way is opened to a better understanding of human psychology in general”.
C.Young
The test of individual preferences – the associative test -was created on the basis of the colour theory, where the dominant TPE is correlated with the main type, and a compensatory TPE - with the subtype. TPE is determined on the basis of the client observation and with the aid of the test. The questions of the test are correlated with the different TPE. Since all four major TPEs (Ego, Superego, Id, Superid) are present in any psyche in a different proportion, the test registers the two most clearly evident TPEs as leading in psychodynamics of a person, similar to the two strong functions in the model A (programme and creative functions), which form the block Ego. The two leading TPE determine the psychodynamics or in other words “dynamic opposition of the psyche”. It means that the person is balancing first of all these two TPEs in his psyche and this is for him vital. It also means that the person carries within him/her and brings to the world mainly these types of psychic energy. This is good to know in order to balance TPEs, where there is an obvious imbalance and inequality. The principal of balance is extremely important for the healthy functioning of the psyche. In the introduction to the work “Psychological types” Young pointed to the existence of main and compensatory subtypes:
“This subjective clouding of judgement is particularly common because in every pronounced type there is a special tendency to compensate the one-sidedness of that type, a tendency which is biologically purposive since it strives constantly to maintain a psychic equilibrium.”
Young, (7), p. 130
As regards to the dynamic opposition in BM (butterfly model), one of the TPE is considered as leading and another as compensatory. The dynamics of the TPEs lay the basement for the associative subtype theory and determine six general dynamic oppositions in the psychic structure of personality where one of the blocks considered to be dominant and another one compensatory:
1.Extraverted opposition: Ego - Id and Id – Ego.
The person is an obvious extravert, this quality is expressed in the need of interaction with the outside world whether it is a need of reconstruction and changing the surroundings accordingly to the personal needs or in constantly seeking attention and new experiences. Depending on what TPE is leading, the person searches for a compromise between the need to exert a rational control over the situation (over his/her own as well as the others actions) with the irrational desire of personal independence and freedom of responsibility, which derive from the immediate impulses.
2. Introverted opposition: Superego-Superid and Superid-Superego.
The person, who is characterised by this opposition, is inclined to the solitude, prefers the small circle of familiar people for socialising as well as for work and well known environment. Depending on what TPE is leading, the person balances his inner drives between the responsibility for oneself and the others: the desire to think and to worry about himself/herself, to protect the sensitive inner world from the destructive influences of the outside world with the need to protect and to care for other people as well as to allocate to them sufficient time and attention.
Part 5: BM about the subtype theory
BM about the subtype theory
Examining model from the energy prospect, it is possible to say that the BM comes out as super-system in relation to the model A, since the blocks and functions are examined separately from the models of 16 types at the more abstract level. Therefore it is possible to isolate new phenomenon in the mental structure of personality - type of mental (psychic) energy - TPE. From the other side, the model B can be considered as subsystem to the model A, which provide the information about the intra-type differences and serves as base for determining the subtype. The questions arise: how BM is converted into the system of subtypes and in what way is it related to the model of any particular type?
BM is connected with the model of the informational metabolism. The common part is in the coincidence of the leading TPE with the program and role functions of model A for each of the 16 types. Model also makes it possible to determine the compensatory subtype on the basis of the psychodynamic opposition, which in turn can be determined through the interrelation with the type of informational metabolism (model A). This means that knowing the exact type of a person, it is possible to make an assumption about his TPE as well as subtype (and vice versa) on the basis of BM. Another article will be dedicated to the theory of subtypes and the development of intra-type abilities. It is important to emphasize for now that it is possible to consider BM as the system of subtypes. For example, the rational extravert being the ego-type (TPE Ego: Fe+Te), could have one of three possible compensatory subtypes in relation with three remaining TPEs: Superid (Si+Ni), Id (Ne+Se) or Superego (Fi+ Ti).
