Preface

“I began preaching to people the beauty of religion and knowledge.

“O people, men born on the Earth, who indulge in drunkenness, sleep, and the ignorance of God! Sober up, cease your surfeit, awake from your dullness!

“Why do you give up yourselves to death while you have power to partake of immortality?

“Depart from the dark path, be partakers of immor- tality, abandon forever your vices!

“Nowhere but in God can you find good!”

(From Hermes’1 address to the Egyptians)

Atlantis was an archipelago consisting of two large islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean near the Mediter- ranean Sea. There existed a highly developed civiliza- tion of the Atlanteans. The most important point about this civilization is that it possessed the true religious- philosophical knowledge, which allowed many people to advance quickly in their development — up to the Divine level — and accomplish thus their personal hu- man evolution.

However, with time Atlantis’ spiritual culture de- graded, and as a result the power in the country was tak- en over by aggressive people, who preferred black mag- ic and domination over others rather than the principle of the true spiritual development. Then God made the islands of Atlantis sink into the ocean.

1 Hermes Trismegistus is the name of Thoth-the-Atlantean

in His next incarnation in Egypt.

But the higher spiritual knowledge was preserved by some Atlanteans, Who achieved Divinity. They brought it into Egypt and other countries, where this knowledge existed for some time providing a basis for the local spiri- tual culture.

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth-the-Atlantean2

In the Emerald Tablets, Thoth-the-Atlantean ex- plains the reason for the destruction of Atlantis: confiden- tial knowledge was imparted to unworthy people and the latter began using it for evil purposes. They adopted also bloody sacrifices — and this resulted in numerous incar- nations of hellish beings among people.

When the destruction of Atlantis happened (two islands submerged into the ocean one after another ac- cording to the Divine Will), Thoth-the-Atlantean moved to Egypt (Khem) with a group of other Divine Atlante- ans.

The Primordial3 advised Thoth thus: “Go forth as a Teacher of men! Go forth preserving the records (with Teachings) until in time the Light grows among men!

“Light4 shall You be all through the ages, hidden

yet found by enlightened men.

2 This chapter presents a selection of excerpts (compiled and edited by Dr.V.Antonov) from the book of Divine Thoth-the- Atlantean discovered by Dr.M.Doreal in his expedition to the pyramids in South America.

3 The Primordial Consciousness, the Creator, God-the-Fa- ther, Jehovah, Allah, Tao, Svarog, and other names used in dif- ferent languages — all these are synonyms.

4 Light is not a symbol but a real state of the Divine Con-

sciousness.

“For working on all the Earth, give We You power, free You to give it to others or take it away.”

And then Thoth worked as a Representative of the Primordial.

… Thoth relates that He went the entire Path to Mer- gence with the Primordial. He writes that anyone can traverse this Path. The Path necessarily contains obsta- cles, which create difficulties for travelers: these difficul- ties prevent weak, ethically unworthy, or intellectually immature people from going further. “Go! But do not take with you the unwise, insincere, weak!” says Thoth.

Thoth gives basic recommendations for initial har- monization of the chakra system. For fulfilling just these recommendations He promises health and longevity.5

On the higher stages of meditative practices (i.e. on the stage of Buddhi Yoga), one has to dive with the con- sciousness into the Depths of the multidimensional space and cognize there “star worlds” and the Light of the Great Fire on the Path to the Abode of the Primordial6. There are also other spatial dimensions, which are “vacant to all seeming, yet hidden within them are the keys…”7

Thoth also explains one of the higher meditations

— the Temple and its particular variation — the Pyra- mid.

5 See information about the chakras and methods of work-

ing with them in [2].

6 The Primordial Consciousness; synonyms: the Creator, God-the-Father, Jehovah, Allah, Tao, Svarog and other terms in different languages.

7 These “spaces” are really existing spatial dimensions (pla- nes, eons, lokas) that can be cognized by a developed con- sciousness. They are represented on the scheme for studying the structure of the Absolute published in [2].

About the history of His own spiritual ascent Thoth says the following:

“Once in a time long forgotten, I, Thoth, opened the doorway, penetrated into other spaces and learned of the secrets concealed.

“Often did I journey down the dark pathway unto the space where the Light ever glows.

“Long then dwelt I in the Temple of the Primordial

until at last I was One with the Light.”

Later Thoth incarnated again in Egypt as Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice-born)8.

* * *

Thoth gives the following directions to spiritual seekers:

Preserve and keep the command of the Primor- dial One:

Look in your life for disorder and get rid of it! Bal- ance and order your life!

Quell all the chaos of emotions and you shall have

harmony in life.9

Conquer by silence the bondage of words. Keep ever your eyes on the Light!

Surely when you deserve it, you shall be one with your Master! And surely then you shall be one with the All 10!

8 See explanation in the Gospel of Philip in [1].

9 There has to remain only the emotions of love on the

background of inner quietness — hesychia.

10 By All or Whole here and further in the text Thoth means God in the aspect of Absolute.

Know My commandments! Keep them and fulfill them, and I will be with you, helping and guiding you into the Light!

Out of the darkness shall you rise upward, one

with the Light!

Man has to strive to become the “Divine Sun”11. Follow this Path and you shall be One with the All! Light comes only to those who strive. Hard is the

Pathway that takes to the Wisdom; hard is the Pathway

that takes to the Light. Many stones shall you find in your pathway, many mountains you shall climb towards the Light.

Man, know that always beside you walk the Mes- sengers of Light. Open to all is Their Pathway, to all who are ready to walk into the Light!

Suns are They, Messengers of Light to shine among

men. Like man are They and yet are unlike.

Know that many dark shadows shall fall on your light12 striving to quench with the shadows of darkness the light of the soul that strives to be free. Many the pitfalls that lie on this Way. Seek ever to gain Greater Wisdom! Cognize — you shall know the Light!

Light is eternal and darkness is fleeting. Seek ever, O man, for the Light! Know ever that as Light fills your being, darkness for you shall soon disappear!

Open the soul to the Messengers of Light! Let Them enter and fill you with Light!

Keep ever your face to this Goal!

11 This is one of the final meditations on the spiritual Path.

12 Light appearing in the spiritual heart when a soul be- gins to walk the spiritual Path.

… Open the soul, O man, to the cosmos and let it

“flow” through you as one with the soul!13

Man’s evolution consists in the process of chang- ing to forms that are not of this world. Grows he in time to the formless — to live on a higher plane. Know that you must become formless before you can be one with the Light.

Listen, O man, to My voice, telling of pathways to Light, showing the way of attainment: how you shall be- come one with the Light:

Search first the mysteries of the Earth’s Heart! Seek the Flame14 of the Living Earth! Bathe in the glare of this Flame!

Know, O man, you are complex, a being of matter and of Fire. Let your Flame15 shine out brightly! Be you only the Flame!

Seek ever more Wisdom! Find it in the Heart of the Flame! Know that only by your striving can Light pour into you!

Only the one, who of Light has the fullest, can hope to pass by the guards of the Way, who prevent unworthy people from entering it.

You shall cognize yourself as Light and make your-

self ready to pass on the Way.

13 This can be achieved only by means of work with the

spiritual heart.

14 Flame or Divine Fire is one of the states of the Divine Consciousness. This is also described in the Teachings of Agni Yoga.

15 This statement concerns the Atmic component of the hu- man multidimensional organism. On the Path of the spiritual growth man has to cognize himself as Atman and then to merge with the Paramatman. Two latter concepts are denoted also as Higher Self.

Wisdom is hidden in darkness. When shining with Soul-Flame, find you the Wisdom, then shall you be born again as Light, and then shall you become the “Divine Sun”.16

Grow into One with the Light! Be a channel of Di-

vine Principles to the world of men!

Seek, O man, to find the great Pathway that lets in to eternal Life — through the image of the “Divine Sun”!

… Know, O man, you are only a soul! The body is nothing! The soul is everything! Let not your body be a fetter!

Cast off the darkness and travel in Light! Learn to cast off your body, O man, and be free from it!17 Become the true Light and unite then with the Great Light!18

Know that throughout space the eternal and infi- nite Consciousness exists. Though from superficial knowl- edge It is hidden, yet still forever exists.

The key to these Higher worlds is within you; it can be found only within.19

Open the gateway within you, and surely you, too, shall live the true life!

