FROM THE PUBLISHER.

Having undertook a study of the life of the Great Russian peasant farmers, I turned to the late S.V. Maksimov, as an expert on folk beliefs, asking her to help me understand the materials collected according to my program from local employees.

The work that S.V. Maksimov left me did not facilitate my task, which was to, based on the reported facts of people's life, come to general conclusions and establish a connection between the peasant's beliefs and his activities, by which I mean actions and behavior person in general.

But in itself, the work of S. V. Maksimov has great merits, and this alone imposes on me the obligation to publish it, not to mention the name of the author who left such works as Siberia and Hard Labor. A Year in the North, Winged Words, etc., ranks so highly in our populist literature that it would be a crime to deprive Russian readers of SV Maksimov's last work.

In his present work, S.V. Maksimov used not only the facts reported by my colleagues, but also his own huge stock of observations, collected by him in his youth, when, dressed as a wanderer, he went among the people in the image of walking, dressed as a wanderer. In living images, the author draws both a peasant and a woman, as if entangled in a snares by faith in evil spirits; with apt humor characterizes the rustic Russian devil and his unpretentious pranks, and at the same time, with surprising depth, sets off that struggle between the world of paganism and Christianity, which has not yet ended in Holy Russia.

The language of S. V. Maksimov is peculiarly folk and, without exaggeration, we can say that there will no longer be those who know how to use it the way the author of Siberia and Hard Labor did.

The manuscript, left by the late author, had to be worked on to prepare it for publication, and the last part of the trilogy, The Power of the Cross, was not even completely finished, so it had to be supplemented with the materials I had collected. All this work was completed by A. A. Yablonovsky.

DEVILRY.

DEVIL-DEVILS.

The belief that hosts of evil spirits are innumerable is deeply rooted in the popular consciousness. There are very few in God's world such reserved holy places into which they would not dare to penetrate; even Orthodox churches are not exempt from their daring invasions. These incorporeal beings, personifying the most evil, are the primordial enemies of the human race; they not only fill the airless space surrounding the universe, they not only penetrate dwellings, making many of them uninhabited (For example, it is difficult to imagine any large Russian city in which they would not point to houses inhabited by devils and abandoned due to various leprosy unclean forces that produce noise and fuss, throwing stones, wood chips, sand, etc.), but even inhabit people, pursuing them with incessant temptations.

How numerous these invisible human haters are can be judged by the richness of the most diverse nicknames for this undead, crafty and evil spirits. To more than forty names of the devil, counted by V. I. Dahl (in his Explanatory Dictionary of the Great Russian Language), one should still add the ten spirits that were given special names and certain places to stay, and in addition to list those nicknames that revolve in living folk language, but not yet overheard and not caught (Here for the inquisitive are these names: agoryanin or ogaryanin (Eagle province and county), demon, obscure, evil spirits, evil spirit, demon, satan, devil, devil, Beelzebub, king darkness, prince of darkness, king of hell, king of hell, serpent, pitch, enemy, "that", "he", enemy, enemy force, enemy, frantic, crafty, unclean, lukanka, not ours, unkind, unkind, not easy, not easy, unclean power, unholy, wrong, seducer, blasphemer, trouble, mara, dashing, gambler, jester, shaitan, black power, black, unkeyable power, non-koshny (i.e. not clean or filthy), hater of the human race, goblin , forester, yard, bannik, bean goose, kikimora, mermaid, field, field worker, watery, master, khokhlik, shish, shishimora, shishiga, shilikun, otyapa, flying, fiery serpent, non-svetik, horned, pralik, unwashed, non-mytik, left, idol, okyanka, okayashka, shekhmatik, opponent, bad, anchutka fifthless, relative, adversary, joker, dirt (in Shuysk. county Vladnmirsk. lips. d instead of h), i.e. hell.). The ubiquitous presence of devils and their free penetration everywhere is proved, among other things, by the existence of common beliefs and customs adopted throughout the great Orthodox Russia. So, for example, in village huts it is almost impossible to find such vessels for drinking water that would not be covered, if not with a plank lid or a rag, then, in extreme cases, at least two splinters laid "cross on the cross so that the devil does not fit" . In the same way, among the Russian common people it is not easy to come across such an absent-minded or forgetful person who, having yawned, would not cross his mouth in order to block the entrance of an unclean spirit with a holy sign. The same thing, with the pronunciation of the words "holy, holy, holy," is also performed during a thunderstorm with every clap of thunder, since the devil is afraid of lightning and hides behind people's backs so that the Lord does not hit him. These customs and practices, maybe. as ancient as Christianity itself in Russia, was then supported by later, but equally venerable antiquity, folk legends (*).

