About twenty years ago, in the foothills of the Sayan Mountains, near the small village of Ilbin, fate brought me together with one very curious person. And we only talked for a few days, but I remember him for the rest of my life.
I came there for fireweed, there is a great abundance of it there. This is where our acquaintance with Maksimych began, as everyone in the area called him. Only the old man led me along the paths familiar to him through remote ravines, along the way he taught me to recognize herbs, discovered their amazing properties...
And I remembered him now because, among many other things, he told me about “the best way of fortune telling.”
Not everyone will succeed right away. We need an attitude,” said Maksimych.
- Wait until the full moon, take a mirror and go out into the yard at night. Just look for a place in advance where no one will disturb you. Sit with your back to the Moon, extend your hand forward with the mirror, or better yet, secure it so that it does not shake, catch the Moon in it and wait. Just make sure that the mirror is right in front of your eyes, not to the side, so that you don’t squint your eyes, otherwise nothing will work out. And wait, don't rush...
I remember that I was interested in listening to the old man, but I didn’t take him seriously then. Today I have a different attitude towards his “bikes”...
Mirror... What could be mysterious about this banal object? Flat glass, amalgam... Well, what's mysterious about that? But still...
History has accumulated a lot of legends and tales about the mysterious properties of mirrors. And how many folk signs, customs, and beliefs are associated with cracked and broken mirrors. There is even living evidence that strange visions are sometimes observed in mirrors.
For example, they claim that visions of future events in mirrors were deliberately caused by famous predictors Nostradamus, Cagliostro and Neil Montagu... Alexander the Great and Napoleon, Alexander Pushkin and Abraham Lincoln, hero of the Patriotic War, encountered similar phenomena, but unexpectedly for themselves. 1812 General A.P. Ermolov and many others, including our contemporaries. They say that in the mirrors you can also see pictures of the past. How to feel about all this?
A person is capable of not only experiencing the present and past, but also the future. Moreover, the events in which he participates can unfold in the opposite direction or coexist simultaneously. Sometimes in a few minutes a person lives life in every detail.
The fact that moonlight, in fact, has some kind of mysterious power and strangely affects all living things has been noticed for a long time. Among the people there are a lot of signs and beliefs associated with the Moon. Many of them have found scientific confirmation.
If the hypothesis about the special influence of polarized light is correct, then the strange custom of fortune telling by the Moon using a mirror becomes understandable. And Maksimych’s story about the “best way of fortune telling” no longer seems like a naive superstition. The method he spoke about can indeed be very effective. After all, here we encounter a combination of several factors contributing to an “altered state of consciousness.” On the one hand, a person has a proven tool for psychological attunement - a mirror, on the other - on a full moon, a physical factor - moonlight, which has amazing properties - also affects his psyche.
Moreover, light reflected from a glass surface or other dielectrics (crystals, water, polished surfaces) at a certain angle also becomes polarized. This means that weakly polarized light from the Moon, reflected at a certain angle from a glass mirror, acquires a more rigid polarization. Such light has a stronger effect on the psyche of the fortuneteller and helps the consciousness more easily enter an altered state. What is especially interesting is that Maksimych argued that the mirror should be special - black. And he told me how to make it. It’s a curious thing, I’ll tell you, it turns out.
Do you believe in the world on the other side of the mirror? Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to get there? Maybe the mirror is a door from where something enters between dreams and reality.
In 2002, the RIC MDK publishing house published a book by V.L. Pravdivtseva, “These mysterious mirrors...”. The author is a scientist, cyberneticist, candidate of technical sciences in the field of artificial intelligence.
The scope of his interests and creative search is quite wide. This includes philosophy, psychology, esoteric teachings, mysteries of the universe, anomalous phenomena in nature and society, energy-informational interaction between man and the surrounding world, ufology and paranormal abilities of man.
Book by V.L. Pravdivtsev’s “These Mysterious Mirrors”, with a dedicatory inscription from the author for his assistance in selecting literature, was shown to me by the staff of the KMZ library.
The book captivated me like a good detective story, skillfully told by a smart writer. Mirror. It would seem like a simple household item, but how many mysteries it hides! The author analyzed the works of scientists, philosophers, writers on the interaction of man and mirror in different eras - from the first known communications of man with mirror surfaces to the present day. The book contains scientific theories and hypotheses that may be interesting and useful both to the general reader and to people seriously interested in science.
