The ancestors of the Slavs knew very well what a person "consists" of. An ordinary collapsible nesting doll is an illustration of the human structure. The experts told why it consists of exactly 9 parts.
Everyone knows that a person is a multifaceted organism, consisting not only of a physical shell, but also of a spiritual and energy one. The researchers said that, according to the ancient Slavs, a person, like a nesting doll, consists of 9 bodies. So, the physical body, which is responsible for the movements and reproduction of a person, our ancestors called the Jave Body. He was followed by the Heat Body - an ethereal invisible shell surrounding each person. It, like a spacesuit, surrounds the human body, and can measure from 2 m to 20 km. Scientists even weighed it and announced that it weighs 5-7 g. After the death of a person, the Heat Body lives for several more days, it is he who is often mistaken for ghosts.
The third layer is the Navier Body or the astral shell. With the help of the astral body, during sleep, a person goes to the so-called world of the dead Navi, where he acquires superpowers that he can develop in the real world. The fourth layer is the Clube Body or intelligent (mental) body, which is fully formed by the age of 14. These three bodies perish after the death of a person. Researchers say that the tradition of commemorating on days 3.9 and 40 is not without reason, since Zharye Body perishes on day 3, Navier on day 9, Klubier on 40.
The fifth layer is the Causal Body - karma, which the Soul carries through the reincarnations. The sixth layer is Kolob'e Body or intuition. It is Kolob'e Body that is depicted on the halo of saints, since esotericists see it as a golden halo around the head of a person. Kolobie The body weakens when cutting or dyeing a person's vegetation, be it hair or beard.
The seventh sheath is Divye Body or Soul (Guardian). It can rise up to several hundred meters, depending on the purity of a person's karma, and is responsible for the karmic past. The eighth shell - Light Body - is the thinnest and lightest shell of a person. And, finally, the ninth sheath is Jiva - an individual particle of the Originally Light or the Lord's Spirit in every person. It is the last five shells that together make up the integral human Soul, which exists after the death of a person.
