The genius of A. S. Pushkin has nourished Russian souls all over the world for almost two centuries. All new generations of researchers of the great Poet's work with passion read his cherished lines, but rarely they manage to notice something that previously escaped the attention of readers …

On June 6, 1799, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born, whose genius has been feeding the Russian souls of various nationalities all over the world for the third century. The folk path does not overgrow to it. All new and new generations of researchers of the great Poet's work with passion read his cherished lines, but rarely they manage to notice something that previously escaped the attention of readers. The material presented below is based on the studies of the modern zealot of Pushkin's creativity V. M. Lobov, devoted to the question of A. S. Pushkin's introduction to the secret images of Russian culture. It is believed that this was done by the nanny Arina Rodionovna, telling the young Sasha Pushkin wonderful Russian folk tales. However, many people listened to fairy tales in childhood. How, then, did the keys to the secret images of the Russian language end up in the reliable hands of A. S. Pushkin?

A. S. Pushkin was already studying at the Lyceum, when on May 7, 1812 his "long foreseen meeting" with the sorcerer * Finn ("Ruslan and Lyudmila") took place.

Walking along the paths of Tsarskoye Selo Park, the 13-year-old boy met an elder-sorcerer, who told him a lot of interesting things about the history of Russia, about the secret laws of nature and society, about which Pushkin wrote in Ruslan and Lyudmila:

But listen, in my homeland

Among the desert fishermen **

Wonderful science lurks …

In another verse, he further elaborated:

Still in childishness, senseless and evil

I met an old man with a bald head

With quick eyes, a mirror of unsteady thought, With lips compressed into a wrinkled smile."

(1836)

What old man are we talking about? About Voltaire, whose famous sculptural portrait is easily recognizable in the description of the old man? But similar facial features could well belong to the one who gave the cherished "morocco notebook" to young Pushkin. Presumably, this could only happen in Tsarskoye Selo parks or in the houses of Tsarskoye Selo, where young Pushkin was entered, since the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum was a strictly closed educational institution, and the lyceum students were not allowed to go home even for summer vacations until the very end of the Lyceum.

It is about such rare initiation meetings that the Bible says: “He Himself gave me the false knowledge of what exists in order to know the structure of the world and the action of the elements, beginning, end and middle of times, change of turns and change of times, circles of years and position of stars, …

I knew everything, both intimate and obvious, for she taught me Wisdom, an artist of everything …

She is a reflection of eternal light and a pure mirror of God's action and an image of His goodness. She is one, but she can do everything and, being in herself, renews everything, and, passing from generation to generation into holy souls, prepares friends of God and prophets; …

I fell in love with her and sought from my youth, and wished to take her as a bride for myself, and became a lover of her beauty *** … If anyone loves righteousness, its fruits are the essence of virtue: it teaches chastity and prudence, justice and courage, which are nothing more useful not for people in life. If anyone desires great experience, wisdom knows the past long ago and guesses the future, knows the subtleties of words and the solution of riddles, foresees signs and wonders and the consequences of years and times. Therefore, I judged to accept her into coexistence with me, knowing that she would be my counselor for good and consolation in concern and sorrow. Through her (wisdom) I will have glory among the people and honor before the elders, as a young man; … Through her I will achieve immortality and leave an eternal memory for the future after me. I will rule the peoples, and the tribes will obey me; … ".(Bible, "The Book of Wisdom of Solomon" ch. 7, 8)

This is exactly how the poet later described the meaning of secret knowledge, collected bit by bit, in The Miserly Knight:

So I, bringing a handful of the poor

I get used to my tribute here to the basement, He lifted my hill - and from its height

I can look at everything that is under my control.

What is beyond my control? Like a certain Demon

From now on, I can rule the world …

This old sorcerer, the prototype of Finn, may have given the youth the necessary books and the Moroccan Notebook, which in a short time raised the figurative worldview of the young man Pushkin to unprecedented heights, and said the well-known words: “I will make you fishers of people , Which Pushkin will remember in 1836:

The fisherman spread the seine along the bank of the cold sea;

The boy helped his father. Boy, leave the fisherman!

Some others await you, other worries:

Thou shalt grasp the minds, thou shalt be the helper of the kings!

("Boy" 1836)

He hid the secret books and took them out at night, when everyone was already asleep. From that time on, he began to find out the real value of books, on which he spent a lot of time and money throughout his life. He wrote about this as follows:

The cemetery was acquired

On the lowest shelf

All school talk

Lying in the dust

Screeching essays, Foolona psalmopenia, Notable creations

Alas! One mice.

Eternal world and oblivion

And prose and poetry!

But I am protected by them

(You should know this)

I hid in secret

A morocco notebook.