V.L. Pravdivtsev awakens the reader’s imagination by thinking:
- Does the mirror have a memory?
- What are the superstitions and signs associated with mirrors based on?
- Why do they hang mirrors in the house of a dead person?
- Can the shape, color and material of mirrors influence a person?
- How to enter the Looking Glass? Is it always safe?
Much space in the book is devoted to the customs of fortune telling on mirrors. These customs, it turns out, were present at all times among different peoples.
The author examines the same problem, not only from the position of classical science, but also from the position of esoteric knowledge, leaving it to the readers themselves to reason and draw conclusions.
Although this book is devoted to the interaction of a person with a mirror, its subject matter is much broader. Consciousness, subconsciousness, superconsciousness of a person, his unknown possibilities that have yet to be discovered and studied...
I asked the staff of the KMZ library to introduce me to Vitaly Leonidovich Pravdivtsev in order to write an essay about him and his book.
I was greeted by the calm gaze of gray intelligent eyes. We were captivated by the dignity and simplicity of communication of a cultured person. It turned out that he took part in the creation of the most complex space systems.
Vitaly Leonidovich worked on the book that I hold in my hands for six years. In order to write this book, preliminary encyclopedic knowledge, excellent intuition, and the creative eye of a talented scientist were needed.
In addition to scientific journals, he is a regular author of the “Unknown” column in the “Top Secret” newspaper, and for several years he led the “Secret Knowledge” column in the “Rabotnitsa” magazine. In 1997, for a series of articles, Candidate of Technical Sciences V.L. Pravdivtsev became a laureate of the Rabotnitsa magazine award.
Once upon a time I tried to understand the picture of the universe described by D. Andreev in the book “Rose of the World”. My female mind is stuck in the swamps of terminology about 3, 4, 5, 6-dimensional spaces of the Earth's structure.
And suddenly, in the article by V.L Pravdivtsev “Parallel worlds of Daniil Andreev” (magazine “Rabotnitsa”), I found tables in which the scientist’s analytical mind put the entire system on the shelves. Now just stretch out your hand, and the whole complex theory is at your fingertips.
Currently, Vitaly Leonidovich is working on the use of mirrors in medicine, and is researching the influence of mirrors on the human information field. With the generosity of the Russian scientist, he shares with me the first results of the experiment.
Several years ago, in one of his articles V.L. Pravdivtsev wrote: “The ideas born of unpredictable Russian minds in a variety of fields were and continue to be far ahead of the most daring ideas of the West... We, Russians, are thinkers, “idea generators.”
I was struck by other words of V.L. Pravdivtsev, written in 1996, in which he prophesies with the optimism of a sage: “... in about ten years, Russia will finally gain internal stability, and from that time its rapid rise will begin. By the middle of the next century it will be one of the first places in the world. And do not believe the alarmists and provocateurs who shout about the death of Russia. Russia has begun a difficult path of ascension... We will endure. And we will succeed..."
MEETING V.L. Pravdivtseva WITH READERS
On November 16, 2002, in the library of the trade union committee of OJSC KMZ, a meeting was held with V.L. Pravdivtsev, candidate of technical sciences in the field of artificial intelligence, the author of the monograph “These Mysterious Mirrors.”
I will give some reviews about this meeting.
A.S. Arbuzov: “Wonderful! It would seem that in a seemingly simple topic about mirrors, the most complex issues of human life and humanity, its relationship with nature and space, and the prospects for the further development of science in the sphere of the still unknown were touched upon and convincingly revealed. It is impossible not to note the depth of the author’s erudition, the simplicity and accessibility of the presentation, and the completeness of the answers to questions. Thank you very much for organizing this meeting and giving us pleasure.”
Yu.B. Grozovsky: “The meeting was so interesting that three hours spent in the company of this man - a writer and scientist - left an indelible impression. I would like to buy the book and get acquainted with the scientist’s ideas in detail. His research at the intersection of different sciences: physics, biology, medicine, etc. seems especially interesting. It seems to me that the use of spherical mirrors in medicine has a great future.”
