As dear readers have already understood, this article will focus on one of the most mysterious properties of the human psyche, namely the phenomenon of faith. No, the author is not going to encroach on the "holy of holies" of the consumer society - freedom of religious belief. This serious topic, perhaps, will be given attention in a separate article, although, strictly speaking, there are very few fundamental differences between religious faith and any other. Now we will touch upon the concept of faith only in the generally recognized sense, that is, at the everyday, psychological and behavioral level. In this case, the expression: "blessed is he who believes" has an ironic connotation and denotes people who are unreasonably and overly trusting, or those who are in vain in dreams of their bright plans and great hopes. So believe or not believe? If you believethen to whom? What consequences await a person if the source of faith is wrongly chosen? These and other important issues related to the concept of "faith" will be discussed below. So, let's begin…

One of the heroes of the film “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, based on the work of the same name by Yu. Semyonov, once said a very topical and instructive phrase: “Today you cannot trust anyone, even yourself. I can!" What do you think he meant? What reason did he have to say so? But these words were spoken nearly 80 years ago. It turns out that people from time immemorial are subject to this kind of mental "disorder", ie, the ability to believe. Some of them need faith for complacency, confidence in their strengths and tomorrow, others for control and management of the first. Psycho-physical symptoms of the "disease" are almost always unchanged and consist of the following local gradations:

  • interest in the object or subject of faith;
  • distinguishing him from the mass of other interests;
  • idealization of the source of faith;
  • rejection of past faith and revision of their inner convictions;
  • admiration for the source of faith and admiration for it at the subconscious level;
  • exaltation of the object or subject of a new faith;
  • deification of the source of the new faith up to fanaticism and exaltation;

Do we need this kind of faith and is it not the trap used by dishonest people to deceive gullible relatives? Yes and no. Faith is necessary for any normal person, because without it he cannot live in society. It is the equivalent of such a concept as trust, without which relationships with friends, relatives and acquaintances are impossible. Human feelings such as love, friendship and respect are based on trust. Another question is who and what to believe?

In childhood, we all loved to listen to fairy tales about Good, which always triumphs over Evil. About brave Warriors who invariably drive away snake-like reptilian reptiles, about Miracles and their material embodiment in the form of untold treasures scattered under our feet, lined with free treats of self-assembled tablecloths, anti-gravity carpets-airplanes, self-propelled stoves according to our desire without any desire of Russian -Horbunkov. Listening to my mother's quiet voice, we fell asleep sweetly and saw serene dreams in which life seemed simple and happy, and the world around us seemed kind and fair. And we believed fairy tales, believed in this world filled with Good. They believed in miracles and good Wizards. For the time being, children's fairy tales helped us feel like almighty little princes. After all, as soon as we said the magic word "I want"and the kind "gins" in the form of dad and mom immediately fulfilled any whim of their master.

But now the time has come for growing up and we gradually began to understand that the world around us is not that kind at all, and adults have their own far from harmless fairy tales. Their stories are almost always silly and harmful. They are stupid because adults often take their word for anyone, and harmful because gullible simpletons are always deceived. Sometimes people succumb to deception so much that they are ready to give up what is most precious for the sake of their blind faith. And the most precious thing for any person is his life. The biggest and irreparable mistake happens when a priceless human life serves as a small bargaining chip in the hands of clever political adventurers or social parasites who derive their personal benefit from deceiving believers (or believers). It doesn't matter at all whether such a monstrous deception occurs immediately or gradually. A wasted long lifededicated to an unfulfilled dream invented by someone is no better than a fleeting life voluntarily given up in battle for the same "idea - fix".

One gets the impression that we, the Russians, have taken upon ourselves the obligation to become the absolute world champions in the faith of every “beast”. Who are we not happy to believe? We believed and still believe in Christ the Savior, we believed in the good Tsar-Father, in smart Lenin, in the father of all nations - Stalin, Khrushchev's shirt-boy, in Brezhnev's defender of Malaya Zemlya, in a fighter with Yeltsin's privileges, in Putin's infallibility. They firmly believed in the Orthodox monarchy, in the genius of the Jews of Marx and Engels, in communism, democracy, social justice, the market, socialism, in liberal freedom of the individual, people's control and power with a human face. All these tossing ended with the fact that today we have the wildest in the world and essentially oligarchic, narrow-clan, totally corrupt capitalism. Stop, we've arrived. It's time to stop and think. As a result of our pathological credulity, we put several generations of our best compatriots on the scaffold of history, and ourselves were thrown to the sidelines of the main path of development of modern civilization. In just a hundred previous years of the history of our country, this is more than a hundred million lives given for false ideals and alien beliefs. Isn't it too high a price for our gullibility? Remember the song of the times of the revolutionary nightmares of the last century: - “We boldly go into battle. For the power of the Soviets. And, as one we will die, in the struggle for this! ". And they died. For someone's crazy ideas.given up for false ideals and alien beliefs. Isn't it too high a price for our gullibility?