(* One of those, of purely Great Russian origin and ubiquitous, tells that a certain holy ascetic (according to the legends of the Volga region - Blessed Andrew) met a demon, all soiled.

Go and wash yourself with the river water,” the saint advised: why are you walking around like this?

The angel does not let me go to the river, but tells me to go to that first hut, where there is an uncovered tub of water and where it is not protected by the sign of the cross. That's where I'm going. We all wash there all the time.

The adult population guesses, of course, only about what constitutes the center of all village thoughts, that is, about the harvest, and, quite often, fortune telling, as a superstitious desire to know the future, merges in this case with a sign, i.e. with observation, proven by the experience of the elderly. Here, for example, is how the peasants of the Penza province, Krasnoslobodsky district, guess about the harvest. On New Year's Eve, around midnight, twelve old men (according to the number of months in a year), elected by the whole society for their exemplary life and proven piety, go to the church porch and put here sheaves of bread - rye, oats, buckwheat, millet, flax, etc. and also put potatoes. On the morning of the new year, the same twelve old men come to the church fence and notice: on which of the sheaves there is more frost, that bread should be sown the most.

In addition to these local signs, there are also general ones that are common throughout Great Russia. So, for example, almost everywhere, peasants believe that if the sky is starry on the night before the new year, then in the coming year there will be a large harvest of berries and mushrooms. Not content, however, with omens, folk fantasy came up with a whole code of divination about the harvest. So, in the Kozlovsky district, the peasants, having defended the morning mass, go to the threshing floor and pull blades of grass out of the troughs with their teeth. If a blade of grass with an ear full of grain pulls out, then the year will be fruitful, if with a skinny one, it will be lean. An even more peculiar custom is observed in the Saransk district, Penza province. Here, on New Year's Eve, the peasants bake a separate loaf of bread, weigh it, put it on the icons at night, and weigh it again in the morning and notice: if the weight is added, then the coming year will be fruitful (in this case, the loaf is eaten by family), if , on the contrary, the weight will decrease, then the year will be lean (in this case, the loaf is given to cattle so that it will starve less during starvation). With the same goal - to determine the next year's harvest - the peasants, after matins, go to the crossroads, draw a cross with a stick or a finger on the ground, then fall to this cross with their ear and listen: if they hear that a sleigh is coming with a load, the year will be fruitful, if empty - it will be cropless.

After the harvest, the second ruler of village thoughts is, as you know, cattle. Her health and well-being, to a large extent, determine the well-being of the owners. Therefore, one should not be surprised that cattle in the same way constitutes the center around which a whole cycle of New Year signs and customs has been created. So, for example, in many villages of the central strip of Russia, on Vasily's Day, it is customary to prick the so-called "Caesarean" piglets (Vasilyev's Day is also called "Caesaret" after Basil the Great, Archbishop of Caesarea). A roasted Caesarean pig is considered as if it were a common property: all fellow villagers who wish can come and eat it, and each of those who come must bring at least a little money, which is handed over to the owner, and the next day they are transferred to the parish church and go to the benefit of the clergy. The custom requires that the Caesarean pig must be roasted and served on the table as a whole (uncut), even if it looked like a large pig in size. Before eating, the eldest in the family raises the cup with the piglet up to three times, saying: "So that the pigs are farrowed, the lambs are lambing, the cows are calving." - At the end of the meal, the host usually calls a daredevil from among the guests who would dare to take the bones of the pig to the pig's den. But hunters for such a risky business are almost never found, since the bones must be carried one at a time, and at that time the devils are sitting in the cubbyhole, who are just waiting for a brave man to show up and appear in their company. Then they will quickly slam the door behind the newcomer and, amid the noise and uproar, will beat him on the head with the bones they have brought, demanding back the pig they have eaten. It is not difficult to understand the origin of this custom: its main idea is to collect money in favor of the clergy, who for this should pray to God for the health and fertility of the cattle. As for the participation in this custom of evil spirits sheltered in a pig den, this is nothing more than one of those remnants of paganism that were intertwined with Christian rites back in those time immemorial when dual faith dominated in Russia. The proof that the custom of stabbing Caesarean pigs has just such a meaning can be a similar custom practiced in Solvyche-Godsky district, Vologda province. Here, the peasants, on New Year's Day, early in the morning, come to the churchyard from all over the parish, and everyone brings pig carcasses: some a quarter, some half, and some a whole pig, depending on zeal and prosperity. These carcasses are donated to the clergy, and their heads are thrown into a common cauldron and boiled cabbage soup, which is eaten by the whole world. This custom is observed very strictly, and it is considered an unpardonable sin not to sacrifice pork to the clergy on the New Year, since this sacrifice is made in gratitude for the welfare of the cattle in the past year and in order to propitiate God and protect the cattle from death - in the coming year.