BEHIND. Kryukova: “I liked the simplicity of the presentation of the topic. The conversation turned out to be very informative. After the speech, Vitaly Leonidovich answered questions from older people for a long time, who were most interested in methods of treating various diseases with the help of mirrors. Very convincing photographs were shown showing the benefits of using mirrors when growing seedlings.”
During the time of handling mirrors, people became aware that these household items have amazing mystical properties...
There is information that the medieval physician Theophrastus Paracelsus used a mirror to diagnose and even heal patients. He brought the mirror to the patient’s lips and, by the way it fogged up from the person’s breath, diagnosed him. And after that, with the help of a spell, Paracelsus transferred the dark energies of the disease to the reflection of the patient in the mirror, and thus the double of the person reflected in the mirror was “sick,” and the patient himself recovered. 
Paracelsus believed that the surface of a mirror was capable of absorbing the poisonous fumes of disease. According to psychic researchers, it was from those ancient times that a sign appeared when patients were not recommended to look in mirrors so as not to poison them. Because such mirrors can subsequently seriously affect the health and well-being of other people.
According to them, our aura is harmed by the reflection of energies that are displayed when a person looks in the mirror. And this, in turn, is not reflected in the best way on the physical body itself, which leads to premature aging.
An interesting fact is that American scientists who spent 15 years studying the effect of mirrors on the human body came to the same conclusion. In their opinion, mirrors are nothing more than energy “vampires” that take away energy from a person.
But they do not begin to “vampire” immediately, but about 3 minutes after the person begins to look at himself in the mirror. Therefore, those who look in the mirror briefly are not in such danger. Those who like to twirl in front of the mirror or examine their wrinkles age faster. And, in addition, they may experience a feeling of fatigue after such sessions, and even memory impairment.
Knowledgeable people try not to keep many mirrors in the house. Just two are enough - in the hallway and bathroom. This is optimal because family conflicts occur less frequently in these premises. The mirror is able to absorb negative energy and then return it back.
The most dangerous mirrors
The most dangerous are mirrors that have witnessed crimes: murders or violence, bullying and torture. They are so filled with negative energy that they then become emitters of it on those. who looks in them, leading people to tragic situations.In the Middle Ages, there was a widely known story about a killer mirror. One merchant killed his wife for treason. And it happened in front of a large mirror. Later, his house became the property of another person, but the mirror remained hanging in its original place.
It so happened that the wife of the new owner of the house was found dead in front of the same mirror after a certain period of time. Later, the house changed its owners several times, but the mirror continued to remain there. And almost all the women who lived in this house found their death near the fatal mirror.
According to parapsychologists, such mirrors can negatively affect a person’s well-being and even push him towards suicide. To a greater extent, this is dangerous for the fragile child’s psyche. Therefore, it is better not to buy old mirrors, because you can never know for sure what kind of information is imprinted inside them.
There are mirrors that contain the souls of dead people. They are especially dangerous.
When someone dies in the house, the mirrors are covered. This is no coincidence. Esotericists believe that the soul of a deceased person is capable of entering the space of an unhung mirror and getting lost in the mirror labyrinth, losing the opportunity to get out of there. This phenomenon can be detected using candles. The candle needs to be lit near the mirror, and if it goes out unexpectedly, then it is better to get rid of the mirror.
Superstition that inspires confidence.
A cracked, and even more so, broken mirror is considered a bad omen. Researchers of anomalous phenomena have revealed that a crack in the mirror can be a source of dangerous radiation. In their opinion, a crack in a mirror or even in ordinary glass can be comparable to a fault in the earth's crust.Such faults are geopathogenic zones that emit radiation hazardous to human health. Vanga, a Bulgarian clairvoyant, said that there is no case that in a family where there is a cracked mirror, there will be harmony and peace. A crack in a mirror is like a crack in fate.
Broken mirror
Are mirrors harbingers of death?If you break a mirror, you will be in poverty for seven years.
Popular belief
It is widely believed that breaking a mirror is a bad omen: either someone in the family will die, or you will quarrel with a loved one. And if the mirror did not fall, but only became covered with cracks, this is a sign that one of the relatives or best friends is near death.
It would seem nonsense. What could be the connection between all these events? But, despite their absurdity, these beliefs are still alive today. Even our valiant law enforcement officers adhere to them, and if a mirror on a police car breaks in a shootout, they certainly try to install a new one on the same day, otherwise, they say, expect trouble...
