The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish
An old man lived with his old woman
By the very blue sea;
They lived in a dilapidated dugout
Exactly thirty years and three years.
The old man was fishing with a net,
The old woman was spinning her yarn.
Once he threw a net into the sea, -
The net came with one slime.
He threw a seine another time,
A seine came with sea grass.
For the third time he threw a net, -
A seine came with one fish,
With a difficult fish - gold.
How the goldfish will beg!
He says in a human voice:
“Let me go, old man, into the sea,
Dear for myself, I will give a ransom:
I'll buy whatever you want."
The old man was surprised, frightened:
He fished for thirty years and three years
And I never heard the fish speak.
He released the goldfish
And he said to her a kind word:
“God be with you, goldfish!
I don't need your ransom;
Step into the blue sea
Walk there for yourself in the open."
The old man returned to the old woman,
He told her a great miracle.
“Today I caught a fish,
Goldfish, not simple;
In our opinion, the fish spoke,
The blue asked for a home in the sea,
Paid off at a high price:
I bought whatever I wanted.
I did not dare to take a ransom from her;
So he let her into the blue sea.
The old woman scolded the old man:
"You fool, you fool!
You did not know how to take a ransom from a fish!
If only you took a trough from her,
Ours is completely broken."
So he went to the blue sea;
He sees that the sea is slightly raging.
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
"Have mercy, sovereign fish,
My old woman scolded me
Does not give the old man peace:
She needs a new trough;
Ours is completely broken."
The goldfish replies:
You will have a new trough."
The old man returned to the old woman,
The old woman has a new trough.
The old woman scolds even more:
"You fool, you fool!
Begged, fool, trough!
Is there a lot of self-interest in the trough?
Come back, fool, you are to the fish;
Bow to her, ask for a hut already.
So he went to the blue sea,
You will have a new trough."
The old man returned to the old woman,
He began to call a goldfish,
"What do you want, old man?"
“Have mercy, empress fish!
The old woman scolds even more,
Does not give the old man peace:
A grumpy woman asks for a hut.
The goldfish replies:
"Do not be sad, go with God,
So be it: you will already have a hut.
He went to his dugout,
And there is no trace of the dugout;
In front of him is a hut with a lamp,
With a brick, bleached pipe,
With oak, plank gates.
The old woman sits under the window,
On what light is the husband scolds.
"You fool, you straight-forward fool!
Begged, simpleton, a hut!
Come back, bow to the fish:
I don't want to be a black peasant
I want to be a noblewoman."
The old man went to the blue sea;
(The blue sea is not calm.)
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
“Have mercy, empress fish!
More than ever, the old woman freaked out,
Does not give the old man peace:
She doesn't want to be a peasant
Wants to be a pillar noblewoman.
The goldfish replies:
"Do not be sad, go with God."
The old man turned to the old woman.
What does he see? High tower.
On the porch stands his old woman
In an expensive sable shower jacket,
Brocade on the top of the kichka,
Pearls weighed down the neck,
On the hands of gold rings,
On her feet are red boots.
Before her are zealous servants;
She beats them, drags them by the chuprun.
The old man says to his old woman:
“Hello, mistress madam noblewoman!
Tea, now your darling is satisfied.
The old woman yelled at him
She sent him to serve at the stable.
Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman fumed even more:
Again he sends the old man to the fish.
“Come back, bow to the fish:
I don't want to be a pillar noblewoman,
And I want to be a free queen.
The old man was frightened, he begged:
“What are you, woman, overeating with henbane?
You can't step, you can't speak,
You will make the whole kingdom laugh."
The old woman got more angry,
She hit her husband on the cheek.
"How dare you, man, argue with me,
With me, a pillar noblewoman? -
Go to the sea, they tell you with honor,
If you don’t go, they will lead you involuntarily.”
The old man went to the sea
(The blue sea turned black.)
He began to call the goldfish.
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
“Have mercy, empress fish!
Again my old woman rebels:
She no longer wants to be a noblewoman,
Wants to be a free queen.
The goldfish replies:
“Do not be sad, go with God!
Good! the old woman will be queen!
The old man returned to the old woman.
Well? before him are the royal chambers.
In the wards he sees his old woman,
She sits at the table like a queen,
Boyars and nobles serve her,
They pour her overseas wines;
She eats a printed gingerbread;
Around her stands a formidable guard,
They hold axes on their shoulders.
As the old man saw, he was frightened!
He bowed at the feet of the old woman,
He said: “Hello, formidable queen!
Well, now your darling is satisfied.
The old woman did not look at him,
She only ordered him to be driven out of sight.
The boyars and nobles ran up,
They pushed the old man in.
And at the door, the guard ran up,
I almost chopped it off with axes.
And the people laughed at him:
“To serve you, old ignoramus!
Henceforth you, ignoramus, science:
Don't get in your sleigh!"
Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman fumed even more:
He sends courtiers for her husband,
They found the old man, brought him to her.
The old woman says to the old man:
“Come back, bow to the fish.
I don't want to be a free queen
I want to be the mistress of the sea,
To live for me in the Okiyane-sea,
To serve me a goldfish
And I would have been on the parcels.
The old man did not dare to argue,
He did not dare to speak across the word.
Here he goes to the blue sea,
He sees a black storm on the sea:
So angry waves swelled,
So they walk, so they howl and howl.
He began to call the goldfish.
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
“Have mercy, empress fish!
What am I to do with the damn woman?
She doesn't want to be queen
Wants to be the mistress of the sea;
To live for her in the Okiyane-sea,
For you to serve her
And she would have been on the parcels.
The fish didn't say anything.
Just splashed her tail on the water
And she went into the deep sea.
For a long time by the sea he waited for an answer,
I did not wait, I returned to the old woman -
Look: again in front of him is a dugout;
On the threshold sits his old woman,
And in front of her is a broken trough.
An old man lived with his old woman
By the very blue sea;
They lived in a dilapidated dugout
Exactly thirty years and three years.
The old man was fishing with a net,
The old woman was spinning her yarn.
Once he threw a net into the sea, -

With a difficult fish - gold.
How a goldfish begs
He says in a human voice:
“Let me go, old man, into the sea,
Dear for myself, I will give a ransom:
I'll buy whatever you want."
The old man was surprised, frightened:

(The blue sea is clouded)
He began to call a goldfish,
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:

The old man went to the blue sea
(Restless blue sea);
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:

In the summer of 1831, A.S. Pushkin moved to live from Moscow to St. Petersburg - to Tsarskoe Selo, where he spent his teenage years. The poet settled in a modest village house with a balcony and a mezzanine. On the mezzanine, he arranged a study for himself: there was a large round table, a sofa, and books on the shelves. A picturesque view of the Tsarskoye Selo park opened from the windows of the office.