From the foregoing, it is possible to conclude that the Caesaret pig of the central provinces and the pig carcasses of the Solvychegodsk district, in their idea, do not differ from each other in any way and constitute one custom. The whole difference between them lies in the fact that in the central provinces, with the help of the Caesarean pig, money is collected for the benefit of the clergy, while in Solvychegodsk they bring pork in kind, and the clergy themselves must sell it to special buyers.

IV. BAPTISM OF THE LORD

In the central provinces of Great Russia, the eve of the Epiphany is sometimes called "candles", since on this day, after vespers, when the blessing of water is performed, village women put candles intertwined with ribbons or colored threads to the vessel in which the water is consecrated. This custom alone shows that the blessing of water, performed on the eve of the Epiphany, is considered by the peasants to be a particularly important celebration. And indeed, they spend the whole day in the strictest fast (even children and teenagers try not to eat “to the star”), and during Vespers, small village churches usually cannot accommodate the entire mass of worshipers. The crush during the blessing of water is especially great, since the peasants retained the conviction that the sooner they draw the blessed water, the holier it is.

Upon returning from the blessing of water, each householder, with his entire family, reverently drinks a few sips from the brought dish, and then takes the sacred willow from behind the icon and sprinkles the whole house, outbuildings and all property with holy water, in full confidence that this protects not only from misfortune and adversity, but also from the evil eye. In some provinces, moreover, it is considered a rule to pour St. water into the wells, so that unclean spirits do not get in there and pollute the water. At the same time, however, it is necessary to strictly observe that no one takes water from the well until the morning of January 6, that is, until the water is blessed after Mass. After completing all these rites, St. water is usually placed among the images, since the peasants not only believe in the healing power of this water, but are just as firmly convinced that it cannot deteriorate, and that if you freeze the water of the Epiphany in any vessel, then a clear image of the cross will be obtained on ice. Approximately the same sacred meaning is attributed by the peasants not only to the water consecrated in the church, but simply to the river water, which, on the eve of Epiphany, receives a special power. According to popular belief, on the night of January 5-6, Jesus Christ himself bathes in the river - therefore, in all rivers and lakes the water “sways”, and in order to notice this wonderful phenomenon, you only need to come to the river at midnight and wait at the hole, until the “wave passes” (a sign that Christ sank into the water). This widespread belief created a custom among the peasantry, by virtue of which it is considered a great sin, before the expiration of a week, to wash clothes in the river on which the Epiphany blessing took place. Violators of this grandfather's covenant are considered henchmen and helpers of the devil, since, when immersed in St. cross into the water, all the evil spirits, in fear and horror, not remembering themselves, run away from him and, clutching at the linen that is rinsed in the hole, jumps out. - The water drawn from the hole, on the eve of Epiphany, is considered to be healing and helps especially the hysterical women - it is only necessary, when walking from the hole, not to turn back and say a prayer.

