What happens to the human Personality after the death of the physical body from the point of view of science? Yes, yes it is science, not religion. What happens to our knowledge, skills, sensations, emotions, thoughts, information about the world around us accumulated over a lifetime, that is, to our life experience? Does our life stop with the beating of the heart? If we turn with death only into lifeless matter, subject to decomposition, then what was life worth? Delivered many complex and vital important issues. But it turns out they there are scientifically proven answers!
What is the secret of immortality? The scientist suggested that the solution to this mystery is related to the structure and functions of the human brain. And so he devoted his whole life to studying it. In particular, he was interested in the process of thought formation. How does a person think? And what role does the brain play in these processes? This question may seem surprising. After all, many readers may be convinced that it is in the brain that our thoughts originate. But in fact, not everything is so clear. For example, scientists for many years doubted that the human mental activity is connected with the brain and believed that this is a purely mental phenomenon. For a deep study of these issues, Academician Bekhterev created a whole doctrine of the brain as a "material object" that provides the process of thinking.
This is where a person comes up with an idea. How does she appear? What happens to her next? On this score, Bekhterev put forward a hypothesis that is insane at first glance: “It must be recognized that all the phenomena of the world, including the internal processes of living beings and manifestations of the spirit, can and should be considered as derivatives of one world energy” (“Immortality of the human personality as a scientific problem” by V. M. Bekhterev). Based on the foregoing, we can conclude: if "all the phenomena of the world", including thought, are "derivatives of one world energy", then the human brain is only a material intermediary between a person and the entire universe. To put it simply, the brain is not a source from which thoughts appear, but rather a trapper, transducer, accumulator and repeater. That is, it can be figuratively compared with a radio receiver (which has the ability to work at different frequencies), combined with a tape recorder, which can record radio broadcasts and play them back. It should also be noted that the full potential of the human brain as a universal "adaptation" is still far from being studied.
This information surprisingly resonates with what he writes in the book. AllatRa contemporary writer Anastasia Novykh. Here are a few quotes: « The brain is the mediator between consciousness and the world. He perceives and tries to decipher the codes, that is, various signals, including those coming from the five senses. But it is especially important to note that the brain is able to perceive many other signals coming not only from the visible, but also from the invisible world. Confirmation of this for modern scientists are experiments conducted with the participation of people who are engaged in certain meditation practices by changing the state of your consciousness. These are Buddhist monks, and Siberian shamans, clairvoyants, and so on.. Curiously, Bekhterev also conducted research aimed at studying the brain activity of people with paranormal abilities. It was for this purpose that in 1920 a special commission was created to study paranormal phenomena (telekinesis and telepathy). Or another quote from the AllatRa book: “... one should pay attention to the structure (shape) of the human skull itself from the inside and the tissues adjacent to it. Particular attention deserves the frontal, parietal and occipital bones, with their special relief. This is a kind of biological prototype of concave mirrors, capable of focusing, absorbing and reflecting waves of different frequencies. This design serves as a good resonator (from Latin word"resono" - "I sound in response", "I respond"), that is, it is able to accumulate and focus the energy of vibrations and amplify it". After these words, how can one not recall the works of the astrophysicist Nikolai Kozyrev and his experiments with concave mirrors. A feature of these mirrors is the "reflection" of physical time, they can also, like lenses, focus different types radiation, including those coming from biological objects. Or pay attention to the structure of the human eye. After all, he, perceiving light (also energy), converts it into an electrical signal, which the brain, in turn, analyzes and decodes.
It turns out that the brain can be compared to a device, a supercomputer that receives a signal from the outside at a certain frequency, processes it and converts it to frequencies understandable to our body, as part of the material world. It is worth clarifying that the owner of this “device” is the person himself as a Personality. And depending on the dominance of certain desires of the Personality, the brain can tune it to different frequencies. Give preference to (endow with the POWER of attention) negative energies (thoughts) or accept positive energies (thoughts) and strengthen them through your attention. As they say, everything is the choice of the owner of the device! And yet, according to the law of conservation of energy, it does not disappear anywhere, but only transforms from one state to another. From negative to positive and vice versa. This is done by the person himself, giving preference to certain states, life attitudes.
Vladimir Bekhterev made a huge contribution to the study of the functions and structure of the brain, proved and described in detail the possibility of thought transmission at a distance, i.e. mental suggestion ( "On experiments on mental influence on the behavior of animals" And "Suggestion and its role in public life"). But, despite this, he could not answer the question about the mechanism of the origin (appearance) of thought in the brain. And not only he, but also the current scientists have not yet done this. Perhaps because the root of this question is connected precisely with the energy structure of a person, and not the material one, which is the physical body, integral part which is the human brain. “After all, the thought is not visible. It cannot be weighed or touched, but it exists, since it has appeared in our minds. Thought has volume (at least informational). It is fleeting in its existence, because it is quickly replaced by other thoughts. Thought has no mass, but can have colossal consequences in the material world. Basically, it's nothing.", - AllatRa book.
But let us return to the question of the Personality of man. Giving the definition of the concept of "Personality" in his work "Personality and the conditions for its development and health", V.M. Bekhterev concludes: “... from an objective point of view, a personality is a mental individual with all its distinctive features - an individual who appears to be an independent being in relation to the surrounding external conditions”. The spiritual activity of a person, his spiritual life is a phenomenon that is absolutely unusual for the material world. Her secret lies beyond the visible.
But what happens to a human Personality when its bodily life ends? For millions of people not only in Eastern countries who know about the existence of reincarnation, this answer has long been known. They believe that after the death of the body Soul returns to some ideal world and after a certain stay there, again incarnates in a new body. The meaning of these numerous reincarnations is the acquisition of experience, the cultivation and strengthening of the spirit, the “maturation” of the Soul. Here we are talking about the Soul. But after the death of the body, all the accumulated information baggage ( life experience) remains with the Personality, according to Academician Bekhterev. But how is it connected with the Soul? And is it connected at all?
Beliefs about reincarnation have been known throughout the history of mankind - from ancient times (12 thousand years ago, given the decoding of rock signs - petroglyphs) to the present day. So were our ancestors stupid, believing in reincarnation, or vice versa, did they have primordial knowledge? V.M. Bekhterev, as a true scientist, was not afraid to study "prejudices" and "remnants of the past" and saw in all social phenomena rational seed. Therefore, these beliefs became for him the subject of deep study. He said: “The teaching of the East on the transmigration of souls, as it were, anticipated, for many centuries, the view, which in this respect is being created on the basis of strictly scientific data”. ("Immortality of the human personality as a scientific problem" V.M. Bekhterev). And then the scientist claims that “... the law on the circulation of energy is directly applicable to the phenomena of neuro- mental activity person." And concludes that “... perhaps the peoples of antiquity had a deep understanding of this law, and it was on its basis that the doctrine of the transmigration of souls was created”.
