Handwritings that emphasize development of letter forms in zone 2 are characteristic of individuals who have not committed themselves to either the realm of spirituality or the plane of materialism. Their primary concern is with social relationships and transitory matters of the ego, with no real dedication or interest in the pursuit of the profound life. Zone 1 Traveling upward, we see that zone 1 symbolizes the abstract plane of existence. It is on this level that man rises above mundane interests and finds expression for the needs of his spirit and mind. Emphasis on forms which reach into zone 1 symbolizes the character of the spiritually and philosophically minded.
Letters involving the execution of stems and loops in the upper zone are b, d, f, h, k, l, t .
When the stems or loops of these letters are traced to extreme heights, they indicate that the writer's nature is dominated by mental processes which operate beyond the control of reason. Depending upon other characteristics of the writing, over-extended loops and stems are the signs of creativity, or of thoughts overshadowed by dreams and fantasy, ruled by illusion. Zone 3 Zone 3 is the area of material and sensual interests. Handwritings which place the strongest emphasis on formations in the lower zone reflect the orientation of individuals whose primary motives are self-preservation and satisfaction of those needs originating in the physical senses, including the sex drive. Letters requiring descending strokes into zone 3 are f, g, j, p, q, y, z .
