  Society of Russian-Elven Friendship

         "Heren Elendilion"
 its objectives and activities,

      fragments of the basic concept

        and some of the development.



  Society of Russian-Elven Friendship
"Heren Elendilion was founded in 1993
and is an informal and voluntary
association of people with the aim of sharing
of scientific, artistic, cultural
and other activities under the general
coordination, using the general banks
information and facilities.

  The purpose of CE is feasible
fundamental convergence of the world of elves and
the world's people, their interaction for the benefit of
both worlds, the development of fundamental
basis of their coexistence. This goal
dictates the method of work, which
is the accumulation, analysis,
Alignment, coordination and
systematization of information, based on
which will continue to be conducted
practical measures, some of which
implemented now. This program
Search elves and traces of their activities,
development of psychological, philosophical,
Theosophical, philological and other
bases for contact with them. The most important
activity is
study, implementation and development
elfisticheskoy and elven psychology
because of the basic doctrines of ChE
It follows that it is psychology elf
can lead us to him. Among
activities of ChE and
All-round promotion and popularization
true knowledge and understanding of the world of elves,
development elfisticheskoy culture.
Of course, with the development of our
understanding of what and how we are doing,
there is a gradual increment of the proportion
practices and practical programs
ChE activity.


  The only condition for entry into HE
an agreement with the principles of its
work and a minimum agreement with the basic
concepts that support CE.
Concept, these are as follows:


  1. Indemonstrability nonexistence
Elves and their world. We do not argue about
Are they real, as well as our world, we
proceed from them is equally probable. Proceeding
from this, we tried to find out what
they may be, or what they are,
that, in essence, the same thing. Not so
importantly, how we perceive
elves, that is, roughly speaking, for whom
We accept them. For some of us are
belong to the mythology, for other
are ethical and aesthetic
program, others consider them to be quite
biological beings, the fourth -
only an artistic character or
metaphor. This did not prevent us from
to work together and support
fruitful dialogue between them.

  2. Inadmissibility of the primitive and
flippant attitude towards the elves and their
world. Frivolous, predatory,
consumer or indifferent
related to the problems of interaction with
worlds indigenous people - Indians
peoples of the Far North, even such
outwardly prosperous nations, as Russian
considered a criminal. Why is it to the World
Elves have to use other measurements?

  3. Mutual need to contact
Worlds of Elves and Men. and for whom no
secret that the technological revolution
humanity, which caused his break with
World of Elves, threatens the entire planet
environmental catastrophe. at least
terrible, though less obvious, we
is the prospect of catastrophe
mental, spiritual collapse
humanity, which is already readily
embodies the most impressive
the darkest nightmares of its prophets. Nothing
gives us no reason to assume that
Elves in the World is similar,
although the opposite, perhaps
nature, disaster: Our worlds are needed
each other. They are too far
separated, and both suffer from it. Their
separation creates disharmony, which
impact on each of them. "Your world
becoming more and more painted
and orderly, but rather he did
lose the ability to imagination, to
charm, to the joy of having no other
reasons other than that you see a miracle
a world in which you
fortunate enough to live. Soon your world
become so dull and gray, you
destroy it yourself, blindness, and
ignorance. But our world is becoming
too weak. The magic comes out of the
control. Anything that you can imagine
already, and if it let its course,
he simply disintegrate into chaos. Your World
becomes dark, and in my too
much light, so much that he soon
engulf us. We have both - and you, and
us, there's her belongings in the souls that
to untie, and it can be done
Only once again brought together our worlds. "(Charles de
Lint, "Little Country")

  Movement towards each other
necessary. Two Worlds displays two
hemisphere of the human brain
logical and emotional thinking.
A person with one of them
depressed, inferior. It is this craving
to reunite, to restore
missing part and away from eternity
people in the world of elves, and - quite
logical to assume - on the contrary.

  4. Psychology Elves are not identical
human psychology. Storehouse of the mind and
mental structure is not such as that
us. So if someone from the people
says he understands the elves,
understands them and can say how
Elf will go in a particular case and
why he did so in some
another, we have no reason to
assume it is true. We can
believe him, but not required. Judge
elves can only objective
chronicle of their deeds and descriptions of third party
observer. Such documents,
for example, are "The Hobbit", an essay
rather indifferent towards
Elves, The Silmarillion, the book
could be considered quite
impartial in relation specifically to
Psychology elves, though fairly
anthropomorphic in fact, and
English or Russian, for example, fairy tales,
in which the ratio of the elves are so
ambivalent, which is very similar to the
truth. Here's what we call the faithful
knowledge and understanding of the elves - not blind
their adoration, and not as a blind, an
pointless and stupid - not stupid if
hate his own harmonic
addition? - Envy and hatred of them,
and sighted understanding of what they do not
like us, just as we do not
such as they are, but what we need each
other.

