During the millennia of existence of human civilizations on the
Earth, many spiritual seekers aspiring to our Creator and following His
Teaching, achieved complete success on this Path.
They became Divine and merged with Him. And now, being Parts of
the One Universal God-the-Father, They help us — incarnate people who have not
finished the personal evolution yet.
This section presents conversations with such Teachers, which
can be useful from the standpoint of the methodology of spiritual development.
Contents
We are in the pine forest where many mushrooms grow. We find ourselves inside a giant Divine Spiritual Heart that has a form of hemisphere towering above the forest. Looking deeper, one can see that It comes from the Infinity of the Abode of the Primordial Consciousness! This is another yet Divine Teacher — a Representative of the Creator!
We take off rucksacks, seat on old fallen trunks of trees, and rest a little. Then we ask Him to narrate about Himself.
“My last name on the Earth was Bartholomew. I was a Greek philosopher. I cognized God-the-Father. I lived in Greece in 11-12 centuries AD. Though I lived in Greece, I was a Catholic. I went through the entire activity of the Catholic Church, yet I cognized God-the-Father — because I came to a direct contact with Jesus. And Jesus began to help Me and took Me to Himself.
“Jesus shows the path to God-the-Father. Though learning from Jesus is as adequate as learning from any other Divine Teacher that you know.
“I know everything about you: even in the past I watched your work.”
“Tell us please about Yourself in more detail.”
“Well… Let people know how through love for Jesus one can cognize the Father.
“… I was born into a family of sincerely and deeply believing people. I was named after saint Bartholomew; My parents attached much importance to this. In My childish understanding, it was related to the lives of the Apostles — direct disciples of Jesus.
“I grew in a small Christian community. The members of this community regarded themselves keepers of the traditions of first Christians, who learned the Gospel — the Teachings of Jesus — from Philip and Bartholomew at the time of Their apostolic service in Greece.
“In Greece, in Egypt, and in Syria throughout centuries there were schools and communities trying to preserve the true Christianity.
“Understand: when the Teachings of Jesus fell on the soil of those who formerly studied Plato and Aristotle — or of people with cruel habits and beliefs — it produced different sprouts. In one case, people developed love, respect for the Higher Truths, and hesychia; in the opposite case, this led to the Crusades and Inquisition… Unfortunately, the latter is more known to people…
“Those who studied formerly philosophy, i.e. people who inherited the culture of ancient Greece — they could not become Crusaders or support the Inquisition.
“On the ruins of antique spirituality, the Teachings of Jesus produced sprouts, which are not well known now.
“The traditions of Hesychasm, which were developed in small Christian communities and monasteries, remained after the separation into two branches — the eastern and the western ones: Orthodoxy and Catholicism. In the Catholic Church the memory about this has been almost lost. These are blank pages, not because nothing was written on them, but because everything was washed away, forgotten…
“I am trying to tell a bit about this…”
“Were You a monk?”
“No, I was a philosopher… I sought Truth, sought God. I studied both ancient philosophy and Christianity. In the beginning, I sought God with My mind.
“But when I realized that Truth is not hostility and disagreements of movements but love, then Jesus began to reveal Himself to Me. At this point, My ‘outer’ life ended and inner life began. It was a life of the consciousness aspiring to Jesus with love. It was a life of the open heart which converses with the Lord in a very direct way…
“I did not know meditative technique and methods other than cordial prayer, which was known in the community where I lived. But untold love overfilled My heart when Jesus entered it! This Revelation of the True Love when the mind is silent is great, majestic, and staggering! The human heart expands so infinitely that it can contain the Lord! To live in this way is great bliss!
“Thus I cognized Him. It was My life with Him! He came — and it became the most important, it was the only important thing in My life! The questions which worried Me before — fell away now! Only Christ’s Heart remained, Which expanded more and more in My heart!
“My life became so simple that only Jesus remained in it… and then He took Me into Himself, into the Father…
“… Bring people into Me! I will give them Myself, will give them an opportunity to turn into giant spiritual hearts expanded in Calm! This is the most important thing! This is the foundation of the true spiritual of work.
“As a skyscraper with a strong foundation reaches for the sky, even so a soul can reach unbelievable heights if it is founded on unbreakable Love and Calm!
“Your task is to kindle the hearts of people!
“One may say that you have achieved victory when on the international scale your books will be regarded as classics of philosophical and religious thought, and excerpts from them will be included in educational programs!
“The most important point is to teach people love! One has to develop the spiritual heart to fill it with love for all the living! Only thus one can transform the world on the Earth!
“You can fulfill this! And in this work We all are ‘at your service’!
“… I repeat the eternal truths in slightly different variations. Yet, in what words can one describe what is Eternity and Infinity? One can only cognize this personally. This is My Beingness, and it will never cease! I am Love!
“And remember that nothing in this world belongs to you — nothing but your love for Me! This is your treasure, and it belongs to you by right! All your treasures are your love! No one can take it away from you! Love cannot be stolen, taken away by power, cannot be sold or inherited. Love can only be given — sincerely and selflessly!
“Love has a remarkable quality: the more you give it to others, the more you have it.
“Yet love is a ‘free bird’: it lives and growth in freedom. Such human concepts as ‘I want’ and ‘mine’ are opposite to love, because they limit its freedom. All attempts to own love are doomed: love can be only received with gratitude, carefully and tenderly, as a great gift from the one who gives it to you.
“Love enters through the only gate — through the spiritual heart open to it! And then in such a heart arises a responsive wave of love going outside. Thus love lives and grows.”
We are again on the former Finnish lands occupied by Russians during World War II. The Soviet troops — at the price of heavy casualties — manage to force out from these lands all incarnate Finish people. But Finish Divine Teachers, who worked here, remained and continue Their Work among people.
No, They do not revenge on Russians. The Perfect Ones do not have such a quality as revengefulness. And moreover, God does not divide people by national characteristic. He is “international” and “interconfessional” in contrast to undeveloped people… But He builds people’s destinies depending on the deeds performed by them… Those who committed serious crimes here and everywhere cannot expect a favorable destiny unless they repent sincerely…
… Here there is firry-piny-birch forest with hills, gullies, and brooks… Two Divine Teachers are with us. Both — in Their past — are Scandinavian Lutheran pastors. We know Them for years…
How did Their earthly names sound? One of Them is Pastor Larry in His last Swedish incarnation. Another One did not tell us His name; He only said that His Finish name is too difficult for us to perceive. He suggested that we call Him Freddy as His American friends called Him in His earthly life.
They want to speak with us at first not separately but together, because Their destinies are very similar.
We ask:
“Tell us, please, how did You cognize the Creator and attain the fullness of Perfection?”