In the socionics’ circles is widely known the theory of subtypes (system DCNH), developed in the School of Humanitarian socionics under the management of V. DarkAngelFireWolf69. (19) It is established that the BM has structural connection with the system of the subtypes DCNH and the subtype model of A. Dovgan. (24) Theoretical divergence between the DCNH and the BM is in the different understanding of the role of energy in the psychic structure of personality as well as what is regarded as the main object of study: the objective behaviour of a person or his/her motives and individual, subjective preferences. Nevertheless it is possible to assume that in spite of a certain difference in the concepts and besides the structural similarity there is also similarity in the content of the theories. This can be established in the course of later discussions. At a given moment the author suggests that there is the semantic connection between the concept of DCNH with the TPEs: Ego – D (dominant), Superego – N (norm), Superid – H (harmonised), Id – C (creative).
The types of psychic energy are correlated semantically with the typology of the temperaments of Hippocrates (460-377 yr. B.C.) and with socionics’ temperaments of V. DarkAngelFireWolf69. (24) Thus, ego-types are correlated with the dominant subtype, the “linear- pressure” temperament and the choleric temperament. Id-types are correlated with the creative subtype, the flexible and speedy –motion temperament and the sanguine temperament. Superid-types are correlated with the harmonising subtype, the receptive- adaptive temperament and the melancholic temperament. Superego-types are correlated with the normalizing subtype, the stable temperament and the phlegmatic temperament. The chain of TPE -associations with the different phenomena can be continued infinitely. For instance, the association test connects TPE with the time (morning, noon, evening, late evening night), with the seasons (winter, summer…), musical preferences (rock, blues, jazz…), with the description of kvadras and so forth. TPE is expressed in the nature and in everything we do, because the people are a part of nature.
The BM about the development of personality
The BM about the development of personality
According to BM, the personality has the following stages of development, which can be associated with the development stages of a butterfly:
1. The egg of butterfly is associated with the development of a baby in the womb of mother and with the block Superid. Psychological types, whose program functions are the same as the function of this block (Si+Ni), will especially value individual comfort and protection from the external influences.
2. Caterpillar is associated with the period of the rapid development of child and the block Id (Se+Ne).
3. Pupa symbolizes the transition period: the end of the childhood and the beginning of teenage period, which is linked to teenage crisis and stepping into young adulthood. The transformation of a child into the adult is related to block Ego ( Fe+Te).
4. Butterfly is associated with the productivity, self-realisation, self-confidence wisdom and stability of mature adulthood: block Superego (Fi+Ti).
5. Old age is linked to the weakening of vital processes, withdrawal from the active life and the responsibility, by growing dependence from others and by block Superid (Si+Ni). This is the stage of preparation for the afterlife.
6. Death and the Judgement day. Devil has got right to take away the soul into the reign of shadows.
It is possible to assume that culpable soul finishes its development at this stage. If a soul is forgiven – it continues the development and the seventh stage begins in the afterlife. May be, it t is not by chance that Muslims have the sacred ritual of walking around of Kaaba 7 times counterclockwise. The building of Kaaba is covered with black silk and resembles the form of a socionics’ symbol of extraverted logic (25). The description of the development of personality in time suggests that the changes will occur both at the level of material body(quantitative and qualitative changes) and at the level of consciousness. That is why we shall additionally examine the differences between the forms of consciousness.
Part 6.Psychic energy and forms of consciousness.
By analogy with the socionics’ theory, the BM connects judgment with the rationality and the consciousness, and perception - with the irrationality and sub/unconsciousness. According to BM and in accordance with other theories, for example, the Freudian theory, conscious functions stem from unconscious functions. It is also possible to assume that conscious functions return from the consciousness to subconsciousness and conclude their way in the unconsciousness as in the bank of the storage information, where it is transformed and is delivered back into the consciousness in a new form when it is needed. Together with the concepts of collective and individual unconscious as proposed by Young (7) there are introduced the new concepts of the collective and individual consciousness, which are the mutually complementing forms of consciousness. Changes in the consciousness can be examined at two levels: at the given moment and in time. The mechanisms of a change in the consciousness at two levels, probably, the same. The difference must be in the results of these processes. Changes of the consciousness at the specific moment do not usually leave a deep track and have a temporary nature. The repetition of the processes occurring in time can lead to the more stable changes in the consciousness both: positive and negative.
