Relations Between the Sun and the Earth In nature there is one heart, one mind is on the Sun, the universe has a soul and eternity is one Spirit. Over all this is a God who is unknown. He manifests Himself through them. How will you understand the words that nature has a heart? You are born, that’s it. Nature has created you. Nature created a pot, it sees that the pot is good for nothing, smashes it and creates a new one, it is not nice, still smashes it. Nature is not but a builder, it models. Whatever it does not like - smashes it. Those who do not understand, say: "What, no heart!" Anyway, in its heart nature wants to create something nice. Now you say: "Why has it created us?" So people are trampled by the Earth, the Sun shapes them. And the rational in the world it is the universe. The universe, it is public laws in which you have to live under. All mankind is an entire universe of souls. There is even a Spirit; it is nevertheless the power that shows what is being created. Eternity has a Spirit. Earth is a home, where we live and we need to understand its laws. We have yet to learn them, in order to comply with them. And it has its own laws. By not obeying to these laws, we suffer. As we learn the laws of the Earth, we must learn the laws and the Sun. The man who has studied the laws of the Earth, who has studied the laws of the Sun, he can explore and the laws of nature. For me it is so. I while studying things, I study them from the standpoint of the Earth, I study them from the point of view of the Sun and from the standpoint of the Earth and the Sun and those rational forces acting everywhere per these laws. Under current conditions, in the current development of the Earth, the Earth has its consciousness. Therefore, it is attracted by the Sun, but it is also repelled. Some planets attract it, others repel it. According to its degree of consciousness, it can be neither farther, nor closer to the Sun. But its consciousness determines the distance to the Sun. We can say that the Earth is beloved of the Sun rather than Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. The Earth has a higher consciousness than them. Venus has a higher consciousness than the Earth, and Mercury has an even higher consciousness. Modern astronomers do not deal with this matter like that. They say that Venus accepts more light and heat, and the Earth less. It is still the same. The rich man, the smart man has more wealth he can use. Suppose an object moves along a surface. If you put on the body resistance, where will it start to move? If you make the environment denser this body will begin to climb, if the environment becomes rarer, then the movement will turn down. And then I ask: How does light come from the Sun? Regarding the Earth it comes from above. And regarding the Sun? What should we mean by the words "up" and "down"? So the light coming out from the Sun comes down to the Earth. So, the Earth is down. Therefore, we will have a greater speed. So what is to be understood? So in this case the Sun sends more energy, which is necessary to the Earth. If you look at those rational creatures that send their energy from the Sun to see what presents their rationality; what presents their progress. Can you tell how they are sending away solar energy from a distance of 92 sibometla [million miles] to the Earth and heat it in this way? You say: "Are these rational creatures that send this energy of the Sun to heat the Earth?" There is a scientific theory that the Earth presents a fiery molten body - possibly it is so, but it is possible and otherwise to happen the heating of the Earth. On the Sun specific transformers that are tailored just for the Earth because the Earth has a musical tone and colour. In the centre of the Earth are living rational creatures of a different nature and they have their own transformers. When this energy reaches the Earth's centre, it is immediately transformed and appears as light. If the Sun has had no transformers we could not endure his energy. Transformers of the sun rays are the air and the moisture in the atmosphere; otherwise the sunlight and heat that come to the Earth would burn everything on it. The light that comes from the Sun should pass through a line of transformers and when it reaches the Earth, it descends to the bottom of the Earth, where it still goes through a line of processes it is reformed. Therefore, the light coming from the Sun cannot reach the Earth and is not the same as the one that comes straight from the Sun. Then, when the light passes through the brain also undergoes a line of transformations, a line of processes. And there's a line of transformers that alter the light. What you see outside it is a world that you have created in yourselves. When they come to the real world, then the people will see what is the difference between what they have created in themselves and what exists outside them. When the Sun shines on the black impure Earth, it gradually converts and out of it come fresh fruits with sweet, tasty juices. Solar energy descends on the Earth as a vast stream encircles it from the North Pole to the South Pole and returns again to the Sun. Some scholars argue that it is this energy that moves the Earth around its axis. This energy is transmitted through the plant life-giving plasma. When plants feel that this potential energy begins to manifest and comes to the Earth, they bud, they prepare, but as it strengthens, they put forth leaves and finally they blossom and tie while trying to gather all this energy to make fruits. The Sun constitutes a source of energy for all the living solar system. With respect to the Earth the energy of the Sun is positive. It develops in a positive and negative electricity, and positive and negative magnetism. The Earth energy with respect to the Sun is negative. From the touching of these two energies is produced life on the Earth. This intermediary that connects and transforms these two energies is called ether by the scientists. It permeates all the space and the Earth. Occultists call it life-giving plasma; mystics call it spirit. In the book of Genesis it is said: "Initially God has created Heaven and Earth. And the Earth has been unarranged and void, and darkness has been over the abyss, and the Spirit of God been floating on the water.” There is an important law: the more negative the Earth is, the greater its power of positive solar energy is, and vice versa, as the Earth is more positive, the less its capacity of perception is. From midnight to noon the Earth is negative (actually a place) and absorbs more, and from noon to midnight it is positive and it gives more. From midnight the Earth starts to radiate in the space the negative energy, on its place takes from the Sun positive energy. The Earth at sunset is the most positive and gives most. After lunch it starts to radiate into space positive energy and when it releases sufficient quantity it becomes negative. In the morning, at sunrise, the Earth is the most negative, i.e. it accepts the most. The Earth as spinning, as turning around the Sun, in summer time is further and the rays fall more vertically, we have more light. In wintertime the Sun is approaching, but the rays fall obliquely, light is reduced. The energies that the Earth accepts from the Sun are significantly transformed. As they penetrate the Earth's crust, the latter absorb from them all the nutrients and remains just what can not be used. Thus transformed, these energies are not useful for development and therefore are sent from the Earth into space and from there on less known roads they return again to the Sun. The Sun, in its turn, forwards them to the Central Sun for further processing to obtain their initial rhythm. The Sun has more than 10 magnetic zones that surround the Earth, cross it in different directions. Over the centuries these various zones acted on people as selfish culture has been created - the current culture of power. Other bands coming from the Sun, they now prepare conditions for a softer culture – the culture of Love. If you do not put yourself under the beneficial influence of these rays, in these zones, there is nothing you can do. If your mind is well developed in the brain through a prism you will decompose the sun rays, you'll get new bands of light. Today the Sun is not as it has been a thousand years ago. Mystics have known this and have expressed it in the following thoughts: "Love God," "Be Good", "Love the Truth." Someone says: "Tomorrow the Earth could be destroyed." Under the current conditions, the Earth can not be destroyed. Because the Earth is linked to the Sun magnetically and between them there is such hot love that the Sun is every day orbiting it. I'm talking about the Sun from the standpoint of a higher science. From this point of view the Sun is not only rough matter. From this point of view the Earth has a soul that lives and to which the material Earth presents the body. And in the Sun lives a great spirit. The exterior of the Sun is what we see. The Spirit, it is the rational home in the Sun. He is who sends everything to the Earth. I'll take just the word "rational" man. How does rational man differ? Rational man differs in that he always walks upright. He is not hooked, not curved like the old man. The mind of the rational man is connected to the Sun, and his feet are connected to the Earth. He lives between the Sun and the Earth. Therefore, the rational man is connected to two centres. Whatever the Sun teaches man from above, whatever orders it gives to him, he performs it on the Earth. For rational man the Earth is a vast laboratory. The Earth is the mother who has taken man firmly by the legs, the Sun represents the father, who has taken him firmly on the head. Today, only the hands of man are free and he moves them left and right, looking for a way to get rid of his mother and father. They give you a topic to develop: "What are the reasons that create water currents which cause the water to move?" This, what is happening in the ocean, what is happening on land it happens in man. There are common laws. We believe that the laws that govern our bodies are not common with those on the Earth. Besides those laws that drive the Earth, at the same time are moving and man and the Sun. Let's say our Earth has two movements: one around it, around its axis and another one around the Sun. I am asking: if the Earth does not move around itself, if it does not move around the Sun, what would it be? The movement of the Earth around the Sun, it is the idea of God. Rational human life moves around a large centre. The movement of the Earth around itself means private life of man. This turning has practical application. Because if the Earth is not moving, one side would be lit, there would be favourable conditions, the other would not be lit. In this uniform movement of the Earth all its parts have the same privilege. Sometimes you ask the question: why should the Earth move around the Sun? Which is better - movement or stagnation? Movement! Direction of movement in nature should be. New ideas come into the world to give a right direction to those energies which are incorporated, to come in accordance with the great laws of nature. Only in this way can be raised and society, and the people and humanity. If man moves through space like a comet no idea, nothing can be expected from him; always there will be a cataclysm. There, where the world has no common centre disasters occur frequently, where there is a common centre the cataclysms are an exception. All the troubles in life come from certain fluctuations. Because we are free creatures, we want sometimes to modify our life. In this movement if it alters its centre, by which it should move any undesirable change will happen. Under the word "Moon", under the word "Sun" in ancient times have understood ideas. Everyone has had a Moon. The Moon is necessary for the evening, during the day the Moon is not necessary. During the evenings, when there is nothing to do, you can shine on the Moon. What about you, when you count on the people, you are shining in the moonlight. The stars in the sky symbolise people. The Sun and the Moon represent the two systems that people serve with. The Sun represents the learned people and the Moon - the religious. It is said in the Scripture that the Sun and the Moon will be darkened. This implies that religion and science shall come down from the position in which they are located. New life, new roads, new conditions are coming into the world. You miss something. God has come, saying: "What I have for you!" You ask. Now I can give you the stars, the Moon. Say on which train would you move? If I give you the Moon on which train would you go there? You will say: "This is easily given." There is a way in which can be given the Moon: if you can take down the Moon, you will milk it, the milk you can give away. So that you can take down the Moon, you need to be pious and religious, to be opened your spirit, to all to help then you can take down the Moon.

Essence Some want to say that we care about our Earth so much, as much as it can feed us. But the Earth is a book, a Bible, a storehouse of knowledge. It holds many things. Approximately it has a life of 2,000,000,000 years and a half. Whatever it has seen, it is written. We think that it is a stupid land, that it has no knowledge, that it is irrational. The Earth is much more rational than the people. When we talk about the Earth, that it is wiser we do not mean matter of the Earth, when we talk about man we do not mean the body, it is a tool. There is a spirit that lives on the Earth. People do not think, they say that the Earth is not alive, but dead matter, a ball that spins. It is a delusion. No ball is the Earth! The Earth is a living egg, a large egg, from which everything is hatched, an egg, which contains all the eggs in itself, an egg that has all the possibilities. The Earth is a live, great body, in which lives a sublime soul with consciousness, such as man has as well. The word "Earth" is from Greek origin - "zeo". This word means life. The Earth has been created by matter. Zeo, land, means that what gives birth. The Earth has created life by itself; it gives birth to the people. Two more Earths there are. You see one microscopic part of the physical Earth only, while for the other Earths you have sometimes such internal insights. The Earth what a thing it is in mental aspect, or what thing is the Earth in spiritual aspect? It is huge; great is the Earth in spiritual aspect. When Christ has ascended, where has He gone? He has gone up to the spiritual Earth to live. He has been below, on the physical plane, out of the physical plane has come and has gone above the clouds. And the Scripture says that one day we will see Him in the same way, He will come in the same way. Not in the same way He will come to the Earth, but "the same way" means in your consciousness, because those who have sent Him, have had this cosmic consciousness to see that He has ascended. Even the Scripture says: who have seen have doubted this work and have suspected. In the past the Earth has been small like an apple, but gradually it has grown, it has become a big girl, as we see it today, and has fallen in love with the Sun. It is now a marriageable girl. Today we make great preparations for the wedding. So, these preparations are due to many crashes, the perturbations that happen on the Earth. The Earth still growing, it is at a young age. After millions of years the opposite process will come - of downsizing. The poles of the Earth are moving. In the future, the pole will become equator and the equator - pole. There has been a time when the equator has been a pole and the pole has been equator. In the past history the poles have been changing. Bulgaria has been a tropical country and in the future it will become such again. Occultists know that once the Sun has been rising from the west. This shows what a great transformation has happened. Then the Earth's axis has not been in the present situation. There a change will come in the distribution of land and sea. The sea will invade some countries as this has happened even earlier. We are exactly on the deck of the steamer Earth because above us there are yet other creatures. Up to 12,000 km from the Earth, there is a transparent land. To go to it and to enter into it should pass through 12 gates. There live advanced creatures; this world is the heaven of the above Earth. In the fall the first people have descended below to the present Earth. There is a spiritual land, there are and Divine Lands. Three lands there are. You are now living on the Earth, which is for the people. There is a land of the angels; they are also humans, because all the angels of people have become angels. There is a land where the gods live. We are still in the hall of the Earth. The Earth is much larger than we know it. Now they measure the Earth and say that it is 12,000 kilometres in diameter. This is the perception of the humans. If animals could have measured the Earth, they would have a completely different view of it. This is up to the consciousness. People have come to mind up to 12,000 km, but the Earth is much greater. You, by entering into that world, you will see that the Earth has not been changed to its similarity. The diameter of Earth is not 12,000 km, it is larger. What more physical changes have you to do in the matter, which works in you? We have not yet made these changes on the Earth. The Earth is slightly more spacious than we perceive it. None of you can grasp it as it is. You have no clear idea about it. Where is he adept, who can see the whole earth, America and Europe, Asia and Africa at the same time? What should be your consciousness to see all this? If you can see all the mountains on the Earth, it is that world. When you enter into that world, you will see another land; this land will disappear and will remain a different, greater land. We register only the fact, what is the magnitude of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, etc. Whoever who does not understand astronomy will have some conclusions, and who understands astronomy will have somewhat different conclusions. Someone who does not understand the structure of the universe, will know that the mass of a planet, its diameter if its poles are flattened or not, all that exerts influence on the development of the creatures that live on these very planets. As the Earth is arranged, there could nowhere be such bodies as on the Earth itself, because such a distance from the Sun to the Earth, there is nowhere else. It is about 150 million kilometres. What is the diameter of the Earth according to the latest scientific data? I think it is 12,000 km. If you take the diameter of Venus, it is almost like that of the Earth, there is not a big difference. It is assumed that the mass of Venus is completely different, it has a different culture. The creatures that live there are built quite differently from those on the Earth. And on Mercury is like that. And Mars has inhabitants that are arranged quite differently from those on the Earth. Those who have built the universe have a common grand plan. Their minds and their thoughts, of time and space are radically different from our thoughts and perceptions of time and space. From their point of view, our thoughts are quite childish, they look very funny. For example, what notion can have one microbe for eternity? According to its ideas the notion for eternity will be trillions or quadrillions of kilometres away from ours. Tell me, how long will it take to a man to walk a distance of one quadrillion kilometres? There are creatures whose consciousness is so great that they cover the Earth. For them, the Earth represents something like a small ball, which they see from everywhere. They seemed to have millions of eyes and cover the Earth in their consciousness as a small ball. The people that have only two eyes hardly see a pinhole of the Earth and say: "This is our Earth." I say: what you see at all is not your Earth. You should know that what you see is only the skin, the surface of the Earth. Life is on the skin, on the surface of the Earth. The Earth also has a backbone, has muscles, and a stomach, therefore it wants to eat, as all living beings do. Can you imagine the Earth when it sits down to eat, what quantity of food it needs for lunch only? You can imagine, as it is served at noon, how many lambs and how many cattle it will need! Of all the cattle on the Earth it can not be given to it a lunch only. I ask then: when feeding the Earth where from does it take its cattle? Or you say that the Earth is not eating. That's your opinion, but if you ask whether the Earth feeds, it will respond. As it is possible to weigh the Earth on scales it is as possible to solve the question who has created the world. How heavy is the Earth, how much energy is defined for it, this is data calculated with absolute precision, but not by the people but by those who have created it. In nature, everything is strictly defined. Two Americans have undertaken to weigh the Earth, because according to them, in the original number that has been given for the Earth, there has been a small mistake. According to the calculations of the scientists, the Earth weighs 6,000 trillions tons or 6 quadrillions kilograms. Imagine that the Earth has to be transported from one place to another. How long will it be transferred? From the calculations that are made, it is found that it can be transferred after 4000 million years. Moreover, if the transfer of materials from which the Earth has been made, harness all the trains in the world and each train is composed of 100 carriages that run continuously for 100 years, they would hardly transfer the Earth from one place to another. This indicates that the Earth is heavy, large; it is not possible to be moved. From here you can see what have been those creatures who have taken part in the creation of the Earth. They have had a mind, have had thought, have had a strong will and spirit. These rational, ingenious creatures have worked under the guidance of God. We call them angels, archangels and all they together constitute the cosmic man. The present scientists have made a lot of attempts to measure the weight of the Earth. They have weighed the Earth and the Moon they have weighed as well. To have an idea of the weight of the Earth, take the number 6 and 21 zeros after it. To have an idea of the weight of the Moon, take the number 74 and 18 zeros after it. How they measured the weight of the Earth and the Moon, it is not known, but the fact is that the scientists have these data. A lot of calculations are required to get a man to the true state of things. Many learned people can hardly accomplish this task. It is not an easy matter to determine the weight of the Earth and the Moon. However it has been calculated the weight has to be approximate. I give you these details as the scientists have passed them to the world. If we have scales, on which we can put the Earth, only then we can whether this number is true or not true. Imagine that you want to weigh all the planets in the solar system - which scales should you have? Knowing the weight of the Earth you have to put on one side of the balance the Earth, and the other - the Sun and thus you will balance them. For a scholar this is not a very difficult job. Years ago a scholar has calculated how much matter there is in the universe. The weight of the universe is calculated finally to 9 with 90 zeros. Who does not believe me, let him check it himself. Those who has calculated this thing, he has found himself in a difficult position. This is a hard work, but sometimes man is dealing with great work. Our Earth as it is set in the space, it has almost no weight. It has weight only to the Sun. And when we say that it is so and so heavy, that shows with what power it is attracted by the Sun. Mathematicians show only the pull of the Sun. Do not think that this Earth is heavy, no, it is very light. The Earth is very heavy, it is in terms of its power lines, but just as it floats in space, it is very light and even a child can carry it. There is a great power in the void that is so powerful that holds the Earth and all the other worlds. In space there is a reasonable struggle of forces that want to push their theory. There are certain creatures who want to divert the Earth from its orbit, and this is the very thing. Sometimes the Earth is a little late or a little quicker. In this case, as the Earth is farther from the Divine Wisdom, from God's harmony, as these deviations are greater, and as close it is to God's Wisdom, so these deviations are smaller. Have you ever heard the rhythm of the Earth? When it rotates, it sings. Do you know how the Earth is singing? It has so many children on its shell, creating headaches to it, digging its skin, but it does not pay any attention to these children. When it looks at the Sun, it sings. Have you heard its voice? Evangelists say about the Earth: "This lamentable idol." The Earth sings and as it sings - everything goes, as it sings - everything grows, the Sun rises and sets, the winds are blowing from the singing of the Earth. The Earth is extracting heat from the ether. Because every particle, every atom, every molecule takes heat from the ether in this movement inside, then this heat is transmitted, collected together to form the heat of the entire Earth. The Earth continuously draws from the space not only from the Sun, but there is certain heat outside. At the same time the Earth has its own heat, which is produced by its own particles, moving in the ether. What are the Sun and the Earth? The Sun is a rational centre, but the Earth as well is something rational, because not only on the surface but also inside it, live rational creatures, the task of which is to maintain the fire at a depth of about one thousand kilometres into the Earth. The rational in the world has created the world. That rational is what determines the weight of the Earth that determines its path. The Earth is so complex organism that our scientists are people who are students of the learned people, who believe that the Earth below is molten matter. It is partly true, partly it is not true. Some of you who are scholars say that the centre of the Earth is made of matter in the gaseous state, but the gases are solidified. Very high temperature is there. If there is temperature, they would become steam, but at this great temperature there is high pressure. Imagine: in the centre of the Earth - 6000 km is the Earth's radius - there is 6000 km pressure there. There are some microbes, that when are removed from two to three thousand meters below the water, above on the surface, they explode. Your have not penetrated into the secrets of the Earth. Have you gone to the centre of the Earth? Who learned man has descended to the centre of the Earth? What secrets are hidden inside! You think that in the centre of the Earth there is fire. There could not be fire. There can not be melted stuff there. There the pressure is so great that in the centre of the Earth the matter is harder than the hardest steel. Everyone thinks that the centre of the Earth is molten. But the centre of the Earth is harder than the hardness of our rocks. Well, there is so much pressure in there! At such pressure could there be a liquid? Harder than a stone it is. The Centre of the Earth is harder than a diamond. Substances that are there are harder than a diamond. Nature at all is not what and how it is described, or our views on it are scientifically correct. There are things that are true, but there are things that are not true. This does not mean that anything is wrong. For example, some scientists say that in the Earth inside there is fire. Most recent scholars, however, say that the interior of the Earth is solid. In the centre the Earth is tougher than at its periphery. How do you know that, even though they say that down the Earth has a very high temperature? Hardness and temperature are two incompatible things, because we know that at high temperatures things can not be solid. This is a philosophical, mathematical question that requires a lot of evidence. Each soul that completes its development on the Earth must pass through the centre of the Earth. Having completed its development and having taken a diploma that it has completed all science; then it will go from the surface of the Earth, it will descend to the centre and it will go out at the other side of the diameter and will pass. On this diameter it will come out and go to its homeland. So one day you will pass, but you must be very learned people. As you get off you will see that the Earth has untold riches. Now to enter the Earth man will be blind, deaf, feeling nothing. It will be senseless. It is as if traveling at night through a beautiful place and seeing nothing. Who is familiar with love, will enter into the centre of the Earth. The one who studies Love will come out of the centre of the Earth, will come to the surface. Once he gets out of the centre of the Earth to the surface, then Love he has learned. I say: anyone who has not descended to the centre of the Earth and has not come out that he does not understand this Love. These are hard works. He says: "I learned this descending to the centre of the Earth!" When you enter there, in the Earth you will see precious stones. They are down in the centre of the Earth. Everything is hidden there. When you get down, you will find all the resources, you will find what you are looking for. As you go out of the centre of the Earth, you will bring out what you need. Because you are poor, you have not entered in the centre of the Earth. Everyone should come into great wealth. Earth holds great riches. This is called small mysteries, little secret carries the Earth. The Sun brings great secrets. There is a love greater than that of the Earth - it is the love of the Sun. We need to learn the love of the Earth; then we will learn the love of the Sun. Love we will learn in its many forms. You will learn the love of the Moon, of Mercury, of Venus, of Mars; you will study the love of Jupiter, of Saturn. The matter of the Earth has lost its initial purity and ethereality it has once had. It has been thousands of times lighter than hydrogen. Compared to the initial matter the hydrogen is very thick, like mash. Space through which our Earth passes is filled with remnants of destroyed worlds, with psychic sludge, left millions of years ago. In space there are ways in which all the rubbish will be thrown out as you throw away the remains of your homes. We go into an area of the universe, where as the Earth passes through space, it has been shot many times. These meteors that fall, if these projectiles would hit the Earth, nothing would be left of it. To get rid of these projectiles that are continuously thrown into space, nature has put on the Earth in the air, a more dense matter and then when passing these projectiles, they are burning. If the Earth has been without air, without atmosphere, these projectiles would cause it harm. The atmosphere is like a garment that protects the Earth from those small projectiles that are constantly traveling through space. If you are not wearing one thought to have something to wrap you; if your mind has not an atmosphere; if your heart has no atmosphere; and if your soul has no atmosphere - you are at a great risk. We are moving away from the known solar systems and approach the other. During the ice age the entire solar system has passed through a black sun that has consumed much of its energies. It has been time when the Earth has looked like a paradise, because the vegetation has been so rich, thousands and millions of berries there have been and the people have been feeding with fruits only, but an ice age has come, due to known physical reasons. Then this fertility of the Earth has been reduced and consequently the people have started eating meat, to exterminate not only animals but each other as well, to eat one another. The Earth millions of years ago has passed by a black, extinguished sun. And since it has passed and it still can not get rid of this influence. All misfortunes are due to this. Not only the Earth has been extinguished, and our Sun has also been extinguished. Where Moses says: God has created the Heaven and the Earth, He has come to free the Sun, to free the Earth from the influence of this black sun. I can explain why, but who would believe it? There has been a time when people, plants and animals have had a higher level of development than today. The Earth has undergone major catastrophe and from its rings the present planets have been formed. The Earth is wrapped with 12 rings or areas of particular kinds of solar power transformers - each ring refracts the light in a specific way. This indicates that these 12 rings are not in the same position. However, each ring is made of special matter very thin through which penetrate relevant to it forces. These forces are connected with sublime worlds, working on both people and all living beings. A sensitive man perceives these influences on himself. There is an American scientist who says that the Earth has not been spherical. These are only theoretical evidences. He is somewhat right, somewhat wrong. To check these works, contemporary scientists should come out at 100,000, 500,000 km minimum outside the diameter of the Earth. The diameter of Earth is 12,000 km. World interests us so, as our consciousness is awakened. You seem to have knowledge of the Earth. It is composed of countless billions of particles, each particle is free. Each of these particles moves independently; it has its path and the Earth represents an organism of bodies, of particles. It is a whole universe and this universe we call "the Earth". Everything incomprehensible is funny, anything comprehensible is surprising. That, what man does not understand, he is laughing at it. What he understands, it surprises him. As it is difficult to understand small objects, it is as difficult to understand the grater. For instance, the present scholars represent a sun which is 10 million in diameter. Imagine such a sun. Our sun is 800,000 kilometres. And there are suns that have a diameter of 100 million kilometres. How then can you imagine such a huge body? This is a projection of the Divine world. The Earth for the Divine Consciousness is as it is for us to replace a bubble. Imagine if on the bladder live microbes and they have consciousness, how are you going to explain this? Imagine that these microbes can measure the Earth which is not round. If I inflate the Earth and then their scholars will say that it has changed. And then I empty back the bladder from the air, then back I inflate it. What conclusion would these philosophers create? I have a way of reasoning when thinking about the small world. In my opinion the real world is the least. What can not become less than it is real. This, which can be increased or decreased, it is not real, it is the illusion of being Moreover, what can not become less, it is real. Therefore, our Earth you can collect it in the least. What will be the smallest, where would it go? In my eyes the Earth is one big bubble, it is not so dense. Whatever they say that the Earth is tough, it is not to me to talk, to someone else they can talk. It is a big bubble and it is not so thick, and it's full of air. If you press it, it will become smaller than a millet grain. The Earth you may press it in a wheat grain. How big is the Earth? Anyone can carry it, can sow it in the field, and it will grow. And the wheat grain may become as big as the Earth. You will see, that one day you will visit the Earth and it will not be as it is now. I can tell you when: after 365,000 years from now the Earth will have another appearance. After this time it will burn. On the surface, whatever there is on the Earth, it will burn and all the people will melt. Will be created the new man and then this Earth will be new, the people will live and when you come then the rivers will be crystal. Nowhere there will be muddy rivers. The whole Earth will be in gardens, fruit trees. Very few animals and fish will play. In front of each house there will be a garden, there will be nice music and then the people will not travel on airplanes, but they will be floating in the air. You want to fly, you will fly, you want to come down - you will come down. You turn the key and you immediately go out. Anything you want, you will have it. After 365,000 years you will have it. Our time, our perilous times! 365,000 years, this is an abnormal year. If you are living this way 1000 years, it would be as if you have lived one day. 365,000 days will then be like one year. Equal to 365 days it will be. Now what would you say: “To believe it, or not to believe it?” Believe it! Poor you if you do not believe it. Believe it, because it will be like that. It will be even more than I tell you. Our scientists have suggested that our planet Earth would live for another 1 million and 700,000 years, so many years of life it will have. So great prophets they are! After 1 million and 700,000 years the Earth will be transformed, it will not be in this state. It will not disappear, but its matter will be a little reconstructed. This is understood. Some say that after 1 million and 700,000 years there would be no life on the Earth. I do not want to argue now. On the Earth there will be life. But in other worlds such as the Moon that is at rest, there is no life. All the people who have completed their development on the Earth go to the Moon to make their observations. The Moon has such observatories as on the Earth in thousands of years there cannot be. Every person waking up in the morning should do something. Should thank God that he has been sent to the world. As you get up, thank God to have sent you to the Earth, one ticket he has given to you for free. You have come to this world. You know what great ball the Earth is? At what speed the Earth travels? One ticket He has given you for free to travel to the Earth. You sit back and you are unhappy. You do not know why you are unhappy. You have boarded a ship and you travel for free. Then you say: "I do not want to go again!" Because the sea has been stormy, cloudy, you have not spent well. So sometimes and the spiritual space is rough. While traveling through the ether, the sea is rough. Sometimes when you are sick, the sea is rough. Tomorrow, you wake up and you are happy, the sea is calm. These are external conditions through which the Earth passes. They are transferred out. If you are unhappy, the sea is rough, if you are happy - the sea is calm. We are carried by quite a big steamer, which in the past has had several thousand chimneys. Now there are 100, some of them are numbering 50 to 60, some - 150 chimneys. These volcanoes the Earth are chimneys, smoke comes out, it is seen that the steamboat travels. We are carried somewhere in space, somewhere we go, we are carried to some distant port to go out. Sometimes this road is dangerous. For instance, millions of years ago the Earth has passed through a dusty desert space in which while passing the Earth has been formed ice age on the Earth. This dust has prevented the rays of the Sun; the Earth has taken very little radiation and has been formed the ice age. Out of this ice age we are going out. In the future, there is fear that we will get through this cosmic dust and again will come an ice age on the Earth. There is another danger now. We will go through one area where our Earth is in danger of fire. When it will be on fire, whatever is on the Earth will burn. This we will find in the Epistle of the Apostle Peter. We now philosophise and make a mistake by thinking that there are no higher than man beings. The humans on the Earth are not the highest representatives of the human race. We are the last representatives of the human race. The most wrong of the types in the solar system are sent to Earth for reformation. Sinners of the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus - are sent to an exile here. You have come from different systems – not that you are the worst, but you have not been very advanced there. Some say: "To get rid of the wicked world, to go up, to be happy." You have for the Earth a very bad idea. Is the Earth a man or a woman? What do you think? (It is a "Woman.") And it is the noblest woman there in the solar system. All who go to it - go to learn. It is the most noble and suffering woman. To it come all who are incorrigible in the other systems, to educate them. It from morning till night is thinking how to educate them. All the children who come to her are unhappy and contentious. They have their own beliefs. They tell her: "You must make us happy! Why have we come here? "And she can not quarrel. It does not quarrel, it promises to all. And they say to it, "How do you like to take care of us, entertain us!" Some call her "mother." Mother is just that - these things are to her, she gave them birth. Now I tell you a thought that is true in its nature. All of you who have come to the Earth should have one of its qualities: to be patient as the Earth, not for long patient. Whatever they take from her, she suffers, but says nothing. To some extent we study the nature of the Earth. She is very unhappy. You want now on the unhappy Earth to be happy. This is impossible! It's like you go to a poor man who has nothing and you want him to feast you with a pastry with butter, etc. And why not ask him to kill you a chicken. We have been sent to the Earth to be happy. It is a secondary question. And the only thing that man has been sent to the Earth is to study. You should study. You should study the laws on everything that happens in you. You should start from yourself, from your inside. When you start from your inner life, then the outside manifestations of life will become much clearer to you. It is a complicated mechanism, i is a complicated world. It is not that easy. And all rejoice that you have a great credit, I believe that on the Earth there is no greater good than this for you, wherever you are. On the Sun you cannot live, on the Moon you can not live, on Venus you can not, you can not live on Jupiter, on Saturn you can not, on Neptune, on Uranus you can not live. On the Earth, however you can. As they have been looking for a place for you, those who love you have just found the only possible place for you. Having found an empty space, having cruised long they have finally brought you here. We are sent on the Earth not for a visit, but to work. But the Earth endures its guests for three days. All modern miseries result from the fact that we want to be guests of the Earth. So if you ask me what the misery in the world comes from, I will tell you that it comes from your desire to be only the guests here on the Earth. The Earth is a place for one of the most important works. For every creature, no matter how small it might be, there is mathematically specified place and work it must to do. And today the world's highest living creatures live on the back of the lower. Who has come to the Earth should work. The Earth occupies an important place in the solar system. Many sublime creatures strive to come to the Earth to follow the Earth University. Renowned is this university. It is renowned even to the other planets. Whoever wants to learn the law and order descends to the Earth to follow the Earth University. We consider the Earth as an inner school. And not after long time this Earth will change. It has repeatedly amended, yet comes another change. They say that in time our planet Earth will shift from its orbit, there shall be a great darkness, and all the people in darkness will be. The entire Earth presents opportunities for man to study. Who does not know this thinks that the Earth is a place for torture. There are some narrow-minded religious people who call the Earth "yudol." Not so, the Earth is not a place of torture, but for teaching. For those who understand the Earth is an excellent school. According to its place in the solar system, the Earth occupies the bottom position. Not that the Earth is low by nature, but when man has to go through the greatest trials, they are sending him to the Earth. When he has to leave the Earth, awaits him something good, another world. The Earth is not the only school that man must pass. Moreover, it is a temporary school. People today are not taught to think like that. Therefore as they listen to me talking, they say: "Tell us how to make our living?" 'Tell us where to house our heads tonight?" I say: the birds whom they ask where to shelter their heads? "But we have children." And the birds have children. The point is not only to think of us, or just to look at issues from our point of view. Let's think about animals. Where they shelter their heads? Where trees shelter their heads? People think where to shelter their heads. They will shelter there, where animals shelter theirs, where plants shelter theirs and finally, where rational people shelter theirs. You say that you are sons of God. You are sons of God, who do not know how to serve. And now they have sent you to the Earth to serve. You are sons of God, who have been served. Now God puts you to serve. You say: "Is this what I am born for?" It is what you are born for. So far the angels have been serving to you and God has served you, everything they have been doing for you. Now He has put you a little to be tormented, and you should work to help others. On the Earth we should learn to serve God. As it serves we should also serve. Great patience has the Earth. It bears us, it bears the silages that we throw; it processes them. People do not think, they say that the Earth is not alive, but dead matter, a ball that spins. It is a delusion. No ball is the Earth! The Earth is a living egg, a big egg, from which everything could be laid. It is an egg, which contains all the eggs in itself, an egg that has all the options. You are sent to the Earth to get one of its properties. Otherwise why a man would come to the Earth? God of this Earth has taken out that essence, the purest matter, and has created the human body, which corresponds to all parts of the Earth. There is something in man that corresponds to the entire Earth. There is something that corresponds to the North Pole, there is something that corresponds to the South Pole, there's something which corresponds to the east; there is something that corresponds to the west. Because the North, it is the Truth, or the direction of our head. The North is above - our heads, the South is below - our feet. The South is the Virtue. To be a good man, he must have a well- organised south pole. To be truth loving, he must have a well-organised north pole. Or you to be a truth loving, your head should be well organised. To be good, your heart should be well organised. The matter of the human body can be compared to the matter of which the Earth is made. Each part of the body has the properties of the matter of the Earth. So man has to harmonise with the matter of the Earth to be good. The South Pole is the solar plexus. Hands and feet are the South Pole, head is the North Pole. A geologist studying the layers, and discussing the material world, it is now a material order of the Earth. These layers of the Earth they have come from the real world. In the real world they have come from the ideal world. The things initially we say that they are from the material world; then go to the real and the ideal. Each one of you as a geologist should study the layers of the Earth, because the human body is built just as is built the body of the Earth. All the geological layers are in man. Man is a whole geology. If man studies the Earth he will study himself, because he is not able to study himself alone. The Earth is increased, that is why we are more easily able to study ourselves through studying the Earth. Everyone has his own earth in himself. The brain is designed to be similar to the Earth. Your earth you should carry it in your head. With this earth as you handle, the other will be at your disposal. Consider that you are in a reasonable world and you benefit from what you are given. How many things there are that you do not know! You will leave this world without having got acquainted with your head. Living on the Earth, this means that you have lived the life of all creatures from the smallest to the biggest, you must have been in all the particles of which the Earth has been created, in every law, in every molecule, in all layers, in the centre of the Earth you must have been, everywhere you should have passed through. It means that you should have lived on the Earth. And you should have passed on the bark of the Earth and you say: "Everything I know!" The length of man is perpendicular to the Earth. Man is perpendicular to the centre of the Sun and the Earth. This shows his intelligence. The length of this ellipse shows his intelligence and the width shows its sensitivity. If you take the Sun, it has 1,380,000 km in diameter. Every kilometre of the diameter corresponds to one our earth, it is even greater. Imagine that you live on such an earth as the Sun, what would your concept of the world then be? Imagine this land, and how large the planets would be compared with it? Now do the calculations, how big they would be. Then your life, would it be like the one, like your present life on the Earth? No, because it depends on the volume of a body on its diameter. All humans are related to the radius of the Earth. Someone wants to study human nature - at first he has to calculate how much is his height of the diameter of the Earth. Whatever changes occur with the Earth, the same changes occur with the human body. Much of the body is water. Many people suffer from lack of water in the body. Lack of water cools the body and lots of water makes it hot. Scientists have noticed that the Earth's water gradually decreases. In the etheric space there is more water than on the Earth. Some occultists explain this fact with obstruction of three important sources of life. If the water is decreased the human life is reduced. So, any changes that occur with the Earth, the same changes occur with the human body. Much of the human body is water. Many people suffer from lack of water in the body. Moisture, water is the cause of heat in the body. Lack of water cools the body. Much water makes it hot. Man has to live properly, rationally to use the energy coming from the Sun to create around him healthy, pleasant atmosphere. A billionaire Aston has had 90 million and 500 thousand dollars annual income. 27 thousand dollars a day earning. What will he make this money, tell me? 27 thousand dollars can you eat them? How many will you spend? I would not like to be that rich. I am rich now. I am richer than him who has a $ 90 million annual income. Me, to give me the Earth do not want it, for me it is very small, and the Sun to give me, I do not want it. And the whole universe to give me, I do not want it. But if they give me Love, I do want it. If I have to choose, I do not want the Earth, the Sun I do not want it, I want to leave them to the others. Love is everything in the world! When you love, you are a citizen of this great home in the world that has no end that has all the options. One day our Earth will stop somewhere. The Earth has to stop somewhere after millions of years, they will send it to repair, and you will have to leave the Earth. And then what would you do? Today God fines all the nations and all humanity for their disobedience. They pay tax for disobedience. Reasonable, rational world in general can never be tricked. The Earth is very smart. What you have worked with at the end it will get it, even with its interest. We should know that we will come to the last customs. You should know that everything you have acquired by smuggling will be taken at the last customs. Misfortunes are not just because of you, it is the Earth’s fault. It has many sins to atone, and by punishing it with it suffer and you as well. Therefore, they do not punish us but they punish the Earth, and we suffer. What would you say about this? So it is in life: father has made any sins, and his son suffers for him, he bears the consequences. By the law of heredity son has his father's sins and is suffering. Now the Earth has many sins that I should not disclose. I know what its sins are, but I should be silent. In youth, it has made some mistakes, that it has long ago realised, but now it must bear the consequences, to redeem them. The Earth has made many small mistakes, but they have big consequences. Its consequences affect us today. Why? Because we have come to live on it and therefore we must bear part of its terms. Because it has realised its mistakes, penitent is, it has corrected, then God has given to it a promise that He will make it a new dress, new clothes, with a bouquet in hand. And then as a young bride they will give to her banquet, they will raise it to the necessary honour and respect. Future Earth will be Princess. If the Earth is a Princess, then you will be sons and daughters of a princess.