Perhaps these statements are the root of the question of immortality. Because in his reflections on reincarnation, the scientist, most obviously, gave the concept of "Soul" a shade of the concept of "Personality", i.e. as if, implying by these concepts one and the same phenomenon. But these phenomena are completely different, although interconnected. And this confusion in concepts is the same “old rake” that many philosophers stepped on in different times due to lack of knowledge. And if you look into the history of philosophy, you can be sure of this. There you can find that the very term “soul”, in the majority of reflections, is replaced by concepts that are diametrically opposed to the Soul: “mind”, “psyche”, the human “I”, “self-consciousness”.
And what happens? If we recognize the fact of the immortality of the Personality and its reincarnation in a new body, then it turns out that the Personality must have the knowledge and experience that was accumulated earlier. But this is not! Because a person starts life from a “clean slate”, that is, after incarnation in a new body, a new Personality is formed. What then happens during reincarnation? What is incarnated in a new body? And it is the Soul that incarnates in a new body, and not the Personality. Therefore, it is the Soul that is immortal! In order not to confuse this question I want to quote a few quotes from the book AllatRa. It contains very detailed information about what the Soul is.
So what is Soul? “The soul is true antimatter, a particle from the outside - from spiritual world, the peace of God. The soul is only a component of the human being. It is its main potential, a portal, a direct connection of each person with the spiritual world. It does not exist either in plants, or in animals, or in any other matter, including intelligent. The soul is introduced into the emerging energy structure of a person on the eighth day after the birth of the physical body (newborn). If you are guided by the structure of the physical body, then its approximate location is the area of the solar plexus, that is, the actual center of a person. But it is neither the solar plexus, nor the heart, nor any other physical organ or system, including neither the brain, nor the mind, nor consciousness, nor thinking, nor reason, nor mental faculties. All of the above is also neither a product nor a property of the Soul, it all refers to the material world. Surgical removal, transplantation of certain organs of the physical body (for example, the heart), or blood transfusion have nothing to do with the Soul. It is located in the human energy structure, and not in the physical part of this structure. A person has only one soul. She is one and indivisible. There is no difference between the Soul of a man or a woman, the Soul has no gender. The souls of all people are the same in nature. And in this sense, we can say that people are very close and related to each other. The soul is not matter, it does not wear out, does not grow old, does not get sick. It is perfect in relation to the material world, but not individually perfect in relation to the world of God. Due to repeated reincarnations in the material world, the Soul is burdened with information shells..
And what then is the Personality in the spiritual sense? « Personality— this is just the germ of the individual Consciousness of a possible future Spiritual Being. By itself, it does not represent anything spiritually. The soul contains great potential. But without the merging of the Soul with the Personality, this potential can be wasted". ("AllatRa").
What happens to the Personality if during the life of the body it has not merged with the Soul? And what are these information shells that burden the Soul? “When the physical body dies, the human being continues to exist. In the transitional state, it has a spherical shape with spiral structures (pictured). The Soul is enclosed in this formation along with its information shells - subpersonalities, i.e. Personalities from previous incarnations, including a Personality from a recent life".
Photo 1. The human soul is in a transitional state after the death of the physical body.
“…subpersonalities (there may be as many of them as there were rebirths of the Soul) are located near the Soul, they can be represented… in the form of “intelligent” nebulae. On the one hand, they are close to the Soul and experience the influence of this very strong anti-material structure, so to speak, the proximity of the "breath of Eternity", "the presence of a particle from the world of God." On the other hand, subpersonalities experience strong influence and the pressure of dense material structures of the Animal nature. That is, subpersonalities are in a squeezed state between two powerful forces of the spiritual and material worlds. They constantly experience this incredible pressure from both sides. So, each subpersonality becomes a kind of "light filter" on the way of realizing the connection of the current Personality with the Soul. The degree of "darkening" of such a "light filter-subpersonality" depends on the accumulated in its former life dominant life choices, preferences, sensory-emotional priorities. “The way these subpersonalities feel in the new Personality is, in the language of religion, a real “hell” for them. After the death of the body, the Personality, which becomes a subpersonality, acquires its own experience and understanding of what the material world really is, what the Soul is and what is its importance in a human being. But in the construction of a new body, the subpersonality is already in a desperate position of a shackled mind, which understands everything, experiences strong sensory-emotional pain, but cannot do anything, including transferring its experience to a new Personality. This is tantamount to the fact that you are locked in the body, but this body does not serve your consciousness, it does not obey and does not do what you order it to. That is, it does not serve you at all, it lives spontaneously. And you are aware of all this, but you can’t do anything, you just feel incredibly terrible pressure, again repeating the same mistakes of the new Personality and understanding your powerlessness to change the direction of the vector of vital energy consumption. ("AllatRa").
Thus, « subpersonality- this is just an information structure, an information wave, including, like the person himself .... The soul is what is real in a person, it is the main component on which the whole structure is focused! Everything else is just Additional Information for development, which, after the maturation of the spiritual Personality, its merger with the Soul (spiritual liberation), simply dedifferentiates, that is, ceases to exist as an organized structure.
Simply put, this information wave is destroyed, but in fact it passes into a different quality, because information is not destroyed as such.. ("AllatRa").
In further searches for answers to the main questions of life, we recommend reading the AllatRa book.

A black tunnel, at the end of which light is visible, the feeling that you are flying along this “pipe”, and something good and very important awaits ahead - this is how many of those who survived it describe their visions during clinical death. What happens at this time with the human brain? Is it true that the soul of a dying person leaves the body?
weigh the soul
Natalya Petrovna, where is the place of the soul - in the brain, spinal cord, in the heart, in the stomach?
It will all be fortune-telling on the coffee grounds, no matter who answers you. You can say - "in the whole body" or "outside the body, somewhere nearby." I think this substance needs no space. If it is, then in the whole body. Something that permeates the entire body, which is not interfered with by walls, doors, or ceilings. The soul, for lack of better formulations, is also called, for example, that which supposedly leaves the body when a person dies.
Are consciousness and soul synonyms?
For me - no. There are many formulations about consciousness, one worse than the other. Suitable and this: "Awareness of oneself in the world around." When a person comes to his senses after a faint, the first thing he begins to understand is that there is something nearby besides himself. Although in an unconscious state, the brain also perceives information. Sometimes patients, waking up, talk about what they could not see. And the soul... what the soul is, I don't know. I tell you how it is. They even tried to weigh the soul. Some very small grams are obtained. I don't really believe in it. When a person dies, a thousand processes take place in the human body. Maybe it's just thinner? It is impossible to prove that it was precisely the “soul that flew away”.
- Can you tell exactly where our consciousness is? In the brain?
Consciousness is a phenomenon of the brain, although it is very dependent on the state of the body. You can deprive a person of consciousness by pinching his neck artery with two fingers, change the blood flow, but this is very dangerous. This is the result of activity, I would even say - the life of the brain. So more precisely. When you wake up, at the same second you regain consciousness. The whole organism "comes to life" at once. It's like all the lights are on at the same time.