The poet again found himself "in the circle of sweet memories." In Tsarskoe Selo, after many years of separation, Pushkin met with the poet V.A. Zhukovsky. In the evenings, talking about art, they wandered around the lake for a long time ... On one of these days, the poets decided to arrange a competition - who better write a fairy tale in verse. V.A. Zhukovsky opted for a fairy tale about Tsar Berendey, and Pushkin undertook to write a fairy tale about Tsar Saltan.
... That same evening, after a conversation with Zhukovsky, Pushkin set to work on fairy tales. The work progressed rapidly. One after another, wonderful poetic lines lay down on paper:
Three maidens by the window
Were spinning late in the evening.
At the end of August, The Tale of Tsar Saltan was completed. Then the poet read it to his friends. By unanimous opinion, Pushkin became the winner of this unusual tournament of two famous poets.
A few days later, as if inspired by the success of "Tsar Saltan", the poet begins work on another fairy tale - "About the priest and his worker Balda." This Pushkin's fairy tale is cunning, there is a lot of unsaid, unsaid in it, just like in those fairy tales that I heard in Mikhailovskaya exile from kalik passersby ...
During the days of his work on The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda, Pushkin was often mentally transported to his beloved Mikhailovskoye, recalled the noisy rural fairs that stretched out under the walls of the Svyatogorsky Monastery. The fair is beautiful: everywhere you look, carts with goods, booths, painted carousels spin, swings take off, laughter rings, songs sound. And a little to the side, sitting right on the grass, wanderers and kaliks passers-by tell marvelous tales. The hero of these tales is a dexterous, savvy peasant, and a rich man is always fooled - a merchant, landowner or priest.
It is not a sin to leave a greedy and stupid priest in the cold. He doesn’t sow pop, doesn’t plow, but eats for seven, and even chuckles at the peasant, almost calling him a bastard to his face ...
Pushkin called his hero just that - Balda. The guy is not a miss this Balda, he will circle the devil himself. Where the ass can compete with a smart peasant, you will obviously have to pay for your self-interest with your forehead. As soon as the priest thinks about it, a cold sweat breaks through him ... It's good that the priest advised to send Balda to hell for quitrent. But the priest rejoiced in vain, yet he had to pay for his greed and stupidity...
Pushkin's "The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda" was not published for a long time. Only after the death of the poet, with the assistance of V.A. Zhukovsky, she appeared in one of the magazines.
In the autumn of 1833, in Boldino, Pushkin wrote his third wonderful tale, The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish. On September 30, 1833, an old road tarantass drove into the wide yard of the grandfather's house. In the three years that have passed since Pushkin's first visit to Boldino, nothing has changed here. The oak palisade surrounding the house was still menacingly sticking out, huge gates towered ...
The poet spent six weeks in Boldino. Here he wrote two fairy tales - "The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs" and "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish".
The hero of Pushkin's "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" had little fun: for thirty-three years the old man was catching fish, and only once luck smiled at him - he brought a net of a goldfish. And in fact, this fish turned out to be golden: the fisherman got both a new house and a new trough ...
The finale of this philosophical tale is known to everyone, of course...
A.S. Pushkin wrote five poetic tales. Each of them is a treasure trove of poetry and wisdom.
B. Zabolotskikh
It will not be very easy to find a person who does not hear (even out of the corner of his ear) what the “Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish” tells about. After all, almost everyone gets to know her in childhood. When parents, grandparents read this work by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin to their beloved child at night, so that he falls asleep as soon as possible.
But do you understand the plot of this fairy tale correctly, do you correctly interpret its morality? The analysis of "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" will help to deal with this.
Author of the work
Of course, the analysis of "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" cannot be started without mentioning the author of this work, which is Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, a very popular Russian writer and poet. His work is equally loved by both adults and children. He has many fairy tales and children's stories, but no less serious (designed for an adult audience) works.
One only "Eugene Onegin" - his legendary novel in verse is worth something! After all, this story has been translated into many languages of the world. And two love letters from Tatyana to Onegin and his answer to the girl are considered one of the most romantic and tragic confessions in the world.
Pushkin was born in 1789 in June, the 6th. And he died in 1837, on February 10. The death of a literary genius happened as a result of an unsuccessful duel, where Alexander Sergeevich was wounded - fatally for that time.
During his short (by modern standards) life, Pushkin wrote countless poems, stories, articles, reflections, as well as many large works that still resonate in the hearts of people.
History of creation
The literary genius from childhood showed love for Russian folk art. The famous nanny of Pushkin, Arina Rodionovna, especially contributed to this. She told her ward fairy tales, and he, like any other child, listened to them with a special trepidation in his eyes, which happens, perhaps, only in smart children.
When Alexander Sergeevich grew up, he began to study Russian folklore on his own. Many researchers, Pushkinists believe that it was during this period that the writer had the first sketches of future fairy tales. And some time later, around the 30s of the XIX century, Pushkin began to write fairy tales known to us now.
The first of these were the works “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish” (an analysis of which is presented before you), as well as the tales “About the Pope and his worker Balda” and “About the Golden Cockerel”, etc.
The plot of the fairy tale
When writing the fairy tale about the Golden Fish, Pushkin set himself the task of showing the nationality of Russian literature. Therefore, this work is not only a light children's reading with a moral at the end. This is an example of life, the traditions of great Russia of those times, a demonstration of what ordinary peasants then believed in and how they lived.
However, an analysis of The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish will help you understand and understand that in fact the plot of this work is not based on Russian folklore. After all, the German brothers Grimm have "The Tale of the Fisherman and His Wife", which in its content is very reminiscent of the Russian creation of Pushkin.
But the work of Alexander Sergeevich saw the light in 1833, and the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm was presented to the readers in 1812.
Why Pushkin's fairy tale is more suitable for a children's audience
It's no secret that the original works of the Brothers Grimm are designed more for an adult audience. This perfectly proves the original, not yet adapted for children, content of the fairy tale about Little Red Riding Hood. After all, it is clearly erotic in nature! Reading such reading to a toddler at night or at any other time is completely unreasonable, and therefore many stories of the Brothers Grimm have been redone to suit the age category of readers.
Therefore, "The Tale of the Fisherman and His Wife" will not be as interesting to children as the usual plot of "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" (the psychological analysis of which is presented in the article).
Similarities between the fairy tales of Pushkin and the Brothers Grimm
The fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm begins in almost the same way, only the fisherman catches not the Golden Fish, but the magic flounder. And it is she who asks for a chic house, a wonderful castle, after which the grumpy wife (according to the usual scenario) begins to demand that the fish make her a queen, and then an empress (in Pushkin's fairy tale - "The Lady of the Sea").
