But what prevents people from living in the same way? Probably, they just do not know how. You can read about this in our books, in which we explain the ways of eating adequately and living in ethical purity and harmony with the surrounding multidimensional world, including all the diverse of forms of life in the Creation and the Creator Himself! After this, you can start following this Path! All our books and films will be of great help to you. Your life then will become filled with health and happiness, and paradise will be inside your body while it is alive, and after its death you will also live in paradise, close to the Creator.
And for some of you, perhaps, even the Abode of the Creator will become your eternal Home.
... I have cognized Him and I can freely enter into the Mergence with Him, although I am completely aware of the fact that I have not yet exhausted all the possibilities of my spiritual growth.
God tells me that I will live in this body on the Earth for 20 more years. I will dedicate these years to my further self-development and to providing spiritual help to you, as I always did during my entire adult life in this incarnation.
My autobiography can be found in the book [11], but since the time that I wrote it, many new things have happened and many new prospects have appeared. That is why I will only briefly retell here what I had written before.
I was born in “communist” Russia and raised as an atheist. After receiving a university education as a biologist-ecologist, I defended my dissertation on the experimental study of the regularities of formation of adult behavior under the influence of factors that affected one at early age. I taught physiology at a medical university and then worked in medicine for about 30 years, being engaged in neurophysiology, maternal-fetal medicine, sexology, obstetrics, etc.
Then I met people who followed the path of seeking spiritual truths, became a sincere follower of the Orthodox Church for many years, and, as a scientist, took a great interest in experimentations in the spiritual field. These experiments frequently gave positive results. I began to share this new knowledge with other people and... was discharged from the research institute due to this and deprived of the opportunity to work in an official field of science. After this, I “got by” by doing various jobs such as being an assistant at a laboratory or as being a laborer. During this time, I became a real disciple of God and formed a methodological system for teaching the art of psychical self-regulation. Then, after personally receiving the blessing of Jesus Christ, I began to teach this system in houses of culture and youth clubs.
This gave excellent outcomes: people were healed from serious diseases, which medicine* was not able to cure, and rose again to start living in joy, harmony, and love. However, the most important thing was that they were able to perceive themselves as souls during those classes, they stopped identifying themselves with their material bodies, and they felt clear touches of the Holy Spirit. This, in reality and on their personal experience, proved to them the Existence of God.
Afterwards, my missionary activity extended beyond the limits of Saint Petersburg: I gave lectures and conducted mass healing sessions and classes in different cities of Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Poland, and others. On the initiative of the doctor A.S.Romen, a well-known popularizer of the very basic levels of psychical self-regulation, I began to publish my first books.
I constantly listened to the guiding instructions of God and learned to hear quite easily and then to see Jesus Christ and other Divine Teachers, the Representatives of the Creator, Who are called the Holy Spirit in aggregate. The studies of spiritual literature of different schools, which were realized under Their guidance, and personal acquaintance with the religious life of the followers of diverse religious movements have allowed me to easily go beyond the sectarian narrow-mindedness, which was predominant in Russia at that time and in which hatred towards participants of other religions was cultivated, replacing love, in which God, in the outlook of a huge number of the believers, became displaced by the figures of a devil, demons, witches, vampires, and other evil spirits…
Along almost all those years that had passed from the time of my dismissal due to my popularization of religion, I had been under an intensive shadowing of the KGB. They even tried to start my criminal prosecution and for many months searched for compromising materials but were not able to find anything. The prosecutor — an upright man — found courage to close this case and gave me advice to quit my job as quickly as possible, because otherwise it would be even worse…
It is interesting that during the years of the Soviet rule, the KGB was aimed at the persecution of those who were contributing to the popularization of Orthodoxy. Nevertheless, after the Perestroika, which was headed by M.S.Gorbachov, the same KGB was suddenly redirected… to defend Orthodoxy, and they began to persecute non-Orthodox believers… So, if in the previous years I had been persecuted for the agitation in favor of the Orthodox Church, after Perestroika I had been persecuted — with the same zeal — for the fact that I had “outgrown” Orthodoxy, ceased to “fit” in its scope, and begun to teach the ethical purity suggested by God and the cognition of Him, Who is considered... incognizable by the Orthodox Church…
The KGB was so zealous in its attempts to shadow me that when I finally managed to get out of my terrible communal flat into a separate one, some people visited my new home in my absence in order to inspect it… Nothing disappeared from there then, but irrefragable proofs of the presence of strangers were there. This had repeated for about 10 times.