… Man, you think that you live… but know that your former life can bring you only to death. For as long as you are bound to your body, no true life exists for

16 This constitutes the second and third Births.

17 This can be realized correctly only through the work on developing oneself as a spiritual heart. If one tries to perform it in other way, such a person comes to coarse spatial dimen- sions. How to “open” and develop the spiritual heart is shown and explained in detail in our video film Spiritual Heart and in our other films and books.

18 I.e., Atman, which is one with Paramatman.

19 Within the developed spiritual heart.

you! Only the soul which is free from the material world has life which is a really true life! All else is only a bond- age, a fetter from which to be free!

Think not that man is born for the earthly! Though born on the Earth, man is a light-like spirit! Yet, without true knowledge man can never become free!

… Darkness surrounds the souls seeking to be born in Light. Darkness fetters souls… Only the one who is seeking may ever hope for Freedom!

Let you be the “Divine Sun” of the Great Light! Ful-

fill this and you shall be free!

The Great Light that fills all the cosmos is willing to help you, O man! Make you of your body a torch of Light that shall shine among men!

… Hear and understand: the Flame is the source of

all things; all things are its manifestation!

Seek to be One with the “Divine Sun”!

Hold your thought on uniting the Light with your

human body.

Light is the Source of all the life; for without the

Great Light nothing can ever exist!

Know, Light is the basis of all formed matter. Know, O man, that all space is filled by worlds with-

in worlds.

Deep beneath the image of the Pyramid lies My

secret. Seek and find it in the Pyramid I built.

Follow this key I left for you. Seek and the door- way to the true Life shall be yours! Seek in My Pyramid deep beneath it, and in the Wall.20

20 This concerns the higher stages of meditative practice.

Know that it is in the Pyramid I built that you shall

find the secret way into the true Life.

… Seek and find there That which I have hidden! There shall you find the “underground entrance” to the secrets hidden before you were men.

Know We that of all, nothing else matters except the growth one can gain with the soul. Know We the flesh is fleeting. The things men count great are nothing to Us. The things We expect from you are not of your bodies but are only the perfected state of the souls.

When you can learn that nothing but progress of the soul can count in the end, then truly you are free from all bondage, free to work in accordance with your predestination!

Know, O man, you are to aim at Perfection, for only thus can you attain to the Goal!

Know that the future is never in fixation but fol- lows man’s free will! Man can only “read the future” through the causes that bring the effects in destinies.

Know that your body when in perfect balance may never be touched by the finger of death! Aye, even “ac- cidents” may only approach when you abandon your predestination! When you are in harmony with your predestination, you shall live on in time and not taste of death.

… Know you not that in the Earth’s Heart is the source of harmony of all things that exist and have been on its face? By the soul you are connected with the Earth’s Heart, and by your flesh — with the matter of Earth.

When you have learned to maintain harmony in yourself, then shall you draw on from the harmony of the Earth’s Heart. Exist then shall you while Earth is existing, changing in form, only when Earth, too, shall

change: tasting not of death, but one with this planet, living in your body till all pass away.

… Three are the qualities of God in His Light-Home21: Infinite Power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love.

Three are the powers given to spiritual Masters: to

transmute evil, to assist good, to use discrimination22.

Three are the things They manifest: Power, Wisdom, and Love.

Three are the Manifestations of Spirit creating all things: Divine Love possessing the perfect knowledge, Divine Wisdom knowing all possible means of helping living beings in their development, Divine Power which is possessed by the Primordial Consciousness Whose es- sence is Divine Love and Wisdom.

Darkness and Light are both of one nature, diffe- rent only in seeming, for each arose from one Source. Darkness is chaos. Light is Divine Harmony. Darkness transmuted is Light.

This, My children, is your purpose in being: trans- mutation of darkness into Light!

Hermes Trismegistus —

The Emerald Tablet

I say here only truth and nothing else!

That which is below is similar to that which is above. And that which is above is similar to that which is be- low. One has to know this in order to gain the cognition of the marvelous Primordial One!23

21 The Abode of the Creator.

22 Discrimination of the qualities of souls and determina-

tion of the best conditions for their development.

23 This concerns one particular meditation of Buddhi Yoga

Everything material came into existence by the in- tent of the Primordial One. All material objects became manifest through densification of the energy by the Pri- mordial One.

The Sun24 is the Father of the manifested world; the “lunar”25 is its mother. The Holy Spirit “brings up” developing souls; the Earth nurtures them. The Father of all the development in the entire universe is present always and everywhere.

His Power is the Supreme Power! It is supreme to everything else! And It is manifested on the Earth — in Its Omnipotence!

Thus you should divide: the earthly — and the Fi- ery26, the coarse — and the subtle! Act, at that, with great caution, awe, and understanding!

Become the Subtlest Fire — and cognize the Hea- venly! Thus you achieve the Mergence. Then come back to the Earth — and you will perceive the Subtlest and will have power to transform effectively the imperfect.

This will mean that you have achieved the glory of Mergence with the Primordial One and rid yourself of the darkness of ignorance.

The Power of the Primordial One is present beneath everything: beneath both the subtlest and the coarse — and controls them. It is in this way that the Creation

that allows achieving full Mergence with the Primordial

Consciousness.

24 “Divine Sun”, the “Sun of God”. Again this concerns one of the highest meditations of the Buddhi Yoga.

25 By “lunar” Hermes calls the substance of the “trans-mir- ror” eons — protoprakriti and protopurusha. From the latter, matter and souls are formed (see [2]).

26 Fiery Manifestations of the Creator.

exists. And thanks to this marvelous connectedness of Ev- erything the development goes on.

This is why My name is Hermes Thriceborn: for I act in all three planes of existence27 and possess the wis- dom of the entire universe!

Thus I have said everything I wanted to say about the doing of the Sun.

From Conversations with Divine Teachers

Adler

Once in autumn, Pastor Larry and Freddy led us to a meeting with another Representative of the Creator

— Divine Adler. We went for a long time along a trail in a pine forest suffused with morning mist and songs of birds.

“Adler is the Greatest Teacher. He has been present on the Earth always. You are going to interview Him,” They said.

Soon we came to a place where a giant Mahadou- ble of Adler — hundreds of meters in size — stood over the forest.

We built a fire, warmed ourselves, drank some coffee with sandwiches, rested a little, and then asked Adler to tell about Himself.

He began the narration:

“I never embodied on the Earth with the purpose of learning for God. I came there being already Divine.

27 In the eons of the Creator, the Holy Spirit, and in the world of matter.

“For the first time, I appeared in a material body on this planet about at the same time as Ushastik de- scribed28, just a little later than He did.

“Later on, the main oasis of spiritual culture began to form in the Western Mediterranean.”

“Was it Atlantis?”

“Yes. It was the area where the Mediterranean sea is connected with the ocean. Though the form of the coast is completely different now.

“Atlantis was My work: from the very beginning till the end I created the spiritual culture of Atlantis. From there it moved partly to Egypt.

“I took with Me worthy people and led them into Myself — an incarnation after incarnation, a wave after wave. Thus I embodied there several times.

“In the middle ages, I worked in Europe, living in one body from the 14th to the 18th century. I could ap- pear and disappear, but always it was one and the same body of Mine.”

“Was it You who guided Napoleon?” “Yes.”

“Why did he not manage to liberate Russia from

inquisition?”

“The epic work of Napoleon reached a deadlock when he proclaimed himself a king on the Earth, forget- ting about the main role of God. There must be Theocracy rather than kingocracy — then everything will be fine!”

“His war against Russia was a mistake?”

“He made a mistake earlier: when he began to feel himself a king. He had to feel himself a God’s messenger.”

28 See [1].

“Did he feel himself a king from the very begin-

ning?”

“In the beginning, he felt himself a prophet and ful- filled My Will — the Will of the Creator.

“… My last incarnation was in the Netherlands.” “Were You a king?”

“No, but I was at the palace. I took on Myself the role of a counselor, but not in the narrow meaning of this word, not as a post: I was a confidant of the monarch.

“The history tells about ‘immortal’ people, i.e. those possessing immortal bodies…”

“Saint Germain?”

“No, this is a legend. But I really lived among peo- ple for several centuries in one body.”

“Are You incarnate at present?” “No.”

