BRIEFLY ABOUT THE BOOK

In Russian, the word “family” means “seven I”. In Russia they often write the word “family” through seven: 7I. But what is this ‘I’ in the word “family”, what are these ‘I’s, and why are they exactly 7? This will be discussed in the book.

The family is not just a collective connected by the bonds of marriage and kinship. Family – this is necessarily an established, strained team. If the characters are not flattened, then no ties of kinship and marriage will deter the family from breaking up.

Within any team, relationships are not built right away: you need to find your "place," take the "position," get the role. People, Wise life experience, they know that in the team they need to be "put." That means – tone of speech, gestures, poses, manners, behavior to declare claims to some "position." However, not everyone can like claims to this is a "position." In response, a person can "indicate his place." And they can and "put in place." And this will not be the place that a person wanted "put" yourself.

In the team there is a struggle for roles, "places," "positions." Disassembles occur and figuring out relationships. If a person is offered or imposed a role that does not match his character, he has mental discomfort. He seeks to change attitude towards himself, trying to change his position in the team. As a result, a person either achieves the desired role or comes to terms with the proposed role role. Otherwise, he leaves the team. They say: "I did not get along in the team." In labor collectives they say: "They did not work with him."

Collectives not only lose uncomplicated members, but also acquire new ones to vacant roles. If all vacant roles and occupations are filled in the team everyone's roles are satisfied, such a team is called strained, established. In total, the team has 7 "places," roles, "provisions." Therefore, the established lashed the team consists of 7 members. Hence the word «seven I» (7I).

7 roles of the team – this is an objectively existing phenomenon, this is a fact, observed by humanity throughout history and therefore reflected in the culture, traditions and religions of the peoples of the world. You can not fail to notice: when in myths and legends, fairy tales and sayings, it comes to the collective, always a number of 7 appears as the number of members of this team.

Roles within each of us. 7 roles are 7 internal Self, 7 psychical the beginning of the man, and the 7 roles of the collective are only a manifestation of the seven Self living inside each person.

The character of any person consists of a combination of the qualities of internal I, but their different ratio: the qualities of some I in character are greater, and others I'm less. Having studied the character warehouse, you can draw up a psychical portrait a man.

You can predict character compatibility, guess intentions, and people's actions, calculate life situations, but the main thing is knowledge about Seven I give an opportunity to understand myself, to turn the peculiarities of my nature to competitive advantage.

You can treat this book as you like, but first of all, you need it know. The lives of many people were divided into two parts: before this book and after her.

§1. SEVEN I

Honoring of 7 great wise men is peculiar to ancient cultures, for example:

– 7 Hellenic sages in Greece (their sayings were carved on the walls of the Delphic temple);

– 7 great Rishis in India (gods have opened for them Vedic anthems);

– 7 sages from a bamboo grove in China (characters of numerous stories and of paintings).

The novel “About SEVEN sages” in various reprocessing was known in the Middle East, Persia, Byzantium, Europe, and others.

The gods also live in the teams, so the ancient religions are characterized by the peculiar faith – the pantheons were made up of 7 supreme gods. For example:

– 7 great gods of ancient Egypt (Ptah, Ra, Shu, Geb, Osiris, Set, Gore);

– 7 supreme deities of ancient Babylon (Marduk, Naboo, Shamash, Sin, Ishtar, Nergal, Ninurta), which corresponded to 7 temples, 7 towers-ziggurats;

– 7 main gods creators (“deciding destinies”) in a pantheon of Sumer and Akkad;

– 7Immortal deities in ancient Iran (Zarathustra has got a revelation from them);

– 7 gods of Duke Vladimir’s pantheon in ancient Russia (Perun, Horse, Stribog, Simarigl, Mokosh, Volos, Svarog);

– 7 supreme gods-Olympians of ancient Greece (Helios, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus, Kronos, Artemis);

– 7 gods of ancient Ossetia-Alania (“Puryatsk Faith”, the sanctuary of Avd Zuari near Galiat in North Ossetia, the plot of the Nart epic “Gifts of the celestials to Soslan”);

– 7 gods of happiness and luck of ancient Japan (Ebisu, Daikoku-teng, Hotei, Jurojin, Fukurokuju, Bisyamon-teng, Benzai-teng).

