AllatRa by Anastasia Novykh
Interestingly, in ancient times, the knowledge about such additional power was used in
magic rituals solely to provide spiritual assistance to a person, whereas now this
knowledge is either distorted or used in a negative way. Somehow people have forgotten
that this knowledge was given to them for the purpose of helping each other.
Anastasia: In some modern religions, there are rites of cutting hair. For instance, taking
monastic vows in Christianity, shaving off hair among Muslims who make pilgrimage to
Mecca, shaving heads in Buddhist monastic communities or shaving the front part of the
head among Chinese, Manchurians or Ainu as a sacrifice to God. What are these rituals
based on?
Rigden: All of them are already purely symbolic actions, which in religions are
interpreted as the final parting of a person with all of his past and his decision to serve
the given religion, which is regarded as “a sacrifice to God”. In reality, if externally a
person cuts or shaves his hair but does not change internally in quality, all this will still
remain pure symbolism. I repeat: it is not attributes, clothes or any outer distinctive
appearances that are important but it is his internal component. For example, the
cruciform cutting of hair or shaving the crown of the head or the forehead – this is
already a distorted transfer of knowledge, an interpretation of people themselves, a
purely symbolic external demonstration by a person of his connection with God, of his
procession along the spiritual path and his affiliation to this or that religion.
Anastasia: Well, people have their reasons to say that a person should not by judged by
appearance… Going back to the issue of helical forms in micro- and macrocosm, I
remembered that the motion of the electron in the magnetic field, which is constant in
time, is also helical.
Rigden: Many natural phenomena are connected with such a motion. Note the largescale
natural phenomena, such as, for example, air cyclones, anticyclones, giant ocean
whirlpools (the so-called rings, whose centre may be located dozens of metres below the
ocean level), regions of spiral turbulence, generations of spiral waves and so on, the
helical structure and the motion of macro-objects, for instance, galaxies.