… Adler shows His appearance at the time when He was incarnate:

“In this appearance I came to the Netherlands. “In the Netherlands at present there are sprouts of

spirituality. This is why I direct your attention there. You

have to spread the information about Me in this country. In the Netherlands there is a growing generation of prom- ising people; they are about 200 persons — young, brave, strong. Soon they will learn about you with My help.

“… And now I am going to tell you a little more of My history… One cannot find this information in the historical scriptures or on the Internet…

“Yes, there are legends about the ‘immortals’ in South India, in China, in other countries of South-East Asia, and on the American continent. They were Divine

Teachers — the Supervisors of the development of the human civilization. They come to the planet in flesh when it is necessary to correct the direction of the development of souls on the Earth — not the course of events but the direction of the evolution of souls.

“I never took on Myself the role of a prophet or Messiah, who preach to crowds of people. But wherev- er I came to, in the midst of chaos, darkness, and igno- rance, — there appeared the first sparks of light, the first ideas of good, the first thoughts about freedom…

“In this way I would appear and disappear, with- out attracting much attention to Myself, being a Bound- less Consciousness connected with the body which, like a lens, transmitted to the material plane the ideas and thoughts more effectively than they can be transmitted from the non-incarnate state. These ideas fell like rain- drops on the dry soil… and it took a long time for the first shoots to appear…

“Do you want to participate in such work?” “What does one need for this?”

“One needs to treat the body with the energies of the Creator! One needs the state of Continuum from the Creator. And one needs to achieve the state described by Jesus: ‘Every cell of My body became conscious…’

“This requires that the awareness of oneself in the Ocean of the Creator become a constant, unchanging state, and the energies of the material body be replaced with the Divine Energies.

“Then one gains a possibility to live in the material body with the full awareness of God. The body serves then as a link between the Creator and His Creation. It becomes similar to a lens or a slit focusing the Ray of

the Divine Consciousness, Divine Energy — onto the material plane.

“… My work in the medieval Europe in the 14th to the 18th centuries allowed raising slowly the wave of the Renaissance.

“… Very slowly love and freedom ripen in the souls of people. For centuries the drops of Divine Light fell into darkness as if disappearing with no result…, but they produced eventually sprouts…

“It was Me who initiated the wave of Lutheranism, Reformation in Europe: i.e. the ideas about the possibil- ity for man to communicate with God directly, without intermediates, without rituals… France, Germany, the Netherlands… This process was completed with the liberating wave of Napoleon, which washed out almost completely the filth of the inquisition from the Earth.

“The evolution of souls is a slow, gradual process. It is impossible to destroy in an instant the slavery of souls unable to comprehend the ideas of love and free- dom. We have told you already about this work of the Divine Teachers; it was described by Vysotin, Rossi, Ba- baji. One does not need an eternal body for this… Ev- eryone of Us performs a part of this work…

“The Representatives of the Father: Jesus, Krish- na were prominent figures proclaiming the Truth from God… As for Me, I was unnoticed — like an invisible brush touching the canvas. But the traces left by this brush remained in the history of souls. With My physi- cal body I penetrated to and fro like a needle that makes stitches with a thread of Divine Light, weaving the Ray of God into the picture of the material plane.”

“Will You tell us the history of Your lives in more

detail?”

“I will tell about this sometime in the future. It is

quite interesting; one can make many novels of it…

“Now I want you to look at this from within: from

within Me, not from within yourselves…

“Fill your bodies with a new life — the life of the Higher Self!

“I will lead you to the Goal as one leads one by hand.

“Submerge completely into Me — into the Ocean of the Primordial Consciousness! Feel yourselves this Boundless Light! This Light is everywhere: wherever you may go!”

“And what about the material plane and interac- tions with it?”

“This is much simpler than you think. A more dif- ficult matter is to dissolve oneself in Me, to merge with Me completely, to move the self-awareness into Me.

“Once you manage to accomplish this, everything becomes easy then: as you can look into Me though you live with your body in the material plane — even so liv- ing in Me you can look at the material plane and act in it from Me.

“This is how I worked in centuries, possessing an eternal body on the material plane: I lived on the plane of Spirit, on the other side of the world of matter. The body served as a beacon — to help incarnate people to find the way Home: to the Abode of the Creator. I per- formed all deeds in secret, staying behind the ‘Curtain’, without manifesting too much activity on the material plane.

“I was a secret counselor of rulers and great minds. It is from My bottomless ‘well’ that they drew their knowl- edge.

“I worked on spiritualizing humanity from the first generations of people on the Earth. I always brought the Truth and Knowledge about the Creator of the uni- verse.”

“Tell us about how You became one with the Cre-

ator. You had to learn to become God, hadn’t You?”

“Yes I learned, but not here on the Earth.

“It happened in another epoch of the Evolution. In this Kalpa, I have always been a Part of the Ocean of the Creator’s Consciousness. Many times He placed Me — as a part of Him — into material bodies. I did not have to go through the whole cycle of evolution in this Kalpa, starting from minerals and plants. I have always remained a Son of the Creator and have never separated Myself from Him.

“You know how difficult is the process of trans- formation of the consciousness in people — from the ‘I’ of man into the ‘I’ of God. I would name the rea- son for this — the ‘materialization’ of souls — in the sense that consciousnesses of people are fettered by the material concerns. People have forgotten that man is a soul, first and foremost. Thus people cease to un- derstand their predestination, the meaning of life.

“… The Creator entrusted Me with the task of crea- tion of this planet from the very beginning. Many times I embodied on this Earth created by Me. I am its Found- er, Creator, Guardian — and the Calm of souls who cognize Me. I absorb them, first by manifesting Myself as the Holy Spirit and then as the Creator.

“Do you understand now the ‘alignment of pow- ers’ on this planet?

“… At present on the Earth there are very few souls deserving higher initiations. And if one starts to teach

people in a ‘rough-and-ready’ manner, then they do not grow strong enough. This brings either to tragedies of souls who desired something above their capabilities or results in perversions of the true knowledge. And you know how it is hard — to restore the true knowledge in its original purity.

“All the profundity of this knowledge is not com- prehensible and not needed for the majority of souls living now on the Earth!”

“How can we separate what should be hidden from the public and what should be open to everyone? Our books present the knowledge almost in full.”

“Your books are written so that they work as filters. They do not become bestsellers; they are accepted by a few out of thousands. And you should not change this principle by doing something ‘to please the public’.

“Yet you have to create pure sources of the true knowledge throughout the entire planet; to these sources I will easily bring deserving seekers!

“The realization of this task has started already through the network of your websites, through transla- tion and publication of your books in other languages. This will be followed by publication and distribution of the books and films in many European countries and on the American continents.

“Understand: a powerful emanation of the Ener- gy of the Creator into the world of people happens when you create books, films, websites! This allows the waves of this Light to spread even on those who do not read and do not seek this knowledge yet! Such an influence is gradual; its effect cannot be observed im- mediately. The ideas and knowledge come through you to the material world, and changes begin to grow. The further process of changes is My task, not yours. Your

task is to shine, to give, to direct the Rays of the Divine Consciousness into this world, to bring love, knowl- edge, beauty! This is a part of the process of forming new Beingness of the Earth; you will learn to see the mechanisms of this process later.

“… There are three stages of Manifestation of the

Divine through a human body:

“The first stage is a genius: when a Divine Soul man- ifests Itself by means of a human body; at that, a small part of the consciousness in the body and the mind of the body are but an instrument in the Divine Hand. This ‘instrument’ is not aware of its coessentiality with the Creator. It is only a conductor of the Divine Energy into the world of incarnate people.

“The second stage of the Divine Manifestation is a prophet. In this case the part of the consciousness con- nected with the body is aware of the Creator’s Will; it con- veys words, knowledge, states of the Divine Conscious- ness with full awareness and with full understanding; yet this state is not constant. There are periods when this con- nection with the Primordial Plane is not active.

“And the third stage is the Highest Divine aware- ness, when every part of the consciousness connected with the body becomes also Divine. Not many people of the Earth have managed to achieve this stage. Usu- ally such are Avatars coming to the Earth Who attained Divinity in the past.

“I want to add that in the non-incarnate state eve- ry Divine Soul is equal to the Primordial Consciousness. Such a Soul, having overcome the small part of ‘I’ which appears when the Divine Energy is projected onto the material plane, merges into the Ocean of the Primordial Consciousness. And in this Ocean, no one is worse or bet- ter, higher or lower. There All are United Divine Self!