“We All were incarnated in this region more than once. Here was exceptionally favorable environment for achieving Perfection, not only from the standpoint of natural energy and landscapes…
“It was very important that a Lutheran priest-pastor was not separated from people. A pastor and his flock lived as one family. The community solved the common everyday economic affairs by united efforts. And always the pastor was the main figure in these affairs. This ennobled people, and the pastor himself acquired priceless everyday experience by studying psychology of people who had a common spiritual Goal. It was indeed his personal experience of cognition of human souls: who needs to be given spiritual knowledge, what people could or could not understand.
“Scandinavia is also a land of lakes! Water, boats, one shore, another shore… Forests with berries and mushrooms, hares and squirrels… A measured life and natural economy. I wish such a life for you!
“What was the advantage of our pastors over Russian Orthodox ones? In particular, it was a complete absence of drunkenness and natural communal life among forests and lakes…
“Take, for example, boatmen at work. Without troubles and worries, without drunkenness and profanity, on the background of positive emotions, all their lives went on in nature. This is very important! Also, their lives were filled with sermons! Let us repeat: pastors and people were not separated, they were all the time in common companionship. How pastor was different from others? Why did this particular man become a pastor? Because the community chose him and sent him to learn. It was a person recognized by the community, a person held in respect even before he became a pastor.
“At the same time, there was little of rites. Only for meditative attunement to the Father and His Son Jesus Christ — mainly for this — a grand divine service took place. And each divine service was a celebration!”
“What did you eat? Lakes, boats which you built… Does it mean that You were fishermen? And it is not known to us that present Lutheranism preaches a refusal of eating fish and meat…”
“Of course, none of Us ate ‘killed’ food.
“The concepts of ethically right nutrition, which were called usually Puritanism, originated long ago. They existed even before the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
“However, none of Us ever forced anybody to adhere to killing-free nutrition: all member of the community chose by themselves what to eat. And We never regarded the fish-based nutrition as a sin for people.
“We explained to others that the pastor has to eat pure food, otherwise he would not be able to hear the voice of God. Some understood that this should be applied only to us, pastors, and respected. Others followed pastor’s example.”
“What kind of spiritual training did You use? Without special multi-stage meditative practices it is impossible to cognize the Creator and become Him. Did You have incarnate Divine Teachers? Or did each of You rely personally only on help and spiritual guidance of God?”
“You know this: We all were guided by Odin, like you are now.
“And concerning the techniques of meditation: one can master easily the whole highest buddhi yoga right here, on this Holy Hill where you are now…”
“What can You say about the today’s Lutheran Church in Finland?”
“The concepts of Christianity became the basis of exotericism of the Lutheran Church. And in the past it blended perfectly with the esotericism which had existed on the Finish land long before the coming of Christianity.
“Crusades were, of course, destructive. But in contrast to Russia, where all the good, which had existed before, was destroyed completely by the Inquisition, in Finland some things remained.
“Lutheranism is one of healthiest, ‘democratic’ movements in Christianity. It does not consider the priesthood as the highest ruling caste. The thesis about ‘justification by faith alone’ was suggested by Luther, i.e. the idea that the Church is an indispensable mediator between God and man was refused.
“And such sound Christianity combined very harmonically with the esoteric knowledge which existed on the Finish land from the earliest times.”
“Is there a memory about this knowledge in present Finland?”
“Only that Church is successful which possesses not only exoteric external forms of worship, but also true esoteric knowledge.
“However, you know how it is difficult to find a person able to encompass both exoteric and esoteric knowledge… Of course, the chain of knowledge impartation breaks sometimes…
“We were Those Who had esoteric knowledge.
“Official Lutheranism which exists now in Scandinavia is good in general, but the esoteric knowledge almost disappeared in it…”
… Then the conversation was continued by Freddy.
Freddy:
“Scandinavia! Lakes, rocks, fjords, giant spruces… — subtle beauty of nature of the North! Silent, strong, sturdy people lived there.
“Here it was not possible to live a careless, lazy, and idle life. Such a life was considered shameful, and it was difficult to find a person who tried to live like this. And there was such a person, he or she usually tried to become better, feeling isolation from all others.”
“How did You attain Mergence with the Father being a Lutheran pastor?”
“Through service to God I achieved Divinity.
“And I had a wise tutor.”
“Did he teach You meditations?”
“No, he taught Me the most important thing — to live according to the laws of God.
“A true pastor lives taking care of his flock. And he not only explains them the laws of God, but he lives according to these laws — according to the laws of love and kindness; he teaches people by his own example.
“He helps souls unite with God, while he himself never stands between God and man.
“… I also want to tell you about such everyday life with God which does not become stale, which does not turn into the daily routine of rules and rites.
“Yes, the strength of emotional contact with the Divine Consciousness is great! But I want to speak not about these moments of spiritual ecstasies, but about the life of people in which it is necessary to repair a damaged roof and boats, to grow and reap a harvest during our short northern summers, to store up firewood for winter…
“It was the pastor who took care that people — in their everyday work — cultivated love for God in themselves! He helped to maintain the fire of this love, which burned like a candle, in every heart. The pastor kindled such candles in souls and watched that they did not become dim.
“His sermon was concrete. He chose for conversations themes which were most important for the present moment.
“The lives of all, their hopes and thoughts, were known to him. And the pastor strove to ensure that everyone with his, pastor’s, help learned to perceive oneself always on the palm of God, that all people knew that God knows all their thoughts, hopes, and deeds.
“The pastor taught to live in openness, nakedness of the soul in front of God, Who is not a severe judge punishing people after death, but is our kind Great Father, Who is always near, is always ready to help in life, and will not leave us after death.
“It is the Lutheran Church that by removing a priest as a ‘mediator’ between man and God, made God real and close for every man! A pastor was just an assistant and a spiritual adviser, but not a mediator.
“A pastor also united community’s families into one whole family of people living with God.
“… A divine service in the community was always a celebration where all people gathered; this allowed them to feel their oneness, unity in front of the Heavenly Father.
“And the pastor during divine services tried to fill himself with the Holy Spirit in order to be as best conductor of the Truth of God as possible. In this way, gradually the Mergence became stronger…
“… A natural life in work and in unity with nature helped Me greatly in cognition of the Father.
“You know how beautiful and tender the northern nature is! It does not have splendor and bright colors of the south, but it allows one to feel the subtlety and purity, to fill oneself with silence and transparency!
“In My opinion, it is best to experience and cognize God in such transparent silence!
“I grew up among spruces, pines, and birches in the same way as you did. And I loved nature very much in the land where I was incarnated.
