Mind/emotions

Awareness, knowledge of, and identification with values and principles. Enthusiasm and elan in one’s efforts to implement one’s chosen goals and principles. Fervency and exuberance of expression; strength of personal presentation.  Uses willpower and resolve to master challenges and work for progress.  Conscientiousness in one’s efforts.  The goals of achievement, advancement, quality, progress and results are important motivational incentives.  Attempt to inspire others to join in the effort, attempt to convert them to one’s own viewpoint and highly valued principles.
Self-righteous certainty and self-justification in regard to the correctness of one’s opinions; feels self-righteously empowered to influence others.  Becomes overwrought from continued effort and need to uphold goals, principles, and one’s work performance; escalating nervous tension and strain, heightened nervous sensitivity (nervous breakdown).  May precipitate mentally and attempt to achieve high goals prematurely rather than taking one step at a time. During repose or rest, the mind grips ideas in regard to projects, with restless urge to put thoughts into action (insomnia).
Fanatic, rebellious, driven in pursuance of goals and ideals; religious fanaticism; urge for outward, expressive show.  Excitement of the mind; ecstasy; racing mind. The Vervain state constitutes the underlying, propelling dynamic in psychological disturbances and mental illness when there is forcefulness of personality and self-expression or manic or ecstatic states; (bipolar disorder, mania, problems with impulse control, delusions and psychoses with excessive fervency or ecstasy, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, and hysterical neurosis with excessive drive and tension and attempts to influence others).
