SECRETS OF SHAMANIC RITUAL FLAME

A. Alekseev

Abstract

From the point of view of modern science, we do not know all the properties of light. We still have a very poor idea of light. Apparently, our understanding about the environment, including light, are still very primitive and simple. We know almost nothing about the surrounding nature, the cosmos, about other civilizations. In a scientific way - about the microcosm, the macrocosm and megacosm. In a popular way - about the middle, upper and lower worlds. Human organs of the senses do not sense the invisible ritual shaman fire, but it appears when photographing during shamanistic ritual. Certainly, this is not an ordinary fire but sacred and magical, i.e. shamanistic. It must be assumed that in my photos we see sacred and magical (in Even language). According to the ideas of the northern peoples, fire always had its own spirit. In this connection, Carl Jung wrote: "The spirit also has a fiery aspect, as we know from the Old Testament" According to shamans’ stories, fire-light is used almost for any illnesses. First, fire-light is used to diagnose a patient by the type of X-ray diagnosis. After diagnosing a shaman starts healing by different methods, including light-fire method. Presumably, sound has also a wave property of light. Indeed, the photograph fixed that during the tambourine beat there were lines of fire or light following from it. That is, the sound waves give the effect of light. When the shaman beats a tambourine, “lightning” emanates from it and a light effect appears. It is impossible to give a complete scientific justification to this shaman phenomenon from the point of view of modern science. Why? There is a surprising and paradoxical conclusion that "the truth is multivariate and reality is shown in mirages" In Physics this elusiveness of truth is recorded in the Heisenberg principle, called “the uncertainty principle”. Could the lights in the photographs be explained through the Maxwell equation? Indeed, D. Maxwell discovered a new phenomenon: the fields created by moving charges were able to leave the source and "independently travel in space." Mathematical design of such a field is associated with six numbers at each point of space. “It is impossible to imagine this, it goes beyond the limits of our abilities for abstractions and, especially, for sensorial perceptions ".