On my own experience, I got to know that which is called “external observation”, which lasted for months.
There were many other very tough occurrences… But I wrote about only some of them in the first edition of this book (1995), and I do not want to remind our readers once again about the deeds of devils in a book about God.
* * *
Having established myself in the status of a disciple of God, being guided by Him both in my personal development and in my service, and having accepted the principles of a monastic life for myself, I realized very clearly that the true service to Him is incompatible with any egocentric motives, whether it is a desire for material enrichment or a desire to put oneself on a “pedestal of glory”.Specifically, I never sought to earn money through teaching. When my educational activity was realized on the base of state organizations, participants deposited certain amounts of money to accounts of those organizations, and from the latter I received a tiny salary. However, when people gathered around me in an unofficial manner, I never asked for any money, because they were my best friends and I loved them! I even did not have such a thought — to sell my love for money!
On the contrary, when I myself had money, I sometimes gave it to those who were in difficult financial situations and called this “scholarships”. There was nothing more important for me than their success on the spiritual Path! Serving the Evolution of the Universal Consciousness, I did not distinguish between the successes of my friends and mine: we all were involved in the United Evolutionary Flow, which was perceived by me as one whole.
The same thing happened in regard to a “pedestal of glory”, namely, I felt that I was just a part of the Evolutionary Flow directed towards the Creator, into Him. I never had the desire to create from myself a center of attraction for other people. No, I rather stood aside and just helped others to move to Him, by giving them different hints on how to advance on this Path. “There is no me, there is only God and those who are going to Him!” — this was the principle of life that He explained to me, and I accepted it very easily and interacted with my companions on the basis of it.
Nevertheless, I was horrified when sometimes I observed what some of my followers, who started giving classes on the basis of the techniques developed by me, turned these teachings into… The use of even perfect methods of spiritual work, while the ethical component is ignored, resulted in severe damage to people who had entrusted their destinies to the teachers that acted on my behalf. I described some of such cases in [11,19-24], but in fact there were many more of them. I drastically broke off my relationship with such “teachers” and took off my blessing for teaching from them.
* * *
The true mechanisms of spiritual evolution can be understood only on the basis of the integral picture of the structure of the Absolute and of evolutionary processes that take place in Him — rather than on the basis of beliefs of these or those groups of people.We acquaint you with such an integral picture of scientific-religious philosophical knowledge through our books and films.
It is necessary to spread this knowledge among people of all countries so that every person can attain on the Earth a harmonious and happy existence lacking sorrows and diseases, so that everyone can live an abundant life after the death of the body, so that we can prevent such phenomena as crimes, wars, drug addictions, suicides, madness, etc.
And this is not only our personal desire but such is the Will of the Creator.
We understand that it is not easy to introduce serious philosophical knowledge in the consciousnesses of the masses of people: those people who have already turned away from religious doctrines after seeing their inconsistency and even absurdity, as well as those who are accustomed to relying on ritualism instead of studying and fulfilling the Teachings of God.
Such transformations can not be done quickly, at once, and another reason for this is the resistance of those for whom religion became… a convenient “feeder”.
Another obstacle that is always encountered in such situations is the inertia of thinking of the masses of psychogenetically young souls…
In spite of everything, we need to try to spread this knowledge for the benefit of namely every worthy person and for the benefit of God!
How it’s possible to do this? The best way is by introducing it into the systems of school and university education, through special programs on television and radio, through work of journalists, etc.
Science of the Development of Souls
There is a science that studies the regularities of behavior formation. It is called ethology or behaviorism. The authors of this and our other books are in their number.