Sleep after death
What happens to the brain and consciousness in the moments of clinical death? Can you describe the picture?
It seems to me that the brain dies not when oxygen does not enter the vessels for six minutes, but at the moment when it finally begins to flow. All the products of a not very perfect metabolism “pile up” on the brain and finish it off. For some time I worked in the intensive care unit of the Military Medical Academy and watched it happen. The most terrible period is when doctors take a person out of critical condition and bring him back to life.
Some cases of visions and "returns" after clinical death seem convincing to me. They are so beautiful! Doctor Andrey Gnezdilov told me about one thing - he later worked in a hospice. Once, during an operation, he watched a patient who experienced clinical death, and then, waking up, told an unusual dream. Gnezdilov managed to confirm this dream. Indeed, the situation described by the woman took place at a great distance from the operating room, and all the details matched.
But this is not always the case. When the first boom in the study of the phenomenon of “life after death” began, at one of the meetings, the president of the Academy medical sciences Blokhin asked academician Arutyunov, who had twice experienced clinical death, what did he see. Arutyunov replied: "Just a black hole." What is it? He saw everything, but forgot? Or was there really nothing? What is the phenomenon of the dying brain? This after all is suitable only for clinical death. As for the biological one, no one really returned from there. Although some clergy, in particular Seraphim Rose, have evidence of such returns.
- If you are not an atheist and believe in the existence of the soul, then you yourself do not experience fear of death ...
They say that the fear of waiting for death is many times worse than death itself. Jack London has a story about a man who wanted to steal a dog sled. The dogs bit him. The man bled out and died. And before that he said: "People slandered death." It's not death that's terrible, it's dying.
Singer Sergei Zakharov said that at the time of his own clinical death, he saw and heard everything that was happening around, as if from the outside: the actions and negotiations of the resuscitation team, how they brought a defibrillator and even batteries from the TV remote control in the dust behind the cabinet, which he had lost the day before . After that, Zakharov stopped being afraid to die.
It's hard for me to say exactly what he went through. Maybe this is also the result of the activity of a dying brain. Why do we sometimes see the surroundings as if from the outside? It is possible that at extreme moments in the brain, not only the usual mechanisms of vision are activated, but also the mechanisms of a holographic nature.
For example, during childbirth: according to our research, several percent of women in childbirth also have a state, as if the “soul” comes out. Women giving birth feel out of the body, watching what is happening from the side. And at this time they do not feel pain. I don't know what it is - a brief clinical death or a phenomenon associated with the brain. More like the last one.
Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. A sad event for relatives. But what happens to the human Personality after the death of the physical body from the point of view of science? Yes, yes it is science, not religion. What happens to our knowledge, skills, sensations, emotions, thoughts, information about the world around us accumulated over a lifetime, that is, to our life experience? Does our life stop with the beating of the heart? If we turn with death only into lifeless matter, subject to decomposition, then what was life itself worth? Many complex and vital questions have been raised. But it turns out that they have scientifically sound answers!
What is the secret of immortality? The scientist suggested that the solution to this mystery is related to the structure and functions of the human brain. And so he devoted his whole life to studying it. In particular, he was interested in the process of thought formation. How does a person think? And what role does the brain play in these processes? This question may seem surprising. After all, many readers may be convinced that it is in the brain that our thoughts originate. But, in fact, not everything is so simple.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude: if “all the phenomena of the world”, including thought, are “derivatives of one world energy”, then the human brain is a material mediator between a person and the entire universe. Or more than that, the brain is not the source from which thoughts come, but rather a trap, transducer, store and repeater. Those. it can be figuratively compared with a radio receiver (which has the ability to operate at different frequencies) combined with a tape recorder that can record radio broadcasts and play them back. It should also be noted that the full potential of the human brain, as such a universal "device", is still far from being studied.
This information miraculously echoes what the modern writer A. Novykh writes in her book AllatRa. Here are a few quotes: “The brain is an intermediary between consciousness and the world.

It turns out that the brain can be compared to a device, a supercomputer that receives a signal from the outside, sounding at a certain frequency, processes it and converts it to frequencies that are understandable to our body, as part of the material world. The brain itself can generate only the simplest thoughts and also accumulate information in the form of experience - this is the essence of development, evolution. It is necessary to clarify that the owner of this "device" is the person himself. And depending on the desire, by the effort of personal will, a person, i.e. his Personality, can tune him to different frequencies. Give preference to (endow with the POWER of attention) negative energies (thoughts) or accept positive energies (thoughts) and strengthen them through your will. As they say - everything is the will of the owner of the device! And yet, according to the law of conservation of energy, it does not disappear anywhere, but only transforms from one state to another. From negative to positive and vice versa. This is done by the person himself, giving preference to certain states, life attitudes.
V. Bekhterev made a huge contribution to the study of the functions and structure of the brain, proved and described in detail the possibility of thought transmission at a distance, i.e. mental suggestion (“On experiments on mental influence on the behavior of animals” and “Suggestion and its role in social life”). But, despite this, he could not answer in detail the question of the mechanism of the origin (appearance) of thought in the brain. And not only he, but also the current scientists have not yet done this. Perhaps because the root of this issue lies precisely in the energy structure of a person, on which the material structure is based. Also because “After all, the thought is not visible. It cannot be weighed or touched, but it exists, since it has appeared in our minds. Thought has volume (at least informational). It is fleeting in its existence, because it is quickly replaced by other thoughts. Thought has no mass, but can have colossal consequences in the material world. In fact, it is Nothing,” from A. Novykh’s book AllatRa.
But let us return to the question of the Personality of man. Giving the definition of the concept of "Personality" in his work "Personality and the conditions of its development and health", V. Bekhterev does this based on the concept of "human relations": "... from an objective point of view, a personality is a mental individual with all its distinctive features - an individual appearing to be an independent being in relation to the surrounding external conditions. The spiritual activity of a person, his spiritual life is an energy phenomenon. And since the energy does not go anywhere, what happens to it? What happens to the human Personality when the bodily life is over? For millions of people not only in Eastern countries who believe in reincarnation from generation to generation for many thousands of years, this answer has long been known. They believe that after the death of the body, the Soul returns to some ideal world and, after a certain stay there, again incarnates in a new body. The meaning of these numerous reincarnations is the acquisition of experience, the cultivation and strengthening of the spirit, the “maturation” of the Soul. Here we are talking about Soul. But after the death of the body, all the accumulated information baggage (life experience) remains with the Personality, as the scientist claims. But how is it connected with the Soul? And is it connected at all?