Earth Creation Scientific data have identified positively that since this university, the Earth, has been created, have already passed two billion years. And since man has appeared to follow this university have passed around 300,000 years. It is suggested that whoever has done this university has defined its life to continue for another 2 billion years. So man has to learn on the Earth for two billion years more. There are two realities in life: one inside and one outside. What do they form finally? They form a creative principle. So when God has begun to think the world has been created. Some say that God has created man. By the word "man" I mean that God has created the world, i.e. the entire universe through Wisdom. And in the Scripture it is said: "Fun in His habitable earth with the sons of Wisdom." Having created the world, He has given the Earth and the solar system to rent. The solar system He has given to the angels and the Earth to the people. So, there is a coincidence, there is an overlap in the universe. The life of every person, whoever he is, is valuable. Life of an ant is valuable. All creatures in general are valuable. The head is valuable because of the body, the lungs are valuable because of the body, the stomach is valuable because of the body that man has. There is a verse in the Scripture, you may find it I will not tell you where it is "Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of man." (5-th chapter; Proverbs; 31st verse) There is a large Earth on which people live, and this is similar to it. This is a small island where we live. Before the existence of man on the Earth, it has been without form and void, but when man has come to the Earth, it has been converted, the mountains have appeared, valleys and seas. All this has happened after the human spirit has come to the Earth. The Earth owes its beauty to the human spirit. What would you say about this? You will say that God has done this. Yes, one of the greatest works of God, that is the man on the Earth. Therefore, the appearance of the Earth is an expression of the human spirit. What thing is the Earth? For those who understand, it is an expression of the human spirit. For those who do not understand, there will be many interpretations. The human soul has created the universe and the human spirit has created eternity. So the spirit has created countless thousands of universes. So when you talk about your heart, do not think that it is as weak as you imagine it. It has created our Earth and all the other planets. By the heart God has wished to create, to arrange Earth. As in the Scripture it is said: "Spirit of God floated upon the earth." So the Earth is arranged according to the wishes of the heart. Whatever it has wished, it has created. Our Earth is arranged only for virtues, nothing more! Therefore, if we become virtuous, other arts will come. You can not become a musician, if you are not virtuous, you can not become a philosopher, if you are not virtuous, you can not become beautiful if you are not virtuous, nothing you can become, if you are not virtuous. Virtue is the basis of life. Good is the basis of life. The Earth has occupied one huge aeriform space, has had only one core, like a big nut. All the solid part some 250 billion years ago has been like a nut, so great has been our Earth and all this space has been filled with fog, which has continually been thickening. I have a theory that I am now studying. The Earth initially has been very small, like a walnut has been small and this Earth has gradually grown since, as a tree grows. They say: "The egg is developing." They say that to form the Earth, a wide range has separated from the Sun and from this circle has been formed the Earth. It is true, it has been formed by this circle, but this circle represents the last shell from which the Earth has been formed. As the egg in the hen grows, increases, increases and when it has completed its form, then the hen has formed a hard shell and has laid an egg. So when our Earth has been formed inside the womb of the being, this being has made a shell, has put the Earth in the space, it has began to rotate, to move. Scientists tell how the Earth has been formed? The way they explain this, it is mechanical. This way in which I explain it is organic. In the future there will be films which will present how the Earth has been created and will copy from the actual movie, which has remained in the Akashic records. The creatures have kept all these processes of the past in the form of a film and in the future people will see it. Once upon a time the Earth has been closer to the Sun, but it has walked away. It has been in the Sun. All the planets rotating around the Sun once have been in it, but then they have come out of it and have walked away. Some of the planets have drifted so much that now they accept a bit of the sunlight. If I open the archives of Nature and read, I will see that an angel has brought the first grain of wheat to the Earth. Do you believe that? This has happened 250 million years ago. "Then the earth did not exist." We can accept this truth, if we reduce the years instead of 12 months we will assume that the year consisted of three months. According to me the past years have been longer than today. Number 250 presents a fundamental law being. The number 2 generally presents the principle of the Spirit of God, and the number five - the principle of the human mind. "God has created Heaven and the Earth." But the Earth is not like Heaven. When at first has created Heaven He has created it under other conditions. And the Earth has been created of inferior material by inferior forces. Heaven has been created by the higher powers, and the Earth has been created by inferior. It takes time - it will take millions of years until our planet Earth will change in the new order. For now, our head presents somewhat Heaven, our stomach presents the Earth. Whatever the state of your stomach is, that is the state of the Earth. The lungs provide the spiritual world. Still our stomach is not developed. Now we learn how to eat. God suits us. From food you become man“. Often I observe the earth layers, how they are broken I watch and I know the reasons for their refraction, I know why they have bent. When a man rebuilds his house, he makes a dome and continues on. How do you explain this thing scientifically? Man has to know the reasons why have broken these layers in nature. This refraction of layers has not been created by nature; there are other reasons for this. Initially the Earth has been built quite differently. Now I can tell you something, but you will come to a dispute, because you will not believe it. There has been a time when on the Earth there has been no broken layers, mountains have not existed. The Earth has then been smooth like a ball. This has been the time when on the Earth have lived the most rational creatures. Which is what causes these intelligent beings to leave their land and to come here? Where did they come from? These creatures have ever been unhappy on the Earth. Why? The sole reason is that a creature has come and has made a small groove on the ground and from that point forward, when they have seen this groove, all these creatures have left the Earth. Then others have come who have done an even greater groove on the Earth, until finally we have come to the Earth and we have completely bent it. This Earth that we see is the result of the work of intelligent creatures that have for millions of years worked on it. This ground on which we walk, these stones, between which we are moving, the air above us, the Sun above us, all this shows a higher rationality that has worked before we have come to the Earth. For us light is a common phenomenon, for us stones are a common thing, in them we do not see any rationality. The present educated people give an interesting fact. Millions of years ago, 500 million years ago, it is the view of these scientists, the Earth has molted. Rarer matter has been on the surface. Since then the Earth has been moving very rapidly around its axis, the day has been 3 hours. What now it passes for 24 hours; then it has been passing for three hours. In this rapid movement of the Earth the Moon has detached itself from it and then has skipped and has formed the present Moon. It is a scientific theory for the formation of the present Moon. The liver is that matter that has created the world. God has created the world through the liver. Do you know what acids, what forces have been acting in the creation of the liver! That you think is impossible, but I tell you that the liver has been capable of creating. Plants have come to help people. In that carbonic acid that has existed on the Earth, the plants have come to devour it, to eat this poison, and thus they have become carnivores. Plants have devoured it, have eaten it. Then the Earth has become available for man to live on it. People today are formed in the same way that the world has been created. You have sometimes certain discomfort - you do not know the cause of the discomfort. What has been the situation when God has created the Heaven and the Earth? The Earth has been without form, and the spirit of God has floated on the surface. What has been to the Spirit of God in this unarranged world? The Earth has been covered only with fog, water, vapour, fire. There has been a struggle between the water and the fire for the championship, which would be first: a fire to be first, or of the water to be the first. There has been a great fight. The fire has ignited something, the water has extinguished it. The water has extinguished it, the fire has ignited it. This war has been purely spiritual. A big fight has been between the light and the black brothers, as I call them. They have fought millions of years ago and the black have prevailed. Then the bright brothers have withdrawn and they have given place to the others and the Earth has been shrouded by gloom and darkness. They have ruled over the Earth. Then those bright brothers have come to arrange the Earth. For six days they have worked. There has been a big fight and in the Scripture it is said: "God saw." God has seen that everything has been well done. However, those have become cleverer. Seeing that God has created the first man they have come, they have brought their darkness inside man. At first it has been dark outside and the light has been inside. Because God has made the light outside; they have brought the darkness in human consciousness. People have sinned. Outside there is light, the world is pretty nice set. In us inside it is dark. There are a number of theories of learned men on the creation of the world, but let one of them show us a cliché, that has remained of the world's creation. In the first chapter of the Being it is said that God has made the Heaven and the Earth. So He has made them, but He has not created them. This implies that God has made them visible. In this sense, the Earth is not a dead body. It is a living body, on the bark of which we live. If you look at the Earth through the eyes of the clairvoyant, you'd have seen it as a beautiful woman, our mother where we, the people, live and she is frequently patting us, because we do not perform our duties properly. Like the inhabitants of the Earth there is nowhere in the solar system - nor Saturn or Mars or Venus, etc., and their experiences all enjoy. The Earth is a laboratory for experiments. In the solar system, when they want to push through some reform, they make it on the Earth and when it succeeds, they apply it, and elsewhere. On the Earth experiments can be made. Personality has created the stomach, the individual has created the lungs, and the soul has created brain. So, the lungs are the connective link between the stomach and the head. The head and the stomach are the two opposite poles in the human body. When I speak of the stomach, I do not understand it the way people get it, but I understand it as a complex system in human life. Between the stomach and the head of man there is a close relationship, so as the stomach upsets and the head upset. For the same reason there is a close connection between the Divine and the material life: earthly life presents great laboratory in which to study the great life in its totality. The Divine life is a great laboratory where no experiments are carried out, but are checked the experiments that are made on the Earth. Whoever wants to learn, he must necessarily descend to the Earth. Even advanced creatures have a lot to learn on the Earth, so they are looking for to get down to the material, mortal life, to continue their learning. Some descend voluntarily, according to the law of the victim; others descend by belief and others - through violence. Someone says: "Once to go to Heaven, never again will descend to the Earth." No, voluntarily or not, man has to come down to the Earth. It is better that he descends voluntarily, willingly sacrificing to help others than to be compelled by force. Who does not want to come voluntarily, it implies that he does not want to obey God's will.