“But when Divine Teachers work in the Creation from the non-incarnate state, They manifest again Their Divine Individualities. And then one can notice Their differences. Different are Their abilities and skills accu- mulated in the past; different is the volume of the Con- sciousness with which a Divine Individuality can act in the Creation. This difference exists in Their activity in the Creation, but in the Abode of the Primordial Con- sciousness All They are One.

“… Do you remember some esotericists fantasized that God created the Creation ‘out of boredom’, that only in the Creation He can become ‘aware of Himself’? In such absurdities there is an echo of truth that only that Part of the Primordial Consciousness Which went through the entire cycle of the evolution — only such a Part is capable of being the Creator most actively. It is such Parts that become most actively functioning Mani- festations of the Primordial Whole, the Creators of new worlds in the universe.

“This is how God lives and evolves!” “What would You advise us now?”

“The material body has to be placed onto the Pri- mordial plane of Beingness and then immersed into the Ocean of the Primordial Consciousness. Every cell, ev- ery atom of the physical body has in the depth the Pri- mordial Consciousness. Oneness with It can become the conscious state of everyone of you, inside your bodies, in particular.

“The body can be likened to a sprout on the body of the planet. And in your body, as in the body of the Earth, all planes of the multidimensionality are present.

“Whatever adverse the conditions may be, you should never concentrate your attention on them. You should always be the United We!

“What is the difference between you and Me? My ‘I’ never opposes the Creator but remains one with Him. Your task is to move with self-awareness there where there is only the Higher Self.

“In the beginning you have to merge with the har- mony of everything around you, including Us. Every- thing around — loves you! Your responsive love leads to Mergence. And in the mutual love with the Absolute the lower self dissolves.

“I am present in everything and in everyone! From the Depths, I manifest everything, control everything, and give the freedom of will to all!

“You live here with the purpose of cognizing the Oneness! One can cognize the Oneness only by means of living in the body in the incarnate state.

“The supreme joy of the soul is Mergence with the Creator. There is no joy above this!

“You live in this world with the purpose of grow- ing into Me! You live there with the purpose of bringing this knowledge to people!

“And let everyone of you become aware that he or she has not much time left for Me, for life on the Earth, for realization of what I have talked about — there is very little time left!

“As a powerful whirlpool draws one into its depth, and there is no way to return then, to rise again to the light — even so old age comes unnoticed and destroys people.

“But the warrior of spirit has to have a strong mind and a strong, healthy body.

“Don’t you think that everything I have told you

is true?

“Everyone of you must make his or her contribu-

tion to the realization of everything I talked about!

“Otherwise… The time will come when it will be raining all day, leaves will fall from trees, snow will fall… And it may happen that I will say that now it is too late to achieve the Goal… too late! Autumn is old age…”

* * *

“On the Earth controlled by Me, I am always with you. I am always with all beings. Everything here was created with the purpose of allowing souls to approach Me, to cognize Me, to merge into Me!

“Realize: all the Earth was created so that everyone living on it may cognize the joy of Mergence and then

— the United Beingness! Everyone has this opportunity! Everyone can strive to do it and achieve success!

“On this Path, every seeker bears only personal re- sponsibility. There is no collective responsibility in this quest. Every seeker takes from the Ocean as much as he or she can contain. And everyone who has achieved this ultimate Goal continues to grow in Me, from Me.

“Move your self-awareness completely into Me!

“Acting from My Depths, you will be successful in

everything!

“I want to help worthy disciples achieve the full- ness of Nirvana — the stable state of living in Unity with the Creator, Who is called also Allah, Tao, Ishvara. In this state, there is no single trace of ego; there is only the state of Love and Calm, Power and Tenderness. And many Arms — Arms similar to Mine — can help you feel yourself in this state.”

“How can one help those who do not withstand the speed of advancement or the trials of the Straight Path?”

“Understand that no one is left without My help! And no one is depraved of My love! I just give every person that which is most appropriate to him or her at the moment. Diseases, other difficulties, loneliness are My lessons that will help souls realize their mistakes and purify themselves.

“I took people away from you not only for the sake of your successful advancement but also for their own good, for their proper evolution.

“It is good that the fullness of the Divine aware- ness will come to them in the next incarnation (provid- ing that it will be successful, of course)! I will incarnate these souls in the time and place I need, and through this I will create new waves of the awakening of Truth in the souls of people on the Earth.

“Realize also the fact that the people whom you are thinking about now, having received the spiritual knowl- edge refused to serve Me in all fullness when I asked them to do so. It would be good if they would serve so in their future lives — and through this will merge into the United We.

“… I am everything! Learn to see Me in every man- ifestation! Everything coming to you is My Will, the manifestation of My Laws!

“Your destiny is in My Hands… What more do you

want?

“Resign yourself — and My Power will come to the world through you!

“Resign yourself — and you will accept death as I will command you to accept!

“Resign yourself — and you will accept life as I will send it to you!

Thoth-the-Atlantean

“How do people start seeking Me? They stretch their arms to the sky and ask Me to enter as Light into them. In the same way I began working with you long ago. Recall the meditations awakening, latihan, sponta- neous dance… It was Me who gave them to you! I be- came interested in you, Vladimir, at that time already!

“In this way, gradually, young shoots grew on the good soil prepared by Me for you. Other shoots ap- peared around; some of them withered…

“By now you have formed a group of mature and able souls, and I am beginning to make New Atlanteans of you! You may call yourselves so!

“Living in quietness became habitual for everyone

of you. I want you to realize that without this quality

29 Adler talks about resigning oneself to the Will of God and not to the vicious desires of demonic people.

Though, even through such people God manifests some- times His Will.

One has to learn to discriminate it.

one cannot advance on the spiritual Path with great strides as you did.

“I bless you to continue your service to God! Re- ceive My Love!”

“Tell us, do You have an immortal body as Adler

does?”

“Yes, but it is not intended for incarnations on this continent. I recreate it from time to time among the In- dians of North America.”

“Is Your body of Indian appearance?”

“The genotype of the body is not important, but the molecular structure is restored as it was.

“I visit that region quite often: I recreate the body for a short time — for a week, for ten days, for two days. I visit Indians with the purpose of telling them some- thing.”

“Do these Indians live aloof — not in cities?” “Yes, they live in reservations.”

“Why do You prefer that nation?”

“I did not mean anything like that. Everyone of Us has no attachments to a particular nation. The choice is always dictated by the necessity against the back- ground of Love for all.”

“Are there any mature (for receiving the higher

knowledge) souls?”

Thoth shows a typical natural way of life of Indians: they live beside a lake; in the evening they sing tribal hymns specific to this land.

“These people are always in search for personal free- dom. This tradition survived through centuries: seeking personal freedom — for oneself, for one’s tribe, for all

people of the Earth! The problem is — how does one tell other people about this?”

Thoth shows an image of a tribe of about 800 people; some of them, including the chief, sit around a fire.

“They sit as you are doing now and listen to Me. “I am always an Honored Guest among them.

“Indians can tell much to other people of the Earth.

Unfortunately almost no one listens to them.

“… At present I can impart My knowledge in full to no one but to you. The broadness of the worldview, the deepness of the cognition of Me are most full in your case.

“This is why I entrusted you with the task of spi- ritual service on the Earth on behalf of Me.

“Every step in this important work has to be taken with My help, with the help of Everyone of Us. Realize the profound importance of this stage of your service on the Earth! You bear an enormous responsibility! And everything that you do has to be done responsibly, sol- emnly, and earnestly!

“Recall Atlantis. Now God sends to the Earth a simi- lar project — restoration of ancient knowledge, the knowl- edge of the Atlanteans — through you, My dear! To Me, you are My small Atlantis!

“The intention of the Creator is to fill, to impregnate the people of the Earth with this knowledge — like a flooding river in spring!

“I suggest that you be constantly aware of your re- sponsibility and of the importance of this task — the restoration of the ancient spiritual knowledge originat- ing directly from the Creator!”

“Thoth, tell us please about Your life in Atlantis!”

“It was long ago, at the dawn of the civilization; modern people know almost nothing about this time.

“Atlantis! My beautiful Atlantis — My native land, where I was born and grew up!

