Anatomy of God

Vladimir Antonov 

Translated from Russian
by Mikhail Nikolenko

 

      On our planet there are many variations of understanding of the nature of God, of the meaning of our lives and ways of its realization. Different concepts emerged and gave birth to different religious associations of people.

      Another important point here is that people tend to distort with time the original truths received from God by substituting them with fantasies or by changing them to fit people’s selfish desires.

      Why does it happen? We discussed this topic in detail in the book [3]. In brief I can say that the reason here consists in the great spectrum of differences between people what concerns their intellectual and moral levels. The most striking religious perversions occurred in cases when the power was seized by aggressive primitives… This resulted in inquisitions, crusades, various kinds of fundamentalism when the followers were taught to seek salvation through, for example, killing of infidels…

      But all this does not mean that religion made nothing but harm to humankind. In different times in different countries there were Representatives of the Creator Who brought to people the Truth in its original purity [1]. People of primitive nature quite often tortured and killed these Divine Teachers, believing sincerely that thus they “protect the purity of faith” — their faith of primitives…

* * *

      Another important reason for fading out of the epicenters of higher religious knowledge consists in the fact that in the past on the Earth there were no advanced means of imparting and preserving intellectual information. In distant past people tried to write down their thoughts on stone tablets, on papyrus, etc. This is why next generations could not become acquainted with records made by Thoth-the-Atlantean (Hermes Trismegistus), by Pythagoras, and by other Great Ones. And even the technology of printing on paper could not solve this problem completely so that people of different countries speaking in different languages could exchange important information quickly and easily.

      At present time this task is solved thanks to the Internet and to other computer technologies. These modern technologies together with the knowledge about God accumulated by scientists, who have dedicated their lives to this task, allow now creating an all-mankind repository of knowledge containing fundamental information about the nature of God and man, about how we should live on the Earth to realize successfully God’s intent for us.

* * *

      We are not going to list and analyze here various folklore (naive, fairy-tale, pagan) ideas about God that existed and exist now in different nations. Let us begin straight away with expounding the most principal knowledge.

      It is appropriate to begin this topic with discussing the multidimensionality of space. After all, it is not mathematical reasoning but physical reality!

      Let us imagine a multi-layered pie. The layers of multidimensionality, in contrast to such a pie, differ among themselves not by the height of their location but by their place on the scale of energetical subtlety-coarseness. This is the scale of multidimensionality. The most subtle layer of the universal “pie” is the Primordial Consciousness, which is called in different human languages the Creator, God-the-Father, Jehovah, Allah, Ishvara, Tao, etc… On the opposite end of this scale there is hell — the “cesspool” of the evolutionary process. Between the Primordial Consciousness and hell there are other layers. Among them there are those containing “building material” for formation of matter (protoprakriti) and for formation of souls (protopurusha). These eons also should be cognized on the Path to Mergence with the Creator. They can be discovered when one learns to cross the Mirror, and this is possible only if one it does it from the cleansed and well-developed chakra anahata.

      I can give another example to help understand the nature of multidimensionality.

      Let us imagine a glass aquarium. Its main visible content is water. But in it there is also light, which almost does not interact with the water. Also there are energies of radio waves, which transmit information to radio receivers and to TVs. There are also energies of gravitational fields of the Earth, of the Sun, of the Moon; there are neutrinos and other flows of energies invisible to the physical eye…

      And these are present not only inside the aquarium: they are present everywhere!

      In order to explain this phenomenon to children one can give to them a portable radio receiver attuned to a certain radio frequency which they can carry in the home or can took outside. Thus children can see themselves that the electromagnetic field, which ensures receiving of the radio transmission, exists not only in the point where the receiver was attuned to it but everywhere in the space around, even outdoors.

      Moreover, one can demonstrate to children that similar fields corresponding to other radio frequencies are present everywhere; that they do not hinder each other but exist as if in their own layers of space invisible to our eyes.

      This example can be a good analogy for understanding the essence of the layers of multidimensionality.

      It is the same with real multidimensional space: spatial dimensions (which are called eons in Greek or lokas in Sanskrit) with their inhabitants (spirits of different level of development and God) are present everywhere. We are used to look only at the material plane of our existence and do not notice them. But the inhabitants of these eons see us and therefore can influence us. (Apostle Philip depicted this situation in His Gospel [1]).

      Phenomena taking place in dimensions other than the material plane cannot be seen or studied by the organs of sense of our bodies or with the help of some material tools: there is no way to move our bodies or tools there! But they can be studied very well by the consciousness developed to the necessary level.

      This does not concern the use of psychedelics, which destroy both the body and the soul! (Among followers of drug addictions there is an opinion that such substances allow one to exit to the astral plane and to study thus non-material eons. In reality in such a case, one explores only one eon, usually the eon of hell or an eon close to hell. In this situation, one cannot move from one eon to another, up to the Abode of the Primordial Consciousness. No self-development is possible in this case; there can be only degradation.)

