Ancient scientists were convinced that life on Earth directly depends on the energies of space, which periodically change their character.
We know from our own experience that our world is filled with rhythms: rhythms of the heart and respiration, daily, monthly, annual. They are associated with the rotation of the Earth, with the Moon and the Sun. We also guess about longer periods - 7 and 12 years. And history also hints at a century: materialism and rationalism, which dominate in the middle of each century, are replaced with a mysterious regularity by romanticism and mystical moods at the turn of the century.
Five hundred year rhythms are associated with the Great Parades of the Planets - once every 480-500 years, the planets of the Solar System accumulate on one side of our star, summing up their impact. And each time this event marks a turning point in the history of mankind. Such a parade lasts only a few years, but it releases the hidden forces accumulated by humanity and, as it were, programs the fate of our civilization for five centuries ahead.
The era of extremes
The ancients were convinced that there are even longer cycles - the so-called eras. According to the ancient tradition, they alternate like inhalation and exhalation: active is replaced by passive. If you pay attention to the ideas of ancestors, you will notice that passive eras are characterized by “feminine” qualities: self-deepening, passive perception of the world, attempts to unite (synthesis). Humanity perceives the world as a given and is trying not so much to remake it as to comprehend and adapt. But in the active era (analysis) dominated by "masculine" traits: the desire to actively influence the world around, destroy, dismember, transform, rebuild everything and everyone.
One of the first "female" epochs in the history of mankind was the Gemini era, 7-5th millennium BC. Its result is the emergence of writing, which made it possible to communicate at a distance, preserve and combine knowledge. It was replaced by the "male" era of Taurus (5-3 millennium BC), the era of the primary development of nature. The era of analysis loses its supply of energy over time, and it is replaced by another attempt at synthesis. The "female" era of Aries (3-1 millennium BC) is the time of a synthetic view of the world. Mathematics and poetry, astronomy and medicine, art and religion - everything in this era was perceived as something whole and was united by the concept of "philosophy".
But humanity went forward, accumulating knowledge. And even the most universal genius could no longer be a specialist in all areas, he simply did not have enough life for it. And another "male" era began. "I did not come to bring peace, but a sword, for I came to divide …" I do not exclude that among the many meanings of these words of Christ there is one: this is a capacious characteristic of the coming era. It is significant that the birth of Christ coincided with the parade of the planets - in fact, the first programming point of the era of separation. And it is no coincidence that the sign of Pisces became its symbol. Two fish swimming in different directions symbolize the energy of separation and opposition!

The revolutionary discoveries of Copernicus, J. Bruno, Galileo stunned and brought confusion to the minds of Europeans: the Earth revolves around the Sun, the Universe is infinite! This marked the beginning of the third "five hundred year plan" of the new era. A victorious march of science and analytical methods of knowledge in all spheres of life. These centuries were dominated by the desire to sort everything out on the shelves, order the world chaos, clearly, once and for all, separate the true from the false, the good from the bad, the beautiful from the ugly, the sacred from the sinful.
And it is not surprising that attempts to reveal certain universal laws of nature led to the formulation of the so-called law of duality. We know it as the law of duality, binarity, polarity, unity and struggle of opposites. Yang is yin, good is evil, light is darkness, spiritual is material, plus is minus, bad is good, creation is destruction, future is past, birth is death, order is chaos, etc. The two extremes are somewhat reminiscent of the two walls of a dark corridor. Burying now in the right, now in the left wall, even a blind man can more or less successfully move in the right direction.
This epoch that is passing away has fulfilled its task: by means of "specialization" it was able to deepen the knowledge of mankind in various spheres, helped to accumulate colossal amounts of information. Binary logic is at the heart of all computer and digital technology.
But this is only at first glance binary - a harmless philosophical or mathematical category. The “yes - no” logic aimed at finding absolute truth and absolute rightness (or wrongness) is cultivated by totalitarian regimes. Its task is to instill in the community a certain type of thinking, personal and group egoism, which manifests itself in the opposition of “I” and “they” (or “we” and “they”). They are those who disagree with us, internal and external enemies, dissenters. They can be used to write off both unpopular measures among the people, and their own failure, to justify the irresponsibility and selfishness of the rulers.
Bivalent logic supports the basis of totalitarian thinking - logical fatalism, the main principle of which is the exclusion of the third. Or or. There are no intermediate states. All contradictions are only antagonistic. Hence the practical consequences: "He who is not with us is against us!"
Today we have reached the peak - to the cult of reason and logical constructions, the cult of facts and technology. We have achieved excellence in the ability to destroy and destroy. The splitting of the atom - the invasion of other dimensions and worlds - became the apotheosis of the era of separation.
And… losses were discovered. The world turned out to be fragmented, dismembered. There are already hundreds of disciplines in science (only in geology today there are about 170 independent sections), specialists from different fields of knowledge have ceased to understand each other. As the founder of the theory of physical structures, Professor Yuri Kulakov, accurately characterized the end of this era: “Science has really become a productive force, but has stopped looking for Truth. Joyless rationalism, trying to formalize everything, to translate it into the dead language of algorithms, made the Truth unattractive."
In the obvious decline and spiritual culture, lost its main core - value guidelines. The criteria of good and evil are blurred, indifference to vice flourishes under the guise of pluralism. Nature can no longer withstand the onslaught of man.
What can be opposed to the destructive influence of bivalent logic?
The wisdom of the ancients
The Holy Trinity. Artist Jeronimo Cosida. XVI century
The famous Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885-1962), when visiting Moscow University, left an inscription on the wall of the Department of Theoretical Physics, a very seditious for Soviet ideology: "Opposites do not contradict, but complement each other."
