The Meaning of Our Lives

Unlike about 30 previous books of this author that were dedicated to methodology of spiritual self-perfection of man, this one covers not only methodological but also political issues.

This book will be useful for spiritual leaders as well as for those people who are professionally involved in the development of state policy towards various religious groups and organizations.

Declaration on Fundamentals of the Common Religion

1. General Statements

1:1. Throughout the history of people on the planet Earth God has been repeatedly giving them His Teachings through His Messengers (Messiahs, Avatars) and prophets. Each time the information was presented in the form that was adequate for concrete group of people — according to the level of their philosophic and religious awareness and the conditions of life in that particular historical period (whether it was period of war or peace, first stages of religion’s formation or existence of established religious tradition in the particular region).

1:2. But at each of those epicenters of religious knowledge established by God, people inevitably distorted His Teachings. For example:

— all religious duties of people got reduced to sole participation in “saving” rituals; bodily movements and standard prayers gradually became the main religious occupation of believers, substituting for real efforts on the path of personal spiritual evolution;

— so-called religious fundamentalism appeared, where the religious life was considered not as accumulating knowledge about God and the meaning of our life, not as mastering of methods of spiritual self-development and helping others in doing it, but was reduced to crude, violent forcing people to keep certain “rules of behavior” that have no religious value;

— false concepts of “national religions” and of “national Gods” formed, whereas in reality God is One — not only for all people of the Earth, but for the whole Universe;

— such degeneration very often resulted in hatred to “heretics” and “infidels” becoming the main essence of the religious ideology, which led to terror and aggressive wars.

God calls this kind of pseudo-religiosity, where He and Love are lost, “a contagion much worse than AIDS”. Followers of such orientations prepare themselves for going to hell.

1:3. These religious distortions got dramatically manifested in the events of September 11, 2001 (a terrorist attack against people of U.S. cities by religious zealots using hijacked airplanes). The acts of those terrorist-kamikazes were based on a belief that murdering “infidels” secures future life in paradise for the murderers. (The origin of this postulate is clear: it was given many centuries ago to belligerent tribes at the time of war — for the sake of inspiring the warriors of the righteous party to fight the enemy. But under conditions of peace and stable existence of a religious tradition such guidelines clearly cannot be followed)

1:4 For all rational people of our planet these dramatic events are clearly pointing out at the necessity of accepting and applying in the everyday life of all people of all nations FUNDAMENTALS OF THE COMMON RELIGION. This Declaration is based on the modern scientific knowledge and on recapitulation of the religious experience accumulated throughout the history of mankind, as well as on what God is teaching us now.

2. How the Word “God” Is to Be Understood

2:1. First of all, it is necessary to accept the fact that the universe is multidimensional — in reality (and not only mathematically). Its dimensions (planes, eons, lokas) can be cognized by an advanced human consciousness. Such level of consciousness can be attained through proper spiritual training. One of the components of this training should be a multi-stage practice of meditation.

2:2. There are dimensions of hell and paradise and also those that serve as “depositories of construction material” for forming solid matter and souls. There is also a dimension that represents the Abode of the Creator. Some dimensions are filled with anti-energies. The interaction of the latter with the objects of the material plane represents the mechanism of dematerialization and other so-called “miracles”.

2:3. Historically it happened that the word “God” has several meanings and people often get confused by them.

2:4. The principal meaning of this word is the Creator, the Primordial Universal Consciousness, dwelling in the primary spatial dimension. This Consciousness represents the subtlest state of Universal energy — on the “subtlety-coarseness” scale. The inhabitants of hell are on the opposite end of this scale: they live in the coarsest states of consciousness — from their emotional status standpoint.

2:5. The second meaning of the word “God” includes the Creator with His entire multidimensional Creation, which is brought into existence by Him, is based on Him as on a foundation, and is incapable of existing without or being separated from Him. In this sense, God is Absolutely Everything (the Absolute) — Everything, except for hell and its inhabitants. (By definition of Jesus Christ, hell is the “outer darkness” — outer in relation to God-Absolute).

2:6. The concept of “God” includes also Manifestations of the Creator in the Creation which people call the Holy Spirit (Brahman). The Holy Spirit most often manifests Himself in the form of Divine Teachers that come out from the Abode of the Creator. (They can, in particular, condense the energy of Consciousness to the level, perceivable or even quite visible to embodied people).

2:7. Manifestation of a Divine Teacher on the material plane through incarnation into a human body is called Messiah, Christ, Avatar.

Such a Teacher, as well as the Holy Spirit, is an Integral Part of the Creator (Primordial Consciousness).

2:8. The statement “God is One” is true. The Divine Teachers in the Abode of the Creator are merged integral Parts of One Primordial Consciousness. The criterion here is that Their Abode is the primary spatial dimension called the Abode of the Creator. Each of Them, while remaining one with the Creator, comes out from the Abode into the world of the Creation only by a part of Himself.

2:9. Numerous individual manifestations in the world of Creation (objects; bodies, including ours; embodied and non-embodied souls, except for hell inhabitants) should be considered as cells of the infinite Universal Body of God in the aspect of the Absolute.

2:10. The essence of all processes that take place in the universe is the Evolution of the Universal Divine Consciousness.

2:11. One should not include in the concept of “God” mythological (fairy-tale) and fictitious characters of national religious folklore (those sharing such naive and essentially false conceptions are called “pagans”).

Attempts to present God as an invisible flying being with a human-like appearance are also naive and false.

God should be thought of as neither “information” nor “information field”, nor “collective human intellect”, nor should He be given other similar superficial and incompetent definitions.

Cognition of God has nothing to do with “conversations with aliens”, “astral traveling”, spiritism, magic rituals or astrological fantasies.

Describing God as a malicious monster punishing people for their sins is a striking perversion that turns people away from loving Him and hinders their advancement on the spiritual Path.

Likewise, bringing devil and other intimidating factors into the center of attention is a gross religious distortion. Cultivation of mystical fear — as opposed to cherishing creative Love — is the main cause of spiritual degradation and development of mass psychopathology among followers of such forms of pseudo-religion.

— the Creator, in other languages and other religious schools also called God-the-Father, Primordial Consciousness, Allah, Ishvara, Tao etc.,

— non-incarnate (They are countless) as well as incarnate Divine Teachers coming out from the Abode of the Creator.

2:13. From His Abode the Creator creates “islets” of matter throughout the infinite space of the universe and after some time — when they are no longer necessary — He dematerializes them.

The purpose of this process is to establish conditions for embodying new souls on material substrates in order to present them with an opportunity for development.

2:14. An incarnation in the material world is necessary for the development of a soul, since it is physical body that serves as a main tool for supplying the energy needed for growth of a “lump” of consciousness. This energy is derived, with the aid of the body, primarily from ordinary food — the one that we eat.

But not any kind of material food provides the organism with the energy eminently suitable for growth of the soul in the proper direction: the most adequate quality of energy is supplied by the “killing-free” diet, i.e. the one that does not contain meat, fish, and other products made of bodies of killed animals.

Nutrition that involves killing of animals is incompatible with high ethical principles and often leads to situations when the souls of killed animals enter into the bodies of the people who killed them or of those who ate their flesh. Such enterings (called “possessions”) cause various psychic and somatic disorders, and diseases, including cancer.^*

The natural food for people is various edible plants, milk and milk products, and bird eggs.

2:15. The evolution of each individual soul begins when its germen is formed in a mineral. Then follows numerous incarnations in the bodies of plants — small in the beginning, then of larger size; then — into animal bodies of increasing size and species complexity; and finally — into human bodies.

Each of us, humans, has previously lived in bodies of various plants and animals. And now, in the bodies of plants and animals, we should see other growing souls. We should learn to respect their lives and in every possible way avoid doing any unnecessary harm to them. The “killing-free” lifestyle in regard to people and animals, as well as restraining from harming plants unnecessarily should be a norm for every religious individual.^*

2:16. God in the aspect of the Creator — and this is really perceivable by a developed human consciousness — is a Universal in size, Eternal Macro-organism, Which can be depicted as an Ocean of Blissful, Most Tender, Subtlest Light of Consciousness.

Man has to learn to love Him, to fall in love with Him — and this will be a prerequisite for cognizing Him and for merging with Him. As a result of the personal evolution, each individual soul has to merge into the Universal Soul of the Creator.

3. What Is Man

3:1. Man is not a body. Man is a lump of energy of consciousness (a soul), capable of self-comprehension, remembering, thinking, moving, growing qualitatively and quantitatively and also of degradation.

An incarnation consists in binding a soul with a body (soon to be born) that God performs.

3:2. People are incarnated into physical bodies by God in order to undergo consecutive stages of personal evolution. For all this, everyone possesses considerable amount of free will, i.e. the right to choose the strategic direction of the personal evolution (to the Abode of the Creator — or to hell), as well as ways of solving daily problems and tasks.

God — usually in the aspect of the Holy Spirit — constantly suggests ways to improve, to become better to everyone. In this way He expresses His Love-Care for everyone.

But He extremely rarely interferes “by force” with people realizing their desires.

In this way, God — as the Supreme Shepherd — “shepherds” us on the surface of the planet Earth — as if on His “pasture”. He is interested that we develop in the direction preferable by Him. We need to become Perfect Souls and merge with Him in His Abode, and thus to enrich Him with ourselves.

And if someone does not live the earthly life in the way preferable by God, He inflicts pain to that person through illnesses or various calamities. As a result, some of us start to reflect on it and then reform. But others only grow more embittered and, unfortunately, degrade at even higher rate.

In this way — through realization of the free will — natural selection goes on among the souls embodied by God. He takes the best ones into His Abode. Good souls get in paradise for some time, and after that they get incarnated again. The abode of the worst souls is hell. Some of those souls are given an opportunity to be embodied again, to try one more time, while the worst of them, hopeless in God’s opinion, get destroyed, annihilated forever (this is where the ideas of “blazing inferno” and “infernal fire consuming sinners” originate from).

3:3. Man has to become aware of oneself not as of a body or mind but as of an embodied soul: only from this standpoint it is possible to understand correctly how to live on the Earth.

