Seven I of soul. 7 roles of the team. 7 faces of the soul. 7 types of character (english edition)

SPIRITUALITY

The word “soul” often means not the whole world of feelings, emotions, moods and experiences, but only a part of this world – only exalted feelings. When they say that “there is a soul in this person”, they mean that this person has exalted feelings, that he has developed a “spiritual beginning”.

Exalted feelings are called spirituality in person. When they say that spirituality goes out of life, it means that there are less light, higher feelings in the world, less sigh, less aah, less folded eyebrows, less euphory, less admiration, less prayers, less eyes turned to the sky, less hands uplifted to the sky.

High feelings – this is spirituality in a person, it is holiness in a person, this is his feeling of sacred. If a person constantly experiences exalted feelings, then they say about him: “Ah! He is a saint!” – or – “She is holy!”.

Holy feelings are called religious feelings. Here is how the sacred feelings were described by Daniil Andreyev in the book “Rose of the World”:

As soon as I opened the front door, a warm wave of descending choral tunes poured right into my soul… The compelling force made me kneel although I did not like to kneel before: sincere immaturity prompted me to suspect earlier that something slavish was committed in this movement. But now the kneeling as it turned out is not enough. And when my hands have laid down on the shabby, trampled by thousands legs doormat, some secret door of soul opened and tears of incomparable blissful delight have rushed uncontrollably.

High, sacred feelings are an integral part of the soul, as well as other feelings. No one feeling (and including an exalted feeling) can be isolated from the soul, it is impossible to remove from the soul, it is impossible “to amputate”. Therefore people will always believe in God, will worship God. Therefore there always will be religions. There will be people and the organizations (churches, religious sects and communities) speculating on sacred, exalted, religious feelings for the purpose of getting the benefit. It is necessary to hope that in the future will be for them the relevant article in the Criminal Code – “religious promotion and kindling of religious feelings”.

The same sublime, holy feelings that people experience through praying to God are experienced by fans of some variety “star” or “adored father of nations”. Stars of the stage are also idols for their fans. This can be easily verified by viewing the relevant videos or newsreels. It is not by accident when someone admires and delights his idol very much, they say that he defies him, i.e., he is treated as God.

Servants of religions are not in vain called confessors and priests – cause they call to experience holy feelings, teach spirituality, teach to bow and pray. Holy, exalted, religious feelings are the emotional state of openness and absolute trust to “great”. In this state, a person needs to confess to someone, tell everything “as if confessing”.

The exalted feeling generates in a person openness and trustfulness – the sincere feeling of a small, defenceless and weak person in front of the “great good power” that protects and covers. This feeling pushes crying children into the arms of the mother, making them cuddle and not letting go of “the great and the good”. Therefore when children are sleeping, they hold the parent by the hand. With the same feeling, children ask to be taken on hands, and little puppies press close to the mother dog.

HORROR

Another feeling related to the role of the Victim is fear, horror, dismay.

Fear generates fright, trembling, shyness, fear. Constant fear leads to persecution mania.

There are people who say: “I am not afraid of anything! I do not know the feeling of fear!” They lie. Fear in the soul can be much or a little, but all the same though a little is present. The fear and horror are integral parts of the soul, as well as other feelings.

Another thing that people, who have a character with dominating role of Victim, live with constant fear in the soul. They remind a timid fallow deer with huge eyes. It is not for to say: “Fear has big eyes”. In general, every time when it comes about feelings and qualities of the soul of the person, with the character of the Victim, the eyes are always mentioned. For example, Pushkin’s Don Guan, telling about Ineza, recollected her eyes, her glance.

The person whose soul has got a fear is called dejected, flattened,” broken by the spirit”, stem-broken. They say: “Why do you go as dejected? Why do rush from every bush?” The fact that a person turned out in the role of Victim, that his “spirit is broken”, is evident from his horror and fear, and his tears.

A man who is shy and timid, is called weak. At the same time, there is meant not a physical weakness, but “weakness of spirit”. Therefore, the role of the Victim can be called the role of the Weak, the role of Bottler or the role of Victim-Bottler.

All religions exploit feelings connected with the role of Victim. Therefore, these feelings and moods were called “sacerdotalism and mental imbalance”.

Fear often accompanies an exalted feeling, for they are connected with the one role of the Victim. The fear that accompanies the exalted sacred feelings is called sacred trembling. Trembling and shyness accompany the feeling of exalted love: a wave of heat flashes to the lover’s face, he reddens, turns pale, unable to speak.

Fear and prayer often go alongside. Usually, a person turns to God and religion, when adversity and misery drive him to the role of the Victim, when fear and horror will break his pride, drive him off of arrogance, put him on his knees.

