DEAR AND FAVORITE MY RUSSIAN-Speaking AND RUSSIAN-THINKING BROTHERS AND FRIENDS!
THE TOTAL AND UNIVERSAL GLOBAL FALSE OF THE TIME END AND THE SOCIAL HAOS BORN OF IT IS READY TO LOOK UP AND WORK OUT OUR COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL MIND. AND ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE INTEGRATED TRUTH OF LIFE, TO GIVE US THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE - UNLIMITED LIBERATION FROM CREATED WALKS OF MINDLESSNESS, FOR CONSCIOUS RECREATION OF NEW INDEPENDENCES
List of layers of lies covering reality, in order of importance in the degree and depth of influence and cause-and-effect dependence of occurrence.
The first, by the degree of depth and significance of the influence on individual awareness, through conditioned collective consciousness, formed in favor of the dominant and imposed picture of the world created by the West, and at the same time the most imperceptible lie is a lie about the history of the development of mankind on planet Earth in this period of manifestation of its Cosmic life. This lie is elusive because as soon as we open our eyes in the morning, it first catches the eye of our mind in the form of a calendar hanging from our wall, and the serial number of the year that is depicted on it completely controls and determines our current perception of the World in general and ourselves in this world in particular. And in a real sense, this number has no relation to any real history. Its most catastrophic effect on the individual is that through conditioned, that is, deeply blocked perception at the subconscious level of the psyche, it cuts off a person from his personal internal flow of time, connecting him with his divine nature, that is, the nature of his soul and genetic information about his past, recorded and stored in the core of each cell of his body, access to which can confirm to everyone reading these lines, his own line of development of history 18 millions of years. As a result, being left without the possibility of realizing this connection, man turns into only a cunning and vicious trained monkey, acting exclusively in the sphere and under the control of animal instincts. A secondary derivative of this collective-individual pathology is a flat and superficial-linear perception by a person of his own life and life in general, social, natural, planetary or cosmic. As a result, there is a natural conclusion, if the Western picture of the world inside a human being has a monkey, which also applies to our national contour of the collective psyche, then, as can be expected from such a basis, the construction of an adequate human-oriented social structure, in the form of a modern-understood state, moreover, without even having an international (UN) level of an accurate definition of what it is.
In the unknown, for the Western-minded majority of the East, a completely different deep collective awareness of the fundamentals of life as a person and the whole world as a whole. In contrast to the two thousand-year history of the West, which is written on his forehead and playing in his sandbox, the East in its totality, has factual evidence of recorded historical chronicles of the development of mankind more than a century ago 20 millions of years. As an example, we can learn from some of the available excerpts of recorded chronicles that Egyptian culture, being the later colony of Atlantis, has more than one 260 000 In the years of its existence, the Babylonian chronicles are more 470 000 years of astronomical observations that the first catastrophe that destroyed the continent of Atlantis occurred 850 000 years ago, the Chinese, being the remnants of the previous race and the oldest culture on the planet, have 3- x million summer time tables, and Hindus accurate knowledge of the cyclopean periods of the solar system's lifetime as a whole. Therefore, in the east, knowledge about the real nature of man, about the source of his origin and about the glorious future destined for him is stored and preserved. Man, for the inhabitant of the East, is not a body, man is a Divine fivefold flame (Divine Manasa Putra - Divine Thinker) united - merged, at this stage of cosmic evolution, with the radiant Virgo (the totality of bodily organization).
To break through the contours of this lie, we need to find out who stole from us and why.
998 000 years of history.
The second circuit of lies, in the Western dominant picture of the World, which controls and determines our consciousness, both individual and collective psi field, itself has two poles that create conflict within any person and force in the course of life to engage in a deadly fight between themselves.
The right and left hemispheres of the brain within the human being are scientific total lies claiming to be the ultimate truth in all aspects of the formal side of life and ecclesiastical total lies claiming to be the sole possession of absolute truth regarding the meaning and purpose of life of the spiritual entity within the human being. In fact, the current state of things are two sides of the same coin.
Since the Reformation, there has been a tacit agreement between the Church and the scholars: “You deal with the spirit, we deal with the facts. And the facts are that life is a case, and the universe has no high purpose or reason.” During the last 2 000 Each side has had and has now its periods of absolute domination within the sphere of the human psyche, thus determining the type of external reaction to the process of life and the forms of behavior in the social environment in the process of life. Since, in the conventional sense, the Western "circuit" of history, has its boundaries since the emergence of the Roman Empire, the periods of domination of one side of the lie, cutting a person in half, are divided in the following proportion.
Since its inception in 29 E.g., up to about 560 There was a mixed period, because there was still the influence of the previous historical phase, in which the scientific method of understanding the form of God's clothing and the religious method of identifying with the essence of God in man was a single related process available to every person who wanted to devote his life to it, in the relevant educational institutions located in all regions of the globe.
C 560 After cutting itself off from the line of historical spiritual continuity and the actual betrayal of the foundations of the teachings of its founder, the church syndicate seized and imposed an absolutely dominant position in all spheres of human manifestation 1 100 years, while trying to physically destroy everything on the territory of the whole globe, which, at least, hinted or testified at all about the previous phase in the history of mankind. The brilliant beam is reliable, carrying the possibility of correlation of the impending catastrophic consequences of this state of affairs for Western culture as a whole, flashed into the air 988 in that historical moment for our Slavic culture, when through Prince Vladimir, the baptism took place Rus. During the ceremony, according to the rules of such procedures, a solemn sacred liturgy takes place, during which a transfer takes place; 1- e - ceremonial liturgical part of the teaching (faiths); 2-e - a set of sacred objects and symbols of teaching (faiths); 3- e - a set of sacred texts containing a description of the foundations and foundations of the doctrine (faith). So, the set of transmitted texts, the whole composition of which is known, but as if lost, included an album consisting of 72–x colored engraving tables, which were depicted in the order of historical succession, compositions and names of divine pantheons of all religions in the last 26 000 It was the year that established the line of direct religious continuity of Christianity and not a break link with a single world spiritual tree. But due to the surrounding historical circumstances, the beam only flashed and immediately plunged into the darkness of the surrounding ignorance and personal ambitions involved in the process of participants.
A catastrophic consequence of the dominance of this syndicate in the minds of all mankind is that as far back as 100-130 years ago, 99,99% people in the West were absolutely convinced that the world in which they live, would delight only 4 500 years, and after this one random and inexplicable painful of their personal life, they will have endless hell or paradise. And even right now, this situation has not changed much. What manifestation of behavioral reactions can be expected from a human being deprived of a connection in his consciousness with his divine nature and reduced to the level of a social life brutalized from constant beatings, locked in the cage of his mind of a barren monkey? The entire history of Europe
It is a never-ending war within, a fierce and insatiable aggression and a thirst for profit against everything around as its influence spreads and a deadly hatred of any cultural or historical heritage of peoples captured and destroyed on the planet. More terrible in its devastating consequences for all mankind, the Christian era can be compared only with the global flood.
The movement for religious freedom in Europe first advocated a limited and then absolute human right, guided by personal experience and enlightened reason, to determine the true meaning of the Holy Scriptures, the true Christian ritual and the way of the church. It proclaimed its demands with the same passion with which it rebelled against the usurpation, pretensions and cruelty of the ecclesiastical authority, which claimed exclusive knowledge of Scripture and, resorting to moral pressure and physical violence, sought to impose on the unruly individual consciousness its own arbitrary interpretation of the Word of God — unless, of course, the latter was transformed in such an interpretation into a completely different, substituting for its teaching. In its most restrained and moderate forms, this rebellion produced compromises such as unorthodox churches; then the heated passions brought to life Calvinist Puritanism; and the revolt of individual religious thought and imagination reached its highest pitch when sects such as the Anabaptists, Congregationalists, Socinians, and countless others appeared. In the West, atheism and the separation of church and state have become an inevitable and predetermined consequence of this movement. Having first questioned the conventional forms of religion, the mediation of the clergy between God and the soul, and the substitution of the authority of the Holy Scriptures for the authority of the Pope, the liberated thought could not go further and not doubt the Scripture itself, and then any belief in the supernatural, religious faith, or super-rational truth no less than in the formal doctrine and institution of the church.
For the evolution of Europe was determined more by the Renaissance than by the Reformation; its heyday in the Renaissance was due to the return and powerful rise of the ancient Greco-Roman mentality, and not to the Jewish and religious-ethical character of the Reformation period. The Renaissance restored to Europe, on the one hand, the free curiosity of the Greek mind, its insistence on finding the first principles and rational laws, the joy of intellectual investigation of reality by direct observation and individual reasoning; on the other hand, the broad practicality of Rome and its ability to bring life into harmony with considerations of material utility and common sense. On both these lines of development, Europe followed with passion, seriousness, moral and almost religious ardor (uncharacteristic of the ancient Greco-Roman mentality), which was owed to many centuries of the Judeo-Christian order. These were the sources to which the Western society of the individualistic age turned in search of that principle of organization and management which every human society needs and which in earlier times mankind tried to realize first by embodying fixed symbols of truth in life, then by creating an ethical type and discipline, and finally by establishing an infallible authority or a stereotyped convention.
The individualistic age of Europe began as an uprising of reason, its apogee was the triumphal progress of natural Science. This evolution was historically inevitable. At the origins of individualism there is always doubt, denial. A person suddenly understands that religion is imposed on him, which in its dogmas and rituals is based not on a living sense of spiritual Truth, proven at any time, but on the letter of ancient writings, the indisputable authority of the Pope, the tradition of the church, the abstruse casuistry of scholastic and pandits, conclaves of spiritual persons, clergymen, heads of monastic orders, theologians of all stripes, although you are the only ones.
They do not seem to consider it necessary or even permissible to look for anything, to check, to prove, to ask questions and to discover new things. He finds that genuine science and knowledge (which is inevitable in such a state of affairs) are either forbidden, punished, and persecuted, or are considered meaningless by virtue of the habit of blindly relying on unshakable authorities; even what was true in the old authoritative sources is no longer of any value, for they are quoted in place and out of place, but their true meaning is already lost to all, except, at best, units.
Starting from about 1 600 In a year, from under the asphalt of the church syndicate and in a deadly battle for the space of his life with him, began to break through the tree of modern Western science. In fact, burned under the root of the church syndicate of the historical field and, as a result, deprived of the thread of historical continuity of the essential meaning of its existence, science, in the person of its best representatives, began to invent soap bubbles of its theories about everything. Growing up, on its purely European field of ideas about the history of the world, European science had only samples of Arab scientific thought in its arsenal, which in turn received samples of its thought from the Greeks, and the Greeks transferred fragments of scientific knowledge received from the Egyptians. It is a historical fact that the developing European science in its youthful enthusiasm, unfortunately, did not pay due attention to its eastern older sister, which is a couple of tens of thousands of years older than it, and which, during its existence since extremely ancient times, has investigated all the laws underlying the related functioning of both the atom, various compounds, the kingdoms of nature, man, the planet, the solar system, and the great infinite cosmos. As a result, for the past 350 After years of development and formation of the foundations of its syndicate to this day, having climbed to the pedestal of absolute domination in the human psyche, modern science declared its theories a new deity and forced the whole world to worship them. Moreover, ignoring the already obvious facts of its complete lack of competence on all fundamental issues of human life, the existence of the World, the surrounding universe and death, while ruthlessly destroying or ignoring in its own environment, the timid voices of bright minds indicating to it the inconsistency of its basic postulates. A catastrophic consequence of the short historical phase of the life of this syndicate is that the perceived picture of the world through this projected prism by an individual is a chaotic kaleidoscope of unrelated contradictory opinions, mutually excluding theories about all aspects of life. As a result, in the human psyche, under such an influence, a nauseating effect steadily arises, forcing a person to refuse in his own mind the opportunity to understand the initially inherent sense of understanding the laws of life and the perception of the inner voice of common sense coming from his divine nature, and finally agree with the role of a trained monkey placed in a cage, to which the electric current is now excluded from the principle of a constant electric current.
It is evident that the unlimited freedom of individual knowledge or opinion, in the absence of any external criteria or any universally accepted and fundamental truth, constitutes a danger to our imperfect race. It will probably lead to constant fluctuations in thought and instability of opinion, rather than to the gradual manifestation of the true essence of things. Similarly, an attempt to achieve social justice by resolutely defending individual rights or class interests and desires can turn into a constant confrontation and confrontation.
The revolution and end with the exorbitant claims of each person or class to the freedom to live their own lives and to carry out their own ideas and desires, which will lead to a serious disorder and serious illness of the social organism. Therefore, in each of the individualistic periods, humanity must fulfill two main conditions. First, it must find a general criterion of Truth to which each individual would agree by virtue of his inner conviction, without physical coercion or the pressure of irrational authority. Secondly, it must reveal a certain principle of the social system, which will also be based on some generally accepted truth. What is needed is a system that can curb individual desires and wills by at least setting some intellectual and moral criterion for them; these two powerful and dangerous forces must be tested by this criterion before they can have any right to assert their claims. Taking abstract and scientific thought as a means, and the pursuit of social justice and reasonable practical advantage as the engine of the spirit, the progressive peoples of Europe set out in search of this knowledge and this law.
They found what they were looking for in the discoveries of natural science, and they were enthusiastic about adopting it. The triumphal march of European Science in the nineteenth century, its undeniable victory, which shook all the foundations, is explained by the absolute completeness with which it seemed to satisfy (albeit temporarily) the dual need of the Western mind. It seemed to this mind that Science had successfully completed its search for the two principles of the individualistic era. Finally, the truth of things was not dependent on questionable Scripture or misguided human authority — it was expressed in what Mother Nature herself had written in her eternal book, intended for all who have the patience to observe and the intellectual honesty to draw conclusions. All the laws, principles, fundamental facts of the world and of human existence could themselves confirm their truth, and therefore satisfy and direct the free individual mind, saving it both from capricious self-will and from external coercion. Laws and truths justified and at the same time restrained the individual claims and desires of man; science established the standard and criterion of knowledge, the rational basis of life, gave a clear plan and the main means of development and improvement of the individual and the whole race. The attempt to direct and organize human life by means of Science, law, truth of being, order and principles, which everyone can observe and test in their sphere of action and actual manifestation, and with which, therefore, he can freely and, in theory, must agree, became the highest achievement of European civilization. This was the achievement and triumph of the individualistic age of human society; but it is also likely to be the end of it, leading to the destruction of individualism, to its abandonment and burial among the monuments of the past.
For the discovery of universal laws by the individual free mind, in relation to which the individual is almost a side phenomenon and which must inevitably govern it, and the attempt to actually control the social life of mankind in strict accordance with these laws, seems to inevitably lead to the suppression of the very individual freedom that made both the discovery and the attempt possible. In his search for truth and the law of his own being, man seems to have discovered truth and the law not of his own individual being at all, but of community, crowd, anthill, mass. The result to which such a discovery leads, and which we are probably still inexorably moving, is a new order of society based on the principles of rigid economic or state socialism, in which the whole life and activity of the individual, again deprived of liberty in his own interests and in the interests of all mankind, must be determined, at every step and at any moment from birth to death, by the work of a well-established state mechanism. Then we can get a new curious modification (but having very important

The difference between the ancient Asian or even the ancient Indian way of life. Instead of a religious-ethical experimental criterion, a scientist, administrator and economist will take the place of Brahmin-Shastrakara. The place of the king, who himself observes the law and compels all, with the help and consent of society, to follow steadily the path intended for them, the path of Dharma, will be taken by the collective State, endowed with royal powers and authority. Instead of a hierarchical system of estates, each with its own powers, privileges, and duties, the initial equality of opportunity and the right to education will be established — ultimately, probably, with the distribution of social functions by experts who will know us better than we know ourselves and choose our work and position in society for us. The scientific State may regulate the marriage, birth and upbringing of a child, as Shastra did in ancient times. In the life of every man there will be a long period of work for the benefit of the State, governed by collective bodies, and at the end of it, probably, a period of freedom reserved not for activity, but for enjoyment of leisure and personal improvement, corresponding to Vanaprastha and Sanyas Ashram of ancient Aryan society. By its rigidity, such a state would far surpass its Asian predecessor; for the latter at least made two important concessions to the rebel and the champion of new ideas. The individual was given the freedom of early sanyas, the opportunity to renounce social life for the sake of a free and spiritual life, and the group had the right to form communities subject to new concepts, such as Sikhs or Vaishnavas. But a unitary society, living according to verified economic and purely scientific laws, cannot allow any of these sharp deviations from the norm. It is also obvious that it will develop a stable system of social moral norms and traditions and establish a socialist doctrine, the truth of which no one will be allowed to doubt, in fact and probably even theoretically, since such doubts can soon shake or even undermine the system. In this way we will have a new typical system, which, based on a purely economic law and function, hunakarma, will result from the suppression of the system of individual rationalistic conventions. And in the long run, this static system will inevitably be destroyed with the advent of a new individualistic age of rebellion, the driving force of which will probably be the principles of extreme philosophical anarchism.

On the other hand, there are forces that seem to be able to stop such a development or change its course before it reaches its menacing conclusion. First, rationalistic and natural science is obsolete and will soon have to retreat under the powerful pressure of psychological and mental knowledge, as a result of which an entirely new view of man will inevitably be established and new horizons will open up before humanity. At the same time, the Age of Reason is clearly coming to an end; fresh ideas are spreading around the world and are perceived with remarkable speed - ideas that inevitably prevent the premature establishment of any typical system based on economic rationalism; dynamic ideas, such as Nietzsche's "will to live", Bergson's "superiority of intuition over reason" or the latest trend of German philosophical thought, which recognizes the supranational abilities of man and the supranational. A different mentality is already beginning to form and are already looking for applications in practice such concepts that portend the replacement of the individualistic age of society not by a new typical system, but by an age of subjectivism, which may well become a great and fruitful transition to a completely different goal. And one may ask, are we already in the pre-dawn twilight of a new period of the human cycle?
Secondly, the West, in the course of its triumphant conquest of the world, awakened the dormant East and caused there an intensification of the struggle between the introduced Western powers.
individualism and the old conventional principle of social order. The latter, where it is fast and where it is slow, is being destroyed, but it may well be replaced by something quite different from Western individualism. Some, however, believe that Asia will repeat the European Age of Reason with all its materialism and anti-religious individualism while Europe itself will move forward, towards new forms of social life and ideas; but this is highly unlikely. On the contrary, everything shows that the individualistic period in the East will not last long, and rationalism and the rejection of religion will not be its characteristic features. And if the East, as a result of its awakening, follows its own path and creates a new social formation and culture, it will certainly have a huge impact on the further development of world civilization; we can appreciate the strength of its likely impact already by the significant results that the first influx of ideas from the unawakened East to Europe gave. Whatever this influence may be, it will not in any way contribute to the reconstruction of society into mechanistic-economic conceptions, a trend that continues to prevail in the consciousness and life of the West. The influence of the East will be reflected rather in the movement towards subjectivism and genuine spirituality, in the discovery of our physical existence to higher ideals than the healthy but limited goals that the gross material nature of life and body determines.

