"Russian Dreams" George Shishkina - the Cathedral of Monaco

[tchaika]

"Our soul has only recently awakened from a long period of materialism carries within itself the germ of despair - a consequence of disbelief, meaninglessness and purposelessness. It is not quite past the nightmare of materialist views, has made the life of the universe evil aimless game. Awakening the soul is still living under the strong influence of this a nightmare. Only a faint light flickers like a lone tiny dot on a huge black circle. This little light is the only aspiration of the soul and the soul to see it still lacks the courage, and she doubted whether this is not the world - a dream, and the circle of blackness - the reality . This question, as well as depressing meal - a consequence of the philosophy of materialism - strongly differentiates our soul. In our minds there is a crack, and the soul, if it can affect, sounds like a cracked precious vase found in the depths of the earth.
After going through a period of materialistic temptations, which the soul seemed to give in, but still shakes it off as an evil temptation, she gets revived after a struggle and suffering. More elementary feelings - fear, joy, sadness, etc. - Which, even in this period, the temptation could be the content of art, little attraction for the artist. He will try to awaken a more subtle, as yet unnamed feelings. He himself lives difficult, comparatively subtle life, and created by him certainly awaken in the ability to more subtle emotions of the viewer, are not amenable to expression in our words.

Uncertainty emerges out its sharp corners. First, there are eyes that can see yourself, there are heads that are capable of comparisons. These gifted people are asking themselves every day before yesterday wisdom was overthrown yesterday, and yesterday - today, it may be, and modern wisdom would be wiped out tomorrow. And the most daring of them answered: "It is quite possible".

Second, there are eyes that can see what is "not yet explained" by modern science. These people are asking themselves the question: "Will modern science to the way in which it has for so long is moving to solve these riddles? And when it comes to dealing with them, can I rely on her answer?".

On the other hand, are growing increasingly becoming famous or facts which science has welcomed yesterday's familiar with the word "sell." Various scholars, among whom are pure materialists, dedicate their strength scientific investigation of mysterious facts that can not be longer than either deny or suppress.

Multiplying the number of people who do not place any hope on the methods of materialistic science in matters relating to anything that is not a matter, or anything that is not available senses. These people are turning to half-forgotten times, with their half-forgotten methods, there to find help. These methods, however, is still alive among the nations to which we, with the height of our knowledge, accustomed to look with pity and contempt. These people include, for example, the Indians, who from time to time in our culture portrayed scientists puzzling facts, facts that are or are not paying attention or of which, as from annoying flies, tried to brush off surface words and explanations.

Wassily Kandinsky, "Concerning the Spiritual in Art"

Добавлено через 9 часов 28 минут
When shaken religion, science and morality and external foundations totter, a man turns his gaze inward from the outer self.

Literature, music and art are the first, the most sensitive areas where this turn to the spiritual becomes noticeable in a real form. These areas are turning away from the soul the devastating contents of modern life and turn to the subjects and surroundings, giving free outcome intangible aspirations thirsty soul.

Word is the inner meaning. Skillful use of the word (in agreement with the poetic feeling) - internally necessary to repeat two, three, several times, may not only lead to an increase in the internal sound, but to identify other unknown spiritual properties of the word. "Pure" sound of the word appears in the foreground and directly affects the soul. The soul comes into a state of purposeless vibration, which is even more complicated, I would say, more "supersensible" than psychic vibrations caused by the bell ringing string ... And word has two meanings in this way, the first - the direct and the second - an internal, is a pure material of poetry and literature, material that can be applied only to the art and through which it says the soul.

In a more highly developed beings and things are intrinsic value and, finally, begin to sound internally. So it is with color.
Color is a tool that can directly affect the soul. The artist gives a vibration the human soul. "

And the color, which itself is material for counterpoint, which is itself fraught with boundless opportunities to lead, in conjunction with the drawing to a great counterpoint painting, which will give her the opportunity to come to the track, and then the painting as a truly pure art, will serve as a divine . And at this dizzy height of its infallible head erect - the principle of internal necessity!

The inner necessity arises for the three mystical reasons. It is created by three mystical necessity:
1) Every artist, as creator, must express what is peculiar to him (individual item),
2) Every artist, as a child his age should express what is inherent in this period (an element of style in the internal sense, consisting of language and the language of the era of their own nationality while nationality exists as such),
3) Every artist, as a servant of art, must give that peculiar art in general (an element of pure and eternal art, which passes through all the people across all nationalities and across all ages, this element can be seen in art holding each artist, each nation and every age, as the main element of art, he knows no space or time).

Why do you charge here about the Prince of Monaco Albert II?

It always turns out unintentionally . But, by the way, we are talking about people who patronize the arts and artists privechayut . I wonder what they are , what other priorities. That Prince of Monaco was an extraordinary man ...
And then, why in this controversial error (if error) such a long ban?

