In the process of human activity, the instances of his psyche (Fu Xi trigrams) dominate in turn. For example, a full cycle of instances dominance with observance of an harmonious, impeccable hierarchy of instances is the 076543210-cycle. Instance 1-Mind/Gen shows a sense of superiority and is able to deviate from the principle of impeccability and establish any other hierarchy of instances in the psyche.
Octanalysis notes that the personality of a person has a five-component structure, which includes
• three instances of consciousness 5-Soul/Li, 4-Heart/Zhen, 1-Mind/Gen;
• two instances of the unconscious 3-Irratio/Xun, 2-Ratio/Kan.
A complete cycle of dominance of personality instances with observance of an impeccable hierarchy of instances is the 543215-cycle.
A person with psychological problems, acting within Karpman’s dramatic triangle (instances 3-Irratio/Xun, 2-Ratio/Kan, 1-Mind/Gen), performs the 1321-cycle. The terrorist criminal operates in the 131-cycle.
4. Congenital dominance of Fu Xi Trigrams
The octanalysis method revealed the effect of congenital dominance of personality instances (Fu Xi trigrams) [4], which depends on the date of birth of a person and manifests itself to the same extent throughout a person’s life.
An analysis of people’s behavior shows that the congenital dominants of the personality (congenital dominant trigrams) most often dominate in the human psyche in the process of his activity.
Octanalysis notes that a person’s personality has a five-component structure. Depending on the date of birth, two to five instances of the personality may show congenital dominance. A person perceives the congenital dominants of his personality as virtues perceives as a talent and applies them to achieve success in his activities.
People in whom only two instances of the five instances of personality show congenital dominance, have a narrow range of professions choice, and they may also have specific problems of adaptation, both social and labor. Such people need psychological support.
Octanalysis has developed an octanalytic personality formula [4], which shows which instances of the personality show congenital dominance, and also characterizes the degree of their congenital dominant activity.
The Appendix describes in detail the procedure for compiling an octanalytic personality formula by date of birth.
