Among the many amateurs and professionals of long distance travel, only a few left their homeland and settled where their dream lives. The brilliant French artist Paul Gauguin left for Tahiti, the author of "A Space Odyssey 2001" Arthur Clarke found his promised land in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) was born and raised in the capital of the Russian Empire, and died in the "country of snowy mountains" (Himachal Pradesh) in the Himalayas, in northern India.
Would Roerich be famous if he was only an artist? Undoubtedly, there are many recognized world-class masterpieces among 5000 of his paintings and monumental works. What if he was only a writer? Probably, after all, the whirlwind of information, thoughts, feelings, associations and ingenious guesses of Roerich's books draws the reader into its whirlpool and lifts him higher and higher. What about a public figure? Still, otherwise how could he break through the wall of inertia and push the world to take a collective decision to protect the cultural heritage of mankind ?! But this man took place and became famous not only as an artist, writer and public figure, but also as a philosopher, scientist and traveler.
Before you is a book, which tells about the grandiose and exciting journey of N. Roerich and his companions across Central Asia. Ceylon, India, Mongolia, East Turkestan, Sikkim, Ladakh, Tibet - everything was walked and experienced. Heat and cold, mountain paths and treacherous passes, armed clashes and misunderstandings with the authorities - and conversations, conversations, conversations with local residents about cars and railways, about revolution and Buddhism, about idols and secrets of Eastern teachings. And the search for Shambhala - the land of the Spirit.
Detailed diaries about the vicissitudes of this fascinating and dangerous journey harmoniously complement the reflections of the great Russian humanist about the ways of human development, the mysteries of ancient civilizations and the unity of the path of the West and the East.
The processing and systematization of the vast scientific materials collected by the expedition required the creation and long years of labor of an entire institute. But one thing is certain - the whole life of this wonderful man, all his accomplishments speak of one thing - he found his Shambhala.
Electronic publication includes all texts of the paper book and basic illustrative material. But for true connoisseurs of exclusive editions, we offer a gift classic book. The publication is generously illustrated with color and black-and-white images of even today inaccessible exotic places visited by the expedition. The gift edition is designed for everyone who is interested in the history of geographical discoveries and loves authentic stories about real adventures. This edition, like all the books in the Great Voyages series, is printed on fine offset paper and elegantly designed. The editions of the series will adorn any, even the most exquisite library, will be a wonderful gift for both young readers and discerning bibliophiles.

The vast heritage of the outstanding Russian artist, public figure, educator, traveler, orientalist Nicholas Roerich contains both poetry and philosophical prose. Collections of poems and pages of Roerich's fairy-tale mythological prose expressed the moral and religious ideas to which, through the pen and brush, his life was devoted. Close in his outlook to the aesthetics of the Young Symbolists and the philosophy of Vladimir Solovyov, Roerich saw the transformation of being in the self-improvement of everyone through the "positive principles" - Goodness, Beauty, Love and Brotherhood. At the heart of all Roerich's work is the thought of universal Love. His Philosophy is a synthesis of purposeful Thought, artistic Image and poetic Metaphor. The book "Seven Great Secrets of the Cosmos" in the form of legends tells about the birth of the Cosmos and the Solar System, about the origin and development of civilization from antiquity to the present day.

Roerich N.K. Seven great mysteries of the cosmos.
By reading legends, young people will learn to dream. This is a great quality, for it fills the heart with the best, powerful fires. With these fires of the heart, young people learn how to discern where the truth is. Truth is not cognized by calculations, only the language of the heart knows where the great Truth lives, which, in spite of everything, leads humanity to ascent. Are not legends a garland of the finest flowers? About small, insignificant and pitiful mankind does not make legends. Often, even in seemingly negative myths, there is a respect for the potential of inner power. In any case, each legend contains something unusual. Does not this unusualness lead the human spirit over the twilight of the mechanical standard? This machine standard does not build evolution. A legend that frees us from the oppressive conditions of everyday routine, renews our thinking, allows us to plunge into new depths of cognition, full of inexhaustible youthful enthusiasm.
Ask a great mathematician, a great physicist, a great physiologist, a great astronomer, can he dream? I do not mention artists, musicians, poets, because their whole being is built on the ability to dream. A great scientist, if he is really great and is not afraid of malevolent witnesses, of course, will entrust you with how perfectly he knows how to ascend with dreams. Like many of his discoveries, they are based not only on calculation, but precisely on a high life dream.