      The correct researching activity has to be performed with the fully clear self-awareness — through the stages of ethical and energetical purification, and then through development of the consciousness with the help of the methods of its refinement and growth. All this is described in the book [2] and in our other books, also demonstrated in our films-lectures. Now let me just stress that one cannot achieve success in this work without putting emphasis on the development of oneself as a spiritual heart. There is no other possibility.

* * *

      Only primitive religious concepts depict God in the form of man or some animal! In reality, He — in the aspect of the Absolute and the Primordial Consciousness — is infinite in size and eternal. His scale is the scale of the entire universe!

      The main part of God, which is called the Primordial Consciousness or the Heart of the Absolute, can be likened to a boundless ocean. He is a boundless Ocean of Living Subtlest Consciousness existing in the deepest loka, which is called the Abode of the Primordial Consciousness. His state there can be described as Calm.

      He is not a Personality. He is a Whole of All Those Who have achieved Perfection and have merged into Him. In that sense, He is the United We, as He Himself asserts [1].

      … Love is the emotion that helps souls merge with each other.

      Having learned to love other people and all the living in the Creation, also the Creation in general, having developed ourselves as love, we can direct then our love towards the Creator. At this point we become refined and well-developed in quantitative aspect spiritual hearts. And then we infuse ourselves into Him and merge with Him in the Embrace of Love!

      This is not a beautiful fantasy or allegory. This is Reality for all Souls Who have achieved it.

      In particular it was described by Apostle Philip, a personal disciple of Jesus Christ, in His Gospel [1]. Philip — together with Jesus and some other Apostles of Jesus — is now an Integral Part of the United We.

      One can find the same idea in the Quran: addressing Muhammad, God tells about Himself using two pronouns — I and We…

      Yes, He says that He is the Higher Self, the United Self, the United We. All this is true.

      It is also important to note that though we use masculine form when speaking about the Creator, the United We is composed of Divine Representatives of both sexes — according to Their last Incarnations.

      … For those who are used to regard themselves and others only as material bodies it may be hard to imagine how one can be the United We. But verily, man is not a body! Man is a self-aware energy, which is called consciousness or soul! The body is but a temporary dwelling given to every one of us for our development during the time of incarnation. The body is as if a machine that allows the soul to act, to learn, and to grow in the world of matter. And this machine is controlled by man himself, first of all.

      After disincarnation, all people cognize the reality of being a soul. But one can gain this knowledge without ceasing the incarnated existence. One can achieve this by developing oneself through the methods of buddhi yoga.

      … In the Abode of the United We there is Calm. There all the Consciousnesses are merged into One. Intensive Light and Light-Fire are manifested only as a result of Intentions directed to the Creation and Actions performed in the Creation.

      The United We possesses all the fullness of the Divine Power, which can be manifested, in particular, in control over matter, in materialization and dematerialization, in transformation of matter.

      Incarnated spiritual Masters, Who have become well established in Mergence with the United We, can manifest Themselves as Great Divine Wonder-Workers.

      Being incarnated or non-incarnated, They can come out from Their common Abode and create working sites where They work with incarnated people. There each One of Them teaches, among other things, meditative methods to incarnated spiritual seekers who have developed the ability to perceive God directly.

      Such Representatives of the Primordial Consciousness (of the United We) are called Holy Spirits. In the aggregate sense, They are called the Holy Spirit or Brahman.

      It is also appropriate to discuss here the concept of Trinity.

      What concerns God-the-Father, we have talked about Him already.

      We have also explained what the Holy Spirit is.

And every One of incarnated Representatives of God-the-Father is called Avatar, Christ, or Messiah (these words from different languages mean the same).^*1

      This is what Trinity is.

      Now let us discuss the term Absolute.

      Sathya Sai Baba once told us on behalf of the United We: “The Earth is a Manifestation of My Beingness”.

      Yes, the planet where we were born and live is a multidimensional conglomeration. Its matter and material objects are one of the components of this conglomeration. Deeper on the scale of multidimensionality there are other eons, including the Abode of the Primordial Consciousness.

      From depths of multidimensionality, the Earth is seen as a structure consisting of Divine Light; it is only its outer layer (crust) that is dense and solid. Such a structure can be likened to a bud on a tree. The bud originates from the substance of the tree; it is not completely independent, not existing on its own. Despite the fact that the structure of the bud’s tissues differ from the structure of the tissues of its parent’s substance, the bud and the tree are one.

      It is the same with conglomerations of planets and stars: they do not exist on their own; they are but “buds” of the Creation produced by the Creator.

It is in this sense that one speaks about God as about the Absolute: He is Absolutely Everything, the Creator coessential with His Creation.

* * *

      In this article we have to discuss one more subject: Fiery and Light Divine Manifestations.

      Representatives of the United We come out with a Part of Themselves from Their common Abode to Their working sites in slightly different ways. Some of Them do it being fully transparent Consciousnesses; They are, for example, Huang Di, Apostle Philip, Gautama Buddha. Others create at Their working sites Mahadoubles: giant anthropomorphic Forms consisting of most tender Living Light. Such are most of Them (according to our observations). Others yet, in addition to manifesting Themselves in the form of Mahadoubles, create forms shining with bright Light-Fire, resembling the usual Sun seen from the Earth.