THE POWER OF THE CROSS
the power of the Holy Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, in the power of which the majority of Russians believed. The cross is, first of all, love, the readiness to suffer for others up to death. This love of Jesus Christ gave that power to the cross, which can protect against any attacks of the enemy. Hence the popular belief in the protective effect of the inscribed, sacred, sign of the cross.
Among the daily manifestations of the faith of a simple Russian person in his home, visible to the outsider's eye, is the protection of himself and his home from evil spirits, evil spirits. At the same time, the views on the enemy's power - folk demonology - did not contradict the corresponding dogmas of Orthodoxy. “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against ... the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spirits of wickedness in high places” (Eph. 6:12).
“Peasants living near their parish churches,” wrote a correspondent in the Tenishevsky bureau about Gzhatsky district. Smolensk Province, - they try to bring home a lit candle, with which they stood in the church while reading about the sufferings of Christ or during the removal of the shroud. With this fire, they burn signs on the door and window lintels "to protect against evil spirits and witchcraft.
An indication of this pious custom - the burning of crosses - is one of the most frequently encountered in all Tenishev materials. The only difference is that in most of the messages we are talking about the candles of Maundy Thursday, but there is also an Epiphany candle in this appointment. So, in Biryuchensky at. Voronezh province. on Maundy Thursday, after reading the 12 Gospels (that is, twelve texts from the Gospels about the Holy Passion of the Lord), the peasants went from house to house with lit candles and burned crosses on the log beams. In the Tula province. on Maundy Thursday, after the twelve Gospels (according to church custom, this reading was performed on Thursday evening at Matins), they moved from house to house with burning candles and burned out crosses on door lintels, ceilings, and beaten mats.
According to observations in the Yaroslavl province, “the cross, according to Christian doctrine, is considered by the people to be the most faithful, effective weapon to fight evil spirits. On the day of Epiphany Christmas Eve, in many places they burn crosses on the doors of houses and outbuildings with an Epiphany candle - to protect against evil spirits. About the inscription of crosses “on all doors, windows of the hut and outbuildings” on the eve of Epiphany, when they brought St. baptismal water, they also wrote from Oboyansky district. Kursk province; only here (the village of Shelkovka) were crosses drawn with chalk. Perhaps this was a transformation of the custom of burning a cross with a candle, for Christmas Eve itself was called “Candles” here. (This name of Epiphany Christmas Eve is also noted in the dictionary of V.I. Dal for the Kostroma and Penza provinces, and in our materials it is also found in the Voronezh province.) After the inscription of the crosses, they sprinkled Epiphany water everywhere. This is how you clean your house.
With chalk they drew crosses on all the jambs of windows and doors and on the gates in Shchigrovsky district. Kursk province. on Epiphany Christmas Eve - "to save from evil spirits." An indication that “chalk crosses are placed on Epiphany Christmas Eve” is also found in V. I. Dahl.
A. Balov was right when he wrote that the people consider the cross to be the most faithful and effective weapon to fight evil spirits. This was also manifested in the constant overshadowing of oneself with the sign of the cross (not only during prayers). The Medyn landowner (Kaluga province) G. Spafaryev, writing in 1849 about the Christian views of the Russian peasants, emphasized that they begin and end every business, signing themselves with the sign of the cross. People who fell under the strong influence of the power of the enemy could not make the sign of the cross, and this was the main danger of their position. Peasant F.E. Kutekhov (village of Barmino, Serednikovskaya vol., Egorevsky district, Ryazan province) reported in the late 19th century that during a wedding not a single person would cross the threshold without crossing himself.
Before cutting the bread (this was usually done by an older man who sat under the icons), a cross was drawn over it with a knife in the air or crossed over the bread with a knife. Bringing a mug of drink to their mouths, they were baptized.
“At the mention of evil spirits,” wrote F. Zobnin, “we tend to either spit, or cross ourselves and say: “do not listen, holy horomina, do not be told to us.” This was not perceived by the Orthodox as a formality. It was believed that naming caused the presence of the named. Of interest is the appeal to the residential building cited here - “holy mansion”, indicating the attitude towards it, as to the Small Church. The person who mentioned evil spirits understands the inappropriateness of this in St. indoors and, moreover, is afraid of invoking with such words the influence of the enemy force on himself, hence - “do not be told to us” and overshadowing himself with the sign of the cross.
There were and still are many stories telling about how the neck cross saves from evil spirits and how dangerous it is to be under some circumstances without it. Walking without a cross was considered a serious sin. You can’t sleep without a cross, take it off while bathing - a person is left without protection.
As soon as a thunderstorm began, they not only closed the windows and chimney valves, but they were sure to baptize them. With a spatula, they made the sign of the cross in the bin over the grain intended for sowing, before pouring it into bags. When they put Easter cake in the oven, then in each corner of the hut, starting with the saint, they made a cross three times with a shovel.
When lighting a fire from a match, they certainly crossed themselves and said "Lord, bless." There were concepts of blessed and unblessed fire: "blessed fire will not burn anything, but fires happen from unblessed fire." Even more terrible was the fire, when ignited, they cursed with “shameful words” or cursed. From such a fire, as it was believed among the people, the most terrible fires occurred when cattle and even people burned.
They were baptized when they served drink and food to a visitor (or passer-by) person of a foreign faith, whom they feared, "so as not to let the unclean"; the dishes after it were washed with St. water. But at the same time, they will never offend him, they won’t take an extra penny from him for an overnight stay, “otherwise they don’t ask at all, and what they give, thanks for that” (according to Volkhovsky district, Oryol province.).
The peasants were wary if a fellow villager who had a bad reputation as a person involved in witchcraft came to the house. Popular ideas about enemy power are associated with the widely held belief that people who betray themselves to this power can “do” - cause harm, send illness, demon possession, etc. Accordingly, they also believe that some priests (from monks and white clergy), as well as old men and old women from the laity, who have reached great spiritual strength, can cast out demons from people - reprimand and heal from any other damage. When a person appeared who could cause damage, they began to read a prayer to themselves and were baptized.
It is impossible to list all the cases when it was considered necessary to take measures against evil spirits: first of all, to overshadow oneself with the sign of the cross or cross some object. In addition to constantly repeating circumstances - behavior in them was determined by established custom -, of course, many individual moments arose that required each of his own, personal decisions. In the "invisible battle" waged by an Orthodox person, much depended on the degree of his faith. “Everyone is baptized, but not everyone prays,” says the proverb. Regarding the inscription of crosses, there is also a proverb of this kind: “The tar cross will not save if the life-giving one does not save” (tar crosses were drawn on the gates and on the animals themselves from the death of cattle). The people for the most part understood that the mark of the cross is not magic, that it must be combined with a living faith in God, in the Life-Giving Cross.

