There is an elixir of immortality. Is there eternal life? Elixirs of immortality: from the past to the present day there is an elixir of immortality

The case was in the XVIII century. One day, the servant of the legendary Count Saint-German asked if his owner was personally met with Julia Caesar and possesses the secret of immortality. To which the servant with a calm view answered that he did not know, but over the past 300 years of his service, Saint-Germain Count has not changed at all ...

Nowadays, the question of immortality has not lost its relevance, and active work on finding a way to gain physical immortality is conducted in all industrialized countries of the world.

Tireless graph

If you omit the mythological history of the biblical adam, who lived, by legend, 900 years old, the eternal Zhida Agasfera and the Koschery of the Immortal, then the first popularizer of the elixir of the immortality will be all the same Saint-Germain, a person, one must say, very mysterious. In the XVIII century, People's Solve seriously argued that Count is 500 years old, and in his castle there is a unique mirror in which you can see the future.

It was rumored that the count personally showed in the mirror Louis XV the decapitated body of his grandson. In turn, the famous adventurer Count Caliostro, who considered himself a student of Saint-German, in question in the Inquisition mentioned a certain vessel. In it, Saint-Germain, according to Caliostro, kept the elixir of immortality, made according to the recipes of the ancient Egyptian priests.

The most interesting thing is that people who personally encountered Saint-Germa in various corners of Europe, described it as a man about 45 years old with a dark face. At the same time, over the course of decades, the Count has absolutely not changed outwardly. He was rich, perfectly raised and possessed truly aristocratic manners. The count was equally well expressing well in French, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Turkish and Arabic.

Often, in a conversation with monarchs, Saint-Germain mentioned the rulers of the long-lasting days and in conversation often argued that he had personal conversations with many ancient rulers and philosophers, including Jesus Christ. Saint-Germain died, or in 1784 in Holstein, or in 1795 in Kassel.

But it was not possible to discover the graves. And many aristocrats who knew the count during his lifetime, repeatedly met him after official death! There are evidence of the appearance of Saint-Germa and in Europe of the XX century. Does the count really possessed the elixir of eternal youth, is it possible?

Youth for Tirana

As you know, the most unfinished sinners and satrapy are clinging for life. Historical sources claim that the first emperor of the Qin dynasty is the legendary Shihuandi, who lived in the III century BC. er, was literally obsessed with the idea of \u200b\u200bhis own immortality. Its approximate from morning to night studied ancient treatises in the hope of finding a recipe for eternal youth.

But in vain. As a result, the upset emperor issued a decree in which he forbid himself to die. But still died. Subsequently, many emperors of China tried to find an elixir of eternal life, but, in addition to unique methods of rejuvenation, there was nothing invented.

The medieval rulers became famous for the search for immortality. All methods invented by them bordered with rare inhuman sadism. They say, more than others became famous in this field Marshal of France Graf Gilles de re, the prototype of blue beard. After arresting in the interrogations of the Inquisition, he confessed that he killed several hundred young people to make an elixir immortality from their genitals.

In the second half of the XVI century, the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Batori for gaining eternal youth and beauty took the bath from the blood of virgins. In total, 650 girls found their end in the Castle of the Countess.

Blood for chief

Like medieval aristocrats, they wanted to live forever and the first Soviet leaders. In the 1920s, the famous revolutionary Alexander Bogdanov was headed by the world's first institution in the world, in which the elderly leaders of Soviet Russia tried to overflow the blood of the young.

However, the case was not set. Lenin, unlike his sister, who has passed the rejuvenating procedure, refused to transfusion of blood, calling him scientific vampirism. Perhaps research would have been successful, but Bogdanov, during one of the experiments, suddenly died. After his death, frustrated Stalin ordered to interrupt the experiments.

After half a month, the problem of finding longevity through the transfusion of the blood of young compatriots has quite successfully practiced the leader of North Korea Kim Il Saint. Starting the procedures at the age of 65, the dictator survived to a very old age in 82 years, although it was planned to stretch at least to 120 years.

Generator youth exists

In the modern world there are dozens of promising techniques for the extension of human life. But humanity is not waiting for an unique diet, an expensive operation or cryosis of his own body, and the invention of the device, which for several sessions would help a person to completely get rid of diseases and live over 40-50 years.

Oddly enough, but such a device exists and works on the principles logically close to the brutal experiments of medieval rulers. However, now it is not about the transfusion of young blood an old man, but about the transplant of a young biofield.