American general Dwight Eisenhower truly remarked that “there are no atheists in the trenches”. In the war, when bombs are bursting around, fragments are flying and bullets are whistling, the soldiers grieved by the horror, shrinking into a ball, pray: “Lord! Save! Take it!”. The same is done by the person exhausted with a disease. At a new attack of pain, he prays: “God! Do not leave me! Forgive me my sins and arrogance! Save and have mercy!”. On the same role of the Victim there is a student who in horror before exam puts to God a candle and prays: “God! Send me the happy ticket!”

SORROW

There is another feeling connected with the role of the Victim: sadness, sorrow, grief, despondency.

The sadness (sorrow, grief) is also called the feeling of despair and hopelessness. This feeling leads to emptiness and detachment, indifference and loneliness. This feeling arises when everything is “boring”, when everything is lost, when everything is already indifferent, when the person gives up.

As it is sung in the popular song of A. Makarevich:

 
There are days when you are giving up
And there are no words, no music, and no strength.
During the days like those, I parted with myself
And did not ask anybody for help…
 

In a state of grief, sorrow, despondency any philosophizing, all the words and intricacies seem to be inappropriate. In a state of detachment and emptiness, often appear the people who have experienced a strong shock, such as the death of the loved ones. It seems to them that all around is “all vanity of vanities and vexation of spirit”. One of the books of the Old Testament is devoted to the feeling of indifference – the book of Ecclesiastes.

In a state of emptiness, a person avoids society. He feels superfluous in any company, at any “holiday of life”. People with a character of the Victim are “superfluous people”.

The role of the Victim is the role of the unfortunate person. People are crying from the grief and misfortunes. People with a character of the Victim are whiny. Among the fairy-tale characters are Pierrot, Thumbelina, Princess Nesmeyana (Never Laughing Princess).

The role of the Victim is the role of an intelligent, knowledgeable person. And, as it is known: “much knowledge brings many sorrows”. “Woe from Wit”.

When a person walks around, bowing his head, they say: “Do not be sad, do not worry, do not despond – never give up, lift your head up!” I. e., he is offered to pass to the Idol’s role, since snuffling up the nose and raising his head – this manifestation of the feeling of pride connected with the Idol’s role. Or they tell him: “Smile, have fun!” it is also an offer to pass to the Idol’s role, because the feeling of joy and fun is also connected with the Idol’s role. And they say: “Give a wave of your hand to everything, look at your life through your fingers”, – and this is also an offer to pass to the Idol’s role as the feeling of complacency and carelessness is one more feeling connected with the Idol’s role.

Detachment is called thoughtfulness, the state of “internal emigration”, “immersion in yourself”, “falling into prostration”, a state of self-immersion and self-contemplation. They say about a person in this state of mind: “His eyes are unfolded inward. He looks in inside of himself”. They say: “He should stay alone with himself”.

Detachment brings an acute feeling of loneliness. “Superfluous people” say about themselves: “loneliness is my holiday”. An aching feeling of loneliness – this is the feeling of alienation from this world. It is also called nostalgia. Nostalgia – this is the feeling of left by everyone, the unwanted person for whom everything has failed, ideals have broken and nothing remains, except for bright memories.

This feeling is also called the feeling of fatigue and emptiness. When the person becomes tired of life, when he is exhausted with troubles and diseases, when he feels superfluous, he is striving to withdraw from the world, from life, i.e. there is a thirst for suicide. The feeling of detachment -this is a feeling of fatigue. They say sometimes about suiciders: “He is tired of life”. The craving for suicide is connected with the awareness of the meaninglessness, the vanity of one’s life. It is reflected in the popular song of S. Nikitin.

 
…The signors cried,
their wives and maids as well,
Dogs on sleeping ledges
and children in hands…
And it became so clear to them all,
so clear, so clear,
That life was all in vain…
 

Those who work in telephone services of rescue from suicide have been bothered for a long time with multiseries whining and snotty confessions of suiciders: “My life was vain… I am so lonely, left by all, unwanted… I have decided to commit suicide”.

The condemnation of suicide by religions is very important. It is be better when people go to church and pray to God there, than when they finish their own lives. After all, the feeling of loneliness and exalted religious worship are feelings connected with the same role – the role of the Victim. In the church in front of the icon, you can cry, pray, repent, open your soul and confess. Only for the sake of this, it is worth keeping God’s temples, prayer houses.

People whose character is dominated by the role of Victim are silent people. Being on the role of Victim, the person grows numb from admiration, from horror, despair, and emptiness. The timid four-eyed person, “botanist” or “swot”, as they tell now – this an excellent pupil who sits on the first desk in the classroom, and holds breath, listening to the teacher’s words. Silence, along with the glasses, is a distinguishing feature of smart people. There is a remarkable saying: “Keep silence and you will be like a smart person”.

