Question: Dear teacher!For a very long time I have been trying to find an answer to a child’s, but an adult question: who, when and at what epoch, introduced such characters as “Emelya the Fool”, “Ivan the Fool” into Russian folk tales? Why Russian Ivan was called a fool? Indeed, in any fairy tale of the world, except for ours, Slavic, there is no concept "Ivan the Fool."
Through centuries and millennia, derivatives of these tales have come down to us - a multitude of folk sayings and proverbs, which speak of our foolishness.
It should be emphasized that the essence of the word "fool" is quite interesting. The philistine mindset is inclined to determine that the FOOL is a stupid, unintelligent, foolish, foolish, holy fool ..., that is, an ignorant person. But the sound construction of the word is deeper, it says that it is Du Dalizm of Ra, that is, the Division of a single on Du is two opposites.
...
Intuition suggests that "Ivan the Fool" was named in the ancient period, when a separation occurred in the human soul: he began to think one thing, say another, and do the third. He lost integrity, integrity, unity. Ivan renounced spiritual interrelation, from the vertical Spirit - Soul - Father, and, having closed his development on the material horizontal (material Body), he became Ivan the Fool.
And today we see how three Slavic brothers (Ukraine-Russia-Belarus) continue to dwell in the essence of their ancient foolishness, but in the form of civilized ignoramuses, leaderism ...
And it will be as long as their soul, the essence of the Russian Spirit, their co-message (the message of our consciousness), does not wake up, so that the material Body becomes one with Spirit, soul, and Father in development.
Teacher, tell me, who were those wise ones who foresaw the separation of Ivan and gave him the name Ivan the Fool? (Alexander)
Answer: The question of the deep essence of the famous character of folk tales of Ivan the Fool. Indeed, in fairy tales lies hidden wisdom, knowledge, information that must be removed from them, revealed, which are interwoven, figuratively speaking, like a golden thread in a common, sometimes coarse canvas. And this golden thread, which contains the main essence of the narration, consists of important facts and actions - so the information level is intertwined with the everyday, understandable for many.
You know the saying: "A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows." This hint must be identified, and if this happens, then you will be able to grasp the edge of the guiding thread, which was once woven into the oral narrative. Let's try to grab the edge of this thread.
Typically, the story begins with the designation of time, place and the main characters of the tale. In the family, the main character of which is the younger brother Ivan, two more brothers are usually indicated for comparison. These brothers, according to popular authors, live like everyone else, that is, they do not differ from their relatives. They do everything that the parent says, work hard, and therefore have the mind that allows them to rank as normal, intelligent. One brother stands out for his "abnormal", according to most, behavior - usually does not do what others do at this time, a lot of time, as the narrative says, spends on the stove. But later, usually, it turns out that this particular Ivan, called a fool, knows how to act in many situations, finds the right solution and, in most cases, has inner spiritual qualities and knowledge much greater than his smart brothers. He succeeds in what many only guess, he can do what his smart brothers can not, he often has the best spiritual qualities - kindness and compassion.
So who is Ivan the Fool? Who is hiding, or who is being hidden, in this image? And what is the meaning of this image?
This topic is very important, and it, in fact, helps to look into the soul of the Slavic peoples. You know that there was a period on Earth when people had a connection with the planet through the Spirits of Nature, elementals. Everything on the planet was perceived as alive, filled with life. In the history of many peoples there is information about these important periods.
Such an important period is in the development of the Soul of the whole nation. The Slavs, like no other people on Earth, entered into close communication, interaction with the Spirits of Nature, the elementals that are associated with the planet and are its creatures. These Spirits interacted with people in such a way that they took care of them. They helped to survive, they helped to live wisely. They helped to know that all life has a different level of consciousness, and therefore is capable of recognition, communication. The spirits of the earth served people, and people honored them with love and respect. The Earth flourished, for in the name of life all living things interacted. Knowing the names, the sound code, it was possible to interact with the Forces of Nature. It was possible to obtain what was necessary for a prosperous life from the natural environment, without experiencing the need for anything. This was the plan of God the Creator - bringing this world to the state of Paradise.
Paradise on Earth is a state of prosperity, the flourishing of all living things, finding its place in the common canvas of life.
And what does the hero of fairy tales, nicknamed Ivan the Fool, have to do with it? - you ask.
Ivan the Fool is a person who has preserved a memory that was erased by the majority in a certain period. But still and at that time children came into the world with an open memory. They know a lot, they know. They do not resign themselves to much that does not correspond to their knowledge. Usually they seek to revive, to restore their true place, their role, using lost ancestral knowledge for most. Ivan the fool in fairy tales usually reaches the goal and becomes what many would like to be. So who is Ivan the Fool? Each of you will reveal your answer, each will find his / her reasons. Everyone will look for that hint that will open the answer to a question. But my answer may be unexpected for everyone.
