Essence: training for the task.Fine tuning your abilities
The theme is extension. The first hesitating steps have been taken and they know in theory what they are capable of. But in order to get really good at it they have to train a lot. They want to do this training because they like to extend their knowledge and their abilities. To achieve this they need a lot of feedback. They need a teacher or guru who tells them what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. They like it best when someone tells them they are doing it right, as it makes them feel satisfied they have learned something.
Teaching how it is done: helpThe main characteristic of
Manganum is their desire to help. They are very kind and love to please others. They also adapt easily to other people. This desire to help is more than a desire, it is a need that has to be fulfilled otherwise they get very restless.
They are very sensitive people, sensitive to music and art as well. If they feel depressed they can feel better or worse depending on the type of music that is being played. They are often clairvoyant, their sensitivity making them understand how other people feel and they intuitively know what they should do to help. They often took care of others from an early age onwards, relieving their parents of the burden of bringing up the family.
Desire for complimentsSensitive people who like to please others and who hope they will be acknowledged for what they do.
They like others to notice how much they do and they like to be complimented on their efforts. Compliments put them at ease: they know they have done well and they can relax now. Criticism makes them feel very indignant (DD Staph, Colocynth). They may dream about a reconciliation, because it will keep bothering them until it is solved. This shows in the frown on their forehead or the bitter expression on their face. It is a state of hurt and indignation that makes them want to avoid company altogether. Vrijlandt gives a typical example of a
Manganum woman who has given a party and who won’t rest until she gets a thank-you phone call from her guests the next day, saying they had a wonderful time. The same theme of pleasing others but wanting to be praised for her efforts.
Constructive criticism‘I can tolerate criticism as long as it is constructive’. This is the answer they will give you if you ask them how they react to criticism.
If the criticism is purely destructive they get very bitter. They did so much and it still isn’t enough. They tried so hard to please everybody and look what they get! This is the stage indicated by the rubric: ‘Embittered mood, implacable, for a long time having a grudge against who offended him’ (Allen), and ‘Irreconcilable and long continued resentment against those who injure him’ (Hering). They can be quite critical themselves too, although always in a mild form, because they mean it to be constructive.