  Now I'll discuss some of
development of CE, which are published
time. Among the developments that
will not be mentioned here - works Elf
and Christianity, "" Elf, and Buddhism "
"Elves and the Utopian end of the XX Century"
"Elfistika in modern and
ulrasovremennoy Western culture and
Nezapada, Elf, and psychopathology;
"Russian Introductory Course Quenya, the second
edition of which probably already has
many, and the beta version of the third
Getting ready for the birthday
Professor, translated "Unfinished
Tales ", which is likely to appear to
Imbolc 1996, and books by Charles de
Lint, a very subtle and knowledgeable
science-fiction writer, musician and elfista
"Small Country," "Dream Worlds" and already
made, but not published in
beyond our control transfer
the story "Jack - Champion Giants," in
where you can find a lot of very individual
and the necessary thoughts and concepts. In 1996,
Mr. Hae is also going to join the
World Institute for Human Development,
deploy, in cooperation with the Greens
Brigades' program for the protection
cultural environment, perhaps -
arrange a festival elfisticheskoy
culture and take part in a number of
role-playing games on the ground in order to
study and testing of elements
Applied psycho elfin.



  1. Unified conception of the universe by HE.



  HE feels that we have reason
assume - or rather, as in all
we do not have a reason not to
suggest that the world was created and
further developed exactly as it
described by JRR Tolkien. First, there was
Era, which in Arda, which has not yet
was still not called Iluvatar, the
more than that and my father did, he was not.
Then he created Ainura, then with them
predpel whole future history of Ea and Arda,
then created Ea, then Arda, and then
sent the Valar to develop its
according predpetomu. Then came
elves, dwarves, humans and Ents - being
Iluvatar which gave the spirit and / or
life. Then swept three epochs
Elven World and began a quarter,
where our story ends. That
happened next? Land has already been round and
Valinor already been separated from her, but between
the land which we know from ancient times, and
Ardoy was still a huge difference.

  It is assumed that this difference was
eliminated as a result of the cataclysm of
direct intervention of the era - remember,
because in the course of three Aynulindale Era
interferes with the creation of music
directly, twice - given two topics and
third time - interrupting the music. Just as
in the case Akallabeta, but more
powerfully changed the outlines of continents and
Seas gone or radically
changed whole nations and animal species,
and, besides, there were radical
changes in the psyche and consciousness
survivors. Waking up, they
did not remember that more recently lived in
Arda and Middle Earth. They were on the
Land.

  By the time of Arda was at the time
end of the 4 + n, where n - natural or
zero times. By the time the Earth we do not
can say when all this happened.
Like, maybe, "said Bertrand Russell
1921 in his treatise "THe Analysis
Of Mind ", our planet could be
created only a few minutes ago, but
humanity that inhabit it, remembers his
imaginary past.

  about how so, you will object? How do I
could walk to school ten years ago,
Ten years ago, there was no Earth?
If Lenin had not gone to Finland
locomotive N 293, where does this engine
undertaken at the Finland Station? Location
come from those traces of the past Earth
which would seem to conclusively
argue that Aragorn - is a myth and
fiction, but, say, Alexander Nevsky -
Reality?

  For Era, nothing is impossible. John
Stuart Mill in his Logic, the composition of
the law of causality, shows that
state of the universe at any moment
time is a consequence of its status
in the previous moment, and, consequently,
Infinite Mind, is capable of
imagine how fantasized
Laplace, state of the universe as a function of
over time from an infinite number of
arguments, just a moment
to imagine the universe in any
other time past or future.
Mill admits that in the future may
outside intervention to interrupt
forward movement of time, but it
does not negate the correctness of the previous
statements. If there's a, there
any r, and it implies s, then from
s with all the mathematical inexorability
induction that t and so on until z; but
at t History of the Universe could
stop, let's end of the world.