… Have you, reader, even asked yourself questions: Why are people so different by their characters and qualities of the souls? Why do some of them have malicious, mean, violent, lying, dull, lazy, hyper- or hypo- or homosexual characters, while others are altruistic, sincere, honest, kind, and forgiving? Why does someone have a very low developed intellect and is satisfied with primitive entertainments only, while others are highly reasonable, striving to disinterestedly help others, and searching for the highest knowledge and spiritual development? What does it depend on? What determines such drastic differences?
Genetic-endocrine factors may play a certain role here. For example, the increased production of adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones in the corresponding glands of internal secretion contributes to the formation of energy (or even excitable and aggressive) character. Chronically low levels of these hormones lead to inertia, lethargy, and inactivity...
Some damaging factors that affect a mother during her pregnancy can cause abnormalities in the development of certain brain structures of the fetus. This may result in such remote consequences as a disorder of sexual orientation of a person after he or she reaches sexual maturity [4,11].
An adequate contact of a child with the mother (or with those who substitute her) play a very important role in the socialization (i.e., in the formation of a “kindred” attitude towards the representatives of the same species). If a child does not receive adequate maternity during the first years of life, he or she can develop streaks of hostility towards other people in his or her character.
In later childhood, a child needs a diversity of social interactions with his or her peers. If this does not happen, certain streaks of asociality and some sexual deviations may appear [4,11].
A child’s experience of communication with the adults that are very close to him or her also has great influence on the formation of their behavior. In this case, the mechanism of so-called “identification” takes place, and entire patterns of emotional and behavioral reactions are uncritically imprinted by a child.
Apart from this, in the program of formation of a human personality, there are “critical” stages of reevaluation of everything that a person has learned. The first stage is called adolescence and it coincides with the years of puberty.* The second one may take place after the age of 20.
However, the experience of previous incarnations with which this person has come into his or her material body is much more important than everything else that has been mentioned. This is the main factor, while all other factors can have only some impact on the further development of this incarnate soul.
Additionally, when we analyze a concrete embodied soul, we need to discern two groups of its qualities: a) those which are determined by its psychogenetic age, which is characterized by the number of preceding incarnations in human bodies, and b) the totality of qualities (good and bad) that were accumulated in those incarnations.
Thus, we need to take into account that psychogenetically young souls are more susceptible to the factors that influence them in a given incarnation. Such people also have less willpower, their “scope of the mind” is less wide, and their decisions are less firm.
While analyzing specific situations, in which a person manifests himself or herself, we should take into account all five factors that influence his or her decisions and the result of this situation. These factors are mentioned by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita (18:14-16) [8,10]. One of them is Divine Will.
We should also always remember that God takes care of everyone, by always trying to help him or her in a different way, for example, by creating favorable situations for the development of this person, by suggesting right thoughts, etc. Nevertheless, people — due to their own foolishness or because they are fooled by false religious doctrines — ignore this Care of the Creator for them or implore Him in their prayers for completely wrong things, for example, for worldly blessings for themselves, while He offers them Heavenly blessings…
* * *
… In the context of this book, it is also essential to talk about the education of the masses of adults2* on a national scale and on a scale of the entire population of our planet.Here we should take into account that the majority of people in almost any modern country is composed of people who can be called psychogenetically young. Who are they? Well, as an example, I can mention one of their features: they become followers of a particular religious doctrine built on… a national basis. For instance, they think: “I am Orthodox, because the religion of Russians is Orthodoxy” or “I am Buddhist, because the religion of Buryats is Buddhism”.3* The true spiritual search is not for them: it is not important for them, but rather belonging to the crowd…
Such people are the ones who easily believe that prayers are what allow us to achieve success in a spiritual life, not our efforts dedicated to self-transformation of ourselves as souls…
This kind of people tends to look for strong leaders who are ready to lead them. Where?… This is not very important for the masses of young embodied souls; other things are important for them: for example, their leader has to promise them a “bright future”. If he or she does this, they easily fall in love with such a leader and think: “If I love this person, and if we all love him (or her) so much, — this means that we are moving towards the right goal!…”.