The myth about the creation of people by the goddess Ninti from the ancient Sumerian epic “Atrahasis” is noteworthy:

Ninti pinched fourteen pieces of clay;
Seven of them she put aside on the right,
Seven put aside on the left…
The goddess has accepted twice seven childbirth,
Seven was born of a masculine gender,
Seven – a feminine gender.

It is possible to recall the Greek tragedy “Seven Against Thebes”, recall the 7 sister-pleiad daughters of Atlant, whom Zeus transformed into a constellation, 7 sons and 7 daughters of Helios, 7 Saint Old Testament martyrs (7 brothers Maccabees), 7 angels of the Apocalypse, but the word “family”, in which the number 7Is clearly contained, speaks more eloquently about the number of members of the team. The family is 7I (seven I).

The 7 roles of the team is a fact observed by mankind throughout history and therefore reflected in the culture, traditions and religions of the peoples of the world.

7I – UNIT OF SOCIETY

Family – it is not just the team connected by ties of marriage and relationship. Family – this is a compulsively established, lapped team. It is known: if characters in the family don’t get on well in any way, then there are no ties of relationship or marriage will keep the family from destruction.

Any team is not just a set of a certain number of members. The team has an internal device – a system of relations between its members. The relationship in the team is built up not at once. Each person needs to find his “place” in the team, everyone must take his “position”, should get his role. “Places”, “Position”, roles – this is all the same. The team has 7 “places” (“positions”, roles).

People, wised with life experience, know that in the team it is necessary to “establish” themselves. It means that with the certain behaviour one has to declare his claims for quite concrete “position” in the team. However, not everyone can like the claims regarding this “position”. In response, the others can “point to his place”. They can also put someone “in place”. And it will not be the place where the person would prefer to “put” himself.

In the process of lapping of people in the team, there is a fight between them for roles, for “places”, for “positions”. There are role arguments and showdown. If a person in the team is offered or imposed a role that does not fit to the certain mode of thinking, then he has a mental discomfort. He attempts to change the attitude towards himself, tries to change the position in the team. As a result, he either obtains the other role or accepts his role (“love comes with habit”). Otherwise, he has to leave this team, and then they say about him: “He didn’t get on well in the team”. In working teams say: “We haven’t worked well together with him”.

Eventually, members of the team get on well with each other and the relations between them are stabilized. The team with established and settled relationships is called a lapped, established team. In such a team all roles are occupied and, most importantly, the roles that are occupied suit all members of the team.

Each team attempts to become established and lapped team. As the team has 7 roles, the team wishes to consist of 7 members, from 7I.

If the team has fewer members than 7, then the team achieves to get members for unoccupied (vacant) roles, and if the number of members in the team is more than 7, then the team achieves to get rid of excess members.

They say that the family is a unit of society. It is true. Established, lapped team – this is a unit of society. Each established, lapped team consist of 7 members, of seven I.

LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS AND RELATIONS

Now let us talk about where the roles come from. By the way, everywhere in this book the word “role” is understood not as a role of theatre or cinema, but a psychic role.

People communicate with each other not only in the language of words, but also in the language of feelings (emotions, moods). And the language of feelings is a language of relations. It is not a coincidence that question: “What is your attitude to it?” – is always a question: “What feeling do you have about this?” Therefore, in reply, they tell of some feeling. They say: “I treat this with admiration (contempt, joy, pride, distrust, envy, hatred, ecstasy, horror, satisfaction, etc.)”.

