She followed an introverted flow, knowing herself and attempting to develop her inner resources to their maximum potential.

Amanda Raye leads a life open to the outside world. Her personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. She is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Amanda Raye thinks, intuits, and perceives things primarily through intuition and inner perceptions. She is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, and eager to participate in everything happening around her. Her affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, Amanda would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, Amanda never allows herself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, Amanda’s buoyancy borders on indifference.

She struggles to get into natural harmony with the physical world and the limitations and restraints it places upon her. Idealistic, she tends to be somewhat disconnected from practical considerations, and barely pays any attention to material things like food, money, her surroundings, and so on. She tends to be footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until her lack of material resources – an issue to which she usually grants no importance – becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead her to see herself as unfit for this world. She may think she cannot attach herself to anything that would sustain her efforts at self-expression. However, her impractical nature offers many positive aspects. She sees life’s possibilities as limitless. She is apt to develop her imagination or pursue a spiritual quest in order to transcend the material world.

You work harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors your own difficulty in understanding your own feelings and emotional needs. You are not insensitive, but you are baffled by your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, you may appear to be hard or aloof. You might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as you seek special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