Up to this point, everything seems to be familiar and similar, but further events (and the demands of the restless fisherman's wife continue, in contrast to Pushkin's interpretation) develop somewhat unexpectedly.
The fundamental difference between the two stories
The newly minted Empress in the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm, after some time, ceases to be satisfied with the new role. And she demands that the fish make her the pope. Goldfish agrees to this as well.
That's just this status also pleases the insatiable wife of a fisherman for a very short time. And finally, she announces her last demand, expressing her desire to become God.
General ending and moral
The patience of the fish reaches the limit, and it returns everything to normal. And before us again is a familiar picture: a poor fisherman with his insatiable wife sit in a broken hut and regret the past.
This work, as well as "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" (an analysis of Pushkin's work is given in this article), ends with morality. The main idea of both fairy tales is how important it is to learn to be content with what you have and not to demand too much.
main characters
Further analysis of the literary "Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" is impossible without studying the direct participants in the story. There are three of them in this story:
- old man;
- old woman;
- Gold fish.
There are few main characters. However, this does not interfere at all, and even, on the contrary, contributes to a better disclosure and subsequent memorization of the plot and its instructive thought.
Many researchers believe that the opposite images of an old man and an old woman embody a single person. Only the old man is his spirit, and the old woman is his body.
Religious overtones of the tale
Remember how many years Jesus Christ lived on earth? And how long did he live "an old man with his old woman at the very blue sea"?
"Exactly thirty years and three years". What is the magical time frame? And why did Pushkin choose such a figure for his story about the Golden Fish?
The Lord went through such a life path that prepared him for a special outcome. This artistic analysis of "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" shows that this is why the old man also lived for so many years before he first met the fish. After all, this meeting is a kind of test that determines the further development of the old man's life.
The image of an old man
Based on the name of the tale, its main character is an old man. In addition, the narrative of this work also begins with this character. Therefore, the analysis of The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish should examine him first of all the characters.
Religious teachings often talk about the triumph of the spirit over the flesh. Perhaps that is why an old man who has caught a goldfish is given a choice: eat it or let it go. Thus, to choose between the needs of the body and the triumph of the spirit (spiritual development). And the old man makes the right choice.
In addition, he releases the fish just like that, without asking for anything in return. It also demonstrates that the spirit of the old man is getting stronger.
The image of an old woman
The next figure to be touched upon by the psychological analysis of The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish is the old woman.
As you remember, after the old man has caught and released the fish again, he returns home. Where the spirit (old man) meets his body (old woman). Figuratively, this means that the mind fades into the background, giving way to emotions, for which pressing problems are of great importance. And then the process of rethinking what happened begins, on the basis of which desires and requirements arise.
Triumph of the flesh over the body
Further literary analysis of The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish shows that the old woman (emotions, body) completely suppressed the old man (mind, spirit). That is why he resignedly runs to the fish, asking him to fulfill all the desires and demands of his restless wife. And the fish, which in this tale personifies a higher power, ready to come to the rescue or repay what it deserves, does everything that the old woman asks.
Many researchers believe that in this way she continues to test the old man. Allows the spirit to change its mind and resist the desires of the body. But the old man does not even think about how to object even a word to the demands of the old woman.
This lasts as long as the desires of the body (the old woman) relate exclusively to material wealth. When they move to the spiritual sphere of life - the old woman wants the Golden Fish to make her the "Mistress of the Sea" (by Pushkin) or God (by the Brothers Grimm), the tests of the spirit (old man) stop. And he returns to the beginning of his journey.
Brief analysis of "Tales of the Fisherman and the Fish"
The most important thing to take away from the result of any human activity (it is not so important what it is: a work, a film, music, a picture, study, raising children, etc.) is its meaning.
Therefore, a brief analysis of the fairy tale analyzed in this article should directly relate to the meaning of this work, the impact that it had on people.
So, in the article it was already mentioned earlier that Pushkin wrote his works mainly for an adult audience. However, the kids immediately fell in love with the fairy tales that came out from the pen of Alexander Sergeevich. Although they understand them in their own way, in a childish way.
An analysis of The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish shows that the moral that the younger generation of readers see is that each person:
You shouldn't be greedy.
It is important to be happy with what you have.
Thank fate for her gifts.
To achieve everything on your own, because the gift received can be taken away at any time.
And adults, if they think a little about the content of the fairy tale analyzed in this article, will see that its true meaning is much greater:
The example of an old man, which personifies the spirit of a person, and an old woman, a body, forms an important idea that people should live not only by feelings, emotions and desires, but also by reason.
Unquestioning indulgence (behavior of the old man - spirit, mind) to one's own egoism (old woman - body, emotions), which is vividly demonstrated in this tale, has a devastating effect on a person.
A person's spirit should be of primary importance, because only spiritual riches really mean something in the world. Material goods are secondary, in most cases they are not able to make people happy. And their loss can literally leave a person with nothing.
The analysis carried out in the article clearly proves how important it is to read Russian fairy tales. After all, they are a real storehouse of wisdom!
Recently, comrades shared with me a link to an interesting video posted on the Internet. And this video did not leave me indifferent, prompting a keen interest in a deeper and more detailed analysis of the work mentioned in it, one of the most authoritative and greatest literary figures of the first third of the 19th century A.S. Pushkin, the tale "About the fisherman and the fish".
In turn, I want to note that the memories from my distant childhood about the first acquaintance with the works of the great author resonate in me with an incredible stream of bright and joyful feelings that give rise to a creative upsurge in the play of bright colors of imagination and attitude, as well as the need to expand my horizons. In those days, when I was still a child, I believed that Pushkin, apparently, was an excellent master of his craft and simply a talented person who could eloquently present a simple worldly truth. This, of course, is so, but it could not have occurred to me then that beyond the “simple worldly truth” the greatest author could lay the boundless depth of Knowledge. Knowledge that at different times was passed down from generation to generation, capable of revealing to people the secret of being in the eternal questions of all times and peoples about the meaning of human existence.
Having started her search by turning to the World Wide Web search engine with a question about the analysis of the above-mentioned work, she found a very impressive list of references with various interpretations from various authors: amateurs, historians, literary critics, scientists, the so-called “Pushkinists”, etc. What already makes think about how “a simple tale about a greedy old woman” could give rise to so many mind-boggling searches and different opinions. And the very history of the poet's life is riddled with very interesting facts and dots, which, in my opinion, deserves separate consideration, but not within the framework of this article.