“In that time, on the islands of Atlantis there lived a well advanced civilization. They had, for example, a system of water supply in buildings.

“The Atlanteans possessed also the true knowledge about the meaning of life: about advancement to God, to the Common Divine Source. The life of their society was based on these ideas. Teaching about the structure of the universe and the place of man in it, about how people’s destinies are formed and about the right way of living

— all it was a natural, integral part of their educational system.

“The spiritual life of the Atlantean society was guid- ed by highest initiates; they were conveyors of truths from God.

“The inhabitants of Atlantis were not gods but or- dinary people, and their life was not carefree. Like other nations on the Earth they had to ‘plough and sow’. And they had most of the problems that any human society has.

“But the main virtue of the Atlantean civilization was the teachings about the true purpose of life accept- ed by the society as fundamental. And though the At- lanteans were mere mortals, there was a truly Divine component in their lives and views.

“… My learning began in one of the Atlantis’ spiri- tual schools. A very young man, I just began to discover for Myself this wonderful world.

“The process of initial learning took years. The stu- dents had to master, first of all, the basic skills of psychi-

cal self-regulation — i.e. the control of one’s own emo- tional states. In addition, they received broad theoreti- cal material.

“This initial stage of learning was open almost for everyone, contrary to the higher stages. With the end of this stage, the majority of the students quitted the school; only a few were selected by the tutors for further learn- ing. Thus the initial course served also the second pur- pose: with its help the tutors could find among many people promising souls capable of advancing further.

“I was one of such students: a young man striving for the higher levels of spiritual development demon- strated by the leaders of our society.

“But the selection for this learning was very strict. The aspirants were necessarily tested for steadfastness, resoluteness in their decision to go this Path. This testing period could last for years: until the aspirant proved, in the opinion of the tutors, the strength of his or her in- tent to sacrifice the earthly pleasures and attachments for the sake of this highest purpose. Only a few man- aged to pass this testing stage. They were accepted into the order of initiates and admitted to secret higher knowledge.”

“What happened to Atlantis?”

“It was destroyed according to Divine decision, because the positive development of the society ended and its degradation began.

“Thanks to its knowledge, the Atlantean civiliza- tion had a significant advantage over other nations of the Earth. There is no doubt that the Atlanteans, upon choosing the ‘evil’ path, would conquer other nations with time and establish their order, their philosophy among other people. This is why God decided to end the existence of this civilization.”

“Why did the positive development of the Atlante- ans change to degradation?”

“As I have said already, the life of the society was guided by several people — the leaders among the initi- ates. Unfortunately, at some point they fall prey to the false feeling of their own omnipotence and perfection. They ceased to go the Path of renunciation of the in- dividual ‘I’ for the sake of mergence with the Higher, United ‘I’. They reckoned that now they themselves could decide the destinies of people and the ways of the soci- ety’s development. They did not want to go further — to the Divine Perfection through refusal of ‘I’ and ‘mine’

— but having had achieved a certain height indulged in self-exaltation.

“As a result, the life of people lost the Divine com- ponent which gave them joy and inspiration for making efforts for the sake of the future Self-realization in God; their unity, based on selfless service to the great cause, was destroyed. Quarrels and squabbles began to occur often among them.

“Then the higher priests were deposed by a person who aspired for absolute power. He was interested only in gaining power by any means.

“And a society ruled by a predatory person produc- es other predators which begin to fight for the power.

“Thus Atlantis entered dark times and came even-

tually to destruction.”

“How did You avoid death?” “My Teacher led Me away.

“God sent Me to Africa, where I lived for many years then. In the modern language, it can be called emigration

— when one begins everything from scratch, begins a new life on a new place.

“I brought there an invaluable treasure — the spir- itual knowledge of Atlantis.

“The tribes inhabiting those lands were to Me like children, to whom I had to show the path of the true de- velopment. They knew nothing about the Highest and were concerned only about their everyday needs.

“With the help of miracles I captured their atten- tion and made them listen to Me. Soon they began to view Me as a leader, and I started to unite these tribes — so that they could live and act jointly, with the feeling of commonality, common interest. I imparted to them knowl- edge and technology which helped to improve their level of life and make it much better as compared to how they lived before.

“And with time, a state with well working struc-

tures was formed.

“But a state without a spiritual purpose uniting all people is of no value; it is like a beautiful shell devoid of life.

“After their union and initial development of the so- ciety, when people became less obsessed with concerns of providing themselves with food and shelter, I began shifting the emphasis in their minds to the ideas about the future life in the other world, where everyone goes to after the departure from the body.

“I described it to them as moving to a new world where they come to a new life. The well-being in this life is ensured by their merits accumulated in the life in this world. For example, they will be respected in that new world if here they earn the respect of the neighbors. In the other world they will be provided with everything if in this world they help other people to provide them- selves. Good deeds in this life are fully repaid in this new life to come!

“It is easy to see that this idea of a new life, which one has to ensure by good deeds at present, worked not only in helping people to go to paradise after disem- bodiment, but also provided them with good karma for future incarnations.

“… I became the highest adviser among this nation

but never elevated Myself over people.

“… As time passed, a natural formation of classes in that society began. The nobility appeared. And then I decided that My Mission was over and it was time to leave that land.

“I chose an heir to Me who was to remain after My departure — a wise and good man. I told people that now it is My turn to move to the new life — to the world where we receive the fruits of our earthly deeds.

“And one day I ‘shifted’ Myself from the materi- al world — into My present World, into the Abode of Light.”

“Did You teach esoteric techniques to those peo- ple?”

“Of course, there were some chosen whom I taught.

I also taught people the art of healing.”

“Thoth, tell us please what valuable ideas can mod- ern people find in ancient alchemy?”

“There is not much sense in trying to unravel the meaning of the ancient alchemical texts with the mind. The point here is not in the proportion of substances or composition of mixtures, not in the technology of pro- ducing the ‘philosopher’s stone’ and gold. One needs to look deeper.

“The alchemical secrets of control over matter, in- cluding its transformation, were known to the Great Ini- tiates. But more important is that They had the higher se-

cret knowledge about the structure of the universe and

about the Creator of everything existing.

“The outer, material side of alchemy is nothing but a veil hiding the true Knowledge about the Highest from unworthy people. This Knowledge was the basis of all the alchemical wisdom.”

“Did You possess this alchemical knowledge in full?”

“Actually, I was the founder of this direction of spir- itual development. Unfortunately it degraded with time and was reduced to useless manipulations with chemi- cal substances.”

“What is the ‘philosopher’s stone’?”

“It is very simple. The ‘philosopher’s stone’ is pro- duced when you, in the process of working on yourself, grind ‘in mortar’ your lower self, while all the Higher Knowledge, which you receive, you test by experience and accept as your own. Then it becomes Higher Wisdom and a strong base — that ‘philosopher’s stone’ on which one can construct the entire building of Divine Beingness.”

“What is the ‘alchemical gold’?”

“It is the adept’s consciousness that has to turn into the Highest Gold with the help of the ‘philosopher’s stone’: the developed and subtle consciousness has to shine with goldish Light, similar to the light of the morning sun. Then such a consciousness can infuse into the Great Central ‘Sun’ — into the Creator of the entire universe, merge with Him and attain the Immortality, Bliss, Calm, and full Freedom!”

“Will You tell us about Your higher methods of

work with consciousness?”

“It is not necessary. You know now that the higher

Initiations are given by Divine Teachers only to those

ready for this. And all preparatory stages are described clearly and fully in your books and films. We are all glad looking at the fruits of Our common work! The only pity is that so few people can understand and appreci- ate it now…”

“Where did You incarnate after Egypt?” “In Assyria.

“In a certain sense, it was even pleasant ‘to wear the flesh’ again, to come again to the ‘dense’ world — now with full awareness of My Divinity.

“Sun was the symbol of the Divine to that nation. The goldish shining and purity of the morning sun are remarkable qualities for attuning to them and refining the soul! What qualities should represent a symbol of the Divine if not the qualities of the ideal that souls may aspire to?

“And such qualities are represented by the image of the morning sun: its perfect, unstained purity inside and its shining with the inner light to the world outside, without dividing it on those to whom I want to give my light and on those to whom I do not want to give it. The absence of such a division originating from sympathies and antipathies of the individual self is also one of the qualities of the Divine.

