othe rs, he is a meddle r and a busybod busybody, y, a t point of view on others, times bordering on violence and cruelty A terrifyin exampe o f this extreme extr eme is that o f the inquisi tors who to tured and burned heretics with the aim of saving their souls. Some of the more spiritually deveoped eampes of the devoti onal type are very intuitive, such as those wo folw folw the path o f pure my mysticism sticism and who achieve some degree of union with the Sef, with its consequent epansion of consciousness and an intuitive perception of reaity At its highest level , the good qualities of this type are as remarkable as the imitations of its ess developed rep resentatives B esides sincer sincer ity, we find find oyalty, ven eration, selfsacrifice, endurance and a lack of fear, among others. Many great saints, apostes, martyrs and reigious heroes are highly developed examples of this type It would be hepful to point out one other distinction and qualification qualification For som e o f the psychologica ty types pes we are c onsidering, we can distinguish distinguish an active and a passive passive subtype, and this is particularly true for the devotiona idealistic type. There is a welldefined subtype that has a generally passive attitude with a distincty feminine psy chology and attributes This can be ceary seen in those or thodo mystics who fe fett a love for for God and an d epressed epress ed it in term s of the mystical mystical marria marriage ge o f the soul wit h Christ. The same attitude is exhibited in many devoted folowers who gather round any dominant personaity The active subtype presents an entirely different pic ture. He d emonstrates the d ef efects ects and virtues of masculine combativeness and aggressiveness; he was the knight errant of the past, always ready to do battle for a ust cause. We do not need to give typical examples of historical individuas indivi duas because they are easy to re cognise, but it may be interes ting to to co nsider two very important repre senta 72