Comfort dominance, spirit decline
What a bitter hangover

Pitch Hell when it's not holy
No honor, no...

And there is never a limit to sadness,
What suddenly intercepts the throat,
When you are disturbed by Russia
And full of thoughts, and around

There is not a soul - only dust and a field.
And above you a scattering of stars...
And everything is half a step away from pain.
And so close to tears.

Fortitude and patience will break all barriers,
And the focus and faith in the heart will reopen the light,
And the soul will bloom in a healing wave in a dream,
And love will always be with you very good.

You will illuminate the divine world with a bold look in the morning,
Birds will sing at will, in feelings life will fill with a key,
And the spring of holy water runs like a stream through the blood.

What will fill your soul, your blood in a clean body,
Will you...

Strange as it may seem, but this fragment from the notorious novel by N.V. Gogol "Viy" is most directly related to ... the new theory of physical vacuum by Gennady Shilov. Its main principles and achievements were described in the material published in our magazine (No. 8, 1999) under the heading "We are as part of the Highest Reality." In particular, it was said that G. Shilov managed to obtain a fundamentally new Picture of the World, consisting not of four, as is commonly believed, but of eight levels of Reality, which is crowned by the Absolute Everything, or the Creator, the Creator. Among the open levels are torsion fields that are amazing in their properties. They, as it turned out, with practical significance - a product of the future. According to Shilov, the 21st century is the century of torsion technologies. They can and must radically transform transport, energy, metallurgy, communications, medicine...

And here is a new twist: it turns out that any object around us has its own personal torsion imprint: a portrait, an image that manifests itself through its own torsion field. The Tomsk scientist V. Shkatov, the author of a device for determining the statistical torsion fields of geometric shapes, letters, words, texts, photographs of people, also said his word about this ... More than that: intensity, direction (right or left) and sign are set using a special technique (+ or -) torsion field of the figure. The Russian alphabet has also been analyzed. It is in front of you in Fig. 1, with the corresponding values.