So, I repeat that there are many interpretations of the fairy tale and, in fairness, it is worth noting that any opinion has a place to be. I would like to give my own analysis, built on the basis of the Primordial Knowledge set forth in the AllatRa book, authored by A. Novykh. Since it is in this book that the unified Knowledge that is present in human society at all times, in the form of various artifacts of ancient cultures (surviving to our time), scriptures, signs and symbols, is presented and carefully structured and compared. I also want to note that the vision below was formed in a group of like-minded comrades. For, as they say, one head is good, but our strength is in unity)) At the same time, we do not pretend to be the ultimate truth. Our point of view is just a guess. Therefore, I suggest that everyone plunge into the depths of a beautiful work together and try to see something more hidden behind a simple set of letters and symbols, and perhaps leave your understanding in the comments to the article, dear reader. Moreover, in our analysis, my comrades and I could simply not notice many subtleties. Maybe together and dig much deeper)) Well, let's go!
Let's start with the text of the tale itself:
An old man lived with his old woman
By the very blue sea;
They lived in a dilapidated dugout
Exactly thirty years and three years.
The old man was fishing with a net,
The old woman was spinning her yarn.
Once he threw a net into the sea, -
The net came with one slime.
He threw a seine another time,
A seine came with sea grass.
For the third time he threw a net, -
A seine came with one fish,
With a difficult fish - gold.
“Let me go, old man, into the sea,
Dear for myself, I will give a ransom:
I'll buy whatever you want."
The old man was surprised, frightened:
He fished for thirty years and three years
And I never heard the fish speak.
He released the goldfish
And he said to her a kind word:
“God be with you, goldfish!
I don't need your ransom;
Step into the blue sea
Walk there for yourself in the open."
The old man returned to the old woman,
He told her a great miracle.
“Today I caught a fish,
Goldfish, not simple;
In our opinion, the fish spoke,
The blue asked for a home in the sea,
Paid off at a high price:
I bought whatever I wanted.
I did not dare to take a ransom from her;
So he let her into the blue sea.
The old woman scolded the old man:
"You fool, you fool!
You did not know how to take a ransom from a fish!
If only you took a trough from her,
Ours is completely broken."
So he went to the blue sea;
He sees that the sea is slightly raging.
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
"Have mercy, sovereign fish,
My old woman scolded me
Does not give the old man peace:
She needs a new trough;
Ours is completely broken."
The goldfish replies:
You will have a new trough."
The old man returned to the old woman,
The old woman has a new trough.
The old woman scolds even more:
"You fool, you fool!
Begged, fool, trough!
Is there a lot of self-interest in the trough?
Come back, fool, you are to the fish;
Bow to her, ask for a hut already.
So he went to the blue sea,
(The blue sea is cloudy.)
He began to call a goldfish,
"What do you want, old man?"
“Have mercy, empress fish!
The old woman scolds even more,
Does not give the old man peace:
A grumpy woman asks for a hut.
The goldfish replies:
"Do not be sad, go with God,
So be it: you will already have a hut.
He went to his dugout,
And there is no trace of the dugout;
In front of him is a hut with a lamp,
With a brick, bleached pipe,
With oak, plank gates.
The old woman sits under the window,
On what light is the husband scolds.
"You fool, you straight-forward fool!
Begged, simpleton, a hut!
Come back, bow to the fish:
I don't want to be a black peasant
I want to be a noblewoman."
The old man went to the blue sea;
(The blue sea is not calm.)
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
“Have mercy, empress fish!
More than ever, the old woman freaked out,
Does not give the old man peace:
She doesn't want to be a peasant
Wants to be a pillar noblewoman.
The goldfish replies:
"Do not be sad, go with God."
The old man turned to the old woman.
What does he see? High tower.
On the porch stands his old woman
In an expensive sable shower jacket,
Brocade on the top of the kichka,
Pearls weighed down the neck,
On the hands of gold rings,
On her feet are red boots.
Before her are zealous servants;
She beats them, drags them by the chuprun.
The old man says to his old woman:
“Hello, mistress madam noblewoman!
Tea, now your darling is satisfied.
The old woman yelled at him
She sent him to serve at the stable.
Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman fumed even more:
Again he sends the old man to the fish.
“Come back, bow to the fish:
I don't want to be a pillar noblewoman,
And I want to be a free queen.
The old man was frightened, he begged:
“What are you, woman, overeating with henbane?
You can't step, you can't speak,
You will make the whole kingdom laugh."
The old woman got more angry,
She hit her husband on the cheek.
"How dare you, man, argue with me,
With me, a pillar noblewoman? -
Go to the sea, they tell you with honor,
If you don’t go, they will lead you involuntarily.”
The old man went to the sea
(The blue sea turned black.)
He began to call the goldfish.
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
“Have mercy, empress fish!
Again my old woman rebels:
She no longer wants to be a noblewoman,
Wants to be a free queen.
The goldfish replies:
“Do not be sad, go with God!
Good! the old woman will be queen!
The old man returned to the old woman.
Well? before him are the royal chambers.
In the wards he sees his old woman,
She sits at the table like a queen,
Boyars and nobles serve her,
They pour her overseas wines;
She eats a printed gingerbread;
Around her stands a formidable guard,
They hold axes on their shoulders.
As the old man saw, he was frightened!
He bowed at the feet of the old woman,
He said: “Hello, formidable queen!
Well, now your darling is satisfied.
The old woman did not look at him,
She only ordered him to be driven out of sight.
The boyars and nobles ran up,
They pushed the old man in.
And at the door, the guard ran up,
I almost chopped it off with axes.
And the people laughed at him:
“To serve you, old ignoramus!
Henceforth you, ignoramus, science:
Don't get in your sleigh!"
Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman fumed even more:
He sends courtiers for her husband,
They found the old man, brought him to her.
The old woman says to the old man:
“Come back, bow to the fish.
I don't want to be a free queen
I want to be the mistress of the sea,
To live for me in the Okiyane-sea,
To serve me a goldfish
And I would have been on the parcels.
The old man did not dare to argue,
He did not dare to speak across the word.
Here he goes to the blue sea,
He sees a black storm on the sea:
So angry waves swelled,
So they walk, so they howl and howl.
He began to call the goldfish.
A fish swam up to him and asked:
"What do you want, old man?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
“Have mercy, empress fish!
What am I to do with the damn woman?
She doesn't want to be queen
Wants to be the mistress of the sea;
To live for her in the Okiyane-sea,
For you to serve her
And she would have been on the parcels.
The fish didn't say anything.
Just splashed her tail on the water
And she went into the deep sea.
For a long time by the sea he waited for an answer,
I did not wait, I returned to the old woman -
Look: again in front of him is a dugout;
On the threshold sits his old woman,
And in front of her is a broken trough.
The work begins with a simple introduction, by analogy with many folk tales: “ An old man lived with his old woman". And it seems that there is, at first glance, nothing distinctive here, but, as noted in the video at the beginning, it would not be Pushkin! From the first lines, the author lets the inquisitive mind see a certain “Code”. So, we have - "old man" and "his old woman". And if we assume, thanks to the knowledge set forth in the ALLATRA book, that in this case the analogy of the “old man” with the concept Personalities in the design of man, and the "old woman" with Consciousness, then we can follow a very interesting chain.