“I was not a great leader among the people of that land. I accepted another role and ‘put on the dress of a priest’ — to have the possibility to tell people — bright- ly and openly — about Divinity.

“… There was also Alexandria — My favorite city; I looked after it. In this city I formed a new culture for the future civilization. I collected there bright minds of that time, formed an atmosphere for exchange of ideas, for intellectual search. It was My ‘project’.

“Many scholars from various countries gathered there. And quite naturally they wanted to tell about their new discoveries and ideas, to learn the views of others. Such communication and the spirit of scientific commu- nity worked as a powerful catalyst for the development of knowledge. One may say that it was a very early pro- totype of future international scientific organizations.

“The intellectual aspect of the soul’s development is very important indeed!

“The growth of a soul is determined, first of all, by soul’s accumulating information about everything that surrounds it. In other words, the soul develops through cognition. Thanks to its separateness, the soul can look at the rest of the Absolute and cognize it — and through this it cognizes Me.

“Thus, by reproducing in itself the outer the soul, in essence, reproduces in itself the image of the multidi- mensional universe.

“Then it comes to full Mergence.

“Thus a great number of individualities infuse into the One and Whole Awareness of My Infinite Great- ness.

“Hence the driving force behind all the develop- ment is the inner impulse to cognition.”

Cairo

Visiting once a foreign town, we came upon a square where stood a giant Mahadouble of a Divine Teacher Whom we had never met before.

Of course, we asked first about His name. He answered:

“My name is Cairo. The word Cairo in Atlantis meant

Earth: Earth as a living planet!30

“Atlantis was My ‘earth’. From Atlantis this name came to the capital of Egypt.

“Since that time I have never embodied again.” “Were You a priest in Atlantis?”

“I was one of the five Atlantean rulers. There was a group of five rulers-elders, and I was its leader. I rep- resented the temporal power which possessed spiritual knowledge.

“The history of civilization, the history of the spiri- tual life on the Earth is more ancient than modern people think it is. Atlantis was not the beginning of the spiritu- al development on the Earth. It was only one of a num- ber of big stages. Many times the configuration of the oceans and continents changed, and the Dweller of the Depths created every time new conditions for growth and development of souls.

“The story of Atlantis can be useful for modern peo- ple. Adler, Thoth, and I can tell everything important of it.”

“How can one avoid falling into non-adequate fan- tasizing about Atlantis? There are plenty of examples of mediums communicating inaccurate information!”

“One should not try to communicate the informa- tion which is above one’s intellectual abilities of com- prehension. Otherwise higher knowledge and informa- tion gets expressed in primitive words and images, and this results in its distortion similar to religious myths of

30 In Arabic there is a similar word qahirah meaning ‘victo- rious’. Among historians there is an opinion that the city name Cairo originated from this word.

undeveloped nations, which reflect in tales and legends some realities of the past in a non-recognizable form.

“But let Me begin narration. I want to tell you that part of knowledge and information which you can com- prehend and which should be conveyed to the people of the Earth now.

“In Atlantis there existed a great civilization. The leaders of that society possessed the highest spiritual knowledge.

“The leaders of society, who direct the spiritual growth of people, bear great responsibility. Even a small- est deviation from the principles of Divine Love and Selflessness may become a turning to the abyss where one loses the connection with the Creator! This is exactly what happened in Atlantis (the power was taken over by self- ish people), and God decided to end this period of the development of consciousnesses on the Earth — to de- stroy Atlantis.

“… I will tell you also about the Temple.

“The image of a temple is not a human invention. The Temple is a Divine structure in the multidimension- al organism of a living planet. Its most close equivalent is Shambhala — i.e. the place inside the planet where Divine Consciousnesses live in the Highest spatial di- mension; it has an exit to the Boundless Ocean of the Creator’s Consciousness.

“The Temple is the epicenter of the creation of life on the planet. It is the place where abide Those Who su- pervise the development of life on this islet of the Di- vine Creation.

“The Temple has an ‘exit’ and an ‘entrance’. This Divine structure in the multidimensional organism of the Earth is as real as the Kundalini in the multidimen-

sional organism of man. In the Atmic component of the human organism there is the memory about the past in- carnations — and it is the same with the Temple: by sub- merging into the Temple one can learn about important episodes of the planet’s life. For example, one can read the pages of the history of Atlantis — to learn about the Atlanteans of Spirit: about Adler, Thoth, and Others, who ‘interwove’ Themselves (as Consciousnesses) into the life of the planet — for the sake of the development of consciousnesses growing on the Earth.

“Originally, all rulers of Atlantis throughout centu- ries had the ‘keys to the Temple’; that is, they lived com- ing out as Brahmanic Consciousnesses from the Temple and had the ability to immerse and to dissolve their Di- vine Individualities in the Ocean of the Creator’s Con- sciousness. In this way the Atlantean civilization was guided and developed.

“Pyramids and other earthy temples are but a re- flection of the Temple where the initiation of souls was performed.

“Every planet is created as densification of the en- ergy of Consciousness up to the material plane. Then there starts the process of the development of life in ma- terial carriers.

“The souls incarnated in Atlantis had gone through embodied on other planets. They were well advanced souls but not Divine yet. The majority of the Atlanteans lived being aware of themselves as souls rather than ma- terial bodies. They enjoyed the intense feelings of life in a physical body. The power of such feelings is much more impressive than a paradisiacal life without a body. This power of feelings was delightful for souls who lived for a long time in the non-incarnate state. They lived in the states close to Samadhi, and one could call it

a paradise on the Earth. For many of them it was the last or prior to the last incarnation, and the conditions were quite favorable for attainment of Divinity by them.

“The Atlantean educational system included the skills of psychic self-regulation, the knowledge about the structure of the multidimensional universe, ethics and different kinds of art, creativity in science and tech- nology, which were developed to a high level.

“For those who had chosen for themselves realiza- tion of the highest meaning of life — cognition of the Creator — there were spiritual initiations. This type of education was closed, esoteric; it was accessible only to those who understood the higher meaning and purpose of their lives. Among their Teachers there were Divine Souls possessing material bodies, which are used as in- struments of Divine Creativity in such cases.

“The long existence of the Atlantean civilization allowed many paradisiacal souls to complete the cycle of evolution and to merge into the Creator. They did not need to incarnate again any more.

“As for the Atlanteans who, upon receiving physi- cal bodies, chose the path of material self-gratification, through sex in particular, — through them new human races were created. They were races of people who grew then as consciousnesses on this planet — new ‘shoots’ of young souls to go through the long process of evolu- tion.

“Such a mixture of races resulted in many legends and myths about gods in different nations. Elisabeth Haich described very precisely that in that time on the Earth there were races of people with very different lev- el of development of consciousnesses and bodies. The mixture of these races through sex and birth of offspring accelerated significantly the process of evolution.

“As for Those Who achieved Mergence with the Creator — They have never embodied again, except for a few Who chose to take care of the new generations of people. Among the latter are Those Who wished together with Adler to guide people on the Path of self-realization and cognition of the Divine Oneness. They embodied again and again bringing to people the knowledge about the Highest. All this is a very long process taking millen- nia; you will have a chance to participate in it too.”

Etey

Once during our conversation with Pythagoras, He told us:

“Let Me introduce to you Etey — the Father of My Greece, of My Sunny Hellas!”

“Yes,” Etey joined the conversation, “I am one of many Atlanteans who continued to work on the Earth after the destruction of Atlantis. I ask your permission to participate in creation of your future book The Book of the Born in the Light suggested by Thoth-the-Atlantean. I have something to tell about!

“The sphere of My activity was ancient Greece and the islands close to it. It was far before the incarnation of Pythagoras. Later on, being non-incarnate I partici- pated in preparation of the Mission of Pythagoras.

“My work in Greece started before the submersion of Atlantis into the ocean: some citizens of Atlantis lived in these lands among the local population.

“One of My tasks was preservation of the true knowl- edge for worthy sons and daughters of that region.

“My activity remained in the memory of modern

people in the form of legends about the Orphics. I was the

founder and guardian of this center of Divine Knowledge and the Teacher of him who was called Orpheus in leg- ends. (Later on, it became a common name given to many heroes in Greek myths who possessed the skill of sing- ing and playing music).

“My preaching was based on harmony and beauty

— how they can guide man to the world of subtlety and then to the world of the Divine Light.