      Jesus called such Manifestations of Holy Spirits — looking like the Sun, bright, intense, stationary with regard to the Earth’s surface — Suns of God [4]. Their color can vary from light-goldish — to orange tint (in case of Surya) or to reddish tint (in case of Sarkar). Apart from the two mentioned Representatives of the Creator, we observed Suns of God created by Jesus, by His Apostles Mark and John, also by Sathya Sai Baba, Eagle, Assyris, Odin, Adler, Bartholomew, Ptahotep, Larisa, Sulia, Lada, Yamamata.^*2

      … Every One of Holy Spirits can have several working sites, which are situated sometimes thousand kilometers from each other.

      Today we have a unique possibility for studying such an activity of Divine Teachers because Sathya Sai Baba has a material body in His Indian Ashram. This allows observing hidden aspects of work of this Great Avatar of our time, the structure of how He distributes Himself for the sake of helping incarnated people.

      He comes out from the Abode of the United We as a giant Sun of God shining from His Ashram. This is the center of His activity on the Earth. From there He stretches His numerous Divine Arms to many places on the surface of our planet. These Arms pass through the Ocean of the United We like underground fiery riverbeds. They end at larger or smaller working sites of His, where His Mahadoubles are present; we know also one of His working sites where there is a Sun of God.

      Suns of God are seen sometimes as if behind the horizon, but most often they appear to a certain degree above the surface of the Earth.

      Suns of God are boundary structures formed at places where some Representatives of the Primordial Consciousness come out from Their Abode. These are Their Atmans.

      Suns of God is one of the manifestations of the Divine Fire. (The latter can exist in forms other than Sun of God.)

      The Divine Fire created by Holy Spirits or by Avatars can be used by us for purification and healing of our bodies and for divinizing the matter of the body. This Fire is not burning for those who progress successfully on the Path to Perfection. But hellish souls (incarnated and non-incarnated) cannot withstand It.

      True spiritual warriors can place themselves in the Divine Fire not only as souls but also together with their bodies — if there is a Sun of God available for such a work. In this case they can, among other things, purify their bodies — with the help of the hands of the consciousness — from all energies coarser than the Divine Fire. Thanks to this work, bodies with their energies are purified, healed, transformed. From fully purified bodies it is much easier to enter the Divine eons. (On the contrary, this is impossible to do from the body contaminated with coarse energies).

      But it is even more prospective to become Suns of God ourselves.

      It is for this purpose that we were incarnated on the Earth! This is why God send us here!

      Let us ask ourselves: does my current way of life conform to this Path?

      And we have to remember that one should begin self-transformation with the very beginning! Where is the beginning? — One has to find it on one’s own by studying in detail the materials listed in the end of this book.

* * *

      To beg salvation from God is a completely meaningless thing. Jesus Christ taught that everyone has to cognize and master the Abode of the Creator with their own efforts (Matt 11:12; Luke 16:16).

      Also Jesus commanded: Become perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect (Matt 5:48)!

      Also: Learn (this) from Me (Matt 11:29)!

      Yes, Jesus and all Holy Spirits are glad to help every one of incarnated people. But people have to make efforts on self-development themselves!

      And there is no reason for us to regard God as our Servant who allegedly has to indulge us and save us, while we continue to live in our vices!

      God looking at people begging salvation from Him may ask: how can one save them? They do nothing to be saved! They do not follow Our recommendations — despite all Our efforts; despite, in particular, the self-sacrificial Feat of Jesus Christ Who gave to people Teachings about the Path to Our Abode! And only in this Abode one finds the true and final Salvation! By the way, is parasitism a quality that should be encouraged in people? No! They have to work on themselves! Only to such people We give Our help in abundance!

      The author of this book took heed of this truth several tens of years ago — and accepted God as his Teacher. He managed to save himself and helped many others on this path.

      … It is much more difficult to pave a way than to walk an already paved road! The road has been paved for you now! You just need to learn “the rules of the road” and to begin to move forward!…

Is God Cognizable?

Vladimir Antonov 

Translated from Russian
by Mikhail Nikolenko

       Is God cognizable? Yes, but not for everyone.

      In order to cognize Him, it is important to have correct notions about Him.

      For example if one imagines Him as an invisible person flying on a cloud or sitting on a king’s throne in heaven or in some planet, or anything like that — then God is incognizable. Because there is no such a God!

      God has nothing to do with a three-leafed symbol, though such a fantasy exists in Catholicism!

      In reality there is God, but He is different. And in order to cognize and study Him, one needs another approach to this task: not an approach of zealots of a religious sect but a scientific approach — that is the approach of people who possess a broad scientific outlook and knowledge, in particular the knowledge about the structure of the multidimensional universe.

      Also one needs to take into account that God cannot be cognized with the use of material tools. He is a Consciousness (Spirit), and therefore He can be cognized only by a human consciousness developed to the necessary level.