Beliefs about reincarnation have been known throughout the history of mankind - from ancient times (12 thousand years ago, given the decoding of rock signs - petroglyphs) to the present day. So were our ancestors stupid, believing in reincarnation, or vice versa, did they have secret knowledge? V. Bekhterev, as a true scientist, was not afraid to study "prejudices" and "remnants of the past" and saw a rational grain in all social phenomena. Therefore, these beliefs became for him the subject of deep study. He said: "The teaching of the East on the transmigration of souls, as it were, anticipated, for many centuries, the view, which in this respect is created on the basis of strictly scientific data." (“Immortality of the human personality as a scientific problem” V. Bekhterev). And then Bekhterev claims that "... the law on the circulation of energy is directly applicable to the phenomena of human neuropsychic activity." And he concludes that "... perhaps the peoples of antiquity had a deep understanding of this law, and it was on its basis that the doctrine of the transmigration of souls was created."
It is in these statements that the root of the question of immortality lies. Because in his reflections on reincarnation, the scientist, most obviously, gave the concept of "Soul" a shade of the concept of "Personality", i.e. as if, implying by these concepts one and the same phenomenon. But these phenomena are completely different, although interconnected. And this confusion in concepts is the very “old rake” that many philosophers stepped on at different times due to a lack of Knowledge.

But this is not! Because a person starts life from a “clean slate”, i.e. after incarnation in a new body, a new Personality is created. What then happens during reincarnation? What is incarnated in a new body? And it is the Soul that incarnates in a new body, and not the Personality. Therefore, it is the Soul that is immortal!
In order not to confuse this issue, I would like to quote a few quotes from A. Novykh's book "AllatRa". It very intelligibly presents information about what the Soul is and what it is not.
So what is Soul? “The soul is a true antimatter, a particle from the outside - from the spiritual world, the world of God. The soul is only a component of the human being. It is its main potential, a portal, a direct connection of each person with the spiritual world. It does not exist either in plants, or in animals, or in any other matter, including intelligent.

And what are these information shells that burden the Soul? “When the physical body dies, the human being continues to exist. In the transitional state, it has a spherical shape with spiral structures (pictured). The Soul is enclosed in this formation along with its information shells - subpersonalities, i.e. Personalities from previous incarnations, including a Personality from a recent life.

And you are aware of all this, but you can’t do anything, you just feel incredibly terrible pressure, again repeating the same mistakes of the new Personality and understanding your powerlessness to change the direction of the vector of vital energy consumption. ("AllatRa").
In this way, “a subpersonality is just an information structure, an information wave, including, like the person himself…. The soul is what is real in a person, it is the main component on which the whole structure is focused! Everything else is just additional information for development, which, after the maturation of the spiritual Personality, its merging with the Soul (spiritual liberation), simply dedifferentiates, that is, ceases to exist as an organized structure.
Simply put, this information wave is destroyed, but in fact it passes into a different quality, because information is not destroyed as such. ("AllatRa").
As you can see, comments are unnecessary! So, LEARN AND THINK!

She stated publicly that she believes in prophetic dreams, life after death and alternative vision. It was a challenge to the respectable scientific community. Academician Bekhterev - and suddenly this?
She was pecked for "pseudo-science", blamed for an unhealthy interest in mysticism, paranormal phenomena, but she stood her ground - if the "mirror" exists, science has no right to ignore it. Her own experience said that it exists.
Natalya Petrovna was a person of amazing destiny. The granddaughter of the great scientist Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev should have had lifelong immunity against any adversity. And Natalya Petrovna got repressed parents, an orphanage and the blockade of Leningrad, a family tragedy, a struggle with fierce criticism.
Like a stubborn sprout, she pierced the asphalt into which they wanted to roll her up. She spoke about this in numerous interviews and in her book “The Magic of the Brain and the Labyrinths of Life”, one of the chapters of which she called Per aspera, which means “through thorns”.
“There is NO DEATH, LORD, IT CAN BE PROVED!”
She was born in the year of Lenin's death. Three years later, her famous grandfather, Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev, a psychologist and specialist in several more human disciplines, passed away. According to his son and granddaughter, Vladimir Mikhailovich was killed.
At one time, there was a widespread version that linked the murder of Bekhterev with the name of Stalin. Allegedly, Bekhterev, as a successful student of Charcot himself and the director of the Institute for the Study of the Brain and Mental Activity, was invited to examine Iosif Vissarionovich for dry hand.
Leaving the leader, Bekhterev seemed to tell someone that he was sick with paranoia. The academician's days were numbered.
However, Natalya Petrovna at first supported this version, and later rejected it. She explained: grandfather was a great scientist and doctor, who sacredly honored the laws of professional ethics and could not divulge the secret of the patient.
The best idea about Vladimir Bekhterev is given by his portrait by Ilya Repin. A white tunic, almost crackling on a wide chest, a thick spade of a beard, a gray-haired, but still powerful head of hair with a side parting, sharp deep-set eyes, an obvious power of character and destiny.
Igor Guberman, who once lived in the USSR, who wrote not only “gariki” on the table, but also published a book about Vladimir Bekhterev, spoke in it about the hero’s father and childhood: “The bailiff Bekhterev died of an evil consumption when his youngest son Vladimir was only eight years. He didn't even remember his father.
Only this petty village policeman, the king and god in his ok-ru-ge, was obviously not quite ordinary. An exiled Pole, a participant in the uprising of the 63rd year, continuously stayed in his house, feeding himself and escaping his anguish. It was he who taught literacy and arithmetic to the six-year-old son of his strange guardian and benefactor.
Remarkable strength was required to grow from the sons of a bailiff into academicians. Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev passed away at the age of 70, but even then he was full of energy, did not complain about his health, and shortly before that he married a second marriage to a young woman, at least in relation to the groom. That's when suspicion fell on her.
They met 30-year-old Berta when her husband was being treated by Bekhterev. The patient died, and when Bekhterev was also widowed, he proposed to Bertha. This happened 10 years after they met. Probably, Berta, like many others, was fascinated by the halo of an extraordinary thinker, a pioneer in the most intriguing field of knowledge dealing with the human brain and psyche.
Psychologist, psychiatrist, neuropathologist (this term was invented and introduced into medical use by Bekhterev, there is also a disease named after him, he was ill with it,
Grandfather of Natalia Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev - an outstanding psychiatrist, neuropathologist, physiologist, founder of reflexology and pathopsychological trends in Russia, founder of the St. Petersburg Psychoneurological Institute (1907)
for example, Nikolai Ostrovsky), Vladimir Mikhailovich mastered the art of hypnosis. He set up experiments on the transmission of thoughts at a distance together with the animal trainer Durov.
Small digression. Professor Leontovich also took part in the sessions, who then returned from Moscow to his native Kyiv, where he became an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. The views of Bekhterev and Leontovich had a great influence on Bernard Kazhinsky, who became the prototype of one of the heroes of the science fiction book by Alexander Belyaev "The Lord of the World".
Bekhterev's ideas are mentioned twice there. Kazhinsky's work "Biological Radio Communication", dedicated to Leontovich, was published for the only time in Kyiv.
And Bekhterev in one of his scientific works- "The Secret of Immortality" concluded: thought is material and is a kind of universal energy, therefore, in accordance with the law of conservation of energy, it cannot disappear.
