Alice A. Bailey is, in many ways, an eternal child. Her mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and her attention span is often quite brief.

Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it is something she does well, is tantamount to drudgery for Bailey.

Alice A. Bailey lives in her head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and she needs mental stimulation every bit as much as she needs food and drink.

She is torn in two different directions. Alice has difficulty satisfying both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging.