The expressions “my soul”, “his/her soul”, “their/our souls” or the likes are incorrect. Let us all realize — we are souls.

3:4. People of all nationalities and races, and also of both sexes — are equal in the face of God. What really makes them different from one another is the age of the souls and the degree to which they have developed certain positive and negative qualities.

The basic principles of spiritual advancement are the same for all people regardless of sex, nationality, and other similar characteristics, though the methods of spiritual work do differ depending on: a) the age of a person in the current incarnation, b) the psychogenetic age (age of the soul), c) present level of ethical and intellectual development, and d) the portion of the spiritual Path that an individual soul has already successfully traveled.

3:5. The supreme prospective task of each human being is to cognize God in all of His aspects and manifestations, then, upon achieving the spiritual Perfection, to merge into Him in His Abode and to continue taking part in the Universal Evolutionary Process from there, by assisting the embodied beings in particular.

But what one should begin with is the intellectual development and ethical self-transformation.

4. Methodological Principles of Spiritual Self-perfection

4:1. The Perfection of the Creator has three main aspects. They are — Love, Wisdom and Power. Therefore, each human being in the course of the personal evolution should develop these three qualities.

4:2. Everyone should begin with accepting the following main ethical principles:

Then it would be appropriate to begin mastering the functions of the spiritual heart — an organ in the human multidimensional organism responsible for producing emotion of love.

4:3. The spiritual heart is a bioenergetic structure originally located in the chest. The first step of its development is mastered when it has filled the whole chest, what makes one capable of living in the state of stable concentration of the consciousness in the spiritual heart, perceiving the outer world with it and acting “from it”, including speaking.

When this is accomplished, and as long as one abides in the spiritual heart with the concentration of the consciousness, one is no longer able to enter into emotional states other than variations of cordial love.^*

This radically changes one’s relationships with the environment, including other people. Also the health gets improved dramatically.

Those, who have settled in this state, who got used to and will continue living in it until the end of their incarnation, after leaving the body are going to appear among other blissful souls in paradise.

We have developed the methods of realization of what has been said above. These methods are described in detail in our books and also demonstrated in our video films.

4:4. In order to succeed in spiritual development, one has to transform oneself into a large soul consisting primarily of the spiritual heart.

One should learn to live without leaving the emotions of Love: tender freshness, tactful care, willingness to help other people in everything good sincerely and selflessly, respect to all worthy ones, gratitude to anyone who helps, forgiveness of offenders, willingness to abandon oneself and sacrifice oneself for the sake of others. And even when fighting for the sake of others' good, one should not leave the state of Love.

Let everyone strive for ridding themselves of all kinds of arrogance, selfishness, greed, violence, and all kinds of the emotions of anger, including the emotions of condemnation, revengefulness, irritation, envy, and jealousy. The listed emotional states should be considered as adversary to Love.

Gaining full control over the emotional sphere is possible through intellectual work on identifying and overcoming own vices and cultivating missing positive qualities. It is advisable to supplement these efforts with mastering of the methods of psychic self-regulation, which are based on working with structures of the human organism responsible for generating emotions (these methods are described in the books listed in the “Bibliography” section).

4:5. “God is Love”, taught Jesus Christ. He was this Love Himself. And He invited us to join Him in becoming this Love.

In order to be able to approach our Creator — Who is Love — we have to transform ourselves into Love. There is no other way.

And this is not just a slogan made up of nice words yet unfeasible, but a comprehensive system of knowledge and methods thoroughly tested and verified over decades by numerous spiritual seekers.

4:6. Development of the intellect is a crucial element of one’s spiritual advancement. Children should to be given education of as high quality as possible. Adults should always seek ways to acquire new knowledge — preferably that, which will be useful on the spiritual Path.

4:7. It makes sense to devote the professional activity not to earning money and accumulating material wealth, but to learning as much as possible in the beginning of our lives in order to use the acquired knowledge and skills in the future to serve God through serving other people.

4:8. Doing good deeds by helping other souls in their evolution — let this be the major incentive of everyone’s social activity.

Let it be sincere giving. Then other people — the best of them — will begin to respond by giving back. It is in this way that groups of true and reliable friends with common spiritual goals form.

4:10. In educating children, special techniques can be successfully used, which are quite helpful in preparing them for serious spiritual work in the future (basic principles of the methodology of such work and examples of specific methods are described in our book “Spiritual Work with Children”).

4:11. Children should be involved in creative work at the level adequate for their age. Let them help parents in their work, let them take a paid job outside of school time. Teaching them various labor skills should become a part of school educational programs. Through this, children should learn to create and to value everything good created by others.

4:12. Marriage and the education of children represent numerous excellent opportunities for self-perfection, primarily for development of such aspects of love as tenderness, attention, and altruism.

This experience also significantly contributes to the intellectual progress of an individual soul by providing numerous psychological lessons in particular.

God — as a Teacher — is the “Supreme Psychologist”. Thus, we should master psychology as well.

4:13. The prevailing opinion that the main task of man in relation to God consists in sole praying and that nothing else is necessary is deeply erroneous and harmful. One should realize that God does not need our prayers, which are begging, in essence. What God wants from us in the first place is righteousness expressed in ethically correct attitude toward all living beings, including other people, as well as toward Him. In particular, He wants us to seek Him, serve Him, learn to love Him, and strive for developing ourselves to such a degree that we can offer ourselves to Him as a gift, as perfect as possible.

4:14. He does not need any killing of animals and plants as an “offering to God”. Those killings are just criminal acts and are not in any way “pleasing things to God”.

4:15. Implantation of the ideas of irreparably sinful human nature, nothingness of man who destined to remain an eternal antipode to God is an error and transgression in the face of God. It contradicts the very Intention that the Creator has for us. It creates a huge obstacle for spiritual growth.

4:16. It is better to begin the development of the power aspect of the soul through engaging in manual labor. If this is currently impossible, then various kinds of athletic training can be helpful.

It is necessary to have a strong and healthy body in order to advance successfully on the spiritual Path.

The power aspect of consciousness can be developed further through special methods of development of the energy structures of the organism and special meditations. But they can be taught only to intellectually mature people, who have gained the required subtlety of consciousness and the ability to remain in the emotional state of love for a long time.

4:17. The opinion that people attain paradise or end up in hell as a result of some particular action (or actions) is erroneous. Actions significant from the ethical standpoint determine one’s destiny only for the periods of embodiment — in the current or future incarnations.

But what determines the place, where one abides after the death of the body — be it hell, paradise or other spatial dimensions (including the Abode of the Creator) — is the state of consciousness one has accustomed oneself to during the life in the body.

People who get used to living in coarse emotional states, upon leaving the body continue to exist in these states among other beings similar to them.

Those who have lived (including the recent period before departing from the body) in subtle and pure cordial love, after death of the body find themselves in paradise.

But in order to reach the Abode of the Creator from the “starting” point of the paradisiacal state, one needs to go through a long and difficult meditative practice guided by one or several Divine Teachers. To this process one has to devote the whole life in order to succeed.

Let us emphasize that nobody can pass this part of the Path on their own. The errors made here can have grievous consequences. For example, it is possible “to get lost” in spatial dimensions… Or to break down as a result of some stressing factor and to lapse into coarse emotional states… This can wipe out all one’s positive meditative achievements and lead to serious diseases.

4:18. Spiritual work cannot be successful if it is performed by people using drugs, including alcohol and tobacco products.

4:19. The human organism is multidimensional and in this respect it is similar to the multidimensional Absolute. Therefore, the process of self-cognition coincides with the process of cognition of the Absolute.

In particular, everyone has their potential representation in the Abode of the Creator, which is called Atman or Higher Self.

4:20. One of the main tasks of the spiritual work is to transform the human egocentrism to God-centrism — both mentally and in meditative realization.

4:21. The finishing steps of spiritual ascent can be mastered only through monastic life.

4:22. Monasticism is unidirectionality of spiritual seeker’s consciousness focused on only one Goal — full cognition of God and merging with the Creator in His Abode, and also helping all worthy ones walking the same Path.

4:23. The tasks of a true monk cannot be accomplished by mere wearing special clothes, accepting new names, kow-towing and saying standard prayers. All this has nothing to do with the true monasticism.

4:24. Leading a parasitic way of life which is sometimes extolled as a virtue by adepts of some degenerated religious schools is in fact a vicious practice that has a detrimental effect on the destinies of the followers of this distortion.

4:25. Celibacy (complete restraining from sexual contacts) is by no means a necessary attribute of the true monastic life. It rather does harm than helps on the spiritual Path, creating a sexual “dominant” (a dominating idea of sexual dissatisfaction) — instead of one’s having the Creator and the care for people as a sole dominant. Celibacy hinders the development of such important variations of love as sexually tinged tenderness, attention and care in relationships with the spouse and children.

Celibacy also can be harmful to one’s health causing sometimes a prostatitis in men and neuroses, based on sexual dissatisfaction, in both men and women.

A harmonious sexual life is absolutely normal for all healthy adults, even for those who have devoted their lives completely to the attainment of the highest spiritual goals.

But people entering into a marriage should be at similar stages of their spiritual advancement.

4:27. Recent popularization of the idea that “the more sex — the more spirituality” is another extreme, no less harmful for spiritual development. In this case sex is brought into the center of attention, instead of the Creator, multi-aspect self-development, and participation in the Evolutionary Process through service to God, which consists in helping other people in their earthly existence and facilitating their spiritual progress.

“Where your treasure is there your heart will be also”, taught Jesus Christ.

5. What Religious Associations Should Do

5:1. Ritual forms of religious practice can be well used by beginners. But one should understand that rituals are useful only for helping people remember about God’s existence. Participating in ceremonies — whatever they are called or whatever value people assign to them — cannot by itself solve the problem of realization of our purpose of life.

5:2. Activities of religious associations should not be limited just to performing rites. It is necessary to explain people what God is, tell them about the meaning of their lives and the way of its realization. Great focus should be on ethical work involving discussions on ethical principles, practice of conscious and sincere repentance, and collective analysis of ethical problems — using specific examples from life, books, newspapers, films, and other sources.