      For this purpose one needs:

      a) to have an adequate understanding of where we have to search for Him;

      b) to correspond by the personal qualities to what God wants us to be, because He allows only such people to come to Him; this concerns, first of all, the ethical impeccability and subtlety of the consciousness;

      c) to posses the entirety of knowledge about the psycho-energetical methods of self-development, also to be well-developed in this aspect.

      There are sects denying completely the possibility for man to cognize God. Moreover, they can even prohibit personal efforts on spiritual self-development: allegedly this makes one become proud, and this is the most terrible sin! Such sects allow only praying: when one endlessly beseeches God to grant a salvation from earthly troubles and from going to hell… Of course, for the members of such sects God is also incognizable!

      He is incognizable also for those who seek only personal “salvation” in paradise; such people believe that they can guarantee paradise for themselves by repeating certain mantras or prayers, or by doing other things of that kind, like participation in certain rituals.

      No: God wants us to aspire to Perfection, like the Perfection of the Creator! Jesus Christ also commanded this: “Be perfect even as your Heavenly Father is perfect!” (Matt 5:48)

      Jesus also taught that the Heavenly Kingdom (that is the Abode of the Creator) is achieved thanks to one’s own personal efforts! (Matt 11:12)

      “I and the Father are One”, Jesus Christ said about Himself (John 10:30). And “Learn from Me!” (Matt 11:29).

      … Someone may ask: “Why does He need this?”

We have discussed this subject many times in our books, films, and articles [1-5]. Here let us just mention briefly the main points.

* * *

       In reality, God in the aspect of the Creator does not resemble, at all, either the human appearance or the appearance of any animal! He is an infinite in size and eternal in time Ocean of Living Consciousness, which is perceived as Living Light (or Light-Fire), abiding in the most deep stratum of the multidimensional Absolute(*1). He is really perfect! And yet He exists in the state of His further development.

      It is for this purpose that the Creator creates material “islands” — stars and planets — from the protomatter existing in cosmic space. And then He incarnates souls into material bodies on the planets suitable for this purpose.

      Material organic bodies are created by Him so that they are capable of reproduction — through sexual and other ways of multiplication. Moreover, thanks to the mechanism of genetic mutations controlled by Him, the process of appearing of new biological species takes place.

      That is, on an inhabited planet two parallel processes of evolution take place: a) the evolution of plants, animals, and other organic forms of life, and b) the evolution of souls incarnated in these bodies; souls go through a series incarnations in more and more complex organic forms.

      The acme of this process of the development of souls (individual consciousnesses) is the human being. The task of people is to strive to develop themselves to the Divine Perfection and then to merge with the Primordial Consciousness. It is for this purpose that the entire manifested world of the Creation with everything happening in it exists: thanks to this final stage of the evolution of individual consciousnesses infusing into Him and merging with Him, our Creator enriches Himself with new perfect Souls.

      Therefore it becomes clear that the Primordial Consciousness (which is called also the Creator, God-the-Father, and by other names in different human languages) is the collective We of Everybody Who has infused into Him(*2).

      And Those Who come out again from the Abode of the Primordial Consciousness into the Creation for the sake of providing spiritual help to incarnated beings are called Holy Spirits(*3). There are many of Them working on the Earth. We have published biographies of some of Them in the book [3].

      If such a Representative of the Creator incarnates into a human body with the purpose of providing spiritual help to us more efficiently, then He is called (in different languages) Messiah, Christ, Avatar.

* * *

       The entirety of these processes on all the planets suitable for this purpose in the boundless universe — is the most important element of the Evolution of the Universal Consciousness: of the Evolution of God in the aspects of the Creator and in the aspect of the entire Absolute.

      Therefore the task of every one of us is not about dedicating the life to entertainments and multiplication (at best), not about striving to go to paradise; it consists in developing ourselves with the purpose of achieving the Perfection demonstrated by God.

      What does one need to do for realization of this task?

      First one has to study and to apply to oneself the ethical principles suggested to us by God. The main point here is to destroy one’s own egocentrism. It is egocentrism that is the foundation of our vices and calamities, including selfishness, ambitiousness, envy, offensiveness, jealousy, vindictiveness, irritability, angriness, etc. We have to strive to analyze such our qualities with the mind — and then to struggle with them in ourselves, in particular with the help of the method of repentance(*4).

      With the help of the mind we can rid ourselves of dominant negative thoughts, for example: thinking ill of someone or something. When such thoughts occur, one needs just to switch the thinking process to a positive direction: to think about struggling with one’s own imperfections, about other efforts on the spiritual Path, about God, about helping others.

     It is very difficult to overcome such vices without the use of special methods of psychical self-regulation [2] based on working with the chakras. Let me note that all such vices disappear with time if together with doing aforementioned intellectual work one learns to live by the spiritual heart.

      The development of the intellect is very important for achieving success on the spiritual Path. Without a developed intellect one cannot overcome vices! And the inability of masses of people to understand the falsity of numerous sectarian pseudo-spiritual concepts also results from a lack of wisdom in these people.

      Love, Wisdom, Power, and the highest Subtlety of the consciousness — these are the main qualities of the Creator and of His Representatives. Therefore, on the path to Perfection, we have to develop ourselves in these directions.

