"The information underlying Iissiidiology is designed to radically change your entire current vision of the world, which, together with everything that is in it - from minerals, plants, animals and humans to distant Stars and Galaxies - is in fact an unimaginably complex and an extremely dynamic Illusion, no more real than your dream today."

Once upon a time, an article appeared on the Internet"The Universe as a Hologram" , based on materials from the book "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. Having read deeper into the article, I found that the author's views on the structure of the world around us and man very closely echo those of Iissiidiological. Iissiidiology has similar views on almost all the problems and issues of modern science and medicine touched upon in the article (starting with ideas about elementary particles and ending with the structure and functionality of our brain, DNA, the nature of our mental reactions).

Quick reference:

Holographic Universe (

The book is based on the hypotheses of two prominent modern scientists - the pioneer of quantum physics David Bohm, a student and follower of Einstein, and the famous neurophysiologist Karl Pribram. They came to the conclusion that the entire material world, from snowflakes and electrons to baobabs and shooting stars, does not have its own reality, but is a projection of the deepest level of the universe. The Universe - and this is confirmed by a number of serious studies - is a giant hologram, where even the tiniest part of the image carries information about the overall picture of being, and where everything, from small to large, is interconnected and interdependent. According to many modern scientists and thinkers, the holographic model of the universe is one of the most promising pictures of reality that we have at our disposal today.

A striking similarity between Michael Talbot's ideas and the Iissiidiological ones! Judge for yourself:

Imagine a fish swimming in an aquarium. Imagine also that you have never seen a fish or an aquarium before and that the only information about them you get through two television cameras, one of which is directed at the end of the aquarium, and the other looks from the side. If you look at two television screens, you can mistakenly assume that the fish on the screens are different. Indeed, since the cameras are placed at different angles, each of the images will be slightly different. But as you continue to watch the fish, you eventually realize that there is some connection between them. If one fish turns, the other makes a slightly different, but synchronous turn. If one fish is shown in front, another is shown in profile, etc. If you are not familiar with the general situation, you may mistakenly conclude that the fish coordinate their movements instantly, but this is not the case. There is no instant connection between them, because at a deeper level of reality - the reality of the aquarium - there is one, not two fish. This, Bohm points out, is exactly what happens to particles...

Bohm argued that this is exactly what happens to elementary particles in Alan Aspect's experiment. According to Bohm, the apparent superluminal interaction between particles tells us that there is a deeper level of reality hidden from us, higher dimensional than ours, as in the aquarium analogy. And, he adds, we see the particles as separate because we only see a part of reality. Particles are not separate "parts" but facets of a deeper unity that is ultimately holographic and invisible. And since everything in physical reality consists of these "phantoms", the universe we observe is itself a projection, a hologram.

Iissiidiology also considers any elementary particle, like any other Self-Consciousness, as a sloogrent (or, in other words, holographic) "part" of a much more global Collective Consciousness of a higher dimensionality, differentiated into an infinite number of "smaller" ingredients in a less qualitative dimensionality range. By the way, the example with an aquarium and a fish is a good, albeit greatly simplified, illustration of such a concept in Iissiidiology as sloogrenity- a quality that absolutely everything in the Universe around us has, including itself.

If the holographic model of the brain by Karl Pribram is associated with David Bohm's theory, then an amazing aspect will come to light. If the visible physical density of the world is only a secondary reality, and what is "out there" is really only a holographic set of frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and only selects some frequencies from this set and mathematically converts them into sensory perceptions, what is left to the share of objective reality?

Let's put it simply - it ceases to exist. As Eastern religions have been saying for centuries, the material world is Maya, an illusion, and although we may think that we are physical and move in physical world, this is also an illusion. In fact, we are swimming in a kaleidoscopic sea of ​​frequencies, and everything that we extract from this sea and turn into physical reality is just one frequency channel out of many, extracted from a hologram.