Aesthetics, including attunement to the subtlest manifestations of living nature and to certain works of art, can be extremely helpful. Sublime and inspiring beauty of human body may also play an important part in this work.

The spiritual work will be much more effective when complemented by lessons on ecology, sport training, lectures, and discussions about healthy lifestyle, as well as mastering healing and self-healing methods.

The methods of psychic self-regulation should be taught with the emphasis on mastering functions of the spiritual heart.

5:3. Serious meditative techniques must not be taught to children and ethically and intellectually immature adults, especially the methods related to the power aspect of development of consciousness. Breaking this rule can lead to serious mental disorders, which stop positive evolution of a given soul.

Initiations to spiritual knowledge should be done strictly on a step-by-step basis — new stages should be given only after disciples have mastered the previous ones.

6. Conclusion

6:1. We should develop ourselves as spiritual hearts: at the beginning — within the chest of the body, then — on the multidimensional Universe scale — up to the level when we become worthy to settle in the “Heart of Absolute” — merged with the Primordial Consciousness in the Abode of the Creator. This is the meaning of our lives and the way of attaining the true eternal happiness.

6:2. God has guided us, a group of Russian specialists who wrote this Declaration, into His Heart and provided us with knowledge necessary to help other worthy people to do the same.

Through us God has laid the foundation of a new science called the “Methodology of Spiritual Development” by entrusting us to perform the integration of scientific and religious knowledge accumulated on the Earth, discarding everything insignificant, transient, and unnecessary in it, and to build a “ladder” of spiritual ascent made up of specific methods and to test these methods on ourselves and on many others.

6:3. God is considered incognizable by many “believers”. He is truly incognizable for those, who follow a distorted path. But He is cognizable for those who walk the Straight Path specified by Him — the Path of Spiritual Heart.

6:4. God asks to make the information presented in this Declaration accessible to as many people as possible — to people of all continents and countries.

He points out that explaining to people the meaning of their lives on the Earth and helping them in its realization is the only way to avoid large-scale catastrophes similar to the ones that happened in the USA (or even of a much larger scale) in the future, as well as to prevent tragedies that are less noticeable, but which happen every hour to many lost souls and which can happen to anyone.

6:5. From the God’s standpoint, everything that is done by state authorities, organizations, and every individual, should be aimed at contributing to the maximum to the positive Evolution of the Universal Consciousness, which takes place in the bodies of people in particular.

6:6. We seek collaboration in distributing this information. Any help from individuals, governmental and public organizations, including religious, scientific and others will be welcome.

Russia Is Dying

Russia is dying. Every year its population decreases by 750,000 people. This number includes refugees from the former Russian colonies.

The birthrate has decreased twice as much compared to the “stagnation” period of the communist party government.

The crime rate has increased dramatically: the nation loses about 100,000 people every year due to murder.

Russia takes first place of the suicide rate (in percentage of the total population). Every day, on average, 142 people commit suicide. That is, every year Russia loses 50,000 people due to suicide. About 2,000 of them are children.

Tuberculosis, syphilis and AIDS are spreading. Every week 10,000 people become infected with AIDS.

In addition to this, alcoholism is so widespread (especially if we keep in mind the fact that children born of drinking parents cannot be healthy) that the next generations in Russia are almost doomed to degradation just because of this. Far from the cultural centers of big cities it is almost impossible to meet a young man without clear signs of psychic degradation on his face.

In Saint-Petersburg 12 percent of the population are disabled people due to physical and psychiatric pathologies. Among them are not only victims of the Afghan and Chechen wars but also children of drinking parents.

Addiction to the most dangerous drugs (including heroin!) has become very popular among the young people. In some schools, students ridicule and alienate from their companies those who do not use drugs.

One can assess the scale of drug addiction by looking at the Saint-Petersburg statistic figures (although it is not the most degraded city in this respect). In Saint-Petersburg there are 600,000 registered drug addicts (without taking into account addiction to alcohol and nicotine). The most popular drug is heroine. Heroine creates an almost irresistible addiction even after the first injection. Its toxicity is so high that it leads to death of the victim within 4 years of the first use.

According to the forecast of UNESCO, if the current tendencies persist, in the next 25 years the population of Russia will decrease by a third.

A worrying call about the current situation in Russia was initiated by the military — they cannot draft a sufficient number of conscripts for the military service. And what is it going to be in 5-10 years? Russia keeps losing its young generation! And in 20-30 years? Then the army will have to be recruited not with professional mercenaries, but with grannies, pensioners, and with a small number of old men who will be lucky to live up to their age. The old men will probably be appointed sergeants. And the food for the Russian army will, most likely, supplied by NATO countries. This is going to be mostly chocolate — in order to prevent the grannies from getting drunk and shooting nuclear rockets around.

… One may think: Russia has done too much harm to other nations and incurred a punishment God upon itself, therefore its destiny is to die.

However, I would not prefer to operate such abstract ideas. I would like everyone to ask themselves — within the scope of this subject: Do I want to die so miserably together with Russia?

If you say “yes”, or hesitate, then I will try to make you change your mind.

Maybe what is written below will help to save some, the best, part of the young generation of our country?

President Putin — Is He Going to Save Russia?

In my opinion, now there is a fresh and slightly optimistic wind in Russia. I mean the new president Vladimir Putin. I see him as the best leader since the time of the baptism of Russia into Greek Orthodoxy. Putin is neither a drunkard, nor cruel, nor foolish, nor weak willed. He is not a zealot of a perverted religious sect either. He is a clever, efficient and resolute person. He took on vigorous, competent and fresh-minded people as his assistants. Although he has a shady KGB past, but as Babaji from Haidakhan once said: “There is no saint without a past and no sinner without a future” (see book [1]).

And the root of all problems in Russia is that Russian people lack understanding of the meaning of their lives.

During the decades of “communist” government, it was not appropriate in Russia to speak about the meaning of life. This question requires a philosophical-religious answer, but religious philosophy in the USSR was forbidden. There was no fundamental psychology as well: since psychology (a science about a psyche or soul) is essentially religious. And psychology (even when it got officially “permitted” in the USSR in the early eighties) was reduced to professional testing or replaced by “physiology of higher nervous activity” where all the life activity of man was attributed to animal reflexes.

But the pre-revolutionary period of Russian history was not much better in this respect either — since there had been no freedom of speech in Russia for the last thousand years. And without freedom of speech a true development of philosophical ideas is impossible.

In the recent years the presidents of our country — Gorbachev and Yeltsin — due to their philosophical incompetence — “blessed” the foisting of “tales for fools” on the public. For example, those that the mother of Jesus Christ remained a virgin even after the birth of Jesus. And that she conceived “immaculately”, i.e. without a man (implying that all other conceptions are maculated). Or that God is two invisible men who sometimes fly on clouds; or that actually there are three of them — in this “Trinity” there is also the pigeon, that is consubstantial to them… Or that woman was made by God out of a man's rib…

Could intelligent governors fail to understand that the described “sexual doctrine” is not only disgusting in its essence but also contradicts the biblical commandment “be fruitful and multiply!” And that God is not two flying men accompanied by a pigeon, but the Universal Consciousness — Unlimited and Eternal. And that people (men and women) are not at all their bodies, but souls, consciousnesses that are incarnated into physical bodies; and accordingly, the creation of man is not like creation of his physical body…

They did not understand that this kind of religion is most likely to repel young fresh minds. And having repelled them and without giving them a reasonable explanation why we live on Earth and what we should do here it throws the youth into depression that leads to drug addiction, suicide, and crime…

So, we should learn to discriminate between the true Teachings of really existing God from foolish tales and distortions of those Teachings. And only then we will be able to explain to children and to everyone else what the meaning of our lives is and how they can make their lives creative, joyful, happy and bearing the highest fruits for themselves, for other people and for Evolution.

Space, God, Man, Evolution

Space is multidimensional. The dimensions of space, in reality, are not mathematical symbols but actually existing layers that resemble storeys of a many-storeyed building. One can enter the hall of each storey directly through the floor but it is better to use the stairway. But there are some specific features:

1. One can enter the most valuable parts of this “building” only as a developed spiritual heart,

3. The “storeys” differ not by height but by depth of their location: the “storeys” of the most subtle energy state are the deepest, the grossest ones — are outside of this structure altogether. The deepest “hall” is the Abode of the Creator (God-the-Father). Outside of it there is a number of other “storeys”. And the hell (“outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth”, in the New Testament’s language) is what is located outside the “building” (see [6] for more details).

In most cases, when we say “God” we should mean the Primordial Universal Consciousness of the Creator that resides in His Abode. The purpose of our evolution is to seek to cognize the Creator in His Abode and to merge as consciousness (soul) with Him. (The knowledge about it constitutes the essential part of the Teachings of Jesus Christ but the people who compiled the New Testament did not include it in it, for more details see [1,4]). A spiritual seeker can only achieve this with his spiritual heart that was developed and refined up to the Divine level. The mind of such spiritual seeker should be developed enough to stay clear from false ways and silly illusions of pseudo-achievements on this Path.

The One Who has reached the Abode, settled in it and then arises from it by a part of Himself to help incarnated beings is called the Holy Spirit.

And the One who having merged with the Creator lives also in a human body is called Christ (Messiah, Avatar, Buddha).

From what has been said above it is clear that God-the-Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit are indeed consubstantial; this is where the idea of the Trinity comes from. But later it was reduced to the level of folk tales.

Let me repeat again that the primary meaning of the word “God” is the Creator being in His Abode. But from the above said it should become clear that Christ is also God. As well the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes this word is used also to designate everything that exists in the universe including the Creator, all aspects of His Creation and the “construction material” for it. In such case this One Universal Organism is denoted by the term “the Absolute” (i.e. God in the aspect of the Absolute).

In this Universal Multidimensional Superorganism everything is correlated, controlled and nothing happens “by chance”. It is really unified and indivisible — and in this aspect it resembles a human organism, which is also multidimensional. Now one can understand the biblical idea that the man was made in the image and likeness of God.

That is to say that the multidimensional structure of a human organism is similar to God in the aspect of the Absolute. But it does not mean that God-the-Father looks like an old man on a cloud!