But most importantly, in his discovery of personality, the age of individualism in Europe formulated among the ideas-forces of the future two most powerful, which no subsequent reaction can completely eradicate. The first of these, now universally accepted, is the democratic conception of the right of every individual as a member of society to life and development in its entirety in accordance with individual capacity. We can no longer accept the ideal order of society in which individual classes assume the right to develop and enjoy all social goods, depriving others of this right and leaving them only the duties of social service. It has now become clear that the development and well-being of society presupposes the development and well-being of each individual member, and not merely the prosperity of the whole, which in practice amounts to the wealth and power of one or two estates. This concept has been fully embraced by all progressive peoples and is at the heart of the socialist trend of the modern world. But in addition to it, individualism has revealed another, deeper truth: the individual is not just a social unit; its existence, its right and claim to life and development are based not only on its kind of activity and social position. Man is not just a member of a community of his own kind, a hive or an anthill; he is already something in himself - a soul, a being who must realize his own individual truth and law, as well as fulfill his natural or intended role in the embodiment of truth and the law of collective existence. It requires freedom, living space, the possibility of active action for one’s soul, one’s nature, for that powerful and enormous force which society so distrusts and which in the past has tried either to suppress in general or to direct to a purely spiritual area, that is, for individual thought, will and conscience. If man is destined to finally fuse them into a single whole, then this whole will not be the dominant thought, will and conscience of society, but something higher - and he, like everyone else, must be able and help to freely ascend to this higher. Such is the idea, the truth, which, having won the intellectual recognition of Europe, unconditionally accepting its external, superficial aspect, converges in its innermost essence with the deepest and highest spiritual concepts of Asia and must play an important role in shaping the future.
In order to outline this contour of lies with short theses for a broad understanding, it is enough to point out that if there is no dominant religious paradigm
In the dominant scientific paradigm, there is no basis for the fact that all things have their being, and in those sections that do not concern each person directly, in psychological science there is no exact knowledge of what consciousness is, and in medicine there is no soul, then this whole worldview construction of the Western picture of the world, created and supported by the faithful servants of these two syndicates, is not buried in our head. The social planetary consequence of this state of affairs is our world, full of violence, unrestrained greed, total ignorance and depressing hopelessness of life for a person, balancing on the verge of self-destruction.
To confirm the above, everyone can give himself the trouble to study the history and texture of the actions of both syndicates and find the consequence of their conditioning influence in his own psyche, to free himself, to come to his own conclusions about the fundamental issues of his human and divine nature.
In politics, man sees everywhere the rights of God’s anointed, the well-established privileges, the sanctified tyrannies that do not hide their despotic character and refer to what has always been the case, but seem to have no right to exist. In public life, he sees the equally unshakable dominance of the convention, fixed restrictions in rights, fixed privileges, selfish arrogance of the upper classes, blind submission of the lower classes, while the former social functions, which once, perhaps, served as a justification for such a division of society, are either not performed at all, or are performed poorly - not by internal duty, but simply by caste necessity. And then a person rises up; any authority he must subject to critical reflection; when he is told that this is the sacred order of things, the will of God or the ancient ingrained way of human life, he must object: "But is this really so? How do I know that this is really the order of things, and not superstition and lies? When did God say so and not otherwise? Or how do I know that this is the meaning of His command, and not your error or fabrication, or that the book to which you refer is His word at all, and that He has ever proclaimed His will to mankind? And this old-fashioned way of thinking that you are talking about is it really ancient, is it really the law of Nature, or is it an imperfect product of Time, which has now become the most false of conventions? Whatever you say, I must ask, does all this fit with the facts of the world around me, with my sense of justice, with my understanding of the truth, with my real experience?” And if not, the rebellious man throws off this yoke, asserts his own understanding of truth and thereby inevitably undermines the very foundation of the religious, social, political and for some time, perhaps even the moral order of society, since it is based on the authorities he debunks and the conventions he destroys, and not on living truth, capable of successfully opposing his own. The defenders of the old order are probably right to seek to suppress it as a destructive force, a threat to the security of society, to the political system or to religious tradition; but it stands on its own and cannot do otherwise, for its mission is to destroy lies and lay a new foundation of truth.
Dear !
Allow me to offer everyone a basic glossary of the meanings of state political axiomatics in the sphere of state, politics, economics, philosophy, culture and education since its inception in Western culture. A precise understanding of the basis of the subject of judgments between all sincerely interested participants in the process is necessary for the mutually adequate construction of proposals for a state strategy.

The Wikipedia Strategy glossary (Greek: στρατηγία - "the art of the commander") is a general, not covering a detailed long period of time, a way to achieve a complex goal. Strategy as a way of action becomes necessary in a situation where there are not enough available resources to directly achieve the main goal. The objective of the strategy is to effectively use available resources to achieve the main goal. Tactics is a tool for implementing strategy and is subordinated to the main goal of strategy. The strategy achieves its main goal through the solution of intermediate tactical tasks along the axis of “resource-target”.
The strategy of the state is a strategy that determines the direction of changes in the balance of forces of social strata at a certain stage of historical development. Based on strategic objectives, the state maintains public order, regulates the activities of citizens and creates conditions for the development of personal initiative, protects the security, legal freedom and property of everyone, contributes to the development of certain moral guidelines in society.

Definition of State
For the year 2010, there is no legal definition of a state recognized by all countries of the world. The term is commonly used in legal, political, and social contexts. Currently, all land on planet Earth, except Antarctica and its adjacent islands, is divided between about two hundred states.
Primary source of definition:
Plateau Dr. Greek. 428 or 42 BC, Athens — 348 or 34 B.C., also an ancient Greek philosopher. The Greek State. ο ι εία — Plato's dialogue on the problem of the ideal state. Written in 360 B.C.E. From Plato’s point of view, the state is an expression of the idea of justice. According to Plato, the head of the state should be philosophers (class educators) of the upper class: only the wise can take care of the right way of life
all citizens. In dialogue, philosophers are clearly defined for the first time as people who are able to comprehend what is eternally identical with themselves (idea). The rulers-philosophers during the 52-years of education, improve their special talent. Wisdom must unite with power, in their person.
This dialogue also contains a systematic and brief critical analysis of the six forms of the state (the ideal “state of the future”, which does not yet exist, is not included in it). The ideal state should be built on the foundation of the truth about the essential and functional identity of the cosmos and man, according to the prototype-model - the natural cosmogonical heavenly divine reflection of the hierarchy manifested in the structure of the solar system worlds.
Here is the scale of the types of state (from best to worst):
• monarchy (the just power of one man) • aristocracy (fair power of the minority, the best citizens) • Timocracy (Unfair power of the majority - military leaders,
Dear citizens)
• oligarchy (unjust power of a minority, rich people) • Democracy (both fair and unfair power
majority)
• Tyranny (unjust power of one man) Dialogue is structured in such a way that it seems to analyze the ideas of justice and good - as fundamental ideas for the author - on the example of the state as suitable for analysis and at the same time quite high and general.
The definition of the state given by Grotius (On the Law of War and Peace) reads as follows: "The state ... is a perfect union of free people, concluded for the sake of law and common benefit." Such a definition is borrowed by Grotius from Cicero, through Augustine. However, the essential characteristics of the state acquire a somewhat different meaning from Grotius, uninhabited by Cicero. Thus, “right” is now understood by him not as “community instinct”, which is “a reflection of the higher Mind”, but in purely legal categories (primarily as the right of private ownership of any property). "General use" is also understood by them not as in antiquity (the implementation of a higher idea), but rather rationally ("general tranquility").
The modern State is a developed national structure of social organization of personal and social human relations in society, operating in a limited territory.
The state has certain
By means and methods of applying power within society, determines, establishes and maintains a certain order of relations between members of society involving the entire population in its activities in the territory. The order of relations between members of society and the use of power is determined by: the constitution, laws and other laws.

(or classes) whose professional occupation is the management of the general affairs of the whole. In the Russian language, the concept of “state” is often confused with the political power that governs the general affairs of an organized society.

Aristo Tel Dr. Greek. Ἀρισ ο έ ης; 384 B.C., Stagir — 322 BC., Chalkida, the island of Euboea is an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist. Plato's Disciple.
Aristotle was the first thinker in the nascent Western culture to create a comprehensive system of philosophy that encompassed all areas of human development - sociology, philosophy, politics, logic, physics. Aristotle, relying on the results of Plato's political philosophy, singled out a special scientific study of a certain area of social relations in an independent science of politics. Politics is the science, the knowledge of how best to organize the joint life of people in the state.
According to Aristotle, man is a political being, that is, a social one, and he carries within himself the instinctive desire for “joint cohabitation.” According to Aristotle, people can live only in society, in a political system, because "man is by nature a political being." In order to make a good social life, people need politics.
There are two principles in man: biological and social. Already from the moment of his birth, a person is not left alone with himself; he joins all the achievements of the past and present, the thoughts and feelings of all mankind. Life outside of society is impossible.
The first result of social life Aristotle considered the education of the family - husband and wife, parents and children ... The need for mutual exchange led to communication of families and villages. That is how the state came into being. The state is created not for the sake of living in general, but to live, mainly, happily.
According to Aristotle, the state arises only when communication is created for the sake of a good life between families and childbirth, for the sake of a perfect and sufficient life for oneself.
The nature of the state is “ahead” of the family and the individual. Thus, the perfection of a citizen is determined by the qualities of the society to which he belongs - who wants to create perfect people, must create perfect citizens, and who wants to create perfect citizens, must create a perfect state.
Music theorist, presumably
Abu Nasr Mohammed ibn Mohammed ibn Tarhan ibn Uzlag al-Farabi al-Turqi, commonly shortened to al-Farabi in Latinized form, Alpharabius, 873—950, was a philosopher, mathematician, Turk or Persian origin. One of the greatest representatives of medieval Eastern philosophy. Al-Farabi is the author of commentaries on the works of Aristotle (hence his honorary nickname "Second Teacher") and Plato. His works influenced Ibn Sina, Ibn Baju, Ibn Tufayya, Ibn Rushda, as well as the philosophy and science of medieval Western Europe.
A number of socio-ethical treatises of al-Farabi are devoted to the teaching of public life ("Treatise on the views of the inhabitants of a virtuous city", "Book on achieving happiness", "Indication of the ways of happiness", "Civil policy", "Book on war and peaceful life", "Book of studying society", "On virtuous morals"). Drawing on the political and ethical ideas of Greek philosophers, especially Plato and Aristotle, and using the social ideas of the ancient East, al-Farabi developed a coherent theory of social structure.
At the head of virtuous cities are the rulers-philosophers, acting simultaneously and in the role of leaders of the religious community. In good cities, true happiness is sought for all inhabitants, good and justice prevail, injustice and evil are condemned.
Al-Farabi’s Virtuous City. Abu Nasr Muhammad ibn Tarkhan al-Farabi (870-950), known as al-Farabi and celebrated as “the Second Teacher after the great and unsurpassed Aristotle!” He was among the earliest major Arab thinkers who, following Plato and Aristotle, established that philosophy had come to be divided into two
Interdependent but equivalent parts: theoretical and practical. Moreover, if the theoretical part of philosophy includes all the sciences (which is why the opinion about it as a science of sciences, or the “queen of sciences” is rooted!), then the practical part of philosophy has a direct connection with practice, with the behavior of people and man in society. More precisely, it is about the connection of practical philosophy with politics, defining and predetermining it. Hence follows one important circumstance, “unseen”, or carefully suppressed, in due time by Soviet science and philosophy. It is easy to see that the whole history of man is accompanied by an appeal to philosophy as a guiding star. It turns out that philosophy and only philosophy (falsaf - Arabs) from early childhood awakens in a person curiosity, the desire for knowledge, but this is not enough for her! It is with the knowledge of the environment, the world, that the need arises to know the meaning of life, one's place in it, and, therefore, the knowledge of oneself. A certain part of people (sages) begins to form a “philosophical life”, which requires from homo sapiens and appropriate behavior in the framework of newly acquired knowledge. And it is she who requires the creation of suitable conditions for a person for his first tolerable, and then “happy life” in the Virtuous City (by “the City” al-Farabi and other Arab thinkers understood both the city and the state, and another association of people for living together, in a word - society, society).
In al-Farabi’s Virtuous City, as in Plato’s State of Justice, the population is divided into three main categories: artisans and merchants, guardians and guards, and philosopher-rulers who establish the City’s laws. The latter are brought up in virtue and are therefore ready to see and develop only virtuous qualities in everyone. Clearly, the philosophy of the Virtuous City could be built upon the philosophical understanding of humanity already available in ancient philosophy. Thus, like the Greeks, Farabi distinguished in the human being a rational soul as well as a bodily organism. Yet there is a small but significant difference that many researchers, for some reason, pass over indifferently. In Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, the dominant idea is that human beings can improve only by perfecting their Rational Soul. Farabi, however, introduces another active principle into the account of the human being: the Active Intellect.
Active Mind - that was the basis of the Virtuous City of al-Farabi. and through the Active Law-makers could count on making the population of all strata virtuous and happy ...

Happiness? This is virtuous behavior. How does this knowledge come about? It is understood by the theoretical art, which gives a true knowledge of existence, is philosophy. The practical art that "corrects deeds and guides souls to happiness" is politics. They should exist in unity as a philosopher-politician in two persons. Philosophy and politics in their unity give both the desired knowledge and the desired behavior.
Education,
The philosopher believes that there must be some ideal human union that does not exist in reality. This idea that in the beginning there should be a City Project, ideal in form, which then, as knowledge is comprehended, should be gradually filled with proper content.

The ideal Virtuous City of al-Farabi is a community of people who have accurate knowledge of true happiness and the ways to achieve it and act in accordance with this knowledge. On the other hand, there is the "aspect of rationalism of Farabi's concept". It is the construction of the Virtuous City that affects the City itself and its parts of the Universal Active Mind. It is he who, as it were, helps the formation of the human mind, transforming it from potential to actual, from possible to actual. In addition, he constantly directs the inhabitants of the city through contact with him the leader of this ideal association.

Al-Farabi Virtuous City is organized on reasonable principles, united space and the human body and soul. And this is the "specific" feature of al-Farabi's rationalist approach to socio-political issues, and with it the entire Arab-Islamic philosophy, on the formation and development of which he had a decisive influence.
The line of cosmic unity, also inherited from the ancient era, was realized as the “unity of being” gravitating towards pantheism, well known in philosophical and ontological terms. But the idea of cosmic unity received another refraction, putting its noticeable imprint on the socio-political views of philosophers. It is a question of universal harmony, which must be obeyed by society, and therefore, it is also about the "divine management" of the affairs of the universe, which must be mastered by the governor of the city. Al-Farabi, in his writings and the structure of the human body, constructs the idea of the unity of society (Grad) and space. This idea becomes a fundamental principle of socio-political reflection in all its creative heritage. It turned out that this principle was preserved in all Arab-Islamic philosophy of the Middle Ages.

Organization of Life
We see a somewhat different picture in the Treatises of the Pure Brothers, who followed al-Farabi on the topic of improving the affairs of human society. The essential difference is that in their "Treatises" they did not find any application at all to the Active Mind as such, but raised it above all spiritual teachers. They focused their efforts mainly on the issues of religious education and pedagogy, calling it the spiritual improvement of the citizens of the city. Hence the name - Spiritual City - a society, especially organized on religious principles.
“You must know, brother, that even two men will not unite for a cause unless their union has a reason for keeping them in this position. And as long as this reason remains unchanged, they will remain in their former position. And if this reason disappears, they will disperse as they were united before, and in the place of friendship there will be disagreement. Thus they address the reader of the Treatises and explain to him the essence: "After all, one person is capable of no more than an unhappy life alone, and for a happy life he needs the existence of a variety of crafts. But none of them can be reached by a single person. Life is short, and there is a lot of work. Therefore, in every city or village, many people come together to help each other. Divine wisdom and God’s care have made one group of people engaged in crafts, another in trade, another in construction, another in management, another in science and learning, and another group in serving everyone and fulfilling their needs. As with our reality, as if there were not that thousand years that have passed since then...

And the Spiritual City of Pure Brothers is also a complex education. The authors of the Treatises vacillate between interpreting it as a “kingdom not of this world,” as a purely spiritual, spiritual union, on the one hand, and a concrete unification of people on earth, on the other. Its structure is similar to the structure of the universe, it is an integral part of the cosmos. The Pure Brothers describe it as the Tree of the Ideal Society, sprouting from heaven into the world. “The Lawgiver, with his brothers and supporters, and those who come after until the Day of Judgment, are all like the Tree from the Lawgiver’s point of view. He, his supporters and associates are the shoots and branches. Those who come after them will be like adults. Those who come after are the leaves, the flowers, the ovary and the fruit... The law-giver is the leader of the Spiritual City.” "Know," write the Pure Brothers, "that there is no such group united for the sake of some cause, religious or secular, wishing that this deed was done correctly, and the group itself was on the right path. - There is no such group without its leader, leading it, uniting it, preserving order in it, caring for its condition, warning it from decay,
I'm spoiled." If the members of the group cooperate with each other, support each other, then they become as if one body and soul, form a whole organism. Then the leader becomes the head (head) of this organism, and the members of the group become its organs. Pure Brothers distinguish between two types of leadership - "corporeal" and "spiritual". The first, which is characteristic of the rulers and tyrants, is the power only over the bodies of people through violence and injustice, as a result of which people are enslaved and forcibly used by the rulers and tyrants. The second, i.e. "spiritual" is characteristic of those who, by implementing divine laws, guarantee the achievement of people subordinate to such leaders, happiness in the afterlife. The following is a description of the main features of the spiritual leader...
“Naturally, the head of the Spiritual City is the spiritual leader. The first spiritual leader of the city is the founder of the city - the Lawgiver. He must possess twelve innate traits, such as:
1. Perfection of the organs, allowing him to perform the intended work. 2. He must quickly understand what is being addressed to him. 3. Having a good memory. 4. Possessing the mind. 5. It is good to express your own thought. 6. Love science and spare no effort for it. 7. Be honest and friendly with your subordinates. 8. Not to be greedy for material and bodily goods and
pleasure.
9. To be generous and noble. 10. Being indifferent to wealth. 11. Love justice and hate injustice. 12. To be persistent in achieving the goal.” The twelve features of the Lawgiver, or the First Chapter of the Spiritual City, as represented by the Pure Brothers, are exactly the same as those that the Al-Farabi considered necessary for the Head of his Virtuous City, since the corresponding passage in the "Views of the Residents of the Virtuous City" textually coincides with the listing of the features of the Lawgiver in the "Treatises". In this - and Pure Brothers. Undoubtedly a striking difference only in religious dogma. “Know, O brother, that God will sustain you and us with his spirit, that we have brothers and friends scattered throughout the countries of noble and worthy people. Among them is a group consisting of the children of lords, emirs, viziers, secretaries and tax collectors. Among them is a group of children of noble people, village elders, merchants. Among them is a group of children of scientists, writers, lawyers and religious figures. Among them is a group of children of artisans, those who earn their livelihood, honest people

kinship
It is no accident that the Pure Brothers gave all their attention to the young, because they are most sensitive to the perception of spiritual values, because their souls are “a blank piece of paper on which nothing is written.” And if something is written on this sheet, right or wrong, then the place is occupied, and it is difficult to erase what was written and write down something new. No wonder the first who did not recognize the prophets were old people. Therefore, the Pure Brothers appeal to the reader, "You do not have to deal with decrepit old people who from their youth took bad opinions, bad customs, wild morals. You're gonna get tired, and they're not gonna think about getting any better. If they change for the better, they will not be happy. You must take care of the young and the well-to-do, those who seek knowledge, those who are interested in the sciences, those who wish to follow the path of Truth and another life, those who believe on the Day of Resurrection, those who live according to the laws of the prophets, those who seek the secret meaning of their writings, those who have left vanity and disputes without malicious intolerance to other directions.
In the community of Pure Brothers, all its members are trained in accordance with the universal principle of learning. "Know," they write, "that the law-givers are the teachers, the educators, and the instructors of all men. Angels are the teachers of law. The teacher of angels is the World Soul. And her teacher is the Active Mind. The teacher of all things is the Supreme God. ... Thus, knowledge is a condition for entering the Spiritual City. “No one can enter this city until his knowledge is equal to our knowledge.” The Pure Brothers community itself should be seen as an association that prepares specially selected and trained people to enter the Spiritual City. A special place for them was occupied by the teaching of the soul.
The Pure Brothers tirelessly repeat that the "science of the soul" is the first and foremost of the sciences, with which learning should begin. "The beginning of all true sciences is man's knowledge of his soul," and therefore the soul must first be known, since only through its knowledge can the truth of spiritual entities be understood. How can you believe a person, they believe, who does not know his own soul, but talks about things far away as if they were known? “He who claims to know things, but does not know his own soul, is like one who feeds people, but remains hungry, who treats others, and is sick, who dresses everyone, and is naked.”
Pure Brothers are characterized by a figurative-mythological style of thinking, combined with a scientific (adjusted for the era) approach to certain aspects of reality. And they are preceded by Al-Farabi. Their Treatises were not so much an encyclopedia as a textbook designed to educate future citizens of the Spiritual City. ... The pure Brothers, by their research, strengthened in people who thought that society could be transformed by educating all its members without exception. This humanistic idea will receive a complete development in the work of the last of the luminaries of the forge - Abu al-Walid Ibn Rushd
The humanistic orientation of the whole falsification lies in the fact that both al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Baj believed that the unification of people is necessary for achieving happiness, prescribing an active and active social position to the thinker. Here they followed the tradition that developed in a developing and dynamic at first medieval Arab-Islamic society, in which "knowledge without appropriate action was undesirable, even more so unimaginable." And when it was necessary to choose - knowledge or action, philosophers gave preference to the right action. Al-Farabi’s preference for a person who does good deeds is known compared to one who knows Aristotle’s philosophy. The primacy of virtuous action before knowledge is also evident in Pure Brothers. But all this, we repeat, in those extreme cases when the problem of an unambiguous choice between knowledge and action arose. The common position was to preach the unity of true knowledge and correct action as a condition for normal social existence.
However, some kind of
The “individualistic” tendency is found in the work of almost all philosophers preceding Ibn Tufei. But this tendency, as we were able to see, was entirely a socio-political idea of falsification: to be subordinated to the leading achievement of a truly human goal, it is necessary to unite them in a society transformed on a reasonable basis.