They lived" By the blue sea". What is the sea, and even the bluest, while occupying one of the key roles in the fairy tale? It is worth noting that many legends and allegories of different peoples of the world are connected with the theme of water, the sea, the world ocean, where the theme of the world's waters often acts in analogy with the Spiritual world. What else I want to pay attention to is the “At” the sea highlighted by the author, which speaks of the immediate proximity to it. And if we continue to build a chain under the prism of Primordial knowledge, and consider the analogy with the construction of a person, in which we have already designated Personality and Consciousness as an old man and an old woman, then we can assume that in the analogy with the sea, in this case, we mean the Human Soul , as a part of the Spiritual world, where the Personality and Consciousness are in close proximity to it.
And returning to the color designation of the sea as “the bluest”, I would like to quote from the book “AllatRa”:
“... Moreover, it was this creative divine female incarnation that was characterized by a blue-green color. In the mythology of different peoples, he personified the elements of water and the feminine cosmic principle. This is a special color that indicates certain achievements in spiritual practices. I will talk about it in more detail a little later. And now I’ll just note that even in the traditional view of the Chinese, the green-blue section of the color spectrum is a single whole and is indicated by hieroglyphs that combine the meanings of “green” and “blue.” (p. 272)
“... Among the additional associative designations symbolizing it, there were sycamore as the “Tree of Life”, as well as symbols of eternal life - colors green and blue, which, as the legends said, she commanded. The latter is associated with encrypted knowledge about the wave nature of man and the moment of spiritual transformation..
Anastasia: Yes, these same colors are present, as already mentioned, in the designation of divine characters, which in different peoples embody the cosmic order, the waters of life, fertility, the Mother Progenitor, the creative divine power of the feminine. In the Christian religion, these colors are inherent in the Virgin. The same rhombus of the Burning Bush, in which the image of the Virgin Mary is placed, is also indicated in green or blue (blue) color. This suggests that the same basic knowledge was passed on from generation to generation, from people to people. By the way, there is such an old word "Glavka", which the ancient Greeks once borrowed for their mythology from the peoples who once lived in the current Slavic territories, as a designation of the creative power of the divine principle associated with water, which also commands "green and blue color." ” (p. 656)
Read on: “ They lived in a dilapidated dugout. Exactly thirty years and three years.” And if, from the above, the old man and the old woman are the Personality and Consciousness in the structure of a person, and the sea is the Soul, then it is logical to assume that the “dilapidated dugout” in which they lived is a vessel, the material body of a person. Moreover, the Soul, like the sea, does not fit into it (figuratively), it is boundless, we will not find it in a material body.
Further, in my opinion, there is a very interesting clarification, indicating the age of the heroes mentioned above - “ exactly thirty years and three years". At least from history, we know that this is not a simple figure - the age of Christ. But it is worth noting that an impressive part of Russian folk tales, like sacred numerology itself, has much more ancient roots, unlike Christianity as a religion. Perhaps the comparison with the age of Christ is chosen here not by chance, but more symbolically. And it is also possible that the life of the old man, indicated in the fairy tale by such an interesting date, shows his summing up to some result of the spiritual content, in which he will have to choice.
It is also interesting to note with regards to the number 33 itself, that in the sacred sense it is quite interesting. But I will not delve into its interpretation for one simple reason, that there is simply not enough knowledge in this area.
Move on: " The old man was fishing with a net, the old woman was spinning her yarn.” Let's try to further trace the thread of the same Code, laid by the author, based on the analogy we have built. “ The old man was fishing with a net” - i.e. The Personality plunged into the Soul-Sea with the help of a seine-tool in order to catch a “fish”. And if the seine is a tool for immersion in the Soul, then we dare to assume that the Personality could perform either Spiritual practices (after all, practice is a tool), or prayers, or simply live in Dialogue with God, in the happiness of the present moment, earn the experience of “communication” with the soul, the spiritual world. What is a "fish" then? If we follow the same analogy, then in our vision it can be a spiritual power, an experience gained in contact with the Soul. The experience that we bring to life, applying it directly in the day. But we will return to this in more detail later on.
“The old woman was spinning her yarn”- spinning, yarn, spindle, thread - and with these analogies, in general, everything is very interesting. Here we also propose to turn to the source of primordial knowledge, the Allatra book:
“Rigden: I will note that in the Old Slavonic language the word “spindle” is connected with the word “twirl” (funnel, spiral movement). By the way, it was not only among the Slavs. The ancient Indian word "vartanam" also means "rotation". Since ancient times, the spindle has been considered in the spiritual sense as a magical tool, bestowed from above. That is, in modern terms, this is a conventional designation of the same prayer, meditation, spiritual practice. Spinning from threads with the help of a spindle was a certain spiritual symbol, which many peoples knew as the unity of "Earth and Sky", the unity of a person during his fleeting life with the spiritual heavenly beginning (Soul). The thread in religious art symbolized the spiritual life of a person, and in a global sense - a symbol of time, the connection of the past, present and future. It was a spiritual component that united everything that exists, like a thread that connects all pearls (souls) together. Among many ancient peoples, the “Great Mother” was just depicted with a spinning wheel in her hands.”
But it turns out that if the yarn was spun by an old woman, i.e. Consciousness, then how can one assume that with the help of Consciousness as a tool, the Personality could study its structure, the spiritual world, knowledge about it. After all, the same prayer or meditation (I note that it is NOT a spiritual practice) is initially performed with the help of consciousness, these are like the first steps on the path of spiritual development.
Then we return again to the seine and the story of how the old man threw it into the sea. First time - " A seine came with one slime", second time - " with sea grass", well, for the third time -" with a difficult fish - gold". It is also interesting that many authors also noticed in their interpretations of the analysis of the tale that the old man cast the net exactly three times, and not one, for example, or five ... The number three is also quite difficult in the sacred sense, and it can be interpreted under different angles of understanding. Here is the three-dimensionality of the material world, in which we have been from birth, and the trinity ... Therefore, in my opinion, it is difficult to give a specific interpretation here, and maybe not necessary.
As for mud and sea grass, my comrades and I came up with an analogy that it could be like purification. Cleansing from the “mud” of the three-dimensional material world. And also, as an option, from my own experience with the spiritual Practices described in the books of A. Novykh, there is an understanding that each time, performing the Practice, it proceeds in a new way, but this is if it is performed by the Spirit , disidentified with the concept of body and consciousness. And it also happens that it is called from the category of “sat down to think”, when attention gets stuck in mind games and the whole “Practice” goes on at the level of consciousness and bare representation, and sometimes even in a useless struggle, trying to switch attention from obsessive thoughts. And here you can also draw an analogy in the described experiment with “getting mud”.