  Zoologist Philip Henry Gosse in 1857 in
his essay "Omfalos, attempt
untie the Geological Knot, develops
this idea further in the required
direction. It is currently not
simply as a causal and infinite, and
as strictly causal and infinite
but with a clear beginning. From the state p
unavoidable condition of u, but
before u, somewhere in the s, can occur
Judgement. Similarly, the state p
necessarily and inevitably involves
state k, but the state k was not,
because the world was created somewhere in the n
or m.

  In our case, we say that
some point there was great
The transformation of Arda in the Earth and EA in
we observed the universe, and
newborn world got together with a
full baggage of his non-existent
past, with all his bones
Dinosaurs, the fires inquisitors
checkers apoleonov, locomotives, and Lenin
diplomas to obtain the average
education of all those present here.
That this has been really well
that only pretend to be such,
we can not say, because this
we need to know exactly what kind of year
Nativity actually
ending 4 + n-Naya Age of Arda. This
the problem is more complicated, but equally important.

  It's funny, but it is quite possible that
Tolkien books themselves exist, but
absolutely not have been written by him. If
transformation of the world happened to, say,
Last Friday, the Tolkien simply did not
could write them. They emerged themselves
is, as Ea, from Iluvatar. Equal
Thus, if the world was created yesterday, I
did not write most of this report is not
let alone carrying a set of
thoughts of him. I only remember that I was
did, but it's not proof.



  2. Possibility of a mass movement in
Middle-earth.



  HE believes that significant and
perhaps, the only difference between an elf
from a man rooted precisely in
psychology. Enough in some
large extent, close to a hundred
percent, to grasp the mindset elf, and
begin to live them as you become an elf.
Or, indeed, how you
succeed, so you will succeed.
It seems that the wholly-owned Elf
person does not become, and in the history of
cases are not attested, but
half-elves in her left. So it is quite
be satisfied with a share
Elven thinking, orientation and
mental image. Even partial
"Elven" as it is hard to swallow
looks like in Russian, holds great promise
much up to the elven immortality
and opportunities to get to Valinor, as we
know from precedents and Elrond
Earendila.

  Those in our plural time managed
read more philosophical
or systems of religion, know that
World Christian-Catholic strikingly
different from the world of, say,
Zen Buddhist manituista or Hasid.
Worldview dictates the attitude.
You can not sinned against the truth
say that they live in different worlds.

  Here's the answer to the question of how to get
Middle-earth. We must build it in his
in the soul, and it's the same speed and with the
as completely realized all around you.
Only need patience and determination.
Effort gives amazing results
that shows us a few
parodic example of Don Quixote
Cervantes. Or, say, a long time ago from
fairy tales we know that see an elf and
enter into contact with it is much easier
someone who believes in them.
 But all is not just a case of mass
movement. As you know, two people
do not live in the same world. Their worlds
their personal reality only intersect
some parts. Often these will be called
Clouds the Reality of Private Data
people. The larger the intersection, the
more of these people live in one world.
Private collection of the reality of all
people in the world forms the "objective"
Reality. It is clear that the objectivity
it is conditional.

  This does not mean that they
becoming a man - as one
man can the same thing, so with
equal success, and not one. Objective
Reality does not exist yet
perceived by someone, and as soon as
someone sees it, it becomes
his personal reality. If they
a few, and they are equally see something
(Up to the total), the match only
their perception, not themselves. Man
is not what he sees, and what
sees. From different angles you can see
TV tower on the island without Aptekarskii
that it became the Ostankino
TV tower, or, say, Notre Dame de
Bet. It is no secret that a fully private
Reality does not match ever. But we
it is not necessary. We udovolstvuemsya
some quite often.

  Thus, the problem of moving people
in the same Middle-earth in the same
time is to have all their
had the same idea of
Middle-earth. To their Private Reality
overlap sufficiently complete and
formed the required conditional-Objective
Reality. Otherwise they will fall into different
worlds that differ in what
vary their understanding of them. And,
words of the classic, "everyone will die of the
death, who invented himself. "

  This technique only looks naive and
lol. It is no more ridiculous than that
what they do now, so many
reputable institutions, and agencies
studying the man and his inner world
and try to exploit it
properties. Try to prove to me that with
it can not be used in some
exceptional eventually get
even in Valinor.