Inside the Universal Organism of the Absolute vital processes of transformation of the constituents go on — as it is the case in the human organism. This constitutes the Universal Evolution.

The creation of new “islets” of matter within the Ocean of the Absolute (followed by the decay, dematerialization of them) serves the purpose of settling units of life incarnated in physical bodies there which are supposed to develop themselves and merge with their Creator, enriching Him by this.

The food for such growing souls is the matter of our usual food (prakriti). So, some souls having achieved the Perfection during the incarnation merge with the Creator. Others who did not have time to accomplish this “get stuck” at a certain stage of their personal evolution. Then will have to get incarnated again. Another group of souls is a “waste” of Absolute Organism functioning — they get cast “into the outer darkness”, i.e. into hell.

By using our free will, i.e. the freedom to choose the direction of our development, we can form our destinies.

Hell, Paradise, the Holy Spirit, the Abode of the Creator — What to Choose and How to Attain?

Some people do all kinds of silly things for the sake of spiritual development or “for the sake of God” — as they think.

Some torture and kill people and animals, bluntly and violently obtrude “their” rules of behavior upon others, some people in modern Russia drink urine, some learn to plug up lower foramens of the body in order to avoid dropping out into hell through them (by some visiting Buddhist “masters” teach this practice). Others devote their lives to performance of ritual bodily movements (whereas what is required is not movements of the body but those of the consciousness — since it is the consciousness that has to get better on its evolutionary path to the state of the Creator).

There are also fools who instead of making efforts hope that they will get to heaven by having “priests” pray for them. In some religious confessions people are instructed to recite the same “prayers” every day (some of these “prayers” program them directly for going to hell). But what is it to God or to those who pray from doing this? It only digresses people from serving God (i.e. helping other people to advance in their evolution) and also from the work on ethic self-perfection and on development of themselves (as consciousness) by means of meditation. (The only use of such standard prayers-requests, though very little, is that they accustom one to the fact that God does exist. So they can help one only at the very early stages of one’s faith development — to make it stronger). One may also hear absurd instructions for “opening up spiritual heart” which consist in kowtowing endlessly every day: since in reality kowtows cannot help one attain this.

Only when we know the true need of God and His plan for us we can understand the absurdity of all that was listed above and understand what in reality we should do.

Now, how can one attain Perfection? And what is the Perfection specifically in the first place?

There are three main aspects of the Perfection of God: Love, Wisdom and Power. Let us list what we have to do in order to either progress in the direction of His Perfection or degrade to the state of demonic beings.

a) instead of fostering love we need to cultivate irritability, aggressiveness, as well as to seek to defile everything and everyone.

Let our egocentrism triumph. And if other people do not satisfy our egocentrism we will react with a burst of rude emotions, revenge, lose peace and sleep, will live in a constant stress of negative emotions, will get sick on this account which will create even more reasons for us to for hate other people: they are happy while we are sick! It is not enough to learn to hate everyone around and concentrate on disgust and contempt towards them — we will have to learn to pick concrete objects of these emotions. And if people and animals become hostile to us in return then it will only help us in acquiring mastery in meanness: their hostility will make our aggressive feelings stronger. In order to develop further such features we need to eat dead bodies (meat and fish dishes) — then the souls of killed animals will move into our bodies and will avenge themselves upon us for their sufferings. This will cause chronic diseases of our digestive systems and later — psychic disorders of schizophrenia type (obsessive-compulsive disorder, hallucinations, delusion of influence, as well as “voices” that condemn and provoke absurd actions). We should also attune to the most coarse kinds of music and songs with violent and defiling content (using obscene language, preferably). By the way, if we use obscene language as a means of defiling other people and intensifying negative emotions it will help us in making faster progress in this direction. As for esoteric techniques — concentrating in the ajna and manipura chakras can be of great help for this purpose. Practicing all these methods will make devils out of us in the course of our lives in the physical bodies and we will retain this devilish status after the death, thus our going to hell will be guaranteed.

b) Our intellectual activity should be directed at devising special programs of further self-development in this direction. For this purpose it would be helpful to study the experience of other people who succeeded in this. For example, we can practice self-identification and attuning to the most prominent fascist politicians and black magician-devils, who make a living by “healing” practice.

c) In order to become even more powerful devils we may use special kind of training on negative “places of power”. There we can accustom ourselves with different types of hellish states: powerful aggressive emotions, paralyzing anger, hopeless despair, and depression.^* Having mastered these states we can be sure that all this will be ours almost forever until the complete decay of the soul occurs, even the death of the body will not interrupt these states! And before the decay of the soul takes place we will have time to enjoy to our hearts’ content harassing less powerful demons and various dweebs among embodied creatures using the most sophisticated ways.

… Now let us have a break from attuning with all this nightmare, and look at how we can develop ourselves in the opposite direction.

The best way to start going into the opposite direction — not to the “outer darkness”, but to the Creator — is to step aside from the human filth and begin to attune to pure and beautiful phenomena and also to make every effort to activate one's spiritual heart. (How we can do this is described in the books mentioned above). Development of the spiritual heart starts from the center of the chest, then it gradually fills up all the chest volume, grows bigger and bigger in the surrounding space, penetrating deeper into the layers of the Absolute — until it Merges with the Creator.

But no attunement and no psychic techniques can help if one does not do deeds of love, does not control one's emotions, refraining from exiting the state of love, as well as does not concentrate on the Creator as on one’s main Beloved.

Of course, it is not possible to know and to love the Creator if one does not know what the Creator is and where He is to be searched for.

Neither is it possible to bridle the emotions without mastering the control of the organs that produce the emotions. That is, one needs to learn the methods of the psychic self-regulation based on the work with the chakras and main meridians.

Yes, a positive sexual experience is highly important for the spiritual self-realization. Sexual love enriches the emotional sphere with ability to experience very subtle, sexually colored tenderness; having mastered this step we should come to know even more subtle love, even more subtle states of consciousness, which we can use to touch the Holy Spirit and the Creator.

Note, that woman's mammary glands have a direct topographic and bioenergetic connection with the spiritual heart. And their erogeneity contributes to its stimulation and natural development. Men do not have such a natural and direct opportunity, their chance to begin their spiritual path is to attune to the most subtle states of women or to use special psycho-techniques, which develop and refine the emotional sphere. This is why there are many more women who achieve success in the spiritual self-realization than men.

But in order to be called really spiritual sexual relationships should proceed with a tender love-giving of oneself to one’s partner and not with a rude and egoistic behavior. Also they should not become a kind of entertainment in the form of group sex. Sex should not become an end in itself and shadow what is incomparably more important — the construction of loving relationships with God.

Let me stress that the ability to love emotionally can be developed not only through practicing its sexual aspect. Caring attention, as well as respect and esteem for those who deserve respect, ability to forgive errors of others, to help others even if it requires to sacrifice one's own interests or even life — these are the most important and essential aspects of love that we should cultivate in every possible way.

We also need to understand that recommendations of some “psychologists” to concentrate on the love for oneself are contrary to the spirituality. The true love is a self-oblivion for the sake of others. And this is possible only if one introduces (sensibly) into one’s life non-attachment to earthly welfare and even to life in the body.

… Let us start learning to love, helping even plants. If we see a dry bough hanging on a living branch of a tree — let us remove it. If someone drops a piece of tinplate, plywood or board on the grass — deprived of light, plants are doomed to death — let us save them. When we see that someone defiled a tree by putting a dirty rag or an empty bottle on it — let us help this living evolving being get cleansed and continue perfecting in its natural beauty.

It is not compatible with love to make a fire (without an absolute necessity) if it injures living plants, to cut flowers for bouquets, to participate in killing firs and pines during Christmas time for the sake of watching how they die slowly, and so on.

It is necessary to understand that in the bodies of animals and plants the same process of evolution of units of consciousness goes on just like as in our bodies. And we must not cease it on our will unless it is absolutely necessary. An example of such absolute necessity is using plants as food, for construction and so on.

Let us recall one of the commandments that God gave to us through Moses: “You shall not kill!”. But neither Moses himself nor almost all Jews did not keep this commandment. (In the chapter of the Bible called “Deuteronomy” the Jews “legitimized” total rejection of this principle). Jesus Christ also declared this principle (see [1]) but all mass movements that call themselves Christian did not pay any attention to this commandment of God.

Yet without accepting the aspect of love called Compassion in its full measure one cannot approach the Creator. And compassion should include all living beings, not only embodied ones.

“God is Love” — taught Jesus. And if we want to become Divine and fulfill the Will of our Creator we should transforms ourselves into the perfect Love.

… Development of Wisdom begins with usual studies, by extending the range of one’s interests, by developing creative abilities — first in simple things and then even in devising methods of helping people in their spiritual progress.

The Power aspect of development may begin with physical work or athletic training. On the highest stages it consists in directly growing the volume of the refined consciousness through meditative work on Divine “places of power” specially selected for this purpose. Then the consciousness that was grown in this way will need to merge with the Consciousness of God…

… If we only have learned to live in the permanent state of subtle love — we are guaranteed to live in paradise.

If with the help of special meditative techniques we attained Unity with one of the three manifestations of the Holy Spirit (see [5]) and have mastered living in the Unity with Him then we become Him and remain in Him even after the death of the physical body.

And the Ultimate Purpose is to cognize the Creator in His Abode and to merge as consciousness with Him.

Let us keep in mind: it is the emotional status which we accustomed ourselves to while living in the body on Earth that we continue to live in for a very long time after the death of the physical body. The emotional status is a state of consciousness. It is our dominating emotions, the emotions to which we got used during our living on Earth. And after the death of the body we find ourselves in the corresponding layer of the multidimensional space — according to our level of subtlety-coarseness. There we find ourselves among other beings similar to us: inhabitants of hell or those of paradise, or in the Holy Spirit, or even in the Abode of the Creator. And after this happens nothing can change the situation: neither relatives and friends drinking on the grave nor any kind of rituals or praying performed by anyone.

God Can Be Cognized

God is cognizable, though the majority of the followers of the modern “Christian” movements believe the opposite.

The founder of Christianity — Jesus Christ — taught that God can be cognized [1]. And He is indeed very easily cognizable: both in the aspect of the Holy Spirit and of Jesus Christ who lives now (though not in a physical body) and can be seen. It is much more difficult but also possible to cognize Him also in the aspect of God-the-Father.