Yes, legends are not abstractions, but reality itself. Truly dreams are not signs of illiteracy, but the distinction of refined souls. Therefore, we will in every possible way encourage our youth to strive for inviting and creative legends, and together with the youth, remaining young, we will honor the dream as the guiding and lifting wings of our revival and improvement.

THE TRAVELER IS A FRIEND!
You begin to open paths to Cosmos, to Infinity. You are going to go out into space. Perhaps you will try to overcome the cosmic heights. - All this is destined for you, all this is for you.
Remember the precepts of the ancients:
Having gathered on a long journey, let us sit in silence.
Before stepping into the great future, let us remember the past and comprehend the present.
Let's think together about what the wisdom of nations has been talking about in the language of legends and tales for thousands of years.
Perhaps this knowledge will come in handy along the way.
BOOK ONE
ANCIENT LEGENDS
Created by the wisdom of the Great Souls
Throughout innumerable eras.
THE LEGEND OF SPACE THOUGHT
Knowledge about the Cosmos is accumulating slowly by humanity. For centuries, man has discovered the laws of nature, cosmic laws. These laws existed even when a person did not yet know about them. And now there are laws that humanity has not yet discovered. What we already know is our knowledge. What we do not yet know is a mystery to us. But what is still a secret for us is knowledge for someone - there are Beings in the Cosmos who know more. And to know something is to think about it. This is how thoughts are created and they live independently in space. The space is filled with images of Truth, people call them ideas. Invaluable treasures of the spirit soar in space. Few will understand the wonderful significance of living spatial thought. But every spatial thought can be the property of a person. Sparks of knowledge can reveal all the secrets of existence. Those who can strain their psychic energy into the rhythm of spatial energies will accept treasures into their consciousness. Thus, spatial thought becomes the Voice of Silence for such people. The scientist calls it intuition, the poet - inspiration, the hermit - insight. The hidden manifestations of the Cosmos shine in the eye of the walking one. Whoever managed to tune himself to the cosmic note could listen to the Voice of Silence. But amid the monotony of everyday life, only a few feel the reality of the Cosmos. Only in the greatness of Nature, far from the noise of everyday life, can the Voice of Silence be heard. Only in Nature can one realize the greatness of the Cosmos. Only in Nature can one contemplate Infinity, where everything is possible. That is why throughout the history of mankind, hermits, ascetics, saints went to the mountains, deserts, forests ...
In the twinkling of the stars, they listened to the secrets of cosmic thought. For millennia, empathetic people have listened to the Voice of the Silence. So they learned many cosmic secrets. Some wrote down in the sacred books, others passed it orally as Revelation. In the world language of symbols, what they heard was passed on to the peoples - THUS LEGENDS WERE CREATED.
MYSTERY ONE
DAYS AND NIGHTS OF BRAMA
If you love looking at the starry sky
If it attracts you with its harmony
And strikes with its immensity -
So you have a living heart beating in your chest
This means that it will be able to resound in secret words about the life of the Cosmos.
Hear what the ancient legend says
About infinity, eternity and rhythm
Great Being of the Universe.
Since time immemorial, people have looked at the starry sky, reverently admired the flicker of countless worlds. The greatness of the Cosmos amazed man from the very beginning of his presence on Earth. Especially in the loneliness of an unimaginable desert or among the heaps of gigantic mountains, a person involuntarily plunged into thoughts about the immensity of the Universe, about the infinity of outer space.
The mind of man was amazed at this infinity. But also he could not in any way imagine the Cosmos as the ultimate. Assuming that there is a limit to space somewhere, we also admit the question: what is beyond this limit? If not space, then what exactly? And each time the human mind is forced to admit that the Cosmos cannot have limits, the outer space stretches in all directions infinitely ...
But the human mind, very limited, is also unable to fully comprehend the infinity. So the Cosmic Infinity remains an incomprehensible, strange concept, before which the mind of a person becomes numb ...
The thought of the Infinity of the Cosmos in space involuntarily evokes thoughts about its Eternity in time. This is how the oldest of the ancient questions arose: was there ever a beginning of the universe? Will it end? Or does it all exist from eternity? And will it stay the same forever? The man painfully wanted to know about this, to reveal the secret of the origin of the worlds, the secret of cosmic eternity. And people left for the deserts, retired to the mountains - they became hermits, so that no one would interfere with their concentration on thinking about the fundamental issues of Genesis. And they thought, thought, thought ...