As you can see, for example, the letters "C" and "O" create the maximum right (positive) torsion effect. The letters "A" and "F", on the contrary, are the maximum left (negative). Hence, it seems to be possible to conclude that the torsion field of a word is equal to the sum of the torsion fields of its constituent letters. For example, the torsion contrast of the word "Christ" is +19. However, as V. Shkatov warns, simple addition does not always work - this technique is confirmed with an accuracy of 10 - 20 percent. Another thing is geometric shapes. You see them in Fig.2.

The bottom line shows the values ​​of torsion contrast, which characterizes the magnitude and sign of the torsion field of the figure in relation to the background, which in this case is the torsion field of a white sheet of paper. And here is the result: figures 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 create right torsion fields, and figures 1, 2, 3, 4 - left ones. Does all this mean anything to us?

- And a lot- notes Gennady SHILOV. - Since ancient times, it has been noticed that the shape of an object has a strong impact on its perception. This fact, as a rule, was attributed to some kind of hidden mental effects, and often even to a mystical insight - a vision. That is, giving it the meaning of a subjective perception of reality. Now we know that torsion fields have an energy-informational nature. They also affect the human psyche. When we have an object in front of us, we perceive it not only with the eye, but also with the so-called inner vision, which “fixes” invisible torsion radiation.

Thus, a person is constantly under the hidden influence of either positive or negative "energy informatics" of a sign, figure, object, text ... And there are people who have special sensitivity. I know cases when they, just by passing their hand over the surface of a closed and unfamiliar book, instantly determined its psychophysical effect on a person. Man has nine ways of seeing. One of them is internal - radar, which we almost never use. But it is, say, very well developed in dolphins and bats. And a person is also able to see with the brain - the "third eye": to see the invisible - a reflection of the emitted signal.

Some psychics clearly demonstrate and prove that a person has a connection with another reality - "sees" and "accepts", as we believe, the images of torsion fields. I want to remind you: they not only have a high penetrating ability, that is, they very easily and, by our standards, instantly penetrate any rough matter, but they also carry information - a “message”, some kind of image. Let's take a simple example from medicine: an ultrasound examination. What do you see on the screen? Liver? By no means! Before you - only its reflection, and a ghostly reflection. There are also psychics who are able to "see" every internal organ. So right? So. But what are they "watching"? Liver? Not at all. They "see" her torsion portrait. I'm talking about people whom God endowed with the gift to perceive the phenomena of the subtle world. It is quite possible that each of us has it, but for one reason or another, for the majority, this gift is almost or not developed at all, not revealed .. Personally, I am convinced that our body is a “generator”, “receiver” of torsion fields of various nature, reflecting information about the Realities of all levels.

HOW TO OVERCOME A DEMON?

- So, we are constantly, from all sides, day and night, penetrated by torsion radiation, energy information, which, on the one hand, is with a “plus” sign, and on the other - “minus”...

At the same time, the left torsion fields have a depressing effect on us. Such properties are possessed by a five-pointed star, a reverse swastika, a triangle ... That is, if you stay near these and similar symbols for a long time, their fields upset your psyche.

And the TV to which we are chained radiates the same left torsion fields. It is harmful to humans. This apparatus, gradually poisoning our body, destroys the brain, eyesight, kidneys, and so on. Take the shape of a cone or a pyramid. They generate both left and right torsion fields. Everyone knows the effect of the pyramid, when the products inside it do not deteriorate or are stored much longer than the control ones. This happens because left torsion fields appear inside the pyramid, inhibiting the growth and development of bacteria that decompose products. It is obvious that in its shape the dome of the church is very close to the cone. But note that there is a cross on the dome, and it changes the sign of the torsion field from left to right. The right field has a positive effect on biological systems in general and on the human body in particular.

- What's interesting: a rectangle with a golden aspect ratio has neutral torsional contrast!

- That's why it is the "golden section". In a word, the golden mean!

- Meanwhile, the five-pointed star - with a minus sign ...

- Personally, I was surprised, but these are the results of research.

