The mystics believe: people whose names are heard daily and hourly are not destined to re-incarnate on Earth in a material shell. This is the price of fame. What is the basis for this conclusion? We will tell you about this.
Walk with Pushkin
A couple of years ago, my wife and I celebrated the New Year at our friend's house in Tsarskoe Selo. By the evening of the next day, we went for a walk in the Catherine Park. The weather was wonderful, mild, snowy, with a slight frost. We walked with pleasure to our favorite places, leading a leisurely conversation about everything that is close to our souls and hearts. And they read poetry, and, of course, Pushkin! After all, there, near the lyceum, everything breathes with the memory of him, there his spirit is invisibly present …
However, as it turned out a little later, he is very much even visible. We had a camera with us and our friend took many pictures. Back home, they downloaded them to the computer. Began to look. Looking at the photo taken near the Cameron Gallery, I just couldn't believe my eyes. Against the background of this historical monument, behind us, the outlines of a face (upper part), very similar to the face of Alexander Sergeevich, clearly appeared. Look closely at the picture and agree, it looks very similar!
Is it really true that the spirit of the great Russian poet walked with us through our favorite corners of the park, listened to our ingenuous speeches, listened to the sounds of his masterpieces that flew from our lips (which would be nice to any writer) ?! And why did he choose to reveal his presence in this way? I have no answer to these questions. But, delving deeper into the topic, I found out that the appearance of the spirits of the dead (both great and unremarkable, simple) people to the present inhabitants of the Earth is not so rare. Why is this happening?
A person is alive as long as he is remembered

An interesting theory was put forward by the Danish philosopher and parapsychologist Frederik Björnsen. Having collected and systematized many testimonies about the phenomena of the spirits of people who lived in different eras in different parts of our planet, he drew attention to one thing. In the vast majority of cases, just or relatively recently deceased relatives or acquaintances - in general, close people - come from the other world to warn a person about the danger that threatens him or to warn against rash acts.
Thus, the spirit of her father, who had died a month ago, appeared to a resident of Copenhagen, Martha S., and ordered to take all his savings from the bank. The woman obeyed. And what? The financial crisis soon erupted and this bank burst.
Amsterdam resident David G. was returning late at night from a party (note, somewhat drunk). He wandered through the dark streets of a notorious neighborhood. Wanting to shorten the path, I wanted to turn into a side street - and suddenly I saw a whitish translucent figure at the intersection. Looking closely, the young man recognized a rocker friend who had recently crashed on a motorcycle. He wanted to get closer, but the spirit made a forbidding sign with his hand. At the same time, some force pushed David in the chest and turned him away from the alley. The guy went the other way. And the next day he learned that last night a man had been robbed and killed in this alley …
In second place in frequency are the manifestations of the spirits of famous people: poets, artists, musicians, actors, etc. Bjørnsen in his work "The Phenomenon of the Transcendent" gives many such examples. At the same time, the appearance of the spirits of people unfamiliar, unknown to the witness, is an extremely rare, single thing.
Based on these observations, Björnsen concludes that spirits are kept on Earth by our memory, our ideas about once living people. It is not for nothing that in many cultures there is an expression that a person is alive as long as the memory of him is alive. Remembering a relative who has left us, getting to know the life, deeds and work of famous people in history, literature and other school disciplines, reading books, watching films, conducting "cultural" conversations, we seem to resurrect them from oblivion, draw them to ourselves - and thereby we do not allow to prepare for a new incarnation.
The energetic essence, an immortal component called the soul, is doomed to wander in our world (and possibly in other worlds) until the name of the one in whose body it was in its last incarnation is forgotten. If we are talking about an ordinary person who is known and remembered by a limited circle of friends, acquaintances, relatives of 2-3 generations, this period of wandering in the image of the spirit will be relatively short - a maximum of a century and a half. But if you are famous and inscribed your name in the history of mankind, you will be your spirit until the end of time, more precisely, until the end of our civilization. This is the price of fame.
Oh, I should know who is dictating these lines!
At the time of my student's youth in the literary association, which was attended by the author of these lines, a certain Sergei V. was engaged. He was a very mediocre poet, but very prolific. For each lesson, he brought a heap of poems, read them enthusiastically in front of "colleagues in the poetry workshop" - and was very offended by friendly criticism. And they criticized him mercilessly, beat him with a backhand, literally smeared him on the wall. He was angry, but did not give up, he came to the execution again and again.
And then one evening Sergey came into my room (we lived in the same hostel) and, embarrassed, handed me a sheet:
- Here, read it.
I looked - and was stunned. A small, three stanzas poem - but how wonderful it is! Magnificent metaphors, precise, unshackled rhymes, excellent composition - in general, even now in a literature reader, in company with the classics. It seems that it was not Sergei who wrote this, but some other person, a great master of the poetic word.
- Seryozha, no words! Brilliant! But how did you manage it?
“You won’t believe it,” he replied and said that he had been struggling with one poem all evening, and it never came to him. So I went to bed. And at night in a dream, his beloved poet Sergei Yesenin appeared to him - young, light, graceful, golden-haired. And he dictated these lines. And finally he told:
“Don’t believe I hanged myself at Angleterre. I'm not suicidal. The Chekists killed me, by treason and slander of my comrades. It will be announced soon.
And it was in the 1970s, when the version of Yesenin's murder was practically not raised. It is now, after the film with Bezrukov in the title role, it is being exaggerated by all and sundry. And then to say that Yesenin was killed by the Chekists was not only imprudent, but also unsafe …
Favorite places of spirits
In occult literature, you can find a huge amount of evidence of encounters with the spirits of famous people. And each of them has a favorite place. For example, Pushkin most often appears in Tsarskoe Selo. Paul I wanders around the Mikhailovsky Castle. Grigory Rasputin settled in a house on Gorokhovaya. Moreover, according to tenants, he tries in every possible way to maintain order in the house and only sometimes allows himself to play a little hooliganism. The spirit of Georg Friedrich Handel was seen more than once in the house number 25 on Brook Street, London, where the composer spent the second half of his life and died.
The ghost of singer Elvis Presley sometimes finds himself in his Graceland home, the Nashville studio where he made his final recordings, and the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas. Marilyn Monroe appears in her favorite room at Roosevelt Hotel. She was also seen wandering among the tombstones near her own grave at the Westwood Memorial Cemetery in Los Angeles.
The villains are also doomed to immortality. The spirit of Adolf Hitler, for example, settled in the Berghof residence in the Berchtes-gaden valley in the Bavarian Alps, where, at the height of his power, he spent most of the time. Already at the end of the war, looking out the window of the Berghof residence, Hitler said: "It is here that Germany will find me in the millennia." Since the 40s of the XX century, locals and tourists have seen the ghost of the Fuhrer more than once.
Kremlin officials meet the ghost of Lenin at night. Moreover, recently the leader of the revolution began to behave actively. Previously, he wandered the Kremlin corridors with an indifferent look, but now he began to excitedly shake his fist at someone. It looks like he wants to warn us about something …
By the way, before the coronation, Nicholas II saw the ghost of Ivan the Terrible. And he told him about the coming inglorious reign and the collapse of the dynasty. Perhaps this gave the spirit pleasure: revenge is a sweet dish, and the Romanovs had a hand in the suppression of the Rurik dynasty. The death of Tsarevich Dimitri is the death of Tsarevich Alexei. An eye for an eye…
However, back to photography. Interestingly, Pushkin also wanted to warn us about something? Or maybe he just felt good around us?