“I laid in Greece the foundation of the art of music, dance, sculpture… Through Beauty I educated people.

“I also helped to come to Mergence with the Creator those who had not managed to accomplish it in the land of Atlantis and reincarnated almost immediately in Greece. For them and for several others, who were close to the Light of the Truth and thirsted for Unity, I created spiri- tual Schools. Those who mastered the higher stages of learning with Me were able to calm down the storm in the sea merely by playing a lyre: They gained the ability to influence the material plane from the state of Divine Uni- ty. They demonstrated the Power of God as a manifesta- tion of His control over matter. They taught Love, Beau- ty, and Harmony, so that Their followers would practice refinement of the consciousness and spiritual creativity rather than development of coarse power.

“Thus I recreated in Greece everything the best from the culture of Atlantis — hoping to preserve it in the mem- ory of people on the Earth for many centuries.

“Now I have given the control over broad work in that region to Pythagoras, while I Myself work only with a few souls from different parts of the Earth. They are those who are called geniuses — highly developed incarnate souls unaware of their link with the Primordial Con- sciousness. I supervise their activity and help them per- ceive and manifest the ideas that they have to perceive.

“I would be glad to take part in your work of prop- agating the ideas of the Beauty. I could contribute to strengthening the influence of your works on the audi- ence, because it is My Mastery to make beautiful works of art shine in centuries.”

Nikifor

To the first meeting with Divine Nikifor on His fa- vorite place of power in the forest we were prepared by Divine Sulia.

“Where did Nikifor incarnate the last time?”

She shows the Pacific region to the northwest of Australia, on islands close to it.

“Now it is His turn to work with you!

“You informed people in this region about your knowledge through the Internet; it was not by chance. It was necessary that in this region too people learn about you.”

“The name Nikifor — is it of Greek origin?”

“Not exactly. It became Greek, Byzantine later. This name is international, it must not be related to a certain nation.”

… And now we are standing on the edge of a large forest glade overgrown with young birches and pines. Visiting Nikifor, we are standing inside His giant Ma- hadouble, composed of Living Divine Light.

The most wonderful thing here is that upon com- ing out from the forest to the glade one finds oneself… in the expanse of non-material ocean! The other reality of beingness becomes visible here to the eyes of a re- fined consciousness: oceanic expanse with calls of soaring gulls and a white sailboat. It is also the Ocean of Divine

Light! Most tender and pure transparency of Its Depths, universal Calm, and Harmony of Divine Beingness give you the feeling of the highest bliss and serenity of exis- tence in great Oneness of Divine Souls!

“Tell us please how did You attain such Mastery — You can manifest so easily on the Earth the Depths of the Ocean of the Primordial Consciousness?”

“I grew on the oceanic coast. In the oceanic expanse I cognized the Divine Wisdom! My Love grew in free- dom, in expanse, — and there were no bounds to it!

“I cognized God orienting Myself not to Individ- ual Manifestations of the Creator — Divine Teachers, but to the Absolute: to the Universal Multidimension- al Organism with Its Base in the primordial loka — in the Heart of the Absolute. You are luckier! You have so many Divine Friends-Teachers, and I am one of Them,” laughs Nikifor.

“Tell us please about Yourself: it is so valuable to know one more possibility of cognition of God! How did You attain Divinity? And when?”

“It was long ago… at the time of Atlantis. Later I em- bodied once more on islands in the Australian region… They were very large islands; later they submerged into the ocean. There was a School of Buddhi Yoga of a very high level, similar to the Egyptian School of Ptahotep. First, I was a student and then a Teacher of this School.”

“In what spiritual traditions did You work?”

“By God we called the United Highest Conscious- ness. My Mission was to teach the students, who had achieved the needed level, to be established in the sta- tus of the Ocean of the Primordial Consciousness. In oth- er words, My Mission was to teach Mahatmas to be the Ocean of Paramatman!

“I will teach you the same too.

“Listen now to My directions on meditation: “One has to learn to live being constantly aware of

oneself as the Only Existing Self — the Self of God!

“I am the Bliss, Tenderness, and Power of the Cre-

ator!

“I am Love! I am Light! I am Blissful Beingness!

“Try to feel this, immersing yourselves into Me-

Universal, Me-the-Ocean…

“Feel that there is only My Anahata — the Ocean of Me… Or feel Me as an Infinite Wave… And there is only the Infinity of the Creator…

“And the completely purified body can be likened to a slit: through it you can perceive the material plane from the Ocean, while you are one with the Ocean…”

“But how can we learn to be always in Mergence?” “How does one master every next stage?…

“The Ocean of the Creator is the Subtlest… Gent- ly and softly, on the background of dissolving Calm — learn to BE Me!

“The state of the Ocean is soft Calm, the Bliss of Giv- ing Love…

“If you cannot manage to move to the necessary depth at once, recall the meditative methods which you know: for example, as you can expand the consciousness (de- veloped as a spiritual heart) within a tent — even so you can expand it within the entire planet, and so forth…

“… I am always and everywhere! The entire Infini- ty of Me — of the Universal Ocean of the Creator — is separated from the Creation only by the finest mem- brane of the ‘Curtain’, which can be crossed easily in any

point of space. Love easily permeates through it into the Ocean of Me, as if being attracted by the Universal Mag- net. The identical merge into One — thus works the Law of attraction.

“You are identical to Me! You flow into the Deepest Layer and remain There being connected, fastened by the awareness: ‘Waters of love which have infused into the Ocean are inseparable from the Ocean, and this is I!’

“But this is not all to it.

“With your hands of the consciousness — perceive the Infinity of Yourself-the-Ocean…

“There is only the Ocean… This is what Godcent- eredness is.

“This means accustoming oneself to be the Heart of the Absolute: the United Higher Self, the United Ocean of You, Me, Everyone…!

“The one who has known the Ocean of Love aspires to It again and again!

“By submerging into Its transparency, one blends with It!

“By giving oneself, forgetting oneself, one dissolves

in It!

“A heart which has encompassed the Ocean be-

comes the Ocean!

“A soul which has become the Ocean lives the life of the Ocean!”

“… Nikifor! The image of a white sailboat on the surface of the Ocean — what is its meaning?”

“We had light small vessels with white sails. On such a vessel the Messengers of the School went to every new spiritual seeker who, being a mature soul, addressed God

with a request of receiving the Great Initiation and of be- ing taught to help people.

“Such a request was always clearly perceivable to the Members of our School — and a sailboat was sent to such a seeker. Our messengers in white clothes went di- rectly to that person, easily finding him or her in a ruler’s palace or in a pauper’s hut. They repeated to that person verbatim the words of the appeal about the Great Initia- tion and offered him or her to go to the Path. And then the new seeker went together with them to the vessel and came to the School to learn there the higher steps of the Path of soul.

“If that person wavered, being astonished by such a prompt ‘material’ response to his or her appeal, the Messengers left to the shore and the sail waited there for three days… During these days the person could make the decision.

“Usually in these days, many people came to the Divine vessel, and our Messengers told them the words of truth, gave simple and clear precepts, healed them… All this remained in the memory of people as legends about God’s ‘descended from Heaven’.

“The School was situated on an island and was not associated with any state. It was autonomous and inde- pendent of the outer world.

“In the beginning of studying in the School, much attention was paid to the purity of the energy structures of the body (on the Atmic level of subtlety) and to the absolute control of the consciousness over the functions of the organism — both in the emotional-volitional sphere and on the physical level, up to control over the heart rate, respiration rate, functioning of the internal organs. Such psycho-physical exercises were taught to all begin- ners, independent of the age. Along with preparation of

the body, one was taught the truths about the structure of the multidimensional universe, the meaning of hu- man life, the nature of God.

“Then the students entered the stage of Buddhi Yoga. It was similar to yours; just the level of the con- sciousnesses of the beginners was much higher, and our initial steps were not ‘the first grade of school’, but ‘the first grade of university’, drawing an analogy with your contemporary world.

“… How can one perform actions on the Earth and at the same time remain in Mergence with Me? The main point here is from where your action originates: from Me or from the lower self and what the purpose of the action is.

“By your actions, you can either construct a ‘nest’

for your lower self — or do My Will.

“Conscious actions, which originate from My In- tent and realize it, can never enslave you! On the cont- rary, they strengthen your Mergence with Me!”

