Recognises the priority of non-physical qualities over external appearance. Self-love expressed through: quality nutrition, physical activity, learning, travel, self-development books and courses, health care, mental and physical hygiene, meaningful relationships. A need to reward oneself with pleasures that carry meaning in one's current value system.

Sees self as a physical body in limited material reality. Inner space identified with the ego. Self-love expressed through acquiring material and physical pleasures. Creates idols and tries to emulate them. Unaware of oneself as a spiritual being; no sense of one's unique self. Unable to define spiritual values or move toward them. Sees self only as part of a community — family, kin, workplace. Two extremes in relating to the body: constant dissatisfaction with one's appearance and a compulsive need for cosmetic correction — or brazen dismissal of any bodily care.
