Hello dear readers! The idea to write this book originated in me a few years ago. Once I read this phrase on the Internet, «Choosing religion, you choose fate. This phrase made me think. I have lived most of my life in Christianity, and I only knew about the existence of heaven and hell. For several years now, I have been in paganism, in the Slavic Rodnoveria. Having studied this faith, I realized that there is no heaven and hell. There are other paybacks for the deeds done. There are other religions and rituals. So which faith and religion are the most correct?
In this book, I will describe three world religions, where they came from, what they carry in themselves, and what awaits the soul after death. This book will consist of three parts: Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Since I am in paganism, another fourth part will be written, dedicated to the choice of my faith. All three religions described above are world religions. All accept the fourth paganism. Paganism is not recognized by the world, and is not a religion at all. This will be written about in the first part dedicated to the Slavs’ Rodnoverie.
A person should think about the choice of his faith from the moment he came to it. Everyone who reads this book, remember how you accepted your faith. No one remembers the day of his or her baptism. Because he was baptized in infancy. Faith should be accepted voluntarily, not imposed. God Jesus himself was baptized at the age of thirty-three. Nowadays, they try to baptize children in one month. Thereby trying to protect from the evil eye. Is it right?
Of course, every parent will raise their child in the religion in which they are themselves. But this does not give the right to prevent a person from studying and choosing another religion.
Now the most important thing is what is faith? And what is religion?
Religion is a kind of social phenomenon, one of the forms of perception, understanding of everything that exists, the world, the Universe. It is usually based on a belief in some supernatural entities. According to theologians, religion connects God and people. Religion is an official affiliation to a certain denomination, as well as a creed with a ritual.
Faith is the acceptance of an unproven something, an idea, a phenomenon, based more on an inner feeling, intuition. It is justified subjectively and does not require proof. The object of faith exists exclusively in the state of possibility. It can be felt psychologically, emotionally and figuratively. It depends on the characteristics of the body.
I very often hear the question, «Do you believe in God?» I answer. But who is God? This is a difficult question. Everyone believes in his or her chosen God. God himself is good. It is a higher power that controls us, helps us, and protects us. If you look at it this way, then no one has seen God, but everyone believes in him, and no one knows what he really looks like.
Every religion has its own God, disciples, and prophets. In every religion, God is called differently, but in fact, God is one. And everyone believes in him. By assuming a religion, a person undertakes before God to follow his commandments, abandoned teachings, canons, etc. If this religion is accepted voluntarily. It is worse if a person is in faith and does not understand what he believes. It is just that every person violates the heavenly laws, commandments, canons, etc. Voluntarily or not consciously, or he has to break them. That’s how the world works. That’s how man works.
Everyone knows that after death he will have to answer for his every crime. And the closer this day comes, the scarier a person becomes. He begins to remember his life, his actions, some of the people try to repent in order to ease their soul, and leave this life with forgiveness.
The way of life changes the inner world of a person. Breaks it. The environment in which a person lives is also not a little important. Of their own free will, or under duress. There are also life circumstances under which a person commits certain actions. Once, while in church confession, when I was in Christianity, I heard such a parable. One priest was engaged in painting icons, and he was looking for a young man to draw an image of an angel. He found one, the young man’s face was clean and beautiful and an angel was drawn from this young man. A few years later, the same priest was looking for a man to draw a demon. And he started going to prisons and confessing prisoners. One day he found such a man, his face was so ugly that the priest was afraid to confess him. And he asked this man to portray a demon. But the worst part is that it was the same person.
In every religion, there is an afterlife. In Christianity and Islam, this is heaven and hell. In Buddhism, this is the transmigration of souls. In Paganism, our ancestors are waiting for us.
Now let us talk about accepting religion by force. This is about those people who have accepted this or that faith against their will. First, this is a violation of human rights, an insult to religious feelings, and most importantly, it is the destruction of the individual. This violent act destroys a person from the inside. How many people died while converting to Islam or Christianity?