One of the presentations of the methodology occurred in 1997 in St. Petersburg at the first international congress "weak and ultra-plastic fields and radiation in biology and medicine." The report on its unique technique did a scientist of Chinese origin from Khabarovsk Yuri Vladimirovich Jiang Canyzhen. According to the theory of scientist, many times confirmed by practical experiments, all living organisms exchange a certain invisible eye with genetic information.

The process occurs with the help of electromagnetic waves of the ultrahigh-frequency range. The device, invented by Dr. Jiang Canyzhen, can carry the biopol of young organisms to the old, rehabilitating their DNA and stimulating rejuvenation. As a real scientist, Jiang Canyzhgen experimented on himself, and on his father - the result was like a working age of the scientist himself and the processes of the organism's regeneration at its 80-year-old old man.

It is interesting to note that, in contrast to many similar inventions, the opening of the scientist official science has adopted and even issued patents into several inventions. So it is likely that in the foreseeable future in each clinic there will be a device capable of transferring a young man's biopol on his elderly relatives, rejuvenating them. In this case, the duration of human life will grow almost twice.

Science does not stand still

Comment on the possibility of creating a technique that significantly extends human life, we agreed doctor of Medical Sciences, Academician Vakb Dmitry Valerevich Glukhov:

- Elixir of eternal youth is indeed the right to exist. But not in the medieval sense. In the world, research is actively conducted in the field of rejuvenation techniques, there are significant successes in this area. In Russia alone, more than 10 rejuvenation systems and more than 30 methods of rejuvenation are delivered to commercial rails, not counting various dietary supplements and pharmacological drugs.

The main work is carried out in the field of cosmetology and the correction of the human immune system. Every year new techniques on the basis of advanced, promising technologies appear. So, nanotechnology gave impetus to a new direction of rejuvenation - supramolecular chemistry. Development is going fast, and perhaps in the near future someone from the researchers will show a cherished bottle with a muddy liquid.

Today, the technology of electromagnetic transformation, or the modification of the human genome has advanced, on this direction. Again, many scientists work in Russia in this direction. In my opinion, Jiang Canyzhen works look quite promising. It is impossible not to mention both Professor Zakharov with its cell therapy and revitalization, Goryola, Comrakova and other researchers.

In the event of their success and mass implementation of the methods, the average life expectancy of a person may increase from the current 65-70 years to 140-160 years. True, in this case, a person will have to, among other things, lead a relatively healthy lifestyle.

"... this unusual story that happened today in Syria, I accidentally found out from Alexandra Loginova, the fifth year of the fifoxy Nasty Mount of Athos in the Greek Monastery. At this monastery, the Orthodox Medic, Greek by nationality, the pathologist, who is one Time worked in the medical commission created in the UN. He met with the elders of the monastery. According to this medic, the commission was engaged in a study of a unique case - in the literal sense of the resurrection of a person from the dead. Initially, the victims of the victim conducted local doctors in Damascus, and then joined the case and US military doctors. The American side eventually concluded that the result was the consequence of the "UFO intervention", and secked this information. "And our crossed and said:" And thank God! " - Alexander told ...
The story is. The one, about whom, actually, is someone, Sch.d, - was a rich Arab sheikh from Saudi Arabia. And his spouse was a faithful Muslim from a wealthy noble kind. This Arabian family could be called happy if ... they had children. Years went and, despite all the efforts and significant medical expenses and treatment with all sorts of luminaries, they remained childless. Men's parents advised him to marry another woman, since the local law allows you to make up to four marriages at the same time.

The tired, concerned and lost hope, a man did not accept the Council of his parents, and went on vacation with his wife to Syria. Arriving there, they took the car along with the driver to accompany them as a guide in Syria. During the journey, the driver noticed that Saudi couple was saddened and concerned. And, since they managed to get closer, he asked why they were unhappy, maybe because they are not happy, how does he spend excursions?

And the couple told about her misfortune. Being also a Muslim, the driver said that they have Christians in Syria - and it is from Christians of Orthodox - there is a Panaghia Saidnaya monastery (the name consists of a Greek word meaning "Miss-" and one Arabic - "Our Mistress"), and that many people who can not have children go to the life-giving icon of this monastery. In the monastery they are given to taste oils from the lamp, burning in front of the life-giving icon of Our Lady, and "Maria" Christian gives them what they wish, "according to their faith.

Inspired by what they found out, spouses from Saudi Arabia asked the driver to bring them to the monastery "Saidnaya" - "Mrs. Christians", promising that if they had a child, they will give him $ 20,000, the monastery will donate 80,000. dollars.