Each person knows the feelings connected with the role of the Victim: admiration, fear and sadness. Another thing, some people have a lot of qualities of this role, others have very little. In the person who does not have feelings connected with the role of Victim, there is no wisdom, no depth. They say that he has nothing sacred, nothing pure. He is not capable of self-sacrifice. He does not know God, he is not afraid.

§9. KNOWING THE SOUL

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES (STYLE, VIEWS, ACTIONS)

Each type of character has its own characteristics: its own style, its views on the world, its actions. Through these features, the distinction between the 7 types of characters can be seen.

The character of a person is reflected in the style of his clothes.

– The Hero’s style – is an avant-garde if he has any style at all. Usually, Heroes are not interested in their appearance. They put on something that is closer. Dressed in the style of the avant-garde are those who pretends to be the Hero, who stylizes like the Hero.

– Grabber’s style – is a military-sports style (convenient and functional).

– Simpleton’s style – this is consumer goods (like everyone else has).

– The style of the Villain-Pedant is classic (strict style, noble simplicity, emphasized refusal of all excessive).

– The Idol’s style means splendour and luxury; it is bright and flashy colours to express his personality.

– The style of the Trickster is a gray unsightliness; this is the style of a spy.

– The Victim’s style is a gentle glamour and colours of innocence.

Each type has its own ideals and values.

– For the Hero – this is fire, passion, inspiration and ecstasy.

– For Grabber – efficiency, rationality, benefit.

– For Simpleton – loyalty, fellowship, unity and mutual assistance. To be without offenses.

– For Pedant – firmness and reliability, order and accuracy.

– For an Idol – prestige and success, joy and prosperity, dignity and self-respect.

– For Trickster – purification and justification, smoothing guilt, washing away stains of shame.

– For the Victim – mission devoted with light and high, self-sacrifice.

Each type has its own view of the world.

– For the Hero, everything in the world is divided into boring, fascinating and sweet. Simple for the Hero is boring, and difficult is fascinating.

– For Grabber everything in the world is divided into stupid, suspicious and desired.

– For the Simpleton, the world is divided into his own, aliens and incomprehensible.

– For the Villain, the world is divided into weaklings, clunkers, troublemakers and all that needs a serious attitude.

– For an Idol, everything in the world is divided into low, ridiculous and irrelevant, which can be waved.

– For Trickster, everything in the world is divided into awkward, shameful and ugly.

– For the Victim, everything in the world is divided into great, terrible and sad.

Each type has its own sin.

– The Hero’s sin – is inconstancy.

– The Grabber’s sin – is greed.

– The Simpleton’s sin – is stupidity.

– The sin of Pedant – cruelty.

– The Idol’s sin – is arrogance.

– The sin of the Trickster – is meanness.

– The sin of the Victim – is the despair.

The essence of each of the 7 types of characters can be understood from the person’s behavior in this or that situation.

During the booze…

– The hero tries to involve everyone in some adventure: “to go to women”, or to beat these or those faces.

– The Grabber “punches for treason”. He tries to hide in a different place the values («… the night is silent in Ukraine, but salo (pork fat) should be carefully hidden”). In the morning after drinking, he can not find his hidden things, but he discovers new things – somewhere on the way they have stuck to his hands.

– The Simpleton experiences offenses, tells how chiefs offend the simple people, but as a result, he will go with the Hero.

– The Villain first bores, but in the end can become angry and aggressive.

– The Idol first “punches the food”, and when he is satisfied, he begins to speak eloquently and boast.

– The Trickster declaims and constantly justifies himself. In this case, he almost does not drink, but pours the drink to others.

– The victim “cries on the shoulder” and tries to confess.

In a battle…

– The hero, having shot all cartridges in a fight fever, will rush with a grenade on the tank or will run in a bayonet attack.

– The Simpleton, driven by the feeling “We”, will run after his friend-Hero.

– The Grabber will save cartridges, so the entire stock of cartridges will not be wasted. After the battle, he will go collecting trophies. Will be engaged in looting.

– The Villain before the battle will long and carefully dig a trench, will carefully lay out the parapet, pedantically lay grenades into the dug niches. In battle, he will let come enemy close and hit at point-blank range, he will beat for sure so that no one could go. After the battle, he will kick off the wounded.

– The Idol will not be seen in the battle, but before the battle and after the battle he will give instruction to all and teach everyone, and after the battle he will invariably boast about his deeds, telling what could happen “if there was not him…”

– The Trickster will serve as clerk at the headquarters or adjutant of the commander and will not take part in the battle. The Trickster’s place in counterintelligence. He noses out spies.

– The victim will be paralyzed by horror and with humility will accept his fate.

Something like that will happen on fire…

– The hero rushes to rescue someone from the fire (the boy saves a plaintively mewing kitten).

– The Simpleton, driven by the feeling “We”, will run after his friend-Hero

– The grabber will try to take that what is left in an unsafe place.

