F.: In October of 2005, the following consideration was offered on this site:
Who could have cares if free of the fear of death and punishment, if free of the uncertainty of what happens when your body "ends," if free of the desire and hope for eternal reward, and if free of the constant struggle to meet man-made definitions of “good vs. bad,” “right vs. wrong,” and “moral vs. immoral” in order to get rewards both now and later? All of the struggling ends [when Realization happens].
Relatedly, the subject of today’s Personality Type comes to a very early and profound awareness of "death," of the transitory nature of the elemental body, and of wondering about “post-life” events. Today’s discussion will focus on the basic fear and the basic desire of Personality Type Five—“The Investigator.” Russ Hudson pointed out the following about Personality Type Fives:
BASIC FEAR AND BASIC DESIRE
The Type Five’s BASIC FEAR is the fear of being overwhelmed by reality
The Type Five’s BASIC DESIRE is to be competent and knowledgeable
THE IMPACT OF THAT PERSONALITY TYPE ON THE RELATIVE EXISTENCE
As a result of their early awareness of death and the transitory nature of the physical body, Type Fives focus on the relative world and its finite aspect and become overwhelmed by (a) knowing all of “this” is relative but without (b) understanding at all that which is “after this.” They can, therefore, become cynical and schizoid at an early age. They can feel as if they don’t belong…not to their family, not to their culture, and not even on the planet. They become acquainted with the duality of a sense of separation even as children. More sense of duality results and can leave Fives feeling...

WHY PERSONALITY TYPE FIVE INTERRUPTS HAPPINESS
In their quest to be seen as competent and knowledgeable, Fives develop a love of titles that reinforce the image of their being “experts” in one or more fields. That seeking of labels reinforces duality and blocks any effort to seek the “True Self.” They become “self”-contained instead of finding the Real “Self.” Focusing on a fictional, frightful “future” and on the finite nature of a body that has no continuity, how could any sustained happiness possibly happen?
FREEDOM FROM PERSONALITY TYPE FIVE EFFECTS VIA REALIZATION
Their independent and challenging nature can allow Fives to question not only what they observe but to question authority as well. That challenging of authority provides an opportunity to Fives—a chance to become free of the programming and conditioning that authorities impose on members of all cultures and that reinforce belief in concepts and ideas and dogma and all else contained in that unlimited pool of nonsense that has been dreamed up by men who would control. Fives' ability to observe with detachment can initiate their movement along a "path" to Realization that results in...