      We cognize Perfection in the aspect of Love first of all through compassion for all beings and care of them, also through development of ourselves as spiritual hearts. Help everyone in everything good, strive to never offend anyone! — by accepting and following this principle we can significantly accelerate our development in this direction.

      Man gains wisdom through accumulation of useful knowledge and through creativity. It is very important that the intellectual activity not be only about helping oneself but be an element of one’s service to God, which is manifested as service to people, spiritual service first of all.

      As for the power aspect of the consciousness, it is directly related to the size of the consciousness. An individual consciousness can develop not only in qualitative aspect, like getting rid of certain qualities, features. It can also grow or diminish in size. The process of soul’s growth in natural conditions is related to the level of one’s vigor, energy. And its quantitative degradation is caused by dominant and depressive emotions, for example a chronic feeling of offense, suppression, despair, etc.

      There is a possibility to grow the consciousness in size with the use of special meditative techniques.

      On the Path of spiritual self-development, only the growth of a subtle consciousness rather than of a coarse one is valuable. The subtlety of the consciousness is achieved first through emotional attunement with everything beautiful in the world of the Creation, and then through attunement and Mergence with the Holy Spirit, then with the Primordial Consciousness in Its Abode.

      And the development of coarseness of the consciousness leads one to hell — to the “cesspool” of the Evolutionary Process.

* * *

      Is it clear now that the tendency to beg from God, which is so typical of many people, is one of the grossest mistakes? It results in the growth of egocentrism in people, in particular in one of its most despising forms — in the form of parasitism. “I want!”, “Give me!”, “Give, give, give!” — this is the opposite of what the Creator wants to see in us!
      And He wants that we learn love-giving, giving of ourselves to Him and to deserving people!
      God is Love (1 John 4:8; 4:16) and become closer to God (James 4:8) — thus the Apostles expressed in Their Epistles the basics of the Teachings of Jesus Christ. And one can become closer to the Creator only by beginning to transform oneself into Love — to transform the qualities of the soul. And one has to understand that egocentric passions and desires regarded by many non-spiritual people as “love” are nothing but a travesty of the true love.

* * *

      Where can we find the Creator?
      He is present everywhere. One does not need to go to space or to climb mountains to find Him. He is present inside our bodies in particular, as it was told by Jesus Christ (Luke 17:21). Yet He abides in another — the subtlest — spatial dimension. From this dimension He sees everything taking place in the Creation, everything happening with every one of us. But an ordinary person cannot see Him. In order to see Him one needs to make corresponding spiritual efforts on transformation of oneself. And then the Creator becomes available for cognition and for direct communication with Him. Where? — In the depths of one’s own developed spiritual heart.
      Blissful are pure in heart for they shall see God, said Jesus Christ (Matt 5:8).
The methods of development of the spiritual heart and submergence into its depth, how to cognize the Creator and to merge with Him — all these methods given to us by Him were described in our books and demonstrated in our films.
      … Apostle Philip wrote in His Gospel [3]: “I say this to those who are not just interested in the words ‘the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit’, but who gain Them truly for themselves… Verily, one can gain Them by the blessing of God in the realization of all the fullness of the power of the Cross, which was called by the apostles the Right-and-Left. The One, Who cognized this, is no longer a Christian but a Christ.” Philip says here about one of the highest meditations performed from the Abode of the Creator, from the state of Mergence with Him.

* * *

      The knowledge which we discuss here cannot be called new. The same knowledge was brought to people by Messiahs incarnated in Atlantis, ancient Egypt, China, India, America, Arabia, European countries, and the countries of southeast Asia [3]. Yet this information received from God was forgotten or lost; the texts of the holy books were understood incorrectly; their translations into modern languages were perverted, sometimes up to the opposite …
      At present time, the growing levels of drug addiction, suicide, and criminality (out of selfish motives or as a manifestation of dull aggression) in many countries considering themselves “cultural” and “civilized” clearly show that the population of these countries does not have true purposes in life. And this in turn indicates the falsity of the philosophical concepts which dominate on our planet.
      Therefore there is the necessity of integration of the knowledge imparted to people by God and of spreading it in the form of Teachings of God expressed in a simple and clear for everyone form.
      Thanks to extending the biological research on the non-incarnated forms of life done by the author of this article, scientist-biologist and by his colleagues, a new direction of modern science was formed — methodology of spiritual development. The theoretical knowledge and methods of this direction(*5) allows deserving people to cognize God in the aspect of the Creator, in the aspect of the Holy Spirit, and in the aspect of the Absolute. Those who achieve success on this Path do not doubt for example the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin: they see non-incarnated Jesus Christ in the same appearance as on the photographs made from this Shroud. Their communication with living Jesus, as with other Divine Teachers (Holy Spirits) becomes as easy and natural as with incarnated people.(*6) And these Representatives of the Creator become personal Higher Teachers and guide Their disciples into Their common Abode — the Abode of the Creator.
      … Everyone can accept and apply to themselves the information presented in this article — as much as one can comprehend. But it will be even more useful — for the formation of the personal destiny and for contributing to the Process of the Evolution of the Universal Consciousness — to help other people in this task. Especially much can be done in this direction by those who are capable now of influencing the worldview of masses of people — for example, in the scale of whole countries.
      I wish you success!