Having traveled to the monastery, they did exactly as they said. Then returned home, and after some time a woman got pregnant, and after the last period gave birth to a wonderful boy. It was the true miracle of our Most Holy Virgin.

After his wife gave birth, a man from Saudi Arabia returned to Syria to fulfill the promise. He called the driver and asked to pick it up from the airport in Damascus. But the driver, being a cunning and evil, has taken the two friends to go along with him to the airport to steal a rich man from Saudi Arabia, take away his money and kill him. On the way, the man promised to each of the driver's friends of 10,000 US dollars.

It seemed to them a little, they turned off the road leading to the monastery, to the desert place, where he killed him, cut off her head and the whole body (arms and legs) were chosen on the part. With a clouded reason from the deed, they put the remains of a man in the trunk of the car, instead of leave them there. After he took the money, the clock and everything he had, went to seek another deserted place so that you could leave the remains.

At one of the national auto accounts, the car suddenly stalled, and they stopped in the middle of the road. All three came out to see what happened to the engine. Some passersogue stopped to help them, but they abandoned help, afraid that their terrible crime was revealed. The motorcyclist managed to notice that blood dries from the trunk of the car, and caused the police, because the whole scene and those three seemed suspicious to him. The policemen came and, seeing blood under the car and on the asphalt, ordered to open the trunk.

And when they opened it, Saudi man suddenly got on his feet - alive and disadvantaged, saying: "Right now, this Panaghia finished sewing the neck, right here (and showed it an apple's Adam's zone), after he sewed the rest of the body." Having seen this, three criminals immediately lost the reason - literally went crazy. Police put on them handcuffs, and on the way to a psychiatric hospital, they did not stop shouting: there can be no such thing to be that the man who they killed is a decapitation and cutting it into pieces, "survivors.

The man was a survey in the hospital, and the doctors confirmed that the seams were really imposed recently. The seams were really, and they can be seen now. When a man got out of the trunk of the car, being literally blinded again, he did not stop repeating that Panaghia restored his body and revived with his son.

Immediately after that, the man caused his relatives to Syria, and together they went to the Monastery of Panaghiei Saidnaya, ascending praises, glory and prayers, and instead of the initially promised amount of 80,000 US dollars sacrificed to the Virgin Moral Monastery 800.000 US dollars. Upon learning of what happened, shocked relatives and close to this person turned from Muslim in the Orthodox faith.
... In addition to the story of the Medica already mentioned by us, visited the Monastery of the Philofey, the news about the Mother of God's Mother in Syria recently sent the old man in Schirchimandrite Efrem from the Greek Monastery of St. Anthony of the Great in Arizona (USA), the student and the apartments of the elder Joseph Isihastan, Former before the igumen of the monastery of the Philofey. Schirchimandrite Ephraim, who organized and bold 21 Orthodox Monastery in North America, writes that for the first time he learned about it from Ignatia, the governor of the Orthodox Greek Monastery in Bethlehem.
At the same time, from official (Christian or Islamic) sources of documentary evidence of the authenticity of the Syrian miracle. In messages left in the Arab Internet forums, a link to the transfer passed on the first Syrian TV channel is given.
And further. The famous Serbian theologian, Lord of Athanasius (Evtich), was told about this wonderful case, when he spoke in front of the Sretensky Monastery and at the Church and ESKhatology conference in Moscow. The Lord of Athanasius was in Syria and heard this story from the bishop.
... add only that in the Synia Women's Monastery under Damascus the ancient miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin Mary was really kept, written by the Apostle Evangelist Luka in the first century AD. And the most different people in their prayers get healing from him - it is also documented. "

At all times, people dreamed of becoming immortal. How many hunters for life without death were looking for the formula of the cherished elixir on the loss pages of the oldest folios. The endless race for eternal life was becoming a curse and intrusive idea of \u200b\u200bmany seekers, pushed them into monstrous crimes.

It is believed that the elixir of immortality is a fabulous magic agent that can rejuvenate the human body and make a human life endless.

The elixir of immortality is often mentioned in the myths, legends and legends of many peoples as "food" of the gods. For example, the gods of ancient India knocked Amrita, ancient Greece - Ambrosia, ancient Egypt - the water of immortality, the Iranian deities - Homa.

The desire to acquire an immortal life was the most desirable and seductive goal. But no one can say with confidence that anyone managed to find an immortal life - this is still a mystery.

Each person is confident that his life released is very short. How many tools to find an infinite life was! And every time they gave hope to extend the life! It is possible that some people still managed to some people ....