It sounded at the height of the First World War, when human life was not worth a pinch of tobacco and people no longer understood why they were dying if everything was decided by a stupid bullet. Bekhterev proclaimed: "There is no death, gentlemen, it can be proved!" He returned faith in the meaningfulness of life and, therefore, responsibility for actions.
It was Bekhterev who introduced the concept of a psychic microbe capable of leading to psychic pandemics. “It is enough for someone to arouse base instincts in the crowd, and the crowd, united due to lofty goals, becomes in the full sense of the beast, the cruelty of which can surpass any possibility.”
Western intelligence agencies were very interested in the work and personality of Bekhterev. In Berlin and Paris, the intelligence departments brought registration cards to him. In the USSR, as some researchers believe, they tried to involve Bekhterev in the creation of weapons, which in our time would be called psychotropic. He refused.
According to a family legend, voiced by Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva, Berta poisoned her grandfather, following an order from above. The academician turned out to be objectionable because, while examining the brain of the deceased Lenin, he came to the conclusion that the leader of the proletariat suffered from syphilis.
On the day of her grandfather's death, little Natasha encountered a strange coincidence for the first time. On December 24, 1927, her parents were decorating the Christmas tree. Father put Father Frost and three candles under the branchy branch. Admiring the composition, he said to his wife: "Look how Santa Claus looks like his father." At that moment the phone rang: Vladimir Mikhailovich died suddenly.
The official cause of death was food poisoning. There is a photograph in which the head of Bekhterev lying in a coffin is tied with a white scarf. She hid the consequences of a trepanation of the skull. Shortly before his death, the scientist himself came up with the idea to create a Pantheon of the brain of great people. “And fate decreed with its characteristic irony,” wrote Igor Huberman: the brain of its creator was the first to be in the museum.
Many years later, Natalya Petrovna asked where her grandfather's brain was kept. She was told that they had cut him all over for drugs a long time ago, but they did not find anything special that distinguishes the brain of an outstanding scientist from ordinary people.
“DAD IS DIFFICULT TO STAND ON FEET, HE FALLS AND I WAKE UP WITH A SCREAM”
Total prophetic dreams Natalya Petrovna dreamed of four in her life. The first - in the 37th, about the father.
Pyotr Vladimirovich Bekhterev, the son of Vladimir Mikhailovich, inherited his father's inquisitive mind, but he chose an engineering profession, was engaged in the development military equipment. He was often rewarded, and it seemed that an eternal holiday reigned in the house.
All of a sudden - horrible dream: “Dad is standing at the end of the corridor, for some reason very poorly dressed, in something old, summer, as if in canvas shoes.
And dad even at home dressed well, although differently than at work. And suddenly the floor begins to rise, exactly from the end where dad stood .... And under the floor - fire, and flames - on the sides of the corridor. It’s hard for dad to stand on his feet, he falls - and I wake up screaming. ”
The next night, Natasha woke up from the noise: they came for dad. He never returned home. The family was told - 10 years without correspondence. They didn't know what it really meant yet.
Soon they took my mother to the camp. They said for five years, it turned out eight. Much later, Natalia Petrovna was shown the arrest list, her name was next to her mother's. But she was only 14 years old, and the children's colony was replaced by an orphanage.
Even relatives turned away from Natasha, her brother and sister, the children of "enemies of the people". Much later, Natalya Petrovna will appreciate their betrayal as a boon. At least she didn't know what it's like to be a homemaker. And the mental anguish from a misfortune that had befallen would be the same in a family of callous people, as in an orphanage, where newly arrived children cried before going to bed, covering themselves with blankets with their heads - it was not allowed to cry out loud.
“And every night I fell asleep with the thought that tomorrow cheerful dad and mom would come, take my brother and me home, and everything would be fine again. And my kind, talented and innocent dad has already been shot.”
In the orphanage, two roads opened in front of Natalya. One is to go to work at a brick factory after the seven-year period, where they “corrected the minds” of the children of “enemies of the people”. The second is by all means to be an excellent student, the best of the best. Natasha did not want to go to the brick factory.
In the orphanage, she learned that the war had begun. Its inhabitants were loaded into wagons, but it was not possible to evacuate, Leningrad had already fallen into the iron ring. The train circled and circled around the city, miraculously managing to escape from the bombardments, and returned to where it came from.
In the orphanage, they somehow fed, so it was better there than in the wild, where hunger and cold mowed down entire families. However, the orphans also suffered. The former, beloved, director went to war and died, and another was put in his place, who turned out to be a sadist.
Before each meal, the new director of the orphanage lined up the children on a ruler and demanded that the food be thoroughly chewed until it turned into a frozen lump. Natalya Petrovna admitted that even 10 years after the end of the war she could not eat her fill, she was tormented by phantom hunger.
“BEKHTEREVA WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO SEE THE BRAIN ON THE SCREEN AND WAS AWESOME”
Despite all the horror of the blockade existence, she managed to enter the medical institute. I remembered not so much the frost of that winter as the icy wind.
Every time, approaching the bridge, where there was no escape from the wind, I wanted to turn back, get under the covers and never leave the house again. But she reached the middle of the bridge, and there it became all the same - to go forward as much as back, so she went forward.
The end of the war and the flowering of bright hopes for cloudless happiness coincided for Natalya with great love. But the man who inspired this feeling in her, as acquaintances said, still loved the other, who died at the beginning of the war. Natasha began to be burdened by relationships with her beloved. After all, it turned out that he kept her with him as a replacement. She wanted to leave, he didn't let go.
Once in a dream, Natalya went to the house where they grieved for his former lover. It turned out that the culprit of grief was sitting at the table as if nothing had happened and drinking tea. “I am happy to turn to her:“ Hello, Tatiana (for some reason I call her that), sorry, I don’t know your patronymic. Answer: Alekseevna. Saying goodbye, does not get up. Again (this is all in a dream) I go to bed.
Then (already awake) I wake up, I run to tell the news that Tasya is alive - I don’t doubt it for a minute - and I find Tasya in exactly the same position, in the same white dress, as in a dream. “Hello, Tatiana (why Tatiana again?), I’m sorry, I don’t know your patronymic.” - Alekseevna.
We shake hands. T.A. does not get up. And then I find out that she is nine months pregnant. I run away very happy.” After the foreshadowing of the Pope, it was the second prophetic dream of Natalya Petrovna, one in one realized in reality.
She gnawed the granite of science easily, like nuts, and entered graduate school without much difficulty. Then there was a "thaw". She brought the rehabilitation of mom and dad and the bitter knowledge that all the years she dreamed of meeting him, he, shot shortly after his arrest, lay in the damp earth.
She greedily pounced on the work, progress began in many directions. But the “freezes” brought disappointment and anonymity. The party commission of the regional committee was engaged in it. Natalya Petrovna did not tell about the essence of the accusations - why replicate slander?
And then in the regional committee she was indignant, because even Tsar Peter ordered that anonymous letters not be allowed to go through. In response, they promised to turn Bekhterev into camp dust. They knew which string would resonate with particular pain in it.