contributions to natural philosophy and pantheistic trends XVI. Unlike the modern Italian humanists, he turned in the development of philosophical questions not so much to ethics, but, like the Scholasts, to the problems of the world order. Traditionally understanding God as the creator, the "form of all forms", the German thinker made extensive use of mathematical likenings and the dialectical doctrine of the coincidence of opposites in order to illuminate the relationship between God and nature in a new way. Nikolai Kuzansky brings them closer together. Emphasizing the infinity of God, he characterizes it as an “absolute maximum”, while noting that any definitions of it are limited. The world is interpreted as a kind of “deployment” of God. The essence of their views, the broadest of which are pantheistic

Residing
Philosophical foundations from Plato and Neoplatonism to the mysticism of the Middle Ages, Nicholas of Cusa expressed in the formula "God in everything and everything in God." He also pays much attention to the problem of the place of man in the world. Depicting all the phenomena of nature as interconnected, he sees in man a “small cosmos”, outlines his special central role in the created world and the ability to embrace it by the power of thought.
Extremes Finished

He had a significant influence on European politics of his time. Biographers point to his religious tolerance, the preaching of freedom of Papist thinking, attempts at absolutism. Nicholas of Cusa was the first philosopher of modern times, anticipating many ideas and methods of mathematical natural science and developing trends in his work that have not lost their relevance to the present time. The dialectical tendency was expressed by Nikolai Kuzansky in his desire to cover all the things and events of world life in unity and wholeness - an infinite "maximum", which does not reduce to anything concrete and separate and surpasses it, but at the same time is reflected in separate things. This "maximum" is at once an infinite "minimum", since the integrity of the maximum does not allow for any division ("Scientific ignorance"). It is in general a coincidence of opposites (coincidentia oppositorum), which Nicholas of Cusa treats in very diverse ways, including as the principle of negation of negation ("About no other", 1462): the absolute, "not another" is the "other" "other", which defines itself and the other, exceeds both affirmation and negation, being "the affirmation of a single maximum" is treated as a higher achievement. The mathematical tendency of Nikolai Kuzansky manifested itself - in the ontological aspect - in the idea of the coincidence of a triangle, a circle, a sphere, and in general of any geometric figure with an infinite straight line with an infinite length of their sides or diameter, and vice versa; the infinite figure obtained with such a coincidence is the "form" and "sample" of any particular geometric figure. Nikolai Kuzansky owns seven special treatises on mathematics. Using the method of infinite approximation in determining the quadrature of a circle, trigonometric calculations, and calculating the number p, he was one of the predecessors of mathematical analysis of 17 centuries. Anticipating the cosmology of N. Copernicus, Nicholas of Cusa taught that the earth, like any other celestial body, cannot be the center of the universe; he proved the infinity and eternity of the world. He dealt with problems of experimental natural science (for example, an experiment with determining the weight of a growing one made a geographical map of Central and Eastern Europe.

The unfathomable absolute existed concretely in things and was reflected by them, so that the knowledge of these things, being an endless approximation to the truth enclosed in the absolute, is realized by means of "guessings", or "suppositions", a priori creative acts of the human mind ("De coniecturis", 1440). The symbolic-mythological tendency was expressed by Nikolai Kuzansky not only in the idea of a living hierarchy of the cosmos, but above all in the symbolic multidimensionality of his entire style of thought.
Everything in the universe is not only a part of it, but also a reflection of it. The infinite is reflected in the multitude, and each thing reflects God and the whole universe.
God is the absolute maximum, the unity that unites all differences and opposites. In God everything, all numbers, all possibilities, all movements, as well as everything that happens and is in time and space, are curtailed.
For N. The Kuzan creation is the unfolding of God, the infinite is drawn into the finite, unity is drawn into the multiplicity, and eternity is at a time: "What is hidden in the soul of the world, as in a tangle, unfolds and takes on its dimensions."
Nikolai Kuzansky has a dynamic understanding of the world as a living, animate organism, parts of which are not only in constant universal connection, but also in motion. Movement is universal, everything passes from one state to another, everything tends towards infinity, and this desire for man turns into an endless search, into the process of man’s ascent to Eternity.
Nikolai Kuzansky describes the ideal of free and noble
person embodying the essence of world natural harmony.
The Absolute (or God) is good, light and beauty in the infinity of its inexhaustible simplicity. In its absoluteness, goodness, light and beauty are incomprehensible, they cannot be depicted or imagined, they cannot be said about, they cannot be pointed out. To become comprehensible, beauty must manifest. In order to manifest in something concrete, absolute beauty “descends”, i.e. remaining itself, loses only its absoluteness and acquires concreteness.
However, despite the fact that concrete beauty is still the same absolute beauty, and nothing else, concreteness in it is beauty. Concreteness, to be concrete, must be different every time; in this innumerable multiplicity, the light of unity fades. Thus, the world, “created” in beauty and light, having nothing but beauty and light in it, is plunged, nevertheless, into darkness. Being light, beauty and goodness, he loses himself in the darkness of countless specifics and, as it were, plunges into the slumber of unconsciousness. Thus the potential wealth slumbers in the peasant’s field, and the peasant does not see this wealth, because at first glance, they are not there; although there is no such thing as wealth.
He will plough and sow the field, raise cattle, plant a vine, and the riches of the field will wake up.
The function of the revival of light, eclipsed in the concreteness of the world, Nikolai Kuzansky devotes to the human mind and human soul. Let all nature slumber in the sleep of passivity and unconsciousness; let many people who have no strength to seek, knock, and create content themselves with their belonging to nature. But he who seeks and acts receives, in addition to the natural gift he received with his birth, the second gift of light.

originally by Gottfried Leibniz during 16 2-1716 Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm (1646-1716), German philosopher, mathematician, physicist, linguist. Since 1676 in the service of the Hanoverian dukes. Founder and President (since 1700) of the Brandenburg Scientific Society (later the Berlin Academy of Sciences). At the request of Peter I, he developed projects for the development of education and public administration in Russia.
Among the outstanding features of Leibniz's discoveries in the physical economy were, first, his development of the idea of thermal machines, and, second, his concept of technology. The first relates to the increase in the average productive power of labor in society as a whole through the use of thermal machines. The second involves the increase in the productive power of labor, which entails the application of the principle of the design of the experimental apparatus of scientific discovery to tools, product design, and the mechanization of production. One result of this is to increase the physical productivity of society per capita, even without increasing the consumption of thermal energy per capita.
Leibniz also devoted much time to the teachings of Confucius. In particular, he compares the philosophical positions of Confucius, Plato, and Christian philosophy, concluding that the first principle of Confucianism, "Lee," is Reason as the foundation of Nature. Leibniz draws a parallel between the principle of the rationality of the created world, accepted in the Christian worldview, the New European concept of substance as a recognizable, supersensible basis of nature, and the Platonic concept of the “higher good”, by which he understands the eternal, uncreated basis of the world.
Consequently, the Confucian principle of “Lee” is like Plato’s “higher good” or Christian God.
A follower and promoter of the metaphysics of Leibniz, one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment, Christian Wolf inherited from the teacher a respectful attitude towards Chinese culture and, in particular, to Confucianism. In his work "The Speech on the Moral Teachings of the Chinese", as well as in other works, he repeatedly stressed the universal significance of the teachings of Confucius and the need for his careful study in Western Europe.
Certain aristocratic and financial-oligarchic forces joined together and mobilized to eradicate the influence of the Leibnizian science of physical economics. The most important of these forces, until about 1783, were the so-called physiocrats. The Physiocrats and after them, Smith, Marx, Mill, and von Neumann, were all opponents of Leibniz in science in general and in political economy in particular. Locke's model of society is key to understanding common axiomatic misconceptions in their conomic systems.
The key to an accurate reading of the economic dogmas of Smith, Bentham, Thomas Malthus, Ricardo, Marx, and Mill is the social doctrine of John Locke. In Locke’s system, society is a mere accumulation of a large number of discrete units — Neo-Aristotelian particles, which are people entering into polymorphic confusion, which is essentially characterized by the fact that the behavior of each of these particles is motivated by nothing but three primary impulses: to stay alive (life), to strive for sensual pleasure (freedom) and to satisfy greed (property). For Locke, there are no “innate ideas.” With the exception of a living, extremely immoral enthusiasm for the satisfaction of greed, the individual is born as a “tabula rasa.” This definition of "human nature" by Locke serves as the axiomatic basis for Bentham's "hedonistic calculus" and later for von Neumann's radical positivist doctrine of "system analysis," among others.
Each of these formal systems, represented by Smith, Marx, and others, and all of them together need to apply mathematical methods no more complex than the system of linear inequalities considered together. Marx's models would not be as crude as von Neumann's prescription, but there is nothing essential in his Capital that is not covered by this general system. For this reason, the mathematical form of the ideas of each of these political economists (from Smith and Marx to von Neumann and his admirers) gives rise to a zero-growth model. Perhaps all that we have just talked about about the differences and similarities between Marx and John von Neumann was in the minds of Cambridge's Joan Robinson and Nicholas Kaldor, when they mixed a little Marx, a little John Maynard Keynes and a little von Neumann to prepare a personally poisonous Cambridge dish system.
export analysis to Moscow through the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
The essence of these relationships is that systems that can be represented in the form of linear inequalities, considered together, describe only “zero-growth systems” or, more precisely, entropic processes. Consequently, the application of successful efforts aimed at regulating any physical process according to the standards of this mathematical system will impose a non-entropic form of degeneration on the physical process itself. We must add that even processes that are not actually entropic, if they are under the control of such a system, will either degenerate in doing so, or will throw off such control due to complete destruction.

which mathematically represents the entropic process, if used to control society, will lead any society controlled in this way to entropic ruin. This is the key to understanding the current collapse of both the former Soviet and Anglo-American systems.
Certain aristocratic and financial-oligarchic forces joined together and mobilized to eradicate the influence of the Leibnizian science of physical economics. The most important of these forces, until about 1783, were the so-called physiocrats. Later, beginning in 1763 and during the heyday of British political power, William Petty, second Earl of Shelburne, "adopted" Adam Smith as an agent of the British East India Company, engaged in opium smuggling and slave trade. Smith's purpose was to study the work of French and Swiss physiocrats to create a plan for the destruction of the national economy of both France and the English-speaking colonies of North America. Smith's apology for the morally undesirable practices of the British East India Company, entitled "The Wealth of Nations", appeared in 1776 as a Shelburne-supported anti-American treatise. To a large extent, Smith's book was not only plagiarized by the published works of leading French physiocrats, for example, Turgot, but also contained additional trade" intended to destroy the economies of France and English-speaking North America. Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Mill, von Neumann, and others are all direct descendants of John Locke’s axiomatic model of political economy, proposed by Adam Smith, an agent of the British East India Company.
The Dogma,
" Free
Harmful
Of all these anti-Leibnitz economic dogmas, only the physiocrats allowed true profit for society as a whole, and then in the most eerie form. For Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Mill, and von Neumann, profit is something taken by one person from the pocket of another in the form of, for example, trading profit, usury, or some notorious speculative deception, such as today's "junk" bonds. In Von Neumann's language, for them, as for today's
Malthusians, the economy is just a giant year-round casino or a game with n-players and zero amount.
The American Declaration of Independence was based on Leibniz's "desire for happiness" as opposed to Locke's "persecution of property." Similarly, what became known to the world as the anti-British American system of political economy was set in motion under President George Washington by a report in the layman spirit of the American Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, "On Manufactures" and by additional policy decisions on credit and national banking, which were then covered in Hamilton's reports to the American Congress "On Public Credit" and "On the National Bank." The Leibnizian system of political economy, which Hamilton prophetically described as the basis of future reality, corresponded to a truly non-entropic model, the opposite of the entropy schemes of Smith, Marx, von Neumann and Norbert Wiener.

In fact, all governments have been destroying the planet for decades because of their patient attitude to the generally accepted academic understanding of economic science. Meanwhile, it has long been proven that such a universal understanding is actually an interstate agreement on mass suicide. The mathematical statistics of “air fluctuations” that have been legalized in the minds, which have replaced the real physical economy today, plays the role of a global instrument of mass murder, man, humanity and the nature of the planet.

To understand how the world economy entered the spiral of collapse of the last 30 years, it must be recognized that this collapse was born solely from the impact of those ideas of zero economic growth that were introduced as axioms in the thinking of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, and more recently in the system analysis introduced into the economy after 1938 by radical positivist John von Neumann. It must also be admitted that, contrary to popular belief, the economist Karl Marx was a follower of the British school in almost all relevant fields, not just a fan of what he often claimed to be the unquestionable scientific merit of this Smith-Richard school. It is also remarkable that virtually all of the

This influence, exerted through channels such as Lord Zuckerman’s International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Jermen Gwisciani in Luxenburg, Austria, did not cause the collapse of the Soviet economy. However, it was obvious to those of us who observed this impact at the time that British system analysis was being used through IIASA and other channels to target Moscow, which definitely turned a blind eye to many of the relevant figures USSR the true causes of the disaster then in the process of aging.

and
To understand the specific relationships between bad economic theory and systemic collapse, we will now consider, in order of succession, two interrelated aspects. First, we must discover how the claims underlying British economic dogma since the time of the XVIII century have taken root in today’s policies of most governments and universities around the world. Secondly, we must strictly reconcile the axiomatic relationships between certain classes of ideas and the material impact of these ideas on economic practice. Only from this dual point of view can one understand the critical economic meaning of modern systems analysis, including how this radical version of the teachings of Smith, Ricardo, Marx, and others created the ongoing global economic collapse.
In both of these aspects of the subject under consideration, its most critical distinguishing feature is the fact that the formal side of economic learning, which influences the formation of both Soviet and Western policies, has been derived from a doctrine that formally admits of no economic policy incompatible with the result of "zero growth."
Let us briefly consider the definition of axioms. Later we will determine how the unscientific axiomatic assumptions of the British East India Company’s Haileybury School became generally accepted in leading academic institutions around the world in the twentieth century.
Thus, for example, Norbert Wiener’s assertion that Boltzmann’s mechanistic model is a model of the principle of living processes is mere sophistical quibbling. By the time Wiener wrote his Cybernetics, a well-established, rigorous distinction existed between two types of systems: entropic and non-entropic. The formal history of this distinction begins with Plato’s treatment of the unique possibility of constructing regular geometrical solids. In modern science, Plato’s argument was developed by Luca Pacioli and Leonardo da Vinci, and became the chief distinguishing feature of Johannes Kepler’s work. The fruits of Plato’s, da Vinci’s and Kepler’s work received a new foundation in Leibniz’s analysis situs (analysis of position) and in the important later work of Gauss and others in this field. The refinement of Mendeleev’s periodic table through research in the early XX century, up to the 1930s, into nuclear radiation, nuclear fusion and atomic fission made clear what we must mean when we express, empirically and mathematically, our commitment to maintaining a rigorous formal distinction between living and entropic processes. Applying the concept of “negative entropy” (negentropy) to non-entropic processes as merely statistical entropy reversed in time was therefore nothing more than childish wordplay. Wiener’s application of Boltzmann’s statistical theorem to defining the general principle of human communication and living processes is brazen sophistry and deception.

The value of infrastructure, production and family market baskets of basic physical goods corresponds to what modern practice calls “system energy”. The desired increase in the ratio of total output to the “energy of the system” embodied earlier in the production process functionally corresponds to the relative “free energy” of this society as a process. The relation of this "free energy" to the "energy of the system" correlates with the productivity of this society, considered as a whole.
Human cognition for more than 2 million years up to the present day is a continuous process of accumulation of successive revolutionary-axiomatic discoveries. Looking back at the shorter distance, the European culture of recent millennia, we can trace almost everything that we know about the roots of modern science, starting with such early discoveries in geometry as the Pythagorean theorem, the principle of exhaustion of Eudoxus and Plato's interpretation of the correct polyhedra. With less accuracy, but with full confidence, we can trace some features of the development of science, going back to the times and regions preceding classical Greece. It is mainly about creating solar

In general, we can prove geometrically that every step in the realization of even these more distant discoveries was nothing but an axiomatic discontinuity with respect to any attempt at a formal representation of a previous state of knowledge. We also know that such discoveries are characterized by a consistent ordering, although not necessarily necessary counting, of the predecessor.

Humanity must determine its relationship to the universe in accordance with how the first chapter of Genesis accurately defines the power that is given to man and the responsibility associated with it as the master of this temporal universe.
This is a well-understood precept and, therefore, it is a knowable truth that binds the Gentiles as well. The incontrovertibility of this truth is suggested to all intelligent people, for we are able to convincingly show how the power of the creative mind of an individual distinguishes humanity from all other inhabitants of this temporary universe and places it above all of them. So this truth is a perfectly understandable principle, which Gottfried Leibniz called “natural right”. It is the basis for the legal recognition of universal morality, which even pagans are forced to accept.
Just as the individual must be responsible for both the entire human race and his own behavior, we must all constantly evaluate our society and ourselves in all our activities and existence. Thus, reason tells us that we must act in accordance with this kind of implicit as well as specific requirements of universal natural law.
This use of the term "responsibility" allows us to consider it as a synonym for the well-established term "knowledge". This is the knowledge of the connection of mankind with the temporal universe. For each of us, this determines our personal relationship to the process of the influence of our entire country and humanity as a whole on the connection with this universe. This means that there can be no true knowledge without such a sense of responsibility for humanity as a whole, a feeling that is transmitted to us by the power of the creative mind.

We have considered this side of the subject of the study of physical economics against the background of the impending global collapse, the inevitable, apparently, global fall into the looming emptiness of global “new barbarism”, into the emptiness that means the extinction of all civilization known to us so far.
Let us dwell on some of the visible manifestations of the crisis, which seem to be the most important from the pedagogical point of view and which have so painfully affected the personal destinies of many ordinary citizens of different countries.
The growing smell of something resembling the apocalypse does not allow us to blame the ever-increasing troubles of the modern world only on a small group of politicians or other similar “scapegoats”. The problems we face are not the result of “mistakes”. The failures in the definition of policies that now cover the entire planet are systematic, universal axiomatic. This crisis shows that almost the entire human race has failed; the current crisis is caused by the type of aggregate public opinion that has engulfed the whole world, all countries, all strata of society and practically reached every person.
Although we might attribute “guilt” to someone (in the sense that we can show how this matrix of pathological opinion has come to govern almost the entire planet from top to bottom), we are not allowed to excuse the unintentional behavior of a citizen who hides behind the expression “innocent because of ignorance.” Perhaps these types of popular and populist opinion are due to their blind ignorance or succumbing to hypocritical suggestion. But his support for such a dogma, or even his simple tolerance of it, condones crimes against humanity, which were precisely caused by such beliefs.

The direction and significance of the argument is as follows. If the catastrophe caused by society is due to the intention of a few who use principles unknown or intolerant by the majority of society, then it is necessary to determine the mistakes that must be corrected accordingly. However, if the disaster occurred because of beliefs that received support, or at least patience, in the public opinion of the majority of the adult population, then the majority of the country’s population will be the culprit. We must emphasize that in this case the situation cannot be corrected without exposing the criminal nature of those parties of public opinion that are accepted by the majority of this society.
Where does the global impact of those ideas that have been the basis of the self-destruction threateningly looming today over all countries and peoples, including the United States? By the way, there is nothing convincing to prevent the denial of the spread of John Locke’s views through political victories.

The British Empire, beginning in 1763, determined the selection of those whose influence predetermines the onset of popular ideas, modern global devastation. As an example of such influence, we can cite the former British colonies, which established their nominal political freedom, but at the same time manage their own countries “quite independently” under the influence of ideas axiomatically based on the multicultural principles of British empiricism.