In the ancient Indian epic, "Mahabharata" speaks of the juice of a kind of plant extending human life up to 10 thousand years. But where to find this wonderful plant is not said. But the ancient Greek sources are narrated about the fruit of the "tree of life", capable of returning youth to man. In Russian epics, it is often possible to meet a mention of "living water", the source of which is located on the island of Buyan.

At the time of the discoveries of Christopher Columbus, many believed that the lands were found on which there are sources of eternal life. So, the companion of Columbus This is what Pope Lerl X: "To the north of Espanyola between other islands there is one island at a distance of three hundred twenty miles from her, as they say those who found it, on the island beats an inexhaustible key of running water such a wonderful property that The old man who will drink it, observing the certain diet, after a while will turn into a young man. I beg your holiness, do not think that I say it out of frivolry or Naobum: This rumor was really established at the court as a certain truth, and not only a simple people, but many of those that stand above the crowd in their mind or wealth, too Believe him. "

Many seekers spent their life in search of the island with a mysterious source. As a result, many unknown land were discovered, but no one found the source of immortality.

But the recipes of Elixir immortality are known many. For example, a Tibetan recipe: put into a glass jar of stones - rhinestone, smoky and pink quartz, amethyst, carnelian, kaholong and pour water, then put it for 10 hours in the sun. As a result of the effects of sunlight on this solution, a rejuvenating drink is obtained, significantly increasing the vital tone. This drink is taken inside, wash it, make compresses with cuts, bruises and burns.

Or here is another fairly simple recipe for the preparation of the rejuvenating infusion - it is known to many as a means found by Tibetan monks. From the herbs of daisies, immortals and birch kidney in equal amounts are prepared by infusion and take on a half package with honey. The course lasts 45 days, but it can be repeated only in five years.

The recipe for the elixir of youth, which is described in the ancient Indian legends, is also quite simple. The crushed two heads of garlic need to be welded in 1 liter of milk, and then insisted at least 1 hour. You need to drink this infusion on 1 tablespoon three times a day. This giving fluid contributes to the purification of vessels and contributes to improving immunity.

Many researchers argue that in their time Cleopatra allegedly drank the drink, giving immortality. However, since after a while she committed suicide, it is impossible to judge the success of experience.

There is also an interesting case that occurred with the Chinese emperor Xuan-Jun (VIII century). The court zone alchemist prepared a beverage of immortality for his ruler. The drug was preparing for a year. But in a month, after the reception "Beverage of immortality", the emperor died.

They say that a 75-year-old woman lived in the small provincial Japanese town of Fukuoka named Sayengon. Perhaps her fate would have formed, as with millions of women of its age, if not a mistake of medical staff. She received an excess dose of the hormonal drug. The result stunned everyone - she, like a child, anew teeth rose, the sidin and wrinkles disappeared. The rejected Japanese was not only married, but also gave birth to a child. After that, many older people rushed to take hormonal drugs, but none of them did not achieve the desired result.

To date, many theories explaining aging, but none of them is a universal means and the basis for combating this phenomenon.

According to the Bible, initially, the human life was eternal. However, the fall of Eve and Adam led to punishment, which was deprived of the gift of immortality. However, there is no rules without exception - it is known that the Lord presented to one of the ancestors of Nov. Mafusailel the opportunity to live to 969 years old. Since then, there has become a winged expression "Mafusail Age".

The legendary Hippocrates believed that a decaring man could include a rejuvenation process thanks to sexual contacts with young girls. It was this method that the famous king David enjoyed, thereby pulling the time of his squabble.

It should be noted that today the life and immortality of Count Caliostro is quite a lot - some consider it a charlatan and a rift, others - a person who has been known for the secret of the philosophical stone.

It should be noted that interest in the philosophical stone arose in the middle of the 10th century and lasts to the present day. The philosophical stone - the mythical substance is considered to be the beginning of all began. He can give his owner immortality, knowledge and eternal youth. But not only these properties attracted the alchemists of the whole world. The main reason for the search for this mythical substance was that the philosophical stone was able to pay any metal into gold.

Modern science does not deny the possibility of turning one chemical element in another. In addition, I must say that today there are many legends on the transformation of metals in gold. For example, they say that Ramunda Lulley on the order of the English king Eduard II paid about 60 thousand pounds of gold from tin, mercury and lead. And this gold was the highest sample. Minced coins made from this gold, still stored in English museums.

Or after the death of Emperor Rudolph II (1552-1612) there remained a large amount of gold and silver in the ingots (approximately 8 and 6 tons, respectively). No one could understand where he could take such a number of precious metal, and most importantly, it was such a high sample that did not contain impurities at all. And this fact was most struck by the researchers, since at that time it was impossible to technically obtain a precious metal of this quality.

