In theory Lev Gumilyov passionarnost presented as increased energy person who directed them to improve society, the survival of the ethnic group, where he was born.The high level of drive is diagnosed in a small part of people - from three to five per cent, and is the innate ability to absorb energy from the environment.
sources of drive:
1) Human Health.These children are born healthy, strong and active.In the course of life they practically do not get sick, and their energy is directed entirely on social activities.There passionaries compensatory type, when the disabled person stimulates the strength to achieve high performance in the various activities, becoming, for example, the Olympic champion and the organizer of the systems of healing.
2) Libido person.It is the energy of sexuality, love and desire for life.Passionary people have a high level of sexuality: they are attractive, active, cheerful, able to exercise strong feelings.However, they are not an exemplary family man, and their children are born, most often outside of marriage.If a person is sublimated sexual energy, it becomes capable of great achievements in politics, science or any art.
3) Aggression.In the theory of psychoanalysis, it is recognized as an attraction, which, along with the libidinal, has an innate power, and manifested in the activity of the individual.It varies its destructive and constructive views.Destructive aggression aimed at the destruction, the desire for destruction and constructive - a vital human energy directed at protecting themselves and others, to the destruction of the old to create a new, on the destruction of obstacles to the normal development of the ethnic group.
4) fear of destruction.Oddly enough, but it was fading in the development process on ethnicity pushes passionaries action.Fear of death is helping many people to show the potential of driving abilities, become political or scientific figures.According to Gumilev, it is in times of decay of ethnic groups appear passionaries able to revive this nation, or by means of the conquest of other territories or the introduction of new revolutionary ideas to its development within the existing structure.
manifestations of drive:
1) High risk appetite.The energy of a man of this type sometimes borders on the risk of their lives.Passionaries, described by the author, it is soldiers, generals, revolutionaries, rebels.Basically, the appetite for risk is inherent in men and women are responsible for the safety of the genus, so to take risks - not their function.Although human history has repeatedly described the cases of female passionate activity, but they perform the functions of men: Joan of Arc, Dolores Ibarruri, which has an alias passionaries.
2) contagious energy.Such individuals have a high level of passionate induction, ie,can infect your idea or the energy of all who fall into their field of influence.The energy of the person is able to accumulate and to discharge.Crowds subpassionarnyh people first "infected" energy leader, and then spend it in the direction and at the location where the pointed head.
Passionarnost - it's just the energy that has no positive or negative direction.Passionary can become violent criminals, the leader of the criminal group.Therefore, management of energy of a man who at birth exhibits high need and craving for activity, must take the parents and teachers, directing passionarnost socially positive activity, the development of society, not its destruction.