Oddly enough, everyday experience persistently confirms these signs. Here is just one of the letters.
“As a child, I remembered an incident that was repeatedly told in our family. My grandfather was shaving at the toilet mirror and accidentally touched it with his hand. The mirror fell and broke. In the evening he received a telegram about the death of his father.
I remember this incident well and was always very afraid of breaking the mirror. One day at work, I was standing looking in the mirror of my powder compact and suddenly dropped it. While she was falling, I caught her twice, but she seemed to jump out of my hands. The mirror broke into small pieces. In the evening there was a terrible scandal in my family. Now I can’t even remember why it started. But since then, my relationship with my husband became worse and worse, and we soon separated.
That same year, my grandfather fell ill and we admitted him to the hospital. At that time, my mother had a dressing table from an imported set. One day, in a room where there was no one, a terrible crash was heard. Mom entered the room and saw: the dressing table had split across and the upper part had collapsed. Mom cried and said that grandfather would die soon. And so it happened.
I was talking about this sign with a friend, and she said that before her father died, the glass in their sideboard burst. Juna Davitashvili explains this phenomenon by the release of a large amount of energy during the death of a person. But for me and my friend, all the cases happened before the misfortune, as if warning about it... N. Rynina, Krasnodar.”
Indeed, there is a lot of uncertainty in the signs and mysterious cases associated with broken mirrors. And most importantly - what is the cause and what is the effect? Does a cracked mirror lead to the death of a person (there is a belief that the one who first looks into a cracked mirror will die)? Or is it the other way around - the mirror cracks because the doomed person looked into it (in some places it is believed that death awaits the one who last looked at the mirror before it broke)? There is also an interesting version that the mirror cracks from a powerful energy discharge, which arises due to the “distortion” of the energy of a person approaching the mirror and his “behind the looking glass” (astral) subtle body, which in another time dimension has already perceived the impending death. Who knows?..
Of course, stories about broken mirrors - harbingers of death - could be attributed to oral folk art. However, similar cases also happen to people who are infinitely far from superstitious fears and fantasies. Here is one of such tragic and at the same time mysterious stories.
Mirror from the battleship "Novorossiysk"
On the night of October 29, 1955, on the battleship Novorossiysk, anchored in Sevastopol harbor, for reasons still unclear, an explosion of incredible force occurred. Its power was such that the ship was pierced right through from the bottom to the upper deck - eight decks, including three armored ones. Water poured into the 27-meter gap that formed. Despite the measures taken, it was not possible to save the ship.
At 4 hours 14 minutes the battleship lay on the water on its left side and a few moments later sharply turned upside down with its keel. More than one and a half thousand people were thrown into the water in a matter of seconds. And at that moment, as eyewitnesses recall, a “dull, terrible, thousand-voiced cry of horror” rang out in the silence of the night: hundreds of sailors - those who were not covered by the armored hull of the overturned battleship - were dying, pulled by a whirlpool into the depths of the cold sea.
And from inside the ship, the desperate knocking of those buried alive was heard... And it was at that moment in Moscow, more than a thousand kilometers from the sinking ship, that something happened that no scientist can explain to this day...
Captain of the second rank O. Bar-Biryukov, who served on this battleship in those years, recalls. Once upon a time, back in 1953, when the Novorossiysk (former Italian Julius Caesar) was undergoing repairs, a young officer, going on vacation, took as a souvenir a small wall mirror dismantled from his cabin. “Although not new - in a modest aluminum frame, the image gives a clear and clean image, after all, it is Italian, and maybe even Venetian, made. I decided - I’ll take it, let it be a gift to my family!.. In Moscow, I personally attached it to the wall in the hallway...”
Fate saved the young officer: on the tragic night of the death of the battleship, he was just approaching Sevastopol by train and learned about what had happened only in the morning. “Six months later, my wife and daughter and I came to Moscow on vacation. Mom and sister told us that on the night of October 28-29, 1955, they were awakened by a terrible roar in the hallway. When they turned on the light, they saw that on the floor there was a frame from the “Novorossiysk” mirror hanging on the wall, and it itself was broken into pieces. They looked at the clock - it was exactly 4 hours 14 minutes (they wrote down this time). It was at this moment that the battleship Novorossiysk capsized..."