“But I also sought the highest predestination, the highest meaning of existence of everything. The luck of knowledge about the Highest saddened Me…
“Although the New Testament revealed Me a lot, it could not satisfy Me, because it did not give complete information about the most important things: about the meaning of our earthly lives and about where and how to find the Creator.
“I became a pastor mostly because of My desire to help others, to support them in life, to help them believe in their strength, to advise to be strong and do not give up in front of difficulties.
“ … I grew gradually in the purity and calm, expanding with the consciousness and attuning to the purity and calm of forests and lakes… And after some time, this lucid, wide state became usual, natural for Me.
“The aspiration to God helped Me advance further. I aspired to Him and often felt a touch of something that brought amazing tenderness… In that way a conscious contact of the soul with Him became possible for Me…
“Before this, I believed in His Existence sincerely. But now I understood that I could really experience His presence in My life. This gave Me enormous joy, new strength to advance further!
“I began aspiring to be in constant contact with Him in the depth of My spiritual heart.
“After years of such training, I learned to live in constant Mergence with Him.
“Then from the state of Unity with Him, I began looking with His eyes at people, at life situations in which I was engaged.
“During many years of living in Mergence with Him, I got accustomed to this to such a degree that could not think about Myself as about a being separate from Him.
“And when the life of My physical body came to an end, I just infused into Him completely and forever.”
“What do You consider the most important for those going to You?”
“An individual ‘I’ cannot become Me! It has to dissolve, disappear!
“One has to dissolve the boundary between oneself — as a separate ‘I’ — and Me.”
Pastor Larry:
“I incarnated in Scandinavia several times. I love these northern lands! Transparency, purity, and austereness of northern nature create a unique harmony of beauty!
“I went to God gradually: step by step, incarnation after incarnation, developing Myself as a consciousness, transforming Myself into Love. The conditions of the north teach people to be strong, firm, and courageous, to help each other.
“In the last incarnation I was a Lutheran pastor in a small village in the north-eastern part of Sweden. It consisted of several houses located near a river. Around there was a forest consisting manly of high spruces with garlands of cones. Squirrels, hares, bears, foxes inhabited it.
“A measured life in nature helped perceive calm, accustomed to the silence of mind, to the submersion into the inner quietness.
“In this small village I was the only spiritual teacher and the only well-educated person. I loved very much these open, honest people and cared about them. I was a teacher and a doctor. I taught children to read and to write. I healed diseases thanks to knowing many medicinal herbs. I delivered babies. People asked Me for advice and support; they trusted Me…
“It was the state of a soul giving itself to others and wishing nothing for itself. I gave Myself, My love to these people and taught them to appeal to God in every moment of daily life.
“At the same time, I stayed one-to-one with God, because I could not rely on someone except Him.”
“Tell us, please, about Your meditative experience…”
“Odin taught Me to meditate by merging the consciousness with surrounding nature and dissolving in it. And through this, I gradually submerged Myself into the depths of the multidimensional universe. There, in the Primordial Depth, I cognized the Father: the Purest and most Tender Living Boundless Light of the Primordial Consciousness.
“And as soon as I became mature in His Abode, I learned to be this Light and to come, being It, to people.
“In this way, My Mergence with the Father grew stronger up to the moment when I stopped to exist as a separate being.”
Borovik
Once, walking through the forest and gathering mushrooms, we came upon a high hill with a very steep slope. Despite being tired and carrying heavy rucksacks with mushrooms, we felt an unaccountable urge to climb on it.
We climbed and found on the top of the hill, above and beneath it, purest Divine Light, which streamed up like a fountain.
We entered inside the “fountain” and studied it. This place turned out to be remarkable for work, for example, for cleansing the chakras.
We understood that this is a working site of one of the Divine Teachers.
Then we saw Him.
He said that He was called Borovik.
We asked Him to tell about Himself. He replied:
“I was a young son of a local landowner. In that life I studied the Divine wisdom. These lands were Finnish, but we were a Russian family.”
“When it was?”
“1905 — 1945. I was a member of a Lutheran community.”
“Who was Your Tutor?”
“The Pastor Whom you know.
“I grew on this hill. There is a remarkable place of power here, which can help your students as well. Here, there is a ‘fountain’ of the Divine Energy streaming from the Abode of the Creator. With its help, one can ‘inflate’ oneself as a consciousness, like a balloon. In this way — by doing it again and again — one can grow the consciousness quickly, grow it — of the Creator’s Energies!
“I found this place Myself and brought here others. Everyone would take here as much as they could.”
… A Divine Woman — His Mother — came to us.
“I took Her, too, into Me.”
Nearby, a group of other Divine Souls was also present.
“Are They Your Disciples?”
“Not exactly. There was a community where no one considered themselves ‘higher’ or ‘superior’ to others. All we were companions on the Path to the Creator. I walked first.
“You know My Mother very well. Many years ago She helped you to gather mushrooms in this forest.
“Pay attention to the possibility of connecting quite easily, on this place, one’s heart with the Heart of the Absolute and attuning it to the subtlety of the Creator.
“The same can be done on the place of Bartholomew, though in a slightly different manner.
“In this way, one can easily achieve Mergence with the Creator on this place. This is the minimal program that I had mastered.
“Bartholomew told you that Jesus took Him into His Anahata. And I was taken by the One Universal Creator into Him. I did not have apprenticeship with Jesus personally, but I followed His precepts concerning seeking the One Universal Creator — it is this that constitutes the essence of Christ’s Teachings!
“I will be with you always. Remember how I cognized God-the-Father here! And bring your students to this place!”
“Why do you call Yourself by such an unusual name?”
“In childhood I fell very ill… Neither doctors nor priests could help Me… And once My mother appealed to God as she never did: ‘If you really exists, You must help me!’
“And she leaned against the fence of a park.
“A person passing by asked her, ‘Are you okay?’ And helped her to sit onto a bench nearby… It was a Pastor.
“My mother burst into tears and told Him everything.
‘Why don’t you ask advice from God?’ He asked.
‘How?’
‘In the same way as you ask Me. Do you think that God can’t hear you?
‘Don’t you see that His reply came instantly! And now I will help you to hear the rest. Try to hear Him yourself: not with the ears but with the heart!
‘Move with your son to live in the forest. Buy a house in the pine forest near a lake. And live together with God! He will heal your son! Once you move, let Me know; maybe I will help you more!…’
“The mother believed Him. They together with the father sold what they could and bought a small house in this place.
“And I began to recover. I gained not only health and the beauty of nature, but also a spiritual Tutor. People gathered in our home to listen to the Pastor and to learn to love God. In this way, we lived as a community.
“When I grew up, I Myself began spiritual work with those few who were with us.”