But in order to accomplish this one should be not a pseudo-Christian who keeps talking about Christ but lives in total contradiction with His Teachings, but a true Christian who does not live for himself, but for God, who lives in love and seeks to serve Him, to know Him and merge with Him in love.

And for the “Christians” who are sure that God is incognizable, who drink, kill, damn and hate — He is incognizable indeed. For they are not Christians at all.

About “The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil”

Those readers who are familiar with my books “Ecology of Human Being in Multidimensional Space” and “The New Upanishad. The Structure and Cognition of the Absolute” [5,6] must have seen the scheme for studying the structure of the Absolute. In particular, this scheme shows those parts of space through which we can most easily penetrate into various “layers” of the Absolute. These objectively existing parts of the human multidimensional organism are something like windows, or doors, or gates into “other worlds”. The main “door” leads to the Abode of the Creator. It is this “door” that Jesus called “the Sun of God” [7,13] because of it's tenderest and subtlest bright shining which resembles a light of a giant morning sun. Through it the spiritual seeker can enter the Abode after he has learned and mastered everything that was necessary.

Also on this scheme one can see that the souls are conceived by the Creator in the Paradise, though they cannot be called not human souls yet but rather a kind of embryos which will be incarnated first in vegetal and animal bodies. (This truth got reflected in the biblical story about Eden).

But some souls, incarnating and evolving in the world of matter, — thanks to the free will that they are given (for the purpose of better development of the evolutionary process) — preserve their purity from negative emotions. Others “attach” themselves to material objects, including their own bodies. This attachment gives rise to egocentrism and hostility towards other creatures, considering them rivals with whom they compete for possession of food, luxury items and objects of their sexual lust. Some of them even assume the right to kill animals for the sake of satisfaction of their gluttony.

Such a choice between good and evil can be represented schematically as a fork, like that on a tree branch. The choice of the way of evil is what Bible calls “the Fall of Man”.

Subsequently God offers each soul an opportunity to make a choice in ethically important situations: to act for the sake of himself and detriment of others or to sacrifice something of himself for the sake of others. That is, to do evil — or good. In this way each soul draws the graph of its development — many branchings where one always has to choose only one direction. This picture is where image of a tree originates from. As a result of moving along these trajectories of choice some souls come to the Abode of the Creator, others — to hell that they have chosen.

There is another interpretation of the story about the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” — it is also correct and adds to the first one.

The error of people consisted in forgetting that God controls everything that enters our lives; and in that respect good and evil that come to us are equal. For they both are manifestations of pedagogical measures of our loving and wise Parent. And thus we should consider everything as a blessing coming from Him. (But it is not to say that we should stop tracing and preventing our evil thoughts and deeds, as well as spotting them in other people so that we could in a tactful and soft manner help them cleanse themselves of their inner evil).

So, when evil comes to us we should try to see the intention of God behind it. And having realized it, having discovered its reason in ourselves, we should strive to improve.

One can react in a wrong way due to one’s religious ignorance — and try to revenge oneself upon the offender having forgotten about the Master of our destinies — God. Or sometimes in some originally primitive or degraded religious movements in order to explain the roots of evil people create a “rival” to God who is almost equal to Him. They call him Satan, Lucifer and by other names. (Such primitive religious conceptions can appear when people reduce the Boundless Universal God to a flying old man riding a cloud.)

From the methodological standpoint it is very important to correctly understand the latter truth. The issue is not only the correct understanding of the essence of the Divine. And not even that one should learn to permanently live in the state of love. There is a mechanism of self-transformation that consists in the attunement of consciousness to the state of a certain object.

If we attune to the beauty of the rising sun in the quiet tender morning, or to the singing of morning birds then we fill ourselves with subtlety and harmony of nature.

If we seek the Creator and try to attune to Him — we approach Him. And He helps us in this.

If we fix our indriyas of consciousness at some embodied or disembodied filth we automatically attune to its state — a hellish one — and become similar to it by our emotional status. And if we leave the body before we have improved then we will go to hell along with it…

This is why Jesus Christ taught not to revenge oneself, not to damn the offenders, but to forgive them sincerely and feel compassion for them. And not to demand back what we were bereft of — it is better to give to the robber even more than he wants to take from us — but not to exit from the state of love!

I was deceived and betrayed — big time. I was even killed by such human filth and was painfully dying for many months [2,3]. But I remained a Christian — I neither revenged myself, nor I attuned to them. I continued to seek the Union with God — and I won. And I have helped many others in this. And will help more.

About the Methods of Spiritual Work

The spiritual work should begin with studying and accepting the conception of the Path. Then follows initial ethic self-transformation, and only after one gets on one’s spiritual Path and starts walking it.

The word “spirituality” originates from the expression of Jesus Christ: “God is a Spirit”. That is to say that “spirituality” stands for association with or likeness to God-Spirit. And the spiritual Path is the Path of a gradual transformation of oneself into Him. This transformation is performed by growing and qualitatively changing one’s spiritual heart, primarily. Or, in other words, one’s spiritual growth is one’s growth as the spiritual heart.

I have written in books how one can become a spiritual heart and transmute oneself further [1-9]. Here I will only say that the criterion of the first success will be the undoubtful ability to look at the outer world from within the chest with the “eyes” of the soul (not in a figurative but in the very literal sense!). When we begin to experience ourselves not as bodies but as free consciousnesses then we begin to see with the eyesight of the soul. It is with this eyesight that unembodied spirits see. And with this eyesight God sees what happens to us in His Creation.

One can say also that the Creator is the Heart of God (in the aspect of the Absolute). This is why one can know Him and merge with Him only having become a perfect spiritual heart.

In one of the greatest spiritual scriptures — the Bhagavad Gita — there is an omission that led to a multitude of errors of people who tried in vain to attain Perfection without love, not through love. Namely, in the talk with Arjuna Krishna, pointing to his chest, said, that between these “eyebrows” one has to open an exit of the Atmic Divine Energy (it was a joke: He pointed to the hair on His male chest)… But His gesture was not mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, the joke was not understood by the readers and later many people were trying to “open the third eye” — the eye of the soul — not from the spiritual heart but from the one of the most coarse chakras — ajna. But the result were always sad: dramatic coarsening of consciousness and sometimes stresses and health disorders. (In some cases people acquired the ability to see the colors corresponding to various emotional states of other people but it had no value for the spiritual Path; it only “strengthened” this vicious tradition).

If you do not believe me now — you may ask Krishna, as I did. But first you should get close to His state and having become a developed spiritual heart learn to see Him as Divine Consciousness. (Otherwise you will hear anything from any demon who would call himself Krishna).

Divine Teachers — Known and Unknown

Throughout the millennia of existence of the human civilizations on Earth, many spiritual seekers who had been searching for our common Creator and following His Teachings attained absolute success on this Path and merged with Him having become Divine Themselves.

Now They, as Parts of One Universal God-the-Father, help us — people who have not finished their personal evolution yet. Sometimes They even incarnate again into human bodies in order to help worthy spiritual seekers and adjust the direction of their spiritual efforts.

The life and activity of some of Them are still fresh in the memory of large numbers of people. Among Them are Huang Di, Krishna, Chaytanya, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and some of His apostles (Andrew, Philip), Babaji and some of His Students (Lahiri Mahasaya, Yukteswar, Yogananda), Juan Matus and His friend Genaro, Rajneesh (Osho) and also Messiah's Sathya Sai Baba and David Copperfield Who work now on Earth in material bodies.

There are only vague memories left in legends about some other Divine Teachers Whom we know personally. They are Surya (“Goddess of sun” of ancient Aryans), Assyris (“God of sun” of ancient Assyrians, He also worked on the land of ancient Russia), Lada (the Goddess whom ancient Slavs believed to be the patroness of the hearth) and Yasin-the-God.

There are some historical personalities described in literature Who have also attained the Divinity, but only few people know about Them. Among Them are, for example, Ptahotep (we got to know Him thanks to the book of Elizabeth Haich [15]) and also Elizabeth Herself.

We are also well acquainted with one of the Japanese emperors of the Samurais epoch. He brought to us one of His Samurais who was faithful to Him in ancient times and whom He guides today — in order for him to complete his evolution.

We know some Divine Teachers Who are not mentioned in the historical memory at all.

The fourth and the fifth — are permanently blissful Chinese Taoists Huang and Hahn. On their power places one can see Their large “bodies” of consciousness sitting with crossed legs. By attuning to Them people can feel intense bliss while the energy of their bodies gets purified quickly.

We also know a Mongol from the northern China. It is paradoxical that in the last incarnation He was a professional wrestler. But He had no evil features such as aggressiveness or malignancy. He participated in a wrestling competitions with love for the opponent. Having gripped (embraced) him He the would “melt” the aggressive emotions of His opponent with the Power of His Divine Love and then carefully put him on the ground.

The School of Divine Lao existed not long ago in a Cambodian monastery. Spiritual seekers (of both sexes) used to come there from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The monastery was located on a special “place of power”. It was highly aesthetically decorated, the places for meditation were surrounded by meadows of fragrant flowers. The students practiced sitting meditations during which they (having developed their anahatas by special exercises) were to merge by spiritual hearts with the “Consciousness of Earth” in the subtlest eons and then to reach out with the hands of consciousness to every living being and say to them: “I love you!”. This was the primary practice in the monastery and thanks to it about 100 monks attained the Divinity. Later this wonderful spiritual oasis was destroyed by “communist” troops. All monks were executed and the leaders left their material bodies under severe tortures. (But the monks were grateful to their murderers, for they helped them to move to the pure “Celestial” realms).

We will talk about some other Divine Teachers in the next chapters of this book. Among Them are Eagle, Kayr, Lin, Yamamuto…

Divine Teachers both known and unknown to history also lived and worked in the last centuries of Russia.

Also — Alexander Svirsky, but He prefers to be called by the name that He had in His previous incarnation in Manchuria where He was called Maenuel. It is in that earthly life that He had achieved Unity with the Creator. And He made His body from His last incarnation imperishable (it remained as such up to the present days, resembling a body of a sleeping man).

