quite a strange room here and the
theater cosmonauts
what is it anyway where we are
first of all
who have the right to protection and
respect from any warring parties
This is what it says according to the act of peace on the part of all
governments and their peoples you
think an archaeologist Nikolai Konstantinovich with his
colleague, but I would like to understand how he, while
studying the past, began to see the future,
this memory of the future appeared. Yes,
you know, this is an extremely interesting and
important question; in fact, I
almost
had
a book that is, strictly
speaking, the answer to this question. The history of
Russian archeology with which
it’s true that very few people will be able to get to know each other,
a little bit even unexpectedly for
me, the figure
and teachings his scientific biography took,
strictly speaking, a central place for an
archaeologist time is, first of all, rows of
things
[music]
clay pots you will understand what you can
touch measure punch there with
X-rays but know very
precisely like that Roerich’s phenomenon lies
in the fact that he was one of the first to understand this
colossal, so to speak, power of archeology in the
archaeological sense, this possibility
of materialization, the possibility of the embodiment of
time. Imagine 5,000 such Nations,
Ivanovsky excavated about people, he studied with him
as a high school student and a high school student, he
called himself for his first excavations, he carried out the
excavations himself there is a most interesting monument to this
day, archaeologists are discussing about him,
this is a separate story, this
may not stop important other things,
remaining a professional archaeologist and
comprehending the Russian Slavs, archeology,
first of all, deeper and deeper Roerich
at the same time, this is what I called
materialization, the thought he found in
the art
of painting and now his first big work, the
end of the mouth of the people, If you remember
the chronicle, this is the key initial episode of
Russian history, if at all this is what
precedes the calling of the Varangians, this is
the time with the suppression of tribes, which
then begins the Russian
land itself, and here are not only
ethnographic realities, so to speak
archaeological absolutely reliably in the
background, the Slavic Settlement,
I had to explore, perhaps, a prototype of
just this very place on the Meadow, there
is Gorodets, a friend
where there was a platform, Roerich knew such places
perfectly and felt, and here is the
next experience of his historical
vision and generalization, overseas guests, the
landscape also seemed it would seem aloof It
would seem like some kind of
Primorsky is quite easy But
everyone who has been to Staraya Ladoga And this is
Hmm, an amazingly significant place Roerich was
one of the first to feel in all its
depth, he left an amazing heartfelt
and accurate verbal
description of what Ladoga is, how it
reveals itself and here these Varangian
la float along the radiation literally
repeating the emitted Volkhov. Here
begins the path of Russia from the Varangians, the Greeks,
this path from the northern barbarism of the
Callinistic Christian finitude
and not only Christian spirituality, and
therefore all of his following images of
Ancient Russia, they are surprisingly accurate,
soulful and spiritual.
comprehends this innermost, so to
speak, essence of the spiritual energy that
this Earth exudes,
inextricably connecting it, and with these
monuments,
he is lazy and sits, and the shepherd, again,
on a real Novgorod Kurgan,
lying on a bed with these characteristic fences,
and it is clear that he sees the Mongolian Kurgan the
same way in the same way will penetrate
into the essence of that spiritual energy that Hmm
is hidden in other cultures,
Sherrikh’s painting is already the past
addressed to the present and announcing
when His path leads to the Himalayas there the
artist pretends to be a philosopher This is the
trinity of the scientific artist the thinker
was the first who consciously and
consistently set and decided the task of
forming a planetary scale of thought
and not, so to speak, in a
generalized way. Well, of course, the previous
teachings also sought to embrace the whole
world, by the way, but they simply did not know what this
world was like, that you were there beyond the boundaries of the ocean, and
so on the topic in words which
note before, so to speak, Come to
the formulation of his teachings from Russia
to France to America. This very important
circumstance is that
he creates and tries to develop the first center of his teaching
in this new world and to
us at the other end of the Atlantic in another
completely different European
culture, and finally only after that
India closing
the triangle is Russia of the
future of our planet. Yes, it is precisely on
the cooperation of these countries, yes, one way
or another, we now already have the foundations of
this global
structure, let’s say world culture,
and in order for it to live, it is necessary that
this united Planetary
self-awareness, these foundations are the
total humanity a single Cathedral man is born
[music]
do you want a happier, more
perfect life, do
you want to find something
especially beautiful in this life
And the majority will of course tell you so,
they say that a person is a
collection of all sorts of such habits, so
maybe, in any case, one thing is clear
that if we really
strive for something
and think about it every day,
then it
will become
part of an
integral part of us; obstacles are
inevitable, not as always in my writings, I
wrote and said that we will
bless all these difficulties
because we grow between difficulties, we
must develop to grow in
inner spiritual ways, what
spirituality is is an
inner
aspiration that is inherent in each of
us