Gold There is a reasonable law in the world, it is this: once you are born, it can be predicted if you will be rich or not. This wealth is determined by the gold that is in your blood. In each blood there is gold. It is the very life support. It is not superfluous gold. The length of life depends on gold. If a man has no gold in his blood, the Sun is unable to heal him. Gold is a solar element. It is carrier of health, of knowledge, of life. Gold is a completed process – it cannot be developed any more. Gold is born as fruits are born, it grows continuously. There are certain microbes that eat gold. Gold is a symbol of the sun's energy. Hindus call it prana Satva. Prana is that pure energy that man accepts especially in the morning and in the early days of spring. Gold is necessary to man to the extent that he can bring it to the blood and put it into circulation in his thoughts, feelings and actions. Only organic gold penetrated the blood of man is able to improve his life. This gold is a conductor of life force, the so-called "vital prana" in nature. The less organic gold man has in his blood, the greater his sufferings are. On the amount of this gold as well the moral life of man depends. For this gold has talked Christ. He had expressed this idea with the verse: "Gather yourselves treasures in heaven, which neither rust destroys, nor moth doth." The old astrologers have put gold as the Sun emblem. These scientists have known the internal property of gold. In gold is hidden condition of new life. This Gold should have never fallen within the hand of a criminal, not even fallen into the hands of a banker. Each of you should look to find a piece of gold and keep it to yourself. It can cause you a lot more useful than anything else. When I speak about the properties of gold, I mean primary gold that has come out with the first ray of light and has passed through the true Sun, then in the dark, then through ours, and together with it has come to the Earth. This gold contains four valuable qualities in it that bring suns through which it has passed. This gold can be said to be a carrier of life. If someone is climbing the ladder to gold when the sun passes through the darkness, he is able to kill a man. When someone wants to live good, holy life, it shows that he is able to aspire to gold, which has passed through four transformations. This man understands the properties of gold and uses them for his great achievements and aspirations. When acquiring such gold, man must understand the good that lies in him, to adopt and submit it to his body. Is there gold in the blood, the body is healthy, the mind is fresh, sober, noble are the feelings. Gold is stored solar energy that Hindus call "prana". Prana is necessary, on it depends health. Take some of the precious metals, in what sits their nobleness? They do not oxidise. Why? They have very little affinity to oxygen. So their little affinity makes them not oxidise. A high affinity oxidises things, a little relationship leaves them oxidised. Of all the metals gold is the least dark, so it is not oxidised. As a body has more darkness, it is more oxidised, the less darkness it has, the less oxidised it is. Gold has a little dark, so it is less oxidised. Everyone who is wrong has a lot of darkness. Everyone who is a bit wrong has a little darkness. Gold is a good conductor to life energies in man. Gold is necessary to you as a conductor of life that comes from the Sun. You have to have gold to be able to perceive the cosmic life. You should hold gold as a conductor. You do not need it to be more than one wire. So much as you have, that is enough. No other gold your need. If you have more money than you need, it will be a burden for you. So I say: the gold in your mind should sit as an opportunity. Do you know what you should comprehend under the word "gold"? One element that does not oxidise, an element that does not rot, one element which itself is clean. One element that does not harm anyone but for it they can put you in harm. You should endure hardship. Man needs as much gold as it is necessary for his blood, to be healthy. If you have more gold than you need, you will create a disaster in yourself. If in his body man has more iron than he needs, he will be rough and hard in nature. If it is less than he needs, he will be a quitter. Organic gold adds nobility to character and stability to mind. Someone says that he cannot sing. If I give him 10 pounds sterling, will he not sing? Even if he does not know, he will know. Gold gives mood, it is a conductor of life. Gold is not only conductor of human life but also of life in all nature. I think silver is the filter of life, and gold is conductor of life. What is the gold for the material world; such are bread, water, air and light for the spiritual world. Silver cleans from any impurities, gold is an energy carrier, iron enhances, but taken in a larger amount roughens man. If you have more iron in your blood, unorganised iron, you become rough. If you have more diffused silver in your blood, you will become as cold as the Moon. If you have more disorganised gold in your blood, you will burn people, they can complain. Young men complain that have burnt, girls have unorganised gold. There is one element in the world, by which life is transmitted. So, the length of human life depends on the amount of organic gold in the blood. If you have a small amount of excess gold, which does not serve for life, it will serve to attract foreign wealth, or it will create the conditions to be rich. It provides a tendency to become a rich man. Once you become a rich man it will teach you how to live not just walk by car and go to baths, but you will be a rich man, who has invested his capital for the welfare of the people, for the improvement of the people. When gold is corrupt as element, life is shortened. The less organic gold man has in his blood, the greater his sufferings are. The moral life of man depends on the quantity of this gold. Wealth is determined by the amount of gold that man has in his blood. Wealth is fixed and cannot be given to you if you do not have gold in your blood. As much gold you have in your blood, so much you can have outside of yourself. The amount of external gold is proportional to what is in the blood. The one who has the gold in his blood he can never become poor. Gold in human blood is externally expressed as kindness and generosity. Healthy people differ in that they have a sufficient amount of silver in their blood, and rich people have a surplus of gold in their blood. Gold brings life, health, and freshness. Strive to acquire gold to refresh your mind, to ennoble your feelings and support your health. Wealth is an internal organic human need. When some rebels against the rich, they mean wealth, which is only a condition and interior is а possibility. If gold does not enter the bloodstream, man can not benefit from it. Gold is stored solar energy called prana, and it is essential for everyone, health depends on it. Prana is contained in the Sun. Therefore it is advisable for people to go out early in the morning to take more prana. Some stare at the Sun, they want to see prana and then accept it, and it's pointless. Ten minutes is enough to stand before and after the rising of the Sun in perceiving state to be able to perceive what is needed. Then the adopted energy must be processed. Health depends on the gold we have in the blood. If one thousandth of a milligram is given in the blood for a year, a man becomes healthy. If you take one thousandth of a milligram of gold, he soon will fall ill. Have you made this experiment? You sometimes have pain, get a gold coin, wash it very well, put it in a cup to stay for one hour and drink the water. Sometimes you are angry - put a gold coin in a glass of water to stay for a while, and drink the water and you will see that the anger will disappear. Or if are discouraged, again put a gold coin, keep it for one hour in the glass and drink the water, immediately the despair will disappear. You should check these things to see if this is true. Those foods that are healthy contain more organic gold, but which are not healthy they contain less gold. These foods give dynamics. Silver heals painful conditions. If I have any pain, I will take pure silver, put it in water, I will keep it for 24 hours. I'll take a few drops of water and immediately my upset will disappear. Gold has magnetic force, gold gives disposal, but you must know how to take it. How could you get disposal of the gold? I told you how to remove discomfort. To get disposal, what would you do? I'll tell you. Take a gold coin, clean it well, and pass it over the big toe several times. As you pass the gold on your fingers, you will notice that your state is changed. These things you call them delusions. Those old people always carry in their purse a gold coin. They take it out, look at it, to make their mind start working. Make a transaction, gain. Everyone who wins, he has understood the thought. I encourage each of you to have a gold coin in your pocket, and from time to time to look at it or touch it. Everyone has the right for good luck to have at least one gold coin in him. This is necessary for health. When two young – a boy and a girl fall in love and get married, they each must have at least one gold coin and carry them for health. They should constantly carry them in their pockets. To prevent diseases, man should always carry in his pocket a gold coin. Man should have not only a gold coin in his pocket, but he must have in himself always one good deed or a noble, exalted feeling and a bright thought to be equivalent to at least one gold coin. Also, everyone should have a nice body. So beloved and the beloved should have three good things in themselves, in their bodies, and put on a plate: a good feeling, a good mind and a good deed. You might say that it costs a lot. You will buy a piece of red silk cloth that you wear in your pocket, it will relate to your good deeds. It's good for man to carry gold in him, but he should know how to use it, how to wear it. Since ancient times people have more gold in them. They have been wearing gold rings, bracelets, earrings and some other jewellery. Some wear iron rings. Now we abduct. It is better for man to wear some gold in himself, but not to nurture in his mind greedy thought, to live his life, to continue to use it for some personal benefit. What determines the length of life? If you live a materialistic life, you cannot live more than 30 years. This is at least under present conditions. Many people die prematurely. Why? Because have not adopted from his father and his mother that energy that is needed for a longer life. The father must provide the positive energy to his son and the mother - the negative energy. In other words, the father must pass strength of character to his son and the mother - softness. Therefore, the softness brings humidity, strength brings dryness. If the force is predominant in man, everything in him will dry, it can not grow. Gold is conducive to solar energy, but how many of the rich people use it? Rich in one regard are right. You can make an experiment: who is frustrated, to give him a gold coin and immediately there will be a change in him. As he takes out and looks at gold, his grief will be reduced. If you give him two gold coins it will further be reduced. Sometimes it is nice man to have one gold coin, fever will not catch him; no fever will grip him. They will not catch him if he has concentrated his mind in gold. The greater the quantity of gold in the blood is, the healthier the man is. Diseases are due to insufficient gold in the blood of people. To increase this gold, you have to keep clean, noble life. Gold is a symbol of the Sun, of the energy, of health, of purity. Diseases of modern people have shown that there is no gold in their blood. Today in the world there are about 100 million tons gold efficiency, however, the people of the white race they have in their blood only 1 kg gold. In fact, there should be about 10 kg organic gold in their blood. When you consider that white race represents about 500 million people and you split 1 kg gold on this number, you'll have an idea how much gold falls on each man. In the gold hides a force that can produce immortality, but today people do not know how to operate with his inner wealth and therefore they are mortal. Rich like gold, but do not know how to use it. They keep it closed in desks and become its slaves. A man who has gold, should be conducive to life, should pass it through all the people. Modern people do not know how to use gold. It brings bad luck, if berried under the ground, if people use banknotes. Gold should be in circulation. I call a rich man the one who shows his wealth dynamically. That man who does not work with his money, he makes a crime. He has no right to keep the money for himself. Gold should be put into service, to circulate around. I am not for paper money, and I'm not for copper coins, I'm for gold coins, specie. Gold goes to people. Gold should circulate, because it brings life. It is a good conductor of life. Everything in the world should be all gold. Today gold is out of the man, but you have to take it as an organic gold, as a powerful force, as a reasonable and true wealth, which is located inside the body and in the blood. To you love gold that implies to bring the properties of noble gold and sustainability in yourself, not to oxidise, not to sour. Now I do not want to seduce you with tangible work. I have spoken on other occasions, and I say: human wealth depends on that small amount of gold, which he has in his blood. Since all people do not have the same amount of gold, so they are not equally rich. And in my opinion health depends on the gold that is in the blood. Because it is a valuable metal that does not oxidise and is a good conductor of Divine energy, so human health depends on its organic gold. Gold has three qualities. There is a mental gold - it is a component of human thought. Gold enters in the composition of human feelings. Gold enters in the composition of human behaviour. Therefore, man must study the mental gold, heart gold and the gold, which functions in the human body. Nobility of man does not depend on the quantity of gold, but on its activities. If gold in man is exceedingly active, it is because there are forces that are associated with certain magnetic and electric currents passing through the atoms of gold and that they make the man one kind or another. They are the ones who make the inorganic iron in organic iron, which also exerts an influence on man. This gold you have in your pocket is material gold. What's in your blood, it is real gold. This gold that is in your head, it is the perfect gold. When someone says that he cannot love, I say that this man has not perfect gold in himself. If he says that he cannot love in the material world, it shows that there is no physical gold in him. Thus I resolve the questions. If you have gold in yourself you can love. If you do not have gold, you cannot love. You will say gold is an element. Well, but at the same time gold represents the emblem of human rationality. And why modern people are not rational? It is because they have very little gold in their mind. Today, the human mind has much more iron than necessary. And all the evil in the world today is due to the fact that the human mind, the human thoughts have exceeding iron consequently begins a process of rusting. As rusted iron they try to it clean. Having purified iron in people's mind, they say, "Let's love" and start to love, but then they rust again. Again purified, again rusted and so the process continues steadily affecting the relations of the people. In the future, when the young man marries a virgin, they should remove some gold of his blood and so make a gold ring. Do you know how much will such a ring cost? And now they go and buy a ring on the market – it is easy. In the future, however, the girl and the boy, their blood will bring gold to make the rings for both. And then the blood of the male unites in the ring of the women and the blood of the girl will join the ring of the young man, and thus they will live a preliminary life. In this sits the new study. Now the girl will take gold from her father, would mix it with some other metal and will make the ring. And then you will live a happy life that no one will see them. No, from the blood must be taken out the gold. Has anyone tried to take from someone’s blood some gold? This is hard work. Anyone who has been unable to take out gold from his blood will remain single. Now people easily get married, but in the future, when they cannot get out gold from their blood, they will remain unmarried. Without this condition the marriage will not be allowed. In my opinion it is the perfect marriage to make for their beloved a ring of the gold taken out from their blood. Gold must enter into the composition of thoughts, feelings and actions. Gold, which has not passed through the organic world of life, is still underdeveloped. Gold, which you have, should go through your heart and body to get ennobled. Thoughts should be like gold - not to oxidise and the feelings - too. All elements of the spiritual and the Divine life have an impact on man. It is possible to make injections of gold. If you put one hundred-thousandth part of a kg in the blood, in man there will be accommodated positive changes. Life without gold is impossible. The life we have is gold. Of this life you can get out as much gold as you want. If you know the properties of the gold that you have in yourself, you will be able to turn base metals into gold with it. Think for one year in succession on the beauty and purity - and you will not make a mistake. Then, often, at your disposal you should watch the Sun and the Moon - you would not be wrong again. The beauty and purity are silver and gold - they are the Moon and the Sun, which have some relation between each other. Think on these things often, while silver and gold get in your blood. I read a statistic that every year 4 to 8 million tons of iron disappear. How do they disappear? Where do they go? Rust eats them. In America there are statistics that every day 150 million needles disappear. For one year nearly 20 billion needles disappear somewhere. So, now the Americans are thinking about what to do to save the iron not to disappear. They want to find a way to make it not rust. What causes our ageing? Iron in us is rusted. And we get older. When gold is missing the poverty comes. When phosphorus disappears and ceases thinking. Many things are now disappearing. Gold temps will. You can consider these things for fun, but they are not fun. In them lies a whole philosophy. In the mental life of man gold plays an important role. The thoughts of man should be like gold - not to oxidise. Such must be the feelings. If the thoughts and the feelings of man have more gold, they do not oxidise. But if the iron is more, they rust, i.e. they are oxidised. All elements of the spiritual and the Divine world have an impact on man. For this purpose, we need one experimental school to check and experience the power and the influence of each element on man. For instance, could be made to man injections of gold. If you put one hundred-thousandth part of a milligram of gold in the blood in man certain changes happen. That will be determined in the future when you come back to the Earth again. Then you will check whether your current knowledge is correct or not. Gold in nature can be attracted. There are ideas that when they enter in you they can attract gold. There are ideas that attract copper. Many people suffer from lack of gold in their bodies, so it is necessary to import gold in their blood in an alchemic way. If gold in man is little, he often gets ill. The spiritual science has formulas to attract gold. One of the methods to acquire gold in the blood is: conscious work on yourself and use of foods that contain gold. When you start loving all the people, then you will be healthy and strong, and then there will be gold in your blood. In the verb “have“, in it, magical strength is hidden. Use it anytime when you are discouraged, dissatisfied, suffering. If you do not have money, address the Sun and ask for gold and it will give you. Gold has magical power. The adepts that attract gold from space, process it to a special state, its highest state. If you love gold, you will make your way to its exalted life to its highest position. This will give you greater knowledge. Scientists involved with astrology liken the Sun to gold. Like cloves, rose and apple blossoms vary in flavour and precious stones have a specific odour. By the smell it can be found where there is buried gold, as long as you have a developed flair. Gold has nicer and tenderer flavour than cloves. It is amazing that all people go to God and ask for money. If it's about money, you can be wealthy - by well-organised sense of gold in you. Both the flowers and the gold have scent. Develop your flair and you will know where there is gold in the ground by its scent as you know different flowers smell by their. Man can develop this sense of gold and wherever he goes he will smell; he will find gold. Currently your sense of smell for gold is atrophied. You smell it in banks but the bankers keep it in a cage and they do not want you to smell gold. It is difficult for the smell of gold to come out of the iron frames, but in the earth it is freely buried and in the ground it smells very nice. God has put in man one sense - alone to discover where there is gold in nature. Only in the oceans there are about 10 million tons dissolved gold. Who has love for gold, he can find it. Develop in you a sense of smell where gold is. Gold has a smell, it smells like cloves. When you go out, it smells, it has raised somewhere. Dig it, at one meter it is only, pull it and you will take it. Once you come to the gold objects, the hand does not move in a circle, but in an ellipse. So there are two centres in the gold, around which it is moving. (...) It is the outside. It is the mechanical side. When you are sad, when you feel some heaviness, your gold jewels lose their luster. When gold objects and precious ornaments are dark you can give them to healthy people, full of energy and life to wear them for a while to restore their luster. Wearing gold, diamonds, precious stones, it is not vanity and fun. All of them are valuable for human psyche. Silver transforms the energies that come from the Moon, and gold transforms the solar energy. People unconsciously strive for gold and silver because they feel that there is something in them, that they heal. And on all the fingers to have a man gold rings it will be fine. Some will say that this is vanity, or that it is superstition. What about taking drugs is it not a superstition? Gold is a good conductor of health. Someone who has more gold in his blood, he is always healthy. Therefore, to many people I have said to wear gold things on themselves: rings, pins, bracelets and more. On which finger do you usually wear rings? If I were you, I would not wear rings on a single finger, on the third, for instance, but I will sometimes move it on the fifth, then on the fourth, on the third, and sometimes on the first thumb. Thus you strengthen your will. Gold tempers will. Thanks to the tireless work of the atoms in the gold, it constantly grows and develops. When I tell you to work for acquiring gold in the blood, it means to connect with the rational creatures. Each element is associated with a rational creature. If you love a gold coin, do you often watch it and even if you lose it, it will come back to you. I'm telling you this as a fact, and you understand it as you want. The water that is going into the ocean; then it is coming back again through the air to the land. It is a circle. Once man goes away, he has no right to gold, treasures, untold wealth, even if he is living in terrible agony, and from the other world is watching how everything scatters. Therefore Solomon has been right: "Vanity over vanities, all is vanity."

Precious Stones - Gems Precious stones are a great world and when a man is spiritualised, he begins to see what he has not previously seen. In Revelation, in the twenty-first chapter it is talked about the 12 gates, made of precious stones: jasper, sapphire, emerald, sardonyx, sardines, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, hrizopras, Yakin, amethyst. They represent the 12 virtues. By minerals, by the precious stones manifest cherubim, seraphim, etc. There are precious stones of power that is hidden until now. Outside the stones seem simple, but they have the force inside themselves. How many tears has the precious stone shed for thousands of years until it becomes beautiful! Some modern geologists say that the precious stones are formed from gases in the Earth. Precious stones have passed through the gases, but are not formed by them. They are fundamentally different from the gases. Other scientists did say that diamond, for example, is nothing more than pure carbon. No, diamond is not carbon. As the soul is clothed in the body and the diamond is wearing a carbon matter, but in itself it is not carbon. In this regard, any precious stone has its own body. You should know that the body of the precious stone is not the stone itself it is only his outer clothing. So the precious stone presents a closed life that awaits its future development. And when asked why people love the gems we already know the reason: people love the precious stones because they conceal in themselves their forces in a potential state, awaiting their development. In the precious stones can be examined the properties of light. The precious stones retain some light. They have been taught to keep some light that we have no idea therefore and they have become precious. The great thing about precious stones is made of light. Of light made its garment. Assume that each crystal presents a great law on shaping and manifesting of the human consciousness on the Earth. If so, you should assume that all men are fitted to the crystals. Hence, we explain why some people love some of the gems; some people love others, etc. Of love and placement of man to one or another of the precious stones we judge the origin of his consciousness or the degree of development of his consciousness. By the precious stones you'll sometime find the man who used to be the father of your consciousness. Nature often presents particular traits either behind the ears, either the hands or elsewhere, when it wants to point to someone whose successor is the man. And then it says: if in a mother or a father at the same time have both traits like in a child, that child is theirs. Not only by these features can be recognised people, but also by the pore structure. Such as the construction of the pores in the mother is, so it is in her son. Pores of some people have correct geometrical figures, but also the lines between one and the other pore have precise mathematical proportions. To determine and quantify the lines and shape of the pieces themselves, pentagons, hexagons, etc. they use special tools. When studying crystals from occult or a Divine perspective, we are not only interested in the origin of the crystals, but we look at them as on parchment on which is written the history of the development of human consciousness. From these parchments future mineralogists will learn. Do you know how finely written these scientific facts are! Do you know how complex mathematical and geometric formulas of great scientists are hiding in these crystals! Great treasures are hidden in the crystals. By exploring nature, you will see that most precious works are not large. For example, once a diamond has been aeriform substance that occupied a large space. It has had to pass a long time, until it thickened. God has compressed it, has turned it in a solid, yet reduced its size. It has become smaller in volume but more expensive in price. Do you know how much energy, how much matter is pressed in an atom? Who has formed the diamond? Who has crystallised it at 3-4 km into the ground? You say that the temperature and the pressure are involved in this crystallisation, but also these conditions of crystallisation are due to a rationality that operates outside. What do straight lines show? These are crystals. What do the curved lines show? These are images of the organisms, of the plants. The straight line contains nothing but immortality! Each line, each crystal is characterised in that it melts but does not burn. Under strong atmospheric pressures and many thousands of degrees heat it has melted and then has crystallised, and after millions of years it has become a gem. The straight line indicates high pressure and high temperature without burning. It is because death comes from burning. Diamond has organic origin. Diamond sometimes suffers from pain. It has a fever. If the diamond is suffering from fever, it may not reflect sunlight, it darkens. If you wear a diamond and it has lost its luster, you're sick. Diamond is able to help, but it can be infected by you. Stones become infected by humans. Any matter that lets sun rays pass is useful because it is crystallised. And that matter that is dark and can not let the sunlight pass, in itself is not that valuable. Which is what gives value to the diamond? It is its crystallisation and its hardness. Neither the researchers nor the common people know why appeared the diamond. It is the only measure. If you do not have in mind the concept of diamond, its inner meaning, you do not understand it. Diamond is not a dead body, as many think. It is a living body and it represents a crystallised intelligence with 4 relations in the world. Diamond is so sensitive that if worn by a criminal who killed people, it loses its luster. Even if that man is very big criminal the diamond will explode and leave. It does not want to be possessed by a criminal. There is one case in Africa, when a diamond exploded by itself, alone has lit and has burned. If we have the idealism of the diamond, what should be our thoughts? They should be like it, crystal and solid. It is already thought! You can carry around a diamond as an emblem. You should like it - strong and pure in character. In times of hardship and suffering, you have to be as hard as diamond. If you want to be pure, you should be clean again as diamond. If you are clean as a diamond and address your thoughts to heaven, it will immediately listen to you. A large diamond, if clean, when you wear it, you will be healthy. No man can wear a precious stone and be ill. If you wear a stone and get ill, then the stone is ill. When a precious stone, a diamond is ill, it loses its power; it cannot refract well the sun rays. Give this diamond to a healthy man and it will recover its original value. Do you think that diamonds may not be as large as a duck's egg or a camel egg? There are in the ground so large diamonds, but they have not yet found them. The first, the rational people who have been on the Earth, they have taken out those diamonds that have been as big as camel eggs. After that the people have taken out the diamonds that have been as big as duck eggs. Then have been taken out the diamonds as big as hen's eggs, and now for us have remained diamonds big at the most as pigeon eggs. Large diamonds are stored somewhere. It's good a man to have at least one gold ring with a precious stone and every morning to successively put it on all his fingers and say: "I want to move the Divine in me, to be noble, to be fair, to be musical, with the desire for beauty and to treat people well". Great strength lies in the precious stones. Light that has been refracted by a precious stone has a curative effect on man. Therefore, it is healthy for a man to carry on his hands or neck a precious stone. There are some stones, whose vibrations do not harmonise the oscillations of the body. Therefore, these stones are not to be worn, their oscillations are such that you cannot harmonise and instead of benefit, they will bring you injury. Take the current learned people dealing with radium. Many have paid with their lives. Not that radium is bad, but people are not ready for its oscillations. Many dangerous diseases are treated with radium oscillations. A man who works with radium should be very capable. Precious stone refracts light correctly, completely different from ordinary stone, or glass. If you direct a precious stone to a wound, the light that it refracts it will heal the wound. Scientist refracts in a special way the sunlight with his mind and can treat with this light, the average person refracts the light a little and therefore he can help neither his neighbour nor himself. Precious stones know many things. A diamond can protect you from certain diseases. Sapphires, emeralds can also heal. They are a standing guard. Precious stones are bearers of life. If someone who is sick wears a diamond, he will recover. I recommend you to wear precious stones, but the noble ones, bearing life. Gold is conductor of life. The gold ring you should carry with you, you should not hide it in boxes and drawers. Each adept has a little precious stone and he always carries it with him. Wearing a precious stone is of great importance, it is not vanity. Precious stones are worn to prevent certain evils. They are weapons. You will wear a diamond, just to keep you from some bad influences. Precious stones are carriers of ascending creative energies and serve as natural transformers; therefore it is recommended to wear them as a shield from harmful influences and transformers of lower desires. Like cloves, rose and apple blossoms vary in flavour and precious stones have a specific odour. Beautiful, natural precious stones smell very nice. If they do not smell, they are dead artificial stones. Occult science claims that the precious stones are the fruits. They grow and develop even as the fruits on the ground. And we can say that they are on the Earth the highest statement of the mental plane, and they are creatures that live in the mental field and express their activity on the Earth through the precious stones. And who can read on them will find a lot of knowledge. There is much knowledge nested. In these precious stones there are written many works. But who wants to deal with, he must master the Akashic books, he must have been in those centres of clairvoyance to understand the combination of these stones. The practical application of these forces impacts on the bone system. If you have a disability in your bones, you explore the precious stones, run them through your mind, pass various clans of light through your mind, and they will have the healing effect on your body, especially the bones. This is the practice and people put these stones on the head of the children, not to catch the evil eye. In order not to get lost, they will put some stones on their hats. The precious stones always attract these unconscious forces, they control them. I mean under the words "unconscious forces" these forces that have no morals, because the world has known occult forces that have no morals. And they are living forces, and when you come under their influence, they can make anything with you. For instance, if you pour a little of sulphuric acid on your body, it will not ask you if it is allowed to decompose, to corrode, it will show its reaction.

Morning, Afternoon, Evening The most sublime matter that we accept is the solar energy. If you do not see this light, you cannot renew. The first sun ray brings the wealth of all the rays. The most useful are the rays at the rising of the Sun. The solar energy is alive; everything grows; flourishes and matures at it. This light comes only in the morning at sunrise, but it does not come from the Sun itself. Everything that you can take and use is before and during the sunrise. During the day you can take something, but this is only the bran. The first sun rays contain specific energy, useful to all the living creatures. Who does not bake at the first sun rays, no matter how long he will stay in the Sun at lunch; he will acquire nothing. The dawn gives man such energies that no other force is able to give him. The early sun rays, before and just after sunrise, especially the spring sun rays are a cure for all the diseases. You should always know when the Sun rises, to be awaken, to go out and meet it. The first sun ray is something very powerful and beautiful! If you can catch it for ten times during the year, it is enough. But in order to sense it as you should, you should not distract your attention with anything else. Early rays are most favourable to man. In the Sun there is a large transformer that sends energy throughout the Earth. In the Sun there is a specific transformer for every man on the Earth. Everyone accepts specially sent to him light and energy. Everyone has a transformer that accepts special light, sent for him. If the Sun is rising and you do not go out to be shined by the sun rays, to use this solar energy, you cannot accept this prana that you expect from the Sun. You should go out and choose the best place. There you will bake on all the sides and then you should go home. Once the Sun has risen up, I have to get something out of it. If the Sun shines and I do not take anything from it, I do a crime. Every day you I have to go out before the Sun to get the necessary portion that belongs to me. A ration that Sun has to give me. I have to go out just in time. During the day, whatever you take, it is bran. And the important is which helps you throughout the day. It is essential. During the day whatever you take, it is not that bad, but it is bran. In the morning what you take, it is the essential. At least one hour before sunrise you must be awakened. Do not sleep nor lie lazily in the bed. Even before the rising of the Sun, man must be awakened to receive his ration. If he is staying in bed and excuses with his bad health and indispose, he loses. The Sun rises up and you think whether to wake up or not. Who wants to be well in the world, the sun should not find him in bed. As often as the Sun finds him in bed, he will pay a fine. The Sun brings him a letter from the invisible world, and he is staying in bed. If you want your works to be in order, at dawn you should be awakened. Go to bed early and get up early. In the morning, upon waking up, contact with God. Serve yourself alone; do not look for servants to bring you your shoes and clothes. I recommend you to get up early when Sirius rises or when the Morning Star rises if you want to bring something good in your soul. Wait for the first ray of the Sun and then you can go to work. Get out early in the morning around sunrise, to watch it for a couple of minutes, to expose your back to the Sun for two or three hours, so headaches and back pain will pass. Morning from 7 to 10 o'clock the latest you should be exposed to sunlight. The brain is like a battery and as that battery starts to perceive, as its filling with solar energy is correct, then it sends the energy to all the parts of the body and the energy begins to heal. If at the rising of the Sun you realise that you perceive more of the Divine Love and the Divine life, then the sunshine for you will have a curative effect. If you do not you realise and do not know this thing, so the sunrise will be for you a purely mechanical process and you will benefit nothing from it. At sunrise the sun rays regulate the nervous system. If you're smart, if you love God, the Sun will shine better, you will be more receptive to certain solar energies, while unloving constitutes an obstacle in this aspect. To receive from the Sun what it gives, we must have respect for it not only as to the physical body but also to the creatures that inhabit it, and to contact their minds. If a man for an entire year, day after day continuously meets the dawn and the sunrise as he should, regardless of whether the weather is clear, cloudy, rainy, or blizzards and storms, he can become a genius. In the morning, as the Sun rises, turn your left side to it so that it shines on it. Then you turn your right side, then your chest, your back and say: "God, thank You that You have created the world well. I want to be rational, to understand Your ways, and to live for You. Now I return to You. Those ate and drank, but did not understand anything of this life". Everyone should be returned on the way of his deviation. Sun rays are still alive thoughts of advanced creatures. They keep our lives. For treatment you should bake in the Sun before noon. However, your mind must be alert, focused and you should think that these rays are live thoughts. Then you will use them and everything negative diseases, conditions you will drive away. When sunbathing, you should not fall asleep or you will absorb negative energies. The space between the Earth and the Sun has transformer circuits that transform light. Every good man for me is a sunrise. Everyone who loves is a sunrise. Who does well is a sunrise. Everyone who does not live well, he is a sunset. Make the following experiment: for one week deal for about one hour a day with algebra, namely the first hour after the rising of the Sun. Do not think that you will gain great knowledge, but you will awaken in you specific energies, with which you will do some other work. Then set the second hour after sunrise to study a philosophical system. As you work one week in this direction you will awaken in you a different kind of energy. During the time when you deal with mathematics and philosophy, measure the width of your neck and the hand at the wrist, to see the difference between the energies of the one and the other case, and their effects on the blood circulation. Having understood this law, the psalmist says: "God, in the morning I will call." This means: in the morning before the rising of the Sun, I will deal with the greatest work - communion with God, to gain energy with which to do my work during the day. Wherever man goes, whatever work he starts, he needs energy. You should be exteriorly and interiorly rich, with powerful spirit, with soul wide, with bright mind and a generous heart. The energies that the Earth accepts from the Sun, penetrate the earth's crust, leave their food items and already transformed again go into space, then to the Sun for processing, to obtain the initial rhythm. From midnight to noon the Earth is negative, absorbs more, and from noon to midnight is positive. Morning at sunrise the Earth is the most negative, accepts the most. Then man can take prana, life energy then this burst of energy is the most powerful and life- giving. An hour before sunrise the Sun has psychological effects on the cells of the body, renews their energy and creates an impetus for work. Before sunrise, the solar energy acts the most to improve the brain nervous system. At sunrise is toned the respiratory system, and from 9 to 12:00 - the stomach. Afternoon sun rays are not useful. The reason for this difference is the different ability of the Earth and the human body to perceive. The Sun cannot pass to you its good, because currents from morning to evening are varied: man before noon perceives currents that are favourable and in the afternoon, because he is busy, he is in negative state, and he can perceive almost nothing. All good wishes are to be planted only in the morning, in the evening nothing is sown. In the evening the seeds grow and they are planted in the morning. So it is in the spiritual world as well. Do you know what a morning is? The morning is the youth. In the morning the Sun is a young man, he is married at noon and in the evening he is an old grandfather. Christ says: "I came into the world to teach you how to know the good in bad and bad in the good." Good has its bad side, and the bad has its good side. Previously they thought that the Sun is very clean, however, it is now known that there are black spots. And the Sun is tainted. Do you know what anxiety is sometimes in the Sun? Each alert on the Sun affects the Earth. When the Sun is quiet the Earth is peaceful. Therefore, one half of our Earth is facing God, it is closer to God and the Sun highlights it, and the other half is dark. This half, which is facing towards God, gathers energy. Each of you can come to this state. When you say that there is nothing you can do, you are in the positive energy of the Earth. When your Earth is turned to the Sun, you are in the negative energy of the Earth and then culture comes. You will ask me: "How come the same solar energy sometimes is good and sometimes is bad?" In the morning the solar energy is the mother's love, and in the afternoon, when it passes the meridian the energy degenerates, becomes worse. At dusk this energy is reflected even worse and at night there are fights, murders, etc. Why do these things happen between people? It is because we gather all positive energies. In order not to happen such things the woman should write a law to her husband to return home two hours before sunset. If he returns after dark, his head will surely suffer. The same thing happens to us. When we think of something good, noble, we are in a negative energy, in the bright side of the Earth; if we think something bad, we are in the positive side of the Earth, in the positive energy. In the morning at sunrise the Earth is most negative, i.e. accepts the most. This fact is of great importance to assess the significance of the sunrise. We have to consider the following rule: we are a part of the Earth system and, when the latter assumes, the human body accepts and the opposite, when the Earth gives and man gives. That is why the most effective are the first sun rays. Then the human body is the most receptive to the Sun's energy. In the morning we have always more prana or vital energy rather than at noon. Then the living organism absorbs the most and the most powerful positive energy. The first rays of the Sun are the most active; then the Sun is at the height of its activity. The solar energy passes every day through two periods: from 12:00 at midnight until 12:00 noon when there is a burst of energy, and from 12 at noon to 12:00 midnight - there is low tide. The solar energy passes every day through 4 periods: from 12 midnight to 12 at noon there is a burst of solar energy, and from 12 at noon to 12 midnight - there is a low tide. Tide comes to its highest point at sunrise. This tide is the most powerful and life giving. To meet the rising of the Sun means to consciously connect with it, so that its forces to flow through your body. If someone is connected with the Sun in the physical world, at the same time he connects to two suns – to the Sun of the spiritual and to the Sun of the Divine world. If man does not meet the physical Sun sunrise, he cannot be healthy. This law is known not only for people, but also to all living creatures. The most healing rays of the Sun are in the morning from 8 to 9:00. At noon, the rays are very strong and do not act well on the human body. Early rays act well to anaemic people. In the morning at dawn, at the sunrise and then until 10 o'clock the solar energy is the most useful. At noon exactly is the strongest, then you need a blessing, in the afternoon this light is already harmful, and two hours before sunset, you should already be at your home. In the lakes and in the rivers you can enter when the Sun is at its zenith, above, perpendicular to the ground, but before entering the water you will wash your feet away. By accepting these sun rays at noon precisely, you will perceive from the Sun knowledge that nobody in the world can gave you. When you want to cure, expose your back in the early sunlight. When you want to acquire inner peace, expose your back to the sunset and direct the face to the east. In this position, you will experience deep inner peace and you will find out that you do not have to worry about anything else. In spring and summer, from March the 22nd each year, it is advisable to man to lie down and get up early, to meet the Sun and take his share of the Sun like the bees collect nectar from flowers. Everyone should make experiments for years to get convinced in the truth. You do not need to blindly believe. Everyone will develop his own ideas and concepts for the beneficial effects of the Sun. This is not a delusion, but a deep understanding of the basic law of the great nature. You should always be in harmony with its provisions and understand that they contain true methods of our lives. And if we move in concert with them, we can always be rational, healthy, strong and happy. Therefore we need to meet officials of nature well. One of these employees is the Sun. So the psalmist says, "turning away and seeking God in the morning" (Psalm 78), and: "It is good to praise God and sing songs in His name, Most High: to tell about Your mercy in the morning" (Psalm 92), and does not say: "At night I will praise You, O God!" When nature starts working, then we need to start our own. This is it the Divine, the great life; i.e. to think and feel as the great, the reasonable; the natural life occurs and not as people have thought out all sorts of systems and beliefs. It is because "credo" in the world – it is Truth, the essence of life – it is Love, and the meaning of this life – it is Wisdom. In spring the sun rays act most favourably and since the end of January until the 22nd of June they are especially curative. In all seasons the sun rays do not act in the same way. The Earth in early spring is more negative and therefore it is the most accepting. So in the spring the sun rays have the strongest healing effect. From March 22nd the Earth gradually becomes positive. In summer it is already very positive and therefore it absorbs less. The summer rays work, but weaker. The solar energy in the four seasons has four types of influences. In spring and summer represents a rush of solar energy to the Earth, and in the autumn and in the winter – a tide. So the most beneficial influence of the Sun begins on March 22nd. All those organisms that are tightly arranged benefit from this energy and weak organisms melt and weaken even further. On March 22nd the Earth works more creatively, its creative forces are in action. When in spring flows the positive solar energy, the creative activity of the Earth is increasing and therefore there is strong growth at this time - the largest organic work gets done then. The best months for renewal are from March 22nd, throughout the whole April and May until 22 June On the latter date all growing stops. February has very useful days because of the prana flowing from the equatorial Sun that brings life with itself and renewal for the body. It is "Rising" and "sunset". The poles have a sunrise and a sunset. In the temperate zone there are 365 sunrises and 365 sunsets. How is this done long ago it has been proved. Scientists say: "to make such a window that the Sun shines on it constantly. Do northern window on which the Sun shines. "Where can you make such a window? It is only on the North Pole. Then the Sun, while turning all the windows will be north, south, east and west. In my opinion, the most sublime life is on the pole. A man who wants to become a saint must go to the North Pole. Talented are in Russia, the ordinary - in our places, the stupid - in the tropics. This is true. In the tropics are the most severe diseases. You can see this as a little joke. From misunderstanding of life we think that the contradictions are found in the north, as a curse. And the greatest tests that come into our lives are all from the North Pole. Smaller tests this is the temperate zone. Where there are no tests and there is eating and drinking it is the equator.

