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

And from the narrow-minded point of view, there is nothing more unreasonable, than useless and dangerous climbing on the mountains or going in unnecessary campaigns. For the inhabitant, it is more reasonable and civilized to spend time in the summerhouse, in a rest home or in a resort near the warm sea. There is no need to jump in the winter to an ice-hole if you can spend time culturally and with dignity in the warmth and comfort at a good table.

People with fire in the soul are always directed forward, upward, into the “Houses in the Holy”. They live forever in the search for a new one, they grab for everything at once. Their eyes burn with a mischievous, “demonic” brilliance. They are maximalists – they do not know the measures in anything. They do not need a titmouse – give the crane out of the sky. They – “from the frying pan into the flame”. In their rules “to love – so the queen, to steal – so a million”, “to walk – so to walk, shoot – so to shoot”, “either the chest in crosses – or the head in the bushes”. In their aspirations, they are uncontrollable.

The life of a person with a heroic character is the “wheel of Fortune”. He can win, but can lose; can win in battle, and can be defeated, can steal a million and love the queen, and maybe lose his head. He is rich today, tomorrow is poor, and after – again with money. However, the prosperity, wealth, social position, the opinion of others, however, the very presence of opinion, as well as the lack thereof, does not interest the Heroes. And any result of their adventures does not matter to them: “Movement is everything, the goal is nothing”. Heroes do not appreciate what they did, and do not take care of what they achieved. People with a heroic character need only one thing – a feeling of an excitement, inspiration, courage, drive. And only for the sake of this feeling they ask for trouble, look for adventures on their own head. It is said about them “violent”, “rabid”, “irrepressible”, “restless”.

To the questions of the inhabitants: “Well, what do you want, why do not live as well as all? It is not seriously, unworthy. It is time to settle down and let the mind come”, – Heroes sometimes tell a legend from representations clear to inhabitants. They are talking that they need a fame, need money and other but in fact, Heroes do not need it all. The hero needs a storm and the intensity of emotions, and serene philistine peace, even furnished with all sorts of amenities, Heroes do not need.

Heroes are very passionate, addicted players. Everything for them in life – is a game. Any risk, any danger – no more than a game. And the more opponents in this game, harder it is – more exciting, more interesting. The war for them – this is also a game. Heroes are boys who have not played enough in their childhood in the war.

In clothes and life, people with a heroic character are tend to confusion. Their own appearance does not interest them. They can have clothes with spots and holes. It has been said that: “A Hero – trousers with a hole!”

After a walk children with a heroic character have their clothes torn, elbows and knees are broken, and they are wet and dirty. They only need to rush, rave and kick up a raw. Such boys always play in the war, and girls play with boys more than with other girls.

People with an ardent soul are different with a big passion, ardour of feelings. They have all the feelings of fire, painted with the ardour of the soul. If they love so love so much, believe so believe, hate so hate, are jealous so are jealous. They have everything over the edge, and all the feelings are also over the edge. They are hot but not cool-headed. For example, in “The song of the Petrel” together with a feeling of passion and an inspiration the Petrel splashes out both joy, and pride, and laughter, and anger…

The Hero’s role can also be called the role of the Passionate, and people, in whose character the Hero’s role dominates, people, with a passionate, ardent soul, can be called “passionaries”, from the Latin “passio” – “passion”. The term “passionary” was introduced by L.N. Gumiliov in the work “Ethnogenesis and the biosphere of Earth”.

All passionate, gambling, inspirational is called incendiary – incendiary dance, incendiary music. If a person does something with excitement, with a fire in his soul, then they say that he “lights”, “burns”. A person with a “fire” in the soul and eyes “burn with fire”, and he works “with a spark”.

Inspiration, passion, excitement, courage, drive – this is the very “ardour”, “heat”, “fire” of the soul. Incendiary is a property of a heroic character. People with a heroic character “ignite” who surround them, infect them with their energy, their passion and their flame. Others begin to act energetically as Heroes, although such behaviour does not suit them in this way and in Heroes absence they do not show creative activity, excitement and inspiration. The hero is the instigator. The child with a heroic character surely “will keep in toes” the group of kindergarten, a class of school, a group of a summer camp.

The ability of people with a heroic character to kindle others with the fire of their souls, to enthral the team is called “charisma”. All revolutionary chiefs and leaders were charismatic leaders – there are no other leaders in revolutions. Not for nothing they were called ardent revolutionaries.

Now the most spread character of the Hero-revolutionary with burning eyes – Che Gevara.

A hero is a guide, a leader, but not a “formal” one, not appointed, but a charismatic leader. They follow him not by order, not by coercion, not of selfish interests, but go at the behest of the heart, at the behest of the soul. They go to the end of the world. Help him with all affairs and endeavours.

Heroes find loyal friends in any kingdom of hypocrisy, meanness and hypocrisy. In fairy tales, unexpected helpers bring to the hero a mighty horse, give a magic sword and wonderful chain-armour, an invisible cap and speed boots.

A hero is an enthusiast, an initiator, a pioneer of affairs. If the team has not the person who is “burning at work”, then all affairs gradually fade and stop. Therefore, the core of the corporate philosophy of successful companies is the bet on the pioneer-enthusiast.

Boredom, melancholy, languor of the soul, ennui – this is another feeling associated with the role of the Hero…

Boredom (spleen) comes when everything is palled, tired, disgusted. Boredom is the main enemy of people with an ardent soul, with a heroic character. It pursues them always and everywhere. As Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin:

Boredom, spleen, “like a shadow or a faithful wife” everywhere chases them, and they flee from it “to the edge of the world”, get involved in any adventures – they seek adventure on their own head.

Boredom and inspiration – this is the “whip” and “cake”, which drive and attracts the Hero. He runs away from boredom and strives for adventure, for a new and unexplored, for a risky and dangerous, for what will give him a state of an excitement, an inspiration, winged sentiments, drive.

Tales of the peoples of the world tell of the exploits of heroes: tsareviches and princes. But here is the question: why do these princes and tsareviches not sit at home? Indeed, at home is a palace, a castle with chambers. There are servants, skilful cooks and soft beds. There are sycophants and saints, fans and idolatresses. It would seem: well, if he is itching to, then would jump around the castle-palace, and for the night – home to rest in warmth and cosiness, under the protection of high walls and guards. And at the gate is a crowd of admirers with laurels and raptures. And he – on a horse, wearing a hat with feathers, wearing gold-embroidered clothes, worthy and sensible.