Also we had conversations with Divine Peter who lived in Cherepovets and Rybinsk in “soviet” time. He told us that He could not find worthy disciples except for his wife.

Recently people of Russia came to know about the Divine dweller of Siberia — Anastasia. … Anastasia have been frequently visits us in the forest for quite some time now. Sometimes She comes to us accompanied by one of Her non-embodied animal friends — a hare or a squirrel. The squirrel behaves as it was embodied — jumps on our bodies, runs on them, touches the open parts of the bodies with its nose. The hare also jumps, sniffs our feet, and if we lay on the ground — comes to each of us and licks the face: kisses, expressing to us — people with pure souls — its love-tenderness in the hare's manner…

There is a stage on the spiritual Path that can be called “incomplete Divinity”. Such Seekers cognized the Unity with the Holy Spirit (Brahman) but have not established firmly in the Abode of the Creator — in the Unity with Him.

One of them is John Lennon who got into a sound Buddhist milieu in the last years of His last incarnation.

Also we had contacts with several Muslim Sufis who attained this high spiritual level.

As for Russians of the past centuries who now live without material bodies in the status of the Holy Spirit, we know Vasiliy. He had fully accepted the Teachings of Jesus Christ and lived all his life in the state of blissful and subtle love as a result. He tried to teach others this state and had several young students. But one day they got tortured to death by monks of the Russian inquisition.

The same status was attained by the famous Russian writer Alexei Peshkov (Maxim Gorky). He lived on Earth at a very hard time for Russia when one dictatorship was being replaced by another. He devoted his life to serving people with his writer’s talent analyzing deep reasons for the putrefaction of pre-revolutionary Russia (“Confession” [10] and other works of his) and after the revolution he was trying to save people from other demonic force — the Bolshevist terror. His main credo was exactly what is taught by God: kindling of his spiritual heart with the Divine Fire and sacrificing service to people (“A story about Danko” in [11]). He regrets deeply that he had to write several “ordered” works. He did not die from tuberculosis but was poisoned by criminals who ruled the country at that time.

All that was said in this chapter is not a retelling of someone else’s words, not results of contacts of a medium, and, of course, not an imagination. We have had long contacts with every one of these Divine Personalities, mainly on Their favorite “places of power”.

In principle, every one of you can meet and talk to every one of Them on these “places of power” or outside of them, to ask for advice, tasks and recommendations from Them. But in order to do this one first has to become similar to Them by the quality of consciousness (a soul) — i.e. Divinely subtle and powerful enough.

In conclusion I like to mention that we know not all the Divine Teachers who serve the population of Earth at present time but only Those who took part in teaching us. (I did not even mention all of Them in order to avoid being misinterpreted in some cases).

Paths May Be Many but the Goal Is Only One

Once, while having a conversation with a spiritual seeker, I told her that one should not just “go with the stream” of the spiritual life but that it is necessary to plan it by oneself and also to prepare reports for oneself of the completed stages of the Path. I told her that my past experience of being a trade union activist, a participant of “socialist competitions” (although they were absurd in general), and also an experience of managing a research and production collective which involved relationships with the financial and planning divisions, with the direction — proved to be very useful to me in organizing my own advancement on the spiritual Path and in helping other people; without this experience it might have not become that successful.

At that moment I saw Sathya Sai Baba come up to us. I asked Him to supplement my words if necessary. He began to speak to my interlocutor:

— My dear daughter! Take My hand! I will embrace you and we will go together! I will not give you a detailed list of what you should do, but I will whisper gently to you how good it is to be with God, to be in God, to be God! Make Me a friend for each day, and even for each night, and I will become your cradle.

Here, Sathya Sai Baba stepped aside and Babaji took His place. He continued the conversation:

— I would say this in other words. You should become a warrior, who struggles with his imperfections. You should act in contrast to the stereotypes of vicious behavior. I would send you “into the fire” so that you learn — by becoming the Divine Fire — to overcome mundane difficulties as a warrior. One must be harsh with oneself, seek difficulties in order to learn how to overcome them as a warrior, but not as a whimpering child who does not know what to do.

— I would say it in a different way. It is impossible to live without a plan. If I had not had the plan I would have drown myself in the pond with lilies that I contemplated at some time in the past. And to teach you this is a part of My plan. A life without a plan is worth nothing!

— I would offer you the plan: to continue the martial art training with subtle, tender love as the background — without inflicting harm or pain on anyone — and demonstrating your art with the glowing spiritual heart!

— Let me guide you there from one fir to another, uniting with you in your spiritual heart and demonstrating by this the completeness and invulnerability — in such Unity.

Let us analyze what was said above and understand that its meaning is the following: it is absolutely necessary to plan one's spiritual advancement and actively stick to the plans devised for the near future: Jesus Christ taught that one enters the Kingdom of God by making efforts — one's personal efforts. God and His embodied assistants only help, but one has to go forth himself.

“I am explaining to you what the Impeccability is, but you are trying to look at it from within the “human form”… On the spiritual Path nothing is a “trifle”: not thoughts, nor even the shades of thoughts, nor disorder of actions. Understand: everything you have touched will actually lie on you as your karma.

It is not enough to want to do well: you should learn to think about the consequences of every action, thought, deed — up to the smallest details.

“Feel the Earth as your planet. Everyone tills their garden. Here is your garden: your planet.

Every heart is like a seed I have sown into the ground. In whatever way you teach it to sprout, it will not unless it gets watered with My Love.

Take such heart-seed in your hands, it can be found in everyone, even in the most malicious man. And look: I put it on My palm and warm it with My Love — and it comes to life, My Power begins to grow in it. And this Power will allow it to attain Me: My Heart, My Abode.

“You waste too much time. Every minute of your life should be aimed at Merging with Me, being Me or working for Me! Anything else is idleness of the soul!

It is not important where you are: in the tonal or in the nagual — you should always dedicate all your actions to Me (do them for Me).

Then what I am waiting for will come very soon: the situation where there is only Me Who acts through your body, and your every word, action and you yourself arise from Me.”

“I have control over the pain and the death of your body, but no one has control over your soul (your consciousness) — not even Me.

The chains of the matter are illusions in which you have chained yourself; and only you can free yourself by not attaching yourself to earthly things, not “sticking” to them with your indriyas.

Fear and anxiety make you dependent. But understand: all material things change according to My Will and through this I help you to free yourself.

“A balance on the edge of a blade” that you have to realize now is the balance between the mind (intellect) and the faith. You are too reasonable and used to rely on your reason only. That means that your faith is too weak. I will lead you to situations where you will have to learn to rely only on Me in your actions. Again and again you will be “hanging on burning ropes over spikes” until your faith (i.e. your trust in Me) becomes impeccable. And that will be the cord that appears at the moment when the last rope burns out.”

“A radiation of love by a human being has an incredible power, which helps to awake everything good in him, everything that is even a bit alive. And all this good starts to grow, to reach out for the Light.

“To be Me you should not to receive Love as before by attuning to the bliss of the Love that I give you. But you have to “get inflamed” with My Love and become the Love yourself and shine with it onto everyone.

I have said it all. I have said it many times in other words. And now you have to realize it — then we will be One.”

You enter into Me and I embrace you, dissolve you in Myself. But I can not force you to be Myself! And when you begin to think as an ordinary human I freely release you back into the world of illusions.

Only you can accustom yourself to being Me, to live the True Life. No one will do it for you, but yourself.

I am waiting and My Arms are always open. Learn to be in Me, to be Me as long as possible.

Everything will become different when you begin to live in the Ultimate Reality and it will become the only reality for you.”

The methods of spiritual advancement are many, very many. They can be used sequentially or in parallel, over the long period of time or briefly. But we should be active if we want to grow spiritually.

Having embarked on this path we can go by it, or we can lie and even sleep on it “dreaming about something greater” — like Boris Grebenschikov used to sing.

Once on a “place of power” in the forest Juan Matus delivered a sermon by speaking sequentially through three students:

The whole Ocean of this Power is here, it is close. But one has to drop one's shell — the shell that consists of ego. To become detached means to dissolve oneself in Me, to look with My eyes, to hear with My ears.

I hear and see. Surrender yourself, allow Me to be you. Then you will learn to see and to hear.

One has to merge with that Power, to become It. This is what it means to become “man of knowledge”.

You have too little time and certainly no time for trifles. No one knows how far he will be able to go the path of Power and Knowledge. And no one will be forgiven if he will do less than he is able to.

We are near you. We are with you every second of your lives. Do not waste these seconds!

You should be impeccable to look at the face of death with a smile on your face. It is the impeccability that gives you the confidence and the tranquility required for the battle that may lead to the final victory.

On any path there is a threshold that one can pass only by becoming “dead”. I do not mean physical death, but a mystical one: it is time to throw down the “human form”, all the shells, all the envelopes. The stage of mastering the Power begins when the individual personality dies.

People live mostly in the memories of the past: recalling, living the events over and over — but they do it in vain.

And ahead there is the death of the body. And the forthcoming life is on the other side of it.

The love for Me, for God — this is what determines everything! I am the first and I am the last. Everything originates from Me and everything ends in Me.

I give My love to those who have devoted their lives to Me, who have understood everything correctly and who trust Me. I give them My love — to the maximum!

Now let sprouts of you grow in Me — like green vegetation in spring that covers everything. Let rays of your love shine with joy in Me.

I am Atman. My Atman or yours — this does not matter. The one who knows Atman to be one's house — he knows Me, he settles in Me. Let Atman be your house!

The “Nam” Meditation

“Nam” is a Sanskrit word, which is usually translated as “name”. In this case the principle of this meditation that has an incredible importance is reduced to only repetition of a name (or the names) of God.

But in reality the meaning of this word is more profound and in the spiritual practice it means “description” — a sequential “actualization” for oneself of the components of the multidimensional structure of the Absolute through placing the consciousness into each of them and then into the whole Absolute.

And the purpose of the “Nam” meditation is for seekers to distribute the concentration of themselves in more and more subtle manifestations of the Absolute — down to the Creator in His Abode — in order to habituate themselves to be in these states and to gradually increase their personal power.