[tchaika]

I noticed that Catholics imbued with orthodoxy, somewhat inclined to it, recognizing the right.

Catholic priest of the cathedral is now troeperstiem baptized by an Orthodox, and explains it this way: "because God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit." And at the service entrance to the cathedral they have placed a reproduction of "Trinity" by Andrei Rublev.

It happens that the Catholics to Orthodoxy and begin to visit the Russian church. So one of our French friend from Cannes Christiane, having lived in Russia for about a year in the early 90's husband at work (he was involved in publishing matters), converted to Orthodoxy.

In the Russian Church in Mentone (Menton, southern France), I noticed an old man of the congregation: a noble face, white beard, like Turgenev. "Probably from the old Russian" - I thought. His image attracts the eye, admired.
Another time we were looking at Mentone an address. I will never forget this vstechi. Go down the street ... meet us - the very old. I turned to him in Russian. He stopped and asked me in French: "Why did you come to me in Russian? I - a Frenchman." "I saw you in the Russian Church," - I replied. He said: "If you have a little time, I'll try to explain. When I was born, I was baptized as a Catholic. As an adult, I began to doubt. I read a lot of thought and came to the conclusion that The Russian Orthodox Church is closest to the truth ". Well said! This struck me. Imagine hearing this from a Frenchman!
He continued: "I became Orthodox. And go to service in the Russian Church." I asked him: "You, perhaps, it is difficult - because the service is conducted in Russian." He said: "I teach Russian language, something did get it. I like to listen to the music of the Russian language. I love it when the choir sings." That is such a wonderful meeting.

That's what I wrote Father John of Kronstadt (Sergiev):

"The Orthodox Church superior to all non-Orthodox churches: first, his truth, his orthodoxy, to be met and conquered by the blood of the apostles, bishops, martyrs, saints and all the saints, and secondly, that the surest way leads to salvation (flat, straight and the right way), which clears the right way, sanctifies, renews through the hierarchy, worship, sacraments, fasts, and thirdly, that teaches the best way to please God and save his soul, the best guide to repentance, correction, prayer, thanksgiving, thanksgiving. - Where there are prayer, praise, thanksgiving and petition, a wonderful divine service, as in the Orthodox Church? Nowhere.

In our worship of the Orthodox Church, every believer is clear and attentive, and keenly felt the idea that all believers on earth - the pastors and congregation, and the sky St. Saints of God - from the Mother of God - the Church is united, united house of God, one body, whose head of the Lord Jesus Christ and the soul - the Holy Spirit himself, animated, enlightening, purifying and strengthening all lived on the land of the members of this great body. Outside the Church there is no salvation, no spirit of grace.

In the Church, expressed the spirit of God's love to people in the pastoral, in the homeland and sonship (spiritual fathers, children of the spiritual). Strictly necessary to keep this spirit of pastors and the flock, not us, shepherds, Pacem - and himself heavenly Father feedeth through us, we must remember his heavenly homeland, to which must strive to lead the faithful to whom should the church ministry. The Lord is my shepherd, and the void will deprive me (Psalm 22, 1).

Encompassing, neotpadayuscha love the Church, and the coffin care about us. Where is it in other non-Orthodox churches? Human weakness, blindness, limited, human passions are affected in the churches fallen away. Lutherans do not pray for the dead - Anglicans, too.

Ardent life-giving to pray to the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Holy helmsman. Church of Christ, but breathes the spirit of love into the hearts of all Christians and all light will illuminate to his, to know the truth of God and Christ, to the mutual connection, to reject all heresies and schisms, to the ruin of all parties, public, opposing each other.

When you begin to pray prayers to the Holy Spirit, know and remember that the Holy Spirit came into the world on the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ, and acts in the world, especially of those in His Church, and makes our salvation. The Holy Spirit makes all the sacraments, sanctifies, illuminates, strengthens, stimulates to prayer, produces in the hearts of tenderness, exudes tears of repentance, thanksgiving, praise, draws the soul, saves, gives life, erecting from spiritual death to life, gives peace, freedom of spirit, grace synopolozheniya, crying in the hearts of the faithful from the depths of the soul: Abba, Father! (Rom. 8, 15, Gal. 4, 6). That's why we start praying their prayers to the Holy Spirit. Glory to Thee, most holy soul, life, our Istochniche, ravnodetelny Father and the Word!

What a wonderful spiritual wealth of the Church, the richness of faith, hope and love, the riches of His goodness, mercy, wisdom of God, the wealth of wonders, cleansing of sins, sanctification, enlightenment, solace, peace, and spiritual freedom ! Oh, if all the faithful and the infidels know and have known it, and remember - and hard flowed to the Church! "
