Ali Bouali seeks to make his inner wealth outwardly manifest and substantial.

Ali Bouali leads a life which is open to the outside world. His personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Ali Bouali wanders the city, lost in thought. Although he is personally involved in social affairs, he resists any project he will be unable to lead himself according to his own individual direction. He identifies himself with an activity with social implications and attempts to know himself through this activity.

Ali Bouali is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better himself socially and intellectually. His ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and he will be eager to share them with others. Although he is kind-hearted, he enjoys being in control of situations. He derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround himself with people who need him. He is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. His visions derive from his ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to him, and he will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals he sets for himself.

Ali Bouali thinks, intuits, and perceives things primarily through the mind. He is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, and eager to participate in everything that happens around him. His affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, Ali Bouali seeks a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, Ali Bouali never allows himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, Ali Bouali’s buoyancy borders on indifference.

Ali Bouali struggles to get into a natural harmony with the physical world and the limitations and restraints it places upon him. Idealistic, he tends to be somewhat disconnected from practical considerations and barely pays any attention to material things like food, money, his surroundings and so on. He tends to be footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until his lack of material resources – an issue to which he usually grants no importance – becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead him to see himself as unfit for this world. He may think he cannot attach himself to anything that would sustain his efforts at self-expression. However, his impractical nature offers many positive aspects. He sees life’s possibilities as limitless. He is apt to develop his imagination or pursue a spiritual quest in order to transcend the material world.

Ali Bouali works harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors his own difficulty in understanding his own feelings and emotional needs. He is not insensitive, but he is baffled by his own emotions. He sees the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, he may appear to be hard or aloof. He might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as he seeks special individuals to bond with. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. He has a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. He might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although he offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure him out of his emotional bubble, he is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because his loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