  3. The importance of studying the Elvish
language and the essence of the so-called
"Elfin magic".



  In connection with the above becomes
extremely important task of creating
canonical texts of the canonical
translation, akin to the King James Version
Bible study and outreach
Elvish language. If, say, the words
"Arda" and "Ea" a person who is familiar with
Vernadsky's writings and Isaac Lurie
can be converted at a stretch and abundant
comments as "noosphere" and
"Sephiroth", a claim that the word
"N ~ ole" means "magic" would be rude
error and error elfisticheskoy on
conceptual level. Let us illustrate.

  The word "n ~ ole" also means
"Knowledge, the doctrine, the covenant tradition, science,
theory, method, mode of action, practice,
art, craft, art, charms,
magic "- not too much
antonyms to assume that the notion
reflected in the Elvish language that
In short, simply has no analogue in
Russian language, and attempts to describe it,
taking advantage of his arsenal is useless?
Professor translates the word word
lore, the word is extremely meaningful in
English, which generally
tends not only to the concepts of how
to categories. Besides, he many times
makes it clear that this translation is inaccurate and
is approximate. Nonidentity languages
indicates nonidentity worlds, they
described or constructed - many
philosophers say that language -
a tool for creating peace, and then we
see in Tolkien.

  Thus, once the elves do not know
of the word "magic" that only a very
minded or injected into deep
mislead a person can say that
in the elven world, there is some
magic, somehow comparable with the whole
fact that it is the word for us.
Professor makes it clear that he
question the existence of elfin magic
simply can not be understood by elves.
Magic, art, skill, learning - is
all that is denoted by the word "n ~ ole",
more precisely - is exactly what this word
indicated. Feel the difference!
"N ~ ole" - single, coherent concept,
describe the means which human
language is impossible. That is why we
say that what we call
science, art and magic, for
elf - a manifestation of the same
concepts. Elf does not understand or accept
separate device, works of art
or so-called "magic
artifact. "Any elf object
"N ~ ole" - from the Silmaril to Lorienskogo
timber - do not call either of these
words. Criterion "n ~ ole" - not
efficiency, not beauty and charm, and
for the soul.

  Thus, one should not hope
understand the elf, until you talk with him
his language. Simply can not be
sure that you're talking about one and
same same. Pithiness
any more or less abstract
Talk instantly drops to zero.



  4. The issue of discrepancies in Tolkien.



  It is appropriate to raise the issue, not just
rose before tolkinovedami and not just
also puts them at a dead end - starting with the
Christopher Tolkien himself - a question
discrepancies in the work of professors.

  It can be resolved in two ways
view. Both of these suggest that
The professor did write their own
book, because otherwise this issue
just do not have a solution.

  1. If we assume that Tolkien, as
the author wrote his work
consistently and gradually, then nothing
surprising in the fact that earlier versions of
facts, names and details differ from
follow-up. He does not lock yourself into an
invented, because he believed that could
think better.

  2. If we assume that Tolkien got
his visionary information, such as
Swedenborg, or any other,
undiscovered by us, but got it
once in complete form, then we can
suggest that he would not let us in
his book is full, direct
and true knowledge Ea - Anvambara
(True peace, which he wrote that
professor, and one that really
existed before the Great Transformation, in
Unlike Ungvambara, Empty World
world of our illusions, our imaginary
past), and adapt it to
capabilities and features of our
awareness and understanding of the world that we do not
proved by modifying the conditional Objective
Reality is a set of
Private realities, in some not
that world - because we know that everyone
written even a line, bears
responsibility for the fate of
humanity. This great work he
performed throughout life,
continuing to learn at this myself, and it is
and the only reason his earlier publications
(LT) differ significantly from the late
(LotR revised and UT). This does not change its
Information about Middle Earth and all
Anvambare, and his retelling of it for us.

  It is quite possible and not contrary to
this statement and thought, what changed
and understanding of the professor of what he
wrote, his vision of the world that he
began to see clearly. After all, not knowing exactly who he is
was, and only a vague suspicion with which
end, he came to us, we can not know
and how it is committed to
insight. First, perhaps, he
had to constantly explain everything
himself, and it was to be
not a single work, not insured by
errors and revisions.

  So I tried and ChE
shed light on some issues
tolkienovedeniya. We are pleased, if provided
someone to help and sympathize with, if Porridge
in someone's head became thicker, but not
nourishing.

  In conclusion I would like to invite all
those present to join
programs and development of CE, as well as
ask questions and communicate their
ideas.