“But Why do You have such an usual name?”
“Pastor jokingly called Me so! He told to My mother: ‘Your son will recover! And he will grow healthy as borovik!’ And I grew up!”
John the Baptist
We were invited on a certain date to the forest place of power of Danish Lady.
Having come, we could not recognize Her… Her face could not be seen clearly, and the energy was Divine yet different from Her…
Only after some time, we understood everything and began to laugh together with Her… It turned out that Divine John the Baptist also came and united with Her by the Consciousness!
“John, we waited for meeting with You! Tell, please, about Yourself. In Your incarnation at the time of Jesus were You Divine already?”
“Not exactly.
“I was very big by the size and strength of the consciousness, when I was proclaiming to Hebrews about the advent of Christ. I was a prophet: I could feel and hear God. But I could not say about Myself as Jesus did: ‘I and the Father are One.’
“Later I was incarnated in Australia and was an owner and captain of a merchant sailing ship…”
… John shows the sea… and a sailing ship…
“You ask how did I develop Myself further? — I ‘blew the sails’…
“It was very good for My future spiritual growth to learn to ‘catch the wind’ by the sails…
“In the beginning I learned this when operated the sails of My ship. And later, in meditations I Myself became a ‘sail’, created a ‘sail’ of Myself. I was also the ‘wind’ which blew the sails…
“Do you remember how you mastered Pranava — Mergence with the Flow of the Holy Spirit, combining this with the meditation The Sail?
“In the same way I merged with Pranava: in the beginning with the horizontal Flow above the surface of the sea or land; then — with the Flow going at an angle from a subtler eon; and then I did the same almost vertically.
“In that way I became the Flow that comes from the Abode of the Creator.
“And when I left the body forever, the Creator took Me into Himself…
“This was My path, in brief. Today I continue My work from the non-incarnate state mostly in Australia and Oceania. This is My area. A lot of promising souls are incarnated and grow there.
“Now you know everything about Me.”
“So, was it You Who taught us Pranava meditation?”
“No, it was not Me. But these methods are standard. They are a part of the ‘compulsory program’…”
“John, do you want to tell something to incarnated people through us?”
“Yes.
“I see the true Christianity in you; the Christianity which accords with the Teachings of Jesus Christ given by Him then and with His present opinion.
“But why the faces of many people begin to look mourning when they hear the name Jesus. This must be changed! Jesus is neither an icon nor a statuette! He is Living Divine Joy!
“I do not like pursed lips, cold eyes, and austere faces of parishioners in temples! It is painful for Me when with the name Jesus people kill, burn, beat; when under this holy name they defile the sexual love which, allows people to give one another the highest manifestations of tenderness…
“They say: ‘God suffered, and you, too, have to suffer!’ No! God is not a suffering! God is Love! His essence is joy and bliss! And you have to create exultation of love and joy in yourselves! Let your hearts become filled with joyful and tender calm when you say the name Jesus!
“Jesus does not come to churches where there are gloomy faces and lackluster eyes. He is with those whose hearts are kindled with love when they hear His name.”
Apostle Matthew
We are in the forest of remarkably tall and slender spruces, birches, and aspens. Everywhere around hazel hens are singing joyfully. They want to talk to us, regarding us as their guests!
We enjoy the forest sattva!
In summer here, in the contrast to other places in the forest around, one can gather many chanterelles. But now it is winter, December. Nevertheless, without much effort we gathered many mushrooms. At this time of year, it is not chanterelles but oyster mushrooms that grow here. Oyster mushrooms usually grow on the alder tree. But there are no alder trees here, so they have grown on birches…
… However, we have come here not to the hazel hens and not for gathering mushrooms. Here the Divine Teachers — apostles John and Mark — are waiting for us. And for the first time, apostle Matthew is also present. We even did not know that He, too, lives in the Abode of the Father! All They, together with Divine Finn, Ushastick, and Dobrynia closely stay here around one of the favorite places of Jesus Christ — His place of Samadhi.
Jesus here, as well as on His other places of power known to us, is always present and available for conversation. The unique feature of this particular place of His is that here He helps one to activate not only the spiritual heart, but also the front meridian. This meridian plays a very important role in the functioning of the emotional sphere and allows one to experience fully the Divine Bliss. Here Jesus also helps worthy disciples to substitute all energies in their bodies with His Bliss…
Jesus speaks about the Bliss which one cognizes on this place thus:
“Such am I. Such is every One of Us — Those Who entered the Creator completely and became His Integral Parts!
“Bring here, to Me, everyone whom I entrust to you!”
… Then Jesus switched our attention to His Disciple — apostle Matthew.
“… How did You attain the Father, Matthew?”
“It happened not in the incarnation which is known to you.
“After it I was incarnated in England and sailed the seas. I loved the Ocean of the Creator, embraced It with Myself; as a consciousness I submerged into It together with the head — and became It!
“Jesus helped Me. He led Me into Himself. Since the moment when He accepted Me as His disciples, He has always been with Me.”
“What do You do now?”
“I give silence, wipe tears of those who want to cognize Me, but are not capable of doing this yet… I submerge those who are mature into Me, caress them in Me… And I help to remember about Me those walking the Path to Me…
“… In the past, for a long time I had been seeking promising souls on the seas around the British Isles, but it was in vain. I carried the youth on My Hands, thought of them as of sea cadets of Jesus Christ. I called them so and gave them to understand that this name is bestowed upon them. And some of them did understand this… But having grown up, they became completely absorbed in the material plane. And that — remained in their minds just as a childish game!…
“This is why now I am with you.”
“What would You advise us, Matthew?”
“The spiritual situation on the Earth is very lamentable! People do not know and do not want to know what God is and where to seek Him… This must be changed!…”
“Was Your Gospel distorted?”
“No, it was not. Only some words can be translated better.”
“Could You tell about Your incarnation at the time when Jesus Christ was on the Earth?”
“I prefer that you perceive Me as the One sailing the seas, loving the earthly oceans and the unearthly Ocean! I like this image more!”
“When were You incarnated in England?”
“In the twelfth and seventeenth centuries…”
“Were You incarnated two times?”
“No, only once.”
“?”
“This is a joke! I had a wife. As the captain of the ship, I could take her with Me on journeys.
“Later, she, too, attained Me in the Abode of the Creator!
“In the next incarnation in the seventeenth century, she was a hefty man. He also sailed. And He did everything as I told her: repeated Me, repeated My Path completely.
“When she was My wife, her name was Clara. And the next time…”
… He came to us to show that appearance of His: a broad-shouldered man with a beautiful muscular body, a face radiating joy, and very gentle charm…
“You were acquainted with Him, although did not have conversations. It was to the northwest of this place several years ago…
“He began as a sea cadet. He was the only sea cadet of Jesus Christ who dedicated Himself to Me completely — and cognized Me!