The Third Eye and
the Sun of God

Vladimir Antonov

Translated from Russian
by Vladimir Antonov and Hiero Nany

 

        The ideas about the potential existence of the third eye, which can be opened with the help of special methods in order to gain clairvoyance, appeared most likely thanks to an ancient saying of Krishna recorded in the Bhagavad Gita [8,11]:
        8:9. He who knows everything about the Eternal Omnipresent Ruler of the world, the One subtler than the subtlest, the Foundation of everything, formless, shining like the Sun behind the darkness,
        8:10. He who at the moment of departure does not distract his mind and love, being in Yoga (In Mergence with Ishvara — with God-the-Father, the Creator, the Primordial Consciousness), who OPENS THE PASSAGE OF ENERGY BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS — such one attains the Highest Divine Spirit!
        8:11. This Path which men of knowledge call the Path to the Eternal, which spiritual warriors go through self-control and liberation from passions, which brahmacharyas walk — that Path I will describe to you in brief.
        8:12. Having closed all gates of the body (i.e. the organs of sense), locked the mind in the heart, directing the Atman to the Supreme, being established firmly in Yoga,
        8:13. chanting the mantra of Brahman AUM and being conscious about Me — anyone departing so from the body attains the Supreme Goal.
        Later on, many people striving to develop clairvoyance, but not understanding the essence of the Teachings of God, dedicated themselves to self-harming by concentrating in the point between the eyebrows… This resulted in activation of the chakra ajna — one of the most coarse chakras. And this, in turn, resulted in development of “sharp”, “piercing” unpleasant look in such persons and to coarsening of the entire consciousnesses… Moreover: the chakra ajna (by the way, its name is translated as “non-wise” or “foolish”, simply speaking) is the center of the human lower self! Therefore, concentration in it provokes accelerated growth of egocentrism — as opposed to the necessity of realization of God-centrism on the spiritual Path… Thus such people moved in the direction opposite from Perfection…
        But one has to walk to Perfection with the help of completely other methods! They imply development of oneself as a spiritual heart, as love! Krishna and all other Divine Teachers told us about this (see [8])!
        By the way, even from this short excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita we can see that one has to begin spiritual efforts not with concentration in the head chakra.
        Let us see what Krishna talks about in this excerpt:
        a) one has to cognize everything about Ishvara, Who is the subtlest form of consciousness of all existing in the universe;
        b) one has to learn to see Him in the form of a Divine Sun, in particular;
        c) one has to learn to live with the concentration of the consciousness in the Atman;
        d) one has to stay in Mergence with Ishvara;
        e) one has to learn to live with the mind functioning not in the head of the material body but in the developed spiritual heart (which begins its growth from within the purified and developed chakra anahata);
        f) one has to be free from subjection to earthly passions.
        Let me repeat that mere concentration of the unrefined and coarse consciousness in the chakra ajna leads to increase of the coarseness of the entire consciousness (soul) and to growth of egocentrism. The way to cognition of Ishvara consists in the opposite: it consists, first of all, in development of oneself as love and subtlety! Without development of these two qualities in oneself, one cannot cognize God and come to Mergence with Him! And one cannot achieve these qualities without zealous work on full purification and principal increase of the spiritual heart (more detail in [9 and others]).
        One has to work with the chakra ajna as well, but with the help of other methods: not by concentrating in it and not by trying to look through the point between the eyebrows.
        By the way, what is this point? It is the center of the “window” of the chakra ajna. This “window” includes the forehead, the eyes, and the region of the nose. Yes, this “window” has to be opened and cleansed — together with the chakra. (One has to do it also with all other chakras and their “windows”).
        How can one do it? The basic practical methods are described in book [9]. At the final stage, this work is performed with the use of the Fire of the Divine Sun (Sun of God).
        The Sun of God, according to Jesus Christ [19], is a visible (to the eyes of a soul developed as a spiritual heart) structure exceeding in size by thousands times the usual disk of the Sun that we see in the sky.
        The Sun of God appears in a place where any of the Greatest Divine Teachers, such as Krishna, Jesus, Sathya Sai Baba, Surya, Lada, Yamamata, Eagle, Adler, and Others (see [8]), comes out from the Abode of Ishvara into the world of the Creation.
        In order to purify the chakra ajna and its “window”, one has to learn to see the Sun of God, to enter It with the consciousness, to merge with It, to come with Its Fire to the material body, to enter the chakra anahata from behind, to rise through the middle meridian up to the chakra ajna — and then to emanate forward from it as a flow of the Divine Fire.
        How can one learn it? The only possibility is to follow the principal methodological steps described in book [9].
        What is the result of this work? In addition to full elimination of all defects in the body treated with this Fire, it ensures also full purity of thinking.
        Further treatment of the entire body with the Divine Fire can result in transfiguration of the energy composing the matter of the body and can provide one with the ability to control the matter of the body and the matter of other objects.