Treatment with Solar Energy Man should start with the Sun, to spiritualise the solar energy and to use it wisely. He should accept that on the Earth God manifests through the Sun, whence he derives life-giving energy. If someone is sick, if he can not breathe well, let him turn to the Sun and deep in his soul to want to connect with it, take from its power. It will not take long and he will be renewed and strengthened. Many would say that he should lie on his bed; that it is likely to break any artery in him, but he must not succumb. These are external suggestions that contain no truth in them. Who has only once taken solar energy into himself; he knows its beneficial influence on the thoughts and feelings, as well as all the cells of his body. He sees around him only healthy, strong people, and nothing scares him. If anyone is discouraged, let him turn to the Sun, to accept of its energy. Solar power makes man healthy, vigorous; strong, it gives him strength to endure hardships and difficulties in life. To absorb solar energy, this is equivalent to walking around the beautiful gardens filled with colourful and fragrant flowers, nice and sweet fruits and from time to time to try some of them. It is not a waste of time if you spare a couple of hours of the day to get in touch with the Sun and accept of its energy. The most sublime matter that we accept is the solar energy. If you do not see this light, you cannot renew yourself. The Sun has its own life. The light that comes from the Sun is the result of the intensive thought of those creatures that live there. The heat is coming, it's that Love that they have. I say: the sun rays bring gifts of Love, gifts of knowledge, gifts of wisdom and gifts of freedom, gifts of Truth. Thanks to permanent sun rays we perceive it that way. He says: "Why should I bake in the Sun?" You'll get Love, you will get knowledge. Now, those who are religious, says: "You shall not worship the Sun!" There is nothing to worship! When you love someone do you worship? Love excludes worship! Whoever does not love, does worship; who loves, nothing to worship. People in quite another state they worship. It is a matter of power. When two people come, the one who is more powerful does not worship, but the weak worships. In love there are no big and small. They are all equal. In 1914 I wanted to give one good to the people for which I recommended to them baking in the Sun, they so distorted that thing that instead; some of them began to worship the Sun. There is no need to worship the Sun, but God. Only the First reason, only the Eternal, which regulates all things, He alone is worth to worship Him man. Otherwise, neither the Sun nor the Moon, nor anyone else man should worship. Man can worship whomever he wants, but this is not right. Worship, service to God is characterised in that, the one who worships God, He gives to him life. Why? Because when we worship God, we express God's ideas. To worship God means to carry in your soul His Love, His knowledge to bear, to bear His freedom to carry his Spirit. There is no need to worship the Sun, but what it gives, must be accepted and processed. Man has to take energy from the Sun for his brain, for his lungs, for his stomach and his body. In this energy is hidden rationality. You must have a true creed. What I am talking to you about, you can try it - as you try the sun rays. Years ago, when we talked about the sun rays, they have been laughing, and saying: "Delusion!" Now intelligent people in France, Germany, England, talk about the power that comes from the Sun - a specific power that can heal the sick. Not only that, but from the Sun comes out an energy that creates the human brain, human lungs, human body. If people knew these laws, if they knew the time, when there is burst of this energy and use it for healing, all the children would be healthy. All gifts come from above. The Earth has created only our stomach. Thank it for that. And the lungs, the brain cannot be created by it. You should study that energy coming from the Sun. It is applied in growing and educating. If you had knowledge you might perceive from the Sun as much energy to heal every disease. If you knew how to use solar energy properly, you would do until now wheat grains as large as eggs, and if you know how to properly use solar energy input to corn, anything you would do! You have to study the energies that come from the Sun. People do not know how to use electricity and magnetism of the Sun and thus feel nervous, tense. That nervousness is due to dryness in the body of the exceedingly warm and exceedingly chilling. To avoid this dryness, between cold and heat there should be created a communication link. If the heat is more than you need, and cannot attract moisture, dries skin tones, due to the line represented by diseases such as haemorrhoids, leprosy and others. In these diseases the skin begins to crack. When the energies of the human body are striving toward the centre of the Earth, it becomes ill. To cure it, these energies have to turn to the centre of the Sun. One of the reasons for neurasthenia is the weak link between the human body and solar energy. If you strengthen this connection, neurasthenia will disappear. Whо is connected with the Sun he leads a good, rational, moral life. For neurasthenia and all the nervous diseases: three months April, May and June every day you should walk around the mountain, so that the Sun can bake your back, you should go from east to west and when the sun has not yet risen, and soon after his rising. If you have eczema, if you have hair fall or if you have arthritis in the joints or swelling in the abdomen, make a glass balcony, take your clothes, lie down with your head to the north and your legs to the south, expose your breasts in the Sun, protecting your head from the Sun. Stay for half an hour, then half an hour lie at the back, then lie on the right side, then lie on the left side until you sweat well. 30-40 such baths are sufficient for everything to pass away. Expose yourself to the sun rays and all the harmful microbes will disappear. If you catch a cold, a fever, look for the cause of the disease. You will see that the reason lies in the dominance of the negative energies in the body. Then nothing remains but to turn them into positives. So every disease is due to an excess of negative energies. If you cannot turn them into positive you should find a vent where from the surplus to run out. The negative energy in the body is an intruder, which you should get rid of. If you have such diseases that are not subject to any medication and some bumps, lumps on the body for a long time you should pray and stay out for 2-3 months in the quiet sun rays to make them disappear. If a piece of iron gets in your body expose the place where it is to the Sun for a few months and it will come out. Only the energy of the Sun is able to recover the strength and the health of man. If you are ill, go out in the Sun. Bake at the Sun for a while, on the next day – as well. So for 2-3 months you will become well. Christ recommends the Sun as method for treatment. When there is no Sun you will cure yourself in your room, you should bandage the wound with olive oil and onions, and when the Sun is shining, you should go out, you should loose the wound and expose it to the Sun. Smart man, seeing that his body is lacking some energy, he collects it from the Sun. He knows that the Sun can compensate a deficiency of energy in the human body. Whether a paralysed body or leg or hand or eyes faint or weak memory, all this is due to the scarcity of energy, insufficient influx of blood, lack of meal in the body. Smart and reasonable man would not say: this is the will of God, but will immediately acquire the necessary to collect the energy, to be healed. The accumulation of solar energy in certain parts of the body more than necessary makes the other bodies suffer from a number of diseases. Generally suffer these bodies that are unmagnetised, that are deprived of the necessary amount of energy. To heal them, mentally should be given to them the necessary energy. If between the energies of the Sun and the energy of your body the metabolism is correct, you will always be healthy. Only the healthiest can grasp the ideas of the new doctrine. Sunlight adopted with Love is the best juice for healing the body. When sunbathing, think of light as a living creature. To tell you the magic: when you love a man, when he loves you, he will do everything for you. So it is with the Sun and the water. If you love them they will do what is necessary for you. Whatever man wishes they already know it on the Sun and send it. Therefore this, the real that treats me, they send it to a specific place. This energy comes in a straight line. God has put the Sun in the sky, on which to bake, and you are looking for your doctor to artificially bake you with a lamp. This is not a cure! If you bake in the Sun each day consciously, for half an hour, featuring thought you will get more than with days to dig through the books looking for what the doctors say about a given disease. When sunbathing most important is perspiration. If you are outdoors, then cover yourself with a very thin fabric, white or pale green, and focus your thoughts on what makes the Sun and how you can use it. Our body is made up of billions of cells that have the ability to perceive on the Earth the sun rays, to transform them and keep their prana for renewal and healing. If you're sick, get out, expose your back to the sun and from it you will receive what no philosophical thought can give you. Sometimes when I am indisposed, instead of going to the pharmacy, I go out, put my back to the Sun, concentrate my mind and the medicine comes from the Sun. After I soak its energy for 10-15 minutes, any headaches will disappear. The stomachache will disappear. How it works, it's my job. At first, as I am in the Sun, I adjust so well, that it warms me up. And it sends its energies to my stomach. I, when I am in the sun, I can give you a method - I take a little snack, like the beetles. I accept one beetles’ lunch. A couple of cherries, I'm serving in my thermos of hot water and occasionally swallow a little warm water. And bake in the sun. You say, "What will happen?" Will happen what never happens anywhere: the water attracts the energies coming from the Sun. No need to watch the Sun for hours, one or two minutes is sufficient. Once risen, turn your back and say "I want you to do me a rubdown." There are no better massages than those that the Sun makes on the spine. For man there is no better massage therapist than the Sun there. The early rays from dawn until about 10-11 o'clock are the best. If you do not believe in the power of the Sun and your say, "Oh, I might become healthy or not" you will not have good results. When treating in the sunlight you should only think about light, about nothing else. It is enough to concentrate your mind for half an hour to the Sun and the sunlight, to have a result. I told you that you need to use solar energy, but you are in such a hurry, that you do not even wait to tell you what to do. Many of you have begun to observe the Sun without knowing how to do so. They stare at the Sun and expect to receive the necessary energy. Solar energy must pass through several veils to give its result. To use it as a heal man has to pass some sun rays through certain prisms. These prisms can be physical, but can also be mental. The sun contains all the drugs in it. There is no disease that is not a subject to the action of sunlight. To heal himself man has to pass the sun rays through a prism - real or imaginary. Same with the light coming to our eyes as light, it goes through several transformers. We see broken, reflected light, not straight, and therefore we see things relatively, not absolutely. For everything we have a relative idea. Purity is natural, straight state of matter. To go from one world to another, pure energy must be transformed, and it requires spiritual methods and laws. Who knows these methods and can use them, he enjoys the energy of purity. To use the energies of light and heat of the sun rays, they have to go through several refractions and only then we can perceive them. The cleaner the environment through which they pass is, the more properly they break and the better affect man. There is no disease that the sunlight cannot cure, but under certain conditions. In order for the Sun to heal you, you definitely need to put your mind into harmony, your heart and will with it to adopt this beam that brings healing energies. In the middle of the brain is the so- called "magic eye of the soul" or "inner sun of man." If this sun is not shining in man, nothing becomes of him. It acts as a transformer in the human body. When external energy enters the brain, this node or the eye of the soul forwards this energy throughout the brain. It has other properties in addition to transform solar energy. In the brain there is another transformer which forwards solar energy throughout the body. The healthy state of both the body and the senses depends on the correct transformation of these energies. So this eye is the transformer of the Divine energy in man and creates conditions for its manifestation. When the Sun shines inside man, he is joyful and glad. The point is not to stand and watch the Sun, but to stand so that this sunbeam to come to your mind harmoniously, then you will get an unusual pleasantness and disposal. Who wants to properly use the sun rays, he should put his back into a slope. If he changes this angle he will not benefit from the rational rays of the Sun. Talking about the Sun, we have in mind not only the physical sun, but also the spiritual sun, as an act of intelligent, rational force as a manifestation of creatures, bearers of Love and Wisdom. Expose yourselves to the sun rays to get in contact with God. Every day at sunrise wish to have love in your heart and truth in your mind. To meet the Sun, means to welcome the Spirit of God. If at every sunrise you think about God, you can find Him, to know Him more, than you have known Him yesterday; this sunrise now makes sense for you. If you go out at a sunrise, knowing deep inside that today you will know God a little more than you have ever known Him. If at the rising of the Sun you realise that you perceive more of the Divine Love and the Divine life, then the sunlight for you will have a curative effect. If you do not think and you do not realise and know this thing so the sunrise will be presented to you as a purely mechanical process that you will benefit nothing. To the Sun you will throw one furtive glance for a tenth of a second. The Sun works very hard and not to damage your eyes, do not look directly at Sun for a long time. Light is not bad, but the retina is not adapted. As you watch the Sun, do not bend your eyes, you are afraid not to go blind. Of course, you do not have to stand for hours and watch the Sun with your eyes open, but it is enough for two seconds to look at it and then close your eyes. When man opens and closes his eyes to the Sun, it will affect the negative thoughts and feelings in man. Sunlight acts well on the human brain. For renewal you should go out in the morning, at dawn, and each minute you should open and close your eyes. When you want to acquire certain energy, watch the Sun, but do not look at it directly, throw a short glimpse to the Sun and move your eyes away and then think about it for a long period of time. Gold is stored solar energy that Hindus call "prana". Prana is necessary, health depends on it. Therefore it is advisable man to go early morning when he can take much more prana. Ten minutes is enough for a man to stand at dawn and sunrise, to take what he needs. I will give you a method by which to interact with disorder of the liver. Put your right hand in front of your belly, to belly with the palm and left the cross, again with palm to the body, and mentally pass energy of the sun to the centre of the Earth. After 10-15 minutes, your condition will improve and you'll be happy. If you're sick, imagine that the Sun, the light falls on you like a shower and it seems you are in a sea of light, health, strength, power, goodness, as you immersed in God. If the disease is in place, about a sick place, "Come here, I have work to serve God, go away!" If the disease is all over, you say: "Go away from me!" Will you pass right- handed top-down, bringing your hand to your mouth; and shake forward while you suck for three times. Whatever indisposition you have, when you expose your back to the Sun, the discomfort will disappear. If your discomfort is due to negative thoughts, expose your back to the south and the face to the north. It will not take much time and your discomfort will disappear. If you have caught a cold or a fever, expose your back to the south, to the Sun. They heal all the diseases. If the energies that produced discomfort in you are positive, turn your face to the south and your back to the north and your discomfort will disappear. The good effect of the Sun on man improves arterial blood. The Sun raises the thoughts and emotions with which human blood is purified. If you are angry or hate someone, put your back to the Sun look toward the Earth and it will take the poison that has crept into your blood. The Sun and the Earth are irreplaceable doctors. Mountain sunbaths are preferable because the rhythm of the Sun is not disturbed by the astral thought cloud that envelops the city. When man puts his hands with palms facing the Sun, it can warm the entire body because the heat of nerves runs the entire body. In the future, when the people realise this, they are going to cure themselves with sun rays only. They will know which rays for which diseases and which handicaps could be used. To rejuvenate a man is not a difficult work. Rejuvenation goes according to a special law of nature. Rejuvenation is associated with body recovery of the normal activities of life energy, which centre is the Sun. Vital energy of the Sun we perceive through the air and light. Now many of today's doctors begin to treat various diseases with sunlight. Some of the elements of nature have immortality, which is given to people from time to time. Life Elixir comes from faraway passes through the Sun and descends to the Earth every 2,000 years and brings new life, a new culture, and a new era. Expose your spine to the sun to unclog the nerves, not to have pain. Clogging happen not only in the physical body, but also in the other bodies. All organs of the physical body are related to other objects, about which you almost know nothing. Recently, it is found that at high altitude above the Earth there is a layer of ozone that passes only long ultraviolet and misses short ultraviolet rays as they would destroy everything with its power. What rationality, what expedience reins in nature! There is a reasonable force that watches over everything. There are times when people get hit by the Sun. Is the Sun to blame? The Sun is not guilty, but man has impure blood. Between 11 and 15 o ' clock you should go out with a hat. If your head is healthy and your blood is pure, you can be going even without a hat in the great heat. I have told someone to bake in the Sun. He has baked from 11 o'clock to 12-13 o'clock and he has got sunstroke. Then he tells me: "Teacher, I baked as per your method and I got sunstroke". A thousand times I have told you to bake from 7 to 10 o'clock and not at noon or in the afternoon! In the afternoon you should not bake at all, you should stay in the shade. Sunstroke depends on the sludge inside the brain. In sunstroke the etheric body comes out and leaves the physical body without connection. The head should not be exposed to the Sun a lot, because the brain will suddenly attract solar energy and will not be able to send it to the other parts of the body. You head should be covered with green leafed plant. It is good sunbathing to be made in April, May, June, July and August. The reason that you feel tired, worn out, when the Sun is strong, it is because the vibrations of the sun rays are more intense than the vibrations of your Love, and this applies to the cold as well, if your Love is strong, you will not catch colds although you are lightly dressed. Present people with their bad life cause light that comes from the Sun not to be able to put all the blessings on the Earth. They, therefore, are the reason not to be accepted God's blessings. If we do not put our best as a base and righteousness as a distribution tool and if we do not apply rationality, we cannot rise, but will be like tamed animals. When a man exposes his back to the Sun to heal himself, he should have only bright thoughts in his mind. Get out in the Sun every morning, giving your back to the Sun, at first to the south, then a little to the north, a little to the east and stay like that for one hour from 7 to 8 am. Turn your thoughts to God and say, "God, enlighten my mind! Give health to all the people and with them to me as well. "Then you start to think about the most beautiful things you know. Make this experiment throughout the whole year. You will see that in 99% your experiment will be successful. You are ill, because you do not have the right attitude towards nature. Once you fix your relations with nature, you are not going to get ill any more. Every day the Sun slaps our eyes. There is a slap without love. Let loving hand slaps you, it can give you something, but if slaps you a hand that is not loving, it would bring poison into your life. You say: "More light!" More light, but there will be such bombardment with sunlight that it will blind us. Venus is closer to the Sun and in order to keep from the solar energy and the great love of the Sun, it is wrapped with vapour so that when this energy passes through the vapour to be reduced its power, to be a bit more comfortable to live. This law is correct. Good thoughts and good feelings are a defence against the black rays of the Sun. Morning Sun is not dangerous until about 10:00, but about noon between 11 and 11 and 50 minutes black light may attack you if you're not with awakened consciousness. At the same time it is not good to sleep, do not sleep also in the afternoon. You can have a rest, but not to lie and sleep. When studying the influence of light, you will notice that there are hours in the day, when the Sun sends to the Earth beneficial rays, mainly in the morning until noon. There are times during the day when the Sun is not beneficial to the body. These are the so-called black, negative rays. In order not to fall under their influence, beware not to sleep during the day. The student should not sleep during the day, especially when there act the black rays. If man sleeps during the day, he does not feel well; he is tired, with tired heart. Man can be exposed to sunlight at any time of the day, but his mind must be focused, positive, to absorb the positive rays of the sun. You should concentrate, but you should keep from falling asleep. With the black negative waves of the Sun are coming also earth waves that are harmful to the human body. As you learn the rules of fencing and how to keep from those waves, it is better to bake in the sun in the early hours, no later than noon. Beware of afternoon sunlight. When you want to be treated with the sun, the best hours are from 8 to 10 a.m. Many complain of the strong Sun, say that it acts badly on their bodies. The reason for this is not in the Sun, but in the thoughts and feelings of the people. Evil thoughts and feelings form a dark belt around the Sun that refracts sunlight so that keeps most of them, but remains the so-called "black light" of the Sun. These black rays are the cause of many diseases, and blackening of the people. It may be concluded that the beginning of all diseases lies in the very internal refraction of sunlight. Light that bends downwards always produces painful conditions in the human body. We have had a large tree, an apricot, that when hit by the black rays has dried. We have cut it and it still has sprout from below, but this black ray has destroyed the tree. It is the black rays that destroy. They are with the flow running. Therefore, good thoughts, good feelings are a defence against the black rays of the Sun. If you are not armed with an excellent, pure thought, pure desires excellent and clean deeds always this black light that can attack you. During the day, at noon it is not good to sleep for the sole reason that if you sleep, you may suffer from them. If you sit awake, just as horses sit, it is not dangerous. To lie down in the bed as the old people do, you are at risk. Who has slept at noon and has been awaked indisposed. The reason that the Sun is burning us is the following: around the Earth is formed a black belt from the evaporation of our thoughts, feelings and desires and consequently are formed these scorching rays of the Sun. So we perceive the sun rays by reflection. The sun's rays are a collection of billiards intelligent creatures that come to the Earth on expedition. Any rational creature leaves its signature on the face of the people they call these signatures tanning. A man who descends to the Earth, he will however get dirty from the atmosphere. Take the best light that descends from the Sun: it, after heating us, burns us. This is mud. Black that is born on the face is mud that the solar energy brings out of the body. When solar energy burns man, he is purified. It is necessary a new conception of life. We think that people are bad, that they are bad on purpose. No! Some people are bad without knowing why they are bad. Why do people tan from the Sun? The Sun has a special feature to extract out the bad thoughts and desires of the people, due to which they turn dark. If you want to know what a man is, place him on the direct influence of the Sun. If he turns black completely, then in his thoughts and wishes there is something unhealthy, but if he does not turn black and this is also not good. This shows that this man is not healthy and the Sun is not able to cure him. There should be at least a little skin burnt. But there is a way, when man cannot be blackened by the Sun. What is this way? To transform his thoughts and desires in better ones. If man does not blacken by the Sun, it shows that he is not healthy and the Sun cannot cure him. Between the Sun and the man should be proper metabolism. Blackness caused by the Sun, demonstrates that Sun has derived from the human body all sludges, dirt, all the dense matter. If man does not turn black, the dense matter remains in the body and creates a number of diseases. If you are tanning in the Sun, you've accumulated its energies. Tanning is a sign that you have taken energy from the Sun. You say: "I have tanned; where from comes the blackness?" Now observations have found out that those who tan in the Sun are healthy people. Those who do not tan, it appears that they are sick. There are some diseases that can be treated by the Sun. If you bake, but do not get black, you cannot be treated. Once you become black, you can be treated. Here's a fact that may encourage you: when the Sun is tanning you that can be the diagnosis: you are healthy. These are comparisons, you have not checked them out; you should get them on faith. You can check them out now. You may say: learned men expose these facts. You have to check to what extent they are true. It is not that you become so black that then you cannot become white, like the black people. In them is formed this pigment, which is very durable. I'm talking about blackness that is temporarily formed and then is easily lost again. If the Sun does not burn you, your fate is sealed. All the people that the Sun does not burn turn white and disappear from the world. They are very fragile people. The Sun has the power to pull the black. If you live harmoniously, the black goes out. If the Sun does not withdraw from you the black, you are not in harmony now. So, sometimes I like the black more than the white. In white the black is inside. The black is white inside, black is out. There are people that inside and outside should be white. It is now another Sun. Now would be a new Sun. As it rises, it pulls evil. Nice is the new Sun. That, the new Sun will not burn the people. Then people will be on the outside white and inside white. Under the current conditions man must be black. You can never make a painting with white paint only. If you have a white canvas with black paint you can make a picture, but if you have only a black, picture could not be done. The energies that come from the Sun hide a store of life force, energies of healing. If man wants to use wisely the energy of the Sun, he has to expose his back to the early Sun, before the rising of the Sun. Energies that he will accept at that time are equal to the amount of energy that he would have taken, if he has been exposed to the Sun all day. Even on a cloudy day you can go before the rising of the Sun and to concentrate your thoughts in the direction of the rising Sun. Clouds prevent only to see the Sun, but its vital energies pass through them. No external force is able to counteract the Sun's energy. When the weather is sunny throw the hats and the umbrellas, do not be afraid of sunstrokes; go out for 3-4 hours bareheaded. Summer hats are very thin, the thin fabric and made transparent to allow sunlight to penetrate. In the mountains, when the Sun is not very strong, you can go bareheaded. Each beam, fallen on the man, is absorbed by his body and then comes back as a dead light. You need to be under the influence of direct sunlight and not indirect. Do not stay in heavy shade. The light that passes through the glass has an influence, but the one that goes straight has another influence. Open the windows when the Sun shines, where there is little moisture. It is good to have silk curtains at the windows, but it is even better not to have any curtains. There are certain hours during the day, when the windows should be opened. Between 10 and 14 keep your windows open. Open all the windows on hot days; let the air and the light enter throughout the entire day. In the evening, just before sunset, close the windows. You are ill, but you have no money to heal yourself. I give you a check for free and I sign it with both my hands. It is in the following: go out every morning and expose to the Sun, putting your back at first to the south, then to the north for a while, then to the east and stay like that for an hour between 7 and 8 in the morning. Concentrate your mind to God and say: “God, enlighten my mind. Give health to all the people and to me with them. “ Then start to think about the best things that you know. Make an experiment and you will get convinced that there is a rational Power in the world that defines the life of all the living creatures. There is someone to care about you.