But let's go back to the legends of immortality. They say the legendary Genghis Khan, feeling that his strength declines and the old age, gathered sorcerers from all his lands, sanguars, wise men and drugs, who argued that they knew the secret of the elixir of youth and immortality. He ordered everyone to prepare the elixir. The test was simple - after the meaning was drunk his potion, he cut off his head. If a severed head has not grown, attached to the body, the test passed the following zochar. This "fun" of Genghis Khan would continue long enough if one stray sage did not tell him: "Great Khan, I lived on this light for many years and has long lost your bill for my days. I read a lot of wise ancient books, and I know a lot of secret secrets. But there is no elixir of immortality, you are doing a useless thing and in vain spend the days let me. The immortality of the barrage body does not exist. Only the deceased man and his spirit are immortal. After releasing the wise old man, the great conqueror ordered to prepare for a new campaign to conquer the whole world. According to the legend, the death found Genghis Khan during a hike to the tangut state in 1227.

In India, you will tell you about Raja Tapasviji, who lived 186 years old (1770-1956) and this is evident documented. At 50, he retired in Himalayas and became a hermit. Considering spiritual practices and yoga, he reached perfection in managing his body (state of samadhi). Tapasviji spoke about his meeting with an old-hermit, who spoke only in the language of ancient India - Sanskrit and claimed that he lives about 5 thousand years. This old man told Tapasviji about the elixir of immortality. Drink must be taken more than once every 10 years. After the death of Tapasviji, his dwelling was carefully investigated for the search for Elixir immortality, but the search was unsuccessful.

Scientists believe that some multicellular organisms that exist on Earth are potentially immortal or capable of existing for a long time if this existence will not be interrupted by some accident. Such organisms include freshwater hydrais, marine acts, some types of fish and reptiles. It is possible that this quality contributes to the low energy level of the exchange of these organisms, so they are significantly slowing the speed of aging.

At the same time, it gives hope of contemporary scientists that science is able to solve the problem with an increase in the life of a person. In this regard, genetic engineering, stem cell technology, transplantology, hormone therapy and many other industries are actively developing. Very promising development in the field of cryonobiology and artificial intelligence.

American Physicist R. Feynman said: "If a person had decided to build an eternal engine, he would face a ban in the form of a physical law. In contrast to this situation in biology there is no law that would affirm the mandatory limb of the life of each individual. "

The body of a person by 70 percent consists of water. No wonder one famous biologist figuratively called living beings "animated water." Obviously, for the health and longevity of man is not indifferent, what kind of water nourishes the cloth of his body. And indeed, in recent years it has become known that water differs significantly not only in chemical impurities, but also by isotopic composition and other features. Many properties of water change, for example, if you skip it between the poles of the magnet. Water may be more biologically active, and it affects the processes of the organism aging. But much about the properties of water is an important component of our body - we still do not know.

In any case, today there are no more vague legends and not ancient legends, and scientific research speaks of the effect of water on the health and life expectancy of the inhabitants of different areas of the Earth.

It is known that the inhabitants of some islands of the Caribbean, for example, Guadeloupe islands, look much younger than their European-older. When they are asked how they manage to keep youth for a long time, it is usually the answer: "We have such water on our island, which rejuvenates the person ..." There are excellent health and inhabitants of the central regions of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Residents of Sri Lanka The reason for their health consider the climate and water of mining sources. Apparently, it is not by chance ancient tried to look for life-watering water on this island.

Long milestones and a number of peoples of the North, some scientists are also associated with water that they drink. This is the so-called "effect of melt water", which has a beneficial effect on metabolism and thereby, as it were, a "rejuvenating" body.

Today, searches are no longer on the distant islands or in unknown lands. They are carried out in dozens of laboratories of the largest scientific centers of the world, studying the properties of water and its influence on the human body.

People who are extremely concerned about to lengthen their lives as much as possible, most of them were endowed with wealth and power. They were looking for the shortest path. And this path seemed to existed. The most ancient legends and legends mentioned him - this is the "elixir of immortality" who knocked the gods. In different countries it was called differently. The gods of the ancient Greeks used the giving abroad, Indian gods - Amrita, the gods of Iranians - Homa. And only the gods of ancient Egypt, showing majestic modesty, preferred other food of the gods - water. True, all the same water of immortality.