Relations and, consequently, feelings, have a role nature. They, explicitly or implicitly, always connected with “places”, “positions”, roles. With the tone of speech, gestures, facial expressions, posture, by which people express their feelings and attitudes, it is possible “to indicate to a person his place”, and it is possible to “put a person in place.” Another thing is that in response you can hear: “What do you take me for? In what tone are you talking to me?!” Such a response means that a person does not like the role (that “place”) that he was given, does not like the “place” to which he is “put”.

Each feeling, except for strength (depth), has also a role direction. Each feeling is an attitude that is directed from one role to another. Experiencing some feeling, the person is in the role with which this feeling is connected. At the same time, referring to another person with this feeling, he suggests (points) him to take that role to which this feeling is addressed.

Example.

The sense of superiority is the attitude, reversed from the role of the Head-Idol to the role of the Victim. When you look down at another one, with superiority, then at this moment you are on the role of the Head-Idol, and you with tone of excellence “point the place” (you instruct to take the role of a humiliated Victim) to that person to whom you address with superiority. In response, you can hear: “In what tone are you talking to me?” What do you take me for?! What are you here pretending to be in front of me?” – This means that he does not like the “indicated place” (the role of the Victim), and he does not recognize your claim to the role of an Idol.

3 feelings are connected with each role (emotions, moods, state of mind). In the end, 7 roles are related to each other with 21 feelings, which constitute the basic set of feelings. From this set, all the vicissitudes of relationships and experiences are composed, just as words and sentences from the letters. There is a scheme of the relations between roles and role record of feelings which are actively used in the role theory of feelings and relations.

Any relationships are always the role relationships. Psychic roles are within each of us. 7 roles are the 7 beginnings of each person, those are his 7 primordial forces, those are the 7 “poles” of his soul, those are 7 “back streets”, 7 “snugs” of the soul. The 7 roles of the team are only the manifestation of the seven I, living within each person.

CHARACTER FORMATION AND QUALITY OF THE SOUL

But getting back to the team…

To become a part of the team, a person needs to enter the team for some role. The only question is, for which particular role? Usually, in the team, there are occupied roles, and there are also unoccupied (vacant) roles. And then it turns out that anyhow a role for a person does not fit. Not all roles are equally acceptable for him. There are roles that he likes, and there are those that he does not like. What does it depend on? – From the character formation.

People are different. Each person has his own character composition, his own set of spiritual qualities, his own peculiarities of character. Qualities of the soul, traits of character, peculiarities of character, the tendency of nature – all this same, is role preferences of the person. Each person attempts to occupy the most preferred role for them in the team or at least one of the acceptable roles to him. Another thing is that not always such roles are offered to him. It happens that those roles are already occupied by someone.

The most preferred role is the dominant of the character. It defines the type of character, therefore it is called as well the essence of the character, the essence of the soul or simply the essence of a person. Questions: “What is his character? What is his type of character? What is the essence of his soul? What is the essence of this person” are always a question about what role dominates in the character of this person.

The feelings connected with the role dominating in character generate the leading traits of character of the person. For example, the feelings connected with a role of the Idol – pride, joy and complacency; – generate the corresponding qualities of the soul: arrogance (superiority), idleness (hospitality) and laziness (self-complacency, self-content). If the role of an Idol dominates in character of the person, then those traits of character will be the leading traits of his character.

Of course, the character of a person is not reduced to the dominant of the character (to the most preferable role). Every person is familiar with all the roles, in every person, there is his 7I. However, in the characters of different people there is a different ratio of those seven I. Some I in the character are in a surplus, and others I is lacking. For example, there are people in the character of whose there is a surplus of selfishness and cunning, and heroism and self-sacrificingness is lacking. And others are different: arrogance, idolatry is excessive, and hardness and perseverance is lacking.

To find out the character formation of the person it is necessary:

– At first, it is necessary to reveal the prevailing roles, it is necessary to find out what qualities of roles (what “I’s) in the character are in a surplus and what – in a shortcoming;

– Then it is necessary to distribute the roles according to the degree of their preference for this person. The most preferred role is the dominant of the character (the basic “I” of a person), the less preferred role is his second “I”, an even less preferred role is his third “I”, etc.