Influences Why when eating bread, man is not to think about the source from whence it comes? As he thinks about this, man connects to the category creatures of the Sun that send their energy to create bread. Different creatures send different solar energy and to specific locations. There are creatures of the Sun, which are specifically interested in Bulgaria. They provide for her special budget: how much wheat, fruits how much to send. They determine exactly how many children are to be born each year, how many people to get married and how many people to die. However, they are interested in the way of use of these goods. You will say that the Sun is only a fiery body and nothing more. Besides fiery body the Sun presents a set of bright, rational creatures. Residents of the Sun live in great abundance, due to which they do not worry about anything. Their task is to send blessings on the entire solar system. They set the budget of all beings, of all people of all countries and peoples of all mankind, of all the planets. On the Sun there is an angel who rules the Earth, and every year it makes its calculations: the budget that can be allocated on the Earth at that time. This angel, making its accounts each year determines how much revenue can be allocated either to France, or to England, either to Russia or to any of the smaller states. Above is determined how many liters of rain to be sent to the Earth, how many children, male and female, to be born, how many apples, pears and other fruits to be born in a given year, etc. Everything is ordered from above. You will say, "God orders these things." Yes, God instructs them, but he has his servants that He uses. God is not a servant of the people to order all these things. What makes these inhabitants of the Sun from morning to evening to deal with their civilisation and culture, to take the time to send wealth, welfare to the people of the Earth? An entire budget has the Sun for the Earth. There is collected a meeting that sets the budget of the Earth. For all others is sent huge amounts of light, heat, then food, energy. All the food has come from the Sun. In the solar system live the most rational creatures. They distribute the energy of the Sun throughout the entire solar system, when how much to send. They know how many people there are on the Earth, they know their names. They know the Bulgarians they know what budget they have. They know England, France and Russia, all countries. They know how many seas and oceans are there on the Earth, how many beetles and plants there are, they know everything. I do not want to convince you in that you do not need to be convinced. I think what it is - it is, there is nothing to prove. If there intelligent life exists, it exists. If there is Sun, there is, if there is no Sun, there is not. Because there is rational life, the Sun shines. If there is no rational life, the Sun will disappear. If there is no rational life, the Earth will be darkened. If the Earth has not been darkened, it is because rationality is there, there is rational life. The Sun is well located for us, this is seen by the energy it sends to the Earth, the good deeds that it everyday prepares, because without this energy, life is unthinkable. Solar energy is alive, conscious. If we start thinking about it so we will be able to take inside us this energy and it will produce in us a conscious and regular process of growing. We could say that the entire solar system has a total pulse that beats in all creatures. There is only one beat into the bloodstream. From this heart is regulated pulse of all living creatures. I'm talking about the Sun from the viewpoint of a higher science. From this point of view the Sun is not only rough matter. From this point of view the Earth has a soul that lives and to which the material Earth represents the body. And in the Sun lives a great spirit. The exterior of the Sun is what we see. Spirit is the rational home in the Sun. It is who sends everything to the Earth. Prominent adepts have long shown that sunspots affect life on the Earth. These spots have started to appear, as people have started to sin. When people correct their life and sunspots will disappear. Recently in the "Peace" there has been an article. Bulgarian newspapers collect such occult things. So, in the "Peace" they clarify what sunspots are due to. After bringing order to the current scientific information for the spots it finally brings the concepts of old east adept scholars. They believe that these spots are due to the angels that come from the Sun to bring the blessings of God in the universe. So angels, returning from their expedition to convey that they have fulfilled the will of God, when entering into the Sun they open big holes. The spots are made by them. The author says: "Angels by entering the aura of the Sun with their strive for traveling at high speed, these flames climb up and open up great avenues on which they return to the Sun." And these openings scientists get it as black spots. This period of the departing of angels and their return to it is in 11 years. All the Sun is wrapped with high temperature and these spots in the Sun are those doors that the creatures of the Sun use to go out and return. We see how the Sun has risen this morning, how it has come out. Scientists have suggested that it is a ball, matter, and no consciousness in it. It is a matter of hot rebellion. The biggest rebels are in the Sun. There are such lava bursts to 200-300 thousand kilometres. There are around 100, 150.180 outbreaks. If we are on the Sun we will be thrown away somewhere and no one can see us. There is something in the Sun, which boils, but it is not like that. In the Sun there is a desire to Love to send its aid to those who need it. Consequently there is an inner race, who to go ahead to serve. If you could see, you would see: it is thousands of rational creatures who come out as sun rays, dressed in their robes, run all over the universe and spread light. Then they show again in the Sun. There is a theory that these spots that appear on the Sun are angels who return to solar doors open them and people see only the dark doors. They have done their job, so dark and large openings are there. Our Sun is populated by many rational creatures, not like us with such bodies. The perturbations that make these spots Hindus explain it this way: when they go, these rational creatures to help throughout the solar system, they have doors that open and they go out. Sunspots are openings through which is sent condensed energy to the Earth always with a certain purpose. This energy is sent to the Earth with such enormous speed that if it comes straight to it will sweep everything with itself. So between the Earth and the Sun there are several transformers that perceive that solar energy and transform it, reduce its speed and then scroll it down to the Earth. Now scientists have found that the continents of America and Europe every 11 years are approaching and moving away. This period coincides with the sunspots. Eleven years since they quarrel and move away, on the 12-th again they approach. This is permanently happening as harmonics is permanently moving away and approaching. It is interesting how they have found it. They have found that with 12 m they are approaching and moving away. From Sunspots arise large magnetic storms. On these spots depends the fertility of the Earth. When there are more spots on the Sun, the year is more fruitful. When there are more spots on the Sun, more people are getting married and more are dying then happen large perturbations in the nervous system, heart disruptions, cerebral apoplexy, pain in the spine, in the kidneys, people are not raving. Then take place a heart attack, apoplexy of the brain, spine hurts. When the spots appear pain in a spine and in the kidneys, and a stomachache and headaches, there are all sorts of pain. People become mad. They have noticed it. If the spots disappear a little, change is going. The more the spots on the Sun are, there is more rain on the Earth, and there is more fertility. Sometimes it's colder and sometimes - hotter. There are reasons for warm summer nights. Some years there is more moisture, sometimes not. Now learned men demonstrate that moisture on the Earth depends on the sunspots. When the Sun has more spots on the Earth there is more moisture and years are more fertile when the Sun has less spots, there is less moisture. When there are more spots on the Sun, there are more marriages, more births, people are happy, traders earn more. When there are fewer spots, heavier people live less, there is rain. Researchers can see the reasons that determine the social change on the Earth, good conditions, good life, and fertility. While there is fertility there is happy life as well. If no fertility the matters immediately complicate. I say, it is not the money that determines the future conditions. The most important is the food that comes from above. Money is a tool. Food without money is possible, but money without food is not possible. So I say: people have come to the point that some financiers of the past when making their operations have been asking the astronomers whether will there be spots on the Sun. If there are spots, then they make their buying operations. When they say that there will be no spots, they refrain to make stock transactions, not to fail. To the people has come to their mind to use the spots of the Sun. Then, when the Sun has spots, more people are marrying and more are dying. When there are no spots on the Sun, fewer people are getting married and fewer die. These are data now. I will not bore you with statistics. Large perturbations are produced in the nervous system; some weak organisms cannot survive. "Go ahead!"- says Christ to his disciples. Hearing these words, you say: "What should we do? We do not have enough money, years of famine are coming. "Fear not, hungry years come from the Sun, to the Sun they depend. When there are no spots on the Sun, there are more lean years; when on the Sun appeared abundantly spots, on the Earth there is abundant food. So, there are two situations: when on the Sun there are no spots, people live a quiet life, but the food is less, there are more poor people, more die. When the spots on the Sun increase, abundance is greater: more food, but misery and perturbations are also more. Marriages are more, but there are more divorces, more Love, but there are more quarrels as well. The people are not guilty; the Sun is to blame for this. Scientists have made some connection between the Sun spots and events, catastrophes that are on the Earth: famine, diseases, earthquakes, wars, suffering, etc. According to some scholars sunspots are large tunnels from which radiates enormous amount of energy to all the planets. Once this energy is spent and the spots of the Sun disappear. These spots not only bring misfortune but happiness as well. In general it is noticed that sunspots have plenty of happiness and misery, joys and sorrows. When people face life and sunspots will disappear. There are spots on the Sun, showing the sinful life on Venus, on Jupiter, on Mars, on Sirius, the brightest spots differ from one another. Those, who show life on the Earth, are as black as charcoal. Now you sit and you can go to one prophet to tell you that this year will be for you happy or unhappy. What will tell you that prophet? One year may be happy to Bulgaria to Serbia miserable, or happy for France, for Germany miserable, or happy for America to India unhappy. Good in the world is not equally distributed. Goods are allocated periodically according to the state of the Sun. Modern astronomers want to find out at least partly what caused this breakdown of the good, but they cannot understand. U.S. astronomers have one theory that happy years depend on the spots of the Sun. When there are more sunspots and the year is happier, if the spots are lost, and the year is not so happy. But these are just guesses, hypotheses; they are still not scientific truths. A coincidence is that when there are sunspots and the years are more fertile, and when the spots disappear and fertility declines. For example, after two years there shall be a small curve in fertility. Whether this is true or not will see after two years. This is not a prediction, but periodically in nature there is a law according to which benefits are distributed. This law is also relevant for the organic life. Certain times in your life can be happy and some times can be miserable. It depends on your sun. Everyone has a sun inside, on which depend fertile and unfertile years of his life. What exists in the big world; exists also in the little world. Whatever presents our Sun in our solar system, the sun presents such thing in life. So everyone has a sun that sets the happiest years of his life. This sun some call "human spirit" but I would use the word "sun" for that life-giving Sun, which brings all the goods to people and contributes to the development of his faculties and feelings. Success of man depends on his talents and abilities. The Sun has more than 10 magnetic zones that surround the Earth, cross it in different directions. Over the centuries these various zones acted on people as created the current selfish culture - culture of power. Other belts now come from the Sun. They prepare the conditions for a softer Culture - Culture of Love. If you do not put yourself under the beneficial influence of these rays, in these zones, there is nothing you can do. If your mind is well developed in the brain through a prism you will decompile the sun rays, you'll get new bands of light. Today the Sun is not as it has been a thousand years ago. Mystics have known this and have expressed it in the following thoughts: "Love God," "Be good", "Love the Truth." Flowers have a better knowledge of the Sun than the people today. Light in itself carries immortality. Everything is concentrated light. Fruits, plants – everything is light. Under the influence of the Sun cosmic consciousness in man awakens. The Sun is what awakens thought in the human mind. The Sun is alive, collective entity that has cosmic consciousness. It is thought. When this Divine cosmic consciousness in man awakes, the Sun begins to think about it; then man is healthy and lives long. Man who wants to have life in himself, to have a perfect body to be happy and cheerful, to have heat, should be sure to go out and watch the Sun, to pay attention to it, to follow its path, to benefit from its energy. Man who uses more of its energy, he has warm blood. Man, who uses more of the Moon, has cold blood, is cool, cold and cold- blooded. Warm-blooded are associated with the Sun. The power of the human mind comes from the Moon, and the warmth of life comes from the Sun. The Moon and the stars are the negative side of life, what takes only. The Sun is positive, it is the representative of God, He always gives; He takes nothing from humans. Every time man is willing to be given something, the Moon acts. When he has a desire to give something; the Sun acts. When you are sad, it is the Moon, when you are joyful, it is the Sun. When you love, it's the Sun, when you do not love, it's the Moon. When you're happy, that's the Sun when you're not happy, it's the Moon. Now, what does hatred mean? "Omra" this is that compresses matter, what rarifies - that is love. Love always rarifies, hatred always thickens. What's wrong with compression? Sometimes you curdle milk, don't you? Milk is often rarified, then you curdle it to make it dense. Bulgarian boasts with yogurt, with the way of densification of milk. The new in the world is the rising Sun, and the rest is the Sun that sets. It is a law of nature. This law is not asserted by me only, but by every mother and by every father. When a young woman and young man get married, the first child born in the family home, is the rising Sun, the hope of their future. The strongest influences are the influences of the life-giving Sun. The solar influence I call it the source of Love. If a man is in harmony with the Sun, if he understands that the Sun is a life force, and the worst will feel that this life-giving magnetism enters into his body, and renews it. You, if you do not live according to the laws of the Sun immediately your life shortens, the budget of your life shortens. Begin diseases. The budget of your mind shortens and starts clutter in the mind. Shortens the budget of your heart and begins the clutter in your heart. Sits a man who has passed from 50 to 60 years of age, regrets that in his youth has not lived the way he should. And he says: "I have had to live a little differently!" For example, has not gone to the dance. He regrets that as a young man has not played a dance, has not lived, but even now he has become an old man and sits and regrets. Another has gone and has eaten and has drunk, and now regrets that a lot has eaten and has drunk. He says: "I should not have!" One regrets not eating and drinking, as he should, while the other regrets eating and drinking more than he should. Now, what is the measure? There is a measure. So in our life there is a light, there is one main thought that dictates how a man should live. Each one of you should come to this light. You cannot have a sublime, ideal life, if you do not have a sample. For example, you want to be beautiful, but what is the shape of a pretty face? What is your ideal for a pretty face? Because if your face is like the Moon rounded you will have the nature of the Moon. If your face is like the Sun, you will have the character of the Sun. The Sun and the Moon are two images slightly more affordable. The other planets we do not know what they are. At first you have to get an internal idea. What has been, for example, the image of Christ? Christ bears some features of the Moon, and is wearing the best features of the Sun. He has been wearing some features of Venus, the best features of Venus. For, if we talk about the Sun we must have that intelligence to appreciate life. Solar types appreciate life. And those who have the face of the Moon, they have a big imagination. Some of you pass your golden age, some - silver, some - copper, some - iron. All people are not in the same phase. Someone says: "Plow, plow!" Someone says: "Power, power!" Somebody says: "Money, good money!" Someone says:"Rationality is needed''. Rationality in man in what age is it? Rationality, this is the golden age of man. To be rational, it's the golden age. Since coming to power, this is the Silver Age, when coming to money; it's the copper age. And if you come to the plow, if you take the hoe and you say: "You have to dig'' - you are in the Iron Age. You say: "I have nothing to do; I have to carry this hoe." There is a period of 400 years - 100 years for the golden age, 100 years for the silver, 100 years for the bronze and 100 years for the iron. There is a periodicity of 22 years. In 22 years, things are repeated. Then take 24 hours a day. In 24 hours a day, some of the hours correspond to your golden age, some to the silver, some to the copper and some to the iron. In the golden age, you have already connection with the angels of the Sun. In the Silver Age you are in connection with the energies of the Moon. They are two lights that play an important role. They polarise each other. I say: man must come to that, to the rational in the world, to adopt the great influences that operate continuously. Every day, for example, it may be determined when the solar energy is most favourable for the recovery of health. Any good disposal that comes to man is a zenith. All good influences, all good things are due to the Sun. And all other influences are already reflections. This, which gives Venus or Mars are reflections. Impacts of Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter are all reflections, this is not the reality. The only real thing in the world, from this point of view, is only one solar type. Solar types are optimistic. They are full of love, they never die of atherosclerosis; they cannot become ill. They cannot be ignorant. They cannot be infidels, because they have knowledge. How could you doubt in the reality that you can try every day? Rational is not in the Sun, but it penetrates everywhere and every day we can be in contact with it. In man there are some centres through which he can experience this essence. You will talk to the Rational, without seeing it. When you contact with Rational, you can ask it: "Tomorrow I want to go to Vitosha, to Cherni vrah, what will the weather be?" It says: "It will be nice." "Cloudy will it be?" "No, it will be clear. "" will it be windy? "" No, it will be quiet "You go, and you check it and it happens, as you have been said. Once you check it, twice, a hundred times ... Another time you see a tree, a rock, you explore them objectively. Once you have studied nature for 10-20 years, you suddenly hit a stone - there is something you cannot explain. You go to the Rational and you say: "I have a question that I can not solve." You immediately concentrate inside yourself and come to you pictures as if you talk to yourself. Immediately everything becomes clear. When the Rational speaks to you, you shut up, you should not boast to people. If you boast to people, all this will melt and you will come back to the simple understanding of life. As an insight into the lives of scientists, artists and musicians, you can see that they are under the influence of the Sun. They are ideas people. When I say that a man must be connected with the energies of the Sun I do not mean only the physical Sun that rises and sets on the horizon, I mean essentially the Divine Sun that rises in the soul of man and never sets. What does the word "unit" mean? The Sun always gives units. It is the seed. If you go to the Sun, it gives units. If you are on the Earth, seed this seed. From this unit can earn units as you want, but will earn alone. Everyone has a sun that defines the happy years in his life. Think of heaven, the risen Christ to be conduits of God's Love. You should think of Christ, He will think of you. The relationship between Him and you will be the same as that between the Sun and you. If you love the Sun, you'll have plenty of light, heat and moisture. You need even at night to know where the Sun is, to see it, to perceive its light, you should know if it is below or above and where exactly it is. A man to have healthy eyes he should know how to perceive light. Then you have not only to watch as the sun rises, but you should watch the sun and at night, you should know where it is. Where you are looking for the sun at night? Scientifically where are you looking for? The simple man thinks that it is underground. Besides, it is not. The Sun orbits, it moves in a horizontal line. In perspective, it is apparently said that the Sun is above. This is a plane on which the sun moves. Therefore, where is the Sun? It is coming now to show the east, when it is coming, it is as if there is a plane – it rises above. So this hoop as shown. Now I say: in a case so you can see where the Sun is, by becoming a night, to know where it is, to know where you can find the Sun. You should know to you perceive light when the Sun is up and when the Sun is down. Occult students need to know these things. At nighttime you should know how to perceive light. It is only for you to know, not to preach to others. But when you have an experience and you are hundred percent sure that it is so; you should know how to pass it. The currents that come from the Sun penetrate throughout the solar system. Rational man uses only those hours, days and months that are good for him, and those who bear his misfortunes he spends them in fasting and prayer. The Sun affects blood circulation, breathing and thought of man. Highlighting objects and making them visible the Sun awakens thought. Man begins to think, to observe, to study the objective world. There is another sun - in the man himself, which serves as a guide. It has different names. Some call it the Divine principle in man, other - bright ideas, etc. As students, you will want to get rid of the word "old." You will not think you're an old man, but you are sent to learn. As I ask how old you are, you say, "I'm 33 years old". Those who have not come to this age will keep in mind their 21st year, and those who have passed these years, will keep in mind in 33. How old are you? 33 years old. How so? Well, my age does not change’. Then I ask: if you have 33 solar years, how many of our years is it equal to? At 660 million years. So we have to be consistent. We will show people that we are of those who do not age. To live a solar year 20 million our years are required. We are in the early 21st year or the beginning of the 33-rd year. Coming years, it will be 21 or 33 years again. You say: "How so?" We need to measure our lives with the life of the Sun, not the Earth's life. We grow old prematurely because we are separated from the solar energy; we are connected with the energy of the Earth. Between the Sun and the human body exists such a connection like the one between God and the human soul - without this connection man cannot develop. The mind of man can flourish only under the influence of God's Spirit. Man has two poles, two antipodes, to which it aspires: one is the centre of the Sun; the other is the centre of the Earth. The mind of man must be connected with the centre of the Sun. Only in this situation man can have a bright, beautiful thought. Is the human mind connected with the centre of the Earth, his mind is downward. Downward thought is the cause of misery to the people. If the Sun with its influence would be away from man, any activity it would cease. This initial force in the world, which is now acting - "Akasa" - it has created the human brain, thought and sound. If this force comes to mind and the thought is strengthened clear, then, that means you have accepted from this primal force, but if the thought weakens, you will contact the Sun to perceive that prana, to calm, to enhance mental activity. You must contact this solar energy to be always disposed and satisfied with everything. If a farmer can concentrate his thought to the Sun, so to make his energy to his proper field, thus it will impregnate better, will give better results than if he would have fertilised it. A rational man can fertilise his field only with his thought much better than if he would have fertilised with any salts. Now you go bareheaded. What is the instigator reason? Instigator reason for this is that by wearing a hat, less energy and light you accept. Now people go bareheaded to receive more light to feel better. They say: "With these hats we have grown stupid." People now throw their hats to get smarter. Just like as you enter the church you should take off your hat, isn't it? The more solar energy in you accept, the more softness and magnetism you will develop inside you. Then, wherever you enter, everybody will like you. Bulgarians believe in crawling and such people really bring something nice.

The University of the Sun The most beautiful place to live is the Sun. There is an even climate there, tempered. Adepts of the first degree can visit it. As resurrect, and you will have a ticket to the Sun. You should study the heavenly language, this Divine language that man has forgotten. As we study the scriptures, we see what connection there is between the Heaven and the Earth, but subsequently the conditions have changed. Life of the Sun and is known today to some people, but they are not allowed to speak. A great man should not only go to school on the Earth, but should go to another school - and they do not speak. Funny, if you tell people today that you have done another school on the Sun. They will think that you are crazy. A man to steal is not cracked, but to say that has studied at the school on the Sun, they would say that he is cracked. Lying to others is not cracked, but to say that has studied on the Sun is cracked. We live on the Sun from morning till night. He says: "Is it possible that you have been on the Sun?" He has never left it. He lives in the Sun, but does not want to admit it. The Earth for thousands of years is trying to imagine that it is out of the Sun. One mistake is that it wants to get away from the Sun, it revolves around the Sun. Now do not get things literally. The Sun is not only what we see. Under "Sun" we understand that inner rationality in which we live. Supreme Intelligence in the world, it is the Sun. You want to become saints - that is not possible. Until you enter the group of all people who are bright, you cannot be holy. You cannot be a saint, if not go to the Sun. Has anyone gone on the Sun? There are people who have walked. On the Earth there are at least 4-5 people who have walked on the Sun. Historically can be proved that they have gone and have returned. The warmth of the Sun is outside, but inside the Sun there is an excellent atmosphere - spring gardens, the most beautiful living is there. From Bulgaria no one has been there, but there are Hindus who have walked. From Europe only Swedenborg has gone. He has walked on Jupiter and Venus. To believe in these things, you must have specific abilities and feelings. The Sun has several deputies Bulgarians and Bulgarian women MPs (Members of Parliament) who represent Bulgaria. The Sun has several Bulgarian students and women students sent there to learn. Who are they? This is a spiritual secret. If man can concentrate his mind so strongly to the Sun, he can raise his body wherever he wants. On the Earth there are some currents that come from the Sun and if you get in touch with them, they will raise you, but the smallest doubt will stop the motor. There are saints who have studied this law and have raised their bodies. This art can be studied, but if people know about it, they are going to stand in your way with their thoughts. The conditions on the Sun are very different from those on the Earth. Man by no means can go to the Sun with his current body. If a man weighs 60 kilograms, and goes on the Sun his body would weigh millions of pounds. How can he move on the Sun with this huge mass of himself? The life on the Sun is beautiful, but it is not yet accessible to the people of the Earth. Now as you are, you cannot go to the Sun. Why not? With such a body you cannot go. Because on the Sun there is 16,000 tons pressure, if you go on the Sun, you will become the thinnest paper that exists in the world. Or in scientific language said you will turn into a gaseous state. Your thought should not be attracted to the Earth. Man wants to go to the Sun, but there should be perfect Love. With Love he may go and withstand any pressure. In the present state to go is a great misfortune. Even sometimes to think about the Sun, it is a pretty hard work. Why do not you believe you can go to the Sun? I can tell you: because you love for the Sun is less than your love for the Earth. And with me my love for the Sun is greater than my love for the Earth. This is the only difference. If you love for the Sun is greater than that for the Earth, and you can go to the Sun. All things happen by the law of Love. The language you like, or the subject you love, you will always be the first. One subject for which your love is less and your success will be to the average. The same goes for life. If your love for life is not so strong your life will not be so good. The one who has knowledge he can freely be transported from the Earth to the Moon and to the Sun. After 20 minutes he can be transferred to the Sun. It will not take him more than half an hour. After half an hour he would go to the Sun and come back. And as he goes to the Sun, his heart rate would almost stop. No heartbeat will be noticed. The heart has three pulses. Only the first pulse of the heart is known to people. The second and the third pulses they still do not know. There are three types of breathing: normal, which is related to the first pulse, then a second and a third breath. Breathing is the first purely physical breathing, while in the second we breathe achievement. You say, "Tell it to us!" How should I say it? If I'm talking water and raising the fish and say, "There is a world out of the water, there are creatures that live very freely fly around in the air," they say, "Bring us!" But if you bring them out, with these gills they will die. At first you need to transform their gills to enter the new area and know how to breathe with lungs. Fish have not learned to breathe with lungs. And the difference between man and fish is that the fish does not know how to breathe with lungs. It's all about breathing. The other life is not separate from that. This life comes as a part of it. That world is the entire life. We on the Earth are a part of that life. Life is not only here on the Earth. There are so many billions of suns with their planets and moons! Do you think they are just deserts? Even there is organic life on some of the heavenly bodies. Even on Mars there are creatures, elsewhere there are even more advanced creatures that have channels. On Venus there are creatures. A Russian woman wrote a story about the inhabitants of Venus. This is not just a statement, it is a reality, but according to the conditions that are there, there is a variety in the external forms of life. Some go even further and say that there is life in the centre of the Sun. The warmth of the Sun is from the outside and inside the Sun there is a great atmosphere - spring gardens. There is a sumptuous life there. The best life in the solar system is in the Sun. These claims are now. You may wonder whether it is so. Some even dare say that they have gone to the Sun and have returned, but they are not from Bulgaria. From Bulgaria have not yet gone, but there are Hindus who claim to have been to the Sun. Hindu scholars adepts argue that in order to go to the Sun, man has to stop his pulse completely and then, when he comes back he needs to be awaken. If you want, you can check this, but whether they will give you now to go from the Earth to the Sun? Because the borders are closed and a lot of money is needed. If you are willing to accept the citizenship of the Sun, to renounce all earthly life, they will take you. Otherwise you will go back. They do not want to have such anarchists as there are here. There cannot be anarchy. There is so much land for cultivation; there is so much money that you can carry them with donkeys. On the Sun there is no polygyny; monogamy exists there; if you have the idea for many women they will immediately expel you out. If you bring to the Sun an icon or an idol they will return you back. No newspapers, no icons, no pictures! If you want on the Sun to shoot someone he will come to visit you and say, "Look at me alone," but you are not allowed to photograph, if you photograph, they will persecute you in general terms. Then on the Sun there are no toilets like ours. There is a high temperature at which excrements are immediately purified and there is no smell. You will go to at least 100 km and return clean. In this orbit, everything is cleared. Some learned men write in their notes what is there on the Sun. I do not speak what is in that world, I am talking about a physical world that is advanced and is close to the spiritual world. After going through all of the solar systems of the material world you will enter the Sun and from that point forward you could be candidates for the Divine world. Once you learn all the science of the Sun you can return to the Earth and live properly. Then you will have a model. You say that you have to live in Love, in Wisdom and Truth. But what Love is, Wisdom and Truth you do not know. Each has its own model. When you go once to the Sun, you will become at clear with these concepts.