Let us remember our princesses who forcibly took vows. Solomonia Saburova. The first wife of Vasily III, forcibly tonsured into a monastery with the name Sophia after 20 years of marriage. She was never able to give birth to her husband’s child. There is evidence that she was even beaten because she persisted and did not want to become a nun.
Anna Vasilchikova. The wife of Ivan the Terrible. Forcibly tonsured as a nun in 1575. She lived out her sorrowful age in the Pokrovsky Convent of the city of Suzdal, which more than once in history became a shelter for unwanted wives.
Sofya Alekseevna Romanovna. The ruler of Russia, the regent of the state during the infancy of the brothers Ivan and Peter. She was tonsured by her younger brother Peter I in 1698 after another revolt of the Streltsy, who tried to bring Sophia, who had been overthrown by her brother, back to power. In monasticism, she bore the name of Susanna, but in 1704, she accepted the «great schema» and regained the name Sofia. She ended her days in the Novodevichy Monastery in Moscow, in severe monastic imprisonment.
So you can enumerate indefinitely. If you go into details, you can find arguments and facts about how people were tortured and killed in monasteries. There were torture chambers. And even an instrument of torture. And in fact, religion should bring good, love.
It is good when a person has accepted faith consciously, voluntarily. This man has thoroughly imbued himself with religion and knows what he believes in. My first part will be devoted to Paganism, since I am in it myself.
PART one PAGANISM
CHAPTER 1
The ancient history of the Slavs is being restored based on archaeological sources, linguistics data and evidence from written sources. Written sources are of particular importance for the restoration of the ethnogenesis of the Slavs. Ancient Greek and Roman authors mention the Veneds, who live north of the Carpathians, along the Vistula and are adjacent to the Fenns (Finno-Ugrians) in the north, the Pevkins and Sarmatians in the south. Extensive information is contained in the works of Byzantine writers; there is also important information from the Gothic historian of the VI century Jordan. He divides the Slavs into three major groupings – Veneds, Ants and Sklavens.
In recent years, archaeologists have established that this information can be trusted. It is important to note that recreating the correct picture of the origin and life of the ancient Slavs is impossible only from one source. Such an integrated approach was defined by A.A. Shakhmatov (experiments on the reconstruction of the oldest dialect interaction with the help of «extra-linguistic» material). This idea was supported and implemented by the Polish linguist T. Ler-Splavinsky, and the Soviet scientist Indo-European B. V. Gornung. He believed that «only generalized archaeological data can be a criterion for testing the historically real possibility of certain linguistic hypotheses.» One of the sources for studying the history of the Slavs are various notes from ancient sources and travelers. The Slavs were first mentioned in the monuments of writing, starting from the I—II century A.D. in the works of Roman historians and Greek philosophers. However, it is not yet possible to compile a complete detailed history of the Slavs in the I—IV centuries AD. Some researchers note that the first news about the Slavs dates back to the V century BC. Therefore, Herodotus, telling about the life of the rich Greeks, mentions the imported amber from a distant country lying in the north, near the river Eriades and the cold, stormy sea. In addition, the first information about the Slavs comes from the Roman historians Pliny the Elder and Cornelius Tacitus. These are brief mentions, and both Roman authors call the Slavs «Veneds».
Depending on how archives and libraries are completed, what documents and books they receive, what documents are destroyed, for what reasons they are destroyed, it is possible to judge the usefulness of the source of the base of historical science. Naturally, not all historical sources that were created in the past have reached our days… Practically, we have fragmentary data, single documents that were created earlier than the 16th century. The corpus of sources began to be more or less evenly folded after the invention of printing. The appearance of replicated publications ensured their greater safety. Handwritten documents and books were created and stored, as a rule, in monasteries. The most valuable documents for the state were kept in princely palaces.
