English: Any social or state structure, as created and maintained by the people composing it, can be conditionally defined and described from the position of dominance in it of any part of the mental organization of the majority of its constituent individuals. In my previous study concerning the nature of the Soul, I conventionally divided the Soul of man into three independent from each other, relatively independent parts, which - when the question concerns the Soul of any woman and some men - are representatives of three different individuals, and in some cases - when the question concerns men who are the spiritual heirs of their fathers - they are representatives of two individuals (the highest part of the Soul - the Spirit, in this aspect I accept and consider it to be a separate individual).

    It should immediately be noted that extreme degrees of development of the social formations described below are very rare. Basically, there are formations of some mixed type, in which control is alternately assumed by different controlling parts of the mental organization of society. When a clear and long-term dominance of one of the parts of the Soul of a society is established, then such long-term arbitrariness of one of the parts - if in that case we are not talking about the highest part of the Soul - the Spirit - can over time lead the society controlled by it to painful and pathogenic stagnation and/or degradation.

It is also necessary to pay close attention to the fact that changes in any social structure can occur both in the direction of growth, development and improvement, accompanied by a steady increase in the degree of freedom of citizens and the general level of development of individuals, and in the direction of degradation of most of its individual members, accompanied by both a decrease in the individual responsibility of each individual member of such a stagnating, decaying, degrading society, and a general decrease in the level of development and responsibility of the entire society as a whole...

   Сразу же необходимо отметить то, что очень редко встречаются крайние степени развития нижеописанных общественных образований. В основном встречаются образования какого-то смешанного типа, в которых контроль попеременно принимают на себя разные управляющие части душевной организации общества. Когда же устанавливается явное и длительное доминирование одной из частей Души общества, тогда такое долговременное самоуправство одной из частей, — если в том случае речь идёт не о высшей части Души — Духе, — способно с течением времени привести управляемое ей общество к болезненной и болезнетворной стагнации и/или деградации.