“… I want to say also a few words about how to distinguish between true and false religious views of people.
“I mean that teaching people to pray by panhandling something from God is very harmful, because it encourages growth of one’s egocentrism.
“The true religiosity has to be manifested as a constant work on changing oneself in accordance with what God expects from incarnated people. It also implies service to God, rather than service to oneself. And one has to serve God, first of all, by spreading true knowledge about Him and about the Path to Him.”
“I, Mark, greet you! With all My heart — I am with you! And with My hands I help you to carry the load which you shouldered!”
“Mark, You told us that You, like Mathew, after living on the Earth at the time of Jesus, was incarnated again — in England. Tell us, please, who were You when You came to that incarnation? And how did You cognize the Creator?”
“I had no memory about the past incarnation in the mind. Yet, there is also the memory of the soul, consciousness. Born in England at the time of domination of Catholicism, I felt Myself a caged bird. The soul, which has touched the Great One, cannot be accustomed to living in a cage, even in a very comfortable one!
“Imagine: the name of Jesus would cause rejoicing in My heart, while the Church — repulsion in the soul! I had no possibility even to read the Gospel which I wrote in My past incarnation…”
“Who did teach You when You were incarnated in England?”
“Jesus…
“All of Us, Who had come into contact with Jesus, next time were born with hearts in which Jesus lived. Wherever We were — Jesus was always with Us. He had ‘breathed’ into Us the True Life — and we ‘flew’ to other lands, to other lives carrying the Light of Jesus in Ourselves. Like ringed birds, We all were betrothed to the Love of Jesus…
“Do you remember, I told you once that after resigning from the post of ambassador, I began receiving messages from God?… I began hearing and seeing Jesus then!”
“Tell about this in detail, please!”
“I was an ambassador. Once, before starting on a journey with a mission from the embassy, I came to a temple and prayed that God gave Me strength and ability to speak the words which are pleasing to My Lord… I thought that I was asking for the affairs of My embassy…
“Suddenly, bright Light flooded around… — and I saw Jesus!…
“He said:
‘The work which you do is not the one you must do, My beloved Mark!… You should ask from Me words of other kind; you should concern yourself with other kind of affairs!…
‘I will fulfil your request, though in a way other than you expect: I will teach you — what to do and how to speak!…
‘Resign from your post and hand over your affairs. I will entrust you with a different post — to be My Messenger! From now on, you will do what your Lord wants!’
“… When I had resigned from My post, they counted Me insane… and allowed Me to leave to a family castle to live there in seclusion…
“Since then, only Jesus remained in My life! It was enough to utter His Name and He immediately manifested Himself, filling with Golden Shining everything around Me and inside Me. He became more real than everything material that surrounded Me… I talked to Him — Living! He showed Me My past life…, the episodes of His life… He called Me gently by My former name — Mark…
“Then He began to show Himself differently — as Universal, One with the Father! He taught Me meditations of Mergence with Him and submerged Me into the Father.
“I asked Him:
‘How can I help people?’
“He answered:
‘Look: I have touched many souls, and everyone who aspires to Me receives My help — as you do.
‘There is a transforming touch of God on a soul; after it the former life in sins and vices becomes impossible, unthinkable for the soul. It is called the moment of truth.
‘Very few people are ready for such a touch. I will help you to find them. One has to learn to see them — and see the moment when one may touch the soul of man in this way…
‘You gave Me your heart forever — and I give you forever Mine, which is One with the Father! I will be always with you, in you! I will give you the words to speak My Truths! I will give you the Strength of Spirit which cannot be shaken by trials! I will teach you to see the moment when with My Fire you may touch souls.
‘The Father will live in you as He lives in Me!’
“I fulfilled this commandment of Jesus.
“I found those few to whom I could give His Teachings in all their fullness.
“Jesus also dictated a book through Me, which became a textbook for Me and some of My disciples…
“Unfortunately, what I had done did not remain among people for long…”
“I am glad that you came here…
“Do you remember how on this place, when Vladimir brought you here, you for the first time could see Jesus with the eyes of the soul and received His blessing to continue your efforts?… You were at the very beginning of the Path to the Father…”
“I do remember it… I remember it in all details!
“Philip, please tell about how You saw Jesus for the first time.”
“Well…
“At that time, we had been waiting for the advent of the Messiah for a long time…
“… One day My sister ran into the house crying:
‘Philip, He has come!…’
“She could say nothing more…
“Many people went to the open space out of the village, where He wanted to speak.
“A lot of people had gathered, but there were no usual hubbub and bustle; everybody waited…
“Suddenly, amazing transparent silence fell over the place.
“And Jesus began to speak.
“He spoke not loudly, but it seemed that His soft voice sounded not outside, but inside everyone who listened… And whatever far from Him people stood, they could hear each His word…
“… Later, many times I experienced that amazing state when Jesus submerged all the listeners into His Consciousness and spoke with each soul as if one-to-one, however many people were around… And everyone knew that Jesus spoke personally to him…
“… When the sermon was finished, people dispersed overfilled with what they heard. They walked in silence as if fearing to spill the invaluable truths with which Jesus filled their souls.
“And I… could not move: My legs as if stuck to the ground…
“I did not know how I would live further without Him… Everything I had been doing before, had lost its meaning…
“But only He could teach to do the things about which He told…
“Jesus came to Me Himself and called Me by My name as if He knew Me… He asked, do I want to follow Him?…
“I answered:
‘I do, Lord! Wherever You go — take Me with You!…’
“Jesus touched My shoulder and said:
‘Come, you may follow Me…’”
* * *
“… Philip, tell us please about how Jesus taught…”
“It is difficult to convey it with words… He taught by all His life; He taught by each His deed and word!…
“He exposed in us that which was imperfect. He taught to root out vices in oneself, because one cannot approach the Father having not become the Pure Light!
“He taught meditation: taught by submerging us into His states, by explaining how to enter them, how to retain them in whatever hard conditions our bodies are.
“Commissioned He one of us to do something, worked He Divine miracles in our presence… — every His word and deed changed something in those who listened and followed Him.
“Since the time we met Jesus, we had no life other than the life with Him. Everyone renounced everything they had in the earthly world — in order to follow the Lord!
“But it was not enough to become One with the Father, as Jesus taught. One has to renounce also the ‘I’…
“He did not have much time…
“… We had to complete the transfiguration of Ourselves and to cognize the fullness Mergence with the Heavenly Father — when We were walking to different countries carrying His Teachings to people. And Jesus was always with every One of Us…”
“Do You want to say something more, Philip?”