Nikon became patriarch in 1652. Nikon, according to G. Florovsky, belongs to those strange people who seem to have no face, but only temperament. Instead of a face, an idea or a program. Contemporaries talked and wrote a lot about Nikon’s church reform, contradictorily. He did not know Greek, but he «had an almost morbid tendency to redo and re-dress everything in Greek, as Peter later had a passion for dressing everyone or everything in German or Dutch. They have a common similarity: the ease of breaking with the past, premeditation and contrivance in action…
To study the history of Russia, it is interesting to trace how foreigners looked at our country. In this regard, the recently published book «Ancient Russia in the light of foreign sources» should be noted.
It is also important to introduce documents on the history of Russia stored in foreign archives into scientific circulation.
Pagan – this word in the meaning of idolater is a borrowing from Old Slavonic, where it had the meaning of «gentile» and was formed as a tracing paper from the Greek ethnikos from ethnos – «people».
In my opinion, paganism is a religion that has been destroyed for many hundreds of years. Now, when people have freedom of choice, our traditions have begun to revive again.
Paganism is a cult. This is the cult of ancient knowledge, this is the Vedas, and this is a completely incomprehensible history that has survived to our times.
Paganism is the oldest religion on Earth. It has absorbed thousands of years of wisdom, knowledge, history, culture. In our time, pagans are called those who profess the old faith, which was before the emergence of Christianity.
Information about paganism has reached our days because during the baptism, our ancestors converted to Christianity and continued to worship the gods and honor our ancestors. In order to preserve our Vedas and traditions in this way.
Paganism is a term used in Christianity to define non-Avramic religions. In a broader and modern sense, paganism is commonly called any polytheistic or non-traditional religions that are outside of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism. In simple words, Paganism is a belief in one of the many ancient religions based on the worship of various gods or supernatural beings that do not belong to Christianity, Islam or Judaism.
Facts about Paganism:
– Pagans do not believe in the Christian concept of God, but it was Christian mythology that borrowed a significant part of the ideas from pagan beliefs.
– Pagans do not believe in the devil or Satan. This concept originated with Christianity.
– Pagans are not Satanists. Satanism was born out of a response to Christianity. This has nothing to do with the pagan mythologies that preceded Christianity.
– Pagans do not sacrifice people or animals. In ancient times, all religions, including Christianity, performed rites of sacrifice. Today’s pagans have left this part of their ancient belief system in the past.
– Many holidays originate from paganism. For example: Christmas, Easter and Halloween. There is also a holiday Kostroma and Kupala, which Christians appropriated for themselves, and now it is called Ivan Kupala.
– «The Gentiles don’t hate Jesus, but they don’t worship him. Most people think he was a good man who tried to make the world a better place. But the pagans do not consider him a god.
– For pagans, magic and incantation are acts of purposeful prayer with a clear intention.
Paganism is an established religious system that has contributed to the development of major religions and to the culture of various nations as a whole. In a sense, it is in paganism, in traditions and rituals, that the main arguments that influenced the formation of peoples and nations as a whole are stored, and made them what they are now. And even only from a historical point of view, these belief systems are of great value both for certain peoples and for humanity as a whole.
By itself, paganism is freedom. The Slavs were free, they lived in tribes. Slavs lived at the expense of livestock and agriculture, at the expense of nature. They revered nature. Nature was their god, and they loved her. By itself, the meaning of the word nature is already a GENUS, i.e. we are WITH a GENUS! With God. Our main god is the god Rod.
Paganism is also called the Slavs’ Rodnoverie. The meaning of the Rodnoveriya is the revival of Russian traditions, ancient Slavic rituals, and ancient creeds. The Rodnoverie is a sacred religion for the Slavs. Rodnovers tend to plunge into it even more with the help of various rituals. The basis of the Rodnoveriya is to be in harmony with nature, to use natural resources correctly, to live according to the law of ancestors. It helps people feel like a part of Nature, to observe its laws. National identity helps to form an independent and self-sufficient personality in a person.