        So, does moving the Fire through the chakra ajna constitute “opening of the third eye”? No!
        The point is that the true third eye originally resides not in the chakra ajna but in another chakra — in the anahata!
        If one develops oneself as a spiritual heart, then such a soul gains an organ of vision capable of seeing in the subtlest spatial dimensions (lokas, eons). That is, such a spiritual seeker becomes capable of seeing the Holy Spirits (Who compose Brahman) and Ishvara in His Abode. In this case, God — in His different Manifestations — can be seen as clearly as we see material objects with the eyes of our material bodies!
        And then such a seeker can create the Divine Fire by coming out from the Abode of Ishvara and can try to burn away with this Fire everything in the body that looks denser than the Divine Fire. Then not only the consciousness (soul) becomes Divine but the body as well.
        This is, by the way, the Fire from Within that Juan Matus (Don Juan) described to Carlos Castaneda [22].
        And let me repeat that one has to begin with developing oneself as a spiritual heart, which is the organ of love that enables us to learn to truly love the Creation and then the Creator as well.
        Krishna told about this the following:
        11:54. … Only love can contemplate Me in My innermost Essence and merge with Me!
        13:10-11. Steadfast and pure love for Me… — this is acknowledged as true.
        12:14. … Seeking Unity with Me, resolutely cognizing the Atman, devoted the mind and consciousness to Me — such a loving Me disciple is dear to Me.
        12:20. … All… for whom I am the Supreme Goal — … are dear to Me above all!
        Well, it is such “third eyes” that we have to strive to gain! Isn’t it?

What Is Truth? 

 

Vladimir Antonov

Translated from Russian
by Vladimir Antonov and Hiero Nany

 

        This question implies a serious philosophical answer about the most important things in our existence: what is the essence of the Universe, what is the meaning of our lives on the Earth, and what is the best way to fulfill this meaning?
        The most laconic answer is the following:
        There is an ongoing Evolution in the Universal Organism of the Absolute. And every one of us should “blend” with this process most harmoniously.
        For this purpose we need:
        — To become sufficiently large, mobile, and strong consciousnesses (souls) — so as to gain the ability to move from one spatial dimension to another along the entire multidimensional scale, to cognize personally this multidimensional structure of the Absolute — from the boundary of hell — to the Abode of the Creator.
        — To learn to reside firmly in the highest spatial dimension: in the Abode of the Creator — in Mergence with Him.
        — To habituate ourselves to the state of Mergence, Coessentiality with the Creator, and then to develop the ability to be one with the entire Absolute.
        From these highest states one can participate in the Evolutionary Process most successfully, on the Highest Level of competence; in particular, one can help incarnate people in their spiritual development.
        After disincarnation, such Perfect Individualities become Holy Spirits. And if They incarnate again on Their own Will among people — They become Divine Messiahs, Avatars.
        However, even those, who have not achieved yet the highest stages of spiritual advancement, can find for themselves good work on the Earth — not only in personal development but also in service, which consists in participation in the Evolutionary Process.
        And let everyone think: how can I serve others, how can I be useful to them?
        Even the taking care of plants and animals, providing other people with food, clothing, dwelling, giving birth to children and upbringing them, etc. — all this is also necessary. There are many other possibilities as well. And let the main principle of making choices here be the following:
        To help everyone in everything good and to try to harm no one when possible: by deeds, words, and even by thoughts or emotions!

