What does Barry Pearl’s psychology tell us about them?

Barry Pearl is a meticulous and dogged worker, gifted for tasks which require great precision and discipline. He might struggle with pessimism about his own self-worth and try to compensate for this feeling by constantly keeping busy and devoting himself almost entirely to those close to him.

Barry Pearl:

I have a paternal complex, and because of that I have trouble finding my identity. Perhaps my father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during my childhood, which deprived me of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because I lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, I was forced to protect myself against negative influences and find my own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to me as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with my evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber my mind or inhibit my developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for me to assert myself, and I tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because my authoritarian urges are mainly directed at myself rather than others, I sometimes feel guilty about my behavior. I judge myself severely, and sometimes punishes myself by setting difficult tasks for myself. Gradually, I should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

When you were born, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This was a sign of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes, which was very beneficial. It was the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which composed your personality. You enjoyed a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of your psyche, between your determination and your routines, between your drive for self-assertion and your receptivity, your ideal and your sensitivity. Your parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to you, and they probably encouraged you to develop your own individuality. As a result, you were and are able to be comfortable with yourself as you are instead of striving to attain your parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family. In your emotional relationships with your peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony was that the images your ego projected on the other were especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship were not felt to be constraints, the energy which flowed between the two people was a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts were projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

You are an individualist who has shed the traditions of your social class and adopted a lifestyle that is innovative and passionate. Your convictions can sometimes cause trouble in your relationships, as you are uncompromising in your beliefs. You would do well to learn to recognize your own limitations and accept the responsibilities you have to other people. If you do not learn to do this, you are likely to be embroiled in conflictual relationships throughout your life. The roots of your behavior may be found in your relationship with your father or teachers in childhood and adolescence. For some reason, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father, in the same way that you are now rejecting conventional values. In every important life decision you make as an adult, you must rely on yourself to develop the appropriate behavior and impose limits on your desires in relation to reality and the law.

He cares a great deal about his reputation and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around him. Fond of social events and parties, Barry likes to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, he has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general.

Barry Pearl is sexuality is an important part of their life, and their relationships are most often determined by their instincts. If they have a relationship that is exclusively satisfying sexually, however, they might feel frustration, because they are driven by a kind of unconscious guilt to seek fulfillment for their heart and soul as well. They tend to be a rather excessive and tormented partner, who often re-evaluates the bonds that connect them to their partners.

Barry Pearl is looking for the ideal love. He tends to idealize his friends and lovers, and prefers to dream of his soulmate instead of making love to one. He is more in love with the idea of love than anything else. His idealism may hide a fear of truly committing himself to a relationship, so he tries to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to him: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Barry Pearl thrives on cerebral connection and would do well to seek a marriage or long-term relationship based on friendship and intellectual discussion.

Barry Pearl may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive him to seek pleasure. His need for romantic fulfillment may compel him to marry, because he also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that he had indeed achieved success. However, privately, he might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

Barry Pearl is an intuitive thinker. He does not reason things out through a long, articulate, logical discourse; instead, he seizes the visions or insights that spontaneously flash into his consciousness. He thus has a form of immediate knowledge of various phenomena which is based neither on reasoning nor on any elaborate thought process or method. As a result, if he is an extrovert, he will possess an inventive, innovative spirit gifted for improvisation. If he is an introvert, his mind will be an abundant source of personal inner truths.