What made the mirror from the Novorossiysk fall off the wall and break in Moscow at that tragic moment when the ship was sinking in Sevastopol? Maybe a whirlwind of unknown energy that burst out of the hearts of hundreds of dying people?
Quite possibly. Moreover, the hypothesis of powerful human radiation at the moment of mortal danger no longer looks like science fiction. In the 1970s, Leningrad scientist Doctor of Technical Sciences G.A. Sergeev discovered that such stress radiation, for example, from a drowning person, spreads both in air and in water. The scientist even managed to create a liquid crystal device that makes it possible to detect the physical component of this mysterious radiation at short distances.
Yes, but how did this energy barrage transfer to the Moscow apartment? Maybe through some invisible channels that forever connect the mirror with the home ship? Invisible traces and invisible threads.
It's possible. After all, there is a law known since ancient times, which today has become fundamental in the new science of energy-information exchange in nature (eniology): “if objects come into contact with each other at least once, the invisible connection between them remains forever”! Today this position has serious grounds: science has come close to unraveling the origin of “invisible imprints” and invisible connections.
We are talking about the so-called Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (EPR paradox). Essentially, it is this “magical” interaction that the theorem, formulated in 1965 by Dr. John S. Bell, speaks of. Thus, “Bell's theorem” states that there is some kind of non-local connection between two particles that have ever been in contact. This theorem, which challenged classical science, was carefully retested by the famous physicist D. Bohm. The conclusion was clear: there is no theoretical error in it!
But theoretical speculations are not enough. Science requires experimental evidence. And confirmation of the truly mystical connection that exists in the Universe was not long in coming. An amazing effect was discovered and repeated many times, for which no reasonable explanation other than torsion or “metaphysical” has yet been found.
Thus, it turned out that between the “fragments” of the same atom, split with the help of a strong magnetic field, an instantaneous and distance-independent information connection continues to be maintained! In other words, each microparticle constantly knows what is happening with its “sibling”. A similar phenomenon was discovered in photons separated using a special system of mirrors.
Employees of the Institute of Management Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Biological Sciences P.P. Garyaev and Candidate of Technical Sciences G.G. Tertyshny, using their installation, achieved the continuous formation of pairs of “bound” (“entangled”) photons - “left” and “right”. And again the same effect: a change in the state of one of the photons (for example, the “left”) is instantly transmitted to the other (“right”). Everyone knows at any moment what is happening to his “sibling.”
All this, at a new level, strengthens the idea that the ancients were right: the entire Universe is a single whole, in which everything is connected to everything. And not only in space, but also in time.
Of course, the nature of this invisible connection is very important: is it direct or indirect (through “intermediaries”), whether it is a thin “web” or a powerful “information cable”. First of all, “throughput” depends on this, which ultimately determines both the completeness and quality of the received information.
It is this throughput that determines how fully and clearly we will perceive through any object its “brother”, remote in space and time. Whether we can barely guess his vague “silhouette” emerging from the darkness or whitish fog, or vice versa, we will see this image clearly and in detail. In other words, will we have "vaguely" or clairvoyance.
Naturally, how long certain objects were in close contact is of considerable importance. The longer their close contact was, the more they are “saturated” with each other, the better their mutual attunement and mutual “understanding”. The stronger the invisible information thread connecting them.
Many people know very well from their own experience how close people feel about each other even at great distances: mother and child, husband and wife... To no less, and perhaps to a greater extent, this concerns the information interaction of a person with his beloved animals. Probably everyone can share their observations - they are so numerous. My Tyopa, for example, unmistakably felt when I left work and headed home: she ran to the front door, began to frantically wag her tail and whine.
And this was not at all connected with any usual routine: the dog knew the moment of my leaving work down to the minute, even at an unusual time. My wife and I repeatedly checked this by the hour... Most likely, such information connections can also explain the mysterious cases of death of animals immediately after the death of their owners, even if it happened far away, for example, in a hospital...
In the same way, an invisible connection is formed between a person and the objects with which he came into contact. What these “invisible threads” are remains a mystery. Although hypotheses exist. Today, for example, the idea is increasingly expressed that “invisible threads,” like our consciousness, have a torsion nature and that it is torsion fields that are carriers of information emanating from any object of living and inanimate nature.