Another thing that is very important for such people is called “crowd effect”: by uniting with the crowd, every one of this kind of people obtains a feeling of power, while a feeling of personal responsibility for his or her own actions disappears…
* * *
Only strong in terms of psychoenergy individuals can become leaders of the masses of people. These individuals are not young souls. However, in terms of their qualities, they can be righteous and, conversely, diabolical.By looking back at the lessons of history, we can see that even the nations that are very decent and cultural at present were found under the power of incarnate devils in the past and began to commit large-scale crimes, being incited to this by their leaders.
Recently the studies of the control over crowds of young souls became a section of applied psychology. Advertising and “political technology” of election campaigns are part of this too…
However, it would be great if this “art of crowd control” does not become the prerogative of evil individuals only! It would be great if the true spiritual knowledge — real knowledge, and not fantasies about God and about the spiritual Path — is actively implemented in the mentality of the human masses by political leaders!
How great it would be if everyone could receive, from childhood, the true information about the meaning of our lives on the Earth!
Then everyone would have much more chances of personally approaching our common Creator, and the sickness rate, the crime rate, and other calamities of humanity would decrease due to this too!
And God would start creating more favorable living conditions for those nations that have accepted His ideals of existence and development for them.
He is the One Who has sent us to grow and to evolve on the Earth! Therefore, He is the One Who is interested the most that everything in human societies go according to His plan, according to the laws and rules that He prescribed, so that humanity could bring fruits, expected by Him: fruits of positive evolution.
2* We discussed the principles of spiritual education of children in the book [7] in detail.
3* This is analogous to the formation of groups of “fans” that support different teams of such aggressive sports as soccer, hockey, and similar ones. Take cognizance of how easily these “fans” become aggressive and what a great harm such spectacles cause to the spiritual development of people!
The exact opposite is represented by esthetic kinds of sports, such as artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating, and similar ones.
If we examine different kinds of sport from this perspective, i.e., from the perspective of their in-fluence on the spiritual evolution of people (both athletes themselves and the audience), we can divide them into two main groups:
a) those that positively develop esthetic, intellectual, volitional, and physical qualities, and
b) those that are destructive, i.e. those that foster coarseness and aggression.
Oneness
There is such a philosophical term as Oneness, which can be most successfully interpreted as the “Wholeness of Everything”. What does this mean?
There is One Primordial Universal Consciousness That resides in the depths of the multidimensional space. It is the Creator of everything “manifested”, which is called the Creation.
Both the Creator and His Creation are eternal and infinite, although sometimes individual “islands” of the Creation in the universal space are annihilated by Him, whereas others are created…
The process of His Evolution takes place in the whole infinite Absolute and consists in the further development of the Primordial Consciousness. Its mechanism is the growth of individual souls created by this Consciousness on the material substratum of the Creation, that is, on planets. These souls, having evolved through many incarnations in the bodies of plants, animals, and humans, after reaching the Perfection, should flow into the Creator and enrich Him with themselves.
Therefore, all people and all other beings, including even plants, have to be considered by every one of us as brothers and sisters of different ages, as our companions on this great Path of the Evolution of Consciousness*. Moreover, we all are constituent parts, kind of mobile “cells” (like white blood cells) of One Total Organism — the Universal Absolute.
And we, as His constituent mobile components, have the possibility to choose that part of the Absolute which we want to inhabit.
The correct decision in this case is to strive for the Mergence with the Creator in His Abode — the deepest and subtlest part of the multidimensional space. This is what constitutes His Will. If we do not fulfill this, He will “hurry” us through pain, diseases, and other troubles.
For those who resist His Will most persistently and cultivate emotional coarseness in themselves and other associated vices, there is hell, the “rubbish heap” of the Evolution. Some of these souls are subjected to the total destruction — disintegration into their constituent elements, which will be used then for the creation of new souls. Other infernal souls will incarnate again in human bodies having the most adverse destinies. During these incarnations, the people of hell will get their last chance to get out of it — through the active self-transformation in accordance with the Will of the Creator.