This post-industrial dump, which was Britain after Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher. Could anyone, faced with such a string of facts, be so naive as to insist that the world’s devastation is being exploited for the benefit of the Celtic-Anglo-Saxon population of the United Kingdom, united under the influence of Locke’s ideas for the life, freedom and property rights of the ordinary people of Britain? Indeed, a sign of progressive self-destruction on a global scale is the spread of British empiricism to regions that include countries such as India, Argentina, Nigeria, Brazil, and the United States today. It is necessary to emphasize, or rather, simply agree that this spread of empiricism came through such remarkable events as London's participation in the victories 1763 the Jacobin Terror in France, the Congress of Vienna 1815 Britain's use of the Russian Revolution 1905 In order to crush the policy of Count Sergei Witte, she used her protégé Adolf Hitler to overthrow him 1933 The United Kingdom led the geo-political wars against the dangerous economic cooperation in Northern Eurasia through the First and Second World Wars. All this is reliable and useful information, but it does not say anything about the issues underlying today’s systemic, global crisis, and therefore could be used to divert attention from them. This partly explains what we have termed "systemic".
The British Empire was not an autochthonous entity created by the peoples of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. It was planted from abroad by the most influential force of the then Mediterranean - Venice, which was the world capital of the slave trade and usury. From 1582 onwards, London, like Rotterdam, was transformed by the neo-aristotelism of the ischastic "spiritism" of Gasparo Contarini's circles and the family financial trusts of the Giovanni Clic. These Venetians, grouped around the notorious Paolo Sarpi, like the “body hunters” depicted by some Hollywood film maker, appeared to “catch the souls” of the British and turn some of them into exact copies of these privileged people.

The essence of the case should be more or less clear. Humanity is not ruled by physical force used by humans.

sympathies of numerous British institutions, spreading anti-Renaissance ideas known to us as empiricism, usury, magic and racism. This served as the basis for the formation of ideas of such later British radicals as Adam Smith, Jeremiah Bentham, John Stuart Mill, John Ruskin, Aleister Crowley, Bertrand Russell, Herbert Wells, London Tavistock Clinic John Rawlings Rhys. The vanished imperial institutions that formerly hung the British flag were a temporary instrument by which the universally recognized authority of these ideas was spread. These ideas are now shared by most members of the establishment, and they are included in the textbooks of most of the countries of our planet.
Those days are over. The British elite fell into decline, like the ancient Sodom and Gomorrah. Britain’s XIX century has turned into a shameful pile of debris, a wrinkled, pathetic meowing remnant of a dead imperial past. The horror is that the disease spread by the dead empire turned out to be a cancerous tumor, like this empire. The pressure of these entropic Venetian ideas on decision-making by governments and international organizations inevitably leads to the fact that the implementation of such decisions, at least in most of them, becomes a force that destroys civilization as a whole.
The evidence of the global physico-economic crisis, which was mentioned at the beginning, is statistically indisputable and understandable to every mature citizen who will compare the regulatory nomenclature of consumer consumption twenty-five years ago and photographs known to the relevant characteristics of today. Meanwhile, we often hear about the recovery of the economy, which in fact never happened. The only evidence that would seem to confirm such ardent confidence is in fact the malignant growth of purely speculative forms of financial obligations.

A related feature of this same last segment of history is the data and results of successive policy changes since 1965. You could say, "The more circumstances change, the more they stay the same." Things are getting worse.
Problems are recognized, and reforms are promised. Then reforms are carried out, and things get worse and worse. This has continued from one reform to another, in most countries of the world, for almost 30 in recent years. The problems are not related to any one policy as such, but to axiomatic assumptions that underlie the approach to the formation of consistent political reforms. The banner under which such reforms are carried out in the United States (each time worse), is inscribed with the same slogan: "Democracy and free trade."
Let us briefly examine the fraudulent way in which the word “democracy” was used. To that end, let us dwell for a moment on the turning point in the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
Until the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, the civil rights movement aimed to restore the notion of human rights consistent with the natural law enshrined in the Declaration of Independence of 1776 and the Federal Constitution of 1789. If an African American is denied such rights, it means that there is no real right for every person. Conversely, if an African-American gains that right, it becomes the restoration of the rights of every human being. Suddenly a shot. And it's over. Immediately thereafter, in the spring of 1968, the Ford MacGeorge Bundy and Dr. Kenneth Clark Foundation intervened in Columbia University and elsewhere to “mummy” the human rights movement, replacing integration with a new look of the old Jim Crow, that is, a program of recruitment into the African-American “themed reserve” on the scale of the all-American multicultural “human zoo”.
Public health care was provided until private competition ceased. Then the trap closed in front of the victims, who previously thought they had won on this system. There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of President Lyndon Johnson’s support for civil rights. All Americans, including African-Americans, he provided tickets to the train of progress. What happened after M.L. was killed? King? They went to the ticket office, took their tickets, got on the train, found their seats, but the train . . . never got off the ground. It was at this point that the railway was closed by the authors of the new concept of “post-industrial utopia”. Dust piled up outside the train windows, and African-American recruiters for the Ford Foundation's statewide African-American "themed park" offered refreshing drugs to ease the pain.

This is what the word “democracy” came to, which was on the lips of the propagandists of the “Democracies Project”. Since 1978, "free trade" means the complete liberalization of all state regulation of transport, the complete liberalization of the banking system, and the complete liberalization of the banking system.
After 1982, full liberalization for those who rob public and private pension funds with junk bonds.
In each case, in almost unlimited number of such cases that can be named, the problem is not the shortcomings of a separate law or erroneous political actions, but the generating assumptions themselves, each of the successive political reforms. In other words, the problem should be sought in the “hereditary principle” of the currently accepted methods of determining policy.

In each of these cases, when statistics on the state of the economy or other indicators are given, there is usually a correspondence between the “errors” used to analyze the measurement standards and the shortcomings in the policy definition made during the reforms. In economics, as the example above shows, the most typical cause of statistical tricks are flaws, which are often found in the use of nominal value (e.g., the imaginary value of capital expressed in monetary terms). These kinds of axiomatic errors occur in most cases.
Any of these cases may reflect one or a combination of the two types of errors in the assumptions used to determine the policy. Either the axiomatic definition of policies is flawed from the very beginning (this refers to “free trade”), or the limit at which what was previously recognized as capable can no longer be tolerated. In these cases, there is a useful similarity with the concept of Plato's higher hypothesis, at least in the negative sense. What needs to be changed axiomatically is the generating principle of wrong policy definition. Until that is done, all attempts at reform will not only be meaningless, but will also lead from bad to worse. The solution should be sought in the application of the principle of the higher hypothesis.
I would like to touch in more detail on the interpretation of such a widely (and often incorrectly) used words: culture and civilization. For the introduction of any form of culture, material or spiritual, or material and spiritual, is the task of all education. Education is the world’s main mediator.
P.S
When, many years ago, we first traveled through the East, exploring the recesses of its abandoned sanctuaries, two awe-inspiring and ever-returning questions oppressed our minds: who and what is God? Who ever saw the immortal spirit of man and thus became convinced of his own immortality?
And when we were most concerned with solving these embarrassing questions, we came into contact with certain people who have mysterious powers and such profound knowledge that we can truly call them the wise men of the East. We listened attentively to their instructions. They have proved to us that by combining science with religion, the existence of God and the immortality of the human spirit can be proved in the same way as Euclid's theorems. For the first time we have seen that in the philosophy of the East there is no place for any other faith than an absolute and unshakable faith in the omnipotence of the immortal self of man. We have been taught that this omnipotence comes from the kinship of the human spirit with the Universal Soul - God! The latter can never be demonstrated except through the former. The human spirit proves the existence of the divine spirit just as one drop of water proves the existence of the source from which it came. Tell someone who has never seen water that there is an ocean of water, and they will have to take it on faith, or deny it altogether. But let one drop fall on his hand, and then he will be able to draw all the other conclusions from this fact. And after that, he can gradually come to understand that there is an infinite immeasurable ocean. He will no longer need blind faith; he will replace it with knowledge. When one sees a mortal man who has great powers, who controls the forces of nature, and who opens his eyes to the spirit world, the rational mind is shocked by the conviction that if the spiritual Ego of one man can accomplish so much, the faculties of the Father Spirit must accordingly be as powerful and vast as the ocean is more powerful and vast than a single drop. Ex nihilo nihil fit; prove the existence of the soul in man through its miraculous powers - and you will prove the existence of God!
In our studies, we have been shown that secrets are not secrets. Names and places that for the Western mind were important only in Eastern fairy tales were shown to us as realities. With a blessing, we entered the temple of Isis in spirit to push back the veil of "who is, was and will be" in Sais; to look through the torn veil into the holy of holies of Jerusalem and even to ask questions in the underground chapel that once existed under the sacred building - the mysterious Bat-Kol. Filia Vocis, the daughter of the divine voice, answered from the seat of mercy behind the veil, and science, theology, and all human hypotheses, born of imperfect knowledge, have lost their authoritative character in our eyes forever.
The only living God spoke through his oracle, man, and we were satisfied.
Such knowledge is priceless; and it was denied only to those who overlooked it.
They ridiculed him and denied his existence.
BEFORE THE VEIL. We are told that nineteen centuries have passed since the night of paganism was first dispelled by the divine light of Christianity, and two and a half centuries since the bright lamp of modern science began to shine in the darkness of ages of ignorance. We are asked to believe that these periods saw the beginning of real progress in the moral and intellectual development of our race. The ancient philosophers, we are told, were good enough for their own generations, but are ignorant compared with our modern men of science. Pagan ethics may have met the needs of an uncultured ancient people, but only until the appearance of the shining “Star of Bethlehem” showed a clear path to moral improvement and salvation. In former times, animality was the rule; virtue and spirituality were the exceptions. Now even the dullest person can read God's will in the word of His revelation. People now have sufficient incentives to become good, and they are continually becoming better. So it is believed—but what are the facts?
On the one hand, devoid of spirituality, dogmatic, very often - corrupt clergy; a lot of sects and three great religions at war with each other; disagreements instead of unity, dogmas without evidence, sensational preachers, seeking wealth and pleasures of parishioners, hypocrisy and bigotry, generated by tyrannical extremes in the requirements of decency, respectability, and genuineness become the dominant views. On the other hand, scientific hypotheses are built on sand; there is not a single issue on which agreement has been reached; fierce quarrels and envy; a general trend into materialism. The fight to the death between science and theology for infallibility is a “perpetual conflict.”
Between these two clashing titans - science and theology - is a bewildered public, rapidly losing faith in the immortality of man and in any deity, rapidly descending to the level of a purely animal existence. This is the picture of an hour illuminated by the shining midday sun of the Christian and scientific era!
The whole question of phenomena rests on a correct understanding of old philosophies. Where should we turn in our perplexity, if not to the ancient sages, if under the pretext of superstition modern science denies us an explanation? Let us ask them what they know about true science and religion; let us not touch on the details, but on the whole breadth of understanding these twin truths, so strong in unity and so weak when separated. In addition, we may benefit from comparing this vaunted modern science with ancient ignorance.
Advanced Modern Theology with the Secret Doctrine of the Ancient Universal Religion. Maybe this way we will discover a neutral ground from which we can benefit from both.
Only Plato’s philosophy, being a finely developed compendium of the difficult-to-understand systems of ancient India, can provide this neutral ground. Although twenty-two and a quarter centuries have passed since Plato’s death, the world’s great minds are still studying his writings. He was, in the fullest sense, a universal interpreter. This greatest philosopher of the pre-Christian era faithfully reflected in his works the spirituality of the Vedic philosophers who lived thousands of years before him, faithfully conveying their metaphysical expressions. We can see how Vyasa, Jaimini, Kapila, Vrihaspati, Sumati and many others, despite the intervening centuries, left their indelible mark on the works of Plato and his school. Thus, the conclusion is established that the same wisdom was equally revealed to Plato and the ancient sages of India. And if this wisdom could withstand such an assault of time, what could it be but divine and eternal?
Plato taught that justice exists in the soul of its possessor and

Yet commentators almost unanimously avoid every paragraph that suggests that its metaphysics is grounded in solid foundations rather than ideal concepts.
But Plato could not accept a philosophy devoid of spiritual aspirations; the two were always one. For for the old Greek sage, there was only one single purpose: real knowledge. He believed that only he is a real philosopher or a student of truth, who has knowledge of the real-existent, as opposed to what comes and goes, what develops and is destroyed alternately.
"Behind all finite existences and secondary causes, all laws, ideas, and principles, there exists a mind or mind?οΰς , nous. δThe first principle of all principles, the Supreme Idea, on which all other ideas are based; Monarch and Lawgiver of the universe; the one substance from which all things derive their origin and essence, the first cause of all order and harmony, beauty, superiority, and virtue, pervading the whole universe - who is called for the sake of exaltation the Supreme Good, God Θεoς ) "ΑOooh over everything.” επι πασι Θεoς )" [ XI, s]. 377].
He is neither reason nor truth, but “their father.” Although this eternal essence of things is not perceived by our physical senses, it is comprehensible to the minds of those who are not stubborn fools.
The porphyry of the Neoplatonic school testifies that Plato's philosophy was taught and illustrated in the mysteries. Many doubted and rejected this; and Lobeck, in his Aglaophumus, went even to such an extreme that he depicted the sacred orgies as little more than an empty representation to captivate the imagination. And this, despite the fact that Athens and Greece for more than twenty centuries visited every five years Eleusinian mysteries to watch the solemn religious action. Augustine, the Pope-Bishop of Hippo, gave an explanation of the doctrine of the Alexandrian Platonists were the original esoteric doctrines. Alexandrian Platonists were He the genuine esoteric doctrines of the first followers of Plato and describes Plotinus as the resurrected Plato. He also cites the motives of the great philosopher, which forced him to veil the inner meaning of what he taught.
It states that the doctrines

He declares,
This
What
As for myths, Plato states in Gorgias and Phaedo that myths are vessels of great truths, quite worthy to be sought. But commentators have been so little en rapport with the great philosopher that they have been forced to confess that they do not know "where doctrine ends and myth begins." Plato turned popular superstitions about magic and demons and exaggerated theories of the time into reasonable theories and metaphysical concepts. Perhaps they would not quite correspond to the inductive method of reasoning established by Aristotle; nevertheless, they highly satisfy those who comprehend the existence of the highest faculty of internal vision, intuition, which gives a criterion in the assertion of truth.
Plato, basing all his doctrines on the presence of the Supreme Mind, taught that the nous, the spirit; or the rational soul of man, being "begotten of the divine Father," possesses a nature related or even homogeneous with the deity and is able to behold eternal realities. This ability to contemplate reality directly and directly belongs only to God; the pursuit of this knowledge constitutes what is really meant by the word philosophy - love of wisdom. The love of truth is the innate love of good; and by dominating all other desires of the soul, purifying it and associating it with the divine and directing every action of the individual, it raises man to participation and communion with the divine and restores in him the likeness of God.
"This flight," says Plato in Theaetetus, "consists of becoming like God, and the assimilation of this is expressed in the fact that man becomes just and holy wisdom."
The basis of this assimilation is always asserted before the existence of the spirit or nous. In the allegory of the chariot and the winged horses given in the Phaedra, he depicts the psychic nature as complex and dual; the tumos or epitumic part formed from the substances of the phenomenal
peace, and tumoides, whose essence is connected with the eternal world. The present life of this world is a downfall and a punishment. The soul dwells "in the tomb which we call the body," and in its embodied state before passing through the discipline of education the poetic or spiritual element is in a "sleeping state." Life in this way is more a dream than a reality. Like the captives in the underground cave described in the Republic, our backs are turned towards the light, and we perceive only the shadows of objects and think that these are realities. Is this not the idea of Maya or the illusion of feelings in physical life, which is a characteristic feature in Buddhist philosophy? But these shadows, unless we are completely alienated to the power of sensual nature, awaken in us vague memories of the higher world in which we once lived.
The imprisoned spirit has some vague and obscure memories of his state of bliss before the birth cycle begins, as well as some longing to return there.
The task of the discipline of philosophy is to free the spirit from the fetters of the senses and to elevate it to the realm of pure thought, to the vision of eternal truth, goodness and beauty.
“The soul,” says Plato in Theaetetus, “cannot be incarnated in the form of a man if it has never seen the truth. These are memories of what our soul had seen before, when it lived with the deity, scorning the things we now say they exist, and looking at what really exists. This is the reason why the nous or spirit of the philosopher (or student of the higher truth) is being taken aback, for he tries his best to keep these things in his mind, the contemplation of which elevates even the deity itself. Correctly using the memories of his former life, constant self-improvement in the perfect mysteries, a person becomes truly perfect - initiated into divine wisdom.
From this we can see why the most sublime scenes in the mysteries were always made at night. The life of the inner spirit is the death of the outer nature, and the night of the physical world denotes the day of the spiritual world. Dionysius is the night sun, therefore more is venerated than Helios, the conditions of the day pre-existence of spirit and soul, the latter's fall into earthly life and Hades, the hardships of this life, the purification of the soul and its return to divine bliss and reunion with the spirit. Theon of Smyrna successfully equates philosophical discipline to mystical rites:

"Philosophy," he says, "may be called initiation into true secret mysteries and into real mysteries. There are five parts of dedication:

V is the last, arising from all previous ones - friendship and inner communion with God and the joyful use of those benefits that arise from close communion with divine or beings. Plato’s personal vision is a perfect contemplation of things that were vaguely, intuitively anticipated, as well as of absolute truths and ideas. He also considers the tying of the head and crowning analogs of the power that the initiate receives from his mentors - the power to lead others to the same contemplation. The fifth degree is the highest happiness, hence arising, according to Plato, is to join to divinity, to assimilate it as far as human nature allows. 47].

"Everything comes from Plato," says Ralph Waldo Emerson, "what thinkers write and argue about."
He absorbed all the learning of his time - Greek from Philosopher to Socrates, then Pythagorean in Italy, and then all that he could get from Egypt and the East. He was so broad that the whole philosophy of Europe and Asia entered into his doctrines. And in addition to culture and thinking abilities, he still had the soul and talent of a poet. Followers of Plato, his general psychological theories. However, some, like Xenocrates, dared to bolder speculations Speusippus, nephew and heir of the great philosopher was the author of the "Analysis of numbers", a treatise on Pythagorean numbers. Some of his speculations did not enter into the written Dialogues; but he was a listener to Plato's unwritten lectures, and Enfield is right in asserting that he did not deviate from his teacher.

The human mind, under its own laws, has always been compelled to nourish the same basic ideas, and the human heart to cherish the same feelings in all ages.
Pythagoras undoubtedly aroused the deepest intellectual sympathies of his age, and his doctrines had a powerful effect on Plato's mind. His cardinal idea was that there was a permanent principle of unity hidden beneath the forms, changes, and other phenomena of the universe. Aristotle said that he taught that “numbers are the first principles of all entities.” Ritter expressed the view that this formula of Pythagoras should be understood symbolically that,
Absolutely, right. Aristotle continues to associate these numbers with Plato's "forms" and "ideas." He even states that Plato said, "Forms are numbers" and that "ideas exist as something material, they are real beings." But Plato didn’t teach that. He said that the ultimate goal is the Supreme Good.
“Ideas are objects of understanding for the human mind and they are attributes of the divine mind” (I, ix).
He also never said "forms are numbers." What he really said, we find in "Timea":
“God created things according to their forms and numbers.”
Modern science recognizes that all the higher laws of nature take the form of quantitative expression. This is perhaps a more complete elaboration and a more exhaustive confirmation of the Pythagorean doctrine. The numbers were seen as the best representatives of the laws of harmony that exist in the cosmos. We also know that in chemistry, the theory of atoms and their combinations is based on numbers. As Archer Butler put it:
"The world in all its departments represents living arithmetic in its progressive development and realized geometry in its rest."
The key to the Pythagorean dogmas is the general formula of unity in the plurality, a single, moving into the multitude and nourishing the multitude. This is an ancient doctrine of emanation, expressed in a few words. Even the apostle Paul accepted it as true. "ξ αυτού, και δι αυτοΰ, και εις αυτoν τά πάντα " - ΒIt is there, and it is there, and it is there. It is, as you will now see, purely Indian and Brahmanical:
“When the dissolution, pralaya, has reached its end, the Great Essence, Para-Atma or Para-Purusha, is the Lord existing from Himself, from whom and through whom all things have become and will decide to emanate from His own substance various creatures” (I, cf. 6, 7).
Mystic Decade 1+2+3+4=10 It is an expression of this idea. One is God, Two is matter, Three is the combination of the Monad and the Duad (one and two) that carry the nature of both, is the phenomenal world; The tetrad, or form of perfection, expresses the emptiness of everything, and the decade or sum of everything includes the entire cosmos. The universe is a combination of thousands of elements, and yet it is the expression of a single spirit - chaos for the senses and space for the mind.
This whole combination of numbers expressing the idea of creation is Indian. The being existing in itself, Swayambhu or Swayambhava, as some call it, is one. It emanates from itself the creative power of Brahma or Purusha (the divine male principle) and the one becomes the Two; from this Duad, the union of the purely intellectual principle with the
By the principle of matter, there is a third, viraj, a phenomenal world. From this invisible and incomprehensible trinity, the Brahmanical Trimurti, comes the second triad, which represents the three forces: creative, preserving, and transforming. They are personified by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, but they are again merged into one. The United, Brahma, or as it is called in the Vedas, Tridendi, is the threefold manifested God from whom the symbolic Aum or abbreviated Trimurti originated. And only under this trinity, always active and tangible to all our senses, can the invisible and unknown Manas manifest itself in the mortal world. When he becomes a Sharira, or one who takes on a visible form, he personifies all the principles of matter, all the germs of life, he is Purusha, the god of the three-faced or three-fold force, the essence of the Vedic triad.
“Let the Brahmans know the Sacred Slogue (Aum), the three words of Savitri, and let them read the Vedas every day” (IV, Sl. 125).
After the creation of the universe, the One whose power is incomprehensible disappeared again, being in the original darkness, the Great Soul remains inside the unknowable and is devoid of any form.