Although not particularly advertised, intensive research is now being conducted in these areas. Moreover, intelligence services in different countries are already purposefully training people who can connect to a stranger even at great distances, using a photograph or some thing that belonged to him.
The fact is that these objects not only remember the “native” field of their owner, but also constantly “track” him (the owner). And if a person communicated with the object for a long time, this “thread” will be very “thick” and strong - like a rope. With the help of such “information threads”, even after many years, an item can be “connected” to its former owner. And not only learn about his current state, but also influence him.
The same applies to the information interaction of inanimate objects. They also “get used” to each other and “feel” what is happening to their “soul mate.” A very recent example. This happened on August 12, 2000, when the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk sank in the Barents Sea. It was at this moment that in the house of the commander of another submarine, the Voronezh, who had previously served on the Kursk, the clock itself malfunctioned and the clock stopped. The same ones that once hung in his cabin on the Kursk. Mystic? Coincidence? Maybe. However, many similar cases have been recorded...
And they are especially impressive when it comes to mirrors - these mysterious objects that have special information capabilities. In moments when something extraordinary happens to people close to them or even inanimate objects, mirrors react very sharply: for no apparent reason they fall from the shelves, tear off the walls, and if they are firmly fixed, they suddenly crack or crumble into fragments...
The mirror from Novorossiysk is a clear example of this. Let's think: the battleship Giulio Cesare (Julius Caesar) was built and equipped on the eve of the First World War - in 1913. It turns out that the mirror that hung in one of his cabins was part of him for forty years! It literally “grew with its soul” to the ship. And there is nothing supernatural in the fact that at the moment of the death of the battleship and its crew, it did not remain indifferent to the tragedy. After all, a mirror is not a very simple object.
Vitaly Pravdivtsev
V. PRAVDIVTSEV “These mysterious mirrors”
“Cybernetist, Candidate of Technical Sciences Vitaly PRAVDIVTSEV investigated the mysterious properties of mirrors and came to the conclusion: we put a program in the mirror, and it programs us.
Mirrors amaze with their incomprehensible duality of the world. On the one hand, it is a material object, and on the other, an intangible reflection, a phantom. Since ancient times, many evidences of mysterious phenomena associated with them have been preserved. What's going on in Through the Looking Glass? Vitaly Leonidovich Pravdivtsev puts forward three hypotheses: mirrors are:
An instrument that puts a person into an altered state of consciousness,
An optical device that helps you see images of the subtle world,
A device that allows images that appear in the mind of one person to become accessible to other people.
MIRROR CAN:
REMEMBER EVENTS
This incident happened to my friends, a Muscovite couple,” says Vitaly Leonidovich. “They became interested in antiques and furnished the apartment in an ancient spirit: carved furniture, paintings, jewelry. We haven’t seen each other for several months, and suddenly there’s a phone call - they want to talk about something important. We met. At first glance it became clear that something was wrong. Both are tortured, their eyes are sunken. Some kind of mysticism, they say. Nightmares tormented both of them at night, the dreams were strange and, most importantly, very similar. It turned out that both of them dreamed about how they were burning. They wake up from their own scream. I asked in more detail, and it turned out that a couple of months ago they bought a beautiful family mirror from a lonely old woman in St. Petersburg. They brought it to Moscow and hung it in the bedroom. From that time on the nightmares began. I advised moving it to another room. Coincidence or not, the bad dreams stopped. After some time, another call. Friends report that they were in St. Petersburg again and specifically went to that old woman to find out the history of the mirror. It turns out that during the blockade, her younger brother knocked over a burning kerosene lamp on himself and was so burned that it was impossible to save him. And the tragedy occurred in the room where this mirror hung.
So, the mirror is able to “remember” events that happen “before its eyes”? - I gasped.
Yes, but not as a specific scene,” explains Vitaly Leonidovich. - It remembers only the state that arose in a person under the influence of what happened. Consciousness itself will decipher and interpret the meaning of this “record,” but will bring to life only those images that are close to a person’s personal experience. After all, mirrors, like other objects, bear the imprint of the owner’s personality.
But thought is immaterial!