He controls all the circumstances of our lives. Nothing happens without His participation and His Will for that.
He directs our discipleship, but we are the ones who determine our destinies! The quality of our lives depends only on how successful we are as His students!
He is Love. He is Tenderness. He is Care. He is Peace, Calm. He is Wisdom. He is Power.
His Abode is the common Abode of All the Perfect Ones Who have obtained all these qualities and reside now in the eternal Highest Bliss.
The more we approach Him by the quality of the soul, the more our existence in the material bodies becomes filled with happiness, joy, and bliss!
It is best to start this Path with mastering the art of psychical self-regulation that is, first of all, with the acquisition of the ability to regulate our own emotions. The base for this work is the opening and development of the spiritual heart. Without this, it is impossible to completely defeat “worldly passions” and all coarse negative emotions.
* * *
Probably, all of us have heard that the spiritual life has to be as if “the life by the heart”. However, almost no one understands the meaning of these words! “To live by the heart”, most often, means in literature “to let the personal behavior be governed by emotions and ‘worldly passions’”…
Among the instructions of some Hatha Yoga “gurus”, useless recommendations can be found about mastering the concentration in the material hearts. These recommendations have nothing with the truth…
Other incompetent “spiritual teachers” fantasize that since the material heart is located on the left side, so the spiritual heart has to be located in the right side of the chest…
Some people have heard that the Creator, Atman, the Higher “I” (wrong designation — “the Higher Self”), or Paramatman should be sought in the depth of their own spiritual hearts. For sure, many of them have tried to accomplish this, but immediately experienced a complete failure and were disappointed in this recommendation. The reason for such failures is that there is no chance to accomplish this in one’s own spiritual heart while it still has the size of an anahata chakra or only slightly bigger than it. Nevertheless, this becomes quite feasible when the size of the spiritual heart becomes millions of times bigger.
How to learn to perceive one’s own spiritual heart, how to develop it, and how to find the multidimensional depths, including the Abode of the Creator, inside this developed spiritual heart — all this was described — for the first time and in exhaustive detail — in the books and films of our scientific-spiritual School.
* * *
The steady progress on the Path to the Creator cannot be unconscious. Therefore, one should actively unlearn to hate, to become irritated, to want for oneself to the detriment of others, to wish anything bad to anyone, and, on the contrary, learn to help everyone in everything good, to love and to give, to attune with that which is harmonious and beautiful, to look for the manifestation of the Will of the Creator in everything, etc. I will repeat it once again, and let us remember this forever: hatred, hostility, aggressiveness, and similar emotional states lead us to hell, to the “rubbish heap” of the Evolution. On the contrary, love, calm, peace, tenderness, forgiveness, and care lead us to paradise and further — to the Embrace of the Creator in His Abode!
Let us all follow these Teachings of the Creator!
I wish success to all of you!
* By the way, if we all are one family of children of One Universal Parent, can selfish motives be appropriate in our relationship? Even the members of ordinary families fulfill their duties and other work without counting on a special remuneration from other family members.
That is why one of the signs of spirituality in people is their selflessness or disinterestedness.
That is why one of the signs of spirituality in people is their selflessness or disinterestedness.
Conclusion
(by Vladimir Antonov)
“When we were unknown boys and were creating our music, we lived as if tomorrow we would conquer the entire world!
“You do not have such boldness of thought, even though you have indeed much more rights to have it than we had!
“We lived with a bright feeling that the whole world would be at our feet tomorrow and would praise us! It was an impulse filled with power and confidence! We lived as winners, and we became such! The world had to yield to the four daring and brave guys who wanted to flood people’s hearts with a new wave of music of freedom and love! The world began to live with our ideas, our songs, and our music! The liberty of our ideas seized people’s minds, and our music began to sound on all continents!
“We lived as winners, as the forerunners of freedom! Even though none of us knew the True Freedom at that time, this state of us as souls anticipated and shaped our future!