Fortunately, no matter how hard the biased commission tried, they did not find facts confirming the anonymous accusations. Exhausted, Natalya returned to work, the scar in her soul remained for life.
Natalya Petrovna's parents, Zinaida Vasilievna (doctor) and Pyotr Vladimirovich (engineer-inventor), were repressed: their father was shot, their mother was sent to a camp
At the time of Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev, scientists were only approaching the secrets of the brain. Previously, it was thought of as a monolith, not amenable to study. Or as a “divine vessel”, to encroach on the study of which is sacrilege. The feat of scientists of the Bekhterev generation was that they removed this taboo.
At the time of Bekhterev's granddaughter, science was equipped with tomographs and other miracle devices - it is clear that this required a different level of knowledge and skills. Natalya Petrovna was one of the first to see the brain on the screen and admired it. “I admit that some younger employees from the neurophysiological laboratories and the PET laboratory (positron emission tomography. - Auth.) go to the institute as a regular service ... It's a pity if this is so ... Surprise at the miracle of nature - the human brain, gradually being learned through ever-evolving technology, and the ideas illuminating the brain of a scientist - a great, stimulating joy in life.
Once upon a scientific conference Raisa Gorbacheva dropped by. A philosopher by education, she listened with great interest to Bekhtereva's report, then sat down with her in the hall, they talked for a long time, as a result, the Institute of the Brain of the USSR Academy of Sciences appeared in Leningrad with a clinic attached to it, which brought healing to many. Ankylosing spondylitis learned to help people in cases that were considered hopeless before them, restored memory, the ability to move, speak, read. Natalya Petrovna, who has become the director of the institute, will write that what she once dreamed of came true - about the Castle of her Dreams.
She and her staff managed to break through to many secrets. She wrote over four hundred scientific papers, received recognition from world-famous colleagues, became an order bearer and a member of many foreign academies. At the same time, she was an atypical scientist, and, for example, the hypothesis that the super-complex mechanism of intelligence has alien origin, was closer to her than the accepted statement about his earthly evolution.
"THE TRUTH OF THE BRAIN AND THE LIFE OF SOCIETY, APPEARS TO BE UNITED"
The more Bekhtereva studied the brain, the more confidently she came to the conclusion: “The truth of the brain and the life of society, apparently, is one.” A well-functioning brain is like a well-ordered society. Particularly relevant is her assertion that for a harmonious existence, society and the brain must distribute part of the powers to the periphery according to the principle of optimal decentralization.
Natalya Bekhtereva became very popular during the perestroika years. The daughter of the repressed, who herself almost ended up in the Gulag, she wholeheartedly wanted changes for the better, she knew how to speak convincingly and without regard to critics. When they attacked her: “Do not stick your nose into state affairs,” she answered: “Who knows exactly what and how to do it? At least I have a model – a brain.”
Many people remember their own prophetic dreams, which at first they did not attach importance to, and then they were surprised that they came true. But there is a persistent opinion that all this is fiction, superstition. In order not to get hung up on the incomprehensible, the people came up with the excuse "sleep - and dream." The current view of the mystery of dreams is simple: during sleep, the brain continues to process information received during the day. Dot. Many do not dream at all, there are such lucky ones. Academician Bekhtereva had prophetic dreams.
Once it was a dream about my mother, whom Natalya Petrovna sent with a reliable escort to the Krasnodar Territory to rest, breathe clean air, and eat fruit. Letters came from there, from which the daughter learned that her mother's health was satisfactory.
Suddenly, in a dream, the postman brought a telegram: “Your mother is dead. Come to bury." In a dream, the daughter rushed to the funeral, arrived, was surrounded by strangers, whom for some reason she called by name.
Everything looked shockingly real. I woke up in tears and told the dream to my husband. He was skeptical: "Do you, a specialist in the field of the brain, believe in dreams?" Anxiety did not let her go, she wanted to run away on a plane, but her acquaintances, whom she told about the dream, persuaded her not to believe. She was ashamed of her "unscientific" nature and did not go.
“Well, after 10 days everything happened exactly as it was in my dream. And down to the smallest detail. For example, I forgot a long time ago the word
Natalya was the daughter of "enemies of the people", grew up in an orphanage, survived besieged Leningrad, graduated from the 1st Pavlov Leningrad Medical Institute
"village council", it was simply never needed. In a dream, I was looking for the village council, and in reality I had to look for it - that's the story.
Bekhtereva did not dismiss the opportunity to look into the "mirror", as she called the strange, inexplicable phenomena associated, in her opinion, with the activity of the brain. Having visited Bulgaria with scientific lectures, she wished to meet Vanga. At the Sofia Documentary Film Studio, she was shown a film about the famous soothsayer, so Natalya Petrovna was prepared for the meeting.
The car stopped before reaching the line stretching to Vanga's house. Natalya Petrovna, surrounded by colleagues, walked along the soft dust of a country road. They were neither heard nor seen from the house. We got to the end of the line. A cry came from the house: “I know that you have arrived, Natalya, come to the fence, do not hide behind a man!” Natalya Petrovna was not surprised: Vanga must have been informed of her arrival.
The meeting began with embarrassment: Bekhtereva did not bring a piece of sugar with her, which, as Vanga demanded from all visitors, had to be kept with her for a day.
Vanga was unhappy. But either sugar is still not such an obligatory receptacle of information, or the clairvoyant had other ways of unraveling the Russian that was sitting in front of her, but Bekhtereva was forgiven.
She handed Vanga a luxurious Pavlovsky Posad scarf in a plastic bag, she took it out, stroked it and said disappointedly: “But you didn’t touch him at all ...”. That is, the hope for this source of information was not justified either. Suddenly she said: “Now your mother has come. She is here. Wants to tell you something. And you can ask her.
Natalya Petrovna got ready to hear some reproach. From the film she had seen in Sofia, she knew that the dead usually blame living relatives for something. "No. She's not angry with you," Vanga said. "It's all sickness," she says, "it's all sickness." And then Natalya Petrovna died. Mom really often uttered this very phrase: "It's all a disease, it's all a disease." No one could tell this to Vanga, except ... Then Vanga made a gesture with trembling hands, showing what her mother was sick with. Yes, Natalya Petrovna agreed, she suffered from parkinsonism.
Vanga continued: mother asks her daughter to go to Siberia. Natalya was surprised: to Siberia? What is there to do? She has no friends or relatives in Siberia.
It seems that Vanga did not shock Bekhtereva, like many other visitors, with clairvoyance, but she definitely interested her. When Natalya Petrovna returned to Leningrad, an invitation to Siberia was waiting on the table. They asked me to come to the readings dedicated to Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev.
“NATALIA PETROVNA HOPED THIS IS ANOTHER ALIK’S HORROR STORY — HE HAVE TALKED ABOUT SUICIDE BEFORE, BUT EVERYTHING WAS CORRECTED”
And in that meeting, Vanga said to Natalya Petrovna: “Something I see your husband very badly, as if in a fog. Where is he?". - In Leningrad. - "In Leningrad ... yes ... I see him badly, badly." Perhaps it should have been understood as "I see something bad."