According to Iissiidiology, the materiality surrounding us is not some kind of objective reality, but is formed subjectively by the Form-Creators of each Self-Consciousness on the "screen" of its Perception system. Indeed, we manifest in some narrow frequency, so called in Iissiidiology: the frequency of manifestation, which is a unique characteristic of each Form-systems of the Worlds. Indeed, in the Universe there is no physical movement or movement of matter - only refocusing, a kind of reconfiguration of Self-Consciousness to a slightly different frequency of perception of the surrounding reality, which corresponds to a slightly different arrangement of the objects around us.

From the site http://www.agharta.net :

The holographic paradigm also leaves its mark on the so-called exact sciences, such as biology. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, has shown that if reality is just a holographic illusion, then one can no longer argue that consciousness is a function of the brain. Rather, on the contrary, consciousness creates the presence of a brain - just as we interpret the body and our entire environment as physical.

This reversal of our views of biological structures has allowed researchers to point out that medicine and our understanding of the healing process may also change under the influence of the holographic paradigm. If the apparent physical structure of the body is nothing more than a holographic projection of our consciousness, it becomes clear that each of us is much more responsible for our health than modern medicine believes. What we are now seeing as a mysterious cure could in fact be due to a change in consciousness that made appropriate adjustments to the hologram of the body.

But the most revolutionary conclusion that can be drawn based on the ideas presented in this material, and which for some reason the authors did not make, is our absolute, real and unconditional Immortality! We live forever, never, under any circumstances, dying. If we deeply realize this truth, feel it, our worldview and our attitude to many negatively viewed events, dangers, and fears will change. Cardinally and in much better side our lives will change!

Or rather, it has already changed, in our near future, existing "in a single Moment of Eternity" together with us. The above and other conclusions are considered in much more detail in the books of O. Oris "Fundamentals of Iissiidiology" and the series of books "Immortality is available to everyone. Comments on the Fundamentals".

We now have new scientific data of great importance for the future. They are able to completely turn our ideas about the human psyche, its pathology and the prospects for treatment. Some of these findings go beyond psychology and psychiatry in their significance and challenge the entire Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm that underlies Western science. They can radically change our understanding of human nature, culture and history, and of reality itself.

Dr. Stanislav Grof

about holographic phenomena in the book "Journey in search of yourself"

In the Star Wars movie, the adventures of the protagonist, Luke Skywalker, begin with the moment a robot, wielding a beam of light, creates a miniature three-dimensional image of Princess Leia in the air. Luke looks spellbound at a ghostly creature calling for help from one Obiwan Kinobi. Such an image is called a hologram - a three-dimensional image built using a laser. The technology of its creation, one might say, borders on a miracle. But even more stunning is the hypothesis of some modern scientists, according to which our universe itself is like a colossal hologram. In other words, they believe that the world we live in may actually be an amazingly subtle and complex illusion, no more real than the image of a princess in a movie that captivates the protagonist.

Indeed, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it, from snowflakes and maple leaves to electrons and comets, are just ghostly projection pictures projected from some level of reality that is far away. outside our ordinary world - so far away that the very concepts of time and space disappear there.

The main creators of this amazing idea are two outstanding thinkers of our time: David Bohm, professor at the University of London, Einstein's favorite student, one of the most prominent experts in the field of quantum physics - and Karl Pribram, neurophysiologist at Stanford University, author of the book "Languages ​​of the Brain" - classic work on neuropsychology. Working in different fields of science, Bohm and Pribram came to similar conclusions. Bohm became an adherent of the holographic theory of the universe after being disillusioned with conventional theories that were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the phenomena of quantum physics. Pribram became convinced of the validity of this theory after he understood much the same about the generally accepted theory of the brain, which is just as unable to solve many neurophysiological mysteries.

However, after Bohm and Pribram became convinced of the validity of the holographic theory of the universe, they saw that this theory could shed light on many other mysteries found in nature: for example, explaining the ability to guess the direction of a sound to those who hear only in one ear, or , say, our ability to instantly recognize a familiar face after many years, even if the familiar face has changed "beyond recognition".

But the most striking thing about the holographic model of the universe was that it suddenly revealed the nature and mechanics of many phenomena that had previously eluded explanation, such as telepathy, predictions, a mystical sense of unity with the universe, and even psychokinesis, that is, the ability of the psyche to move physical objects at a distance.