In Juan Matus' terms it can be expressed as “assembling” of particular “other” worlds with one's “assemblage point” (i.e. with the consciousness arranged in a certain way). Later, as a result of accumulation of the personal power through such training, one gets the ability to distribute the consciousness across the whole “range of the emanations”.

This tremendous work — which takes years or even decades to accomplish — may result in the ability to enter easily the Abode of the Creator, to merge with Him there and after this to arise by a Part of Oneself from It into the eons of the Creation — with the main purpose of helping the embodied beings in their evolution.

To have this work done one needs to perform training exercises of the development of oneself as consciousness tens or even hundreds of thousand times, preferably on the “places of power” corresponding to each meditation.

And it can be accomplished in a reasonable period of time only by few people out of millions — by those who are developed enough from the evolutionary standpoint and ethically impeccable, who overcame all attachments to “earthly” things and the feeling of self-importance.

It is impossible to get accustomed to new eons of multidimensional space without having mastered the skill of merging of individual consciousness with the Consciousness of God through disappearing, completely dissolving of one’s self in Him. It is the meditation of “total reciprocity” (Nirodhi) and the states derived from it. And this practice is not compatible with the existence of one's strong ego (“lower self”). Because experiencing of the God-centrism is not possible unless egocentrism is completely eliminated.

The “Nam” meditation can be performed only the developed consciousness of a spiritual seeker that was transmuted into the energy of Love — the energy of the spiritual heart. The anahata chakra, as the generator and the container of this energy, considered as the main chakra for such training. It constitutes the middle dantyan. The two other dantyans — the upper and the lower — are only auxiliary ones, though they should be developed and function correctly. Their most valuable energetical-informational components are to be “drawn” into the Abode of the Creator only at the final stages of Merging with the Creator — after the spiritual heart has settled there already.

1. Getting acquainted with theoretical knowledge about the meaning of life and about the methodology of spiritual perfection, and accepting it.

3. Purification and fixing of defects of the bioenergetic structures of the organism (the chakras and the main meridians, the “cocoon”).

4. Initial refinement of consciousness by means of arts and attuning to the most subtle and beautiful natural phenomena.

5. Development of the spiritual heart by all means, training in merging oneself as the spiritual heart with the Holy Spirit, filling of the anthropomorphic forms created by the Divine Teachers. (The realization of this point is possible only on natural landscapes, mainly on special “places of power”).

7. Cognition of the eons of the Absolute — one by one according to the level of one's refinement. Cognition of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in them. Mastering the methods of moving in the multidimensional space.

The work with the “Nam” meditation may be started after this. The meditation becomes deeper as students progress.

It is better to begin the “Nam” meditation with “unfolding” oneself — as the spiritual heart — in the space around the body. This is done with the help of the arms of consciousness that extend from the spiritual heart and are coessential to it. Then, sequentially, with the intervals of about one minute, the consciousnesses of trainees may “assemble” in new positions: Pranava, manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the eons of the Primary Purusha, in the Earth's core, superposing with Manifestations of Divine Teachers, the meditation of Lao, actualizing of the “Mirror”, contemplating and setting in motion the Atmic energy kundalini, moving to the eons on the other side of the “Mirror” and so on.

The “Nam” meditation can be compared to “booting up” a computer: we begin gradually and sequentially to experience and activate ourselves in increasingly deep layers of the Absolute, coessential to our potential Entity. After this “booting up” ends in the loka of the most deep and secret, the most important, directing everything, Unlimited and Eternal Layer of the Perfect Consciousness — then we become ready to act from It in Its Creation — for the sake of It, of Its Evolution.

One can achieve the state of “incomplete Divinity” or paradise just by relying on the meditation of Lao. Indeed, it is so simple! The only thing one needs to do is to accept and realize the main postulate of the God's Teachings — the principle of Love!

It should be clear that everything described in this book is a practical realization of the commandment of Jesus Christ: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few”. This is the total and impeccable Christianity. We have realized it. This is why Jesus — in reality, not in imagination or in allegorical sense — is with us, in us. And we are in Him and in the Father.

The Flute

The flute is a small instrument in the hands of God

Who plays

His song.

The flute is a polished piece of wood,

it is hollow inside.

But it can be filled with the breath of God…

God takes

this hollow lifeless piece of wood

and touches it with His lips.

God starts to breath Himself into the body of the flute,

and it comes alive…

And from His breath and the flute music is born.

The breath of God and the small instrument,

merging,

become the sound of a Divine song…

There is only the breath of God

and His gentle hands,

which touch the flute with the fingertips…

There is only the song of God…

The flute itself is mute

without His Divine breath.

Your body is the flute.

And then — there is no you, there is only the Creator,

Who sings His Song of Love!

Unanswered Letters to President Putin ^*

Letter 1

When you get around to seriously dealing with religious situation in our country — I would like to contribute to these efforts.

I am a candidate of biological science. I graduated from the Biological faculty of Leningrad State University in 1968 majoring in ecology. Afterwards I worked in medicine field (Institute of Experimental Medicine — as junior research assistant, also post-graduate study; Special Design Office of bio-medical cybernetics — as senior research assistant and acting head of laboratory; Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology — as junior and then senior research assistant). Later I developed and introduced a fundamentally new system of psychical self-regulation, based on working with chakras and major meridians of a human organism as reflexogenic zones of emotional-volitional sphere. I studied and practically tested concepts and methods of various religious traditions. I have written and published more than 30 books on this subject. I have witnessed a great number of methodological errors made by various religious organizations, some of which lead people to mental disorders. I also have good reason to consider myself a founder of a science called “The Methodology of Spiritual Development”.

I have dedicated last decades of my life to this research. The results have been published in many books. I explored and have studied in detail the multi-dimensional nature of the universe, which enabled me not only to explain it, but also to help worthy spiritual seekers to perceive the Holy Spirit as well as the Creator in His Abode — the subtlest and the deepest layer of the multi-dimensional space. Jesus Christ and the contemporary Messiah Sathya Sai (the latter is now embodied in India) have been my permanent Teachers, a direct contact with Whom is not a problem for me.

I am totally convinced that Russian Orthodoxy — in the form it is in now, is incapable of getting Russia out of spiritual dead-end. On the contrary it is the Orthodox Church that is destroying the last hope of salvation of Russia. Russian Orthodoxy needs reformation that can solely be performed from the top and from outside of it — i.e. by your will and authority. I will elaborate on this — it should abandon numerous distortions and get back to the pure original sources of Christianity (for details among other sources you may see “The Original Teachings of Jesus Christ” section of my book “God Speaks”). Education of the religious preachers and their preaching itself should be brought back to compliance with the Intention of the Creator. And methodology and specific methods of spiritual self-perfection should become accessible to masses of people; people should have an equal opportunity to practice them voluntarily.

Russia, provided that you are so willing, could set the standards for other countries by demonstrating the way different religious confessions can come to close cooperation, based on the scientific approach to solving religious problems. I mean, that spiritual practices that teach the methods of spiritual work — regardless of nationality or confession — should be centered on developing a “spiritual heart” (an energy structure of the middle Dantian or anahata chakra). Consciousness of man being concentrated in this structure of a human organism can live in the emotions of love only. Jesus Christ taught, “God is Love”. And we need to develop ourselves as love in order to get close to the Creator. I am talking about the variety of emotions of “cordial” love that one can produce within oneself with the help of methods of psychic self-regulation. One needs to learn how to live in these emotions permanently.

We know the methods that make process of learning this easy and relatively fast (this is described in our books). It is this doctrine that could unite people, and not the orthodox “theology”, that knows nothing about God, that has lost Love and is advocating (in fact) alcoholism and national intolerance, which has rejected the commandment of God, that said, “you shall not kill!”

I realize that reformation of the Orthodox Church can be performed only gradually, without radicalism. I also realize that practical methods that I am talking about are not for everyone; the only thing that can be done massively is explaining (accurately) to people the meaning of their lives and what kind of people God wants us all to be — this will make them gradually change their attitude towards each other and towards their work.

If this is not commenced on doing immediately (and especially if surrendering Russia to the Orthodox Church in its current form continues), Russia will revert to the state it was in before 1917. And what is even worse — God does not think that Russia has any availability anymore — from the standpoint of positive evolution of consciousness of people that live there.

Our books are published in printed form and can also be found at the website www.swami.ru. There you can also find various theme pictures of living nature, which you love so much.

I know that you have many advisors on religion policy. But are you sure that all of them realize, who God is, what the meaning of our lives on Earth consists in and how we are supposed to live in order to fulfill it.

I am requesting you to make a decision regarding my letter on your own and without sending it to somebody “for review” (because the latter is fraught with serious complications of my life and my work; there were threats of punishment for non-orthodoxy already, I have also experienced clinical death twice after having been attacked by gangsters, that had called themselves “members of a spiritual group”)

I am not pressing you to answer, although I would appreciate if you could notify me if you have read this letter.

I will also be happy to participate in the task I am writing about. I am ready to further discuss this subject if you consider this expedient.

Letter 2

(The Declaration on Fundamentals of the Common Religion was sent as the letter 2)

Letter 3. God Needs Sound Russia

1. Differences Between People

1:1. In order to manage groups of people and even a whole country effectively one needs to be well grounded in the fundamental psychological knowledge.

1:2. People differ by their sex, the age of their bodies, color of their skin, nationality, education, character traits and other qualities. But all of these differences are relatively inessential.

The main criterion, by which people differentiate, is — the age of the souls as well as the qualities they have developed during their personal evolution in a series of incarnations.

1:3. The level of intellectual development of a specific embodied man directly correlates not only with the age of the soul but also with the quality of those lives he has spent in the incarnate state.

1:4. In line with this, the whole adult population of any country may be divided into groups (or strata, or “layers”).

In any country there are very few people (one per several millions), whose positive experience accumulated in the course of their evolution is rich enough to enable them to fully realize the highest spiritual values, including adequate understanding of the essence of God and of Evolution of the Universal Consciousness, of the methodology of spiritual perfection and of what moral principles should (objectively!) be the basis of people’s actions — both on an individual scale and on the scale of domestic and foreign policy of states.