Nobody approached the elixir of immortality so close as the alchemists who were looking for, however, are completely different - the ways of making gold. This was a well-known logic. Immortality is a state that is not subject to change. Is not gold - the only substance that is not exposed to external influence? It is not afraid of alkalis, nor acids, he is not terrible corrosion. It seemed that time itself is powerless before him. Does this metal contain a certain beginning that makes it so? And is it impossible to allocate this substance from it or bring it into the human body along with gold? "Who will take gold inside, says one ancient oriental text," he will live as long as gold. " Such is the traditional base of ancient beliefs: you eat an eagle - you will be like an eagle, eat a heart of a lion - you will be strong as a lion ...

Gold was an indispensable component of different options for elixir immortality. We have reached the recipe, drawn up by a personal doctor of Pope Boniface VIII: It should be mixed in crushed gold, pearls, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, topaz, white and red corals, elephant bone, sandalwood, deer heart, aloe root, musk and ambru. (We hope that Prudence will keep readers from the overall hasty use of the composition given here.)

Not much easier was another composition, which can be found in the same ancient Eastern Book: "You need to take a toad, who lived 10,000 years old, and a bat, who lived 1000 years, to dry them into the shadows, to pull into powder and accept."

But the recipe from the ancient Persian text: "We need to take a person, red and spring, and feed it with fruits up to 30 years, then lower it in a stone vessel with honey and other compositions, to conclude this vessel in the hoops and hermetically closed. After 120 years, his body will contact the mummy. " After that, the contents of the vessel, including what Mumia became, could be taken as healing agents and means extended life.

Initious harvest in this area has brought a particular abundant harvest in this area. It can be mentioned in this connection about a French scientist of the XV century. In search of a life elixir, he boiled 2000 eggs, separated proteins from yolks and, mixing them with water, distilled many times, hoping in this way to extract the desired substance of life.

The obvious meaninglessness of such recipes does not testify more about the meaninglessness of the searches themselves. It became known only what was discarded as unnecessary. But if you judge the history of one or another science only on unsuccessful experiences and failed discoveries, the picture is likely to be about the same.

Experiments in the field of immortality distinguished one circumstance - a complete mystery that surrounded the results. If you imagine that some of these attempts were completed successfully, that is, someone managed to somewhat lengthen their lives, then, naturally, everything was done so that this recipe was not a population. If, by accepting the drug, the object of experience broke up with life, he all could not tell anyone about his sad fate. Such fate suffered, for example, the Chinese emperor Xuanjun (713-756). He went to his royal ancestors much earlier than the deadline only because I had the negligence to accept the elixir of immortality, made by its courthek.

Among the few, about whom we know that they, by accepting Elixir, considered themselves the immortal, was one rich Barin-Philanthrop, who lived in the past century in Moscow, whom all the name was simply by name-patronymic - Andrei Borisovich. To the old age, he began to indulge in various research associated with the elixir of eternal life, guided by mainly his own intuition. And since a person is inclined to believe more than any other authority, it is not surprising that Andrei Borisovich soon was in full confidence that he finally found the desired composition. Like many other seekers of the elixir of immortality, he preferred their find in secret. He himself, he himself so much in the effect of the composition, which really felt the sleek, began to even walk on the dance ... until his last minute he did not doubt his own immortality.

This case reminds the history of another Russian Barin, who lived at around at the same time and also belonged to his own immortality. In the youth, being somehow in Paris, he visited Lenorman's famous predictor. By informing him everything is pleasant and unpleasant that he expects him in the future, Lenorman completed his prediction by the phrase, which put a fingerprint on his own further life.

"I have to warn you," she said, "that you will die in bed."

- When? What time? - The young man turned pale.

The priest shrugged.

Since that minute, he set him a goal to avoid what it seemed to be destined to him by fate. Upon returning to Moscow, he ordered to take out all the beds, sofas, down jackets, pillows and blankets from his apartment. In the afternoon, half a hand, he drove around the city in a carriage, accompanied by Kalmichki key, two lakes and a fatty pug, which he kept. Of all the entertainment available at that time, he most liked to attend the funeral. Therefore, Kucher and Foretor all day chaired in Moscow in search of funeral processions, to which their barin joined immediately. It is not known what he thought, listening to others, - perhaps secretly rejoiced that all this is not related to him, because he does not lie down in bed, and therefore, the prediction cannot come true, and it will thus avoid of death.

Fifty years later he led his duel with fate. But now, once, when, as usual, he stood in the church in the church, believing that he was present at the funeral, his key was almost married him with some kind of elderly friend. This case was frightened by Barin, that a nervous shock was made with him. He was sitting in his chairs with a patient who was sitting in chairs, refusing to obey the doctor and lie down in bed. Only when he weakened so much that he could not resist, the lackeys were put in force. As hardly felt in bed, he died. So strong was faith in prediction?