More and more scientists are convinced that with the help of a holographic model it is possible to explain almost all paranormal phenomena and any mystical experience; in recent years, we have witnessed a significant expansion of research in this area. The following examples can be given.

In 1980, at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Kenneth Ring used a holographic model to interpret the phenomenon of near death. Ring, who is elected president of the International Association for the Study of Near-Death Phenomena, believes that such an experience, and death itself, is nothing more than a transfer of human consciousness from one level of holographic reality to another.

Michael Talbot (1953-1992), an Australian native, was the author of numerous books highlighting the parallels between ancient mysticism and quantum mechanics and supporting the theoretical model of reality that the physical universe is like a giant hologram.

Is there an objective reality, or is the Universe a fantasy?

In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris, a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect carried out what could be one of the most significant experiments of the 20th century. Aspect and his team have found that, under certain conditions, elementary particles, such as electrons, can instantly communicate with each other, regardless of the distance between them. It doesn't matter if it's 10 feet (1 foot = 30.48 cm) between them or 10 billion miles (1 mile = 1,609.344 meters). Somehow each particle always knows what the other is doing.

The problem with this discovery is that it violates Einstein's postulate about the limiting speed of interaction propagation, equal speed Sveta. Because the journey faster speed light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this frightening prospect has led some physicists to attempt to explain Aspect's experiments in complex workarounds. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.

For example, University of London physicist David Bohm considered that Aspect's discovery implies that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent density, the universe is basically a fantasy, a gigantic, luxuriously detailed hologram.

To understand why Bohm came up with such a startling conclusion, we need to talk about holograms.

A hologram is a three-dimensional photograph taken with a laser. To produce a hologram, the subject to be photographed must first be illuminated by laser light. Then the second laser beam, adding up with the reflected light from the object, gives an interference pattern that can be recorded on the film. The finished picture looks like a meaningless alternation of light and dark lines. But as soon as the image is illuminated with another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object immediately appears.

Three-dimensionality is not the only remarkable property inherent in a hologram. If a rose hologram is cut in half and illuminated with a laser, each half will contain a whole image of the same rose in exactly the same size. If we continue to cut the hologram into smaller pieces, on each of them we will again find an image of the entire object as a whole. Unlike a conventional photograph, each area of ​​the hologram contains information about the entire subject, but with a proportionally corresponding decrease in clarity.

The principle of the hologram "everything in every part" allows us to approach the issue of organization and order in a fundamentally new way. For almost its entire history, Western science has evolved with the idea that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether it be a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its constituent parts. The hologram has shown us that some things in the universe cannot be explored in this way. If we dissect something arranged holographically, we will not get the parts of which it consists, but we will get the same thing, but with less accuracy.

This approach inspired Bohm to reinterpret Aspect's work. Bohm was sure that elementary particles interact at any distance, not because they exchange some mysterious signals with each other, but because their separation is illusory. He explained that at some deeper level of reality, such particles are not separate entities, but are actually extensions of something more fundamental.

To better understand this, Bohm offered the following illustration.

Imagine an aquarium with fish. Imagine also that you cannot see the aquarium directly, but only two television screens that transmit images from cameras located one in front and one on the side of the aquarium. Looking at the screens, you can conclude that the fish on each of the screens are separate objects. Since the cameras transmit images from different angles, the fish look different. But as you continue watching, after a while you will find that there is a relationship between the two fish on different screens. When one fish turns, the other also changes direction, slightly differently, but always in line with the first; when you see one fish in front, the other is certainly in profile. If you do not have a complete picture of the situation, you are more likely to conclude that the fish must somehow instantly communicate with each other than that this is a coincidence.

Bohm claimed that this is exactly what happens to elementary particles in the Aspect experiment. According to Bohm, the apparent superluminal interaction between particles tells us that there is a deeper level of reality hidden from us, higher dimensional than ours, as in the aquarium analogy. And, he adds, we see the particles as separate because we only see a part of reality. The particles are not separate "parts" but facets of a deeper unity that is ultimately as holographic and invisible as the rose mentioned above. And since everything in physical reality consists of these "phantoms", the universe we observe is itself a projection, a hologram.