And so the cosmic secrets began to gradually unfold before them. The tense, concentrated, constant thinking of those who abandoned the pleasures of ordinary life for the sake of knowing the secrets of the Cosmos attracted spatial thought - they began to hear the Voice of Silence: “… there was a time when there was nothing”.
This time is described in the hymns of the Rig Veda, one of the oldest monuments of world literature. Here is a snippet of one of these hymns:
Nothing existed: not a clear Sky,
Nor the grandeur of the odes stretched over the Earth.
What covered everything? What was the fence? What was hiding?
Was it the bottomless depths of the waters?
There was no death, and there was no immortality.
There were no boundaries between day and night.
Only One in his breath without sighs,
And nothing else had existence.
Darkness reigned, and everything was hidden from the beginning.
In the depths of darkness - an ocean of lightless.
A passage from the even more ancient Book of Dzyan says the same:
There was nothing. One darkness filled the Infinite All.
There was no Time, it rested in the Endless depths of duration.
There was no Universal Mind, for there were no Beings to contain it.
There was no Silence, no Sound, for there was no hearing to feel it.
There was nothing but the Unbreakable Eternal Breath, not knowing itself.
Only a single form of Existence, boundless, endless, causeless, stretched out, resting in a dreamless sleep;
Unconscious life pulsed in the Universal Space.
These two fragments of the oldest recorded human thought speak of a time when the Cosmos did not yet exist, when "nothing existed." This means that there was once the beginning of the universe. And if there was a beginning, then there must be an end. After all, everything that is born must die. If there was a time when there was no Cosmos, then the hour will come when it will be gone again.
And legends say that the Cosmos is born into being, exists for a certain time, and then dissolves again into non-being. In the legends of ancient India, the period of the existence of the Cosmos is called the "Age of Brahma" or "Great Manvantara". To express the duration of this period in our calculation of years, fifteen digits are required. And although the Cosmos has existed for such an unimaginably long time that it seems endless, this time is still limited - our Universe is not eternal.
The “Great Eternity of Nothingness”, called “Maha Pralaya”, that is, universal dissolution, continues for the same length of time. Then the reality Universe is resurrected to a new Cosmic Life, to a new Age of Brahma. This continues, without beginning or end, the alternation of the great periods of Life and Death of the Cosmos. In the alternating cycles of Being and Nonexistence, the Universe is eternal! It is periodic in the ceaseless appearance and disappearance of worlds - and is eternal as a whole. The number of Manvantaras is infinite - there has never been the first Manvantara, just as there will never be the last.
The Great Cosmos manifests itself to life and dissolves into nothingness in exactly the same way as a microcosm-man is born and dies. The analogy is complete here. It spreads further. Just as a person experiences a “small death” every night, falling asleep in the evening and waking up in the morning, so there are “Nights” of the Universe, when only everything living dies, and the whole world does not disappear, but remains in a dormant state. On “Morning” everything comes to life again. This repetition of periods of sleep and wakefulness in the Cosmos can be compared to the alternation of winter and summer in Nature.
In the terminology of ancient Hindu philosophy, the period of the cosmic activity of the Universe, when the Cosmos is awake, when all that exists is living, is called the “Day of Brahma” or “Small Manvantara”. And the time when the Cosmos "sleeps", when everything in the Universe "rests", is called the "Night of Brahma" or "Little Pralaya". It is said that the duration of the Day of Brahma is more than four billion years; the Night of Brahma lasts the same amount. 360 Nights of Brahma constitute one Year of Brahma, and one hundred Years of Brahma is the Age of Brahma already known to us. This is the calculation of the Cosmic calendar!
The alternation of activity and passivity in the Cosmos is reflected in the periodicity of all manifestations of Nature. In everything one can distinguish between Manvantaras and Pralaya. From the smallest phenomena to the change of the Worlds, one can see this majestic law. It acts in the beating of the heart and in the rhythm of breathing; it is subject to sleep and wakefulness, the change of day and night - just like the phases of the moon and the alternation of the seasons. The birth, life and death of all living things are repeated forever. Nature, like the entire Cosmos, manifests itself in an endless change, in an eternal rhythm. Man and his planet Earth, the solar system and the Universe as a whole - everything in the Cosmos has its own periods of activity and rest, life and death.
In the midst of the Milky Way of stars, the birth and death of the worlds eternally follow one after another in a correct sequence in the solemn procession of the Cosmic Law.
This is how the legend about the First Mystery of the Cosmos - about the great cosmic rhythm of Being and Nonexistence, tells.
Nicholas Roerich
MYSTERY THREE.