The second marriage of Natalya Petrovna with Ivan Ilyich Kashtelyan was not easy. “Late home is a small tragedy, a big delay is a disaster. I perceived it as a huge inconvenience, then as oppression, then as a difficulty. high order". She complained that the warmth that she received for the first time in her life did not compensate for the infringement of freedom. It got to the point that she developed hypertension, and along with taking the pills, drowsiness, which increased the feeling of discomfort. She closed herself, spent more time at the desk.
And then there was harassment in the newspapers, a frequent occurrence in the late 80s, when the country was divided by ideological barricades. The most annoying thing is that the authors of many articles were former friends.
The husband insisted that Natalya Petrovna give battle. I had to take this overwork which led to mental and moral exhaustion. “Sleep began to literally dump me as soon as I entered the house. And it seemed: not much more - and I would fall asleep and not wake up ... My husband, on the contrary, felt good, kept telling me: "Give up your useless business, and you will rest, you will be like me." This is in the evenings. And in the morning he was again a warm friend - and his support was enough for several hours of work and a very unusual and very offensive defense.
But all these experiences turned out to be a prelude to what happened next. Alik, the son of Ivan Ilyich from his first marriage, “was infinitely beloved and very difficult. Handsome, capable doctor, married, had a son. Drugs..."
That day, he called to say goodbye, saying that he would take potassium cyanide. Father's strength left, Natalya Petrovna went to Alik's apartment, accompanied by her employee Raisa Vasilievna.
Natalya Petrovna hoped that Alik was once again frightening, he had spoken of suicide before, but everything worked out. She knocked for a long time, called someone to bring the keys, and later scolded herself: she should have immediately broken the door. Finally, entering the apartment, she found Alik in a noose. Ivan Ilyich called, she, shocked, said it like it was.
When Natalya Petrovna and her friend returned home, seemingly calm Ivan Ilyich brought a sliced watermelon from the kitchen and put it on the table. “It seems to me that he only gradually became aware emotionally of what he already knew. Half an hour or an hour later - it's hard for me to say how much time has passed - the husband almost calmly said that he was going to sleep. I lay down - and after four or five hours we urgently called the doctors, but the doctors could not help. Looking back, I understand that I could have saved him only by putting him in intensive care immediately upon arrival from Alik. However, nothing foretold a terrible ending.
She was tormented by the fact that she had not helped either Alik or her husband, who had hoped so much for her. “Right on the melting snow stands a strangely dressed man and, eye to eye, looks at me. I know him too well, but it just can't be. Never".
After the double funeral, things began to happen around her that she herself would never believe in, believing that she had become a victim of mirages of a sick imagination. But there was a witness nearby - Raisa Vasilievna.
Both of them distinctly heard footsteps in the room when no one else was there. Another time, Natalya Petrovna, washing herself in the bathroom, again heard someone coming towards her, got frightened, called Raisa, she did not answer, but the steps began to move away. “When I came out six or eight minutes later, R.V. said to me: “Why did you just go out? Why didn't they answer me?" And she added that she was sitting with her back to the “steps”, and she experienced a strange feeling: it was difficult for her to turn to “me”. She tried to speak to "me", but "I" did not answer. This story made a very strong impression on both of us, the impression of someone's presence.
A large portrait of her husband hung in the bedroom. Natalya Petrovna talked to him for a long time, as if he were alive. Once he and Raisa Vasilievna entered the bedroom and froze: a large tear flowed from Ivan Ilyich's right eye. Not believing themselves, they turned on the light. The tear continued to roll.
Natalya Petrovna tried to critically comprehend what she saw: “I conditionally enter this “strange” phenomenon in the “mirror”. I had a fear of late arrival, although, unfortunately, there was no one to be afraid of. And in this situation, I could take some feature of the portrait for a tear ... Yes, but why did it seem to me that the tear was moving? Because tears usually move? Here, I don't rule it out.
And why, after all, R. V. also said about tears? Now this is more difficult for a simple explanation. And yet the rule: where you can at least assume a conventional mechanism, not “behind the looking glass,” it is to accept it. And in this case, it is likely.
I should have calmed down, but I couldn't. Soon, accidentally looking out the window, she saw: “Coming down from the curb, right on the melting snow, stands a strangely dressed man and, eye to eye, looks at me. I know him too well, but it just can't be. Never".
She called Raisa Vasilievna into the room, but did not say why. She suddenly looked out the window: “Yes, this is Ivan Ilyich standing there! .. Didn’t you recognize him ?!” Natalya Petrovna, of course, found out.
With a son from his first marriage. Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich Medvedev — Director of the Institute of the Human Brain, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences
She was never a primitive materialist in the spirit of "Marxist-Leninist teachings." But where she could, she resisted her “through the looking-glass”, attributed visions-hearings to hallucinations against the background of an altered state of consciousness due to the tragedy that had piled on. But how then to be with the same "hallucinations" at Raisa Vasilievna? Natalya Petrovna admitted that her emotional state caused a similar reaction in her (recall Bekhterev's "mental microbe"). And yet she asserted: “And now, after many years, I can’t say: it didn’t happen. Was".
In the same mournful days, she dreamed that she met her husband under the windows of their house. Nearby on a bench lay a pile of sheets written on a typewriter. We talked for a long time about different things. Then: “I ask: “But how did you come? Are you dead?" - "Yes, he died, it was very necessary - they let him go." “What about where you are?” I ask. "Nothing". “But you can’t come from nothing.” “You'll find out later. You never had time for me, you didn't need me." - "How? I love you so." He: “But I’m not talking about that, I didn’t have time, I managed on my own, I didn’t ask. Now, do you understand everything?”
She woke up in horror and realized that she had missed something most important, that for which he came, for which he was released. The next day, before going to bed, she prayed: “Come and explain.” He came: “An empty three-room apartment. A smiling I.I. walks along it. In his hands he has sheets of typewritten text. He hugs me tenderly: “Well, don’t you understand? You know, the manuscript did not have time to publish, you did not read it, you did not have time for me. Do your best!"
Bekh-te-re-va simply did not know about the existence of this manuscript. Probably pride, which she did not have the strength to calm down, did not allow him to attract the attention of his wife to his great work.
Natalya Petrovna rummaged through Ivan Ilyich's papers and found a pile of typewritten sheets. I gave it to the publisher, they printed it. She was pleased: "The book came out good." The fourth prophetic dream came true.
“I KNOW HOW DANGEROUS TO MOVE INTO THIS “LOOKING LOOK”
"Strange" phenomena further undermined her health. Under the pretext of sleep disorders, she asked for a privileged hospital, she had the right to do so as a People's Deputy of the USSR. The daily routine, water procedures benefited her. “They treated a suffering woman,” she ironically.