In addition to being "phantomous", such a universe could have other amazing properties. If the apparent separation of particles is an illusion, then at a deeper level, all objects in the world can be infinitely interconnected. The electrons in the carbon atoms in our brains are connected to the electrons in every swimming salmon, every beating heart, every twinkling star. Everything interpenetrates everything, and although it is human nature to divide everything, dismember, sort out all the phenomena of nature, all divisions are necessarily artificial, and nature ultimately appears as an unbreakable web. In the holographic world, even time and space cannot be taken as a basis. Because a characterization like position makes no sense in a universe where nothing is really separate from one another; time and three-dimensional space, like images of fish on screens, will need to be considered nothing more than projections. At this deeper level, reality is something like a super-hologram in which the past, present and future exist simultaneously. This means that with the help of appropriate tools, it may be possible to penetrate deep into this super-hologram and extract pictures of a long-forgotten past.

What else a hologram can carry is still far from known. Suppose, for example, that a hologram is a matrix that gives rise to everything in the world, at least it contains all the elementary particles that have taken or will someday take on any possible form of matter and energy, from snowflakes to quasars, from blue whales to gamma rays. It's like a universal supermarket, which has everything.

While Bohm admitted that we have no way of knowing what else the hologram holds, he took the liberty of asserting that we have no reason to assume that there is nothing else in it. In other words, perhaps the holographic level of the world is just one of the stages of endless evolution.

Bohm is not alone in its quest to explore the properties of the holographic world. Regardless of him, Karl Pribram, a neuroscientist at Stanford University who works in the field of brain research, also leans towards the holographic picture of the world. Pribram came to this conclusion by pondering the mystery of where and how memories are stored in the brain. Numerous experiments over decades have shown that information is not stored in any particular area of ​​the brain, but is dispersed throughout the entire volume of the brain. In a series of crucial experiments in the 1920s, brain researcher Karl Lashley found that no matter which part of the rat's brain he removed, he could not make the conditioned reflexes developed in the rat before the operation disappear. The only problem was that no one had been able to come up with a mechanism to explain this funny "everything in every part" property of memory.

Later, in the 60s, Pribram encountered the principle of holography and realized that he had found the explanation that neuroscientists were looking for. Pribram is sure that memory is contained not in neurons and not in groups of neurons, but in a series of nerve impulses that “entangle” the brain, just as a laser beam “entangles” a piece of a hologram containing the entire image. In other words, Pribram is sure that the brain is a hologram.

Pribram's theory also explains how the human brain can store so many memories in such a small space. It is assumed that the human brain is able to remember about 10 billion bits in a lifetime (which corresponds to about the amount of information contained in 5 sets of the Encyclopædia Britannica).

It was found that another striking feature was added to the properties of holograms - a huge recording density. By simply changing the angle at which the lasers illuminate the film, many different images can be recorded on the same surface. It has been shown that one cubic centimeter of film can store up to 10 billion bits of information.

Our uncanny ability to quickly retrieve the information we need from our vast memory becomes more understandable if we accept that the brain works like a hologram. If a friend asks you what comes to mind when you hear the word "zebra," you don't have to rote through your entire vocabulary to find the answer. Associations like "striped", "horse" and "lives in Africa" ​​appear in your head instantly.

Indeed, one of the most amazing properties of human thinking is that each piece of information is instantly and cross-correlated with any other - another quality inherent in the hologram. Since any section of the hologram is infinitely interconnected with any other, it is quite possible that it is the highest natural example of cross-correlated systems.

The location of memory is not the only neurophysiological puzzle that has become more solvable in light of Pribram's holographic model of the brain. Another is how the brain is able to translate such an avalanche of frequencies that it perceives with various senses (light frequencies, sound frequencies, and so on) into our concrete idea of ​​the world. Encoding and decoding frequencies is exactly what a hologram does best. Just as a hologram serves as a kind of lens, a transmission device capable of turning a seemingly meaningless mishmash of frequencies into a coherent image, so the brain, according to Pribram, contains such a lens and uses the principles of holography to mathematically process frequencies from the senses into the inner world of our perceptions.