“Perceive yourselves as those who were sent into this world in order to change it! And this should happen not some other day in the future but right now, today! Every day of your lives should transform the world and bring a new Divine Wave to it!
“You should do this right now instead of waiting for some day when researchers of ruins of antiquity find your works under the computer junk of the 21st century and exclaim with surprise: ‘Oh! This was already discovered once!’
“At this very moment, you need to give people this vivifying wave of the ideas of Freedom, Love, and the Path of the Spiritual Heart!
“Feel the Power of God that goes through you and let Him realize, with the help of your spiritual group, what He has planned! Be filled with daring confidence that you can accomplish this!”
* * *
Even though we always sought communication with Divine Teachers only, we had a great number of meetings with very interesting non-incarnate people as well during the years of our discipleship with God: Pushkin, Gorky, Talkov, Vysotsky, Lennon, different physicians, travelers, writers, poets, musicians, etc. The writer Akinfiev asked us to mention his great book on the ethics of nutrition [1].
The academician Kruzenshtern wanted modern people to know that he and Vasco da Gama are the same soul in different incarnations.
On another occasion, when we worked in the forest on the place where we usually met Divine Lutherans, we had an unexpected opportunity to speak with Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church.
The last happened in the following way.
A non-incarnate soul, with whom we had not been previously familiar, suddenly appeared in front of us.
“Who are you?” — we asked.
“Martin Luther the First,” — he joked, trying to emphasize that there was another Martin Luther — the fighter for the rights of African Americans, Martin Luther King.
“Have you been incarnated again after your well-known incarnation?”
“No.”
“Have you attained Divinity?”
“I live in the glory in which I immersed myself by becoming the high priest of the Lutheran Church.”
“Are you going to be incarnated again?”
“Let’s forget about this! Right now I am not here to teach you about how to distribute the consciousnesses in the Absolute but rather to support you in your struggle for the religious freedom!
“This is my field of activity as well! Specifically, I participated in the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
“Long before this, I became the founder of the existing Lutheran Church and laid its main fundamental idea of personal responsibility of everyone before God, ‘personal’ means without intermediaries in this case! Every Christian and every truly religious person should think in this way.
“You did well! You are walking in the right direction!
“I personally directed you, Vladimir, in your student years, to the path of respect for freedom. Do you remember? You had helped me in my struggle in your previous incarnation, and I helped you in this one.”
“Yes! A thousand times — thank you!
“Will we accomplish our mission that consists in getting all people of the Earth to know about the knowledge that we received from God?”
“Look how difficult it was for me! I managed to turn only a small part of Christians to the right path, and this was achieved at the cost of a military campaign.
“It is unlikely to happen in your country in a time of peace.
“But remember that I and all reasonable non-incarnate people are with you!”
“What do you do now?”
Martin shows that he holds the “reins” in his hands — the “reins” of all and each in the Lutheran church:
“I supervise the Church created by me.
“I am its ‘high priest’. I remain in this state, and the attention of the leaders of many parishes is aimed at me. I understand this and behave, in my relationship with them, as if I were Jesus Christ. In other words, I give them commandment after commandment, as I understand this and as it is shown to me by the Supreme Hierarch Himself at our regular personal meetings. When I say ‘the Supreme Hierarch’, I mean Jesus Christ.”
“Can you learn from Jesus now and, through this, approach Him even more?”
Martin did not understand the question:
“I am already ‘the right hand’ of Jesus Christ! I see myself as an intermediary between Him and people and I consider this as the summit of my personal achievements!”
… On another occasion in the forest, Alexander Pushkin and a large group of his friends, “Decembrists”, attracted our attention. Nicholas Bestuzhev and Peter Chaadaev talked on behalf of all of them:
“We are embracing you! We are watching you constantly…
“Those who have cognized God are especially dear to us, the Decembrists! We could not achieve this due to the reason that is obvious to you: due to the absence of the correct religiosity in our country…
“Indeed, extraordinary heroism is required in order to break false stereotypes of thinking!