Some pagans and fans of paganism are often interested in the question: when will our number increase, and when, finally, will our beliefs be officially recognized by the state? When the persecution by «official» religions and authorities will become outdated. To do this, the world around us needs to change seriously. Why? Because of the pagans themselves. Those who are interning and posting spam. Spreads negative information, insults other religions. Many consider themselves pagans, wear rotifers and do not know anything about paganism.
First, a pagan is necessarily a person. Even if he is in a crowd, he is not part of it. Even in a circle of like-minded people, he is a person, because everyone’s path is individual. There simply cannot be templates for personal development in paganism. A pagan will not keep up with the company, «like everyone else,» especially if he does not agree with the direction of travel or destination. For any totalitarian religion or political party, such a person is harmful, as well as for the state system as a whole.
CHAPTER 2
Law and religion, they are always there. The state needs a religion that will unite people, so that there would be a number. There are too few Rodnovers to make this religion legal. This religion is too diverse; it will not be numerous because of polytheism, so others do not perceive our religion. Yet our rituals, superstitions, and signs are present everywhere.
The Slavs call the Heavenly inhabitants Gods, and those Gods who live on Earth are called Aces (hence the image of the letters AZ – As and Earth, i.e. God living on Earth). Until now, the best in their field are called Aces: the pilot is an ace, the driver is an ace, i.e. he flies, drives like a God.
Our country has long been called ASIA – the Land of the Aces, since our Ancestors lived by Birth, the word ASIA received the abbreviation «RACE» – the Birth of the Aces of the Country of the Aces. The very name of the country «RACE» refers only to people with white skin color, there can be no «black race», «yellow race», other peoples and tribes had their own names. When the Clans of the Aces multiplied many times, multiplied on the Earth, they became a Great Race, i.e. a large numerous people (great = big).
There are four great kinds of Slavs:
– Yes, the Aryans are the first of the four genera of the great white Race. Their peculiarity is their exceptionally high height, up to two meters, ninety centimeters. The gray color of the eyes, in the Vedic epic, this color is called the color of steel, or the color of silver. The hair color is light blonde or light brown. Yes, the Aryans had the first blood group; over time, they began to have a second one. There can be no negative rhesus in the descendants of white blood. As well as the third and fourth blood groups. The skin color of this Race is gray. This is a brave family, whose vocation is to protect. They were the ones who made up the army of the great Race. Initially, the Aryans lived in the north, their writing is drags, and they became the basis of hieroglyphic and clay writing.
– Ha, Aryans are the second of the four initial genera of the great Race. This Race has its own distinctive features, its own characteristics. Their height reached up to three and a half meters. Their eye color is always green. Hair is always light brown, and light. The blood type can be first and second, Rh is always positive. This kind also excelled in the art of war, and was energetically hardier than the first kind. The descendants of this genus are more sensitive. They work well with technology; they are able to grasp the principle and essence of mechanisms, even if they see it for the first time. Ha Aryan Karuna has been recognized the universal letter of the great Race. Although each of the clans had its own writing system. On the planet Midgard Earth, their territory was Hara. Their main characteristics are wisdom and insight, their vocation to learn. The writing of the Ha Aryans is Karuna, it became the basis for sanskripts.
– The Rasen, the third descendants of the four initial genera of the great Race. They are known as Etruscans or Cyrenians. The Scandinavian Berseks inherited the traditions of the Rasen. Relative to other genera, the races are short, no more than two and a half meters, brown eyes. It was originally written for aria. What does it mean aspiring to Arias, it meant military rage. The hair color is dark brown, and just dark, dark brown. Most often, this genus is accompanied by the second blood group, less often the first. This genus has less martial art than the first two listed genera. This kind has rage, the ability to enter a combat trance. The Rasens have a weak energy, they are less resistant to negatives, and yet they feel thinner surrounding world. There were many priests and magi in their family. In the art of war, more often than not, the Rasen formed sabotage detachments, and thereby suppressed the enemy. Their territory was Paradise. The color of the Rasen is dark fiery, bright brown. Their main characteristics are rage, steadfastness. Their vocation is to support. The Rasen script is the Rasen Molvitsa, or mirror writing.