A lot of evidence suggests that the brain uses the principle of holography to function. Pribram's theory is finding more and more supporters among neuroscientists.

The Argentine-Italian researcher Hugo Zucarelli has recently extended the holographic model to the realm of acoustic phenomena. Perplexed by the fact that people can determine the direction of a sound source without turning their heads, even if only one ear works, Zucarelli found that the principles of holography could explain this ability as well.

He also developed holophonic sound recording technology capable of reproducing soundscapes with near-uncanny realism.

Pribram's idea that our brains mathematically construct a "hard" reality based on input frequencies has also received brilliant experimental support. It has been found that any one of our sense organs has a much larger frequency range of receptivity than previously thought. For example, researchers have found that our organs of vision are sensitive to sound frequencies, that our sense of smell is somewhat dependent on what is now called "osmotic frequencies", and that even the cells of our body are sensitive to a wide range of frequencies. Such findings suggest that this is the work of the holographic part of our consciousness, which transforms separate chaotic frequencies into continuous perception.

But the most startling aspect of Pribram's holographic brain model comes to light when it is compared with Bohm's theory. Because if the visible physical density of the world is only a secondary reality, and what is "out there" is actually only a holographic set of frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and only selects some frequencies from this set and mathematically converts them into sensory perception, what remains for objective reality?

Let's put it simply - it ceases to exist. As Eastern religions have been saying from time immemorial, the material world is Maya, an illusion, and although we may think that we are physical and move in the physical world, this is also an illusion.

In fact, we are "receivers" floating in a kaleidoscopic sea of ​​frequencies, and everything that we extract from this sea and turn into physical reality is just one frequency channel out of many, extracted from a hologram.

This striking new picture of reality, a synthesis of the views of Bohm and Pribram, has been called the holographic paradigm, and while many scientists have been skeptical about it, others have been encouraged by it. A small but growing group of researchers believe that this is one of the most accurate models of the world yet proposed. Moreover, some hope that it will help solve some mysteries that have not been previously explained by science and even consider the paranormal as part of nature.

Numerous researchers, including Bohm and Pribram, conclude that many parapsychological phenomena are becoming more understandable in terms of the holographic paradigm.

In a universe in which the individual brain is actually an indivisible part, a "quantum" of a large hologram and everything is infinitely connected to everything, telepathy may simply be reaching the holographic level. It becomes much easier to understand how information can be delivered from consciousness "A" to consciousness "B" at any distance, and to explain many mysteries of psychology. In particular, Grof foresees that the holographic paradigm will be able to offer a model for explaining many of the puzzling phenomena observed by people in altered states of consciousness.

In the 1950s, while researching LSD as a psychotherapeutic drug, Grof worked with a patient who suddenly became convinced that she was a female prehistoric reptile. During the hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed description of what it is like to be a creature with such forms, but also noted the colored scales on the head of a male of the same species. Grof was struck by the fact that in a conversation with a zoologist, the presence of colored scales on the head of reptiles, which plays an important role in mating games, was confirmed, although the woman had no idea about such subtleties before.

This woman's experience was not unique. During his research, Grof encountered patients returning up the ladder of evolution and identifying themselves with the most different types(on their basis, the scene of the transformation of a man into a monkey in the film "Altered States") is built. Moreover, he found that such descriptions often contain little-known zoological details that, when verified, turn out to be accurate.

Return to animals is not the only phenomenon described by Grof. He also had patients who, apparently, could connect to some kind of area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe collective or racial unconscious. Uneducated or poorly educated people suddenly gave detailed descriptions of funerals in Zoroastrian practice or scenes Hindu mythology.In other experiences, people gave convincing descriptions of out-of-body travel, predictions of pictures of the future, events of past incarnations.

