God, Nature, and Man

God, Nature, and Man

ALTHOUGH TO THE MASTER "God is not an entity that is subject to proof", at his disciples' insistent requests, he kept defining Him in new and new ways. He sought to explain God in an understandable way for all levels of awareness. For the religious, he used religious language, for the scientist, scientific language, for the poet, poetic language, and for children, children's language.

The Master often interpreted Nature as the material expression of God. To him, it was the visible image of those forces who had created and who were sustaining Eternal Life. By studying its laws and by getting to know its forms, anyone could get to the meaning of life. The Master often interpreted the symbolic language of Nature. It was everywhere around in the visible world but one ought to have opened his spiritual senses to be able to perceive it. Learning from Nature was a motto the Master recommended strongly.

According to the Master, man is a microcosm in the macrocosm. All forces, both external and internal, are focused on him. Man as a transformer and conveyor of energy is the focal point of the entire universe. Man as a form-man as a spiritual presence and man as a potential deity - these were the issues Peter Dunov addressed on the eve of the 21st century.

God

God is the Eternal Creating Principle of Being Who engenders all forms. The Living God I am talking about abides in us and we abide in Him. He is the One Who works continually in the world, Who builds and mends it. God manifests as shadowless light, uninterrupted life, unchangeable love, faultless knowledge and unlimited freedom. He is the sublime Soul which follows, observes, and never excuses. He records everything and judges what is right. Even when a saint errs, He notes it. God marks justly and chronologically your every deed, your every mistake, and thus determines your future life. There is no being with a mind more alert, a heart more sympathetic, and a will more powerful, to which nothing is impossible. There is no nobler, holier, purer, wiser and more powerful being than God. He is everywhere. He is in the sky, in all the suns, and on earth, in everything: in the air, in the water, in the rocks, in the plants, in the beasts and in the humans. There is nothing in the world in which God is not. Everything inside and outside us, everything that surrounds us, is a background behind which is God, the greatest artist. He is hidden because he has decided to accord us free will.

Today, the notion of God needs to be considered in a new light. The idea people now have of Him is wrong. We believe that God is the great reality in the world, the thing man cannot do without. The life which pulsates in us, that is God. The reason for us, that is God.

Nature

The living Nature in its entirety is a manifestation of intelligent forces, of noetic beings of different ranks who dwell in perfect harmony and unity. We call noetic, living nature the part which is manifested. What has not yet manifested we call the soul of Being? The noetic, the eternal, the sacred, the non-manifested - that is God, the Primordial Principle of life. It is connected with the visible, which is why some refer to Nature as the body of God. This is just a metaphor; Nature is the manifested and God is the invisible, the boundless, the eternally manifesting and never fully manifested. We regard Nature as something magnificent, not only because of its organization but because of the intellect, the supreme reason for it. Through the visible Nature, God made His plan perceivable by us. God thought long and then manifested in visible forms. The entire universe is the result of Divine Thought. It is expressed in a variety of shapes, constituting "the living language of Being", or the living language of things. This is one of the most euphonious languages. It is a written language, but it is not written in books, for the books of nature are alive. The language of nature is the language of God.

Man

Man is a powerful accumulator of cosmic energies. The brain, the lungs, the heart and the stomach are the main power receivers through which man absorbs these cosmic energies. The hands and the fingers are conduits of cosmic energies. If you place your hands on your head, chest or stomach, you can receive through them the respective energies and transmit them to another person. Every man is a conductor of Divine Energy.

Man is at the same time a dynamo which, at different times, generates different energies. You see the stars as distant gleaming spots in the sky. However, every star of the Milky Way or any other galaxy has its respective receiver in the human brain. Thus, man is able to converse with the entire space. He is part of a magnificent organism, of a purposeful system, and is subject to the laws which govern the processes and the phenomena in that system. He is free inasmuch as he acts in harmony with these laws. Man is a small universe. The functioning of energies in man follows the pattern of their functioning in the universe. Man, as he is, presents a problem that requires a solution. I regard man not only as a personality but as a complex manifestation as well. As such, he is an embodiment of cosmic Wisdom, which is the thing you love about yourself and which guides you through life. The human organism is nature's model of a perfect system the imperfections in whose functioning are only due to the disruptions caused by man himself.