“I would like to, but there are no words in the world to express this… I would like to tell about the Love for Jesus… I will tell about this without words to anyone who ask Me…
“I want to tell also about the Christ’s Heart. Many people use these words when edifying others … Yet do they understand what these words mean?
“It is one of the most great discoveries that a seeking Christian can make!
“Christ’s Heart is larger than anything that ordinary people may see in the earthly life!
“Therefore, just by reasoning about It in words one cannot gain even a slightest understanding of It!
“This Heart embraces with Its Love everything! In this Heart there is an infinite Source of Love and life-giving Power! Like an infinitely large Sun, this Heart shines beneath the entire world!
“By feeling this Heart, you can feel also the Love of Christ which He carried in Himself to people
“Only having felt this Heart as yours, can you understand the fullness of this Knowledge…
“Therefore, I say: the duty of every true Christian is to strive to become the Christ’s Heart, so that to become truly similar to Him!
“… I am ready to help all who seek Jesus, who seek the Father!
“Jesus and many other Sons and Daughters of the One Father breathed life into your undertakings which will create a new spiritual spring on the planet Earth! We All are glad to give Our help to you!”
“I have been waiting for you! Listen:
“By the moment when We saw Jesus for the first time, We had heard a lot about Him from John the Baptist and had been waiting for His coming. But despite the fact that We had been anticipating it and preparing Ourselves, nevertheless a miracle happened — the great miracle of being with Him, Living!
“None of Us was ready for encompassing at once the knowledge which Jesus brought… He taught Us… He taught when He was speaking or keeping silence, when He was edifying others, when He was eating together with Us meager food shared equally, when We had no place to stay overnight, when people were praising Him and when they were blaming Him… Every moment of being near Him was education for Us…
“I would like to recount one episode… It was before the beginning of Our apostolic Service. Once, Jesus sent some of Us to heal and to preach in a village, but He Himself did not go with Us…
“We walked joyfully and proudly: Jesus entrusted Us to heal with His Power!
“In the village, We tried to speak like He would speak and repeated His words. Then We began to heal… But nothing happened… There were no miracles… We only incurred ridicule:
‘Where is your God?! You are deceivers!’
“… We came back disgraced…
“Jesus met Us with words:
‘Where is your faith? Where is your love? Where was your Father when you were healing?’
“We answered:
‘He was with You…’
‘If He is with Me and not with you, Andrew, then who will heal? You?
‘When you are doing His Work — the Father rather than Andrew must be in your body! It is the Father that gives the blessing and power; He does the work with your hands! If there is no His Will, words cannot help: the lame will remain lame, the blind will not recover the sight…’
“And Jesus said to Us:
‘Go back!’
“We answered:
‘We cannot, because nobody will believe us there anymore! Let us go to other village…’
“Jesus said again:
‘Go back and let the Father go in each of you! Do not be afraid of ridicule! And if they want to beat you, also do not be afraid! Do not be afraid of death! Do not be afraid of pain! Heal those pointed by Him and show on them His Power and His Love! I will be with you!’
“… And We went. People laughed at us. And stones flew. But each of Us felt the Light of Love of Jesus and the Power of the Father… And even stones flew past…
“Mockers did not come to be healed. Came the miserable who had great love for the Lord. And they said:
‘If He wills, heal me a sinner!…’
“And they were healed. We praised Jesus and the Father and said:
‘Go and do not sin again!’
“And the Power of Father was in Us.
“In this way We mastered the law of the Higher Power: There must be no one between the one whom you are helping and God: any trace of ‘I’ does not allow the Power of the Father to flow… The Father can manifest Himself through your body only if there is no you as a lower self.
“It could not be mastered at once. But with time, it became more and more easy to be a Vine!”
“When You went preaching — without money, without any support except God — how did You get by, how did You survive?”
“We thought about this least of all. Sometimes We were given a feast, sometimes — a beating. In this way We went preaching with Jesus; in this way each of Us went afterward according to His lot…
“And if We remained hungry, it meant that the Bread of the Lord had not satiated the souls to whom We had come, and We grieved only that they remained hungry…
“Or, if the seed of Lord’s words fell on rocky soil, how could We grieve for being stoned if We knew that the seeds of His Love would not sprout there?!
“It is easy to live with absolute faith! Jesus taught Us this: If you have to accept death, you accept it. If God prolongs your life, you serve Him!
“It is so easy! — to trust absolutely Him, Who is with you and in you! Your strengths, your hands, your mouth, your thoughts serve Him, and He will provide to you all the rest: all that He considers necessary for you…
“Each day of life increased His Glory and brought Us closer to Him!
“The more time passed the less of the former Andrew remained in Me, and the more was of Andrew the First-Called — Jesus’ Andrew, Andrew-Son of the Heavenly Father…
“And, crucified on a cross, True Andrew preached. When the guards wanted to release Me, they could not even come near…
“I was coming to Jesus!
“The Father willed so: I was going away — to Him!…
“… It was easy for Us! It was much easier for Us than for Others Who reached the Father! Since the moment We saw Jesus for the first time, He was with Us.
“We were not like rivers which have to make their way. No: We merged with a great River which had already made Its way to the Ocean. Jesus showed Us the Way! We walked nearby; We walked with Him just a bit behind! It was easy for Us!
“He showed the Way and gave the power to walk! He taught Us to unite with the Power of the Father! And each of Us wished to complete His Path and enter the Abode of the Father as Jesus did. The cross death was desired by Us!
“We walked the Path of Jesus!
“We carried His words to people!
“We did what He entrusted to Us!
“Jesus was always with Us!
“And now We are — with Him — in the Heavenly Father!”
* * *
“Affliction comes when man remains alone, without God.
“If man lives not for God, affliction comes.
“One must not live so! One must live in Me and for Me!
“… The first feat of the soul on the Path to the Father is the feat of being aware of His constant presence. Then one begins to live feeling oneself before Him. Then ‘on His scales’ one weighs all thoughts and deeds…
“The second feat of the soul is the feat of serving Him. Every thinking and deed must be done for Him. Through mergence of the first two feats one realizes full devotion to Him.
“The summit of soul’s life is the third feat — Mergence — when you give yourself to Him entirely and do not think about yourself anymore, forgetting the personal — in Great Love for Him. Then the great sacrament of Joining, Reunification is possible. When everything that was me becomes love and is given as a gift to Him — then the giver disappears because he has given away everything, including himself.
“The one who comes into Him says: ‘There are only You — Father!’
“The One Who comes out from Him says: ‘I and the Father are One!’
“And then the Highest becomes possible — that which Jesus demonstrated to people by His life. This means that one realizes the Mission, being not an individuality anymore!”