Life on the Sun Suns are homes for all higher hierarchies, and planets are homes for us, the humans. Many modern scientists say that the Sun has no inhabitants; there is only fire there. They do not even suspect that the energy that the Sun gives us is due to the free minds in the Sun, who generously give of their energy. Light that the Sun sends us is the result of rational, bright creatures. By the qualities that the different creatures have you know what planet they come from. In the future all creatures will gather on the Sun to form a new type. The Sun is the centre, which collects all creatures, bearers of good and light. This is usually a claim that to be scientific, must be well justified and proven. It is said, "God has created Heaven and the Earth." You look at the sky and wonder: is it so? If a modern student enters the lab and sees all the tools he will say, "This is not for me." This has created the human mind. If you go to the Sun, is populated with men slightly differently designed not with such forms. Their ideal is greater because they are not engaged in private affairs. The residents of the Sun have their story. I do not want to drive you to believe. If you do not believe I will be happy because if you believe, you will say: "This is a fairy tale." If you believe, you will say: "How it is possible there is a molten fire on the Sun, if there are residents there, they will melt!" In the Sun you can live much better. Scientists claim that there is a very high heat. We hardly endure 39, 40, 42 degrees. On the Sun the residents endure a heat maybe 35 million degrees. Therefore, if a solar resident comes to the Earth, he will find himself in that great conflict with the cold that he will find. They lose their strength and that is why so rarely they decide to descend to the Earth. The warmth of the Sun is only on the surface, but inside it there are excellent living conditions. These people of the Sun live in eternal spring. The surface of the Sun has thousands of degrees of heat. Now in you mind will appear the thought: "Why is this heat only on the surface of the Sun?" It is to keep it from other suns, not to be attacked by anyone. Therefore the Sun has an outside armour that protects it from the attack of other suns. I do my research and I see that the world has not been created, as scientists speak. That on the Sun there is a fire that has 25 million or 50 million degrees heat. The interior of the Sun is solid, there are creatures that live outside, and because there is an invasion from another sun, they put out a fortress, it is high heat fuse - means measures do not attack them. And suns fight sometime. Because they fight, that is why God has provided, has put them over long distances. The closest to our Sun is at such a distance that it takes the light three years to travel, to come to it. In this space can put three thousand systems like our solar system. God has put this space, so that no conflicts could be between these two suns. It is excluded a war to open between the one and the other sun. Then high costs are required. Now you may ask: "But these advanced creatures, what need they have to fight?" I will ask you: that king's daughter, who lives lavishly with her father, what makes her find a beloved? There is no scarcity. King's daughter is assured to live, to grow mentally. But she says: "I have to get married." Life on the Sun is the most perfect life in the entire solar system. If some residents of the planets want to copy the concepts of life should go to the Sun to see. I believe that the surface of the Sun's photosphere is at 101.52 billion degrees heat, but somewhere it reaches 50 million degrees or more. Because there is a danger one sun to attack another sun, therefore this heat serves as protection against attacks. Because the creatures on Sun are very advanced, sometimes there can be an invasion, an attack against the Sun, therefore they put such great defences to repel these enemies. Sometimes might attack them from the Earth. These are only assumptions for now. I say that the Sun has an area so favourable; there is an area where there is perfect life. Our Earth is represented there. A whole Earth is in the Sun that lives there and is similar to our earthly ideal. And Venus is represented there, and Mars is represented, and Jupiter is presented, all the planets in the Sun have an excellent life. According to scientists today, the sun has 6,000 thousand degrees of heat. According to some others, it has warmth of about 24-25 thousand degrees. For others, there is more, even up to 25 million degrees of heat. The smallest heat of the sun is about 6,000 thousand degrees. In the heat of the sun residents plow, marry, give birth to their children, send them to school, etc. You say - how is it possible at this temperature in this heat so great to have a life, people can multiply and flourish? You are right to ask. The fact is that on the Sun there is life at 6,000 thousand degrees of heat at least. However, Life on the Sun is not what life is like on the Earth. Speaking of this high heat of the Sun, we understand those conditions under which can have senior life. Our life is a lower life, because we can hardly stand the heat of about 42 degrees. What can be claimed by a person who cannot withstand heat over 42 degrees? They say that a man has been great, has been a saint. Thank you for such a saint who dies at 42 degrees, thank you for such a genius who dies at 42 degrees. And thank you for this professor, for such a scholar who dies at 42 degrees. Where is the doctrine, where is the sanctity of this man? As you put an egg in a heat of 42 degrees, it emerges, not dying. As put at even more heat, it can be roasted and man put on 42 degrees of heat, dies. Some say: "Imagine that a person has high temperature around 42 degrees. What will become of him?" You say, "Are there people on the Sun?" The people that live on the Sun are angels. They go out; they move in the entire solar system and regulate life on the Earth. They go to all the planets and go back to the Sun. Sometimes they go to other solar systems. They go out on regiments, and again return. Creatures that live on the Sun are rational, they move in space, in the Divine consciousness. These rational creatures have exactly dressed the Sun in bright, nice clothes and are continuously moving around it, so that some beings would lower level not try to get into it. If they try to get into the Sun, they throw them out. And our Earth is one of the creatures, the Sun has thrown outside. Once in the past it has rebelled against the Sun and the Sun has thrown it out of itself. And all the planets, which are now outside the Sun, have been driven out of it. Scientists create various theories about the formation of planets, but I tell them that the Sun has ever driven them out of itself and teaches them today. There are planets that are millions of miles away from the Sun. What laws keep them in space? It is the law of gravity. Yes, there is something that attracts people to a common centre. This centre is cosmic, the Divine consciousness, whose activities are uninterruptible. You want to become saints. It is impossible. Until you enter the group of all people who are bright, you cannot be holy. You cannot be saints if you do not go to the Sun. Light comes from the Sun. There is light on the Sun. This light that is transmitted is a reflection of the sunlight. These creatures living in the Sun, are so intelligent, so intense is their thought. Thoughts that they send are light on the Earth. The entire Sun is a rational being. These are countless beings that send their energy. Each angel has turned his thought to someone on the Earth. All the elements that exist on the Earth, they exist on the Sun as well, because the Earth has come out of the Sun and as well as all the planets. There are places in the Sun that burn; there are places that do not burn. The Sun has all climates. The best climate is there. The Sun has some areas where everything could melt. There are refrigerations, where man can relax; there are valleys and fruit trees. I do not want you to believe it, I only guess. And there are rivers and water running, thousands of times cleaner than the water on the Earth. If we have a bottle of solar water, then all the people in Bulgaria would rejuvenate if we give each of them only one drop of it. When you go to the Sun, you will see a million times more beautiful mountains and fields. There are mountains several thousand kilometres long and no poverty like this here. It is impossible for people to quarrel, they have more than they need and when they see someone they are happy and willing to give. Giving makes the creatures feel joyful. Sometimes, if a solar resident notices that here you are falling in trouble, he flies from the Sun and he raises you up. It costs him a few seconds, then he returns again. It is a pleasure for him that has descended and has made a small favour. Small mysteries are knowledge of the Earth and the secrets of the Sun are the big mysteries. Creatures that live in the Sun, by their intelligence, by their thoughts develop this enormous heat, which is in the photosphere of the Sun or in its aura. The Sun only produces fire, without being a fire itself. You cannot imagine what strength, what energies hide in the Sun, which emits light that moves with speed 300,000 kilometres per second. And yet, thousands of years have passed, since the sun moves through space without reducing its energy. The energy that comes from the Earth develops some heat. We need this heat. In the Sun live rational beings that have completely different body, not ours. They are creatures that withstand high temperatures. The fire, which is the Sun, seems to them very nice. In this fire, they walk freely as walked the three youths in the fiery furnace. These creatures are experiencing pleasantness in this high temperature, in this fire, and we wonder how they can live in this fire. Without fire there is no life. This fire is in steps. Our body withstands thirty-seven degrees. When it comes to forty degrees temperature, it is already sick. At one hundred degrees man is already completely singed, and at a thousand degrees man evapourates, nothing remains of him. There are creatures that feel well at a thousand degrees. At two thousand degrees they feel even better; at three thousand degrees they feel even much better. When it comes up to a hundred thousand degrees or one million, they even inspire. When entering into the Divine world, in the Divine fire that creature melts and nothing unclean remains of it. In the Divine flame everything unclean disappears and remains only the reality of things. Only in this situation man understands the inner meaning of life. Living on the Sun is ten times better than living on the Earth. There are much nicer fruits there than on the Earth. Wheat grains and all the sweet fruits show what the people of the Sun are. If you look at the Sun as a body, the exterior and interior is wrapped with a diamond coating - a smooth ball, which has one million kilometres in diameter. The population is of rational creatures, all dressed in such a garment. The Moon has 200 degrees of cold, and on the Sun the heat is above 35 million degrees. Inside the Sun sublime beings live in beauty and grandeur. The Sun has mountains higher than the Himalayas; inside the Sun there is life. I can give you a theory that the heat of the Sun is only on the surface, but inside it there are excellent living conditions. There the people of the Sun live in eternal spring. The surface of the Sun has thousands of degrees of heat. Now in you will appear in mind: "Why is this heat only on the surface of the sun?" It keeps other suns away, not to be attacked by anyone. Therefore the Sun on the outside is with an armour that protects it from the attacks of other suns. While pass this barrier, they will see a miracle. If any of the solar systems and the Earth, decide to make an invasion on the Sun, to fight with it, what will happen? The nearest star to the Sun is Alpha Centauri. The light of this star that travels with 300,000 kilometres per second needs 3000 years to come to the Earth. The inhabitants of the Sun are very ambitious. When making something they make it in large scale. The inhabitants of the Earth deal with small things. The creatures that live in the Sun are angels. They walk out through the entire solar system and regulate life on the Earth. They go to all the planets and return to the Sun. Sometimes they go to other solar systems. They go out in regiments and return again. The solar creatures are fundamentally different from those on the Earth. How many years a solar creature lives? The Sun, to turn around its centre, needs 20 million years. So, when we say that someone from the Sun is 10 years old, 20 million must be multiplied by 10 to get his real age in our years. So, this creature has our equivalent to 200 million years. Then what is the difference between a man who has lived 10 years on Earth, and a creature that has lived 10 years on the Sun? Solar 10 years is equivalent to our 200 million years. There will be a great difference! Such a man is totally different from the man of Earth. Earth man will remain silent as a stone in front of the man of the Sun. In every good is hiding God. We eat sweet fruits, unaware that their sweetness is God. Sweetness is a Divine quality. Light is also a Divine manifestation, indifferent whence comes from the Sun, the electrical machine or candle. No matter where it comes from, light has Divine origin. It is due to the thoughts of the sublime creatures that inhabit the Sun. If their thought has been as selfish as the people are, the world would be mired in gloom and darkness. Rational and sublime are the citizens of the Sun. They observe life on the Earth from afar and know all the people; they even know their names. People on the Earth do not know each other by name, but the residents of Sun know them by their deeds, by their character and the possibilities that lie within them. "Is this possible?" Once you will check it out and you will be convinced in the truth of my words. This, what happens in nature, is due to those eternal changes that happen in the life of all creatures. Nature is an all in one result of all those rational creatures that live in the whole universe - not only on the Earth but everywhere. The Earth is entirely dependent on the state of the Sun - what bread, what light and heat it sends. Now people believe that only the Sun affects us with its warmth and the light. Otherwise, we know nothing about the Sun. Are there people out there like us? About the people of the Sun you know nothing. But the Sun lives for itself - notwithstanding, that the Earth does not know about it. And the Sun has some works not known about by the Earth. The Sun sometimes does not know these crimes, happening on the Earth. There the newspapers have not yet written about the new agreement between France and Germany; or about the small suffering of Czechoslovakia, nor about the residents of Sunrise what from they suffer - that they have no coal the newspapers there have not yet written. On the Sun they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but live as souls. Man and woman are still poles, they are not yet souls. The woman is the South Pole; man - is the North Pole. The Sun has poles, but they are not cold, not frozen, there the temperature is the same everywhere. Great is the universe with its solar systems with billions of creatures in them! For all these beings exists Providence. One is Who takes care of everyone. Today you can hardly convince people that there is life on Sun. Some even think that on the Sun live people like these on Earth. Not so. Earthly man cannot live on the Sun. If an Earthly man goes to the Sun, he will weigh 16,000 tons. The Sun does not need such heavy matter and in this amount. The matter that the inhabitants of the Sun are made of is extremely malleable and durable. It withstands more heat and light. Solar inhabitants walk huge distances reaching far ends of the solar system. Whether you believe it or not, it is not important. You can take it as one of the tales of "One Thousand and One Nights." If someone says that there are no people of the Sun, I say: it is true that on the Sun cannot live people like those on the Earth. It is true that on the Earth cannot live creatures like those of the Sun. If a resident of the Sun descends to the Earth, he will put it on fire. The Earth cannot withstand the intensity with which he lives. When descending on the Earth, the solar citizen should take precautions not to do any harm. In the Old Testament it is said that many times when someone from the inhabitants of heaven has descended to the Earth, people who have seen it, have fallen to the ground. It is not easy to withstand greater light. The present man is not able to stand before God's judgment. So today rigour gives way to mercy. Matter of which the people of the Sun are made is so plastic, so much resistant to heat - very resistant are these bodies. A man who has knowledge can check the status of the Sun. You, if you have those vibrations of red, or if you have vibrations of yellow, or if you have a vibration of the colour blue, you can get in connection with the people of the Sun and talk to them. Because light is the language of the inhabitants the Sun, as they speak, they form the light and send it worldwide. Light is their speech, therefore it is so nice. You, being joined with the music world, you will see that music exists somewhere outside of the Earth, far into space. You will ask me, where it is. The best singers of the solar system are on the Sun. The most sublime creatures, which manage the entire solar system, live on the Sun. All other planets are apartments, suburbs of the Sun, where they sometimes go to live. For instance, Venus is a suburb, Mercury is a suburb, the Earth is a suburb, Mars is a suburb, Jupiter is a suburb, Saturn is a suburb, Uranus, Neptune are all suburbs. Is not it that the rich people go to the suburbs in the summer? Summer time, when it becomes very hot and they go to the suburbs for coolness, to spend the summer. I speak your language. For instance, you go to the mountain resort locations in summer, high, you do not go to hot, but you go somewhere where it is cool.

The Divine Sun The Sun is the best ruler of the Earth, moving around it permanently. It is a very good master. I take the Sun in the form as it is, and not those religious beliefs of the people about the Sun, as created by God. I'm talking about one Sun, that God has not created. You keep your knowledge about the Sun, but I'm talking about a sun that is not created by God. The Sun that you see has come out of one Sun uncreated, which means that in the world there is one uncreated Sun. Now, when we say that our Earth is moving, we have in mind the Earth, but there is an Earth uncreated. We have two Suns: except the Sun that we see, we have another Sun even brighter, but man is still blind and cannot see it. And if one day you become clairvoyant, you will see two suns in the sky. And therefore you accept the energies of the Sun, which is a reflection of the true Sun. The other Sun is rational, it speaks. You hear all these vibrations, as the Scripture says: "Listen to the voice of God that comes to your mind." Once you focus your mind up, you project it from the centre of your head to the Sun, to the central Sun of the spiritual world. We define that God is above our head. When in adopting of the light you concentrated in the Divine world, the light will talk. It is alive. While everything does not live in you, you are not yet on the right path. Rational beings create everything in the world. On the Earth we will explore methods for implementation. The Light of the Sun does not come from the Sun, but from the Divine Spirit. The light is the sign of that thought that the Great sends to all living creatures on the Earth. This light supports us and grows. The energy that comes from the Sun has come there from the central Sun around which move more than 100 million suns. It is many times greater than our Sun. There is another Sun that involves our entire solar system. These concepts are spectacular! Only rational creatures can send light and colours. This is one of the fundamental laws of living nature. When it comes to the light of the Sun, you should know that it does not come from it but from another sun. The visible sun is only one transformer of light energy that comes from multiple superior rational creatures. Often these superior creatures come to the Sun to regulate the movement of this energy. When a centre is positive, it gives, and when it is negative it takes. The positive energy creates and the negative energy builds. The majority of the energy that the Sun takes from the Central Sun is consumed by the Sun. And relatively little of it goes to the planets. The energy of our physical, mental and moral life comes from the Sun. I'm not talking about the physical sun, this disc that we see, but about the other sun which is invisible, it produces all the invisible results. Living creatures are doors conductors of energy. Through man, as through the superior form, are passing the highest energies. Between the Sun and the human body exist connection as between God and the human soul and without this connection man cannot develop. The mind of man can flourish only under the influence of God's Spirit. The Sun makes visible the Earth and other planets. Thanks to the Sun we have all we need to maintain our lives. The Sun is the image of God. It is God who gives life. Noble sentiments, right thoughts, God brings them to us. The most affordable creature that penetrates the soul is God. The Sun is the place of God. The Sun is the visible part of the manifestation of God. In the physical world the Sun is a representative of God. There is no better representative of God than the physical Sun in the physical world for now. As we observe the Sun, we imagine God as bright as the Sun. That still does not mean that the Sun is God, but only gives an idea of God to the people of the physical world. That's why people should start from the Sun, which brings power. This law is: the Sun in the world is only God. All occult teachers have a Divine sun around which everything is turning. All the suns are turning around the Divine Sun. All lands, planets, comets, they are an emblem of the rational creatures. Each creature has a certain projection. Some creatures have projections in plants, some rational creatures have projection in minerals, some have projection in fish, some have a projection in birds, some rational creatures have projection in beetles, butterflies, have some projection in mammals. And finally, there are sublime creatures that have projection in man. The people, we are a projection. The Sun can give us life, but rationality cannot give us. Furthermore, except that it cannot give us rationality, the Sun brings also laziness. When it heats you up, you no longer want to work. All living creatures are lazy under favourable sunshine and culture has had to be transferred from the warmer countries of Africa to the colder areas to reduce its light and heat. So rationality does not come from the sun but it is coming from elsewhere. Coming from elsewhere is that culture. When I say that rationality does not come from the sun, sitting in my mind there is another idea. If I tell you that I see another sun, what would you say about that? You will say: "Well why can not we see it?" I see it under certain conditions, and so you can also see it under these conditions under which I see it. If anyone sees a bug he sees it, under certain conditions, under his microscope. Therefore the universe has a different sun that brings rationality. We have to come in connection with the living sun and not with what we see and as is said in the Scripture: "Do not serve this Sun." Now you go, hitched your buffalo cart, tomorrow one oxcart, horse car after that, after that you will get on the car and then the airplane will finally you will start to travel with the speed of light. One day people will harness the light and the vehicle of light from the Earth to the Sun for eight minutes to go and come back. All together it will be in 16 minutes. And there you will stay for 1-2 hours. So, get on your car, go to study in some university. For 8 minutes you will go, you will study all day and in the evening you will take again the car to get back. I ask: if you follow this university on the Sun, would not you rather know? You say: "Well could it be?" There are creatures doing it. On the Earth there are people who go and study on the Sun and get back. Where are they? It's not my job to say, nor is your job to know where they are. That is true, I sign with both hands. But where they are, I do not sign with either hand. Let me give you an example of Hebrew. Where has Christ come from and where has He gone? He has come, an angel has come and has said: "Blessed, in thee shall come a comforter heaven." And then when he has left, he has lifted up and has gone somewhere. Where has he gone? He has gone to the Sun. You would think to this Sun. No. Moreover, there is another sun that you do not see. You see a sun, but there is a second sun, that you do not see. You see one sun. That man has three bodies, but you see only the physical body. There is a Divine body. The two bodies you do not see them. They are inside you. In the world there are two suns: one is the physical sun that we all see in the morning rise and in the evening set, the other is the spiritual sun that only the adepts and saints see. They turn to it with the words: "O sun of our lives!" This is the true Sun namely, that all men do not see, because they do not have appropriate body with which to see it. So the real sun is not visible. Why do we die? It is because we continually watch the physical Sun. The heat and light of the physical Sun, and all the events that happen in it, produce some disharmony in people as a result of which it creates an abnormal appetite. This is because people cannot perceive and make appropriate use of the solar energy. One day we will understand that the Sun in which manifests God, in which God lives and sends light. Furthermore, the Sun, we see there is another Sun the Divine Sun that never sets. The great religious have eternal day for them the Sun never sets, they see the Sun anywhere, everywhere on the Earth, for them matter is clear. To meet the rising of the Sun, this implies that conscious contact with it, so that its forces to flow through your body. If man connects with the Sun in the physical world, simultaneously connects to two suns - to the suns of the spiritual and the Divine world. The physical Sun moves from east to north, the spiritual Sun moves from west to south, and zenith is an area of the Divine Sun. They are rising one after another, but you should know exactly the time and the direction of their rising. To understand the life on the Sun, man should at first find his Sun. Everyone has in himself a little Sun, which is located in the centre of the human brain. The size of this Sun for each person is different, depending on the size of the planets in it. By this Sun namely the soul acquires knowledge. Between the outer Sun and the planets in the sky and the inner Sun and the planets man there is something in common: in rising in their setting, etc. If the inner Sun of man no longer rises and outer loses meaning to him. So between the outer and inner Sun of man there is some relationship. If you break this dependence, man would have no inner light. When the inner and outer Suns both shine, man has the conditions to see. If the inner Sun goes out, man becomes blind. He is deprived of the seeing conditions, of perceiving the Divine knowledge. Today, scientists have suggested that the Sun is a great mass of fire, which consists of hot and burning gases such as oxygen, hydrogen and many other elements. And these statements are true, but you should know that oxygen and all elements that are in the Sun are alive, rational creatures. It is said that the temperature of the Sun is about 5 million degrees. And 5 and 10 and 100 million degrees temperature is, however, if man enters in that fire with his bad thoughts, feelings and desires, it will burn everything and man will be transformed. Light and heat of the physical Sun are not divine, but the light and warmth of the spiritual Sun is Divine. Everyone knows when in him appear the Divine light and heat. When you make one noble deed, you are happy with yourself and at this time the Divine light shines on you.

The Sun Essence Small things are the limit of the great things. Small things are the beginning of the great things. A man who cannot start a small thing cannot do a great thing. Thus the world cannot be created. The world has not been created as the scientists think. At 12 billion miles away from our solar system, all the space has been filled with matter. All this matter has been gathered, it has formed the Sun; it has formed all the planets. There are more planets that the scientists will find out. Whether they will find them or not, this compressed matter is the material world. There are other worlds that are invisible. The scientists have a lot of theories about the creation of the world. According to one of these theories, it has initially represented a nebula and its rotation around the centre has formed Sun. So this nebula has gradually hardened, has shaped, until finally has become a solid mass. At first the Sun has occupied several billion kilometres space volume, but then around it has appeared a few hoops that have divided it into several parts, which have gradually formed a line of planets such as the Earth, Venus, Jupiter and others. Currently (1926) our astronomers know only seven planets, but there are two still unknown to them - nine planets in total. The number 7 is a strict number. It is the judge that hangs you with a rope without thinking that God exists. The number 9 is the dealer that puts you in front of the liquidation table. How will you liquidate? You will liquidate with a 25% interest. I ask you: you, the people of today, starting your liquidation, with how many percent will you liquidate? At first the Sun has occupied huge space, but gradually its matter has thickened, while it has made its current form and shape. Thus are all the planets have been formed. According to the Bible God has created at first the Heaven and the Earth, and on the fourth day He has created the Sun. According to the modern scientific theories, it is somewhat inconsistent, because the Earth has come out of the Sun. According to them the Earth has ever been in the Sun and then it has gone out of it. The same can be said about the other planets. And they have come out of the Sun. In the Scripture it is said that at the beginning God has created the Heaven and the Earth and then the Moon and the Sun. The Sun is necessary because it determines the seasons and the years; it determines conscious life as the life of evolution. The Sun chronicles all that is done under heaven. It records everything in the great book of life. All objects in the universe are interconnected and form a single, great body. All the planets governed by this body, yet are absolutely free. Among all the planets have been routed roads and communications for the citizens of one planet with the citizens of another. Each planet has been turning around its axis and around its sun. Between the planets has risen something that caused discord that ultimately put them in their respective place. The Sun has taken over the centre stage and around it has begun circling the other planets. Our Earth is moving at breakneck speed through space, the Sun too. The Sun is a million and a half times bigger than the Earth; it is heavy and moves in this rare matter. Who holds these huge bodies in that space, let me know! Only the thought, mind alone holds these huge objects in space. The entire nature, the eternity, all space is permeated with mind and thought. Sun sends to the people air, gold, and life. That man who has knowledge would make his clothes from sunlight. Wool, food, everything comes from the Sun. Man who has knowledge will collect his food, his fuel from Sun. He will not give money for food and coal, he will not argue with anyone, because there will be nothing to argue about. A man who has knowledge can check the status of the Sun. You, if you have those vibrations of red, or if you have the vibrations of yellow, or if you have the vibration of the blue, you can enter in connection with people of the Sun and talk to them. Because light is the language of the inhabitants of the Sun, as they talk, they form the light and send it worldwide. Light is their speech, therefore it is so nice. I believe that in the centre of the Sun is the intelligence of Sun. The Sun is rational, the Earth is rational. Between these two rationalities there is a relation. The visible land is the body of the Earth. And the Earth has a soul, and the Sun has a soul. And the good man is inspired by the Sun and the bad man inspired by the Sun. When man does not think much, he says: "To remove evil from the world!" How could you remove evil, when the Sun is both the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the world? What would you say about this on top? You say: "Whether is it true or not true?" If it is true, it is true, if it is not true, not true. This cannot be proved. This does not mean that the evil arises from the Sun. That is the reason for evil in the world: the Sun has a dark area that goes around the Earth. The dark area around the Sun is due to the dark rays coming out of it. So, around the bright Sun, we see very bright and dark suns. Dark Suns obstruct the light. They are invisible, but produce a blackout, as a result of which appears this is a dark zone around the Earth. These dark suns are a guard measure. So when people say that there is a dark area around the Earth, they must know that there is a dark area and around the human mind, and around the human heart. These dark areas around the mind and heart of man are precautions so do not be afraid of them. When man wants to taste the evil in the world, then this dark zone opens and all darkness invades his mind and his heart. Then we say that to this man come all the misfortunes. It is enough at least opening the area for human life to become miserable for at least 100 years. It is enough at least the smallest effort to strengthen the faith, to make the life happy for at least 100 years. Human happiness or misery depends on man himself. Heaven in the solar system is the Sun. How would I prove it? One day you can see it for yourself. You can place your spine to the Sun to bake. And if you know how to put your back, you will have a film; you'll know what there is on the Sun, like a film it will be presented on canvas. Pictures of the Sun will start. What happens on the Sun you will start seeing it. The Earth hides great treasures, these are small mysteries. The Earth carries small secrets and the Sun carries big secrets. There is Love greater than that of the Earth. It is the Love of the Sun. Speaking of "heavenly things," Christ has had in mind the great mysteries of the Sun. There is a large dark sun that does not give any heat. And it is not about size. There is a dark sun. Yet the science of the future will study these dark suns. They say it is energy supply that exists in nature. When one sun above starts to weaken, it takes power from stock. Collected in these suns energy is stored inside. In contrast to the Sun there is another black sun, from which that Sun takes all of its matter. And you have one dark sun. What is the dark sun? Good is the bright sun that works. So you will put the bright sun between the dark sun and you. You should not communicate directly with the dark sun. The bright should be between you and the dark sun. It is the straight path. When you have an enemy put one friend between you and him, to protect you. Never enter in a relationship with one of your enemy of yours directly. There are stars that make a turn in 2 million years. Our sun makes a turn once in 20 million years. According to the scientists, when a star rotates 400 million years, it is possible to collide only once. A star must collide four times, so that the mind to come to her head. Do you know what it means "the mind to come to her head?" The mind to come to her head means to balance, not to spend the energy in vain, as our current Sun, which is considered rational. Those suns that give more light are lighter. And those who give less light are heavier. Every sun that collides four times becomes lighter and becomes more rational. It can live for millions and millions of years. They have a long life. Scientists know the weight of the Earth. On what scales have they weighed it? They have ways for that. They also know the weight of the sun. There might be a small error in their calculations, but they have come around to the actual weight of the Earth and the Sun. We know the things only when we try them. What is there on the Sun? Now the scientists think from 92 million miles, that the Sun is in the molten state and say what elements there are there. If these scientists would have gone to the Sun and returned back, and have verified their theories they would have had quite different concepts. It is a truth, which manifests itself from 92 million miles. This position of the Sun is only true when it is 92 million miles away. The Sun is put 92 million miles away, which is aligned according to the organisms on the Earth. This distance is not arbitrary; it is aligned with the creatures that live there. Scientists cannot know the boundaries of space. From here to the Sun, they calculate the distance, but where are the boundaries of the Sun, no one knows. According to my calculations, on the Sun there are there 25 million degrees of heat. If this temperature of 25 million degrees passes through your body, it will clean it but it will not amend it. You will become geniuses, you will light up; your faces will become angelic. This is exactly the music; it is a fire that does not destroy. Thought without ruining music, it is passion, love without destroying music. It is assumed that on the Sun there are 35 million degrees heat, and this heat, I am talking about cannot be measured by any thermometer. Only it is able to purify the hearts and minds of people. When that fire comes it will clean it the hearts, it will free them from worries and disturbances. You are troubled by thoughts that are not yours. You are troubled by feelings and desires that are not yours. You are troubled by acts, which are also not yours. God has created the world, and yet you are troubled, what will happen to the Earth, which has existed since thousands of years. Our scientists discuss the question since how many thousands of years the Earth has existed and in how many thousands of years the Sun will be gone out. What do they know of the issue of when and how the Sun will be gone out? Indeed, if the Sun is like a candle made of a similar matter, then you can make a mathematical calculation in how many years this Sun will go out. Dry wood are burning on fire, but the fire should come from outside. The same can be said for the Sun: combustible matter is in it, but the energy that develops in combustion comes from outside somewhere. So some scientists think. And man must always be on the side of truth. A scholar in Germany proves that the sun is cold. He says that on the surface of the Sun it is 6,000 degrees, but inside there is cold water. This cold water forms patches on the Sun. He has concluded that the light produced by a firefly to be formed needs 1165 degrees. Firefly does not have this heat, but glows. He says: as firefly does not have these 1165 degrees, it is cold, but lights, and the Sun is shining but it's cold. This work is misunderstood. I think the question is: the Sun has a magnetic surface and the interior of the Sun is electric, there is cold light in there, but that does not mean that there is frost. There is a light in nature that is cold. All forces that go in a straight line are cold, and all that go in a curved line are hot. The straight line shows no coldness, but the vibrations are special. In the summer when the wind blows it cools. This movement is pleasant to you. This is not the cold that takes, that is cold that feeds things. Electricity feeds magnetism. I call electricity - potential and magnetism - dynamic. If a body hits anywhere, its energy is converted into heat. Your magnetism that you're wearing on the outside, it is flexible, you have to be magnetic. The Sun today is better than it has been 2,000 years ago. The Sun now gives more energy to the Earth than 2,000 years ago. And in 2000 years it will provide more than now. The Sun will start to rise from elsewhere, what will happen in a lot of time. One day, when man learns to serve his mind, heart and soul, then he will walk to the Sun himself and he will check how has happened the creation of the world. Today he lives on a relatively small planet the Earth and can not embrace it, but what would be the situation if he has been living on the Sun, which is 1 million and 500,000 times greater than the Earth? A time will come when the Sun will be populated as the Earth and will be shined by another sun, larger than it. As ants cannot cover the idea what is the Earth on which they live, and we cannot imagine what the Sun is and how it is possible to live on it.