– The Holy Russians came from a planet from the constellation Makosh, or the Big Dipper. This is the fourth kind of the great Race. The appearance is close to Yes Aryans. Tall up to three meters, broad shoulders and a powerful physique. The color of the eyes is always blue, the color of the sky. Hair in a wide range from dark blond to almost gray. Blood type one and two. Their territory was located next to the Rasen, they are less inclined to master the martial art. Nevertheless, the Holy Russians were considered creators and creators; they are inclined to aesthetics and beauty, crafts, great architects, builders, poets and artists. Among the Holy Russians, there are many spiritual leaders in oracles, healers. Initially, there was a Swag on the mainland of the Svyatoruses, and according to legends, the Aryan Azgard was designed and built by representatives of this genus. In other words, if the Ha Aryans are the science of Race, then the Holy Russians are its inspiration. Their colors are heavenly, azure, light blue. Their main characteristic is creativity, aesthetics, their vocation to create. The writing of the Svyatoruses is a letter letter, a simplified version of the Korun. On its basis, with the addition of Greek, Church Slavonic writing was created.
According to these descriptions, it is clear that the Slavs were a white race. It is also possible to determine who belongs to which of the four genera. After evolution, a lot of time has passed; people have changed their body structure, height, weight. However, the color of the skin, eyes, and hair still belongs to the Slavic family. In addition, not all four representatives of the great Family may have had the third and fourth blood groups, as well as Rhesus negative. These factors appeared later.
Where life on Earth originated. From a scientific point of view, if people are divided into Races, and there is an alien Race, then life on Earth originated from outer space. From an alien Race. In the Slavic sense, we are the children of the gods.
In Slavic mythology, there are several versions about the creation of the world and the origin of life on earth. But no one knows how it really was. Here is one of the versions according to the book of the chronicle of Asov.
The Slavic myth tells that it all began with the god of the Genus. Before the white light was born, the world was shrouded in pitch darkness. In the darkness, there was only a Kind – the Progenitor of all things. In the beginning, the Genus was enclosed in an egg, but the Genus gave birth to Love – Lada, and by the power of Love destroyed the prison. Thus began the creation of the world. Further, the spring created two worlds: Heavenly (spiritual) and Celestial, that is, material, physical, thus dividing Light (mind) and Darkness (ignorance). From this, it becomes obvious that everything surrounding the Genus is Nature, the true essence of everything. Various sounds – muttering, murmuring – gave birth to Barma, the God of the Word. These combinations and sounds carried the teachings about gods, rules, God’s laws and rules of life around the world. (For the record, the chronicle states, «but the supreme God, the Cosmic Mind)». The word «cosmic mind» is mentioned in many books.
Another of the Slavic myths about the creation of the world says that at the very beginning there was only a boundless ocean in the world, over which a duck flew – it was she who dropped an egg into the water, which, having opened gave birth to the world. The lower part is the earth’s firmament, and its upper part formed the firmament.
The legends about the creation of the world are numerous and diverse. The oldest and most important myth in the understanding of the Slavs is a world born out of water, a gradual exit from the land. This is how the ancient Slavs imagined the origin of life on earth.
The idea of the world among the ancient Slavs is rather mythical than scientific. Anyway, in every religion, our planet Earth, just like we were in water before birth. Gods are a rather late invention of the human mind. The most ancient people did not believe in gods – it is difficult to believe in what you do not see. The first cults of all peoples are similar – they worshipped animals, the sun and the stars, the earth and the sky. Historians believe that the Slavs imagined the world in the form of a huge egg. Yolk is our land. The upper part of the yolk is the world of living people, animals, and trees. The lower part is the world of the dead.