“Jesus was with Us; Jesus was in Us; He united Our hearts in Himself! Through the Love of Jesus — We became One with the Father! The Heart of Jesus became the Heart of every One of Us!
“The Love of Jesus smelts, transfigures, heals!
“God is Love! Jesus demonstrated this to people!
“Receive His Love into your hearts! This is the Love of the Father! This is the Love of every One of Us!
“Here — in His Abode — All Who have cognized Him are One!
“… I will help everyone who wants to master the Love that Jesus said about. It is enough just to address to Me recalling My name!
“I am One with the Father, and there is nothing impossible for Me! By the Power of the Father, I will create everything what is needed for teaching, all favorable conditions for development of My disciple! There is no power in the universe that can thwart this!
“But let him who asks Me for help, whom I will guide, make on his part all due efforts; without this the successful advancement is not possible!
“He must be sensitive in order not to overlook My hints and guiding signs.
“He must be brave to believe in the possibility of a direct guidance of God and follow it in his life among atheists and pseudo-believers.
“He must be freedom-loving to be capable of breaking away from habitual ‘earthly’ things and climbing to the heights which others consider unreachable.
“After all, is it possible to become Him Who was Jesus in a lesser way?”
Jesus Christ
“I am equal among All Who constitute the Essence of the Father. There are no ‘less equal’ and ‘more equal’ among Us, because We All are One!
“And, as anyone of Us, I represent the Father, independent of by what Name He is called.
“Unfortunately, so few people understand this! This is why there are so many evolutionary ‘recoils’, tragedies of individual souls and whole nations! This is why the evolutionary perspective of the planet Earth is so low now!”
* * *
… When I said the name Jesus, the sun began to shine through the clouds of cold gray day… He came and filled the room with the Light of the Divine Consciousness…
“Why are you afraid of speaking on behalf of My Name? Am I worse than Others?”
“I am afraid of making harm by inaccuracy of my perception… Because so much is written and said about You already… Do we need more?”
“Why are you not afraid of speaking with Others? You do know Me! And why do you think that those who wrote about Me two thousand years ago knew Me better? Look, I am here with you now!
“It is about this that I want to speak! I would like to say this to people who love Me, seek Me, but for some reason dare not appeal to Me directly! I want to change the situation when ‘Jesus’ is an icon for ‘praying’, when only the Bible can speak about Me, despite the fact that it was changed and interpreted by people…
“I am Living! I am here, in your room! And at the same time, I can be with many of My people, because I am omnipresent! Because I and the Father are One!
“I would like to give this possibility to communicate with Me — to all who love Me, to all who seek Me!
“I want to speak now, with your help, about the reality of Jesus for everyone!
“Let every person, who is reading these words, experience Me standing now behind him or her, and with love ask Me to enter his or her heart — the spiritual heart…
“I will be with everyone now — with everyone who wants this!
“The Light and Love of the Father come with Me into you!
“This is yours by the right of the children of our Heavenly Father!
“If you want, I will come always, always when you call Me into you heart!
“You will learn to recognize Me!
“You will learn to see Me!
“You will learn to hear Me!
“I will be helping you!
“I will teach you the laws of God, the laws of Love!
“I am always ready to be with you!
“I am near! I am ready to be in your spiritual heart! I am as real now as I was real when I spoke to Paul!
“If the Light of Love is burning in your heart, then I am already in you!
“Give this Light to people!
“I have repeated this many times through prophets! I came to the Earth for this purpose, so that My and Father’s Love may dwell in your heart!
“You ask how you can know that this is true, that I am actually now with you? Look: I am answering your question… And it will be so always if you want this! I will come, I will help, I will answer your questions, because I love you!
“It is for this purpose that I was on the Earth 2000 years ago! It is for this purpose that now I am here! I would like to show once again the Path to the Abode of Our Heavenly Father — your and My Father! Love is the Path to the Father!
“You can begin right now to learn Love! Experience how My Love and your love strive to shine for all from your heart — to those who know Me and those who do not!
“Do you know by what you are different from Me now? I am just bigger: My Heart is the whole Ocean of the Father giving Love. While you just learn to do this.
“I love you! And what about you?
“Yes?! It means you did it! But do not be proud: you will have to do much more!”
* * *
We are in the winter forest. Everything is filled with quietness. The morning begins. Soon from the horizon the sun will appear. But now the light is just embracing the white trunks of birches and is sinking in the verdure of spruces. Mist from the melting snow covers the sleeping earth with a soft coverlet… Everything is sleeping… Calm and silence…
I enter the place of power where Jesus is always present. Here His Light fills a clearing. This Light, like sunlight, is the Light of Jesus’ Love. It is felt by birches and spruces growing here: they differ from the trees which stand around by their particular beauty and power.
A hare perplexed by my coming leaves this place with great reluctance, looking back at me discontentedly. It slept so cozily in the Love of Jesus…
… In contrast to almost all people, many animals feel very well the Holy…
… Jesus… He approaches with His Face to me…
… The majority of people are used to believe that one can communicate with Jesus only in temples… But He is omnipresent!
And there are special natural places — the places of power, holy places — where this can be done especially easily. Here one can perceive words of Jesus, merge with Him by the consciousness, dissolve in Him in the easiest way…
… The meditation is “There is no me, only Jesus is”…
Now Jesus begins speaking:
“Try to experience how many souls I hold on My hands on all the continents of the Earth, how many people call Me: ‘Lord Jesus, come to us!’ This is My ‘field’ on which I work. This is the ‘field’ which I sowed, and now there is a multitude of souls devoted to Me.
“… The climate on the Earth is inhospitable now. I am glad that in the silence of your northern forests there grows one of the Branches of My Love — your School, which is My School as well! Hesychia and love filling the spiritual hearts are the base of the Straight Path to the Father! This is what you can give to the world from Me! Do this for Me, do this for the Heavenly Father!
“One has to unite people in their love for the Father! One has to explain them that not new Pharisees but Living God — our Loving Heavenly Father — helps everyone who directs the eyes of the soul to Him!
“Love transfigures souls! Transfiguration and purification of souls in love allow the Light of God to warm and consecrate the life of such people!
“Create love on the Earth!
“All the Earth is open for you! Tell everywhere on it about Me and Father!
“Spiritual hearts living in freedom — this defines one’s success on the spiritual path! Let people’s hearts be not constrained by anything! Where there are such conditions? — in the forest in nature!
“Accept on yourself the mission of spreading the true knowledge about God, about Me! You are My apostles! And you have to transform yourselves from the state of apostles — into the state of Messiahs! This can be realized only through service. Realization of Missions from Me can turn man into Me!
