Summary

There is an ancient system of types that explains our compatible, incompatible, and maximum attraction relationships. We are born with these characteristics. The predominance of one of our endocrine glands produces both the physical and psychological characteristics of our type.

Maximum Attraction

Ancient psychology of type revealed

INTRODUCTION

The key to harmony and happiness

Why are we attracted to some people and repelled by others? Have you noticed that you sometimes enjoy certain people even though they have major character flaws, and that you dislike others who would seem to be of impeccable character? Do you intuitively know when an intimate relationship is not fully compatible, and are you constantly on the lookout for a more compatible mate? When you meet a person of the opposite sex, is there something in you that instantaneously evaluates that person for his or her potential as a sexual partner? Have you ever found a friend who likes you exactly as you are, and whom you like exactly as he or she is? Wouldn’t it be helpful to know whether you are compatible with the person you’re dating before having to suffer the inevitable breakup, or worse yet, marriage and divorce, with weekend visitation rights? Wouldn’t it be nice to avoid Willie Nelson’s pessimistic marriage prediction: “Find a woman you don’t like and buy her a house?”

What if we were to tell you that the relationship between Prince Charles and Princess Diana was doomed from the start, they were two incompatible types who would have struggled to find happiness together even if they had been born commoners and lived their lives far removed from the fishbowl existence of the British royal family? Granted, the glare of public life probably didn’t help matters any. And having a Queen for a mother-in-law (or a mother for that matter) can’t be easy. But as a couple, Charles and Diana would have been plagued with unhappiness no matter what. Why? The answer is deeply rooted in the psychology of type, the very same psychology of type that ensures Prince Charles and his second wife, Camilla, will live happily ever after. Charles and Camilla are maximum attraction types. They are, as they say, made for each other.

Remember the movie Titanic? It worked in every way a movie can: great love story, great filmmaking, and great acting. But what about that great acting? Was there something more to this movie’s love story than just bringing two talented and attractive actors together with a great script and a great director? What about that thing called “chemistry”? Is that for real (or for reel)? Indeed it is. And it, too, is rooted in the psychology of type. Like Charles and Camilla, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are maximum attraction types. Their steamy on-screen love affair was, consequently, all the more steamy and, more importantly, all the more believable.

Part of Shakespeare’s genius was his profound archetypal character descriptions. Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Shylock, and Falstaff are all examples of specific types, pure in terms of their characteristics and all the more powerful because of it. We are connected with all ages of humanity through our intuitive recognition of human types.

When we read about Falstaff, or Abraham Lincoln, or Hitler, or anyone else, we recognize certain characteristics that are similar to those of people we know today, and even of ourselves. We are recognizing characteristics of type.

There are six types. Three of them are compatible with our type and three are not. Of the three compatible types, one is our maximum attraction type. So we each have quite a few maximum attraction types out there, both men and women, who would complement us in every way, who would enjoy us exactly as we are, and who we would enjoy in the same way.

What my wife, Elena, and I are going to explain in this small book is ancient psychology. This knowledge has existed for hundreds of years but modern psychology knows little about it. We will explain some of the roots of this information in the chapter entitled “Additional Information.”

A distinction can be made between knowledge, experience, and understanding. What we are striving to share here is knowledge. When knowledge connects with experience, it produces understanding (that ah-ha feeling that we all know). Either knowledge or experience can come first. You may have already had the experiences that connect with the knowledge we are sharing, and you may immediately understand. Or you may read this knowledge and later have an experience that makes it real for you. This knowledge may even wait for years before it connects with some experience that will make it fully understood.

Elena and I received this knowledge over thirty years ago, so what we have written here comes mostly from our understandings. We will try to consistently make the distinction between what remains knowledge for us (theory) and what we have verified from our own experience (understanding). Two things make the knowledge offered in this book especially powerful. One is that these are not our ideas, they are ancient. The other is that these ideas can be verified. This is not a belief system. Each person’s personal verification of these ideas is what will make this knowledge useful. Over the years, Elena and I have had the opportunity of observing thousands of people in relation to their type. These observations have become second nature for us and an integral part of all our relationships. Each reader is entering upon a similar adventure of self discovery, of understanding others, and of appreciation for human diversity.

Each of us is born with three main predispositions: our type, our predominant center, and the level of refinement that we are attracted to. Together these account for most of our physical and psychological characteristics and will be the subject of this book. Our conditioning colors these predispositions to produce our behavior.

It is important to understand the distinction between essence and personality. Essence is what we are born with and what we will be describing in this book. It is deep-seated and does not change much over time. Personality, on the other hand, results from all the conditioning that we internalize throughout our lives. Personality affects our behavior, but essence is always the deep, underlying, determining factor.

The main aspect of our essence is type. There are six types, and they determine both physical and psychological attributes: our height, weight, shape, hair color, tendency toward balding, whether we are active or passive, optimistic or pessimistic, parental or youthful. The types are the Father, Warrior, Mother, Child, Nurturer, and Entertainer. We can be centered in a type or be located anywhere between types, in the order just mentioned. For instance, we can be centered in the Father or the Warrior Type, or be located anywhere between these two types, with greater and lesser characteristics of each type, depending on the location. The almost infinite variety that we see in humanity today, and throughout the ages, is in large part a reflection of these variations in type

The second aspect of our essence is our predominant center. The four primary centers are the Instinctive Center (the senses and all the inner workings of the body), the Moving Center (all learned movement), the Emotional Center (all feelings), and the Intellectual Center (all thoughts). From birth, one of these four centers is predominant. We see the world through our predominant center, and it influences both our psychological and physical characteristics. For instance, an emotionally centered person is apt to be interested in other people, music, poetry, art and other emotional phenomenon, and tends to gain weight easily. A fifth center, the Sex Center, will also be described in the chapter on centers. This center is active in everyone and is no ones predominant center.

The third aspect of our essence is the level of refinement that we are attracted to. Some people need highly refined objects around them, while others are comfortable with less refinement.

After reading the last three paragraphs, you may be wondering if certain types, predominant centers, and levels of refinement are superior to others. The answer is no. There is no advantage or disadvantage to being or not being any one type. Being more refined may seem logically to be better than being less refined. The tall, optimistic, active Father Type may seem to have advantages over the smaller, pessimistic, passive, cool and aloof Child Type. But we submit to you that, if viewed objectively, each type has its strengths and its weaknesses, and none is superior to another. As you read on, you will come to understand that, because there is an amazingly beautiful balance in human nature, each type, predominant center, and level of refinement is necessary and valuable. A balance is achieved between active and passive, optimistic and pessimistic, and adult and youthful types. Intellectual, emotional, instinctive, and moving centered people balance and complete each other. And varying levels of refinement provide people who enjoy every imaginable type of work. We are each a beautiful and perfect example of our essence, exactly as we are.

After describing type, predominant center, and level of refinement, we will explain how these characteristics produce compatible, incompatible, and maximum attraction relationships. We hope this knowledge will allow all our readers to understand their personal dynamics and their past, present, and future relationship