“But what about feeding the body, household du-

ties, etc.?”

“Distinguish the cycling of matter in the world of prakriti — and actions related to My Life.

“What you talk about is just the cycling in the world of prakriti. Distinguish from it the actions that enter the world of prakriti from Me and that are aimed outside of this world.

“You must live not only by the cycling of matter in the world of prakriti, but — with your aspirations and actions — you must live outside it!

“… It is wrong to think that God does not care about your material problems — this is not true.

“I simply have no problems or failures in the mate- rial world. And you, too, if you are One with Me, — will have no problems.

“When you are not with Me, you miss the oppor- tunity: wrongly chosen time, ill-timed action… This re- sults in wasting of time and efforts.

“Always feel the way which I open for you! Walk- ing it, you arrive to the destination in time, and there — everything is ready for your coming: it is Me taking care of you.

“But if you start a journey without paying heed to My signs, then on the finish you may experience bad luck or total failure. In other words, you encounter there your karma.”

Odin

“Odin, will You please relate about Your Path? How did You become Divine?”

“… It was a long time ago… I was a Varangian, a captain of a merchant sailing ship… Rocks, winds, se- vere storms of the northern seas…

“I learned to steer My ship, aligning My will with the elements of the ocean. I learned to stand firmly on the deck dropping out from under the feet, to unite the power of My arms, holding guy ropes or the steering oar, the will of the ocean and the will of My crew…

“Most of the time I was in the ocean. And I learned to love the far, longed-for land — to love it like a fortune, like a continuation of life which is given as a reward for the strength, courage, and fortitude…

“Thanks to this, I mastered that power of soul which is capable of making its way knowing that there are storms, the destiny, God…

“… I never ‘prayed’ to Him… I knew that He held in His Hands the steering oar of My life, and that if I turned to the wrong direction, He had a right to take this life… I felt Him — as I felt the elements of the ocean and wind, as I felt My ship and My friends, who had entrusted their lives to Me. In storm and in calm, when moving forward required no less skills than surviving in tempest, — I felt Him. … I trusted Him, but never ‘prayed’ to Him…

“… Then, I came to know love — tenderness and

subtlety of love, which turned out to be above power…”

Odin showed an image of a beautiful young woman with long light hair and great tenderness in the depth of her eyes… This image was filled with soft calm…

He did not say anything more about her…

As the ocean keeps a pearl in its translucent depths, even so this love is kept in the depths of this Divine Soul…

His might and power transformed then into love

and tenderness…

“After that, I cognized the Oneness.”

He showed an image of Himself walking in morn- ing sunlight. White long curly hair and beard, the wis- dom of an elder, the power of a mature man, and the carriage of a youth — all these had united in His body… Divinity — like morning sunlight — was streaming from His eyes. The Calm of the Ocean had become His Essence.

Now He identified Himself with the body not more than with the earth which He walked, not more than with the morning light or with the soft mist dancing above

the smooth surface of lakes. He identified Himself with the body not more than with the calmness of granite rocks towering over glassy pellucid waters, not more than with tall pines reaching for the sky… And He was all this — not more than He was the fathomless Ocean of Light in the Depth beneath… He was Everything — at one and the same time…

… Then Odin showed His present appearance, in which we saw Him for the first time. He was like a Moun- tain rising from the Infinite Ocean of the Primordial Consciousness and opening with Itself an entrance into the Depths of the multidimensional Creation. His Face with white curly hair resembling oceanic waves was the top of the Mountain. And His Hands below the sur- face of the Ocean supported with the Palms all living beings in the Creation, filling them with power — with power to grow, to develop, to love, to be…

“What can You advise us concerning how we should

live?”

“How to live? — Live with Me, from Me… And sow the seeds of My Love and Knowledge! Then people will go to the Light… — not immediately, not everyone, but there will be sprouts!…”

“How do we sow?”

“Gently and softly, as a sower walking over the field

— and in a wide gesture the hand throws the seeds… Then rain waters the soil… And the sun warms it… And time patiently goes by…

“There will be sprouts!

“Scientists working for God! Scientists studying Me, serving Me, sacrificing themselves for the sake of Me! I am proud of you; I am proud, in particular, that I helped you to find and cognize Me!

“Your scientific group, at present, is the only one on the Earth successful in studying Me. You are not only a leading scientific group on the planet, but a unique one in this respect!

“I congratulate you on this!”

“Odin, tell us please: what does one need to do in order to master being in complete and permanent One- ness?”

“The foundation of Oneness is Love! This is a very important meditation: when the entire Absolute is My Anahata, My Heart, when I contain Everything in My Heart, in My Love, when I pervade everything, control everything; when I am Everything, when everything is pervaded with My Divine Love — every single atom!

“Yamamata told you: from outside one sees the sun ‘rising’ over the ocean, but inside there is only the Ocean…

“And I am telling you: everything, absolutely ev- erything, that you see from outside, is One inside: the Boundless Ocean of the Creator — Oneness of the Whole! Everything rests on Him, everything is pervaded with the Transparent Component of His Depths!

“Everything is One, and in this Oneness you may gain omniscience, omnipresence, and the ability to con- trol everything: small particles of Yourself inside Your- self-Whole…

“And let Me repeat that one can cognize the One- ness of everything only through Love!”

“… I am going to tell you about the Aesir, as They are called in Scandinavian legends and sagas. They were the Atlanteans Who assumed responsibility for the des-

tiny of people on the Earth after the destruction of At- lantis.

“They were not many. But Their life span was much longer than that of other people living on the Earth at that time. They lived in the body for 300-500 years; it was normal for the Atlanteans. People remembered Them as Gods coming down from Heaven and ruling the Earth. They would come to the Earth again and again, taking mortal women for wives, and this would bind Them to the material plane… Yet in every incarnation, They would bring the new mortal body to the Fullness of the Divine Awareness… As Bright Suns of Divine Consciousness They guided the life on the Earth…

“I was One of Them…

“For many lives I came to the Creation and every time connected the embodied part of Myself-Conscious- ness with the Consciousness of the Creator.

“I became like a Mountain: its base is the Infinite Ocean of the Creator and its sides are this material world. I became ‘rooted’ so firmly that I managed to finish with complete Mergence even My Varangian incarnation in the world where there was no knowledge about the Cre- ator!

“… None of Those Great Souls counted on a quick success in spiritual transformation of people on the Earth. One cannot impart higher knowledge to people who just begin their evolutionary path in human bodies. Aware- ness grows slowly in a series of many incarnations.”

“Do people need to know that which You describe? The majority of them will take all this as fairy tales, which have no documentary evidence…”

“People do need to know it! This will expand the horizons, switch their thinking from little mundane con-

cerns — to a broad look into the depth of the history of civilization, into the meaning of human life… This will make them to ponder about the evolution of conscious- nesses in the universe, about the means of the Divine control over this process. People’s look will be directed not down at their feet, they will look farther, broader, deeper. The future will become open for creativity; ev- ery person aware of the meaning of our existence will be able to take part in creating this future!

“You may note that the modern youth is very inter- ested in fantasy, fairy tales, myths where adventures of people and sorcerers open prospects of life of conscious- nesses, not just bodies… This is one of the means for redirecting the interest of youth to the world of Spirit.

“If you tell the public about the Reality which I am describing now and which is much more interesting than fairy tales, then it may help to infuse a new current into the thinking of people.

“You should create a website on this subject. It may include the materials about Yamamata, Huang Di, Niki- for, Assyris and His schools, Pythagoras and, of course, about Adler. Some new material is going to be added soon; so the site can be ready by spring.”

But everything we do is not popular among peo- ple: they are interested only in how to become happy, healthy, rich…”

“Fine! Your next film may be The Art of Being Happy!”

“I have guided many Finns to the Abode of the Cre- ator! You are the first Russian spiritual warriors to come to Me — and I am very glad to meet you!

“But I ask you not to forget about the affliction of the Finnish nation that suffered guiltlessly during the World War II…

“Service! Throughout the whole planet you have to arrange camps for teaching children and youth — ‘miniashrams’!

“Inform through the Internet pedagogues of dif- ferent countries… Engage in this work all your human resources! Republish the books! The book Spiritual Work with Children has to be translated into other languages!”

“The knowledge, which you received, has to be made

available to all people of the Earth!”