Who has studied Pythagoras and his reflections on the Monad, which after emanating the Duad, sinks into silence and darkness and thus creates the Triad, - to him it is clear where the philosophy of the great sage of Samossa came from, and after him - Socrates and Plato.
It seems that Speusippus taught that the psychic or tumetic soul is as immortal as the spiritual or intelligent soul; we shall then introduce his arguments. He also, like Philolaus and Aristotle, in his researches on the soul, makes an element out of the ether; thus he obtained five initial elements, which corresponded to five regular figures of geometry. This also became the doctrine of the Alexandrian school. Indeed, there was much in this doctrine from Philoletianism that did not appear in the writings of later Platonists, but was undoubtedly taught essentially by the philosopher himself, but by his usual caution was not set out in writing, as it was too secret for publication. Sveusippus and Xenocrates after him, like their great teacher, believed that Anima Mundi, or the world soul, was not a deity, but a manifestation. These philosophers never thought of the One as living nature [141]. The original One did not exist in the sense that we understand the term. Until it was connected with many - emanated beings (monad and duad) - no creature was created. Honorable is something manifested, dwells in the center as in
This is only a reflection of God, the soul of the world, 862] In this doctrine we find the spirit of esoteric Buddhism.
The human idea of God is the image of the blinding light that he sees in the crooked mirror of his soul, and all this, in truth, is not God, but only his reflection. His brilliance and glory are there, but what a man sees is only the light of his own spirit, and that is all he is capable of looking at. The clearer the mirror, the brighter the divine image will be. But the outside world cannot be observed in it at the same time. In ecstatic yoga, in the illumined seer, the spirit will shine like the midday sun; in the corrupted victim of earthly drives, this glow disappears because the mirror is obscured by specks of matter. Such people deny their God and are ready to deprive humanity of its soul at one stroke.
No God? No soul? Terrible destructive thought! The crazy nightmare of the mad atheist, which seems to his hot eyes like an ugly incessant procession of sparks of cosmic matter, created by no one, self-appearing, self-existent and self-evolving, and it is I who is not I, for he is nothing and no one, and he floats out of nowhere, and there is no cause that moves him, for there is no First Cause, and everything carries rapidly. And all this happens in the circle of Eternity, blind, inert and causeless.
What, then, in comparison, does Buddhist nirvana represent even in the wrong way some understand it? Nirvana and countless metempsychoses, during which the creature does not lose feelings of its own individuality for a single second, and that can last for millions of centuries until the final nothing is comprehended.

Although some rank Speusippus below Aristotle, the world nevertheless owes him a debt for defining and expounding much that Plato left obscure in his doctrine of the Sensible and the Ideal. His maxim was:
"Intangible is known by scientific thought, material is known by scientific perception" [VII, 145].
Xenocrates expounded many of his teacher's unrecorded theories and teachings. He also praised the Pythagorean doctrine and its system of numbers and mathematics. Recognizing only three degrees of knowledge - Thought, Perception and Illumination (or Intuitive Knowledge) - he forced the first to do all that is beyond the heavens; And he took away what was in the heavens. Intuition is heaven itself.
We find these theories again and in almost the same words in
Manavadharmashastra, which speaks of the creation of man:
He is the immortal breath that does not perish in the being, and to this soul of the being he gave Ahankar (self-consciousness), the supreme driver. Then he gave the soul of this being (man) a mind formed of three qualities and five organs of external perceptions.

These three qualities are Mind, Consciousness and Will. They correspond to the Thought, Perception and Illumination of Xenocrates. The connection of numbers with Ideas was further developed by him than by Speussippe, and he surpassed Plato in his definition of the doctrine of Invisible Dimensions. he reduced demonstrated that each figure and form came from the thinnest indivisible line. That Xenocrates believed in the same theories as Plato concerning the human soul (considered to be their number). This serves as the definitive proof that many of Plato’s teachings were passed on orally, even if they were to prove that not Plato, but Xenocrates was the first to create the theory of indivisible (infinitely small) quantities. He produces the soul from the first Duad and calls it a spontaneously moving number. Theophrastus observes that he studied and developed the theory of the soul more than any other Platonist. He built a cosmological doctrine on it and proved the necessity for the existence in all parts of the universe of successive, gradually increasing series of living and thinking, albeit spiritual, beings [1, 62]. He portrays the human soul as a complex composite of the most spiritual properties of the monad and duad, possessing the highest principles of both. If, like Plato and Prodicus, he mentions the Elements as divine powers, and calls them gods, neither he nor others have associated with this name any anthropomorphic ideas. Criskey points out that he called them gods only so that these elementary forces do not mix in human ideas with the demons of the invisible world [322 ff] (elementary spirits). Since the "world soul" saturates the entire cosmos, even animals must have something divine in them [V, 590]. It is also the doctrine of Buddhists and Hermetists, and Manu gives a living soul even plants and the slightest blade of grass.
Demons, according to this theory, are intermediate beings between divine perfection and human sinfulness. 25, with. 360], and he divides them into classes, with each class being further divided into many subclasses. But he accurately and clearly says that the individual or personal soul is the leading guardian angel of each person, and that no demon has more power over us than our own. Thus, the Demonion of Socrates is a god or divine being who has inspired him all his life. It depends on the person, he will reveal or close his perceptions towards the divine voice. Like Speusippus, he attributed immortality to a psychic body, or unreasonable soul. But some Hermetic philosophers have taught that the soul has a separate continued existence only as long as it passes through the spheres, as long as there are any material or terrestrial particles in it; and when it is completely purified, it is destroyed, and only the quintessence of this soul merges with its two divine ones transformed into one.

Crantor, another philosopher associated with the early days of Plato's Academy, thought of the human soul as created from the primary substance of all things, the Monad or the One and Duad or the Two-One Plutarch speaks in detail about this philosopher, who, like his teacher, believed that souls distributed over earthly bodies were punished and in exile.
Heraclitus, although some critics do not believe he adhered strictly to Plato's original philosophy, taught the same ethics. Zeller presents him to us as a teacher who, like Gitsetas and Ekfant, taught the Pythagorean doctrine of the diurnal rotation of the earth and the immobility of certain stars, but he adds that Heraclitus was unaware of the annual rotation of the earth around the sun and of the heliocentric system. But we have credible evidence that the heliocentric system was taught in the Mysteries, and that Socrates died on the charge of atheism, i.e., the disclosure of sacred secrets. Heraclitus fully accepted the Pythagorean and Platonic views of the human soul and its faculties. He confirms that souls live on the “milk path” before descending into “birth” or sublunar existence. His demons or spirits possess airy or vapor-like bodies.
In the Epinomis the doctrine of the Pythagorean numbers and their relation to the created are fully set forth. As a true Platonist, his author argues that wisdom can only be attained by a careful study of the occult nature of creation, this alone gives us assurance of a blissful existence after death. There is much thought in this treatise about immortality, but the author of these reflections adds that we can achieve this knowledge only through a complete comprehension of the meaning of numbers, for a person who is unable to distinguish a straight line from a curve will never have enough wisdom to come to a mathematical demonstration of the invisible, i.e., we must make sure of the objective existence of our soul (the astral body) before we learn that we possess the divine.
Iamblichus says the same thing, adding, besides, that it is the secret of the highest initiation. The divine power, he says, is always resentful of those "who make the composition of the icostagonus obvious," namely, who convey the way of inscribing into the sphere of the dodecahedron.
The idea that "numbers" with the greatest virtue always produce good and never produce evil, has in mind justice, a balanced temperament, and everything that is harmonious. When the author speaks of each star as an individual soul, he only implies what the Indian initiates and Hermetists taught before and after him, namely, that each star is an independent planet, which, like our earth, has its own soul, and each atom of matter is saturated with the divine tide of the world soul. She breathes and lives, she feels, and suffers and enjoys life in a way
My own. What natural scientist can dispute this with sufficiently convincing evidence? We must therefore regard the heavenly bodies as images of gods sharing the powers of their substances, and though they are not immortal in their soul-being, their role in universal economy deserves divine veneration, such as we render to the lesser gods. The idea is clear, and indeed one must be malicious to misinterpret it. If the author of Epinomis places these fiery gods higher than animals, plants, and even mankind, to whom he assigns a lower place as the progeny of the earth, who can prove him at all wrong? Anyone who would like to understand the various incarnations of the concepts of the ancient philosophers, which are ultimately based on identical concepts about the nature of the First Cause, its attributes and methods, should plunge into the depths of the abstract metaphysics of the old philosophers. Again, when the author of the Epinomis places three classes of demons between the highest and the lowest gods (embodied souls) and inhabits the universe with invisible beings, he is more rational than our modern scientists, who between these two extremes leave a gaping gap, an arena of blind forces. Of these three classes, the first two are invisible; their bodies are pure ether and fire (planetary spirits); third-class demons possess vapor-like bodies; they are usually invisible, but sometimes condensate and become visible for a few seconds. These are the earthly spirits or astral souls.
These are the doctrines which, when studied by analogy by correspondence, led the ancients, and which can now lead the modern Philaletheans step by step to the discovery of the greatest mysteries. On the edge of the dark abyss that separates the spiritual world from the physical world, modern science stands with its eyes closed and its head turned aside, proclaiming the abyss impassable and bottomless, although it holds a torch in its hand, and once it has only lowered this torch below, it will see its error. But the patient student of Hermetic philosophy built a bridge across this abyss.
In his "Fragments of Science," Tyndale does the following sad thing:
If you ask me whether science has solved or will solve the problem of the universe at the present time, I must shake my head with doubt.
Our work is therefore an argument for the recognition of Hermetic philosophy, the ancient universal religion of wisdom, which is the only key to the Absolute in science and in theology.
New York, September 1877
Every true scientist agrees that in many ways human knowledge is still in its infancy. Maybe our cycle started relatively recently? According to Chaldean philosophy, these cycles do not cover all of humanity at the same time. Professor Draper partially confirms this view by saying that the periods into which geologists for convenience have divided the advancement of mankind into civilization are not steeply crumbling epochs simultaneously affecting all mankind; as an example, he cites the wandering Indians of America, who "are just finishing the Stone Age." Thus, scientists are reluctant to confirm the evidence of the ancients.
Any Kabbalist who has become familiar with the Pythagorean system of numbers and geometry can demonstrate that Plato’s metaphysical teachings were based on the strictest mathematical principles. "True mathematics," says the Magicon, "is something with which all higher sciences are connected; ordinary mathematics is only a deceptive phantasmagoria, whose glorified infallibility arises only from the fact that materials, conditions, and references are made its basis." Scientists who think they are applying Aristotle's method when they are crawling rather than running from the demonstrated particulars to the universal, glorify this method of inductive philosophy, and abandon Plato's method, which they consider to be untenable. Professor Draper regrets that speculative mystics such as Ammonius Saccas and Plotinus did not take up seats among the "strict geometers of the old museum" [I]. He forgets that geometry is the only one of all the sciences that follows from the general to the particular and is exactly the method that Plato adhered to in his philosophy. As long as exact science confines its observations to physical conditions and acts like Aristotle, it will definitely succeed. But although the material world is infinite to us, it is finite; and thus materialism will forever revolve in a vicious circle, unable to rise higher than the circumference will allow it. The cosmological theory of numbers, which Pythagoras learned from Egyptian hierophants, alone is able to reconcile these two units, matter and spirit, and can demonstrate one another mathematically.
The sacred numbers of the universe, in their esoteric combinations, solve this great problem and explain the theory of radiation and the cycles of emanations. The lower categories must be emancipated from the higher spiritual categories before they develop into the higher ones, and when they reach a turning point, they must merge again with the infinite.
Physiology, like everything else in this world of constant evolution, undergoes a cyclical rotation. Just as evolution now seems to be just beginning to emerge from the twilight of the lower arc, it will also be proved on some day that it was at the highest point of the circle much earlier than the days of Pythagoras.
Moh Sidonian, a physiologist and teacher of anatomy, lived long before the Samos sage; and the latter received sacred instruction from his disciples and descendants. Pythagoras, a pure philosopher who has penetrated deeply into the secrets of Nature, a noble successor of ancient doctrine, whose great goal was to free the soul from the fetters imposed by the senses and make it realize its own powers, must live forever in the memory of mankind.
An impenetrable veil of mystery was thrown upon the sciences taught in the sanctuaries. This is the reason why our contemporaries condemn ancient philosophies. Even Plato and Philo Judaea have been accused by many commentators of absurd inconsistencies, whereas in fact the scheme, which lurks under the confusion of metaphysical contradictions, is so confusing to the reader of the Timaeus, is very obvious. But have the classical interpreters ever read Plato with understanding? To ask such a question we are entitled to the harsh criticism to which Plato is subjected by such writers as Stellbaum, Schleiermacher, Ficinius (translated from Latin), Heindorff, Sydenham, Butman, Taylor and Burgess, not to mention lesser authorities. With shameless coolness they not only speak about some difficult to understand places, which here, obviously, meant another phraseology, but also courageously make changes themselves! Orphic line:

They even doubt whether they knew the basic principle of science that ex nihilo nihil fit. If, in general, they suspected the indestructibility of matter, these commentators say, it was not at all due to the truth firmly established by them, but only by intuitive reflection and by analogy.

We hold the opposite view. The speculations of these philosophers about matter were public and criticized; but their doctrine of the spiritual was deeply esoteric. Having sworn to keep secret the profound and incomprehensible doctrine concerning the relationship of spirit and matter, they competed one before the other in the ability to hide their true views.
The doctrine of reincarnation (metempsychosis) was widely ridiculed by men of science and theology, but if it were properly understood in its application to the indestructibility of matter and to the immortality of the spirit, it would have been
would be accepted as a lofty concept. Should we not consider the views of the ancients before we venture into this subject from the point of neglecting its proclaimers? The solution to the great problem of eternity is neither religious superstition nor crude materialism. The harmony and mathematical equilibrium of the dual evolution, spiritual and physical, can be explained only by the universal numbers of Pythagoras, who built his system entirely on the so-called "metrical speech" of the Indian Vedas. Only recently, one of the most zealous Sanskrit scholars, Martin Haug, took up the translation of the Aitareya Brahmana from the Rigveda. Up to this time it had been completely unknown; and the information obtained from it undoubtedly indicates the identity of the Pythagorean and Brahmanical systems. In both, the esoteric meaning is derived from numbers: in the first system (Pythagorean) from the mystical connection of each number with everything that the human mind can comprehend; in the second system (Brahmanic) from the number of syllables that make up each mantra. Plato, a fiery follower of Pythagoras, understood this so fully that he claims that the dodecahedron is the geometric number by which the Demiurge constructs the universe. Some of these numbers were of particular elevated importance. For example, four, which is repeated three times in the dodecahedron, was sacred to the Pythagoreans. It represents a perfect square, and neither side of it, nor an iota, is greater than the other. It is the emblem of moral justice and divine balance, expressed geometrically. All the forces and great symphonies of physical and spiritual nature are inscribed in a perfect square. And the unutterable name of the One, whose name would otherwise remain unpronounceable, was replaced by this sacred number 4, the most binding in the oath of the ancient mystics - Tetractis.
If the Pythagorean metempsychosis were thoroughly explained and compared with modern evolutionary theory, it would be found that it supplies all the "missing links" with the chain of the latter. But who among our scientists would agree to spend his precious time on the quirks of the ancients. Despite the evidence to the contrary, they not only deny that the peoples of the archaic period had any positive knowledge of the heliocentric system, but even deny this knowledge from the ancient philosophers. Augustine and Lactantius’ “respectable pillars” seem to have stifled all faith in older pre-Christian theologians because of their dogmatic ignorance. But nowadays, philology and a closer acquaintance with Sanskrit literature provide a partial opportunity to remove this undeserved accusation from them. In the Vedas, for example, we find positive evidence that as early as 2000 B.C., Indian sages and scientists must have been familiar with the globularity of our planet and the heliocentric system. Pythagoras and Plato therefore knew this astronomical truth well, for Pythagoras had received his knowledge from India or from people who went there, and Plato was devoted to it.
He repeated his teaching. We will quote two paragraphs from the "Aitareya-brahmana". In the Mantra of the Serpent, the Brahman proclaims the following:
This mantra is the one seen by the Serpent Queen Sarpa-rajna, since the earth (yyam) is the Serpent Queen, just as she is the mother of all that moves (sarpat). In the beginning, the Earth was only like a head (hairless), i.e. without (round) hair vegetation. She then learned this mantra, which gives the one who knows the power to change their form as soon as you wish. She "pronounced this mantra," that is, sacrificed to the gods; as a result, she immediately gained a colorful appearance; she became diverse and capable of producing whatever forms she wanted, transforming one form into another. This mantra begins with the words: "Ayam gajjh pris'nir akramjt" [X, 189].
The description of the earth in the form of a round and bald head, which at first was soft and began to harden only when the god Vayu, the king of the air, blew on it, such a description irresistibly suggests that the authors of the sacred Vedic books knew that the earth was round or spherical; moreover, it was at first a jelly-like mass, which gradually solidified under the influence of air and time. It is as to their knowledge that the earth is round; and now we shall present the evidence upon which we base our assertion that the Hindus were perfectly aware of the heliocentric system at least two thousand years before the birth of Christ.
In the same treatise "Hotar" (priest) is taught how to repeat the shastra and how to explain the phenomenon of sunrise and sunset. It says:
The agnishtom is the one who burns. The sun never sets or rises. When people think the sun is setting, they are wrong. For the sun, after the day is ended, produces a double effect, creating a day for those under it and a night for those on the other side. In fact, the sun never sets; nor does it set for one who possesses such knowledge.
This phrase is so significant that the translator of the Rigveda, Dr. Haug, was forced to pay attention to it. He says that this paragraph contains a denial of the existence of sunrise and sunset, and that the author believes that the sun always occupies its high position. II, p. 242]
In one of the earliest "Nivitz" Rishi Kuts, an Indian sage of remote antiquity, explains the allegory of the first laws given to celestial bodies. For actions "that she should not have done," Anahit (Anaitis or Nana, the Persian Venus), personifying the Earth in this legend, is sentenced to revolve around the sun. Sattras or sacrificial sessions undoubtedly prove that already in the eighteenth or
twentieth century before Christ, great advances had been made in astronomy. The Sattras lasted one year and were “nothing other than an imitation of the Sun's annual motion”. “They were divided,” says Haug, “into two distinct parts; each part consisted of six months of thirty days each; between the two parts was Vishuvan (the equator or middle day), dividing the whole Sattras into two halves, and so on.” Although this scholar dates the composition of the “Brahmanas” to 1400-1200 BC, he holds that the oldest hymns may be assigned to the very beginning of Vedic literature, between 2400 and 2000 before Christ. He finds no reason to regard the Vedas as less ancient than the sacred writings of the Chinese. Since it has been shown that the “Shu-jing”, or “Book of Annals”, and the sacred songs of the “Shi-jing”, or “Book of Odes”, were composed in 2200 BC, perhaps our philologists, too, will soon be compelled to admit that the antediluvian Hindus were their teachers in astronomical knowledge.
In any case, there are facts that prove that some astronomical calculations of the Chaldeans in the days of Julius Caesar were as true as they are now. When the Conqueror (Caesar) made the reform of the calendar, the civil year did not coincide with the seasons so much that the summer came in the autumn months, and the autumn months fell in the winter. Sosigen was the Chaldean astronomer who restored order to the calendar confusion by pushing back 25- e March Back to 90 The days to coincide with the spring equinox. And again, Sosigen was the one who set the number of days in the months as they have remained to this day.
In America, through the army of Montezuma, it was discovered that the Aztec calendar gives equal numbers of days and weeks each month. The extreme accuracy of their astronomical calculations was so great that no errors were found in them by subsequent tests, while Europeans who landed in Mexico in 1519 used the Julian calendar, which was mistaken for 11 days.
Before the priceless and accurate translations of the Vedic books and the personal studies of Dr. Haug, we are indebted for confirming the positions of the philosophers of Hermeticism. That the period of Zarathustra Spitana (Zoroaster) belongs to the inexpressible antiquity is easy to prove. The Brahmins, to whom Haug ascribes the age of creation to four thousand years, describe the religious strife between the ancient Indians who lived in the pre-Vedic period, and the Iranians. The battles between the Devas and the Asuras (the first representing the Indians and the last Iranians) are described in detail in the sacred books. Since the Iranian prophet was the first to rebel against what he called the “idolatry” of the Brahmans, the last “devas” (devils) is the question, how long ago did this religious crisis occur?
"This quarrel," Dr. Haug replies, "was to appear to the authors of the Brahmans as old and distant as the exploits of King Arthur seem to the English writers of the nineteenth century."
There was no celebrated philosopher who did not adhere to the doctrine of metempsychosis (re-incarnation) in the form taught by the Brahmans, Buddhists and subsequently the Pythagoreans in its esoteric meaning, expressed in a more or less understandable language. Origen and Clement of Alexandria, Synesius and Kalcidius, all believed in him; and the Gnostics, whom history recognized as the most learned, refined, and enlightened corporation of men, all believed in metempsychosis. Socrates held beliefs identical to those of Pythagoras. And both, as punishment for divine philosophy, were put to violent death. The crowd has remained the same throughout the ages. Materialism has been and always will be blind to spiritual truths. These philosophers, along with the Indians, believed that God breathed into matter a part of his divine spirit, which animates every particle of matter and moves it. They taught that men have two souls, separate and distinct in their nature: one perishable, the astral soul, the internal fluidic body; the other, pure, undefiled, and immortal, the agoeides or part of the divine spirit; that the mortal or astral soul perishes at every successive change on the threshold of every new sphere, becoming, with every transference, an ever more purified, astral man. Aristotle, although for his political reasons he kept a wise silence on certain esoteric questions, expressed his opinion very clearly on this subject. It was he who believed that human souls were emanations of God that would eventually merge with the deity again. Zeno, the founder of the Stoic philosophy, taught that "there are two eternal qualities in all nature: one active or male; another passive or female; that the first is a pure subtle ether or divine spirit; the other itself is completely inert until it joins with the active principle; that the divine spirit, acting on matter, created fire, water, earth and air, and that it is the only one that is active." The Stoics, like the sages of India, believed in the ultimate fusion. St. Justinian believed in the emanation of souls from the deity, and Tatian of Assyria, his disciple, declared that "man was as immortal as God himself." The verse from the Book of Genesis, “And to all the beasts of the earth, and to all the birds of the sky, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which the soul is alive...” should attract the attention of every Jewish scholar who is able to read the Holy Scriptures in the original, instead of the erroneous English translation, in which this phrase is translated - “in what is life” [Genesis, I, 30].
From the first chapter to the last, the English translators of the Hebrew sacred books mistranslated this meaning. As Sir W. Drummond, they even changed the spelling of God's name. For example, El, if it is written correctly, is read by Al, for it is in the original - Al, and
Higginsu means the god Mithru, the Sun, the Preserver and Savior. Sir W. Drummond argues that Beth-El means, in its literal translation, the house of the Sun, not of God. El in the names of the Canaanites does not mean God, but the Sun. Thus theology has distorted ancient Theosophy, and science has distorted ancient philosophy.