In more recent studies, Grof found that the same range of phenomena appeared in drug-free therapy sessions. Since the common element of such experiments was the expansion of individual consciousness beyond the usual limits of the ego and the boundaries of space and time, Grof called such manifestations "transpersonal experience", and in the late 60s, thanks to him, a new branch of psychology called "transpersonal" psychology appeared, entirely devoted to this areas.

Although the Association for Transpersonal Psychology, created by Grof, was a rapidly growing group of like-minded professionals and became a respected branch of psychology, neither Grof himself nor his colleagues for many years could offer a mechanism to explain the strange psychological phenomena they observed. But this ambiguous position has changed with the advent of the holographic paradigm.

As Grof recently pointed out, if consciousness is actually part of a continuum, a labyrinth connected not only to every other consciousness that exists or has existed, but to every atom, organism, and vast region of space and time, its ability to randomly tunnel through the labyrinth and experience the transpersonal the experience no longer seems so strange.

The holographic paradigm also leaves its mark on the so-called exact sciences, such as biology. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, has shown that if reality is just a holographic illusion, then one can no longer argue that consciousness is a function of the brain. Rather, on the contrary, consciousness creates the presence of a brain - just as we interpret the body and our entire environment as physical.

This reversal of our views of biological structures has allowed researchers to point out that medicine and our understanding of the healing process may also change under the influence of the holographic paradigm. If the apparent physical structure of the body is nothing more than a holographic projection of our consciousness, it becomes clear that each of us is much more responsible for our health than modern medicine believes. What we are now seeing as a mysterious cure could in fact be due to a change in consciousness that made appropriate adjustments to the hologram of the body.

Likewise, new alternative therapies, such as imaging, may work so well precisely because in holographic reality, thought is ultimately as real as "reality."

Even revelations and experiences of the “other world” become explicable from the point of view of the new paradigm. Biologist Lyall Watson in his book "Gifts of the Unknown" describes a meeting with an Indonesian female shaman who, performing a ritual dance, was able to make an entire grove of trees instantly disappear into the subtle world. Watson writes that while he and another surprised bystander continued to watch her, she caused the trees to disappear and reappear several times in a row.

Although modern science unable to explain such phenomena, but they become quite logical if we assume that our "dense" reality is nothing more than a holographic projection. Perhaps we can formulate the concepts of "here" and "there" more precisely if we define them at the level of the human unconscious, in which all consciousnesses are infinitely closely interconnected.

If so, then this is the most significant implication of the holographic paradigm in general, as it means that the phenomena observed by Watson are not public only because our minds are not programmed to trust them, which would make them so. In the holographic universe, there are no limits to the possibilities for changing the fabric of reality.

What we perceive as reality is just a canvas waiting for US to put on it any painting we wish. Everything is possible, from bending spoons at will to the phantasmagoric experiences of Castaneda in his studies with don Juan, because magic is given to us by birthright, no more and no less wonderful than our ability to create new worlds in our dreams and fantasies.

Of course, even our most "fundamental" knowledge is suspect, because in a holographic reality, as Pribram showed, even random events must be considered using holographic principles and resolved in this way. Synchronicities or coincidences suddenly make sense, and anything can be considered a metaphor, since even a chain of random events can express some kind of deep symmetry.

Whether the holographic paradigm of Bohm and Pribram gains mainstream scientific acceptance or fades away, it is safe to say that it has already influenced the way of thinking of many scientists. And even if it is found that the holographic model does not adequately describe the instantaneous interaction of elementary particles, at least, as Birbeck College London physicist Basil Hiley points out, the discovery of Aspect "showed that we must be ready to consider radical new approaches to understanding reality."

I heard a message about this discovery from one smart person around 1994, however, in a slightly different interpretation. The experience was described as follows. The flow of elementary particles passed some way and hit the target. In the middle of this path, some characteristics of the particles were measured, obviously those whose measurement does not significantly affect their further fate. As a result, it was found that the results of these measurements depend on what events happen to the particle in the target. In other words, the particle somehow "knows" what will happen to it in the near future. This experience makes one seriously think about the legitimacy of the postulates of the theory of relativity in relation to particles, and also remember about Nostradamus...