But then let's pay attention to the fish, not a simple fish - a gold one! Who is she - this fish, or WHAT? Frankly, here our opinions with friends are a little divided. Someone shared an analogy that perhaps a fish is the Soul, as part of the Spiritual world - the sea. A slightly different understanding is closer to me, that under the image of the “golden fish” there may be an understanding of the SPIRITUAL FORCE, or as it was called from ancient times - “the power of Allat” (more details can be found in the book “ALLATRA”). After all, this is the power that is given to us to achieve the main Goal, for the sake of which a person comes to this world - the merging of the Personality with the Soul. And… which is “building” for all the matter around us, transforming into “ anti-allat”, at the moment of directing the attention of the Personality to the achievement of material goals. And, what is interesting, relying further on the Primordial knowledge and delving into the description of the structure of a person, we recall that the flow of the power of Allat constantly flows from the Soul to the Personality, and it passes through a certain channel, called the “silver thread” since ancient times.
What we have - the old man (Personality) caught a fish in the sea (Soul) with a net. And here, having again returned to the image of a seine, we came up with another analogy, which, in fact, is a seine and looks like the same “silver thread”, a connecting link. I don’t know how close this understanding is to the idea laid down by the author, but everything can be))
Another, in my opinion, interesting point is that in the description of the concept of the powers of Allat, in the book “ALLATRA”, we can see that Allat: “in mythology, the Mother of all things, the creative divine feminine principle, the creative, vital , Mother bird, the will of God, the power of God's thought. Key moment - feminine. And after all, our fish in a fairy tale is presented in the same way in the form of a creative feminine principle. Yes, and remember how the author illustrated the old man’s simple appeal to the fish against the background of the whole work, as he calls it: “ Empress fish”.
Further in the text: “ How the goldfish will beg! He says in a human voice: “You, elder, let me go to the sea, I’ll pay off dearly for myself: I’ll pay off whatever you want". So, returning to the description of the structure of a person based on the Primordial Knowledge, we mentioned above that the flow of Allat forces constantly flows from the Soul to the Personality through a silver thread, and the task of the Personality is to return this flow back to the Soul. And in these lines we saw a similar analogy, like a fish asking to go back to the sea, to the Soul. And here is just the moment of choice for the Personality - where to direct the spiritual power? Back to the Soul (in the sea) or to achieve external material goals?
“The old man was surprised, frightened: he fished for thirty years and three years and did not hear the fish speak.” Considering that throughout the tale we observe that in each verbal turnover the author has a much deeper meaning than literal perception, it is logical to assume here that phrases, in particular “the fish spoke”, act in the form of figurative transmission. And, turning again to the Aboriginal knowledge, I recall the mention of the “living language” from the program “Unity” on the Allatra TV channel. What is this living language? Dialogue with God... I think that everyone who has felt Him at least once understands what is at stake. It is the language of deep feelings. So maybe this “language” was opened to the old person-personality, feelings were opened, he felt a spiritual surge ... And what we see - “scared”, “surprised” ... Familiar? This question is again addressed to those who have experience of being in Spiritual practice. There is also a mention of the already familiar figure 33.
And again, let's return to the moment of choice that the old man (Personality) makes. And initially this choice is made by him in favor of the Soul and the Spiritual world, he releases the fish with the words: “ God be with you, goldfish! I don't need your ransom; step into the blue sea, walk there for yourself in the open”.
And what we see next: The old man returned to the old woman, told her a great miracle.” It turns out that the Personality turned to the Consciousness after contact with the Spiritual World and began to discuss the experience gained with the consciousness and consult with it. But, as we know from the Primordial knowledge, consciousness is limited by three-dimensionality and everything that concerns the Spiritual world is unknown to it! And what is unknown - causes a desire to subjugate, enslave, use for one's own purposes - these are the laws of the animal world, the material world. And so it happened: The old woman scolded the old man: “You fool, you simpleton! You did not know how to take a ransom from a fish! Even if you took a trough from her, ours completely split»». It starts with what - “the old woman scolded the old man” - the Consciousness turned on, began to throw doubts and dictate its conditions, and the Personality listens to him! And the trough here acts as a symbol of matter, material goods, while in the words of the Consciousness there is a moment of justification for the Personality - “ ours is completely broken". Everything starts small...
I would like to emphasize one more point. It is visible from the first lines and stretches through the entire narrative of the tale. Only an old man goes to the sea, an old woman has never gone there... But from the Primordial Knowledge we know that only the Personality has a connection with the spiritual world, Consciousness has no access there, simply because it has a completely different nature - limited, material. So it turns out that the Consciousness (the old woman) only dictated to the Personality (the old man) what to do, and the personality obediently listened and obeyed. In other words, she made a choice to listen and obey her Consciousness.
And further in the tale it is just shown how the old man (Personality) changes his initial decision (not to be seduced by the power of God for his own benefit, but to let her go back to the “sea”). And it is interesting and indicative that this choice was made by the Personality on its own, when it did not listen to its Consciousness.
So he went to the blue sea; sees - the sea is slightly played out.” Pay attention to how the sea behaves over the course of the tale as the old man comes to him with various requests. We will return to this in more detail.
And what do we see initially, at the first appeal of the old man to the fish with a request: “ Have mercy, madam fish, my old woman scolded me, does not give the old man peace". The old woman scolded, does not give peace… The description of the work of the Consciousness, its “techniques” can be traced very precisely here. At the same time, the old man, turning to the fish, may initially see in this some kind of “salvation”, that, having once asked and fulfilled the obsessive request of his Consciousness, he will find peace and Consciousness will calm down .... But, as we know (and from our own experience) Consciousness is the biggest liar! And no matter how we “pay off” from his attacks, tricks, no matter how much we listen to him, he will always be not enough. And indulgences only irritate him. What, in fact, is further illustrated in the text of the tale ... But more on that later.
In the meantime, what does the fish answer the old man: “ Do not be sad, go with God, you will have a new trough". First, from the words “do not be sad,” we can conclude that the old man is not happy at all! There is no happiness in this, he pleases his Consciousness, but at the same time he does not experience happiness, the Personality is depressed, in sadness. And this moment can also be traced throughout the tale and the old man's campaigns to the sea. Further: “Go with GOD!” And here I would like to quote from my favorite book “AllatRa” (p. 777):
“But the Love of God does not leave a person even when he forgets about it. God never leaves a person, for His Love, thanks to the Soul, is always with him. However, a person does not always want to accept this eternal Love and often puts aside its innermost knowledge for “later”, guided by momentary, temporal desires of mortal matter. But a person does not have this “later”, there is only “here and now”, in which true movement and choice take place. You just have to open up and trust God. Don't waste your precious life time."