Due to the lack of understanding of this great philosophical principle, the methods of modern science, however accurate they may be, cannot end in anything. No beginning or end of things. Instead of tracing the origin of the effect from its original source, it (science) develops from the opposite of the higher types of the previous lower types. It begins at the bottom of the cycle, being driven from step to step in the great labyrinth of nature only by a thread of matter. And as soon as she breaks and the key is lost, she bounces back in fright from the Unknowable and declares herself powerless. This is not what Plato and his disciples did. In him the lower types were only concrete likenesses of the higher abstract types. The spirit, which is immortal, has an arithmetical origin, just as the body has a geometrical origin. This beginning, being a reflection of the great universal Archjus, is self-moving - it spreads from the center throughout the body of the microcosm.

The feeling of this sad truth made Tyndall confess,
How powerless science is, even in the world of matter.
“The first appearance of atoms, on which all further activity depends, confounds more perceptive forces than a microscope.” “As a result of painstaking and long-term research, any guarantee can be given that the most trained intelligence, the most subtle and disciplined imagination about embarrassment is retreating from this problem. We are overwhelmed by the surprise that no microscope can help; we doubt not only the power of the instrument, but even whether we possess those intellectual elements which will ever be able to enable us to comprehend the original building energies of nature.
[Exodus, XXV, 40]
The basic geometrical figure of the Kabbalah, the figure that tradition and esoteric teachings speak of as being given by the deity himself to Moses on Mount Sinai, contains in its majestic and therefore simple combination the key to the universal problem. This figure contains all the others. For those who are able to master it, there is no need to resort to the help of imagination. No earthly microscope can compare with the sharpness of spiritual perception. And even for those who are not familiar with GREAT SCIENCE, the description of the origin of a well-trained child's debris - a psychometer - is more expensive than all telescopes or microscopes of "exact science".

Darwin's bold pangenesis,
which Tyndale calls a "vaporized theorist," there may be more truth lurking than in the latter's carefully delineated hypotheses, who, together with other thinkers of his class, surround his imagination with "strong limits of reason." The theory of a microscopic embryo, which contains "a whole world of smaller embryos," rises in at least one sense to infinity. It transcends the material world by unconsciously acting in the spirit world.
If we accept Darwin's theory of species development, we find that its starting point is placed in front of an open door. And with it, we are free to stay inside, or to step over a threshold beyond which is limitless and unfathomable or rather unpronounceable. If our mortal tongue is unable to express what our spirit vaguely foresees in the great Beyond while we are on earth, it must comprehend it at some point in the timeless eternity.
The Kabbalists of antiquity had not until then based their teachings on hypotheses.
not yet had a solid rock imprinted experience.
But too much dependence on physical fact led to the rise of materialism and the decline of spirituality and faith. In Aristotle’s day, this was the predominant tendency of thinking. Although the Delphic precept had not yet completely faded from Greek thought, and some philosophers still held the view that "in order to know what man is, we must know who man was, yet materialism had already begun to undermine the roots of faith. The mysteries themselves have already degenerated to a large extent into priestly speculation and religious deception. There are few true adepts and initiates left, heirs and descendants of those who were scattered by the swords of the various conquerors of old Egypt.
The times foretold by the great Hermes in his dialogue with Esculap had in fact arrived; the times had come when wicked foreigners began to accuse Egypt of worshiping monsters, and no inscriptions struck on stone monuments could survive - they became riddles for posterity. The scriptures and hierophants became wanderers on the face of the earth. Fear of profanation forced them to seek refuge in hermetic brotherhoods, later known as Essenes, whose esoteric knowledge became more buried than ever. The triumphant followers of Aristotle, on their victorious journey, have swept away the last vestiges of a once pure and sublime religion, and Aristotle himself, a child and typical representative of his age, though instructed in the secret knowledge of Egypt, knew little of the accumulated esoteric knowledge for tens of thousands of years.
Just like those who lived in biblical times, our modern philosophers “raise the veil of Isis” — for Isis is only a symbol of nature. But they only see their physical forms. The hidden soul is invisible to them, and the divine Mother has no answer for them. There are experts in anatomy, who, without seeing the living spirit under
The muscles, under a network of nerves or other matter, which they lift at the tip of the scalpel, claim that man has no soul. Such people are as blind and dumb in sophistry as those researchers who, limited to examining only the dead, dare to say that there is no letter of Kabbalah that animates the spirit. In order to see the true person who once lived in a corpse spread out in front of the surgeon on the operating table, the surgeon must have other eyes - not bodily ones. Similarly, the brilliant truth hidden in the hieratic writings of the ancient papyrus can only be revealed to one who has the capacity for intuition, which, if we call reason by the eyes of the mind, can be called the eyes of the soul.
Our modern science recognizes the Supreme Power, some invisible Principle, but denies the Supreme Being or personal God. Logically, the difference between the two is controversial, for in this case the Force and Being are identical. It is scarcely possible for human reason to conceive of a reasonable supreme power without associating it with the idea of an intelligent being. One cannot expect from the masses a clear conception of the omnipotence and omnipresence of the Supreme God without these masses bestowing on him giganticly enlarged qualities of their own personality. But the Kabbalists never looked upon the invisible En-Sof except as the Force.
Our modern positivists in their cautious philosophy have been ahead of thousands of centuries ago. What the Hermeticist insists is that simple common sense excludes the possibility that the universe is the result of mere chance. This idea seems to him even more absurd than that Euclid's problems were formulated by monkeys playing geometric figures.
There are very few Christians who understand, if they know anything about it at all, Jewish theology. The Talmud is the most obscure mystery even for most Jews, whereas those Jewish scholars who understand it do not brag about it. And even less so are Kabbalistic books, for Christian scholars are working more to uncover their great truths than Jewish ones these days. And how little is known about Eastern or Universal Kabbalah! Few are its adepts, but they are the chosen heirs of the sages who first discovered the "shining truths that shed light on the great Shemaya of Chaldean wisdom," who have penetrated into the mystery of the "absolute" and now rest from their great labors. They cannot give more knowledge than is allowed to a mortal on this earth. And none, not even those chosen, can cross the line drawn by the finger of the deity itself. The travelers met with these adepts on the banks of the sacred Ganges, came across them in the silent ruins of Phoebus, in the mysterious abandoned premises of Luxor. Among the halls, on whose blue and gold vaults mysterious inscriptions attract attention, but in whose secret meaning idle visitors to these places never penetrate - they were also seen there, but rarely recognized. In the historical
His memoirs record their presence in the brilliantly lit salons of the European aristocracy. And again they were encountered in the dry desert plains of the great Sahara or in the caves of Elephanta. They can be found everywhere, but they allow themselves to be recognized only by those who have devoted their lives to selfless study and are not inclined to retreat.
Maimonides, the great Jewish theologian and historian, who at one time was almost deified by the Jews and later regarded as a heretic, says that the most absurd and meaningless places in the Talmud seem to him the most sublime in their innermost meaning. This scientist successfully demonstrated that the Chaldean magic, the science of Moses and other Taumaturgs was based entirely on extensive knowledge of various now forgotten branches of natural science. What is it that experts in all the possibilities of wonder, that being vegetable, animal, and mineral kingdoms, having mastered occult chemistry and physics, being at the same time both psychologists and physiologists, having received the initiations of the mysteries in the temples, the adepts could perform miracles which even in our enlightened time may seem supernatural? To brand magic and occult science as deception is an affront to humanity. To believe that for thousands of years one half of humanity has been deceiving the other half is tantamount to saying that the human race is made up of only deceivers and incurable idiots. Where is the country that did not do magic? In what century was it completely forgotten?
In the oldest documents that we now possess, in the Vedas and in the oldest "Laws of Manu," we find that many magical rituals permitted by the Brahmans were performed. In Tibet, Japan, and China, this century is taught the same thing that was taught in ancient Chaldea. The clergy of these countries, moreover, prove in practice what they teach, namely, that the practice of moral and physical purity, together with a certain asceticism, develops in man the vital force of the spirit that gives Self-Insight. By giving this person the power to control his own immortal spirit, it gives him truly magical power over elemental spirits that are below him. The antiquity of magic in the West is not less than in the East. The Druids of Britain engaged in it in the silent recesses of their deep caves. Pliny devotes many chapters to the "wisdom" of the Celt leaders. The Semnons, the Druids of the Gauls, expounded both the physical and spiritual sciences. They taught the secrets of the universe, the harmonious movement of the heavenly bodies, the formation of the Earth and, above all, the immortality of the soul. In their sacred groves - in the academies of nature, erected by the hands of the Invisible Architect - the initiates gathered at midnight to learn what man once was and what he would become. They needed neither artificial light nor harmful living gas to light their temples, as the queen of the night herself shed light on their oak-leafed heads. And
Their white-robed priests knew how to talk to a lone queen in the midst of a star vault.
On the dead soil of long past times are now their sacred oaks, dried up, their spiritual significance torn away by the poisonous breath of materialism. But to the student of the occult, they are as green and luxurious and full of deep and sacred truths as when the Druid Elder performed his magical healings and waved a branch of mistletoe cut off by his golden sickle from the mother trunk of an oak tree. Magic is as old as humanity. It is impossible to name the time when magic appeared, just as it is impossible to name the day when the first person was born. Every time a writer tried to link the idea of magic to any historical country, further research proved the groundlessness of such a statement. Many thought that magic was generated by Odin, a Scandinavian priest and monarch, circa 70 BC. X. But then it was easily proven that the mysterious rites of the priestesses, called Voilers, Valas - existed well before Odin's age. Some tend to argue that the founder of magic was Zoroaster, the founder of magic religion. But Ammianus Marceline, Arnobius, Pliny, and other historians of antiquity strongly argued that he was only a reformer of the kind of magic used by the Chaldeans and Egyptians [XXVI, 6].

The greatest teachers of theology agree that almost all ancient books are written in symbolic language understood only by the initiates. An example of this is a biographical essay on Apollonius of Tyana. As every Kabbalist knows, it embraces the whole philosophy of Hermeticism, being in many respects a contrast to the traditions of King Solomon. It reads like a fairy tale, but just as in the latter, sometimes facts and historical events are presented to the world under the guise of fiction. The voyage of Apollonius of Tyana to India allegorically depicts the trials of the neophyte. His long conversations with the Brahmans, their wise counsel, and dialogue with the Corinthian Menipus, when interpreted, would give an esoteric catechism. His visit to the realm of the sages and his conversation with their king Hayarkas, the Amphierean oracle - give a symbolic interpretation of many of the hidden dogmas of Hermeticism. Once understood, they would reveal some of nature’s most important secrets. Eliphas Levi points out the great similarity that exists between King Hayarkas and the fabulous Hiram, from which Solomon obtained Lebanese cedars and Ophir's gold. We would like to know whether modern Masons, including the Great Mentors and the most intelligent apprentices belonging to the significant lodges, understand who Hiram is, whose death they want to avenge?

The purely metaphysical teaching of Kabbalah, which devoted itself to the study of physical occultism, the so-called therapeutic branch, could bring good results.
Some modern sciences, namely chemistry and medicine. Professor Draper says:
"Sometimes, not without surprise, we come across ideas that we naively believed to have occurred in our time."
This remark was made in connection with the scientific works of the Saracens, and it could be better applied to the more intimate treatises of the ancients. Despite the fact that modern medicine has advanced much in anatomy, physiology and pathology, and even in therapeutics, it has lost immeasurably much by its narrowness of spirit, rigid materialism and sectarian dogmatism. Each school, in its stubborn dullness, ignores all that other schools have developed; and they all unite in ignoring the great concepts developed through mesmerism or American brain-experiments — in ignoring everything that is inconsistent with their crude materialism. It would be necessary to convene a conference of doctors of different schools at war to merge together what has been accumulated from medical knowledge, for too often it happens that the best spend their knowledge and experience unsuccessfully on the patient, and the mesmerizer or some “medium healer” heals him. Researchers in the old medical literature from the time of Hippocrates and Paracelsus and Van Helmont will find a long series of reliable physiological and psychological facts and medicines for the treatment of patients, which modern doctors arrogantly refuse to use. Even in relation to surgery, today’s surgeons modestly and publicly admitted their complete inability to come any closer to the amazing art of dressings and diapers of ancient Egypt. The many hundreds of yards of ligature enveloping the mummy from the ears to each toe separately were examined by leading surgeons in Paris and despite the model being in front of them, they were not able to do anything like this.
In the Egyptian collection of Abbott in New York, you can see numerous evidences of the skill of the ancients in various crafts; among other things - in artistic knitting, in lace making; and although it was difficult to expect this, signs of female vanity went side by side with signs of male power - samples of artificial hair and gold jewelry of various kinds were found. The New York Tribune, giving an overview of the Eber Papyrus, says:
"There is nothing new under the sun. From Chapters 65, 66, 79 and 89 it is seen that hair color restorers, hair coloring, painkillers and flea powders were in motion 3400 years ago".
How few of our recent discoveries are really new, and how many of them belong to the ancients, is again very true and eloquent, albeit only in part, says our eminent philosopher-writer Professor John W. Draper. His book
The History of the Conflict between Religion and Science (a great book with a very bad title) is full of such facts. On page 13, he gives examples of some of the achievements of ancient philosophers that have been admired throughout Greece. In Babylon there are a number of astronomical observations dating back to the past for one thousand nine hundred and three years, which Kalisten sent to Aristotle. Ptolemy, the Egyptian king-astronomist, kept records of the Babylonians about solar eclipses during the period 747 BC. As Professor Draper rightly points out:
“It took long, continuous and careful observations to make sure they were correct. It turned out that the Babylonians recorded the length of the tropical year with an error of only 25 seconds, their calculation of the stellar year was incorrect for only two extra minutes; they traced the pattern of equinoxes. They knew the causes of the eclipses and, through their cycle called saros, could predict them. Their calculation of this cycle, in which more than 6585 days did not coincide with only 19 and a half minutes.
Such facts serve as irrefutable proofs of the patience and skill with which astronomy was cultivated in Mesopotamia and that, despite the imperfection of the instruments, they have achieved significant results. These ancient observers of the celestial vault compiled a catalog of stars and divided the zodiac into 12 signs; they divided the day into 12 hours and the night into 12 hours. They, as Aristotle said, devoted themselves to long observations of the starry sky and the moon. They made corrections to the views on the structure of the solar system and knew the order of the planets. They created sundials, clepsydra (water clocks), astrolabes, gnomons.
Speaking of the world of eternal truth, which lies "inside the world of transients
deceptions and unrealities," Professor Draper says:
“That world should not be tried through empty traditions that have brought to us the opinions of people who lived at the dawn of civilization; nor through the dreams of mystics who thought they were inspired. It should be discovered by studying geometry and by practical searching for answers to questions in nature.
Right. You better not. This eloquent writer told us a profound truth. He did not tell us the whole truth, because he knows it. He did not describe what kind of knowledge and to what extent was given in the mysteries. None of the later generations had such knowledge of geometry as the builders of the pyramids and other titanic monuments, pre-Flood and post-Flood. On the other hand, no one has yet surpassed them in the ability to find practical answers to questions in nature.

It is an embodied idea that combines the concept of the divine invisible with the earthly and visible. The first is derived from the latter strictly by analogy of the formula of Hermeticism - "both at the bottom and at the top". Their symbols show a great knowledge of the natural sciences and the practical study of cosmic forces.
Research
As to the practical results that can be obtained "by means of geometry", interested, we are no longer forced to be satisfied with mere guesses. American George X. Felt of New York, who, if he continues as he began, will one day be recognized as the greatest geometer of the century, has been able, by the mere presuppositions established by the ancient Egyptians, to achieve the results which we shall state in our own words.

"In the first place," says Felt, "these premises give a basic scheme to which the whole science of elementary geometry, both planimetry and stereometry, can be traced by the traces of the ancients; they give the systems of proportions the possibility of geometrical identification in all that remains of Egyptian architecture and sculpture, and in all that has been applied to them with the greatest precision; and they give the solution to all that has been used by the Egyptians."
Later, this system enabled him “to define precisely problems of physiology that had previously only been guessed at, and to be the first to develop a Masonic philosophy which appears to be as much the first science and religion as it will be the last”. To this we may add that it makes it possible to prove, by visible demonstration, that the Egyptian sculptors and architects took their models for the fanciful figures adorning the façades and vestibules of their temples not from their own disorderly imagination, but from the “invisible races inhabiting the air” and other kingdoms of nature, which they knew how to make visible through chemical and Kabbalistic processes.
Schweiger argues that the symbols of all mythologies have a scientific basis and essence. Only thanks to recent discoveries on the physical electromagnetic forces of nature such connoisseurs of mesmerism as Ennemoser, Schweiger and Bart in Germany, Baron Du Potet and Regazoni in France and Italy were able to trace with almost perfect accuracy the true connection that every divine myth has with the universe.
One of those forces. The Idaic finger, which played such a significant role in the magical art of healing, simply means an iron finger that is naturally magnetic. In Samothrace, they performed miracles of healing by bringing the damaged organs to a normal state.