Let us recall the school physical experience. Iron filings are poured onto the cardboard, and a magnet is brought from below: the filings, as if on command, line up along invisible magnetic lines. And even if you remove the magnet after that, the drawing remains. It turns out that something similar happens with our thoughts and feelings. According to some scientists, under the influence of “psychic radiation” that every person has, the smallest elementary particles of the Universe, like sawdust in school experience, line up, creating a unique pattern in space - the imprint of our emotions and thoughts. The same imprint remains on objects used by a person.
LET THE DEAD IN
Why do they hang mirrors or turn them towards the wall in front of the dead?
Some argue that through the “open window” the soul of the deceased can pull someone “there”, into another world. Others say that the thirst for life of the deceased can lead to the fact that, using the mirror as a guide, he will come to us from the “other world” and become restless. Still others say that while the deceased is in the house and the “window” from another world is “ajar,” astral beings, including other people’s restless souls, can enter the house. And this allegedly can cause mental illness in family members. And there is also a belief: the soul of a dead person, instead of leaving for another world, can enter a mirror and remain in it, as if trapped. If you purchase such a mirror, the consequences can be tragic - even bringing a curse on the whole family.
How to recognize this “evil glass”?
They are very cold to the touch, and church candles go out in front of them. Such mirrors must be broken and thereby free the soul imprisoned in them.
And if you don’t want to throw away the “damned” mirror, then what should you do?
After a visit from a not-so-pleasant person, wipe all the mirrors in the apartment with a damp cloth. Even better is to wash them with holy or spring water. After “water procedures”, hold a lighted candle in front of the mirror. You can also expose the mirror to bright sun or irradiate it with a quartz lamp.
AGING PEOPLE...
Women love to show off in front of the mirror for a long time. Isn't it harmful?
Scientists at a New York institute, using an ultrasensitive magnetic wave detector, have been studying the effects of a mirror on a person for 15 years. It turned out that people who spend a lot of time in front of the mirror, and especially if they look into their own eyes for a long time, begin to feel tired and have worse memory. Experimenters have proven that mirrors accumulate human energy, acting as energy “vampires”. The process of taking energy begins in about three minutes. Therefore, the victims are mainly those who like to admire their reflection for a long time. But that's not the worst thing. It turned out that those who often look in the mirror age much faster. The effect of accelerated aging can be explained from the standpoint of modern bioenergy. The energy emitted by us and reflected from the mirror partially neutralizes and, as it were, eats away our own “protective aura” from the front.
AND REJUVENATE
It is possible to create a rejuvenating mirror,” Pravdivtsev gave the sensation. - It is necessary to make the transparent surface in front of the mirror amalgam not from ordinary glass, but, for example, from crystal. Then the light passing through it will become polarized. After being reflected from the metal amalgam, the polarized light will pass back through the crystalline glass. And this will make it even “thinner.” Next, you need to make a transparent coating in front of the amalgam not from one layer of crystalline material, but to assemble a kind of crystalline package from the thinnest Polaroids. Moreover, they are made from different materials, and their optical axes are oriented differently. Assembled on the principle of a complex lens (from different lenses), this layered crystalline “pie” can turn a “knife” of reflected polarized light into a “needle” that will be able to work wonders. The effect of such a light “needle” on a person can be very strong - up to tissue regeneration. Every day, half an hour in front of such a mirror - and the wrinkles will disappear.
ADVIСE
A child under one to three years old should not look in the mirror. Otherwise, it will stop growing, begin to stutter, and teeth will be difficult to cut.
Mirrors should not look at sleeping people: if you wake up at night or in the morning and see yourself, you will be scared and lose energy and strength.
Glue mirror foil crosses on the bottom of the bed, chair, or armchair. Such a brilliant cross not only reflects energy, but also, thanks to its shape, swirls and dissipates it. Then your sleep will improve and irritability will decrease.
Don't take into your home an old mirror with a rich backstory. If they took it, then you will guess about it from your dreams. So, if, after purchasing or receiving an old mirror as a gift, some obsessive and unfamiliar images suddenly begin to regularly appear in your dreams, unusual desires, inexplicable fears arise, etc., then it is possible that their cause is your new acquisition.