“Unfortunately, there are no positive changes in the life of the country… The efforts of all previous heroes were in vain!… And your efforts will be wasted here too…
“We all bless you! You are to realize a long service! But this does not concern Russia…
“In Russia nothing came out of those things that we fought for…”
“Where do you work now?”
“In Central Europe, in the northern parts: in Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden.
“After 20 years, you will not recognize the Earth! People will begin to perceive streams of new fresh knowledge!”
“Is anyone from your group incarnated right now?”
“We do other work: we help people from our non-incarnate state. We all formed a favorable destiny for ourselves, and the Lord has sent us to do this job.”
“Have any of you reached Divinity?”
“No, nothing of that kind! Right now we are fully engaged in the process of service. None of us have been incarnated since that time. We do great righteous deeds under the guidance of the Creator and we try to do them the best we can!”
“How many of you are working together?”
“Approximately 200-250.”
“Who from your group is the head of your activity?”
“You should look from another perspective! You should see that the Creator guides us without any intermediary! Every one of us perceives Him directly!”
“What will your destiny be? Will you be able to flow into the Creator without being incarnated again into material bodies?”
“No, it’s not possible. A new layer of the destiny of every one of us has to be formed. Many years will pass, at least two decades, so that we can see more and know more. And then a certain layer will be “washed out” so that a new one can be unfolded: a new program of our further development. Some of us have yet to serve 20 years in such a way, others — 50.
“We wish you success! We are with you!”
… At some other time, when we were in the forest at a favorite place of Pushkin, one of us asked him:
“Whom do you help now among incarnate people?”
“I help all those who listen to me! There are very few such people in Russia and even less abroad.”
“How about those who make trips to your grave?”
“No. I don’t accept such people. Trips should be made to other places.”
He shows the image of the estate where he lived being embodied. It has a peaceful backwater.
“This is my estate, which I often visit and recall the dear years of my youth. Being near this backwater, I recall my young beloveds of those days, the images of whom I keep in my memory at present as well…
“… But right now I want to tell incarnate people about something different: about those ‘backwaters’ in which water becomes foul and in which midges appear during the summer and bite everyone…
“… There are tender spring brooks that run among the roots of trees and stones. A soul that is young and still fragile blossoms in love just like this…
“However, the law of the universal nature is severe: everyone has to develop himself or herself! And if formerly babbling water gets into a foul swamp of the loss of love, of stagnation, and of coarse emotions, it then also turns into stinking mud…
“On the other hand, if one merges with a large river, which quietly and smoothly flows into the Ocean of the Highest Universal ‘I’ years after years and centuries after centuries, the destiny of such a soul then is to become this Ocean as you already became, my dearest friends on this Earth!
“And may other souls merge their currents and flow together, along the channel opened by you, into the Ocean of the Primordial Reality! Amen.”

The existence of God is neither a fairy tale, nor fantasies of undeveloped and uneducated people.God indeed exists and He is cognizable for those who are sufficiently developed in their personal evolution and who have dedicated their lives to the cognition of Him.
Who is He and where is He? He — in the Aspect of the Creator — abides in the deepest and subtlest layer of the multidimensional space. He is One but is composed of the infinite number of all Those Who — over a time of eternity — have attained the completeness of the Divine Perfection, entered this layer, and merged there with Him — with the One Who is called the Primordial Consciousness, the Creator, God-the-Father, Jehovah (Yahweh), Ishvara, Allah, Tao, Svarog, Odin, etc. in different human languages.
Communication with God is usually realized through non-incarnate Divine Teachers Who come out from the Abode of the Creator with some Part of Themselves and Who, in the aggregate sense, are called the Holy Spirit in the Christian tradition. It is less frequent that people can communicate with incarnate Representatives of the Creator, Who are called — in different languages — Messiahs, Avatars, or Christs. They come to incarnate people, having diverse Appearances, that is, in male or female bodies, and They realize diverse forms of Service. Some of them express the Truth through prose, while Others — through poems, songs, or other kinds of art.