Barth penetrates deeper than Schweiger into the meaning of ancient myths and studies this subject from both its spiritual and physical sides. He treats comprehensively of Phrygian dactyls, "magicians and healers" and Caberian theurgists. He says:
With his magical skills,
When we treat of dactyls and their use by magnetic forces, we do not mean merely a metal magnet, but the magnetism of nature as a whole. And then it becomes clear how the initiates, called dactyls, led people to perform miracles of wonder healing. To this must be added many other things than the priesthood of antiquity did: they taught to cultivate the land, taught morality, promoted science and the arts, participated in mysteries and secret initiations. All this was done by the priests in the Kabiri, and why should they not be allowed to be led and supported by the mysterious spirits of nature?
Schweiger holds the same view and argues that the phenomena of ancient theurgy were produced by magnetic forces "under the guidance of spirits." Despite the apparent polytheism, the ancients, at least the educated class, were completely monotheistic, and this was centuries before Moses. In the Papyrus of Ebers, this fact is indisputably stated in the following words, which are translated from the first four lines of the first page.
“I came from Heliopolis with the great ones of Het-aat, with the protector gods, the lords of eternity and salvation. I came from Sais with the mother goddesses who had extended protection over me. And the Lord of the universe told me how to rid the gods of all deadly diseases.
The ancients called them gods. The deification of mortal men and false gods by the ancients is no more proof against their monotheism than the erection of monuments by modern Christians who erect statues to their heroes is proof of their polytheism. Americans of this century would consider it absurd if their descendants 3000 years later would accuse them of idolatry for erecting statues to their god Washington. Hermetic philosophy was so veiled that Volney claimed that the peoples of antiquity worshipped their gross material symbols, considering them themselves divine, whereas in fact they depicted esoteric principles. Dupuis also, after spending many years researching the problem, was wrong about
their symbolic circle and attributed their religion exclusively to astronomy. Eberhardt ("Berlin Monthly") and many other German writers of the past and present centuries have dealt with magic in the most unceremonious way and attribute its origin to Plato's myth "Timeus". But how, without knowledge of the mysteries, could these writers, or any other men who had not the subtle intuition of Champollion, discover the esoteric half of what is hidden behind the veil of Isis for all but adepts?
The merits of Champollion, as an Egyptologist, no one will dispute. And he claims that everything speaks for the fact that the Egyptians were deep monotheists. The accuracy of the writings of the mysterious Hermes Trismegistus, whose antiquity goes into the darkness of time, is confirmed by him in the smallest detail. Ennemoser also says, "Herodotus, Thales, Parmenides, Empedocles, Orpheus, and Pythagoras came to Egypt and to the East to learn natural philosophy and theology. There Moses acquired his wisdom, and Jesus spent the young years of his life. Students from all over the world were flocking there before Alexandria was founded.
"Why is it," Ennemoser asks, "that we know so little about these mysteries? After all, they existed for many centuries at different times and among different peoples? - The answer is that this happened due to strict observance of the mystery of initiation. Another reason can be found in the destruction and complete loss of handwritten materials on the secret knowledge of gray antiquity.
The books of Numa, described by Livy, consisting of treatises on natural philosophy, were found in his grave. But they were not allowed to get acquainted with them so that the most secret secrets of the state religion would not be revealed. The Senate and the people's tribunes decided that the books themselves should be burned, which was done publicly [I, 9].
Magic was considered a divine science, which leads to participation in
properties of divinity itself.
"It reveals the essence of the activity of nature," says Philo Judaea, "and leads to the contemplation of the heavenly forces." In later periods, its abuse and degeneration into witchcraft made it the object of universal hatred. Therefore, we must only touch on magic as it was in the distant past, when every true religion was based on the knowledge of the occult forces of nature.
It was not the class of priests of ancient Persia who instituted magic, as is commonly thought, but the magicians who derived its name from it. Mobedi, priests of Parsi - ancient ghebers - even in our time in the Pahlavi dialect are called Magoi [Zend-Avesta, II, p. 506]. Magic appeared in the world along with the first races of people. Cassian mentions a treatise on magic, well known in the fourth and fifth centuries, attributed to Ham, son of Noah, who in turn is said to have received it from Jared the fourth generation of Seth, son of Adam [I, 21].
His knowledge of Moses was due to the mother of the Egyptian princess Thermutis, who saved him from the waters of the Nile. The wife of Pharaoh, Batria, who was herself initiated and to whom the Jews owe the receipt of their prophet, "And Moses was taught all the wisdom of Egypt, and was strong in words and deeds" [Acts 199, VII, 22]. Justinian Martyr, referring to Pompey the Hermit, describes Joseph as having acquired great knowledge in the art of magic from the high priests of Egypt [XXXVI, 2].
For some sciences the ancients knew more than they have hitherto known.
It was discovered by our modern scientists.
Although reluctant to admit it, it was recognized by more than one scientist. “The degree of scientific knowledge that existed in the early period of human society was significantly higher than what contemporaries want to admit,” says Dr. A. Todd Thomson, editor of Salvert's Occult Knowledge; "but." he adds, "this knowledge was enclosed in temples, carefully veiled from the eyes of the people, and accessible only to the class of clergymen." Speaking of Kabbalah, the scholar Franz von Baader says: “Not only our salvation and wisdom, but our science itself came to us from the Jews.” But why not add to this phrase and tell the reader from whom the Jews received their wisdom?
Origen, who belonged to the Alexandrian school of Plato’s followers, states that Moses, in addition to the teachings set forth in the Old Testament, communicated several very important secrets “from the hidden depths of the law” to the seventy elders. He gave them the right to communicate this knowledge only to those whom they find worthy.
St. Jerome calls the Jews of Tiberias and Lydia the only teachers of secret interpretation. Finally, Ennemoser expresses a firm belief that Dionysius' writings of Areopagite are clearly based on the Jewish Kabbalah. If we take into consideration that the Gnostics, or early Christians, were only followers of the old Essenes under a new name, then this fact is not surprising. Professor Molitor pays tribute to Kabbalah. He says:
The age of inconsistency and surface in theology has passed, as in science, and since revolutionary rationalism has left nothing behind it but its own emptiness, destroying everything positive, it seems that now is the time to turn our attention again to the mysterious revelation representing the living spring from which our salvation must come. It can be expected that in the mysteries of ancient Israel, which contain all the secrets of modern Israel, one can find ... the skeleton of theology, which rests on the deepest Theosophical principles and can serve as a solid basis for all the ideal sciences. This will open new paths... in the dark labyrinth of myths, mysteries, and the basis of the positions of the primary peoples. These traditions contain a system of schools of prophets that Samuel did not establish, but only restored; these schools had no other purpose than to lead scientists to wisdom and higher knowledge, and if anyone found
They have revealed deeper secrets to him. Along with this, there was magic, dual in nature - divine magic and evil magic or black art. Each of them can still be divided into two types: active and contemplating; in the first, a person makes efforts to know the hidden through interaction with the world, in the second, he makes efforts to acquire power over spirits. In the first case, a person does good and virtuous deeds, and in the latter he commits all kinds of diabolical and unnatural deeds. 185].

The clergy of the three most prominent Christian churches - disapprovingly Greek, Roman Catholic and Protestant - treat every spiritual phenomenon manifested through the so-called "mediums". Indeed, only a very short period of time has elapsed since the first two of these three Christian organizations burned, hanged, or otherwise put to death every helpless sacrifice through which spirits, and sometimes blind and as yet unidentified forces of nature, manifested themselves. At the head of these three churches stands the Roman Church. Her hands ala from the innocent blood of countless victims, which is the deity who heads her faith. She's ready to heat up again. But she is bound hand and foot by the spirit of progress and nineteenth-century religious freedom she scolds and scolds every day. The Greek-Russian Church is the most good-natured and Christ-like in its primitive and simple, albeit blind faith. Despite the fact that there was no practical unification between the Greek and Latin churches, and they split centuries ago, the Roman popes seem to be completely ignoring this fact. They most arrogantly claim jurisdiction not only over the religious communities of the Greek Orthodox countries, but also over all Protestants.

“[The Catholic] Church insists,” says Prof. Draper, “that the state has no rights over anything that the church has declared to be in its power, and that Protestantism, which is only a rebellion, has no rights; and that even in the legitimate pastor of Protestant parishes there is a Catholic bishop.”. 329].
The only
Decrees (papal), left unattended, encyclical letters without reading, invitations to ecumenical (universal) councils, left unnoticed and ridiculed excommunications from the church - all this is nothing for the Catholic Church. Their persistence can only be compared to their arrogance. And the climax of absurdity was reached in 1864, when Pope Pius IX excommunicated and publicly anathematized the Russian emperor as "a schismatic thrown out of the bosom of the holy mother - the church." Neither he, nor his ancestors, nor Russia, since they became Christian a thousand years ago, have agreed to join the Christian movement.
The Catholic Church. Why then not claim ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the Buddhists of Tibet or over the shadows of the ancient Hyksos?
Mediumistic phenomena have manifested in every age, both in Russia and in other countries. This force disregards religious differences; it laughs at nationalities and intrudes uninvited into any individual, whether crowned or destitute. Even the present vice-god, Pius IX, has been unable to protect himself from this uninvited guest. It is known that for the past fifty years His Holiness has been subject to very strange fits. Within the Vatican, these are called divine visions. Outside the Vatican, doctors call them epileptic seizures, while popular rumour attributes them to possession by the spirits of Perugia, Castelfidardo and Mentana! “The lights turn blue. The midnight hour is dead. My trembling body is bathed in cold sweat. It seemed to me that all the souls of those I had killed had gathered.”
The hunchback duke, so famous for his healing power during the first quarter of our century, was himself a great medium. In fact, these phenomena and forces do not belong to one or another age or country. They form part of the psychological attributes of man - microcosm.

For centuries, clichés, fools, and other unfortunates have suffered from a strange disorder that the Russian clergy and population attribute to possession by the devil. They crowd at the entrances to the temples, not daring to get inside, so that their capricious, possessed demons could not throw them on the ground. Voronezh, Kiev, Kazan and all cities where there are miracle-working such unconscious mediums. They can always be found gathered in disgusting groups, loitering near gates or porticos. At a certain stage of service by priests, prayer, namely, when taking out holy gifts or at the beginning of prayer, when the choir performs "Izhe cherubim", these half-maniacs, half-mediums begin to sing roosters, bark, moan and scream in a donkey and finally fall to the ground in terrible convulsions. "The unclean Spirit cannot bear holy prayer," is usually the pious explanation. Sorrow-driven, some kind of benevolent souls give "unfortunate" strengthening medicines and distribute charity among them. Sometimes a priest is invited to cast out demons, in which case he performs this ceremony either in the name of love and mercy, or in the seductive hope of getting a 20-coin for it - what will be the Christian impulse. But these unfortunate creatures, who are mediums, for they prophesy and sometimes see visions (if their fits are not fake - no one hurts them, no one annoys them because of their misfortune. Why should the clergy pursue them? Why should people hate and despise them as some cursed witches and sorcerers? A sound mind and a sense of justice should tell everyone that if someone needs to be punished, then in no case
A helpless victim, and that demon who is said to control his actions. The worst thing that can happen to such a patient is that the priest will pour water on him or her, and the poor creature will catch a runny nose. When this does not help, the clique is left to the will of God, leaving it to the cares of merciful people. Superstitious and blind faith exercised on such principles certainly deserves some respect and cannot be offensive to either man or the true God. But this was not the case with the Roman Catholics, and therefore it is they and, secondly, the Protestant clergy (with the exception of some advanced thinkers among them) that we intend to question in this work. We want to know what they are basing the Chinese on, to treat the Spiritualists and Kabbalists as they do, condemn, vilify them, call them infidels (such infidels are their own invention), and treat them as criminals sentenced to torment in an inextinguishable hellfire.
With the Hindus,

We are far from the idea of disrespect, let alone blasphemy, for the divine power that gave existence to all things, visible and invisible. We do not even dare to think about its greatness and boundless perfection. It is enough for us to know that She exists and She is all-knowing. It is enough that together with all creatures, our brothers, we have the spark of Her essence. That supreme Power which we revere is the infinite and infinite great "CENTRAL SPIRITUAL SUN," whose attributes and visible manifestations of the inaudible will we are surrounded by is the God of the ancients and the God of the modern seers. His nature can be studied only in the worlds brought into existence by his mighty POWER. His revelation is inscribed with His own finger in the incorruptible signs of universal harmony on the face of the cosmos. This is the only unadulterated gospel we recognize.
Speaking of the ancient geographers, Plutarch notes in the Theseus that they pile up parts of the world on the edges of their maps, which they themselves do not know, adding to the notes in the fields that behind all this there is nothing else but sandy deserts full of wild animals and impassable swamps. Do not our scientists and theologians do the same? While the first (theologians) inhabit the invisible world with angels or devils, our philosophers try to convince their students that where there is no matter, there is nothing.
How many of our inveterate skeptics, despite their materialism, are in Masonic lodges? Rosicrucians who use the mysteries of the powerful mediums in practice still exist - but only in the title. They may shed tears at the grave of their esteemed master Hiram Abif; but in vain will they seek the true location "where the branch of myrtle was laid." Only a dead letter left the spirit. They are like English or Germanic choirs on Italian opera, which in the fourth act of "Ernani" descend into the crypt of Charlemagne and sing their own songs.
A conspiracy in a language they don't know. So our temporary Knights of the Holy Concourse can descend every night, if they wish, "through the nine vaults into the interior of the earth," and "never find the sacred delta of Enoch." The Knights of the South and the Knights of the North Valley may try to make sure that "light penetrates their minds" and as they progress through the ranks of Freemasonry "the veil of superstition, despotism and tyranny" etc. no longer darkens the insights of their minds. But all these are empty words as long as they neglect their mother's magic and turn their backs on her twin sister Spiritualism. In truth, "lords of the knights of the East" you can "leave your parking lots and sit on the floor in a posture of grief, put your head over your hands", for you have a reason to moan and mourn your fate. Ever since Philip the Beautiful destroyed the Templar Knights, no one has appeared to dispel your doubts, despite all the opposite claims. True, you are "the wanderers of Jerusalem, seeking the lost treasure of the sacred place." Did you find him? Alas, no! For the sacred place is defiled, the pillars of wisdom, power, and beauty are destroyed. From now on, "you must wander in darkness" and "travel in humility" among the forests and mountains in search of the "lost word." "Next!" - you will never find it until you limit your journey to a family or even to seven because you are "traveling in darkness" and darkness can only be dispelled by the light of the flaming torch of truth that is in the hands of the true descendants of Ormuzd. Only they can teach you the correct pronunciation of the name revealed to Enoch, James, and Moses. "Next!" While your R. S. W. will learn to make 333, and spread out in return 666 - number of the apocalyptic Beast, you can also observe prudence, as well as the laws of the fraternity "Rose".

those concepts which the ancients adhered to in relation to the division of human history into cycles, do not finish completely familiarizing the reader with one of the oldest traditions of antiquity concerning the evolution of our planet.

At the end of every "great year" called by Aristotle - according to Censorin - the greatest, which consists of six caps, a great physical revolution takes place on our planet. The polar and equatorial first climates move slowly towards the equator, and the tropical zone with its luxurious vegetation and infesting animal life is replaced by the harsh deserts of the ice poles. This change of climates is necessarily accompanied by cataclysms, earthquakes and other cosmic convulsions. As the oceanic reservoirs shift at the end of each ten-thousand-year period, a semi-universal flood like the legendary Noah’s flood will occur. And this year in Greek is called the Heliacal; but no one outside the walls of the sanctuaries knew anything definite about its duration and other details. This year’s winter was called a cataclysm or flood, and the summer was called an ecriosis.
Eupolemius,
A popular tradition teaches that during these alternating seasons, the world will be burned and flooded in turn. This is what we learn at least from Censorin and Seneca's Astronomical Fragments. Regarding the length of this year, all commentators are very uncertain - so uncertain that none of them, except Herodotus and Lina, who attributed this year to the duration - the first 10800 years, the last - 13984 years - did not come close to the truth (III, 29). According to the statements of the Babylonian priests, confirmed by their appearance to people who had escaped from the flood disaster; they were giants and they built a tower marked in history. These giants, who were great astrologers and, in addition, received from their fathers the “sons of God” all the teachings concerning the hidden knowledge, taught priests in their turn and left in the temples all the records of the periodic cataclysms to which they themselves witnessed. This is how the High Priests got their knowledge of the great years. Furthermore, when we recall that Plato in Timaeus quotes an old Egyptian priest reproaching Solon for his ignorance of the fact that there had already been several such deluges as the great flood of Ogiges, we can easily see that this belief in heliacos was the doctrine known to initiated clergymen throughout the world.