The era of separation ends. It is being replaced by another era of synthesis. No, she does not reject duality, but interprets it differently. And he takes the next step in knowing the world. Scientists at a new level return to the Trinity law, which was revered by the ancient sages. This law presupposes the presence not so much of the antagonism of paired oppositions as of their reconciling coexistence. After all, it can be seen with the naked eye that only thanks to the interaction of light and darkness penumbraes are born and the world becomes visible and cognizable. It is the interaction of active and passive, masculine and feminine principles of the cosmos that gives rise to life.
Life is a state between birth and death, order and chaos, past and future, good and evil. This is the wisdom of maintaining balance in the presence of two opposite tendencies. This is both the concept of measure and the "golden mean" that the sages spoke about. It is also the “razor's edge” on which being balances, trying to prevent excesses and deficiencies.
The Trinity Law is universal in its manifestations. Like the concept of the Trinity, it is reflected in various religions and philosophical schools. It is in the concepts of "yang - den - yin", "creation - preservation - destruction", "birth - life - death", "body - soul - spirit". They associate this law with such concepts as "future - present - past". And with such fundamental categories as "information - energy - matter".
Since prehistoric times, the equilateral triangle has been emphasized. It was he who was considered divine in the ancient world. In Egypt, he was the emblem of God. Pythagoras (570-490 BC) considered him a symbol of wisdom. Plato (428-348 BC) called it the most beautiful of all triangles and saw in it a special, deep meaning of being.
For Christians, an equilateral triangle symbolized the trinity of God. The author of "Divine Proportion" Fra Luca Pacioli (1445-1517), from whom Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) studied mathematics, saw in the "divine" triangle the source of universal harmony and named two of its wonderful properties: the uniqueness of proportion, unique of its kind ("This oneness is the highest property of God himself"), and trinity, in which "one and the same essence is contained in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
For our ancestors, it was natural to divide the world into Jav-Nav-Prav, or the Earthly, underground and mountain world. And in Europe, symbols of the Trinity have been known since pagan times. In Hinduism, these are three hypostases of the One God (Brahman): Brahma (creator, creator) - Vishnu (guardian, protector) - Shiva (destroyer).
The term "Trinity" was first used in the 2nd century AD. Theophilus of Antioch: "The three days that were before the creation of the luminaries are the images of the Trinity, God and His Word and His Wisdom." But even earlier in the Old Testament (Gen. 18: 1-3) it was said about the One God, who appeared to Abraham in three persons: “And the Lord appeared to him at the oak forest of Mamvre … He lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, three men stood against him". Characteristically, Abraham addresses the three men: "Master!" - as if in front of him Someone United.
The Orthodox Church allows only a symbolic representation of the invisible and incomprehensible Trinity. When Father Pavel Florensky was asked how to imagine the Trinity, he advised to look at the icon of Andrei Rublev, which differs from other icons dedicated to the vision of Abraham, in that Abraham himself and Sarah are absent on it, and the Trinity is depicted outside of time: It was from the century, that is, always. In fact, the icon refutes the widespread prejudice that the hypostases appear in time one after another.
The consubstantiality of the Trinity is revealed on it, and one should not seek who is the Father, who is the Son, and who is the Holy Spirit. The perfection of the icon consists in the fact that it represents not individual hypostases, but the Trinity itself. No hypostasis exists without the other. Rublev emphasized the equality of all figures and their complete unity (almost mirrored), despite the fact that the faces and clothes on them are different. Religious disputes on the topic "How can it be -" three in one "and at the same time" one in three "?" did not stop for centuries. This is actually not easy to understand intellectually.
And now the famous designer of Soviet space technology, associate of Sergei Korolev and at the same time a deep religious philosopher Academician Boris Viktorovich Rauschenbach (1915-2001) set out to find a visual image for this paradox. And I did find it. Everything turned out to be simple to genius. He saw an example of such a trinity (“three in one” and at the same time “one in three”) in a three-dimensional (three-coordinate) vector, which is well known to us from school. A vector that exists as something unified and independent, at the same time can be represented by three independent orthogonal components - X, Y and Z.
The image of the Trinity, in addition to the triangle, in religions was also depicted by combinations of triangles, circles, arcs, trefoils, and a fork. One of the symbols of the triune essence of God (Creator, Guardian and Destroyer) is the Trident. Its three prongs are the three main possibilities of thinking and acting: passivity, activity and inertia. Activity - an energetic, purposeful act, knowledge of the true essence of the world - is reflected in the middle, vertical, sharpest tooth.
And today the symbols of the Trinity psychologically affect people, causing a feeling of stability, reliability, strength, power. Therefore, they are often used in trademarks and emblems. Thus, the Mercedes-Benz emblem is intended to symbolize the company's superiority in three environments - on land, on water and in the air. The Mitsubishi car company took the Scandinavian rune, symbolizing heavenly power, as an emblem, and gave it a new sound. Three diamonds - three principles: responsibility, honesty, mutual understanding.
Let's add to this images from the mysterious region of the unknown - crop circles, the so-called pictograms. Their symbolism is varied, but one of the frequently recurring themes is trinity, trinity. The pictogram circles appear several hundred annually, and the drawings become more and more complex, but sometimes appear in a matter of minutes. We still do not know about the methods of their "making", we do not know anything about their origin - earthly? extraterrestrial? other dimensional? But it is obvious that their authors are trying to attract our attention with their explicit manifestations. For what purpose?
Perhaps to study our reaction to such an unusual phenomenon. But it cannot be ruled out that their authors, with every move, pursue several goals. For example, they are trying to somehow influence our worldview. And when they give us some clues, they try to direct our views in the direction they need. Perhaps, forcing us to search for a deep meaning in the patterns-symbols, they introduce us to some global cosmic truths …