In one of our recent conversations, Alexander Pushkin compared Divine Writers with quills, which are used by the Creator to write the Holy Scriptures for people and which are even “dipped” by Him into the “ink” sometimes. Igor Talkov* then immediately added that the Creator incarnates Divine Singers into the world of matter in order to use Them as His microphones…
It should be mentioned that They do not necessarily start at once talking to people about the most important things; sometimes They just wisely and smoothly try to correct the direction in which the society thinks…
Divine Incarnations are a rare phenomenon, but there are many non-incarnate Divine Teachers Who work on helping incarnate people in different areas. Focusing on any of Them and diligently learning from Him or Her will necessarily bring you to the Victory or closer to It. We were fortunate to directly learn from tens of Holy Spirits, and each of Them gave us some of His or Her personal favorite techniques of self-development in addition to the common elements of the curriculum for all disciples of God. Direct communication with a great number of Them allowed us to obtain a much more vivid and complete notion about the most important things for all incarnate people, and we share them in our books and films.
… We have cognized Him and impart our knowledge about Him to you.
What was required of us in order to cognize God?
First of all, it was ethical purity, which includes our relationship not only with people, plants and animals, but also — and this is the most important point — with the Creator.
Besides ethical purity, it was the monastic dedication2* of our lives to the only Goal — the cognition of God and service to Him.

All people differ from each other, primarily, by their psychogenetic age (the age of the soul) and by how successfully they have evolved in their distant and recent past. Everyone, therefore, requires a different amount of time and effort to get closer — by the state of oneself as a soul — to God so as to be able to see, hear, and really embrace Him with the arms of consciousness consisting of Love only.However, it is also important to note that the speed of personal spiritual development depends, to a great extent, on the correct understanding of the Goal and of the methods of such work on oneself. That is why we made so much effort to describe and illustrate as detailed as possible the methodology of spiritual self-development and the methodology of the cognition of God, created by us.
We ask you to contribute — as far as possible — to the preservation of this knowledge for the entire humanity and to its extensive implementation, especially in the educational system.

One of the peculiarities of human development is that an individual consciousness (or a soul) can grow quantitatively.However, only the souls that are qualitatively developed to a due degree have the right to such growth. In other words, they have to be intellectually and ethically mature and sufficiently refined by their energy status.3*
The souls which have developed themselves in the mentioned qualitative parameters and then have grown themselves to a sufficiently big size — if they have transformed themselves into Love and are in love with the Creator — reach His Abode and enter the eternal Mergence with Him.
Thus the individual development of successfully evolving people ends and the Divine stage of Their existence begins. This is the existence as the Divine Teachers (Holy Spirits) Who are the integral Parts of the Creator.
We also need to remember the following:
a) the quantitative growth of a consciousness is possible only during its incarnate state, because the body with its digestive system is the “factory” that transforms (sublimates) the energy of food into the energy of the consciousness;
b) the material body has to be perfectly cleansed of all coarse energies — in order to achieve success in serious spiritual advancement, because it is impossible to enter the Divine Purity and Subtlety from an unpurified body.
You can find a detailed description of how to progress on this Path most successfully — in our books and films.
Do not miss this opportunity, our dear readers!

A human soul uncovers itself!
In the purity of love, it appears
Before the Beloved One!
And nothing else exists for the soul
But the Beloved!
It — is always before His Sight.
The arms of the soul caress the Dear One,
And it never takes its eyes off Him.
And it has no other light
But the Light of His Love!
His Light is reflecting in the radiance of its eyes,
His words of love fill its lips!
The hearts merge
And there is nothing but Him!...
He fills Those Who become One in Him
With His unspeakable Bliss!

The one who has touched the Ocean of Love
Will rush towards It again and again!
By submerging into Its transparency,
Such one will attain the Mergence with It!
By rejecting self, by forgetting self,
Such person will dissolve in It!
The heart that contains the Ocean
Becomes the Ocean!
The soul that has become the Ocean
Lives the life of the Ocean!