A rejected princess, a wingless poet, and a bronze-skinned alien from another world - each of them finds himself an exile in his homeland. To return the lost, they have to go between the dark worlds. Dear, where at every turn they are guarded by death. Where people turn into monsters. Where it is easy to get lost among false mirrors. And there is only one choice: pass or die.

Chapter first. Golden City

If you look at Altanhot from a bird's eye view, the geometric accuracy with which the city was built immediately catches your eye. In the center is the palace of the ruler, resembling the disk of the sun. Streets radiate from it. In one of the worlds of the Darklands, there is a saying: "All roads lead to Rome." And in Altanhot they know: the pink marble building is the center of the world. After all, it is there that the lady of the Golden City lives - another name for Altanhot.

The Golden City has a silver queen. Möngere has been ruling for five years now, since she legally took the throne carved from the tusks of extinct giants. Their bones are occasionally found in the desert, when the greedy sands give way to the pressure of the wind. Most of it is for sale in neighboring cities, but part of the tusks settles in Altanhot and serves as a decoration for the chambers of the ruler. After all, Mengere is the living embodiment of the Moon, the daughter of a silver dragon and a priestess of the Temple.

The Temple of Heavenly Bodies is located near the palace. After all, it is he who supplies the queens to the Golden City. Elections are held every five years. Girls from twelve to sixteen years old get a chance to take the throne of Altanhot. But not all, but only the most beautiful - pupils of the Temple. The girls are gathered in the palace, the ruling queen becomes next to them - at that moment she becomes equal with others. Only perfection serves as a pass to further power.

There were many queens in Altanhot, but there were few living incarnations of the Moon. Möngere is the second during the existence of the city. So, she is destined to rule happily ever after, preserving her youth until her death. And the daughter of the moon dragon will live a very long time - with the beauty of her father, his longevity was also transferred to her.

Mengere went up to the shiny plate and meticulously examined herself: at tomorrow's test, she had nothing to fear. The skin is so thin that it seems that under it you can see water network veins. And so light that the color resembles vesniki - flowers growing in the heart of the desert. Those are even whiter than ancient bones, over which sand and wind have worked for centuries. In the moonlight, the skin begins to shimmer dimly, once again proving the connection of the ruler with heavenly body. Her hair, a shade of darkened silver, rains down to the floor, and huge purple eyes are like ink diluted with water. Recently, semi-precious stones, amethysts, were brought to the palace. The queen ordered to make earrings out of them - to emphasize the color of the eyes.

Möngere's lips are slightly plump. To the best of my ability. The ruler is perfect: thin arms, graceful feet, long legs, narrow waist. With all her appearance, she resembles a porcelain figurine: beautiful and fragile. There is no one more beautiful in the Golden City. And soon everyone will be convinced of this again. And the unlucky pretenders will forever hide their faces with a thick cloth and go to serve in the Temple of Heavenly Luminaries.

It is even strange that it was her mother, from the outcast losers, who received the attention of the moon dragon. The legends tell of dragons, solar and lunar, which sometimes visit the Earth in human form. Mengere clapped her hands, a maid immediately ran up to her, who had previously been hiding behind a column so as not to offend the queen's gaze with her imperfect appearance.

“I want to hear the tale of dragons,” the ruler ordered.

The maid bowed, sat down at the feet of Mengere, and began to speak.

Once upon a time, when there was neither night nor day, there were spouses: the Moon and the Sun. All the time in the sky they spent hand in hand. There was no more loving couple in the world until a quarrel happened between them. Somehow a gray bird, a magpie, flew into the house of the spouses. For a long time she twirled next to them, groaned and gasped, and then said:

So the Moon and the Sun live, not seeing each other. Night reigned with the Moon, and where the Sun is, there is day. In memory of the past, the moon becomes full every four weeks. And then, day after day, it melts, from pain and bitterness. And the magpie, which caused the quarrel, changed color to black and white, like night and day. And everyone knows: magpies cannot be trusted.
