Analysis of Compulsive Obsessions

[Magnet Man]

You can analyze your stage of maturity and that of your friends via identifying your position within the following sequence of conscious development.


Infant Psyche: 0 – 3 years. Obsessed with mother image.

Childish Psyche; 3 – 11 years. Obsessed with material images,

Pubertal Psyche 11 – 13 years. Obsessed with the hero image.

Teenage Psyche 13 – 21 years. Obsessed with self image.

Adult Psyche 21 – 42 years. Obsessed with craftsman image

Menopause Psyche 42 – 63 years. Obsessed with parental image

Sage Psyche 63 – 84 years. Obsessed with sagacious image

The sequence of these psychological obsessions promote the ordered growth of self awareness but, in unnatural environments, because they arise compulsively from the sub-conscious, the sequence can be broken and the obsessions can become disordered.

Sounds about right.

Cagey huh? Not going to reveal where you are?

Me? I'm stretched between 13 and 63

[murex]

I'm in the craftsman and sage areas.

Not many my age are in the sage area at all, and I'm like an old man in a young body. I look extreemely young for my age, and I'm constantly thinking of things like metaphysics, the workings of the universe, and objective thought.

My craftsman stems from my artistic skills being honed. I am in college for an education degree in art.

Adult Psyche 21 – 42 years. Obsessed with craftsman image

Menopause Psyche 42 – 63 years. Obsessed with parental image

I'm bordering between these two stages - still in the craftsman image, but with parental image tendencies!

I think some people are born with old souls. My dad thinks I am one of those souls.

I think this makes sense.
