There is nothing surprising in the fact that the culture of any people includes a number of cosmogonic myths, to one degree or another reflecting the structure of the Universe. In this sense, reality is most often divided into peculiar "layers", which are determined by a whole range of characteristic features. The layers interact and the entities move from one to another, figuratively speaking, changing their "state of aggregation". The simplest example is the earthly world, heaven and hell (Christian version).
For the Slavs, hell, heaven, purgatory and other concepts of this series simply did not exist. As in the Old Norse esotericism, among the Slavs, heaven, hell and other heaps of maximally metaphorized and absolutely unrealistic descriptions are replaced by quite adequate toposes. And here it is very important to understand that, in particular, Nav is not a Slavic hell, and Rule is not a Slavic paradise. Here we are talking about fundamentally different categories, because our Ancestors never divided the world into “black” and “white”, absolutely clearly understanding how complex and diverse the Universe is.
Let's start with a baseline. Reality among the Slavs is a three-dimensional world, if it will be easier - the physical, Platonic world of things. The most obvious analogy is Midgard among the ancient Scandinavians, although it is known that many East Slavic tribes, in particular, the tribes that inhabited the Baltic coast, also used this concept. But in the context of the subject matter of this material, something else is important. It is important that the concept of "Reality" among the Slavs quite obviously came from the word "explicit", that is, "visible" or "visible", although in modern Slavic esoteric teachings a different approach is adopted, the opposite: the word "explicit" and its derivatives etymologically derived from the concept of "reality". How fair this is is another question, it is important that the concept itself exists and its meaning is unambiguous. The reality among the Slavs was that layer of reality in which we all, people, in our present,After death (change of the dimensional body), in accordance with the beliefs of our Ancestors, a person changes the layer of being, passes into another reality with a greater or lesser number of dimensions (or we can talk about worlds vibrating with higher or lower frequencies) …
So, after physical death, a person in any case (and this is important) ends up in Nav. Nav among the Slavs is, as we would now seem, the afterlife. But this concept has no negative connotation, it is neutral, and its closest analogy is Duat, the afterlife from ancient Egyptian mythology. That is, among the Slavs, in fact, the Universe was divided into two layers - Reality and Nav, the world of the living and the world of the dead, who changed their physical body to another. Right among the Slavs it has never been an independent world or a separate layer of reality, this is very important, because today many are mistaken on this score. In fact, Nav (that is, as we already know, the afterlife, in the literal sense) is divided into two "levels" or dimensions - this is Dark Nav (or simply Nav) and Light Nav (aka Rule). According to legend, initially all Nav was Light,that is, the concepts Nav and Prav had the same meaning. But then Chernobog, as a result of, let's say, some manipulations (this is the topic of another material) created Dark Nav, which was inhabited (by itself) with different low-frequency entities. This is anger, hatred and sorrow of people, concentrated and embodied. In addition, people who did not find rest during their lifetime, or those whose life was objectively unrighteous, fall into Dark Nav. In this sense, the Slavs were quite simple: honor the Ancestors and live according to conscience. These are two principles that make up a righteous life. Everything else - murder, theft and further down the list - are just actions performed by a person depending on the circumstances and in accordance with conscience (our Ancestors had more than one conscience, they distinguished between personal and Universal conscience, that is, the basis, the core of being).let's say, some manipulations (this is a topic for another material) created the Dark Nav, which was inhabited (by itself) with different low-frequency entities.

Rule among the Slavs was considered a place where gods (ases) and righteous people live. It is important to note that the Rule had seven levels (seven heavens), the gods lived only on the fourth. This is a rather curious remark that makes a person with a lively, inquiring mind think. Similar questions arise when reading the Edda (either one or the other), in particular when Utgard is mentioned.
Thus, among the Slavs, Yav, Nav and Prav in the aggregate represented a clearly defined system of the universe. There was no place for tortured sinners and other heresies, because in Dark Navi, in a dead world in which there is neither sun nor life energy, human existence becomes a punishment in itself. Therefore, such concepts as "Slavic hell" or "Slavic paradise" look so stupid and low that only an extremely ignorant person can use them. And here we can note one more nuance that distinguishes the Slavic "world order" from, for example, the Christian one. For Christians, hell and heaven are the final destinations, that is, once you get to any of these places, you can no longer get out of it. Among the Slavs, Nav (and, of course, Prav, the organic part of Nav) often intersect with Reality, the earthly world, and not only in terms of mythological subjects. The point is that the desire and the embodied intention of a person determine his existence in any world. Rule - not the limit, at least, our Ancestors knew only four "heavens" of this world, out of seven. Nav is a reflection of the Rule, with its own gradation, with its own hierarchy, but “in the other direction”, with a minus sign. And when performing certain actions, an entity, in particular a person, could well change the dimension (the world, the layer of the Universe). All this is really important, because it helps to more fully and more deeply understand the culture of our Ancestors, to realize its forerunners and fundamental principles, to accept it as it really is, and not as it is presented to us.