And one more important point in the words of the fish: “ you will have a new trough". In my opinion, these words show freedom of choice. If you want it, it's your choice, it will be according to you ... And the words in the above quote from the book only emphasizes this, that even at such moments when a person is exchanged for temporary momentary desires, God is always with him. And freedom of choice is the most valuable gift given by God to each of us. And only through our conscious choice can we return to Him.
Well, what do we see next: “ The old woman has a new trough, the old woman scolds even more". Just what we mentioned above is the mechanism of the work of Consciousness, insatiability. Further more. At the same time, having achieved the fulfillment of a desire once, seeing that it works, the consciousness asks for more. And justifies it by the fact for the Personality that: “ is there a lot of self-interest in the trough?". It seems like - it's a "trifle" ...
- trough;
- hut;
- to be a pillar noblewoman;
- be at will queen...
For now, let's dwell on this list and consider the rest of the "needs" of the old woman after some analysis.
Well, firstly, from the above list, my comrades and I noticed several root patterns of the work of the Consciousness:
- survival;
- reproduction;
- domination.
Let me explain. We associate a trough with “survival”, as a symbol of some material goods necessary for existence. The “breeding” pattern is not expressed literally here, but we saw it in the moment of working on the body, “pumping” it. Since at the beginning of the article we designated the “dilapidated dugout” with the body, then with the course of the narration in the fairy tale and as the old woman desires, the “dilapidated dugout” initially turns into a “hut with a light room”, and then already into a tower, and into the royal chambers, seeing off the most external “upgrade”. Well, the moment of domination is very clearly shown by the growing thirst for power in the old woman.
Another moment - the old man no longer throws a net .. He does not catch fish, as it was said at the beginning of the tale (“the old man was catching fish with a net ...”). And, if we follow the analogy that we initially laid with the image of the net, then we can assume that it shows that the old man no longer uses the tools to work on himself, he does not pray, he does not practice, he does not gain new experience .. But he only uses and spends the power that he acquired with the image of a fish.
But let's get back to the description of the dominance and thirst for power of the old woman. At the moment when the old woman becomes a “pillar noblewoman”, what the old man saw when he returned to her: “ in front of her are zealous servants; she beats them, drags them by the chuprun". An interesting mention of servants, which led me and my comrades to some thoughts about who might be the servants of Consciousness? We know that Consciousness is a demon, and the thoughts that we endow with the power of our attention become demon programs, templates… You can call them whatever you like. Perhaps such “demons” are the servants of the Consciousness. But this is only our next assumption in the framework of the above analysis.
We also note the moment described by the author of how the old woman “thanked” the old man when, returning from the fish, he met her in the guise of a noblewoman: “ The old woman shouted at him, sent him to serve in the stable". For the achievement of the next “hochushka” the Consciousness sent the Personality “to serve in the stable”, as a sign of the complete dominance of the Consciousness and the enslavement of the Personality. At the same time, for his next desire, when the old man tries to “reason” her and stop her: “ The old man was frightened, he prayed: “What are you, a woman, overeating with henbane?”, she answers already with threats:“ Go to the sea, they tell you with honor, if you don’t go, they will inevitably lead". An important point that also prompted another reflection... Namely, I remembered the description of the life story of A. Hitler and the historical events of the Second World War, given in A. Novykh’s book “Sensei IV”, from which I would like to quote the following:
“Hitler knew this especially well. Even though he represented “unsurpassed power” in the eyes of ordinary people, he actually understood well that his power compared to the real power that the elite of the Green Dragon Order possessed was nothing. He himself, since childhood, had to deal with the manifestation of occult forces, which simply frightened with the mystery and power of their influence. Hitler witnessed the action of these "invisible" forces during his rise to power. He saw the occult practice of the Order of the Green Dragon in action, when assassination attempts were repeatedly made on Hitler and he, in an inexplicable way for ordinary people, got out of these situations alive and unharmed. He knew how controlled his actions were. But only an even greater force could resist this invisible force of real power, which, according to the ancient sources of different peoples, was either in Shambhala or in what people later called the Grail. Therefore, both Hitler and Stalin were so intensely engaged in their search ... Hitler was especially zealous. In general, he cherished the dream not only to escape from the power of the Archons, but also to take the place of the 13th himself in order to gain that full-fledged power over the world that he had, live forever and rule forever.”
Comparing the descriptions from the above quote with the threats of the old woman, the conclusions arise that we can talk about magic, and at the same time to a rather serious and in-depth degree. But I will not delve into sophistication, because here it can be interpreted in different ways, and again - is it worth it ...
And the old woman’s further desire: “ I don't want to be a pillar noblewoman, but I want to be free queen ". In the text, it was not in vain that I singled out the phrase “free queen”, a painfully familiar phrase. Returning to history, as well as the above quote about A. Hitler and the mention in it of his dream to take the place of the 13th Archon, I recall another layer of information described in the books of A. Novykh - about the history of the emergence of the Archon clan and such a large-scale and significant for them, a secret society, like “freemasons” (more on this can be found in the book by A. Novykh “Sensei IV”).
Well, the further, the more interesting ... And I experienced no small surprise when, analyzing information on the Internet, in interpretations of the fairy tale by different authors and the life story of the poet, I came across information that the original version was found in Pushkin's drafts fairy tales “about the fisherman and the fish”, part of which was eventually not included in the published text. And that in “Mr. Public Library of the USSR. Lenin in Moscow, a draft text is kept. In addition to numerous discrepancies, this draft contains one episode that is completely absent in the final text of the tale. It was first read and published by S. M. Bondi in his book New Pages of Pushkin (M., 1931)” (https://www.proza.ru/2013/04/18/1574):
"Another week goes by
His old woman was furious again:
I ordered to find the man.
They bring the old man to the queen.
The old woman says to the old man:
I do not want to be a free queen
BUT I want to be the pope
The old man did not dare to argue.
He did not dare to say a word across.
He went to the blue sea
Sees: stormy black sea
That's how angry waves go
So they howl howl sinister
He began to call the golden fish
Good will she be the pope
The old man returned to the old woman
In front of him is a Latin monastery
On the walls [Latin] monks
They sing the Latin mass.
In front of him is the Tower of Babel
At the very top at the crown
Sits his old old woman
The old woman is wearing a Sarochinsky hat
Latin crown on the cap
On the crown [inaudible] knitting needle
On the spoke [Strofilus] bird
The old man bowed to the old woman,
He shouted in a loud voice:
hello old lady
I tea your darling is satisfied
The stupid old woman answers:
You're lying, you're building an empty city,
My darling is not satisfied at all
I don't want to be the pope
And I want to be the mistress of the sea
To live me in Okiyane-sea
To serve [me] a goldfish
And I would have been on parcels ... ".