Collective conscious (CC) is our collective knowledge, which is the experience of generations preserved in the books, traditions, culture, legislation and so forth. Obviously CC is in the process of a constant renovation.
Collective unconscious (CU) is our inheritance from the previous generations, which left track in our psyche in the form of images and ideas tgeneral for the entire humanity (7).
Individual conscious (IC) relates to the self -realization as the subject, separate from all the objects. Which entails the awareness of the individual flow of consciousness and self-perception as a rational human being, capable of reflecting the surrounding reality in symbols, mental and sensory images.
Individual unconscious (IU) corresponds to the retention of our personal experiences and knowledge, which were forgotten, ejected by consciousness into unconscious mind or they did not have a sufficient energy to reach consciousness and therefore remain perceived, but not registered (7).
The BM has got a shape of a Butterfly. The horizontal channels of BM connect the functions which are opposite to each other on the dichotomy of extraversion-introversion. The left side of BM belongs to the mental block (conscious) and the right side - to the vital block (unconscious).
In the two top channels are the functions of block Ego (on the left) and the functions of the block Id (on the right). According to model A these blocks are the strongest in the structure of a psyche. In the BM the information enters the program function (Ti) from the controlling function (Te) from the direction of the block Id. Ti-Te opposition is independent (not a contact one), it corresponds to internal perception and collection of information from the external world. Motion of information in a direction towards itself or inwardly. It is possible to assume that Te as an informational aspect activates and attracts attention of the program function Ti at the level of perception – subconscious level. This process is automatic, it does not require special efforts. From the Te to Ti information is transferred further to the channel of the opposition Ne--Ni. This functional opposition is active, dependent (a contact one) and to the larger degree conscious. The second, creative channel Ne-Ni processes and delivers information into the external world (direction from the subject to the object). The produced information is directed, first of all, toward an active change in the outside world.
This is last post from the article. We managed!!!
Superid energy is linked to the old age, when the person becomes more and more dependent on the others for the life maintenance. During this period the partial loss of individual and collective consciousness may happen. This is a natural preparation for further transformation of consciousness after death.
The loss of physical body does not mean however the total loss of consciousness or the individual psychic energy. Together with the concept of the human organism as a dynamic system, which develops in accordance with the laws of physics and chemistry,S. Freud also used the law of energy conservation as the theoretical base for his psychoanalytical theory (5). The energy as mass cannot be destroyed according to this law, but it is only transformed: “The law of conservation of energy – the fundamental law of nature- states the fact that energy of the closed system remains in time. In other words, energy cannot arise from anything and can disappearnowhere, it can only pass from one form to another.” (26)
Conclusion
Butterfly model lays foundation for the development of associative socionics and integration of socionics’ theory into psychoanalytical psychology as well as
alternative therapies. It is possible with the help of associative method used in the model to gain a deeper insight into the subjective world of an individual and to realize that the world of subjective preferences and motives is not so chaoticor accidential in nature as at may seem at the first glance.
The saying like this one “to the taste and the colour - there is no comrade” reflects more the past but not the future of socionics. Model indicates to the deeper link between the human being and nature at the level of energy-information metabolism, to the universal connection. The subjective preferences of people in colour, music, art etc., reflect the objective laws governing the development of their subjective world. The inner motives are the product of their individual psychodynamics, which can be examined from the perspective of associative socionics in more detail in a future.
Only the references are left to post. If you have any questions, critics, commets - wellcome!