From The Truth One Sentence Reflection. Spiritual exercise. [An example spiritual exercise that prefaces some Morning Talks given in the same year is the reading of the following: Psalm 91 The Path of Life Prayer "Our Father" (Mt 6:9-13) Prayer of the Kingdom] I will read chapter 16 from the Gospel of Mark. 16:1-16 I will tell you only one sentence and with this I will conclude: Every one of you should strive to grow and upraise in himself what God has implanted since the creation of the world. The manifested Love of the Spirit, the manifested Wisdom of the Spirit, [and] the manifested Truth of the Spirit bring the full Life of God, of the One, Eternal God of Life! (three times) Those of you who can, towards 8 o'clock - exercises. (8 am, exercises on the meadow) 7th of January 1934

From The Truth A Letter Wednesday 5.30 am (the weather is cloudy, foggy and cold) 6.30 am (The Master did not come, he had sent a letter) 15 minutes contemplation. To be written [on the blackboard]: Three things are needed by the spiritual-students: Prudence, Strength, Goodness. Prudence implies the right way of Life; Strength implies Freedom - the Truth of Life; Goodness implies the achievement of Life - Love. Prudence brings Light which neither fades, nor darkens! Strength brings that which overcomes, it does not weaken; Goodness brings that which achieves; Prudence leads, guides; Strength protects; Goodness elevates. Prudence brings all the possibilities of the Divine world. Strength brings all the possibilities of the Spiritual world. Goodness brings all the possibilities of the human world. Blessed is he who by them is led, protected and sustained. He is there, in the Radiant Path, in the Radiant Truth, in the Radiant Life. There peace, joy and gladness abide. My regards to the good students. 10 January 1934 Izgrev, Sofia

From The Truth For the Glory of God I shall briefly dwell on one fundamental thought, namely - life's essential manifestation. What can be understood by the words "Glory of God"? The Glory can only be explained according to the law of Wisdom or knowledge. Science points to the Glory of God, but people, once having acquired knowledge, do not use it for the Glory of God but for their own glory; as a consequence of this, a disharmony is born. I call people separate entities. For every separate entity there are two possibilities in life: to follow the right path and (or) to make a deviation from this path. This means that for every soul, as a separate entity, there is a possibility to expand and (or) to contract. This [fact] is explained in occult science in several ways. Western occultists explain it with the so called "warmth ether". "Ether" means that from which all things are born and brought up. The syllable "et" means the Primordial Beginning, from which things are born. [The syllable] "ther" means that which raises things up on the earth. The Ether is not a dense substance. The warmth ether, i.e. the Primordial Energy which has commenced its activity, has a connection with closeness [1], with Love. Therefore, in the first expression of life Love is manifested, during which time the warmth ether begins to act in matter. And so, life manifests itself in warmth. With the appearance of warmth, the current of life started to descend towards the earth to organize it. In Genesis it is said: "In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth". This current is the Divine Spirit Which descends from above to organize things. In the current state of your development, you must understand the law of the warmth ether. It [2] is a movement from the outside inwards. When we say that we must love other people, we imply this warmth ether which comes from outside. People demand our love. Someone has the wish to love you and for you to love him. Why? This is an energy in Nature which wants to manifest itself. Because you do not understand the law, you distort things. When a wellspring wants to express itself what does it do? - it must start gushing out. When water begins to flow out of it, it manifests itself. The same happens with man. When an Angel loves some man, you will see that something flows out from this Angel. That which flows out of Him is liquid, while your love is dense. When you love someone, something flows out of you too, and if at this moment an Angel who is returning from a long journey happens to see you, he will say: "Let me have some rest next to this well-spring". He will scoop up a little bit of your water with his small cup and will correctly evaluate whether your well-spring is good or not. Therefore, when people love each other in the physical world, purely physical manifestations exist between them; but in the Invisible world it is not like that, there Love is a wellspring. For you these things are abstract terms; you just say: these people love each other. Yes, this is so, but you should know that life corresponds to the warmth ether and if you cannot accept this stimulus from the outside, then life cannot manifest itself within you. The life which comes out from within is a manifestation of this warmth ether. When life manifests itself, your life-giving ether will also be in the center of the Earth. The life-giving ether is that which creates, and, for that life to manifest itself, this wave must first come from outside. Now, when I speak about the earth, you resemble it, and, because of this, the warmth ether must by all means come into you like an impulse from the outside, to urge your heart towards activity. Sometimes you desire to love. Thus, after you have accepted a stimulus from the outside inwards, another impulse from the center of your heart should express itself, so that life can manifest. Therefore, everyone who desires to live will come into discord with the solid matter. Everyone who desires to love will come into discord with the solid matter. A man who is not able to work with solid matter, cannot live. In this respect, from the point of view of life, all sufferings are stones which you will build your future with. Afterwards comes the light, which is also necessary for life; it is also a current which is called "Light Ether". All these external manifestations of life have their [own] form. Warmth creates certain forms in man. Light also creates certain forms. Life has certain forms, too. Every current creates its own specific form. The warmth and light of the Sun render a great influence firstly on the religious state of man; also on science. You must strive to keep this warmth and light within yourselves. You must never lose that small warmth in your solar plexus! This warmth must always exist in you, you need it. If you have this little warmth, you are invulnerable, no one will be able to do anything against you, but if you lose this little warmth, then the greatest misfortunes can happen to you: storms, calamities. They can completely ruin you and nothing will remain of you. If you [succeed] in keeping this little warmth in yourselves, then the light will come as a result, and, when it comes, it brings knowledge in man. So, the light ether has an influence upon the brain; the warmth ether has an influence upon the heart. A number of chemical processes happen from the inside outwards in the heart of man. How a man will manifest, whether in one way or another, depends on them. Do not stumble upon the different manifestations of human life! The external world may stumble, but you should not stumble. You should know that in whatever direction a man may choose to manifest himself, all this is for the Glory of God! This is because your trespasses, your mistakes represent possibilities for the upliftment of other Beings, [much] more advanced than you. You make a certain mistake, but these Beings, which you do not see, use this mistake of yours, they take it for the construction of a mighty virtue. Everything in the world is created in such a way that these wise Beings make use of each one of your mistakes for the creation of a virtue. Now, you should not say: if this is so, that everything is for [the creation of some] good, then let us make mistakes! No, it is not like that! Only when you have made a mistake unconsciously, when you have transgressed unconsciously, only then I say to you, you should not feel sorry for that. This mistake of yours will be used by some other Being for [the creation of] good. Know that if you are on the earth, you will make mistakes, they are unavoidable, but the mistakes must not be done deliberately. The only danger which comes from the black brotherhood stands in the fact that they have the task to incorporate into man a critical spirit, that he does not lead a good life. We know, man is not able to become a saint in one day. To be saints, we have to know all the laws of Nature, we have to even know our future. Someone comes to me and says: "I am a saint". Alright, then tell me my future! If he is not able to tell me about the future, I say to him: you are not a saint at all. A saint must be able to predict the future to people. A man who is advanced should have this internal knowledge, he should have a premonition of how things will come about. For the time being you all have the chance to be influenced by the external world. You are reflectors of the external world, of its light, but you should know that the light of the other people is their own [light] and your light is yours. But if you reflect only their light, this is not light at all. If you have your own light, only this light is real. However, if you reflect their light, when it ceases, you will lose it too; if the light is within you, you will keep it always. And if another light comes from outside to your reflector, rejoice even more - it will increase your light. In the given case you must always keep your light and your warmth. Now we have climbed up on Musala [3]. Here you are all in a very good frame of mind, but down there in Sofia, you are not like that. There you have bad, malicious feelings towards each other. A sister comes to visit you [and] you cannot bear her, you want her to go away. What are the reasons for these feelings? These are small, ordinary things, but they do not resolve the issues. You do not love some sister, you wish to get rid of her. Why? I do not want to resolve these things between you now, but I say that these situations also exist in the whole world. You do not love someone, but there is another one who does not love you. And then someone else is very much dear to you. It happens that there is someone you cannot bear, but he constantly comes to you. The opposite happens, too: you love somebody, you want him to come to you, but he avoids you. Why is this so? This is all due to those currents in space. The Law of Love states: when a feeling of love comes into being within me, because love descends from above, from Heaven, I must carry something, I must give something. If I give nothing, I would not be able to manifest love. God Who loves us, gives us something as He manifests Himself. Similarly, when we wish to love God we should also give something from ourselves, we should sacrifice something, should give some of our fruits. God wants something from us too. We read in the Holy Scriptures that the Jews offered sacrifices to God, but what will we bring [to Him]? We do not want sacrifices today. What should we do then? What should we give? Sweet fruits from our garden? No, we must bring fruits from the garden of our hearts, in a very special little tray made of gold, of diamond. Up there, where God is, we will be met by an Angel who will accept these fruits from us. You will say: this is all a fantasy. Yes, these things are lofty, difficult to understand. Let us now come to the facts as they manifest themselves on earth. When you love someone, what do you do? At first the mother will give her child little socks, will make a little dress for it, a little hat, a little shirt; up to the time of the child's mature years, she will always wish to give the child something, all the time she manifests her love. When love appears in the son or in the daughter, the same law is at work. For this law to be put into effect in us also, we should always be connected in our consciousness with the Invisible world. But to be connected with the Invisible world, we should know someone who is from that world, we should know his name. And you, how do you have intercourse with the Invisible world? In a dream, through prayer, with your thought? Who are your mediators? As I go back to the distant past, I see how many times you have not used the possibilities which you have had for your upliftment. You have made such mistakes that you have put whole barricades in front of yourselves, you alone have put real mountains within your lives. And now you encounter these transgressions in your lives. You must now cope with what you have done to others in the past. That is why you are given favorable conditions today, so that you can better your ways. Your current path is an opportunity for you to liquidate with all the existing contradictions. And you can liquidate them [even] now; these contradictions are not too big. Now, when considering this subject, each one of you has to be put in a circle. Each one of you has a distinguishable circle in which it is possible to act. Every thought has its own outlined periphery and outside of this periphery it can not manifest itself. For instance, would you be willing for the whole of Bulgaria to listen to you when you sing? A time will come when it will listen to you, this will be like listening to a radio. There will be a special instrument for everything. If you were to be heard through the air, there would be such a roar, such a yell! How strong should the sound be for it to be heard throughout the whole of Bulgaria? To transfer a sound to a far-away place in the current conditions, it must be produced very loudly because, as it passes through the air, it becomes diminished. After [many] years people will develop their inner faculties, so that when something is spoken or is sang somewhere, the sound will be transmitted through the ether over a great distance. and it will be perceived. The sound will pass through the air without any obstacles. For example, if you sing in Varna [in Eastern Bulgaria --note tr.], your voice will be heard everywhere. So, you will have to occupy yourselves with the study of the warmth ether which has a connection with Love. You will have to occupy yourselves with the study of light, or the light ether which has a connection with Faith and Wisdom. You will have to occupy yourselves with [the study of] the chemical ether or with the volitional expressions of the human soul, with water. The alchemists or occultists of old times made the following divisions: earth - this is the life, water - these are the chemical processes, light - this is the air, and warmth - this is the fire. Man must rule over these elements: earth, water, air, fire, light and warmth. Man must produce fire himself. If your heart is cold you should be able to internally warm it and not wait for it to be warmed up from the outside. You will say: let the Lord do this! Truly, the Lord is the one who acts internally, He is able to do everything Himself alone, but He wishes to impel us to act upon ourselves by ourselves. He wants us to love. In this way you study a great art. If you have fire [and] if you can control it, you will even be able to descend into hell. A man who is not able to rule over the water, who is not able to rule over the air, a man who is not able to rule over the light and a man who is not able to rule over the warmth, such a man is good for nothing. With respect to man alone, these are just given possibilities. If he does not use these possibilities, he will do as much as the fish does; it lives in the water but does not rule over the water. Such man would do as much as the mole does; it lives in the earth but does not rule over the earth. And what have the birds accomplished? They live in the air, but do not rule over the air. They have done nothing up to now, they do not posses any [sort of] culture. And when we arrive at those who concern themselves with the fire, we can see that they also do not rule over the fire. They make big fires: set alight some house, blow up a bomb which produces a great earthquake, and afterwards they retreat. Our houses get destroyed, we suffer, but they make fun and revelry out of this. In this respect it is expected of you that you investigate these powers, although there is a danger that if some secrets are disclosed to you, you will not be able to use them sensibly. So I say to you: when you see a man, you should not ponder over his weaknesses but rather upon his virtues. You say: I was thinking of you as being my friend but you have such-and-such a weakness. No! To understand a man we should ponder over his virtues, because the bad things in a good person are only a shadow in his life. Only a highly good man can have shadows in his life; [and] only such a man can manifest evil. Do wolves go to a shepherd who does not posses sheep? Where there are sheep, there are wolves and bears [also]. Do lice infest a dead man? So, if a man is infested by lice and fleas, you should know that he is alive. Where do the lice go? - [they go] to the living [people]. I say: in all of you there must be created such a noble character, your souls must be [so] widely opened, that whoever meets you would feel how life breathes from you and how freshness comes out of you; an inner fullness and goodness must exist in you without any effort; you should manifest yourselves naturally, in a Divine way. You must be good in essence, [even] without wishing to be good; even when you would sometimes wish to not be good, to still be good, regardless. And when you do not want to do good, again, to be unable to help yourself from doing it. These people I call good [people]. Now, the important thing for you is to retain something from this excursion to Musala. What will remain in you from this day? Will you remember something from it when one day you become 60-70 years old! You may say: Leave us alone, [all] this is not connected with our white hair! Well, what is left from your faith then? Not only should you not grow old, but rather, you should get younger and younger every day. Not only should not you die, but rather, you should be enlivened every day. You must constantly live in joy! And when you pass away to the other world, there you will go to Musala again, but there you will see Musala in a different form. The important thing is that we are doing this excursion because we have certain tasks on earth which we must solve. Every climb of Musala gives us an impulse. We are here on the highest position and there is no one who can stop us. Our determination forward is so great, that we are capable of taking this position from everywhere. We are at such a height at which the black lodge is powerless, it can do nothing to us, we shall break through a path for ourselves everywhere. But if we were to return without climbing up to Musala, than we would have retreated from this position like Kuropatkin [4], and also like the Germans at the siege of Verdun [5]. In all of us, in every man, there must be determination! The [main] mistake in all of you is that you do not have determination. You must have an ideal! If you stop in the face of the smallest difficulty, there is no determination in you. If you have determination, you will be like the birds, you will pass by and go away. If you have determination, if you have an ideal, there is no devil who can stop you. And so, the Lofty Ideal - the striving towards God, brings warmth. Behold, you can see even here on Musala, at this height, we have a temperature of 22 degrees (71.6 F). What does this physical temperature of 22 degrees show? When we add 2 + 2 together we obtain the number 4, which is the strongest number, on the highest place. The fire of these energies, of these powers, acts in a square; whatever falls in there gets destroyed. So, here we have the Square of life. At a temperature of 22 degrees life is capable of destroying all hindrances which could be met on the way. Here Nature also shows the same; everything is destroyed [barren] on Musala. Thus this number corresponds to Musala. In the Hebrew language there are 22 letters. The Jews interpret all their philosophy according to Cabala (Kabbalah). And so, all separate entities live for the whole Entity. The whole Entity, this is God with Whom we are connected. And all our ideas are corrected by this Whole Entity. We always think of God, although we are not conscious of this; and there is no need to become aware of this. But there is one sacred Idea within us; when we come to a certain place, we always correct our mistakes precisely according to this Idea. That which corrects our mistakes, this is God. He says: "Do not do this thing!" And you joyfully accept this [correction]. Afterwards He says to you: "Accept this!" And you accept it. There is not a single man in the world who the Lord does not correct. Sometimes you cry, until the Lord comes, casts a glance at you, takes you by the hand and you become free from all the difficulties in life. Now, we are not going to talk about your difficulties; they are a blessing for you; you will carry them, you should know that. We shall not set you free from your difficulties. To set you free from your difficulties, that would mean to do the worst evil to you. We give you knowledge [and] opportunities to use these difficulties for [doing] good. All your treasure is hidden exactly in these difficulties. Somebody says: "I wish the Lord would take this difficulty off me". Do not say this, but rather say: "Lord, give me knowledge so that I can cope with all difficulties in my life!" You have very special difficulties in your life which you can share with no one. A doctor is needed! If you share your difficulty with someone who does not understand, than he will make your situation worse. If you are a bankrupt tradesman and you speak about your situation to some other tradesman who is your enemy, nothing will be left of you; but if you reveal this to a friend who loves you, who is able to put himself in your situation, he will give you advice through which you will become free of your trouble. The Scripture also says: "Cast your burden only upon the Lord!" You can cast your burden only upon one who loves you and upon one who you love. If you love him, when you connect with him he will take your burden from you. Then again, if he does not love you and if you do not love him as well, he will not accept your burden. Now, the fog around us shows that this year the world will pass through great difficulties. The secular people will be enveloped in a very dense fog which they will have to overcome. It will be like this throughout the whole year, but on the highest place there will be warmth, lots of forces will be there. There are forces in the fogs. Whatever comes, fear not! You will be courageous and resolute. You carry [within yourselves] a sacred Idea. Even if you are put into a fire 10 times, do not be afraid, you shall not burn up. You shall be like Daniel, who was cast into a den of lions. Did the lions eat him? You shall be like the three lads in the fiery furnace. Did they burn up? You shall be like Christ on the cross. Did He die? Did He stay in the grave? How many saints were buried in the ground and afterwards their bodies were not found there. The earth cannot keep them, a prison cannot keep them [either]. An Englishman was acquainted with the Universal White Brotherhood, with the knowledge of the Hindu Yogas, but he was not well accepted by the English Government, and because of this, he was locked up in India with a guard to watch over him. When they went to the prison the next morning, they saw that he is not there. A second time they caught him, locked him up again and put 10 guards to watch over him, but again, he disappeared. Eventually, he wrote a letter to them: "You cannot imprison me. Leave me alone and go your own way! I am not against the laws, but I also have certain rights according to which you should let me be so that I can go on my way! Do not think that you can lock me up!". The strength of that man is in this faith. You can pass through the same experience, but faith is required. They can lock you up as many times as they please, but the Lord will always rescue you from prison. In this stands the beauty in the world! If some one of you were to have this experience [then even if you were] to be locked up, with 10 guards watching over you, again, you will get out and will feel free, a master of the situation. You, too, have faith, but how long it will take until this faith is strengthened! You have knowledge, but how much more has to be acquired! You possess virtues, but these virtues have to be developed much further. Your Wisdom, your Justice, your Mercy, all these virtues must be strengthened in you, and they can be strengthened. You all have the opportunity to strengthen these virtues. And thus, to those of you who listen to me now, I shall not speak of [some kind of theoretical] philosophy, because no kind of [theoretical] philosophy can be considered on Musala - but I shall give you several practical points (suggestions) for application. Musala is only a place for experiments. Now, I should leave you here on the summit to lay down and have a rest for at least an hour, through which time you will learn three times as much as from me giving you a lecture! When you descend, the first thing which lies ahead of you is to do the following experiment: concentrate your mind upwards to God and say: "Lord, because we walk on this path and wish to serve You, let this small warmth come into us, let us feel it! I am prepared to carry my sufferings, but grant me this small warmth, allow me to feel it!" Do not ask the Lord for grand things! You always want grand things from the Lord, that is why you lose the small ones as well, but you should ask for the small thing. When this little warmth comes, it will introduce the New Impulse into your lives. This is a law: if you ask for something from God, ask for this little warmth! This is the first experiment, the first condition. When you feel the little warmth, you will say: "Lord, grant me the little light, allow me to feel it." And when you say so, a small light will flash in your mind. You will notice this small whitish light in the center of your brain. This light will be [very] little, like a pin. Thus you will have two possibilities: the warmth and the light. Then you will begin with life. The warmth acts upon life, while the light - upon chemistry, upon religion. You will become fearless and decisive. So, when you get up in the morning, you should ask the Lord for two things. Now, as you apply one method, then another, then a third, in the end when you find yourselves in some difficulty, you should say: "Lord, grant me the little warmth, grant me the small light!" When you feel it, you should say: "Lord, may everything be for Your Glory!" And when difficulties and sufferings come, you should say once again: "Lord, may it also be for Your Glory!" For everything which happens in your lives, you must say: "For the Glory of God!" This will be your benefit from Musala. And if you are asked, what have you been told on Musala, say: "May everything be for the Glory of God!" This is the [essential] summary of everything I spoke to you on Musala. "May everything be for the Glory of God!" We are now learning about the smallest warmth which exists within us and about the smallest light which can manifest itself in us - Warmth and Light! And now, you should know this for the whole year: everything happens for the Glory of God! Next year, when we come here I will say to you: show me your little warmth and your little light! We will do an exercise now. You will spread out at a distance, with at least one meter between each of you. You will turn towards the South and pronounce the formula: "May Virtue reign and may all bad thoughts in the world disperse!". You will turn towards the East and pronounce the formula: "May Divine Justice reign in the world and may every injustice disappear from our life!" You will turn towards the North and pronounce the formula: "May Divine Truth reign in our life and may every bondage disappear from our soul!" You will turn towards the West and pronounce the formula: "May Divine Wisdom reign in all manifestations of our life and may evil disappear from our path!" You will turn again towards the East and pronounce the formula: "May the Lord reign and may the Lord be glorified in all His Love, Wisdom and Truth!". "May the Lord be enthroned in His Love, in His Wisdom, in His Truth!". "And let us accomplish everything for the Glory of God on earth!" - Amen! Lecture 11 July 1926, Sunday 8.30 am, Peak Musala (9596 ft), Rila Mountains --==[][][]==-- ________________________________________________ Notes: [1] In Bulgarian, there are two words for Love, 'obich' which implies to have affection, ardor etc., and 'liubov', which is equivalent to love. This distinction is sometimes of importance in the Master's lectures. [2] 'It' may refer here to either the law, or the ether. [3] Musala is the highest peak in the Rila Mountains (2925 m / 9596 ft), in Bulgaria and the Balkan peninsula. [4] Kuropatkin A.N. (1848-1925) was a Russian Imperial Minister of War (1898-1904), supreme commander of the Russian forces in the East Asia (1904-1905) and commander of the First Manchurian Army (1905-06). Military historians consider his indecisiveness and organizational deficiencies in directing large-scale military operations as a major element in the Russian defeat during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05). [5] Verdun was the site of one of the major battles during the First World War on the Western Front. It exemplifies the 'war of attrition' strategy - it was the longest battle (10 months) and one of the most devastating in the First World War and in human history.

