In each of the levels of mental-emotional balance, a person of type eight may outwardly resemble a person of similar level of balance who is a six, a one, or someone between three and four. The blue lines, called lines of resonance, reflect these possible outward similarities.

In times of stress or confusion, an eight may experience the psychological traps of an unbalanced five. The red line, called the line of disintegration, reflects this tendency.

In times of balance and clarity, an eight has an opportunity to experience the best qualities of a balanced two. The green line, called the line of integration, reflects this opportunity.