No matter how great mistakes and mistakes were, contrary to everything, contrary to failures and disappointments, search for immortality, search for ways to extend the life was not interrupted. Errors, ignorance, failures immediately subjected to ridicule. But the slightest step towards success was closed by the mystery.

That is why information about the successes that managed to achieve on this path, are single, scattered and low-storey.

There are, for example, a message about the bishop of Allen De Lyla, the face, really existed (he died in 1278), which was engaged in medicine, - historical Annals referred to him not otherwise as a "universal healer." He allegedly known was the composition of the elixir of immortality or at least a method of considerable extension of life. When he has been for many years and he died of old age, with the help of this elixir he managed to extend his life for another 60 years.

On the same approximately, it was possible to extend his life and Zhang Dalina (34-156), also the face of the historical, the founder of the Tao philosophical system in China. After many years of persistent experiments, he succeeded alleged in the manufacture of a certain similarity of the legendary pecilment of immortality. When he was 60 years old, the chronicles report, he returned his youth and lived to 122 years old.

In one row with these other messages of the ancients. Aristotle and other authors mention Epimenia, priests and a famous poet from Crete Island. It is known that in 596 to the new era, he was invited to Athens to bring clearative victims there. According to the legend, Epimenia managed to extend his life up to 300 years.

But this age is not the limit. The Portuguese court historian tells in his chronicle about a certain Indian, with whom he personally met and talked and who was supposedly 370 years old at that time.

Similar evidence can be attributed to the book that has published in Turin in 1613 and containing the biography of one inhabitant Goa, allegedly lived almost to 400 years. Close to this figure and years of the life of one Muslim Saint (1050-1433), also lived in India. In Rajasthan (India) and now there will be a legend of the hermit of Munisadh, back in the XVI century, which has passedged into the caves near Dholpur and hiding there ... so far.

Roger Bacon, scientist and philosopher Middle Ages, also interested in the problem of extension of human life. In his essay, "De Secretis Operebus" he tells about the German named Papalius, who, who has been captured by Saraqin for many years, learned the secret of making some drug and lived to 500 years. The same number of years calls and Pliny Sr. - precisely to this age, according to his testimony, managed to extend his life to some irlirovac.

An example closer to us in time is the information about Chinese Li Tsagun. He died in 1936, leaving behind the widow, former, according to the record, the 24th his wife. Li Tsanyun, as claimed, was born in 1690, which means he lived 246 years old.

But the strangest and fantastic message from the same row is associated with the name of Indian Tapassji, who lived allegedly 186 years old (1770-1956). At the age of 50, he, being Raja in Patalia, decided to retire in Himalayas to become "on the other side of the human chains." After perennial exercises, Tapasviji learned to dive into the so-called "samadhi" state when life completely seemed to leave his body, and could not take a drink or food for a long time. This practice was reported by the British who served in the colonial administration in India. They told about yoga, which, thoroughly clearing the stomach and intestines, climb their ears and nose wax and plunged into a state resembling winter hibernation insects. In such a state, they were not a day and not two, but for several weeks, after which they were returned to life with the help of hot water and massage.

The fate of Tapasviji may not cause much surprise. Long-livers are known, who naturally lived up to 140-148 years old. In the fact that Tapasviji either someone else, applying a diet and other means, was able to push this limit for another to several decades, there is nothing fundamentally impossible. It will be about the amazing testimony of Tapasviji himself.

Once, he told, from the opposite of Himalayev, he met an old man's hermit. It was fed only by fruits and milk, but looked extremely energetic and vigorous. But, the most amazing, the hermit did not speak any of the modern Indian languages, spoken only on Sanskrit - the language of the ancient India. It turned out that since he came here 5000 years! To prolong its life to such limits, he managed to allegedly thanks to a certain composition, whose mystery he owned. Achievement of age in 5,000 years, any of the "long-livers" has not yet been "overlapped" - neither in historical chronicles, nor in legends or legends.

However, if neither a fantastic similar message, no longer a period of fifty-centuries, all this is not the immortality itself, but only some approaches to it, long-range approaches. That is why scientists and fanatics, philosophers and madmen continued to look at the elixir of immortality - a means capable of granting eternal life. They gave these search years, decades. Sometimes a whole life.

Alexander CAIOSTRO (1743-1795)

Many contemporaries believed that he owns the secret elixir of immortality.

