Joshua Brown seeks to make his inner wealth outwardly manifest and substantial.

Joshua Brown tends to be reluctant to team up with other people. He attempts to free himself from any outside influence and is eager to leave his personal imprint on the world around him. Often, due to his lack of perspective in relation to other people, he rebuffs their help and cooperation on projects.

Joshua Brown’s concern is his personal, subjective interest. Because the development of his personal identity requires great individual freedom of action, he tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations. Psychologically self-centered, he remains fairly detached from the social world. He reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. Individualistic and egocentric, he derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

Joshua Brown lives in a world which is in continual contact with his dreams and subconscious. He cannot live without love, and, like water which flows into and takes on the shape of the vessel which contains it, he is always ready to submerge himself in another person. Stirred by forces he does not control, he may be aroused by passions which are impervious to the restraints of reason and logic. He is an emotive creature in harmony with the flow of his feelings, impulses, and urges.

Although Joshua Brown may not necessarily notice the fact about himself because he is so strongly engaged in actions, feelings, or material concerns, he sometimes lacks sound judgment. This impairment arises from a difficulty in obtaining perspective on himself and his life. He may be puzzled by his troubled relations with others. He must make an effort to detach himself from his personal reaction and observe it from an objective, more distant standpoint. If not, he is likely to find himself under stress or pressure because he did not give enough prior thought to tactics and strategy. He may also experience dissatisfaction in his intimate relationships because he might struggle to get in sync with others. He gives little time or respect to anyone he sees as too “intellectual,” because he resists adapting to new ideas and viewpoints. In fact, an idea that rubs him the wrong way mentally and/or emotionally may elicit an explosive reaction. Self-analysis can be challenging for him and he tends to refuse to develop a solid, permanent idea of himself – and this plays a lot of tricks on him.
