ABSTRACT
The thrills are proportionate to philobat's satisfaction in his skills, physical and mental, which enable him to make the journey. His pleasures therefore are partly in himself, in his own competence and power, and partly in the achievement which allows him to feel at one with objectless space. The ocnophil is a person whose pleasure is found not in journeying from one place or object to another but in being in one place close to an object which he needs and values. The ocnophil seems to have less satisfaction because even when clinging to his object he is never sure that it will not let him down. The ocnophils, never having overcome the difficulty of the time between satisfactions, have come either to deny its existence or to flee from anything that is reminiscent of the early difficulty. Both the ocnophil and the philobat aim at the same ultimate satisfaction, the restoration of the harmonious mix-up with their environment.