BUILDERS OF THE UNIVERSE
You already know about Parabraman.
You know what gives impetus to the beginning of each new Manvantara.
But how is the Cosmos born after Maha Pralaya?
Does it arise by itself, without any outside help?
Or does someone build it, build it?
Hear what the legends have to say about it.
The Cosmic Night is ending. The eternal and unshakable Law, which produces the alternation of the great periods of Activity and Peace of the Universe, gives an impulse to the awakening of the Cosmos to life. The dawn of a new Manvantara is dawning.
How does the Great Generation of Cosmic Life begin? When the hour has struck, from the Unknown and Unknowable Absolute - Parabraman, from the Uncaused Cause of all that exists, the First Cause of the Cosmos arises first to Existence; Great Divine Essence called LOGOS.
This name, taken from ancient Greek philosophy, expresses the idea of \u200b\u200ban ancient legend: Logos is the first WORD that is heard from the Silence. This is the first Sound through which the Universe is conceived. It is vibration or movement of Divine Energy, which is also light, for Light is the movement of Matter. This Light also means Divine Thought, which gives rise to the longest period of the creation of the Universe.
Then other Great Beings appear - these are those who completed their human evolution in the past Manvantara on this or that planet, in this or that solar system - the so-called Planetary Spirits, the Creators of Worlds. With the beginning of the new Manvantara, these mighty Spirits become the closest collaborators of the Cosmic Logos.
Thus, the manifested Logos begins to govern the whole Hierarchy of conscious Divine Forces - spiritual intelligent Essences. In this Hierarchy, each Being has its own specific task in the construction and management of the Cosmos throughout its existence.
The Hierarchical Beginning is a cosmic law, there is a leading principle in the Cosmos, therefore each Universe, World or Planet has its own Hierarch. There is always a Supreme Spiritual Being who assumes responsibility for the Planet for the whole Manvantara and stands at the head of his high Brothers.
Before starting work on his Universe, the Logos creates on the Plan of Divine Thought a project of the entire system of this Universe, as it should be from the beginning to its end. He creates all the “prototypes” of forces and forms, emotions, thoughts and intuition and determines how and through what stages each of them should be realized in the evolutionary scheme of His system. Thus, before the emergence of the Universe, its entire integrity is contained in the Universal Mind of the Logos, exists in it as an idea - everything that, during the entire subsequent process of construction, pours into objective life. All these prototypes, being the fruits of the previous worlds, serve as seeds for the future world.
This is how the legend tells about the Third Secret of the Cosmos - about the Great Hierarchy of the Creative Forces of the Universe.
MYSTERY FOUR
CREATION OF SPACE MATTER
You already know that the creation of the Cosmos begins with the dawn of Manvantara.
You already know that the Universe is built according to the plan of the Logos.
You even learned something about the Hierarchy of the Cosmic Builders.
Now listen to what the legend says about Cosmic Matter. Worlds are created from it.
With the dawn of the new Manvantara, the first of the three great stages of the activity of the Logos and the Hierarchy of Builders led by him begins. This is the creation of materials from which the Universe will then be built.
The primary material or “raw material” for Cosmic Matter is Pre-Cosmic Substance - unmanifest virgin matter. In eastern legends it is called Mula-Prakriti, which means the Root of Matter. Mula Prakriti, being an aspect of Parabraman, is eternal and also exists in the time of Pralaya. This “dissolved” matter is an unimaginably rarefied subtle substance. All kinds of Cosmic Matter are created from it - from the subtlest to the grossest.
Legends distinguish seven states of Cosmic Matter - seven degrees of its subtlety. Just as steam, water and ice are three states of the same substance of our physical world, so there are seven states of Cosmic Spirit-Matter. Of these, only the seventh is the lowest, the grossest state visible to the physical eye: this is the matter of our physical world. The six higher states are invisible and inaccessible to our physical senses.
Each of the seven gradations of Cosmic Matter consists of atoms that are different for each gradation. The atoms of the first, most subtle state of Spirit-Matter are created as follows. The energy of the Logos (called Fohat in the legends), with a vortex movement of unimaginable speed, “drills holes” inside. Pre-Cosmic Substance. These are the whirlwinds of life, clothed in the thinnest shell of Pre-Cosmic Substance, and are the primary atoms. Such atoms represent “emptiness” in substance, filled with the energy of the Logos.
Each of the seven states of the Cosmic Mother forms its own special Cosmic Sphere, its own special plan or World. Countless substances of primary atoms and their combinations form the highest or first Spirit-Matter. The sphere called the "Divine World".