“All the countries have to begin to speak the language of the new knowledge about God and about the meaning of life! I invite everyone to participate in this work! This requires, first of all, that one overcome one’s own inertia.
“… You know that the main meaning of the word religion is Mergence! To walk the religious Path means to direct all the strength of the soul to achieving this Mergence.
“It is the Yoga that Krishna taught about! It is the Yoga taught by Me: ‘Love your Lord with all the heart, with all the soul!…’
“The fullness of love for Me is Mergence with Me!
“If you love Me, you forgot about yourself and do everything only for Me, and then only from within Me.
“‘To dissolve in Love…”, ‘to abandon the “I”’ — and then there remain no personal, egoistic interests!
“What prevents one from doing this? The vices of the soul! They are like dark spots, dark contaminations that do not allow man to dissolve completely. They are like ‘hooks’ that attach man to the earthly…
“… I want to tell also about love…
“Some believe that love is only meditations…
“In reality, love has very many aspects!
“I, too, am Love!
“And one of the most important manifestations of love is to care about others. Only he who truly cares about Me, that is about My souls — only he is worthy of Me! Living by others’ interests, he forgets about himself. And only such a self-forgetting soul is needed to Me: I let in only such souls!
“By forgetting about yourself, you gain Me!
“To care means to realize the interests of others: what do they need, what is most favorable for them from the standpoint of the Evolution of God.
“Serve Me! — as I served in the past, as I do it now!
“He who refuses to serve Me is not worthy of Me!
“He who is not worthy of Me cannot live in Me!
“Learn to be — for all — only Pure Light, only Love!
“Love means care, forgiveness, respect, devotion…
“Develop in yourselves missing qualities; I need in you not only meditation!
“Hold my souls in your hands and under their weight submerge into Me!
“… Yes, it is not easy to learn to be Divine Love! One has to have power to realize the Will of the Father. And it is in service to the Father that one’s heart grows and the arms of the heart become stronger!
“As a fire becomes brighter, even so the Love of God — with your efforts — can be ignited in many hearts!
“Your fire has been built already, and the Divine Flame burns in your hearts. Yet if you do not support it with your service, it will fade.
“Kindle new hearts with the flame of Divine Love! Use every chance for this purpose, because there may be no more chances!
“One has to bring to people the truth about their Father! The wave of new knowledge about God has to go throughout the planet and fill human souls! And where there are Lord’s seeds in human souls — there will be sprouts!
“Let all other life purposes will disappear for you; let only I remain for you!
“The totality of My Beingness — everyone who strives to become Me has to master it! With the feeling of My Grandiosity he has to perform his actions! He must act not as an ordinary person but as a consciousness coessential to Me! If he embraces the entire Earth with himself, if he feels himself coessential to the Consciousness of the Creator, if he feels that he brings to people of the Earth the truth from the Father — he cannot become faint-hearted before any task on the Earth!
“Look at your service from within Me! Approach this task from My Greatness! And then all the indecisiveness and hesitations will disappear! One has to strive to act in earthly situations not from the body but from within Me!”
“What do we need to do to change more successfully the worldview of people? Only a few of them want the true knowledge!”
“One has to try to grow in people the ability to love, try to help them understand that it is love that brings one to God! Also you can help them to feel the touches of God. And then some of them, not all, will aspire to Me!
“Some seeds fall on rocky soil, yet this does not mean that one does not have to sow! And I will show you where to sow.
“Explain to people that the desire to give rather than to receive is the most important thing!
“Personal cognition of Me is a perquisite of service to Me!
“One had to cognize Me not for one’s own sake, not for one’s own blissful states, but in order to give My Love to others more successfully, in order to serve Me! Only then one can come to Mergence with Me!
“And remember: it is a basic right of the soul — to become one with the Father!
“… Through you God wants to help many people!”
“What do we need to do now for this?”
“Be open for the Power of God to come through you to the Creation!
“You have to be always ‘an open window’, a passage from the Creator to the world of the Creation:
“I am Door — one comes to Creator through Me!
“I am Logos — I say His Words to people!
“I am Vine — through our bodies Great Power grows, which brings fruits to ripening souls!”
“How can one learn to stay always in Mergence?”
“All the chakras have to be filled with the state of the Sun of God. Learn to live in this state! The Sun of God has to shine through your bodies — the Sun in which you and I are one.”
“Tell us, please, more about Yourself if possible…”
“To the incarnation known to people I came from the Father! I came to fulfill what was predicted in the Scriptures and to demonstrate the Love of the Heavenly Father to people. I came to show to people the Way by all My life.
“… The body of boy-Jesus, educated in traditions of Judaic faith, could not comprehend at once all the knowledge about My future course of life, all the fullness of Father's Wisdom and Power. I felt inside Me Great Love and Power, coming from the depths of Me, but it was not yet the knowledge that I am the Messiah to come that prophecies say about…
“In that earthly life, I had to unite with the Father in such a way that Power and Love of the Father could be manifested freely to the world through My body; also in order that great miracles could be possible!
“Yes, miraculous phenomena occurred in My life since birth. But I had to master manifesting consciously the Will and Power of the Father. It was necessary for making possible My broad preaching to people — preaching of the laws of Father’s Love!
“The laws of Jews of this time required to avenge, to hate, to kill… But I knew and carried Father’s Love to people!
“… From a certain age, having cognized silence inside My spiritual heart, I began speaking with Him.
“And gradually, having expanded in the Infinity of the Creator, I began to perceive Myself as the chosen by Him for the Great Work.
“When I reached the age of thirteen, He led Me travel to many countries, where I received the spiritual knowledge accumulated by humanity, including meditation techniques which were necessary for leading worthy ones to the Father…
“… I cognized the Teachings of Gautama Buddha — the laws of love and compassion, the laws of non-attachment to earthly things.
“… I cognized the Teachings of Krishna about the Path of bhakti — cordial love for the beloved Creator. And I saw that there is no other way to cognition of God but the Way of the spiritual heart.
“… In Egypt I received initiations and understood the truths about the necessity of keeping the secret which protects the highest stages of the Path from the unworthy.
“I easily cast away the ‘husk’ of rites and legends, submerging Myself into the essence of the Teachings…
“I preached and taught by Myself in different countries. There are stories about My earthly life which were not included in the New Testament. They can reveal to those who are interested the details of that part of My life… But this is not the main thing…
“Afterward I came back to Judaea in order to begin that part of My Service about which almost all people on the Earth know now. I brought to people Love of the Father and His Teachings. I accepted death, and then I rose, demonstrating through this the omnipotence of the Father!
“I showed the Way! And may it be cleared and extended |