As a result, it is possible to make a mental portrait of the person, i.e. a portrait of his soul.

7 heads of Rugevit

In the picture shows the ancient Slavic god Rugevit. 7 heads of Rugevit under the hat – this is the 7 of his I. The upper head of Rugevit is his basic I (the dominant of his character). Two heads below are two other roles that prevail in his character (the other two “I’s of Rugevit).

It should be noted that not only the Western Slavs worshiped to a seven-faced idol. The Nenets also worshiped their seven-faced idol Vesako on the island of Vaigach.

The idea of the seven I am clearly expressed in the petroglyph from Khakassia: a seven-headed creature is depicted on the stone and 7 people are next to it.

The petroglyph from Khakassia

7 ROLES – 7 TYPES OF THE CHARACTER

7 roles generate 7 types of character (7 psycho types). It happens like this. Having received a role in the team, a person gradually gets used to it and the role becomes familiar to him. Staying on the role does not pass without a trace. Together with the role, a person receives and a set of feelings connected with it, which begin to manifest in the tone of speech, in gestures, facial expressions and poses. Gradually they are getting fixed in manners and habits, and, in the end, become the features of his character. So the role becomes the dominant of the character of a person. The proverb: “Sow an act – reap a habit, sow a habit – reap a character…’, describes the process of transforming of the taken role into the dominant of the character.

Example.

It happens that the person has got the role of an Idol in the team. It means that all treat him with a honour, respect, awe. If the role of an Idol is acceptable to this person, then, being on this role, he does not feel emotional discomfort. Over time, having got used to the role, the one, as it is peculiar to an Idol, begins to look down at others, with a sense of superiority. The role of an Idol is fixed in features of the character. A person becomes arrogant, haughty, assumptive. He develops aristocratic manners. And he behaves like an Idol not only in the team where he was assigned the role of an Idol, but also among other people. He already can not and does not want to behave in another way. It means that the role of an Idol became a dominant of his character, became his basic I, became the essence of his soul. Such person will try to occupy a role of an Idol in any team. What if the role of an Idol is occupied by someone else? If there is already the Idol with all his dignity? They begin the fight for the role of an Idol in the team. They can’t stand each other. They have role conflicts and showdown. Everything will end when one of them will either leave the team, or will stop to apply for a role of an Idol – “will break off his hubris”.

There is a connection between the character formation of the person and the features of his body. For example, a good-natured joker is always describing fat, a cunning person with a long nose, and a smart guy with glasses. Speaking about the strong man, it is necessary to emphasize his simplicity, they will say: “Brains are not needed when you have power”. But the clearest connection of character with the features of the body is reflected in the word “grabber” and derivatives of it: “selfishness”, “selfish habits”, “self-interests”. The word “grabber” – although it is connected with fell (skin), but speaks about quite certain features of the character.

The connection between the body and the soul is not fixed. Not all idols are fat. Not all cunning people have a long nose. Not all clever people have weak eyesight. Not all athletes are simpletons. Not all grabbers have a sensitive fell (skin), etc. But all the same, the connection between the body and the soul exists.

Observed by people, and, therefore, the really existing connection of the person’s character with the feature of his flesh can be explained in a different way. However, only the fact of the existence of such connection is important for the understanding of the character formation, and its nature (the physiological mechanism) does not matter.

Well, now, at last, about the seven I – about 7 roles and about 7 types of character. Those are 7 colourful, well-recognized characters. Each person easily recognizes in them their relatives and friends and acquaintances, neighbours and colleagues. He recognizes himself, because 7 roles are 7 faces, 7 essences, 7 hypostases of each person.

The story of the roles is conducted according to the scheme: role – feeling – spiritual quality (features of the character) – behaviour (actions). In other words, feeling connected with the role, generates a spiritual quality (a feature of the character), which, in turn, generates actions and behaviour.