It is very interesting, considering that a lot of information is also given about the connection of the Pope with the Order of “Freemasons” and the clan of Archons in the books of A. Novykh (“Sensei IV”). For those who are interested in the details - books can be found on the net in the public domain.
And as part of our analysis, we will pay attention to the last wish of the old woman: “ I don’t want to be a free queen, I want to be the mistress of the sea, so that I can live in the Okiyane-sea, so that a goldfish serves me and is used on my parcels". As a result, the moment of apogee and finiteness of desires is shown - the desire for higher power, when the next final external goal is achieved, but there is no satisfaction from it, here the Consciousness wanted to have power over the spiritual power in the spiritual world. But as we know from the ALLATRA book, consciousness is limited by three-dimensionality and has a material nature, while the spiritual world is of a completely different nature (and the Personality is a part of it), and all matter was created by God - accordingly, how can it control it? The answer is no. And she has no access.
Whatever power a person achieves in the material world, and the highest power is power over himself ... And in the end, the old man lost the main thing - a golden fish, spiritual strength, wasting everything that she gave him on the whims of a grandmother-consciousness , which in the end was left with nothing, with the decay of matter, in the form of a broken trough.
Old woman - Consciousness experienced, old in the material world. And the Personality - according to earthly years, maybe an old man, but with childish naivety, inexperience. Got caught, believed the Consciousness, which specifically knows its desires. But in the material world everything is finite. All the illusions that had been built vanished. Very revealing here describes the whole essence of a quote from a fairy tale: “ henceforth you, ignorant, science: do not sit in your own sleigh!". Keyword - not in their. Spiritual - spiritual, material - material.
In continuation of the above, a quote from the book “Sensei II. Primordial Shambhala”:
“Excessive wealth does not lead to anything good. Well, a man spent years of his life, deceived a lot of people. Because honestly, you can't make a lot of money. Everything is based on deceit and lies. Well, the man made a lot of money. I do not mean honestly earned salaries, normal money for a living wage. This is small money. So, it worked. Looks, but there is no satisfaction. It turns out that something is missing. He understands that he needs power in order to conquer his own kind, so as not to show off himself, not to plant fleas from a deer on himself and thereby attract the attention of the whole pack, including the leader. And do not waste money, like that monkey with nuts, but seize this power, become the leader himself. This is how the leaders of parties, ruling structures, and states appear. They look, but there is little power. Then what do they go for? To take over the world. And wars, aggression, enslavement begin. This is how Napoleons, Stalins, Hitlers and the like are born. They seize territories, expand the borders of their state, but still do not receive satisfaction. Why? Because no matter what power a person has on Earth, he will never receive satisfaction from it, since he still remains a slave to his desires. And true power is power over yourself.
In the history of mankind there are many examples of the senselessness of such a path, such a global deception of the Animal. One of them is Alexander the Great - a man who realized his ambitions to the maximum. He conquered vast territories, creating the largest monarchy of antiquity. And what is the result? On the day when Alexander the Great became the "master of the world", he moved away from everyone and wept bitterly. When the commanders found him, they were surprised, as they had never seen their commander sobbing. And they were with him in the most difficult situations of military campaigns. Alexander was an example of courage. Even when death was very close to him, no one saw traces of despair and hopelessness on his face. Therefore, the military leaders were tormented by the question, what happened to the one who conquered entire nations? He was asked about this, and Alexander told them the reason for his sadness. It turns out that when he won, he realized that he had lost. And now he was in the very place where he conceived his "conquest of the world." It was only at that moment that he realized how pointless it all was. For before he had a goal and a path. And now he has nowhere to move, no one to conquer. And he said: "I feel a terrible emptiness inside me, for I have lost the main battle of my life."
Coming to the conclusion, I would like to return to the moment noted by us at the beginning of the article, about how the state of the once bluest sea changes, as the old man comes to him to fulfill the wishes of the grandmother: “ the sea was slightly raging; the blue sea was clouded; not calm blue sea; blackened the blue sea; there is a black storm on the sea, so angry waves swelled, so they walk, so they howl and howl". If the sea is the human soul, then what can cause turbidity, blackening, storms, waves and howls on its surface? Here it is very appropriate to quote from the AllatRa book:
“Rigden: Perhaps I will tell you about it in more detail. But you need to understand that all these processes occur at the energy level, so for a better perception, I will explain with figurative comparisons. So, subpersonalities are located near the Soul, they can be represented... as "intelligent" nebulae. On the one hand, they are close to the Soul and experience the influence of this very strong anti-material structure, so to speak, the proximity of the "breath of Eternity", "the presence of a particle from the world of God." On the other hand, subpersonalities experience a strong influence and pressure from dense material structures of the Animal nature. That is, subpersonalities are in a squeezed state between two powerful forces of the spiritual and material worlds. They constantly experience this incredible pressure from both sides. So, each subpersonality becomes a kind of "light filter" on the way of realizing the connection of the current Personality with the Soul. The degree of "darkening" of such a "light filter-subpersonality" depends on the dominant life choices, preferences, sensual-emotional priorities accumulated in her former life.
… The way these subpersonalities feel in the new Personality is, in the language of religion, a real “hell” for them. After the death of the body, the Personality, which becomes a subpersonality, acquires its own experience and understanding of what the material world really is, what the Soul is and what is its importance in a human being. But in the construction of a new body, the subpersonality is already in a desperate position of a shackled mind, which understands everything, experiences strong sensory-emotional pain, but cannot do anything, including transferring its experience to a new Personality. This is tantamount to the fact that you are locked in the body, but this body does not serve your consciousness, it does not obey and does not do what you order it to. That is, it does not serve you at all, it lives spontaneously. And you are aware of all this, but you can’t do anything, you just feel incredibly terrible pressure, again repeating the same mistakes of the new Personality and understanding your powerlessness to change the direction of the vector of vital energy consumption.”
From this we can assume that at the moment when the old man (Personality) made a choice in favor of the grandmother’s temporary illusory desires, his subpersonalities experienced terrible pain, which is illustrated by the author with images that occur on the surface of the blue sea itself ...
And in conclusion, I would like to note that the old man (Personality), although he ended up with a grandmother with a broken trough, but the chance for him was not lost. A chance to make the main choice and gain eternal life, get out of the chain of rebirth. The chance that every person has while he is alive, while he is in the body. And for this, the old man has all the tools left - he has a net, his body remains: “again in front of him is a dugout”, Consciousness remains: “his old woman is standing on the threshold” and everything that is needed for life, in the form of a trough. Experience left! And after all, the fish did not answer, only went into the deep sea. And that means there is a chance.
