56. Features of Russian spirituality

A special role in the development of the worldview of the new era belongs to Russia - due to its special metaphysical status. The point of view has already been expressed more than once that Russia, they say, is a kind of bridge between East and West and has features of both East and West. However, in our opinion, those authors who claim that Russia has its own deepest essence, which distinguishes it both from the East and, in particular, from the West, are much closer to the truth. At the same time, undoubtedly, Russia has both some Western features and Eastern features, the latter, of course, to a greater extent. There is no need to talk about the closeness of Orthodoxy with its principles of mystical contemplation to Eastern doctrines.

The fact that the problem of the true "I" is at the center of the Eastern tradition is also well known. Of course, the tendencies of this search in Russia differ in many respects from those in India, all the more so since the Russian search is by no means finished yet, while in India everything that is within its metaphysical limits is already almost completed. In the subtext of classical Russian literature lies the deepest metaphysics and philosophy. Russian literature is rightfully considered the most philosophical literature in the world. It is no coincidence that Friedrich Nietzsche considered F. M. Dostoevsky the greatest connoisseur of the human soul and considered acquaintance with his works one of the greatest successes of his life. Russia, while remaining an Orthodox country, has absorbed, both on the esoteric and exoteric levels, the deepest features of the thinking of the East, especially India.

These traits, these peculiarities of thinking and spirit can and do become part of modern Russian culture. Without a doubt, this “orientalism” is uniquely refracted and processed in accordance with Russian spiritual experience. But its depth, given the spiritual kinship of Russian and Indian cultures, can give a completely new and unexpected color to future Russian thinking and culture and help their original development.

However, despite its deep inner closeness to the East, Russia is spiritually close to the West as well, if only because it has been a Christian country for a thousand years and the "collective unconscious" of the Russian people was formed under the decisive influence of the Christian religion in its most authentic - Orthodox form.

Thus, the Russian people spiritually reworked and, as it were, fused both the East and the West into a single organic whole, while retaining all their spiritual originality and not belonging to either one or the other.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Random news from the Archive Air line for drones 22.07.2022 In the next two years, Skyway, the world's largest automated superhighway for drones and drones, will appear in the UK. The Skyway will be 263 kilometers long; the highway will unite Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Coventry and Rugby. The project costs £12m and is expected to be completed by mid-2024. The technology will use ground sensors that are installed along the highway. They will be able to track the location of the drones in real time. This data is analyzed by an automatic traffic control system that will guide the aircraft and prevent them from colliding in the air. Chris Forster, COO of aviation technology company Altitude Angel, explains that such a highway could have many potential applications: We have implemented several projects in Africa, where the road infrastructure was not suitable for ground vehicles, and the delivery of vaccines was carried out by automated drones." This is just part of the UK government's £263m aerospace package. Of this, 105,5 million pounds will be directed to projects related to "integrated aviation systems and new transport technologies", including drones and drones. Other projects involve using drones to regularly deliver mail and medicines to the Isles of Scilly, as well as delivering medicines across Scotland, which would allow some cancer patients to be treated in their home towns and villages.
