Art Linson experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Art Linson leads a life which is open to the outside world. His personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Art Linson thinks about social issues from an individual standpoint. Although he may become involved in social affairs, he resists projects he won’t be able to lead himself. He identifies with social activities and tries to understand himself through them.

Art Linson is self-focused. Individualistic, and independent, and he finds he is rarely of the same opinion as others. He may tend to isolate himself from the outer world. On the other hand, he is gifted with the ability to concentrate on whatever subject is really important to him, which would enable him to acquire expertise in any professional domain he chose. But first he would have to overcome his initial subjectivity.

Art Linson lives in a world which is in continual contact with his dreams and subconscious. He cannot live without love, and, like water which flows into and takes on the shape of the vessel which contains it, he is always ready to submerge himself in another person. Stirred by forces he does not control, he may be aroused by passions which are impervious to the restraints of reason and logic. He is an emotive creature in harmony with the flow of his feelings, impulses, and urges.

Art Linson is aware of a lack of confidence in himself and in life. Prone to apathy, he may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which he may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, he was not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, he is unable to move himself toward an improved, more positive disposition. He may reject any challenge that would enable him to surpass his current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of his problem, he may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to him, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.