The second — and significantly more numerous — “age” group (from psycho-genetic standpoint) is represented by socially advanced people (leaders in various fields: science, politics, military, business and so on). Their intellectual and moral level cannot be regarded as ideal one though: sometimes they tend to make decisions, not grounded on the objective necessity but out of their personal emotions, including various forms of ambition. Also they have not ridden themselves of egocentric self-interest and of striving for personal fame. (aggressive degradants, misanthropes, diabolic persons (like nazi leaders) and criminal “authorities” should not be regarded as members of this group).

The third and even more numerous group consists of those who are mature enough intellectually (psycho-genetically) to acquire relatively complex skills in various social fields, but which have not become leaders yet.

And the fourth group, which constitutes the majority of population, consists of children in psycho-genetic sense, these souls — are so young, that they are not capable of making their own decisions responsibly, their social activity is determined by the will of various leaders (including diabolic, criminal ones), under influence of which they easily and quite uncritically fall. They feel a great deal of discomfort (bored, weak, not needed etc.) in the absence of someone who would lead them; this is why they enthusiastically “find themselves” in any group built by someone around something — be it a religious organization, political party, group of drug addicts, “fans” of a football team or a street-gang. It is this type of people that demonstrates the so-called “crowd effect”, well studied by psychologists. It is them, who form gangs of thieves, robbers, Nazi pogromists etc. — depending on the will and inventiveness of their leaders. We can find examples of this in the history of inquisition and fascism, in Chinese “cultural revolution” and activity of modern Russian fascists and Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan and several other countries.

1:5. This model reflecting the structure of population in any modern society agrees with the ancient Indian teachings of varnas (brahmans — kshatriyas — vayshyas — shudras) in the Bhagavad Gita (see V.Antonov “God Speaks. Textbook of Religion”, St. Petersburg, “Polus”, 1999)

1:6. Only representatives of the first group are capable of thinking God-centrically deliberately (as opposed to thinking egocentrically or in the interests of a particular group of people).

1:7. Since the fourth one of the mentioned groups represent the overwhelming majority of population in any country, including Russia, the state policy has to be developed taking into account its specifics and its possible role in the future events.

2. Several Principles of Educating Masses

Representatives of the second and the third group accept sound ideas easily, but those ideas should be communicated to them via your announcements or via mass media. (I can offer the Declaration on Fundamentals of the Common Religion for this purpose, as well as our books and information from our websites)

Diabolic people cannot be corrected by ordinary methods; they should be isolated from the society for the rest of their lives.

The main problem is influencing the mentality of the representatives of the fourth group.

2:2. There is a word in Russian for the crowd consisting of representatives of the fourth group — “bydlo”, which means “a herd of butting cows”. But it is better to treat these people not contemptuously, but as children (like in kindergarten) — and educate them correspondingly.

There is an important thought in Tao Te Ching: “The wise regards people as his children”.

2:3. Bad teachers should be removed from educating “children”, especially those, who yell the loudest. Also movies and programs where violence is asserted as a natural element of human lifestyle should be banned from showing on the TV.

2:4. It is necessary to stop immediately the participation of police officers and drafted soldiers in the military operations in Chechnya. They are forced to hate and become murderers there. Only professional mercenaries can be left in Chechnya since they went there voluntarily, it was their own choice.

The crime outburst that we are witnessing in Russia now is partly due to the fact that many young men’s fathers have gone through training of murder and violence in Afghanistan and later in Chechnya; they teach their children the way of living peculiar to murderers and users of force, which they got themselves accustomed to^*.

2:5. In the Western European countries people of the fourth group, of course, make up the same percentage of population currently. Why is then the western European mentality incomparably higher than that of Russian population? The reason is that many generations there have been raised (and with good results!) in accordance with high (although not the highest) humanistic principles.

Why are affability, cordiality, unselfishness and hospitality are typical to the national character in the “quiet” oriental countries — unlike in Russia, where these are almost extinct? For the same reason. It is in this way that many generations of people have been raised there. In Russia masses have been raised for ages on ideas of aggressive intolerance and fear. Alcoholism, initially “blessed” by the Orthodox Church and made “legitimate” by Stalin later, got deeply instilled in the “culture” of Russian people. And now, having become disappointed in everything, including doctrines of degenerated religious confessions, Russians degrade both with their bodies and souls at even accelerated rate, plunging into all kinds of drug addictions, adopting moral principles of thieves and murderers, getting accustomed to living in emotions of anger, fear and despair — thus securing the future of hell inhabitants for themselves.

2:6. The future of Russia depends to a great extent on you and your further decisions.

Let the highest spiritual and moral principles — through your active involvement — not only become an integral part of mentality of Russian people and save them spiritually in the eyes of God, but also let Spirituality reach all people of the planet — from your country, from Russia. Among other things I mean the Declaration on Fundamentals of the Common Religion, which was written at a God’s request and blessed by Him.

3. The Future of Russia Depends on Your Decisions

3:1. For the last two years God has been telling us about the forthcoming “immense purging” of Russian population, which was scheduled to begin in December 2001 and to end in the spring of 2002. God saw the necessity of this purging in the fact that Russia with its population’s degraded spiritual mentality ceased to provide acceptable conditions for adequate development of the souls being embodied by God on Earth anymore, with no prospects for improvement of the situation.

Specific realization of the impendent “immense purging” could consist for example — in the light of recent confrontation with the Taliban — in massive deaths of epidemics that could spread from usage of bacteriologic weapons.

3:2. But starting from September^* prospects for Russia began to change: God started to tell, that you — under His influence — made a range of strategically correct decisions (related to the improving relationships with western democratic countries), and because of that the dismal future of Russia will be somewhat “alleviated”.

Educational impact of this move of yours on the population of our country was very positive and significant.

3:3. But this right move has undoubtedly provoked an outburst of hate and hostility addressed at you from the diabolic personalities and masses of people that fell under their influence, which consisted of representative of the fourth group, mentioned before. This can lead to a political upheaval and beginning of a civil war. These events are likely to happen in December.

3:4. In order to prevent the situation from developing in this way it is necessary to free the Russian society from the influence of these people, as well as of similar leaders and their associates.

In this situation various democratic freedoms, including freedom of speech, should be of less priority and have secondary importance compared to the task of saving Russia, radical “sanitation” of Russian people’s mentality and preparing the country for a spiritual revival.

God wants the Earth’s leaders to work hard on creating favorable conditions for maturing of souls in the right direction. For that purpose a radical extirpation of all criminals from the leaders’ positions in the Russian society — in the same manner as the military operation aimed at eliminating the leaders of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan is carried out — is well justified.

The exacerbation of the situation in Russia due to the ongoing anti-terrorist military actions on an international scale could serve as a formal pretext for these radical measures on isolating the Russian society from the criminal leaders.

3:5. When God had an intention to introduce more advanced (monotheistic) religious knowledge among pagans of Arabia and when there was a man (Mohammad) through whom this Intention of God could be realized, — introduction of the new knowledge was carried out by God through Mohammad not by democratic but by military means.

You have chosen to be a politician, and not a monk. But means of Service of a politician differ from those of a monk. (Later I would be happy to share the knowledge of a monk with you).

3:6. What was the reason Mikhail Gorbachev efforts eventually failed? The answer is that, having started out as a general Secretary with the absolute power in the country he began to introduce democratic principles among degenerated primitives.

Democracy means “power of people”. But in order for the people to govern a state in a rational and effective way, their mentality should be grounded in the true moral principles. But, in contrast to this prerequisite of a viable democracy, the majority of Russian people practiced a “religion” of alcoholism and fascism.

Gorbachev, possessing many positive qualities, could have done much more good for the people of Russia, if only he carried out the planned reforms taking full advantage of the power of the general Secretary that he possessed. Only after decades of wise and strict (!) governing aimed at raising the educational and cultural level of the people the democracy could be introduced safely.

You should try not to make the same mistake! You have to become a wise mentor and teacher for the “children” of your country! The wisdom of a teacher necessarily implies a certain amount of strictness — for the sake of people, as well as for the sake of God.

3:7. God needs Russia as a place where the souls that He embodies could evolve — and this place must be pure.

3:8. It would be good if among your further actions (following the already mentioned) on transforming Russia were the measures aimed at improving the religious situation in the country, which I already mentioned in my previous letters to you — the first (I can re-send it to you, if you will) and the second (the Declaration on Fundamentals of the Common Religion).

3:9. I am willing to take an active part (in collaboration with you) in fulfilling this task.

Letter 4

April^* is going to be a pivotal point in the destiny of Russia. Before that time it is you who will have to make a decision as to what religious policy of the Russian government should be.

During your tenure as the president of Russian Federation you have made a series of correct fundamental strategic decisions. God approves of them.

Nevertheless, it is not only economy, external policy, pension system and sport that determine destinies of nations, but — and this is the most important thing — the correct religious and philosophic orientation that includes understanding by people the meaning of their lives on Earth and (at least in outline) what God wants from us.

I will be brief in this letter, since I expounded the knowledge about this in my books that can be found on the website www.swami.ru, in particular.

I would like to stress that ultimate self-realization by applying the methods, described in my books — is not meant to be achieved by masses of people, but by very few of them (by highly mature souls who are very few). But the general moral tendency should be exactly like that for all people. The essence of this tendency, based on what Jesus Christ taught, is as follows:

In order to get closer to God^* (and to fulfill His Will by this) — one has to also become Love (i.e. a soul, consciousness that lives constantly in the states of emotional love), one has to accustom oneself to these states. This can be attained through both ethically correct aspiration towards perfection and special practice of development of the spiritual heart — the organ responsible for generation of “cordial”. The abode of those who achieved at least small success on this path will be paradise. But the common lot of those who accustomed themselves to living in emotions of hate, aggression, irritation and fear — is hell.

In any event all people should learn to develop themselves as spiritual hearts — by practicing esoteric methods. But those who are mature enough from the psychogenetic standpoint may also use esoteric methods of different level of complexity (for many people — methods of psychic self-regulation, including “opening up” of the spiritual heart; while for very few individuals — highest meditative techniques that enable one to directly cognize God in His various Manifestations and to