Today we have a different, but surprisingly similar song: “We have one Victory for all. One for all - we will not stand for the price! " What is the victory, who won and at what cost? Today there are data that the total human losses of the USSR in the war of 1941-45 exceeded 47 million people. And from year to year we accompany this monstrous "holiday on the bones" of the dead with pompous parades and general jubilation. Yes, in the spring of 1945 it was a well-deserved holiday of that nation, the nation-winner. But today that people no longer exist, and the current generation has not yet achieved the moral right to consider itself a winner. The foregoing does not mean at all that one should forget about the historical date of May 9, 1945. It is only about renaming the Victory Day into a nationwide Day of Remembrance and Mourning.

It is profitable for the authorities to artificially support the "victoriousness" associated with the distant Victory Day on May 9. For her, this is one of the attributes of our faith in the former might of the former USSR. But what does the current government have to do with that victory, and even more so with the country that it destroyed? For what and for whom should we always die without fail? Has anyone ever wondered who we are and what country we live in now? Well, of course, they will tell me, of course we are Russians and live in Russia. Russians - who are they? There is no such nation in the world. Maybe Russians? Also no. First, Russian is an unworthy and even humiliating private definition for the Russians, not a noun. Try to address this way to a European, a proud Caucasian or any other representative of small nations, and I cannot vouch for your health. And secondly,do you have a record of this fact in your passport? Not. Then who are you? Nobody can call you. Eh, no, they will object to me. Our passport contains the address at the place of registration, as well as the name, patronymic and surname. Do not flatter yourself, these data are just auxiliary information for accounting in the consumer society.

I know what you will do now. You will proudly take it out of your “wide trousers” and show me your RF passport, which implies that you are the owner of this document, since it contains your full name, year of birth, series, number and other data. Thus, you are a conditional (because without clan and tribe) citizen of the Russian Federation or the Russian Federation. Notice a conditional citizen of the Russian Federation, not Russia. Now you will be surprised, but a country called Russia de jure does not exist either. To be convinced of what has been said, it is enough to look at the geopolitical map of the World or leaf through the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Russia exists only in the verbiage of the media, in your imagination and desire to believe patriotic slogans. What's the catch here? But what is …

The fact that our conditional country Russia today is in 147th place among other countries in terms of living standards does not bother our leaders. They are not embarrassed by the rate of extinction of the indigenous population of our country, slandered and torn by internal contradictions. We do not have a worthy goal in life, we do not have our own national idea, there is no inner conviction that we are protected from social, political and economic shocks. There is not even a national identity. It would seem, how much further, but no … We stubbornly and blindly believe in the "bright future" promised by someone and, headlong, run to the elections with a predetermined result. Why are we running there? Just like that, just in case. What if this time we are lucky and the political roulette fails. Will not give and will not be luckybecause the modern electronic electoral system is an elaborate mathematical model based on the principles of the theory of probability and pseudo-random processes. Try to beat the casino. To beat is to get a stable win for a certain period of time. I bet for a million dollars that you will not succeed, since the roulette wheel is based on the same mathematical criteria that are used in the system of counting votes in electronic voting.what are used in the system of counting votes for electronic voting.what are used in the system of counting votes for electronic voting.

I. V. Dzhugashvili (Stalin) also liked to say that the most important thing in elections is not who votes and how, but who and how counts the votes. Any automated control system (ACS) has its own program, that is, a machine control algorithm that can change at the will of the developer of this system. Have any of the readers seen the open code of the algorithm for the operation of the GAS Vybory system? Where are the laws and the corresponding guarantees that this algorithm cannot be changed in accordance with the wishes of some anonymous beneficiaries or officials? Alas, there are no such guarantees, but we continue to stubbornly believe in the game called: "Vote, or you will lose" and this despite the fact that we have long lost all our social gains, all civil liberties, guarantees, political achievements and all our National treasure. Is this not a pernicious bliss over the abyss? An abyss into which the country will inevitably collapse if it does not regain its face and lost self-consciousness.

Well, now that the readers are imbued with faith in the "bright future" awaiting all Russians, it's time to explain the most important thing - the reason for our gullibility. And it is as simple as the truth itself. Another one and a half thousand years ago, a coup d'etat took place in Russia, as a result of which an impostor, Vladimir "Red Sun", came to power. This henchman of the Vatican destroyed the Vedic foundations of the national identity of the ancient Russians and destroyed most of the country's indigenous population. Instead of a harmonious system of knowledge (namely, knowledge, and not blind faith) about the interaction of Man, Nature and Space, as well as the traditional Slavic-Aryan worldview of our wise ancestors, he forcibly forced the Russians to worship a foreign Christian religion. Russian priests (magi) cursed foreign inquisitors and the land before execution,desecrated by the invaders. They went to their bright Gods, but firmly promised to return to their homeland when obscurantism ceases in it. Since then, the Russians, deprived of their spiritual traditions, like the blind, are looking for their foothold in alien dogmas and teachings and cannot find it. And they will never find it because it is not there and cannot be. Salvation consists in abandoning other people's dogmas and creeds. It's time to return to your original Russian ancestral roots and traditions. So what to do, readers will ask - to believe or not to believe? I will answer with the words of the hero of the work of Yu. Semyonov: Today you cannot trust anyone, even yourself. I can!like the blind, they seek their fulcrum in alien dogmas and teachings and cannot find it. And they will never find it because it is not there and cannot be. Salvation consists in abandoning other people's dogmas and creeds. It's time to return to your original Russian ancestral roots and traditions.
