*But the conclusion to be drawn from the Outer Circle pattern** of Insanities is that these represent extreme forms of progressions which we all tend to go through – as is intuitively apparent when you first read about the symptoms of schizophrenia and manic depression, at the age of about twenty, and discover that you have had both for years without realising it.

There is a suggestion, therefore, that whatever the accompanying physical processes, the origin of these extreme forms of Outer Circle rotation may lie in the attempted obstruction of circle Dynamic processes or tendencies by other factors – in the environment, for example: e.g. in the family;*** or perhaps in their aggravation by similar factors;**** or in both.

The point is, I think, that the pursuit of Outer Circle rotational development involves inner promptings to do outer things, or which can only be satisfied by doing outer things. The more you deny those promptings, the more you suffer inwardly (but the more you comply with them, the more you suffer outwardly, i.e. materially[)]. The World is likely to go along with the outer things you have to do on the first ([i.e. ]male) hemisphere, but to obstruct (or take advantage of) the things you have to do on the second ([i.e. ]female) hemisphere. The more worldly they# are, the more they will object; the closer they are, the more they will object. (To the extent that you are worldly, so you yourself will object; this may account for the shifts of mood of the manic depressive at A~ (which contrasts with the relatively consistent mood of the Schizophrenic???).