"The greatest charlatan and a deceiver, which the story only knew," they say alone.

"A person who has impossible knowledge and power," say others

... German provincial town with streets, paved slabs, with traditional red tiled roofs and inevitable gothic. Under one of such roofs, in the attic, in a fantastic environment of a flask, a young man sits, retort and crucible. He is busy business no less than fantastic than the situation around him, - by finding the elixir of eternal life. However, the most amazing thing is that this person is no one else, like Goethe, young Goethe, a few years of his life dedicated to the stubborn search for the elixir of immortality. Not wanting to repeat the same mistakes, get into the same deadlocks and wander in the same labyrinths as his predecessors, he carefully studies the work of alchemists, looking for the most forgotten and hidden their works. "I'm secretly trying," he wrote in those years - to learn at least some information from the great books, before which the scientist's crowd wonders, half laughs on them, because it does not understand them. Injury into the secrets of these books is the joy of people wise and noted by a subtle taste. "

So the great poet as an alchemist, the seeker of Elixir immortality turns out to be in one row with people rather strange. One of them was his contemporary - Alexander Caliosro. The greatest charlatan and a deceiver, which the story only knew, - they thought alone. The person who has impossible knowledge and power - so they claimed others.

If we were attended to tell about all the adventures and adventures of this person, we would hardly have enough pages allocated here. In addition to the riddles of its origin and the unknown source of the riches of Caliostro, had another secret. "They say - he wrote at that time one of the newspapers, - County Caliosro possesses all the wonderful secrets of the Great Adept and opened the secret of making a life elixir." Is it not this hearing did Caliosro such a significant figure at the courtyards of the royal persons? So significant that the French king Louis XVI announced that any disrespectfulness or insult to this person would be blocked along with the insult of His Majesty.

During the stay of Caliostro in St. Petersburg, secular ladies affected by the young beauty of his wife Lorenz, were amazed even more, having learned from her words that she was more than forty and that her eldest son had long been the captain in the Dutch army. In response to the natural persisions of Lorentz, somehow "mentioned" that her husband owns the secret of the return of youth.

A strange charm, inherent in Caliostro, a mystery that surrounded him, attracted the attention of the Russian yard. Personal doctor of the Empress Englishman Robertson felt without reason felt in the arrivals of the celebrity of a potential opponent. Using the methods accepted at the courtyard, he tried to blacken the count in the eyes of those who were close to the throne. The naive court telector expected to fight with Caliostro those weapons that he himself owned best, - Intrigue weapons. However, the graph preferred to "cross the swords" on its own terms. He called Robertson on a duel, but the duel is unusual - on poisons. Everyone had to drink poison cooked by the enemy, after which the waven was taken any antidote. With a hardness of a person who has no doubtful, in success, Caliosostro insisted on such conditions of the fight. Frightened by his strange confidence, Robertson refused to accept the challenge. Duel did not take place. Perhaps Robertson reached the elixir of immortality, which allegedly owned his opponent - it is possible that he, like many of his contemporaries, believed in it.

But the favorite of the destiny Count Caliostro too often challenged her, too often did risky bets. In the end, he fell out the "notion", and this card turned out to be the last in his life. Caliostro was captured by the Inquisition, imprisoned, where, as reported, and died in 1795, a chained chain to the wall of a deep stone well.

Personal paper Caliostro, as usual occurred in such cases, were burned. Only a copy of one note is preserved, pre-removed in the Vatican. It describes the process of "regeneration", or the return of youth: "... Accepting it (two gravity of the drug. - Aut.), A person loses consciousness and gift of speech for three days during which he often experiences convulsions, convulsions and on the body He is performed by the Spirit. Waking up from this state in which he, however, does not experience the slightest pain, for the thirty-sixth day he takes the third, and the last, bit, after which it flows into a deep and calm dream. During sleep, the skin peels off, teeth and hair falls out. All of them grow again for several hours. In the morning of the fortieth day, the patient leaves the room, becoming a new person, having experienced a complete rejuvenation. "

Some of the above description, it seemed to be a strange description, it reminds the Indian method of returning the youth of Kayakalpa. The course of this, according to his own stories, was twice in their life passed Tapasviji. For the first time he did it when he was 90 years old. Interestingly, his treatment also continued forty days, most of which he also conducted in a state of sleep and meditation. After forty days, he also allegedly grown up new teeth, the former black color got into her hair, and former vigor and power were returned to the body.

However, although in ancient texts, in medieval and later recordings, we find references to similar "regenerations", none of them says about the composition of the drug applied.
