Heinrich Altherr
challenges and difficulties

Heinrich Altherr often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something he cannot name or specify, and he may have both: great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or oversensitivity is an important task for Altherr.

His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Heinrich Altherr may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to him. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Heinrich may tenaciously cling to his grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

His overall outlook on life is serious, and Heinrich Altherr may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his steps!

The side of Heinrich Altherr that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Heinrich finds it hard to relax. Heinrich Altherr may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. Altherr's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

He is quite cool and reserved in matters of love relationships and tends to hold back his inclination for love. Somewhat inhibited in regard to relationships, Heinrich Altherr is inclined to feel that he is better off staying by himself.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Heinrich Altherr instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Heinrich Altherr needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Heinrich Altherr's path lies in cultivating idealism and humanitarian feelings, being concerned with how Altherr's actions impact the world at large, perhaps becoming more aware of the social implications of Altherr's life style and personal choices or becoming active politically. Participating in organizations that support Altherr's ideals is one way to do this.

When under stress he is likely to become overly focused on himself and his own little world.

Instead of "how will this benefit or hurt me?" Altherr's focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

Ideally, Heinrich Altherr needs to strike a balance between doing for himself and doing for others, by discovering how Altherr's unique gifts can benefit others.

It is in his marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. He may see the qualities that he needs to develop more fully (described above) in his partner. It is important for Heinrich Altherr to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in his life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them himself. Heinrich Altherr has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about himself through others.

Not at all selfish, Heinrich Altherr has the ability to share the joy he feels with other people. Heinrich seems to have a gift for getting more reserved people to open up, teaching them how to give and receive love and affection.