But the fact that the swastika has almost the maximum torsion "plus", I perceive without any shocks. So it should be, because she is the oldest symbol of the Sun, fertility - a symbol known since ancient times! Unfortunately, the swastika was compromised by Nazi Germany, but its torsion power remains the same. She is even higher at the circle! It's not for me to tell you that even ancient people drew a circle near their camps. The question is, what for? Yes, to protect yourself from all wickedness. Surprisingly, but true: our distant ancestors somehow, apparently intuitively, used the power of the cross of the circle and thus protected themselves from demons, devils, witches, werewolves, spirits and other evil spirits. We all read Gogol, his story "Viy". As you remember, the philosopher Homa also defended himself with a circle around which, as it were, a certain wall, insurmountable for witches and monsters, appears.

The circle is a sign, a special, sacred symbol. Mandala... This is one of the main sacral symbols of Buddhism. Is Barbale a Georgian goddess personifying the Sun? And, mind you, there are linguistic parallels between the name - Barbale - and the designation in the Georgian language of a circle, a wheel ... And there are a lot of similar examples. There is also a meaning in such scientific concepts as “water cycle”, “substance cycle”... Why not delve into the essence of the energy of geological ring formations? Look at Moscow. She has a circular structure! Look, for example, at the icon. Above the heads of the saints - a halo, a circle ... Do you know how the word "torsion" is translated from English? Torsion!... There is no doubt: the phenomenon of a circle, or a regular ring, circles, deserves a separate and detailed discussion.

- And yet specify: why is the evil spirit not able to overcome the boundaries of the circle?

- After all, we talked with you: a poltergeist, astral entities are manifestations of the subtle world. They not only exist in the form of some energy-informational fields, but can also take on certain and the most bizarre, incredible for us forms, images. As for their energy, the evil spirit always uses the left, "negative", torsion fields. Therefore, for them, even a circle drawn with chalk is an “impenetrable barrier”. They are in a different energy-informational field, if you like, in a different dimension than we are.

WHEN THE WORD IS IN YOUR POCKET

- Well, somehow, with God's help, we will overcome the evil spirits, but what about the other? How, say, to protect yourself from a television demon?

- This problem, of course, must be solved in principle, that is, it is necessary to produce kinescopes with right-hand torsion fields. And we are negotiating with a foreign firm about that. In our institute, a special device has been developed and is already being produced to neutralize harmful, left-handed, torsion fields that arise from various objects, including geopathogenic zones coming from the depths of the Earth.

- Yes, but what to do now, today?

My advice: turn on the TV - overshadow it with the sign of the cross, which will certainly weaken the harmful radiation of the kinescope. In a word, neutralize everything that needs to be neutralized with the sign of the cross, as well as with a circle and ... with a word.

- And a word?

I think yes. Write, say, the word "Christ": his torsion field is quite high, + 19.

- Is the healing effect achieved through writing or does it take some time to look at the word?

It is enough to write it on paper, which, if you want, put in your pocket and keep as a talisman. However, you can also say words with a positive impact out loud. After all, sound causes vibrations in the air, which changes its density, and therefore, each sound has its own torsion portrait - with its own positive or negative impact. Fact: and the word, influencing the human psyche, heals. Therefore, it is advisable not only to put the talisman-word in your pocket, but also to read a prayer.

And, apparently, it is clear: it is better to live in houses with a golden aspect ratio or close to it, but not in those that have a square section, or L-shaped, U-shaped...

We live surrounded by many objects, forms, and from ignorance we think that we are on our own, and they are on their own. However, no: there is constant and active interaction on a subtle level. And we care about the shape of the building, table, rooms, interior details...

I suppose you know that if a person is placed in a room with a special aspect ratio, he will lose his mind very quickly. He will find himself in unbearable conditions, but it would seem, what difference does it make - a room is a room. Every person who finds himself in the temple immediately feels that he is in a special place. Why? Yes, because a stream of influences of various structures falls upon us, of which the temple consists. Its internal architecture, walls, paintings, murals, furnishings, light range, resonant sounds - all this together and evokes a special psychological mood in us.

Every detail of our environment in one way or another affects our psyche, well-being, health. Look around. Where you can change the situation - make it comfortable for yourself, comfortable in the psychological - torsion - sense. And, believe me, everything will change, and cool. Having been charged with positive torsion energy, you will come to work and leave the service not in an oppressed or broken state, but with a feeling of a surge of strength.