The neros, vrihaspati, or periods called yugas or kalpas present a lifelong task to resolve. Satya Yuga and Buddhist chronological cycles would make a mathematician recoil at the rows of figures. A mahakalpa encompasses countless periods stretching far back into antediluvian times. Their system comprises a kalpa, or great period, of 4,320,000,000 years, divided into four smaller yugas in the following order: First—Satya Yuga, 1728000 years; Second—Treta Yuga, 1296000 years; Third—Dvapara Yuga, 864000 years; Fourth—Kali Yuga, 432000 years. Total: 4320000 years, constituting one divine age, or mahayuga. Seventy-one mahayugas make 306,720,000 years, to which is added a sandhya—the time when day and night meet, the morning and evening twilight—equal to one Satya Yuga, or 1,728,000 years. This makes one manvantara of 308,448,000 years. Fourteen manvantaras make 4,318,272,000 years; adding the sandhya that begins a kalpa, 1,728,000 years, gives a kalpa, or great period, of 4,320,000,000 years. Since we are now in the Kali Yuga of the twenty-eighth age of the seventh manvantara of 308,448,000 years, we still have ample time ahead before even half of the time allotted to the world has elapsed.
These figures are not a product of fantasy, they are based on actual astronomical calculations, as proved by C. Davis.
Many scientists, including Higgins, despite their research, come to be puzzled about which of these cycles is the innermost cycle. Bunsen argued that the Egyptian priests - the compilers of the cyclic records - kept them in the deepest secrecy. Perhaps the difficulty arose from the fact that the calculations of the ancients were equally concerned with the spiritual advancement of mankind and the physical. It is not difficult to understand the close relationship found by the ancients between the cycles of nature and humanity, if we do not forget their faith in the constant and powerful influence of the planets on the fate of mankind. Higgins correctly believed that the cycle of the Indian system 432000 It is the true key to the secret cycle. But his failure in trying to decipher it is obvious, for as this cycle relates to the mysteries of creation, it is the most impregnable of all. It was repeated in symbolic numbers only in the Chaldean Book of Numbers, if it is preserved, and it should not be searched in libraries, since it is one of the most ancient Books of Hermes, the number of which is currently uncertain. By calculating the Great Neros or the Indian Kalpas by means of a secret period, some Kabbalists, mathematicians, and archaeologists, who know nothing of secret calculations, will turn the above number into 21000 Years in 24000 years, considering this to be the duration of the Great Year, since they thought that the last period in 6000 This is only for the renewal of our planet. Higgins explains that in ancient times it was thought that the equinoxes followed at a rate of 2000, not 2160 years in one sign; and thus the length of the Great Year would be four times as long as 6000 or 24000 years. "Hence," he says, "their extremely elongated cycles could have arisen, for with the Great Year the same would have happened as with the ordinary year, while he would have described the extremely elongated circle and returned to the starting point again." Therefore, he explains these 24000 “If the angle which the plane of the ecliptic forms with the plane of the equator were to decrease gradually and regularly, as it has been supposed until very recently, the two planes would coincide in about ten centuries, 6000 years; ten centuries later, 6000 The sun would be located in the southern hemisphere in a relatively similar way as it is now located in the northern hemisphere; another ten centuries later, 6000 The two planes would coincide again, and ten centuries later, 6000 It would have been located again where it is now, after about twenty-four or twenty-five thousand years in all. When the sun arrives at the equator, ten centuries or 6000 The world will be destroyed by fire; when it arrives at the southern point, it will be destroyed by water. And so it will collapse at the end of each 6000 "Ten years or so.".
This method of calculation by means of neross, without taking into account the mystery in which the ancient philosophers belonging to the priestly class clothed their knowledge, led to the greatest mistakes. This led the Jews, like some Christian Platonists, to
The world will be destroyed at the end of six thousand years. Gail shows how firmly this belief is rooted in the Jews. It also caused modern scientists to lose all faith in the hypotheses of the ancients. This has contributed to the emergence of a variety of religious sects that, like the Adventists of our time, are always waiting for light to come.
Just as our planet revolves around the sun during the year, and at the same time revolves around its axis every twenty-four hours, thus running through smaller cycles within a larger one, so the work of smaller cyclic periods is completed and begins again within the Great Saros. The turnover of the physical world, according to the ancient doctrine, is accompanied by the same turnover in the world of thought - the spiritual evolution of the world is carried out in cycles in the same way as the physical one. Therefore, in history, we observe a regular alternation of tides and ebbs of human development. The great kingdoms and empires of this world, after attaining their culminating ascent, descend again according to the same law by which they once rose; and humanity descends to the lowest point, gathers again with strength, and rises again, and the height of its ascent, according to the law of the progression of cycles, this time will be slightly higher than the point from which it last began its descent. The division of human history into the Golden, Silver, Copper and Iron Ages is not fiction. We see the same thing in the literature of nations. After a century of great inspiration and unconscious creativity, an age of criticism and consciousness inevitably comes. The first provides material for the analyzing and criticizing mind of the second.
Thus all those great personalities who, like giants, rise in the history of mankind, like Buddha Sidharta and Jesus in the spiritual field and Alexander the Great and Napoleon in the field of physical conquests, are only a reflection of the images of human types that existed tens of thousands of years before in previous eras, recreated again by the mysterious forces that control the destinies of our world. There is not a single outstanding person in all the annals of both sacred and secular history whose prototypes we could not find in the half-fictional and half-real traditions of long-vanished religions and mythologies. As a star shimmering at an immeasurable distance above our heads in the vastness of the sky is reflected in the calm waters of the lake, so the images of people of the antediluvian ages are reflected in the periods of time covered by the eyes of history.
"As above, so below. What happened will come back again. In heaven and on earth.”
The world is always ungrateful to its great people. Florence erected a monument to Galileo, but barely mentions Pythagoras. Galileo had the right leadership in the treatises of Copernicus, who had to fight against the world-wide system of Ptolemy.
But neither Galileo nor modern astronomy were the discoverers of the location of planetary bodies. Thousands of years before this, the arrangement of planetary bodies was taught by the sages of Central Asia, and was brought from there by Pythagoras not as speculation, but as established science.
"The numbers of Pythagoras," says Porphyry, "were hieroglyphic symbols by which he explained all ideas concerning the nature of everything."
It is only in ancient times that we must seek the origins of all things. How well Hargrave Jennings put it when he talked about the pyramids, and how true his words are when he asks:
Is it reasonable to conclude that in a time when science stood so high, when human forces, compared with ours in the present time, were amazing - that in such a time these indestructible creations are hard to believe - such achievements as those of the Egyptians - were devoted to delusion? that the myriads of the Nile inhabitants were fools, who were in the darkness, and that all the magic of their great people was only in their Don't! Far more is hidden in these old religions than we are likely to be in our courage to deny and in the self-confidence of our superficially scientific time and in ridiculing our days without faith — than we are even able to imagine. We do not understand the ancient times. Thus we see that classical practice and pagan teaching can be reconciled, as even non-Jewish and Jewish, mythological and Christian harmonize in their common belief based on magic. That magic is indeed possible is the moral of this book.”
It's possible. Thirty years ago, when the first knocks of Rochester awakened a dormant attention to the reality of the invisible world; when the faint rustle of light knocks gradually turned into a flood that flooded the entire planet, the Spiritualists had to confront two powerful forces - theology and science. But the Theosophists have to speak against the whole world and first of all against the Spiritualists.
“There is a personal God and there is a personal Devil,” as the Christian preacher thunders. "Anathema to one who dares to say that they are not." - "No - a personal God, except for the gray matter of our brain," the materialist replies contemptuously. “There is no devil. And three times an idiot is he who says he is." Meanwhile, the Occultists and the True Philosophers do not listen to either of these two disputants and persist in their work. None of them believe in the absurd, quick-tempered, and fickle God of superstition, but they all believe in good and evil. Our human reason, the emanation of the finite mind, is without doubt incapable of comprehending the divine mind, the infinite and the infinite.
A limitless being; and, strictly logically, that which transcends our understanding and which remains completely incomprehensible to our senses, cannot exist, hence does not exist. But on the other hand, our Ego(s) — that which lives and thinks and feels independent of us in our mortal shell — more than believes, it knows that there is a God in nature, for this one invincible Builder of all things lives in us as we live in Him. No dogmatic belief or exact science can eradicate this intuitive feeling, which was born to man when he once fully realized it.
Human nature is like universal nature in that it is not
It endures emptiness.
She feels an intuitive longing for the Supreme Power. Without God, the cosmos would look like a soulless corpse. Since man was forbidden to look for God in the only place where His footprints could be found, he filled this painful void with a personal God, whom his spiritual teachers built for him from the crumbling ruins of pagan myths and gray philosophies of antiquity. How else to explain the abundant emergence of new sects that grow like mushrooms, and some of them are absurd? Humanity has one innate irrepressible desire that must be satisfied by any religion that will supplant the dogmatic unproven and unproven theology of our Christian ages. It is a desire to obtain proof of immortality. Sir Thomas Brown put it this way:
“There is no heavier stone than the discouragement one can throw at a man, how one can tell him that the end of his existence has come, or that there is no future life in relation to which this (earthly) life seems to be an approaching stage, and that it has been lived in vain.”
Let any religion appear which is in a position to give these proofs (the immortality of the soul) in the form of scientific facts, and then the present system of religious beliefs will be put before an alternative or confirm their dogmas with such facts, or completely lose the respect and love of the Christian world. Many Christian clergymen were forced to admit that they had no reliable source from which a person could gain confidence about any afterlife. How then could such a belief (of the afterlife) have held sway among all nations for countless centuries, if men, both civilized and savage, were not given clear proofs? Is not the very existence of such a belief evidence that both the reasoning philosopher and the unreasoning savage were forced to admit what they felt? And if in some cases phantom illusions could arise from physical causes, then, on the other hand, in thousands of cases of ghosts people conducted conversations with several people.
The people who immediately saw and heard the ghost collectively, and could not be disturbed in their minds.
The greatest thinkers of Greece and Rome looked upon such things as proven facts. They distinguished ghosts by categories: manas, anima and umbra;
Manas, after the death of man, descended into the underworld; the anima or pure spirit ascended to heaven, and the umbra that could not find peace (earthly attractions tied to the earth) wandered near its grave, since it was dominated by material attractions that prevented it from rising into the higher spheres. Orcus habet manes, spiritus astra petit," says Ovid, speaking of the threefold constitution of souls.
But all such definitions must be subjected to a careful analysis of philosophy. Too many of our thinkers do not take into account the fact that numerous changes in languages, allegorical phraseology and the obvious tendency to secrecy of mystics-writers of antiquity, who made a commitment never to disclose the solemn mysteries of the sanctuary, could lead into great errors translators and commentators. The phrases of the medieval alchemists they understood only literally, and even Plato's veiled symbolism, in general, is misunderstood by modern scientists. Some day they will learn to understand better, and then they will learn that the method of extreme non-sessarianism was applied by the ancients as it is applied in modern philosophy, that from the first centuries of man's existence the basic truths about everything we are allowed to learn on earth were in the secure custody of the adepts of the sanctuary; that differences in beliefs and religious manifestations were only external, and that those guardians of the primary divine revelations were under. Let philology and psychology find the end of this thread. When this end is found, then it will be possible to make sure that by weakening the loop of the old religious systems alone, the whole chain of mystery can be unraveled.

The neglect and rejection of this evidence has driven such prominent minds as Haer and Wallace and other powerful men into the pen of Spiritualism. At the same time, this neglect and refusal forced others, a generation devoid of spiritual intuition, to fall into gross materialism, which appears under various names.
But we do not see the need to continue discussing this subject now. For though, in the opinion of most of our contemporaries, there was only one day of learning, in the morning twilight of which stood the philosophers of antiquity, and all the brilliance of the bright light of the noon is entirely ours; and though the evidence of multitudes of ancient and medieval thinkers as if proved worthless to modern experimenters, it would be as if the world had begun to exist from the first century of our era, and as if all
knowledge of only the most recent origin - we do not lose either hope or courage.
This moment is as favorable as possible for the revision of ancient philosophies. Archaeologists, philologists, astronomers, chemists and physicists are getting closer and closer to where they will be forced to reckon with them. Physical science has already reached the limits of its research; dogmatic theology sees that the springs of its inspiration have dried up. And if these signs are not noticed, then, still, the day is approaching when the population of our planet will receive evidence that only ancient religions were in harmony with nature, and that ancient science covered everything that could be known. Long-held secrets can be revealed, long-forgotten books and long-lost art can be brought back to life, papyrus and parchment of inestimable value can be exposed and in the hands of people pretending to find them by bandaging mummies, or stumbled upon them in hiding. Stone slabs and columns, whose sculpturally depicted revelations will overwhelm theologians and embarrass scholars, can still be discovered and translated. Who knows the possibilities of the future? The era of liberation from illusions and perestroika will soon begin - no! it has already begun! The cycle has almost completed its cycle; a new cycle will soon begin, and future pages of history may contain full evidence and provide full proof that

The world system is collapsing!
Lyndon LaRouche
29 January 2008
The article is intended for the general international public.
It should be emphasized that the whole planet is compressed in the grip of a dynamic general crisis, a crisis that destroys the entire structure of the world financial system. In short: there is no country whose national economy is not equally threatened by the impending largest catastrophe since the dark 14 century of European history. If one of the world’s largest economies collapses, everyone else will follow. There is a choice of ways to remedy the situation, if they are understood and accepted as soon as possible.
The most obvious reason for the loss of the ability to intellectually comprehend the situation by most governments of the world is in relation to modern crisis phenomena from the point of view of old economic, as well as socio-political and cultural dogmas, which is characteristic of almost all modern governments on all continents. If the entrenched erroneous approaches do not change at least some governments of the leading countries of the world, the planet is doomed to new dark ages, and this will happen very soon, and will affect all corners of the planet.
The most interesting and important reason for the shortcomings of most governments of the world and most important institutions is the dominant tendency to analyze all the most important events of the planetary scale from the point of view of the mechanistic Cartesian diversity, but not the dynamic anti-Cartesian approach of Leibniz, developed later by Riemann.[1] The question is not in the kinematic interaction of countries, but in the need to consider the crisis as a whole in terms of the Riemannian dynamics of the planetary system of the physical economy, not the currency. Failure to understand the importance of such a distinction may soon prove fatal to all countries that have been unable to understand this conceptual amendment.
1. Nature of the crisis
The world systemic crisis in its modern form first manifested itself in 1865-1877, in the form of a British reaction to the defeat that US President Abraham Lincoln inflicted on the project of Lord Palmerston, who helped create an obedient British Empire structure - the treacherous Confederate States of America.[2] Further development of the United States through the implementation of such tasks as the creation of a single transcontinental railway system defined the contours of the current so-called "geo".
The material background of London’s hysterical reaction to Lincoln’s victory can be understood from the fact that the basis of the global superiority of European cultures was the physical, economic and strategic advantages of marine cultures over peoples confined on land. This was the advantage of European cultures that grew from ancient cultures of the sea coasts. Lincoln's legacy - the development of the American economy as a transcontinental system of railways and inland waterways, just as Europe began to develop along waterways during the time of Charlemagne, became a major threat to the British imperial system.
The era of the great wars, the harbinger of which was the assassination of Lincoln at the behest of London3] began with the British-inspired Japanese wars against China 1895-1945 Total expenditure From the Japan-China conflict grew the Russo-Japanese war 1904-1905 Total expenditure It was followed by the Balkan Wars, which served as the impetus for the world war 1914-1917 Mr.,[4] bringing the British to power the fascist regimes of Mussolini and Hitler, World War II 1939-1945 Bertrand Russell's plan for permanent nuclear confrontation 1946-1989 Total expenditure These are the first examples of the ongoing global strategic conflict.
Within the United States, the division in the ongoing conflict in political and economic leadership is along the lines of patriotic forces, personified by President Roosevelt, and the interests of the Anglo-Dutch financial group, whose interests were essentially served by the traitorous presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, etc.
The Bush–Cheney administration of 2001-2008, in whose formation George Shultz played a key role,[5] was always controlled from London; Cheney and his wife themselves are puppets of Fabian circles linked to Tony Blair. Even rehabilitation from alcoholism did not enable President Bush Jr to become anything other than a pathetic puppet in the hands of London-linked circles controlling
administration to control (and the fraudulently designed administration of President Bloomberg).
Convergence
Bush - Cheney
The central role in this conflict is played by modern Anglo-Dutch financiers - the offspring of persons grouped around the East India Company (e.g. Lord Shelburne), who seized imperial power in their personal financial interests as a result of the Peace of Paris 1763 years, after England had drawn the leading European powers into the Seven Years' War. Since then, c 1763 The main enemy of humanity is those who created and brought to power Hitler - Anglo-Dutch heirs of neo-Venetian financial interests. Prince Edward Albert of Wales at the end XIX century - the most visual personification of the world processes that began in February 1763 Years and continuing to this day.
The ultimate goal of London and its foolish American and European cronies in their attempts to destroy the United States in the course of the financial and economic war is to eliminate the United States as a factor of world politics as a whole. If the efforts of the British and their trained European commoners succeed, the whole world will plunge into a general comparable, but destructive financial and economic crisis, incomparably more with the collapse of the Lombard house of Bardy. Roots of Empire
serious consequences,
To understand this phenomenon, we need a correct understanding of the development of imperialism in Europe. By "Europe" we mean a European civilization rooted in a maritime alliance against the Tyrian created by Egypt (e.g. Cyrenaica), the Ionians, and the Etruscans, dating back to the VII century BC. Imperial forces, once born around Tyre, in the fight against which European culture developed, from the very beginning were built on what during Demosthenes was called the “Persian model” (otherwise the Babylonian model), and simply put, the “oligarchy”. The oligarchy in its foundations is described by Aeschylus in the play “Bound by Prometheus”.
The main meaning of this story is in the assertion of man as the principle of agape by the apostles of Christianity John and Paul. On the one hand, man as a "man and woman" of the book of Genesis, which is protected by the mythical Prometheus, and on the other - a degraded man, the helots of Lycurgus Sparta, brought to a livestock state by the Delphic cults of Apollo and Dionysus.
The greatest enemy of European imperialism in all its manifestations since the Peloponnesian War was the idea of a sovereign nation-state, as expressed in its modern form by Nicholas of Cusa in Concordancia.
Catholica and put into practice Louis XI in France and the English king Henry VII. It is a concept of the citizen, harmonious with the understanding of man and woman in the book of Genesis. This is the same concept of man as expressed in the principles of the Treaty of Westphalia 1648. It is embedded in the American Constitution, which adopted Leibniz's idea of "the pursuit of happiness" in contrast to the vicious doctrine of John Locke. The Leibniz principle is expressed in the preamble to the U.S. federal constitution ["promote universal welfare"] as the basis of any legitimate government.
Why America’s enemies and traitors hate Franklin Roosevelt
The historical precedents of the concept took the strict scientific form of universal law for the peoples of the world in Roosevelt's firm intention after the end of the war against Hitlerism, to rid the world of the interests of colonies and semi-colonies by destroying imperialism — including, as Roosevelt made clear to Churchill, British imperialism — by converting the war industry created to fight Hitler to create world sovereign nation-states.[6] Under Roosevelt's successor, the Cheryl was revered. This was the strategy of the Anglo-American financiers, as can be seen from the activities of nominally American financial interests, which pursued a course contrary to the intentions of some American presidents, for example, Eisenhower.
System
Franklin Roosevelt understood that in order to liberate the United States and allow the country to return to its constitutional principles, it is necessary to defeat the main force of world imperialism - Anglo-Dutch liberal financial capital. Open traitors, or simply fools in American politics, are easy to calculate by their regret about the role played by President Roosevelt. They can also be found among those who envy the European parliamentary system, especially the British, preferring it to the American one, as it was during the time of President Roosevelt.
Widespread, a bit idiotic, if not just a stupid opinion about the emergence of empires as expressions of nation-states, caused huge tragedies in modern and medieval Europe. The question is who or what controls the bodies believed to be national governments is now very poorly understood even in the upper echelons of governments and in the university environment.
Today, there is only one major world empire: the British Empire. This concept can be used only if you realize that
The “British Empire” is nothing more than a garment worn by a high-ranking structure, such a slimy mold, the global financial oligarchic system. Today, for a single world empire, imposed by the new “Babylon Tower”, another name is proposed - “globalization”, or “world government”.
2. Globalization: The British Empire
Mentally
From a normal scientific point of view, the distinctive feature of the human species, distinguishing it from the lower forms of life, is the innate mind. the ability of creative social interaction of people with a general experience of creative activity of individual members of society fundamentally distinguishes the culture of the human species as a whole, and each specific stage of development of the culture of native speakers of this language, from the typical behavior of any other species and subspecies.
individual
From the competent modern scientific point of view, such a representation of the actual human form of society and developing culture expresses the universal physical principle of the universe, similar to such principles as the universal principle of gravitation discovered by Kepler. However, the natural abilities of the human species differ from the unchanging universal laws in that the creative principle is built into them. The discovery of scientifically validated physical principles transforms scientific practice in an anti-entropic way, achieving a higher physical state.
The cumulative expression of the consequences of such cultural development in terms of scientific and other knowledge is the evolution of the accumulating mass of cultural experience in the cultural heritage of common language speakers.

In other words, it would be a complete absurdity, and still cruelly absurd, to consider that dictionaries of different linguistic cultures can be mechanistically compared with common expressions. Thus, while the ideas expressed by people of different language cultures may eventually lead to the same concepts, the process of forming ideas within a particular language culture is different from other cultures. For connoisseurs of the modalities of language, the history of language development and the contexts of language use characterize the ways in which metaphorical meaning is conveyed in the speech of educated people. Those who are too much "google", to the animal state closer than reasonable human beings7]
Terms
The most important feature of a civilized language culture is that it serves as a means of interaction between cultures. Therefore, the development of functional relations between the carriers of different
Languages allow people to unite to achieve the common goals of the human race. Without the protection of the sovereign role of specific linguistic cultures, healthy development of relations between cultures is impossible.
The comments above are of great scientific and practical importance.
The principles,
Universal
Verified
The ability of a society in which an individual acts to produce something like this, for example, physical principles that increase the ability of humanity (or a particular society) to increase the potential relative density of the population qualitatively, speaks of intellectual phenomena that are fundamentally anti-entropic. This behavior is inaccessible to the “animal intelligence”, it is a fundamental difference of the human mind. The generation of anti-entropy ideas is a distinctive characteristic of man from all other animals. The development of languages as a consequence of this anti-entropy principle is the most important consideration for building relations between the sovereign linguistic cultures of mankind. The emergence of European culture within the union of Egypt, Ionia and Etruria sometime in the 7 century BC is a clear confirmation of this.
Origin of Europe
The main civilizations that originated in the northern hemisphere of our planet over the last few decades 200 000 years, grew from the cultures of the coasts of the oceans, floating on the stars on the seas, the level of which was approximately 120 meters lower than today. The most important of the extant complete or in fragments of calendars, age in the area 20 000 The years indicate the predominant role of such marine cultures. As the ice sheet melted, people of the sea went to the coastal territories of the land, along the mouths of rivers. For example, the Egyptian culture came out of the sea.
In such a specific cultural environment, under the influence of marine cultures on the zones of post-glacial flooding, a culture with scientific prerequisites has developed. Astronavigation and observations of the universe over itself formed the basis for the emergence of the concept of a universal system. From this concept, expressed through Egypt in the tradition of Thales, Heraclitus, Pythagoreans and Plato, all the significant achievements of ancient, medieval and modern civilizations grew. The discovery of Nicholas of Cusa ontological flaws not only in Euclid's sophistry, but also in the quadrature of Archimedes' circle, served as the basis for the successful development of modern science from Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Kepler, Fermat, Leibniz, Riemann, and others.[8] Without such a concept of a universal principle, real physical science could not exist.