This scroll is precious, Saved for centuries, From a member of the Russian forces,

Cousin, Dragoon soldier

I got it for free

You seem to be in doubt …

It is not difficult to guess;

So, these are essays, Scorned seal.

("Town (K ***)" 1815)

Who is this member of the Russian forces? The cousin of the dragoon soldier turned out to be the keeper of the ancient manuscript or the sorcerer himself - a scientist initiated into a deep knowledge of the rhythms of nature and society, who, in turn, received them from the same scientist-sorcerer as a baton. As the "European civilization" advanced, Russian scientists-sorcerers were pushed back to the North to their fellow sorcerers. In Europe, the Inquisition raged, scientists were declared heretics, they themselves and their books were burned and expelled. Do I need to add that there could be no question of any printing and publication of the "morocco notebooks" they kept? The caste of the keepers of the time of the Magi never needed this, tk. owned and has more advanced mechanisms for storing and transmitting information than printing.

Further, the trace of the representative of the Russian forces in the fate of Pushkin seems to be lost, but in 1836 Alexander Sergeevich will write a few mysterious lines about someone:

The waters are deep

Flow smoothly.

Wise people

They live quietly.

In the wild north, in the swamps of Finland, such unknown scientists lived. They spent their whole lives observing, thinking and calculating. When the time came for the birth of the prophet in Russia, they moved closer to Moscow and recognized him in the curly, mobile, bright nobleman Pushkin. Waiting until 1813, the initial period of maturation of imaginative and scientific thinking in him, they met with him and continued their informal education, begun by his nanny Arina Rodionovna.

From that moment, Pushkin began to comprehend the "wondrous science" of cyclical processes in nature and society, consulting with the wise men, arguing with them, comparing the history of Europe and Russia. Perhaps in youthful naivety, he suggested that they talk to Alexander I about their appointment as secret advisers at court, and it was they who answered him with words that he would later put into the mouth of the prophetic old wizard:

Magi are not afraid of mighty rulers, And they do not need a princely gift;

Their prophetic language is truthful and free

And he is friendly with the will of heaven.

("Song of the Prophetic Oleg", 1822)

Alexander Sergeevich will write about his joy in discovering the laws of the development of nature and society in the poem "To Natalia" (1813). In it, he will express delight and love for a new science for him and his decision to become a minister of this sacred secret knowledge in the words: "Know, Natalia, I am a monk!"Pushkin, at the age of 14 (the golden ratio of his entire life at 38), wrote in his diary about his discoveries: “1813. Lyceum. Opening".

* Magus Finn- the hero of Alexander Pushkin's poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila". Perhaps, here for the first time since the Bible, the Magi again become heroes of the world famous literary narrative. The priestly caste of the Magi specializes in keeping time, that is, keeping the chronology. This is especially true for long periods of time, such as the cosmic epoch, galactic day (Svarog Circle), galactic year. The Magi also keep secret knowledge of the "will of heaven" concerning the peculiarities inherent in each epoch, time of the galactic day, season of the galactic year. The Magi are also aware of the innermost secrets of the origin of our Universe, which are inaccessible to the scientific method.

** Among desert fishermen …Desert fishermen are not fishermen on deserted shores, they are inhabitants of hermitic deserts, contemporaries of the era of Pisces (148 BC - 2012 AD) according to the biblical chronology. The tradition of calling the contemporaries of any era by the name of the era itself has existed for a long time. For example, in the Gospel of Matthew [62] we read: "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Why did God's messenger Christ appear to the sheep, and not to the goats or cows? Because Aries is the name of the era that precedes the era of Pisces. The era of Pisces on the cosmic calendar has come, but people still continued to live in terms of the already bygone, "lost" era of Aries. In this sense, they are lost sheep, that is, in spirit, concepts and way of thinking, they correspond to the bygone era of Aries, or ram times. Subsequently, the understanding of this circumstance was lost and the "times of ram" turned into "the times thereof."

*** Isn't this wisdom hiding in the image of the mysterious Nataliain the poem of young Pushkin "To Natalia" (1813) - "For the first time yet, I am ashamed, In love with women’s delights. The whole day, if I’m not spinning, I’m only busy with you; Night will come - and only you I see in an empty dream … I am alone in a gazebo with her, I see … a virgin lily, Trembling, languishing, numb … And woke up … "? Poetic tradition has long compared the state of the uninitiated mind with sleep, and initiation with awakening. This applies both to individuals and to entire nations. Remember "The Sleeping Beauty", "Ruslana and Lyudmila", "The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs" … The modern sharp interpretation of this theme in the film "They live, we sleep" (1988) by D. Carpenter is also interesting.