– The Villain can try to bring some order to all this, and after the fire will make an investigation and will punish guilty persons with all severity.

– The Idol will instruct everyone, try to organize the extinguishing of the fire, but he himself will not approach the fire.

– The Trickster will not be near the fire, although later, perhaps, he will feel shame and awkwardness for his behaviour.

– The victim will be paralyzed by the horror of the spectacle. Will cry.

What they are looking for this in life…

– The Hero thirsts for fire, looks for the intensity of emotions.

– The Simpleton wants to join a team where everything is clear also without offenses.

– The Grabber wants to rationalize everything, to squeeze out of all the benefits, make money on everything…

– The Villain will try to restore order in everything with a firm hand.

– The Idol will do a show, a holiday, a carnival of everything with himself in a key role.

– The Trickster wants to see the game of the mind in everything, grace and delicacy of thought.

– The Victim has a thirst for beauty, which, in his opinion, should save the world. He wants beautiful and exalted.

This is how the new things appear.

– Everything begins with the fact that the mind of the Victim is illuminated by a bright thought. This “the four-eyed clever man” thinks out something new and tells about it to the Hero.

– The Hero-enthusiast lights up with a new idea and rushes to embody it. The new is always promoted by enthusiasts.

– The Simpleton helps his friend Hero.

– When the Hero cools to the new, the pragmatic grabber sets to work. He discards everything superfluous, simplifies, brings to working sample and sells profitably.

– The Pedant brings the construction to perfection, debugs it, and squeezes out of it everything that it is capable of. It turns out to be a masterpiece.

– An Idol, convinced that everything in this world is done only for him, beautifully boasts of how he uses this thing. How cool it is, how great it is. Grandstanding is the basis of PR-promotion on the market. The product becomes fashionable.

– The Trickster sings together with the Idol.

Each type reacts to adverse effects by its own body system:

– Grabbers react with skin (skin inflammations, scabies) or neuroses, nervous disorders.

– Pedants – malfunctioning or excessive activation of the excretory system (“broke through of sweat”, “a bad soldier before the fight has a diarrhea”).

– Idols – indigestion or nausea (“Ah! I can not eat!”).

– Tricksters – runny nose, asthma or exacerbation of allergy to odors.

– Heroes – fever, a breakdown of sexual functions. Heroes usually having caught the slightest cold have the temperature about 40°, and Pedants rarely have the temperature above 37.5°.

– Simpletons – heart diseases.

– Victims – reduction in vision.

AGE, SEX AND CHARACTER

A person’s character changes with age. Human’s organism is full of energy in his youth that’s why a hero character is peculiar to the young more than the old. Human’s heroism is a spirit of youth, the energy of youth. As the years go by the energy of an organism gets week and qualities of other roles start developing in a person’s character more and more.

When they say to a man: “When will you finally grow up? When will you start being serious about life? – it means they wait a heroic dominant will change to a pedant dominant. And if they say: “When will you finally grow up, leave your childishness, settle down and become solid, important and worthy one?” – It means they understand the word “grow up” as changing of a heroic dominant to an idol one.

A man who has “grown up” can’t let himself hopping, jump on one leg, play a ball with boys because “it’s not solid, you are an adult!” “Adult” has to be important, have to walk proudly, with dignity. Though the point isn’t an age but a role.

Heroes don’t grow up. They are reckless and inspired “boys” till their hair gets grey, till old age. It’s spoken about them that they have “a young soul”.

The Generalissimo Suvorov was quarrelsome like a boy till he died. To wake his army for the campaign he yelled like a cock and before the Rymnick battle, in the age of 60, didn’t think about how solid his deed was, he climbed to the top of the highest tree in order to look over enemies” positions. He behaved evidently not solidly, not worthy, like a boy. That’s why his soldiers believed him and fought and won.

Suvorov didn’t like having a role of Idol. When Russian forces entered into Milan Suvorov ordered his servant to wear a luxurious, tailored of gold and to bow before the public instead of himself.

Suvorov often said: “Signboard of fools is an honor”. That’s right. The more stupid the person is the more he tries to be in a proud pose, moreover, he cherishes a feeling of dignity, the more he aims to take a « central”, “main” role – a role of Idol.

When we get older energy of our organism becomes weaker, illnesses start attack a human’s body. That’s why many old people are identified with the role of Victim. They start more often think of God, the salvation of their souls, perishability of being.

…

There are no exclusively male and exclusively female feelings, only male and only female roles. Sometimes it’s talked about a man that he has a female character and about a woman she has a male one. It concerns to the fact there was an exact distribution of functions of males and females in a traditional community. Accordingly, there were “male” and “female” roles, emotions. There is no an exact distribution of role to “male” and “female” in the urban society. There became much more males with female character and females with male one in the modern society.