Among the numerous Hierarchy of Creative Forces subordinate to the Logos, there are vast hosts of Builders who build all forms according to these ideas, which are in the treasury of the Logos, the World Mind. Thus, these Builders create, or rather, recreate each "System" after the "Night".
The Logos is the “Creator” of the Universe in the sense used when the architect is spoken of as the “Creator” of a building, although this architect never touched a single stone of it, but, having drawn a plan, left all the manual work to the masons.
The ancient cosmogonic legends of the East narrate that the Universe after Pralaya is being built very slowly, gradually, over many hundreds of millions of years, and that a host of intelligent beings, from the great divine Architects to ordinary bricklayers, are working on the creation of the Cosmos. Who can calculate how many eons it took to shape our tiny Earth alone? Will this “Creation” not stretch for hundreds of millions of years only for our planet?
After the atoms of each of the seven Cosmic spheres are built, the Logos creates in them subdivisions (“sub-planes”), of which there are seven in each sphere. For this, the atoms are pulled together into groups of two, three, four, etc. atoms. The first or subtlest subdivision of each of the seven spheres is made up of simple basic atoms, while all other subdivisions are made up of combinations of these atoms. So, in the physical world, the first subdivision consists of simple atoms, the second is formed from rather simple combinations of homogeneous atoms - this is the electromagnetic state of physical matter. The third subdivision is formed from more complex combinations of atoms - this is the basic state of matter, or "ether". The fourth is even more complex: this is the thermal state of matter, or "fire". The fifth subdivision consists of combinations of even more complex ones, considered by chemists as gaseous atoms of chemical elements, which in this subdivision received certain “names - this is the gaseous state of matter, or“ air. ”The sixth subdivision is the liquid state of matter, or“ water, ”and the seventh consists of solids - this is "earth".
The life or consciousness of the Logos manifests itself as a kind of energy, a kind of vibration; everything is based on vibrations. The Universe consists of vibrations of the outflowing Divine Life, they are clothed in basic forms of matter, from which all diversity develops. Matter that forms the objective world is an emanation of the Logos, its forces and energies are the currents of His Life. He dwells in every atom, penetrating everything, containing and developing everything. He is the Source and End of the Universe, its Cause and its Purpose. He is in everything, and everything is in Him.
This is how the legend about the Fourth Secret of the Cosmos - about the construction of the seven spheres of Cosmic Matter, narrates.
SECRET FIVE.
THE BIRTH OF THE PLANETS
If you know about the Builders of the Cosmos,
If you know about the materials from which it is built -
You might be wondering how solar systems are made.
So listen to the ancient legend.
Both in Heaven and on Earth, the foundation of being penetrates all that exists. It is this foundation that helps to understand the Hierarchy of Infinity and the creation of Worlds. Who will doubt that someone's will is expressed in every earthly object? Without will, you cannot create an earthly object and not set it in motion. So it is on Earth, and so it is also in the Higher World. The planet, as an earthly stronghold, and entire systems of celestial bodies are also born in the impulse of will.
Such a will is especially understandable, but even the average human will can be like an exemplary microcosm. If we take the average human will as a unit of the highest tension, then we can calculate the strength of the impulse of the planetary will. It is even possible to rush into countless zeros to represent the impulse of the will of the whole system. This is how the Universe of the Inexpressible is shown.
Primordial Cosmic Matter is in space in a rarefied state. From this chaotic stellar substance, the will of the Logos and His Co-workers creates worlds and sets them in motion.
How celestial bodies are conceived, a simple milkmaid knows about it. The hostess, knocking down butter, has already learned the secret of the worlds. But before proceeding to churning, the hostess sent her thought about it. She also knows that oil cannot be obtained from water. She will say that you can churn milk or butter, thus she already knows about the matter containing vital energy. The thrush also knows how useful spiral rotation is.
Thus, only the disconnection of thought and churning is a useful mass, then cheese occurs, already with the rudiments of the population. Let's not smile, cheese is already a microcosm, the same energy rotates the systems of worlds. It is only necessary to firmly realize the meaning of Thought, the meaning of the great Energy. The same energy shines in the heart of every person.