* * *

        And now let us talk about this in more detail. Even among religiously thinking people, it is hard to find those who understand the meaning of the word Absolute. And there are very few who know the mechanisms of correct growth of the consciousness, or how to move from one spatial dimension to another and about cognition of the Creator in His Abode!
        We discussed these questions many times in our books and films-lectures (see a list of the most important of them in the end of this book and on the site www.spiritual-art.info); here I am going to describe it briefly.
        So, what is God?
        This word means, first of all, the Creator (He is called also God-the-Father, Jehovah, Allah, Ishvara, Tao, Primordial Consciousness, Adibuddha, Svarog, and by other names in different languages). The Creator is not an old man sitting on a cloud, as He is depicted sometimes, but the infinite in size and time Ocean of the Subtlest Primordial Consciousness abiding in the highest spatial dimension.
        By the word God people call also the Representatives of the Creator coessential to Him — incarnate and non-incarnate. Such non-incarnate Representatives of the Creator are called the Holy Spirits; in the aggregate sense, They are called the Holy Spirit (that is, this term has a so-called collective meaning).
        It is important to understand that the Creator and His Creation compose One Multidimensional Universal Organism. This is the Absolute, that is Absolutely Everything.
        The Absolute exists in the constant, unceasing development, Evolution. It is for the sake of this process that the Creator creates islets of matter — planets where units of consciousness (individual souls) evolve through consecutive incarnations into material bodies of plants, animals, people. The ultimate goal of their development is to achieve (through human incarnations) the Perfection and Mergence with the Creator.
        From the above said it must be clear that man is not a body, contrary to what many people believe. Man is a soul, consciousness that is embodied only for a time into material bodies for the sake of going through the next stage of the development.
        Every one of us possesses freedom of will — our right to take decisions in many small or large life situations, which affects our further destinies. (That is we build our destinies ourselves. And the Holy Spirits — our Divine Tutors and Teachers — realize these destinies.) The process of destiny formation in dependence on ethically important decisions made by us — has to be studied by the branch of science called ethics. Ethics should be regarded as an integral part of ecology — the science about relationships of an organism with its environment. And the latter includes not only the world of material objects but also non-material forms of life with all non-incarnate beings and God.
        What has to be the goal of our aspirations and deeds on the Earth (apart from fulfilling the most basic needs of life of ours and of our closest companions)?
        It is clear that our bodies have to be healthy. For this purpose it is useful to have medical knowledge, in particular, to know hygienic rules; also from childhood one has to temper the organism, to develop strength, endurance. It is also important to adhere to the killing-free (vegetarian) diet: feeding on bodies of killed animals results in contamination of the organism with coarse bioenergies; it contradicts also the principle of LOVE given to us by God. (However, our killing-free diet has to be made rich with protein food: milk products, eggs, mushrooms, nuts, etc. More detail see in Ecopsychology).
        It is also very important to understand that one cannot achieve significant success on the spiritual Path without a developed intellect. People who have no developed intellect are not capable of comprehending what we discuss here! Even if they become believers, their religiosity — if they do not come from the beginning to a sound religious environment — is reduced to worshiping material objects (various idols, etc.), to mystical fear of warlocks, vampires, the end of the world; this leads to schizophrenia, to coarsening of the consciousness, and — as a result — to hell…
        … One can advance towards the Creator only through the refinement of the consciousness and development of love in oneself. Only developed love directed to the Creator can help one approach and merge with Him!
        Therefore it is very important to ensure that children receive good education and that, as they grow up, the process of their intellectual development does not stop! Let the task of choosing a profession and working place also help them in this!
        For every person it is useful to strive to comprehend more deeply the principles of righteous life on the Earth suggested to us by God. The main one of them is the principle of LOVE.
        One cannot achieve ethical perfection without working with the reflexogenic zones of the emotional-volitional sphere — the chakras and some main meridians.
        God is Love — He said these words for us. Yet it is wrong to understand this statement as “God will forgive all our sins”. No. This statement means that we can realize our aspiration to the Creator, aspiration to the Mergence with Him — only through striving to become similar to Him, striving to become LOVE!
        LOVE is an aggregate of corresponding emotional states. And it is desirable that every one of us habituate oneself to living in these states. As for coarse states of the consciousness, which program us to hell, — let them become so foreign to us that in no case we can enter them! Let me repeat that it becomes real for those who use the above mentioned system of training in psychical self-regulation [Ecopsychology]!
        … So, let the anahata become the main chakra for us! It is in this chakra, the most important part of human being — the spiritual heart — begins its growth. Let us learn to live in this chakra: to look, to listen, to perceive the outer world from it, to speak, to make decisions from this chakra!
        In this way gradually we become spiritual hearts — and then begin to grow outside the body. With time, in the process of this growth, we become spiritual hearts comparable in size to our planet and then even larger. The growing spiritual heart has to possess developed arms of the consciousness coessential to the spiritual heart. With the hands of these arms we can caress, stroke, heal…
        The consciousness developed in this way accepts the function of thinking — outside of the material body.
        Refusal of coarse emotional states and cultivation of the emotions of subtle tender love — together with the quantitative growth of oneself as a spiritual heart — this gives the ability to perceive (to see, to hear, to embrace) the Holy Spirits, Who become our real spiritual Teachers. Entering with the consciousness into Their giant Forms (Forms of Consciousnesses) allows one to begin mastering Mergence with Them. And then — They will lead Their deserving disciples into the Abode of the Creator.

* * *

        Of course, one cannot achieve this quickly, immediately: the highest spiritual stages can be mastered only if one dedicates the whole life to God — to developing oneself for the sake of merging with Him and serving Him.
        I understand also that some people can hardly believe that everything written here is real; it can happen to those who have not started yet serious work on perfecting themselves on the spiritual Path. However, by using the methods of self-development described in our books and demonstrated in our films one can make it real.
        Let me note also that the knowledge presented here is not new. The same was taught (though in other words) by Thoth-the-Atlantean, Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, Krishna, Lao Tse, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Babaji from Haidakhan, Sathya Sai Baba, and other Great Teachers. It has been always taught by God! In our works we present just an integration of this knowledge and a detailed description of how one can traverse the spiritual Path and come to the spiritual heights which were demonstrated many times by Messengers of the Creator.
        In conclusion let me stress again that the main direction of self-development on this Path is the development of the spiritual heart. All serious spiritual achievements are gained only through this!
        … This is, in brief, the description of full spiritual self-realization of man, the straight and shortest Path to the Creator. Let us go by this Path — and soon our lives will be filled with the joy of communication with God in blissful calm, without diseases and other calamities and suffering!