When you are sick or overtired, look in the mirror less often. And under no circumstances scold yourself in front of him: “offended”, he will “remember” everything. It's better to approach the mirror with a smile. And before you leave him, smile again and wish yourself success. A positive program strengthened and returned by the mirror will help relieve stress, lift your spirits, and set you up for good luck. After all, we put a program in the mirror, and it programs us.”
“In the Chinese tradition, the mirror was considered to drive out evil, for the evil that looks into the mirror and sees its ugliness is filled with horror.
On the social plane it symbolizes loyalty, and on the spiritual plane it is an attribute of the Sage who manifests his mind in the manner of a mirror.
In Japan, the mirror (yata-no-kagami) plays a primary role: it is one of the imperial treasures along with the throne, the sword and the Three Pearls, symbols of the three virtues: chi (knowledge), yu (courage) and jin (mercy).
Shinto tradition associates the octagonal mirror with the symbolism of metal and the cosmic epic of Amaterasu, the sun goddess, whom it forced to emerge from a cave in order to return its light to the world. The mirror, reflecting the goddess and thereby extracting her from the state of majestic rest of the deity, is a symbol of the world, the space in which the image is reflected.
Associated with the number 8 (the number of abundance), the mirror is a symbol of divine perfection.
The mirror is a lunar symbol: like the moon, it is an indirect reflection of the image. Shaivism likens Abhasas, or external appearance, to reflection in a mirror. Just as the reflection in the mirror is no different from the mirror itself, but appears in it as something different from it, so the Abhasas are no different from Shiva, but only appear as different from him. Just as in a mirror a village, a tree, a river, etc. appear as distinct from the mirror itself, but in no way, strictly speaking, different from it, so the world reflected in the universal consciousness is no different from the latter.
Comparable to water, the mirror becomes magical and is used for fortune telling in the Congo, among the Bambara peoples and Asia. This is a bowl of water or a mirror in which the medium sees spirits.
During the Middle Ages, it was a reflection of the divine word and a means of interpretation. To reflect means to have a mirror that reflects divine laws and thus allows one to know them. It is also a means of observing the stars and studying the laws of the Cosmos. A real person, according to Vincent de Beauvais (author of the theological work The Great Mirror, or Speculum majus), is a mirror of the Cosmos, in which the invisible is reflected. The practice of reflection thus contributes to our development. Perfect creations are mirrors directed towards the Light, and the mirror itself is a reflection of the inner life.
To narrow down the search results, you can refine your query by specifying the fields to search for. The list of fields is presented above. For example:
You can search in several fields at the same time:
Logical operators
The default operator is AND.
Operator AND means that the document must match all elements in the group:
research development
Operator OR means that the document must match one of the values in the group:
study OR development
Operator NOT excludes documents containing this element:
study NOT development
Search type
When writing a query, you can specify the method in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search taking into account morphology, without morphology, prefix search, phrase search.
By default, the search is performed taking into account morphology.
To search without morphology, just put a “dollar” sign in front of the words in the phrase:
$ study $ development
To search for a prefix, you need to put an asterisk after the query:
study *
To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:
" research and development "
Search by synonyms
To include synonyms of a word in the search results, you need to put a hash " #
" before a word or before an expression in parentheses.
When applied to one word, up to three synonyms will be found for it.
When applied to a parenthetical expression, a synonym will be added to each word if one is found.
Not compatible with morphology-free search, prefix search, or phrase search.
# study
Grouping
In order to group search phrases you need to use brackets. This allows you to control the Boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:
Approximate word search
For an approximate search you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word from a phrase. For example:
bromine ~
When searching, words such as "bromine", "rum", "industrial", etc. will be found.
You can additionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1 or 2. For example:
bromine ~1
By default, 2 edits are allowed.
Proximity criterion
To search by proximity criterion, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of the phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:
" research development "~2
Relevance of expressions
To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the " sign ^
" at the end of the expression, followed by the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the expression is.
For example, in this expression, the word “research” is four times more relevant than the word “development”:
study ^4 development
By default, the level is 1. Valid values are a positive real number.
Search within an interval
To indicate the interval in which the value of a field should be located, you should indicate the boundary values in parentheses, separated by the operator TO.
Lexicographic sorting will be performed.
Such a query will return results with an author starting from Ivanov and ending with Petrov, but Ivanov and Petrov will not be included in the result.
To include a value in a range, use square brackets. To exclude a value, use curly braces.