Cosmogony is cognized by analogy with obtaining a piece of butter from milk. The thought-energy of the Logos pierces the radiant substance and, with its rotational motion, creates the Centers of Forces around which the Cosmic Matter grows. Thus, the primary
the differentiation of matter appears in clots and lumps, like curdling in liquid milk. This is how the Logos conceives the Worlds, this is how the “Churning of the cosmic Milky Ocean” takes place. The worlds are created from "Starry Substance", which curls up and spreads in milky-white clots in the depths of Space. The energy of the Logos gives the swirling Cosmic Matter an impulse of striving towards form and an initial movement. This movement is supported and regulated by the never resting Hierarchs, Planetary Spirits. A fiery whirlwind of incandescent cosmic dust follows magnetically, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, behind and guiding thought. Cosmic Matter goes through all six stages of solidification, becomes spheroidal and finishes, transforming into balls.
Born in the immeasurable depths of Space from a homogeneous element, each core of Cosmic Matter begins life under the most hostile circumstances. Over the course of a number of countless centuries, it must win its place in Infinity. It rushes into space and begins to rotate in the depths of the abyss in order to strengthen its homogeneous organism through the accumulation and addition of differentiated elements. So it becomes a comet.
This core rotates between denser and already stationary bodies, moving in leaps, and rushes to the point or center that attracts it. Like a ship drawn into a channel dotted with reefs and underwater rocks, it tries to avoid other bodies. Many die, their mass decays in stronger masses. Those who move slowly, sooner or later, are condemned to destruction. Others avoid death because of their speed. Having reached its goal - a suitable place in space - the comet loses its speed and, consequently, its fiery tail. Here the "Fire Dragon" settles for a calm and organized life, as a respected citizen of a star family. Thus, the clots (World Substance) first become Wanderers-comets; these become stars; and the stars (centers of rotation) - by suns, to cool down to the degree of inhabited worlds - planets.
The idea of \u200b\u200bevolution, analogous, if not identical, to Darwin's evolution, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe struggle for existence and primacy and “the experience of the fittest,” belongs to deep antiquity. Incessant battles between stars and constellations, between moons and planets; “Great wars! in the Sky ”in the Puranas; The "Wars of the Titans" by Hesiod and other classical writers, and even the battles in Scandinavian legends, all refer to Heaven, to astronomical and theogonic battles, and to the adaptation of heavenly bodies. "The struggle for existence" and "the experience of the strongest" reigned supreme from the moment of the manifestation of the Cosmos in being. Ancient reasoning about the creation and development of the world completely according to the Darwinian method, ahead of him and the school, as regards natural selection, the gradual development and transformation of species.
Not without, as the legends say, struggle in our solar system. There is a whole poem describing the pregenetic battles between the developing planets before the final formation of the Cosmos. Here is the content of one of these legends.
Eight Sons were born from the body of the Mother - Space. Eight houses were built by the Mother for the eight Divine Sons: four large and four smaller. Eight shining Suns according to their age and dignity.
The Sun Lord was dissatisfied, although his house was the largest. He started to work like huge elephants do. He drew the breath of life from his brothers into his womb, He tried to swallow them up.
The four big ones were far from him at the extreme limit of their kingdom - the Planetary System. They were not touched and laughed: "Do everything in your power, Master, you cannot reach us." But the smaller ones cried. What could have a weak effect on Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter would destroy such comparatively small “Abodes” as Mercury, Venus and Mars. They complained to Mother.
She banished the Sun to the center of her kingdom, from where it could not move. Since then, it has only guarded and threatened. It pursues its brothers, slowly revolving around itself. The planets are rapidly turning away from the Sun, and from a distance it follows the direction in which its brothers move along the path that surrounds their dwellings.
According to the legend, the first concentrated Cosmic Matter began around the central core, its own Sun - the Father. But our sun is simply earlier than all the others, during the contraction of the rotating mass, and therefore is their “elder brother”, but not their “father”. The Sun and the Planets are only one uterine brothers with the same vague beginning.
Having evolved from Outer Space, the Sun, as the legends say, before the final formation of the original and ring planetary nebulae, drew into the depths of its mass all the cosmic vitality that it could, threatening absorption and its weakest "brothers".
According to legends, all worlds and planets are individual beings. They have to fulfill their duties, they have their periods of health and illness, birth and maturity, decline and death. They are the real dense houses of the animating Intelligences - the Planetary Spirits. Each celestial body is a temple of one of the Divine Beings - each star is a sacred Abode. They are also called “Heavenly Snails”, for the disembodied (for us) Intelligences, invisibly dwelling in their starry and planetary dwellings, in their rotation carry them with them, like snails.
This is how the ancient legend tells about the Fifth Secret of the Cosmos - about the creation of the Solar Systems.