But the longing did not let go, and Natalya Petrovna went to church. After a 15-minute conversation with the priest, the depression stopped. And every time she overtook her again, the priest took her off. “Truth is truth, and why should I, who have been looking for (and not always finding) the truth of nature all my life, lie when it comes to myself (and, in general, also nature)? What I write here is unlikely to glorify me, but I would be in conflict with my sense of duty and conscience if I did not tell this truth.
Natalya Petrovna already understood how risky it was to be interested in "behind the looking-glass". But I decided to meet in the USA with the clairvoyant Andersen. Vladimir Pozner undertook to organize their meeting, who had already interviewed Andersen and learned a lot of things that he had no idea about, but which later found confirmation.
Natalya Petrovna really wanted to find out if this Andersen was a charlatan, and if not, then whether he was somehow connected with the “mirror”. But her confessor advised against it, fearing that after the shocks she had endured, she would not be able to withstand this meeting.
A little over 10 years ago, a new wave of criticism rolled in. The head of the fight against pseudoscience of the Russian Academy of Sciences, physicist Eduard Kruglyakov, called Bekhterev among the authoritative people who do not reject what they do not approve official science. It was said about the Ministry of Defense (works with sorcerers), the Ministry of Emergency Situations and Shoigu personally (uses the services of astrologers), Bekhtereva was accused of interest in the phenomenon of alternative vision.
Natalya Petrovna answered immediately: “The academic physicist considers it possible for himself to criticize a physiological article without appeal. Note: published not just anywhere, but in the reviewed respected journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Human Physiology” - an article that went through all the procedures required in such cases ... Several years ago, people who claimed the ability to see blindfolded applied to the Institute of the Human Brain of the Russian Academy of Sciences. ..
Of course, the simplest answer would be that we are engaged in high scientific problems and we are not interested in amateurs. However, many years of experience in studying the human brain taught us to respect its capabilities ... We invited the guys and asked them to complete the tasks we developed ... Result: 100 percent correct answers! Thus, we have established that the phenomenon exists, and although much remains unclear, it is interesting to do and it should be investigated.
Academician Bekhtereva understood that, despite the significant successes of her beloved science, it was not possible to offer not only a theory, but even a plausible hypothesis of how the brain works. For example, it has been found that it processes the received information at a gigantic speed, and the existing technique fixes too slow interaction of neurons. So, she thought, the brain had properties that had not yet been discovered.
Summing up her observations of herself, of her dreams and visions, she wrote: “I know how dangerous it is to move into this “mirror”. I know how to calmly remain on the broad road of science, how the “citation index” rises in this case, and how the danger of trouble is reduced - in the form of devastating, annihilating criticism ... But it seems to me that everyone on earth, to the best of his ability, should do your duty." And now, when it comes to Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva, you can hear: yes, an outstanding scientist, no doubt, but why did she get into mysticism?
But the thing is, when ordinary people talk about "strange" phenomena and predictions, they can be believed or not believed. More often they are not believed, sometimes they are correct: charlatans love to frolic in the field of the little-known. But Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva's “mirror-like” experience is hard to ignore - her honesty, human and scientific authority are undeniable.
And it has always been so. There was always someone with open eyes, for whom there were no dogmas prescribed once and for all, and who exclaimed: “But it still spins!”. And it turned out that she really spins ...
The great Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva visited the Looking Glass of Science. She looked beyond those limits where it is not given to look at a person. And this is what came out of it...
Academician Russian Academy Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva has been studying the human brain all her life. A simple enumeration of all her titles, degrees, diplomas, government awards and awards takes up a whole page and is a natural consequence of her genius.
This Bekhtereva created modern science O human brain, discovered where creative thinking hides, figured out how memory works, found a “error detector” that controls our behavior, was not afraid to confess faith in God and looked into the Looking Glass of Consciousness, where our dreams live and our souls stay forever.
autumn dream
I grew up at home as a child, brought up by Bonne, wore velvet dresses, pigtails with pretzels. The most vivid impression of childhood is that dad sits down at the piano in the evening, and my girlfriend and I waltz to the unforgettable “Autumn Dream” to the point of dizziness. Dad was handsome, talented, sang beautifully, always dressed impeccably, both at work and at home. He loved me very much - just like that, unconditionally. And she guided me through life - my mother.
I remember well how I, still very small, about three years old, went for a walk with her by the hand. I recently learned something new beautiful word“Technical school” and I say: “I will grow up and will study at a technical school,” and my mother immediately strictly corrects “Which technical school? You go to college, everything is easy for you. Only to the institute, you will receive higher education and become a scientist.
I grew up and memorized the story of my great-grandmother, who, due to extreme family poverty, decided to learn only one of three children, Volodya, the most intelligent. Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev came out of it (the famous Russian psychiatrist and neuropathologist who diagnosed Stalin with paranoia and died under mysterious circumstances a few days later. - Approx. Author). I also had a younger brother and sister. And my mother sent only me into science, and in plain text - “you will be a scientist”, and that’s all. So she knew what she was talking about!
My happy serene childhood collapsed overnight. True, before that there was a dream - one of the four prophetic dreams that I saw during my life. I dreamed that dad was standing in the corridor of our apartment, and suddenly the floor under his feet rises, flames burst out from under the floorboards, and he falls into the fire. The next morning he was arrested. Mom was sent in a common car to the camp. Me and my brother Andrey - to the orphanage, because all the relatives turned away from us, as if from the plague.
Kur tu teci, kur tu teci, gailit' mans?
My brother and I were lucky twice - firstly, we stayed in St. Petersburg, but could have ended up somewhere in Ivanovo, and secondly, we ended up in a good orphanage, the backbone of which was made up of children from Latvia and an amazing director from there - Arkady Kelner, together with which in the evenings we learned the song about the cockerel, which remained forever in our memory.
And if my mother imprinted the goal of life in the matrix of my memory - to get an education, then Arkady Isaevich taught me to achieve goals, raised pride and inspired self-esteem - something that, it would seem, would never be instilled in an orphanage. He literally hurt himself into a cake, if only the pupils did not have two identical dresses or coats, miserable things that bear the stamp of poverty.
One day, all our girls were given bright orange dresses to work in the workshops, and the next day we put on bright new clothes for school - we didn’t wear uniforms then. My God, how our beloved director yelled at us for this undemanding, primitive sameness, and especially I got it - the best student of the school dared to set an example for others and dress up in a "shelter" so that everyone would feel sorry for us, it's like the stigma of "orphans" on herself put. I still Orange color if it's not an orange, hate it.
I have a very extensive business correspondence. And only four addresses out of several dozen belong to my personal recipients. One of them is Erika Leonidovna Kalnina, a friend from the orphanage. Our beds were side by side, and she tried to teach me how to make my bed neatly. It didn't work out. But how many times she saved me from catching up and being late for breakfast! Now I can not make the bed for at least a week so that my beloved cat basks in it. And Erica's kindness remained with me forever - like a bright ray from those distant days.
