Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Vinnie Hacker is searching for stability; he wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for his life. But his efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, he is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time he reaches what he believes to be a good balance, he realizes he wants something entirely different. He would do well to become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

At the moment of Vinnie Hacker’s birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a portent of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes which is extremely beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose the personality. Vinnie Hacker thus enjoys a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of his psyche, between his determination and his routines, between his drive for self-assertion and his receptivity, his ideal and his sensitivity.

Vinnie Hacker’s parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to him, and it is likely that they encouraged him to develop his own individuality. As a result, he was and is able to be comfortable with himself as he is instead of striving to attain his parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family.

In Vinnie Hacker’s emotional relationships with his peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images his ego projects on the other are especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between the two people is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

Vinnie Hacker has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for Vinnie, Vinnie tends to think of Vinnie as the center of the universe, an attitude which those close to Vinnie do not always appreciate. Although Vinnie is quite likely to succeed in Vinnie’s ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, Vinnie’s lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose Vinnie to some danger. Vinnie’s exaggerated optimism could create difficulties by causing Vinnie to make errors in judgment.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Because Vinnie Hacker is fond of method and order, he usually prefers to do things according to a pre-established plan. His behavior mirrors this tendency. He will adopt relatively strict models elaborated on the basis of logical or moral reasons. He does not readily express his personal feelings or emotions and may sometimes strike others as a rigid person. However, his conscientiousness and application make him thrive in a work environment, and he tends to treat social engagements and activities as a form of duty. His natural taste for clarity, detail, and technique would make him successful as a scientific researcher or high-tech designer.

Optimistic and happy to be alive, Vinnie Hacker is a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. Vinnie Hacker is extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gives of Vinnie Hacker and Vinnie Hacker’s belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook is the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. Vinnie Hacker is quite likely to be a professional success; Vinnie Hacker’s vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and Vinnie Hacker’s urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society.

Although Vinnie Hacker’s demeanor is cool and distant, he is extremely sensitive. In some cases, his rather austere and rigid behavior and refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. He has spells of melancholy in which he does not feel worthy of being loved and tends to forbid himself any emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for his inner self to be detached from this past life, and he sometimes has trouble reconciling the image he has of himself as an adult with the one he acquired back then. The idea he has of himself as an individual is related to the image his parents projected onto him as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and he is now an adult. It should be easy for him to rid himself of these phantoms through self-work. He has the ability to overcome his mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve his goals. Nevertheless, he must not repress his sensitivity in order to succeed.

Insecurities could cause Vinnie Hacker to crave order in his life and to prefer to do things according to a predetermined plan. Unfortunately, because Vinnie’s logic and vision tend to be somewhat short-sighted, it requires a great effort for Vinnie to adapt to a situation. Vinnie is rigid, might struggle to make friends easily, and is sometimes wary of relations with those Vinnie is most attracted to. Vinnie is a gifted worrywart.

Vinnie Hacker is emotional and tends to react suddenly and excessively as soon as his sensitivity is touched. Although he feels that his independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, he is sometimes frustrated by his need to rely on his family or friends. Moreover, he does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as his own. Likewise, he is sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if he feared that it would doom him to eternal dependency. His ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship he had with his mother or a mother figure. Although he was dependent on them, they may have rejected him. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which his sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off his feelings of dependency, he sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, his reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Vinnie Hacker’s sensitivity and emotions are sometimes in conflict with their instincts. This inner discord makes them a fairly complicated relationship partner, and their behavior sometimes strikes others as mysterious or baffling. They are liable to switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of their life, and their relationships are most often motivated by their desires. Nevertheless, due to their unconscious inner battle, they do not often succeed in reconciling and fulfilling their emotional and sexual needs. Due to the strength of their instincts, passion may overwhelm them and drag them into situations they cannot always control, which intermingle erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.