From The Truth The Lit Candle "No man lights a candle and puts it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light." (Luke 11:33) Because of the growing expansion of desires and thoughts, the ordinary concepts in life have lost their meaning. It is said in the Gospels, and contemporary science also proves it, that life does not consist in the plenitude which man possesses. Life does not consist in the big amount either, nor in the little amount. Life does not consist in the largeness of knowledge, too. Life also does not consist in the abundance of love such as the people of today understand it. When Love is spoken about, we always include time and space. The first condition which you should have in mind is that man does not acquire his knowledge on earth by himself alone. It is another question whether you agree with this statement or not. I will explain what the word " acquisition" means. Man caries knowledge within himself in the so-called by the scientific language potential or embryonic state; on the Earth only the conditions are given for this knowledge to be examined. The Earth is a place where our knowledge is applied or tested so that we can acquire it [the knowledge]. This is one of the internal laws of existence. Now, many hold back and ask: why is this so? Do not rummage the roots so as to see why they go down; do not take the branches down so as to see why they climb up, but rather, study the qualities of the roots and branches. Do not preoccupy yourselves with the philosophy of why the roots let themselves down. This philosophy is for the great minds. You should rather occupy yourselves more with the fruit which the tree gives. In the end, sow the seed, bring the tree up and benefit from its fruit, whilst you leave the philosophers to worry about the roots, the branches and the secrets of existence. Some of you know nothing about the fruit but ask, "why do the roots go down"? I ask: why do some people lay on their backs when they go to sleep? Can they not sleep upside-down? Or is it not possible for Nature to put them to sleep in some different position? - It cannot do it. Why? Because if man's head is placed in a position towards the center of the Earth, all his blood will go to his brain and this will disturb him. With the weaker natures, the blood will pour itself into the brain and this will cause a flood there, which will sweep everything away. Because man's Spirit is rational, and in order to avoid the great floods which occur in the Cosmos, he has established a certain order. If there is excess water somewhere, he has provided some pumps with which this water can be sucked out. Some will say: we understand this business. No, you do not understand it. These are symbols. To understand the symbols, man has to have an excellent mind. We predominantly use mathematical formulas, symbols; we speak one thing, but understand another. For man the symbolic language of Nature is intrinsic, and because of this everyone understands it. When we start to elucidate a symbol physically, we darken its internal meaning. For instance, in the Scriptures it is said that the coming of the Lord will happen in an instant. What kind of a moment is this? Some think that this moment is a very short time. No, during such a moment many things can happen. People have the habit to blink. If you take the owl, for example, it keeps its eyes permanently opened; man, on the other hand, blinks all the time. Why has Nature put the eyelids, this delicate cloth over our eyes? - because they have to be clean, that is why. If your eyes did not have eyelids, the dusty Sofia [1] would have closed them. And so the eyelids perpetually clear the eyes. Blinking means clearing the eyes. If you blink, this implies: clear your eyes and then look! You have to look at things with clear eyes. For the same reason there are such eyelids in the mind of man, which clear the thoughts. The Good is the upper eyelid, the evil is the lower one. They get together, touch, open up again and distance themselves from each other - they do not love each other. But in a given case, the evil also has some benefit from the eye and says to it: "You will work for me too, because I purge you" And the Good tells it: "You will serve me as well, because I also purge you". These are symbols. The eye says: "I do not know what I should do; both of them do service for me". You will ask: "Is it true, that the upper eyelid is (represents) the Good and the lower one - the evil?" These are our concepts; for us bad things are those which cause us pain, and those that cause us pleasure we consider good. However, in Nature there are a number of conditions which show that the external (the visible) Good does not bring good fruits in some respects. In the world there exists one Absolute Good, which is rational; it is not some sort of mood. Let us go back to the verse: "No man lights a candle and puts it in a hidden place." The candle is an emblem of the thinking man. Therefore, when your mind is lit, you should not put it in favor of the materialistic world, you should not envelop it with mean desires, ignoble thoughts and you should not pervert it. You will say: "then, what benefit will this mind bring for us?" - You will put it on the highest place so that it shines over the state of your life, because life on earth is movement. None of you stay in one spot; you move all the time. The conditions in which you were living yesterday are not the same today, and will not be the same tomorrow. Today other conditions are acting. After I finish this lecture, we shall be far away in space, millions of kilometers further from the previous place. Our Earth moves constantly. With its changing position in space, our state changes accordingly. Why is this so? As the Earth travels through space, the conditions of this space differ and, as a result, the influences upon us are different. Those who are not familiar with this Cosmic influence think that space is empty. It is not like this. The philosophers who study Space work on the question of whether there is space or not [and] does time exist or not. The issue does not subsist in this - whether time and space exist. Regardless of how space is explained, this concept exists in the human mind. The concept of time also exists in the human mind. You cannot unriddle their essence, but you can reflect upon them as concepts. The concept of space includes in itself the matter. In the concept of time our life is projected. Let us put aside the question about the essence of time and space. There is not a single philosopher who has ever determined what time and space are. There is something close to the truth in their explanations, but, in essence, what space is and what time is - only God knows. Only the most advanced, the most sublime Spirits, Who have finished their development, their evolution in the Universe, know what time and space are. All other beings who have not yet finished their development have a childish understanding of these issues. They say about someone: so-and-so has graduated from the University in Berlin, or in London, or in Paris. I ask: what does this man know? This man, who has graduated from four faculties, gets ill tomorrow from the simplest influenza and immediately calls for a doctor. That is how much this man knows! As you can see, he is not able to heal himself. You may ask for a doctor only in the case that you have an illness which you cannot cure alone. And he will be the real doctor. "No man lights a candle and puts it in a hidden place". I understand what interests you. All of you are from this kind, who wish with one blow to learn everything (Master speaking to his audience --note tr.). At the moment, you want to go out from here, just wave with a hand and immediately the cash-desk of some banker to come into your room with his money at your disposal. Is there anyone who does not desire this! This wish is deposited even in the smallest of animals. For instance, contemporary people study hypnotism, they wish to use it. Contemporary scientists have found what hypnotism is and have observed that many plants and animals make use of it. Snakes, for example, have used hypnotism up to now. They are capable of attracting their victim directly into their mouth. Cats also use hypnotism with respect to mice. Cats have known what hypnotism is for a long time. Do you know what hypnotism is? - it is applied everywhere. Who does not use hypnotism? Do the flowers not hypnotize the bees? Is every attraction not a hypnotism? Some say that such-and-such a scientist in France possesses the skill of hypnotizing. I say: that scientist does not even posses this art as much as the animals [who] know it. In general, today's hypnotists know very little about this art. The powers in Nature which we use nowadays are so configured that they also have a contrariwise action. There is a law of balance: we must not misuse certain powers in Nature, because we will always be bringing upon us their consequences. In the same way there is a law of thought, and the human mind works in accordance with it. If you deviate from the first direction of thought, i.e. if you hide the lit candle, you will have bad consequences. When is a candle hidden under a bushel? - when you want to smooth things over, to represent them in such a form in which they do not exist. You know that what you say is not quite the truth, but yet you do otherwise. This reminds us of a situation in life which had happened somewhere in Bulgaria, but during the [far distant] time of the Turkish occupation [2]. Two Turks were suing each other; one of them went to the judge and told him: "Your Honor, take this lira [3] from me and when I say to you: look at my face, please, remember that I have given you something". Then the second one went [to the judge] and told him: "Your Honor, I am giving you two liras, please, look at my two faces." The judge [4] kept the money from both of them. He has put the lit candle under the bushel. During the examination of the case, the first defendant told him: "Your Honor, look at my face". "Very well," - the judge told him - "but what should I do with the one that has two faces?" Then the first man understood that the second one had given the judge more [money]. Consequently, the trial was ruled in favor of the one who had two faces. The people of today have lost their faith in the judges and say: "there is no justice in the world". I say: in the world there is a Divine, Absolute Justice in which no exception exists. This Justice applies equally to all. What we see now is that people constantly judge each other. The whole life is about nothing but a correction of mistakes. You suffer from illnesses, your children are born ill; you lose your wealth; a catastrophe befalls a nation; another nation is wiped out from the face of the earth. Do you think that all this is without a cause? All the nations who have vanished from the face of the earth - they have extinguished their candelabrum. On the other hand, the ones who are put to the test, like the Bulgarians, have placed their candelabrum under the bushel. But there is another danger - the candle may become extinguished. Nature sends all these trials. Contemporary people are afraid from the thought that if they walk in the right Path they will die hungry. This is not true. There is not even a single fact known in history of someone who has been thinking righteously and has died hungry. All those people, however, who have not been thinking righteously have died hungry. [Even] the most learned ones have died hungry. Kings have died hungry. Princes, generals have [also] died hungry. Who has not died from hunger? You say: all people have died from hunger. This is a fact. The old and the young die from hunger, but man dies from hunger only when his candelabrum is extinguished. If his candelabrum shines, he cannot die. There are number of reasons why people die. The world, [as well as] life have to be studied in all their manifestations. For instance, have you ever asked yourselves why the Lord has created the head? What is the purpose of the head? What is the purpose of the lungs, what is the purpose of the stomach, what is the purpose of the brain? In Russian the word for stomach is "life" [bg.: "jhivot"] [5]. Some call the stomach "bag" [bg.: "tarbuh"]. In reality, the purpose of the stomach is completely different from that which is ascribed to it by some. Nowadays its service is perverted and all the bad results in [the life of] contemporary humanity are due to this perversion. What is the service of the stomach in reality? What is the service of the lungs, of the brain, and so on? After all this, we speak about the human heart, too. We have a heart which moves the blood and we also have a heart which feels; finally, we have a mind with which we think. For the time being what is important is the function of the brain; man's mind manifests there. In the nineteenth century a whole science was established for the study of the human brain. Earlier on, the human face was studied; going even further into the past, the human body was studied - the way it had been created, what its functions are and so on. Included in this is Astrology, which shows what the relation of the body to the outer world is. If man does not study these sciences he will believe that the connections between him and the external world are very distant, as though they do not exist. It is not like this, though. Venus, for example, has an influence upon the feelings of man; Mars has an influence upon the belligerent mood of man; Saturn has an influence upon the powers of thought in man; Jupiter has an influence upon the nobility, upon the intellectual feelings in man; Mercury has an influence upon the mind of man; the Moon on the other hand has an influence upon his imagination, upon his fantasy. What influence does the Earth have upon man? But the Sun and the Earth influence the human being most. Life itself is so distributed, that between the chemical processes which happen within the Earth and the life which comes from the Sun there is a constant interweaving. And vice-versa: between the life on Earth and the chemical processes which happen on the Sun, there is also a certain interweaving. So I say: Christ deeply understood Nature and its laws. Some think that Christ was not educated. No, He was quite a well educated Man. If Christ was a professor today, He would be the most eminent professor in contemporary culture. Do not think that those Sublime Teachers, those great Adepts do not understand science. They understand it very well, they have their laboratories where they do a number of experiments. The greatest Teachers have methods through which they can reach the Sun and they are able to return back from there. An Adept has positive knowledge, he [may] know everything but he keeps silent, [and] does not say anything. Contemporary culture, which I call "the culture of the little children", now preoccupies itself with the question - what is there on the Sun? They have just started to study how many elements there are and what these elements are. They have done [some] small experiments and [then] they say that contemporary science is very exact. The contemporary learned scholars have done a number of calculations to determine the distance between the Earth and the Sun. How exact their calculations are, we can see from the fact that one mathematician calculates using all the exactness of the mathematical science and finds that the distance between the Earth and the Sun is 92 million miles, but another one calculates that the same distance is 93 million miles. What kind of exactness is this, if in the calculations of two mathematicians there is a difference of one million miles? What would I have done if I had taken a train which left me at a distance of one million miles from the Sun? When we come to [know] all the theories of contemporary mathematics, we see its unsoundness. I do not want to criticize science, but I say that the true scientists upon whose backs science stands keep silent. The true adepts know the exact distance between the Earth and the Sun. In their calculations there is a difference of only one centimeter, and if you go to the Sun you will find that indeed, there is only one centimeter difference. This interval does not allow you to touch the Sun completely. If you touch it, an explosion will occur. The same interval of one centimeter exists between one man and another. Some of you wish to destroy this distance and say: let us unite and let us destroy this border! All quarrels, all misunderstandings between people start precisely when they [the people] get too close to each other. If they touch each other, an explosion occurs between them. Why do these things happen? The handsome lad who is deprived of a mind, searches for some beautiful maiden to connect with. But the beautiful maidens are the worst house-wives. If a lad wants his hair to turn white, let him take on a pretty woman. And the opposite is also true. If a maiden wants her hair to turn white, let her take on a handsome lad. To be beautiful in mind, in soul, in heart, that I [can] understand; but to be only externally beautiful, this is the worst misfortune. The soul of man must be noble, mighty! The mind of man also must be pure and full of light! Every man [male] has to perceive the needs of his female companion, to sympathize fully with her situation. And in every moment, if he sees that she is in a difficult state, let him consider the problem in the same way as he would have done it for himself. If he is a clever man, let him put himself in her place. The same thing can be said about the woman. If we do not respect this [attitude], we put the candle under the bushel. So, to put the candle under the bushel, there must be a number of conditions. Now, we desire to live. It is a correct desire, life is a necessity. Every young person wants to live. The old ones also wish to live. There are a number of conditions, however, and if we fulfill them, we may live as long as we wish. For this, knowledge is required. The first quality required of the occult pupils is absolute patience. Patience is a conscious process of the mind. Nowadays people do not have patience. Someone is beaten up, and he is told: be patient! This is not patience, this is wretchedness. Patience is a quality of the free man. The patient man should not be outwardly indifferent to things. The statesman can be a patient man. The minister can be a patient man. The philosopher can be a patient man. The mother can also be patient. To be a patient man means to be a great man, to endure all difficulties in life; to lose $200,000 levs [6] and to walk as though even a flea has not bitten you. I will give you an example (a symbol --note tr.), let me see how you will interpret it. Imagine that your brother has gone somewhere and ten years later writes to you that he is about to return. You have attained wealth during that time and now you start preparing to meet your brother. But before your brother comes back, you have lost all your possessions, worth $500,000 levs and you are left with nothing. I ask you: will you be able to meet your brother in this case as cordially as you would have done if you had not lost that money? You will say: this is a misfortune! I will give you the same symbol in another form. Imagine that your brother is caught by a bandit's gang. You love your brother as you love yourself. They send people to tell you that your brother will be released, only on the condition that you pay $500,000 levs for him. You give this money and when your brother comes back, you are joyous. Why? - because your profit in this case is your brother. The $500,000 are gone, but you have saved your brother's life. That you gave $500,000 for the life of your brother, this is nothing. Some [people] say: Bulgaria has lost because of a similar act. What has Bulgaria lost? If those money have gone to pay ransom for something extremely valuable, are they not put in the right place? Who do you ransom? How many Bulgarians are there locked, imprisoned in the invisible world? The University professors know nothing about them. Do you know that for these prisoners in the invisible world the Bulgarians must pay $30 million levs in gold? You say: "Somehow Bulgaria does not have good luck". That is exactly why Bulgarians do not have a good luck. Those enslaved Bulgarians must be redeemed. How are you going to redeem them, can you tell me? Christ says: "I shall redeem them". And in truth, Christ will redeem them. But I ask: "Is Christ's Love manifested here in Bulgaria as Christ manifests it? I take Christ as He was 2000 years ago, the same way I take now the Bulgarian nation, at the head of whom is the whole priesthood, as followers of Christ, and I ask you like an external, unbiased person: "have the Bulgarian priesthood, also the Bulgarian people, applied Christ's Love? Go abroad and you will see that when they want to offend someone they call him Bulgarian. Go to Germany, go to England - everywhere the Bulgarian has a discredited name; everywhere the Bulgarians pass for barbarians. There is a very bad opinion about Bulgarians everywhere. I would consider that Christ's Love is applied in Bulgaria [only] if there were no gallows to be found anywhere, if no murder was taking place anywhere. In the war which the British waged for four years, only 3,500 people were killed and about 250 executed. How many people were killed and executed in the war which Bulgaria waged? I was told about a Bulgarian who was suffering from an epileptic illness and because of this, he stepped back on the battlefield at the time of a battle. But as a result of his action he was accused for not wanting to serve his country and was sentenced to be shot. They say: "these things should not be made public because they shake the nation's morale". It is not me who brings them up, these things are everywhere. The stability of a nation depends on the Love it contains in itself. A people cannot raise itself with killings, there must be stability within it! In this Love everyone must wish the well-being for all the Bulgarian people; and the whole Bulgarian people must wish the well-being for its members. Thus, when you visit some village, the villagers should meet you and treat you with a hearty meal. And when a villager comes to the city, you should meet him in the same way, there should be a competition between you all in this respect. When the villagers [7] come to visit you, how do you welcome them? And when you go and visit them, how do they welcome you? And all these are Bulgarians! One is a man of the city - Bulgarian, the other is a farmer - [also] Bulgarian. When you meet them, you see all of them separated in parties. And all are faithful, always thinking of their people. But of which people - of the city-dwellers or of the farmers? Some think of the city-dwellers, some of the farmers. The separation in parties is not a bad thing, but let this people learn. Those who are for the city-dwellers, let them teach the city-dwellers how to love; those who are for the villagers, let them teach the villagers how to love; those who are for the farmers, let them teach the farmers how to love; those who are for the military men, let them teach the military men how to love; those who are for the professors, let them teach the professors how to love; those who are for the mothers, let them teach the mothers how to love. The fathers, the brothers, the sisters, let them all preach about Love. I do not speak about the contemporary love. A young lad, Bulgarian, armed with two pistols during the uprising [8], said to his sweetheart: "Genka, do you see these Turks, I will kill them all! Come with me and do not be afraid". He was traveling with her through the Old Mountain (Balkans) when a bear jumped out at them. He left Genka and climbed up a beech tree, and from there told her: "Do not be afraid, I will be shooting from here". Genka saw her hero up in the tree, and said to him: "nothing can be achieved with shooting from above". I would consider that lad a hero who could get the bear by the ears and tell it: "Do you know that I love this girl? Do you know that I have faith? Come on, go away!" After this he would stroke the bear a little bit and say: "Off you go, let us not quarrel! You have to know that I love [Genka]." The bear will look at him and will say to itself: "If you love, then there is no problem any more". This is what I call heroism. While you are shooting with the rifle from above, your Genka will be finished ten times over. If you are in India, before you turn, the tiger will swipe your Genka and no one will be able to find her. These are figurative things. A student fails her exams with some schoolteacher. She says: "I do not want to live any more, I will kill myself." And indeed, when she fails [the exam], she buys poison and goes to poison herself, or hangs herself, or kills herself. How many students are there who have poisoned themselves in this way! What kind of morality is there in the act of failing a student? If he is going to kill himself, give him a mark of 3 (bare pass --note tr.) [9]. If you give him 3, the Lord will also give you 3, He will bless you. Sometimes the schoolteacher does not give way, he says: "Let him kill himself, I do not step back from my convictions." When the student kills himself, his mother, father, brothers, sisters and all his relatives mourn [for him]. Give him 3, be generous with this one digit. After this, tell the student: "I believe that in the future you will learn better, I have faith in you!" In view of him killing himself, give him 3 and let him live. You say: such is the morality of the schoolteacher. What kind of morality is it to let a student kill himself! Some students, when they find themselves in a difficult situation, beat their schoolteachers. I was told an anecdote about a student at University who compelled his professor to give him a good score. This student failed the exam with his professor, so he visited the professor's office one day and told him: "I have studied but failed; because of this I want you to correct my score." - "I cannot correct it" - "You cannot? Listen, you shall correct it, otherwise you will fly out of the window! Will you correct the score?" - "Please, please wait!" And the professor corrected the score, and gave 5. The student said: "Do not mess with me again". I will not narrate the story to you any further. This professor has convictions, he does not want to change the score, but when the subject comes to the point where he has to fly out of the window, he gives the student 5. The teachers should behave with love and the students should behave with respect. This candle must be ignited. If some of my lectures reach one of the high schools [10], the whole teachers' council will gather and will seek a way to safeguard the students from being captivated by the New Teaching. Their parents complain that these lectures have shaken the minds of their kids. They say that these lectures are not for the young ones. Who are they for then? I will prove to you that up to now the Sunlight has caused the worst evils [to happen]. Are not all the floods caused by the warmth and by the light? Are not all illnesses due to the warmth and the light? Is death not due to the warmth and the light? Are all fires not because of the Sun? Are all quarrels between men and women not because of the Sun? If the man and the woman were living in darkness, would they quarrel? No, they would not. Is the Sun guilty because of all this? No, it is not. We should understand the meaning of this light. If we do not know how to use the light, it shall bring in our lives the worst possible evils; but if we know how to use it, it shall bring the greatest blessings. Just as Christ turned to those who lived 2000 years ago, [so now also] He says: "The mind, which God inserted in man should not be put under a bushel, but rather, under a wide horizon, so as to serve for the well-being of those people in whom it lives". And all true learned people who occupy themselves with science are sent by the invisible world for the well-being of [all] other people. Every man is born with a certain inclination for something. I praise the scientists for one thing, namely, that they live all their lives working without being paid. Every scientist who dedicates 20 or 30 years of his life to science without payment, he is an idealist. A musician who dedicates the whole of his life to music, or a sculptor, or an artist who dedicate the whole of their lives to art, these are the people who stimulate mankind [to go] forward. Thus all of us must work without payment, and must obey the Law of God. And when this candle becomes kindled in the mind of anyone, that man shall know how to use the powers and the laws of Nature. A farmer would not till 100 acres of land; for him 10 acres are enough [11]. If a Chinese man possesses 4 acres of land, he is considered a rich man. A Chinese man is capable of receiving as much harvest [from 4 acres] as the Bulgarian can from 50 acres. If we had true knowledge, we would have known how to shorten our labor. The students of today use a lot of time for their studies; such is our contemporary educational system. According to my understanding, four hours are enough for studying: two hours before lunchtime and two hours after lunchtime. Most of the time should be spent [by the students] studying Nature in the midst of it, together with the schoolteachers. For instance, botany should be studied among the flowers. And where should religious life be studied? Not in the Church, but rather in the midst of the poor folks. When some people desire to pray, they should not go to the Church, but they should visit a poor widow instead. This is the best Church. This is the best prayer. If you wish to pray, we will send you to the poor foster children, those who are left without their mothers and fathers. This is the best Church. There you will be the priest; you will pray and you will take them to the Lord. In this way you will send the best prayer. And so, when you get up in the morning you will put on new garments and [clothed] like that you will enter [the place] where the foster children are, so they can enjoy your visit. What kind of garments will you put on? Living garments; [made] of bread, of water, of little clothes, of warmth, of knowledge, of sweet words. This is what I understand to be religion! The modern-day religion which we have in America, in England, it used to be good, but in the past; in the future this religion will not be capable of uplifting you, because it is said: "This people approach me with their mouth, but their hearts are far away from me". You have gathered here to hear my lecture, but you must know that what will uplift you toward God are your good intentions which you can apply even today. All of you are rich, you just have to kindle your candles, to take your keys and to open your safes. I do not want you to give away all your treasure, but give as much as your heart allows you to do, by love, and think how you would like others to behave towards you if you were poor. If we apply all this in exactly this way, we will have the greatest science. When good intentions are formed in the human soul, only then will Nature reveal its knowledge, its secrets and will start to teach us. The man who gives is [also] given. For a man who is generous, poverty does not exist. What poverty means, he does not [even] know. "With the measure you use, it will be measured to you.". Attract clever people, do not befriend the silly ones. When you gather with stupid people, you should have the wish to throw more light so they can also become bright. When you gather with bad people, you should awaken in them with your righteous life their fervent wish to be righteous too. We should not be excessively zealous; but how should we work? Without [any] force, but with love. How do they act in the contemporary governments? When a new law is released in the parliament, all newspapers announce it and insist on its application. All policemen watch for its application and woe to the one who does not apply it. But this is oppression. If this application [of the law] has to come through oppression, what would the results be? You know the consequences of oppression. Oppression gives birth to oppression. Why did Christ not come with His Angels, to introduce fear and shuddering, and to impose Himself? Why did He come poor and had to be persecuted, He had to be denigrated by the Jews and had to be crucified by the Roman soldiers? In the coming of Christ precisely in this way is hidden the salvation of the world. In suffering is the salvation of humanity. I speak about sufferings in which man can rejoice. Christ says about the conscious sufferings: "I have come for this hour. My sufferings will become the cause for many people's upliftment and rejoicing." Only through sufferings the future great souls can be born. Through this act, an impulse for the sublime in the world will be accumulated. If Christ had come as a King, this internal impulse would have not been born in people. Every one of you who wishes to understand the sufferings of Christ must by all means acquire internal humility. The Scriptures say: "God lives in the Souls of the humble". You must understand humility in its depth and life-giving power. To be humble means that you are aware of your capabilities to do everything, but at the same time are so sweet-hearted, that you would give way [even] to an ant. Christ says: "No one lights a candle and puts it in a hidden place". You too, [should] kindle your candles! And then, if you are an artist, paint on [the light of] this candle, on this Sun! If you do not posses this candle, nothing will come out of you. If you are a poet, write on [the light of] this candle! If you are a preacher, preach on [the light of] this candle! If you are a farmer, the first thing you should do is to ignite this candle and than go and plough. If you go [to plough] when this Sun has not yet risen, nothing will come out [of your work]. I am speaking about the internal candle, not about the external Sun. The kindling of this candle represents an internal process inside us. We have deceptive objective understandings, we think that the light is outside of us. No, the internal light is much stronger than the external. Christ says: "You are light". That light which comes from the Sun, this is the life of those Beings which shine; They are radiant Beings. From these rational Beings proceeds the light in the world. Where there is light, there is life and rationality. Where there is no light, there is no life, there is no rationality. About the latter situation, it is said with the words of Christ: "This light is put under the bushel". And so, work only under this light, which God has instilled in you. Sometimes you speak about the Sun; it is an emblem. This external Sun is a reflection of the other Sun, which is invisible. Also, the Scripture says that in the future God shall be our Sun. Thus, this [external] Sun only represents the Power of God, which is projected through it. And in the mind which God has implanted in us, we must inscribe faith. We should have faith in this mind, in this candle, because it is from God. Through it God manifests Himself to us. If we do not have faith in our mind, if we do not have faith in our thoughts, in our feelings, than who can we have faith in? Man has faith in other people as much as he has faith in himself. Man must acquire faith in its fullness - in himself and in the Divine. If he restores this faith, he will restore his relationships with others also. The first thing [is]: we must acquire complete faith in the Divine which lives within us. Lecture 4 July 1926, Sofia --==[][][]==-- ___________________________________________ Notes: [1] Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. [2] This is reference to the time before 1878 when Bulgaria was under Ottoman rule. [3] Lira was adopted as the national currency in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. [4] Kadhi (also Qadi, Kadi etc.) during the Ottoman period was a local judge in charge of minor disputes and/or magistrate responsible for the city services. [5] i.e. the Russian word for 'stomach' (jhivot) coincides with the Bulgarian word for 'life' (also 'jhivot') [6] Lev (pl. leva) is the currency of Bulgaria. [7] Shop (pl. shopi) is an ethnographic group inhabiting Shopluk, a region located in the whole of Western Bulgaria and parts of today's Eastern Serbia and Macedonia. Colloquially, the terms is often used to refer to the peasants in the area around Sofia. [8] Most probably the Master refers here to the April (1876) uprising in Bulgaria against the Ottoman rule, which was ultimately seeking re-establishment of an independent Bulgarian state. [9] In Bulgaria the students were marked from 2 (fail) to 6 (equivalent of A). 3 (roughly equivalent to D) although a very low mark, ensures a pass. [10] A 'gymnasium' is a type of school providing secondary education, comparable to English grammar schools and US preparatory high schools. It is designed to prepare pupils for College/University education. [11] The Master uses the unit 'decare' which was and still is typically used in the measurement of land in Bulgaria. One decare [da] (from 'deka', i.e. 10 and 'are') is the same as 10 acres, which is the same as 1000 square metres. Consequently, the numbers mentioned in the lecture are approximately: 100 decares are 25 acres, 10 decares are 2.5 acres, 4 decares are one acre, 50 decares are 12 acres. This note is just to give an idea of the sizes of land the Master speaks about.

From The Truth In Egypt "Now, they having departed, behold, an Angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying: Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you: for Herod will seek the child to destroy him." (Matthew 2:13) There are two outlooks on life, i.e. two outlooks exist only among people, while among the animals - among the fish, among the birds, among the mammals - and among the plants, there is only one outlook. As soon as we come to man, we find two outlooks on life, and this is why man is called "chovek" [bulgarian for "man"]; while this word originally means: "a creature of contradictions". Because the whole philosophy of things is contained in this - in the contradictions [1]. In order for a creature to begin thinking, it has to come upon a contradiction. This is [really] a fact - it is psychologically true. Those children who do not come across contradictions are not able to think; also those adults for whom everything is in plenitude [they, too] are not able to think. Plenitude, in the full sense of the word, means that the heart has all the riches [possible], and [thus] such people are not able to think. They have a single outlook: it is the outlook of the fish, the birds and the animals. Only when we [come to] feel a certain contradiction within life, only then do we begin to think. Contemporary philosophers explain these contradictions in one way; religious people explain them in another way; the people of the practical life, they, too, have their own way, according to which they construct their explanations. Religious people ascribe all contradictions to sin. They say that some being fell somewhere - they do not know when, thousands of years ago - this being had envied man. And, therefore, this spirit - they call him a demon who tortures them - he is the one who has introduced all contradictions. And for whatever happens in religious life, who is to be blamed? - Always this old devil. A murder happens somewhere, treachery, money is stolen, women, an outbreak of war, they say: "Where did this devil come from? He is the cause"; i.e. we view life subjectively. With a single stroke - this is it, a philosophy, this devil is to be blamed for everything. The philosophers, however, find the contradictions in the very matter itself, in the forces, in this mechanical construction of the Universe; while the practical people say: this devil - these are the economic conditions - the "bite" [2]. This "bite", if it is not, then there is nothing, but if this "bite" is there, it creates all [possible] benefits. And according to them, this, the best thing - the "bite", it creates all the contradictions and - the worst evils. And I think that they are much closer to the truth that the religious people. Yes, the "bite" is, according to their philosophy, the cause of evil. They say thus: "for people to sin - this is implanted in man already with the first bite [3] which entered the mouth." And they are right, because Eve, who was chaste, pure, when she took the first bite of the "bite", she, as well as everyone, became corrupt. These are their arguments. I support neither of them, but I [simply] state things as they are. And, therefore, during our existence on the Earth, life is either rational or irrational; either everything is strictly mathematically defined, or all this is a coincidence, a possibility, a probability. These two outlooks exist now. Those who hold the latter outlook say: everything is by chance - people are born by chance, they eat by chance, get married by chance, fight by chance and die, also by chance; someone has lost money or gained it - still by chance. But the others say: everything is strictly determined, nothing is by chance. You have to eat, because there are causes for this. That the causes are rational, there is no doubt. You yourself create all the troubles upon your head: you want more money, yet, when you take them, someone else also wants to have more money, and [so] they beat you because of the money. Thus you cause all your troubles - to get beaten. While the contemporary technicians and engineers, or materialists, say: when a force meets a resistance on its way, friction is always created and a fire explodes. Therefore, in this case money, or all the benefits, are all counteractions, and, when the energies which function within us meet these counteractions, an explosion is immediately generated. Now, someone may ask if this is true. It is true. Let the wife [4] put her hand in her husband's [5] purse - he has 10 thousand levs and she takes them away from him - the husband will immediately shout: "Where is my money?" The balance is lost - [as it turns out] the money was at the bottom of the ship, they were the ballast of the vessel, and it was in equilibrium. But the wife - without understanding this law of the ballast - takes it away from the bottom of the ship and, [naturally], the husband stands up and says: "Where is the ballast?" - But I need it. - "But do you know that we may sink?" And so, arguments often happen in the world because of this ballast - sometimes they are pleasant, and sometimes unpleasant; sometimes they are settled in a friendly manner, and sometimes they are settled according to the method of Don Quixote or according to the method of Sancho Panza [6]. That is, do not think that Sancho Panza was much more clever than Don Quixote, but he was a practical man, he had an intimate knowledge of life, while Don Quixote was an idealist, he understood life ideally, but he did not understand it practically; and [so] we laugh when reading, but both Sancho Panza is right and Don Quixote is right. And the contemporary world is full of Don Quixotes and Sancho Panzas. This is not an insult, I am [simply] stating a fact. If you enter the schools, you will find many programs which are arranged according to the ideal of Don Quixote, there is nothing practical there; other schools have a practical orientation, but they lack the idealistic. And so they argue. When Don Quixote comes, he will apply his laws. First of all, he will start with God - he puts up a sign: religion must be taught first of all - the Law of God [7], and then all other things. Sancho Panza comes: "Down - he says - with this sign! This is not modern, what is needed is what is practical, people have to live - to eat, [some] "bite" is needed. Once we have eaten, then we will think of the Lord". And Sancho Panza reasons thus: first of all, for a man to think, he must have eaten. Is a hungry man able to think? And Sancho Panza says: "The hungry man will think of stealing, but the sated man will think of some philosophy". Now, contemporary people will say: "We are neither Don Quixotes, nor Sancho Panzas". I am glad that you are like this. But you should marry Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and a child should be born, it will be the 'third' one and it will have the outlooks of [both] Sancho Panza and Don Quixote. Out of these two unified outlooks you will have something new. And the world asks "how will Salvation be brought about?". - Through marrying Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. These are symbols: Sancho Panza may be a man, he may also be a woman. Everything may be a man or a woman, that is to say, with respect to form. But the one who wrote "Don Quixote" has made him male. Why? And Sancho Panza, he is male as well, with respect to form. But Don Quixote fights because of his beloved, for the sake of his Dulcinea. The woman [as such] is a cause for him to manifest his heroism. Whatever endeavors he undertakes - a [certain] beautiful woman is on his mind. For her sake he is ready to sacrifice his life. And Sancho Panza also believes in his master, but he has quite a different outlook. He tells Don Quixote: "When you conquer your kingdom, give me some land, so that I may cultivate it and sustain my children." This is why Don Quixote is lean, of tall stature, with long, lean hands, a long and slender nose, sharp eyes, and a straightened forehead; while Sancho Panza - he is a shortish man, around 145 cm, he is like a keg, has short hands, fingers - very thick at the base, thickish lips, thickish nose. When he sits at the table to have a bite, he smiles like a [bright] Moon and says: "This is the meaning of life!" Now, if contemporary people, who criticize, can see only this - the comical [element] - in a novel, in a play, then they have not understood the loftier meaning; contemporary people are not people of ideas, they are people of fanciful-experiences, but not learned people. Someone has read some book, he imagines himself as a duke or an earl, but this is not enough - you need to have the blood of this duke. Therefore, ideas are something which we have to acquire in the world. And these ideas are given only through the contradictions. The law of evolution requires contradictions as a necessity. This is a law [applicable] only for the human kingdom. In the other kingdoms there is no sin - sin only exists in the human kingdom; and all those beings which are directly or indirectly connected with the people, they are all contaminated by sin. The only sinful beings in the world are the people, there are no other sinful beings. All other beings live their lives in peace and love, and understand God - only people do not understand Him, and think that the whole world is upside down. Judges, philosophers and scientists wish to make out that sin penetrates the whole Universe and they call this "world gloom" [8], and they ask themselves: why does this sin exist? Here is what I liken these writers to: in South America there is certain desert, and when the travelers walk there they raise so much dust around themselves that they are not able to see anything and think that the whole world is [made up] only of haze, even though the dust extends only 200 metres around them. [similarly], this philosophy projects the sin onto the other worlds as well, but there they live very well, as I [myself] know. They will say: "Prove this with [scientific] data [9]". And I will say: you must also prove [your claims] with [scientific] data. I can [indeed] prove with [scientific] data, I am able to prove mathematically, to debate with mathematicians. In the human body, given a certain form, I can prove that sin is bounded within a certain space of the Universe. And they will see that this is so. But this is a detached mathematical question and if I were to decide to prove this, do you know how this matter would turn out? A famous violinist went to Paris, he gave several concerts there and succeeded in winning the sympathies of all. Before leaving, one evening, he wanted to give an outstanding concert so that they would remember him, so that the papers would write that he played something beautiful. Unfortunately, however, he started to play a very long aria, for several hours, so that when the listeners became tired they began to leave one by one and at last only the attendant was left with the key; the violinist, full of inspiration, continued to play. The attendant went to him and said: "Sir, please, I have to sleep, take this key and when you finish your piece, close the theater". And I find the contemporary philosophers to be like this violinist: some come out and speak so much that we tell them: "Now then, take this key, and when you finish your dissertation, close your theater, because we are going to sleep". And especially the Bulgarians, they do not like long dissertations very much. The Bulgarian is practical: "Tell me in a couple of words what you want to say. Is there a Lord or is there no Lord? Is there an "other world", or is there no "other world", and do not stretch things out. I do not have time, I have to attend to the field. Is there a Lord or not? If there is not, I am heading for the field to plough. If there is a Lord, I will go to serve Him; but if there is not, I will work for myself." This is how he resolves the issue. "Is there an "other world" or not? I am asking you to tell me". And after you tell him that there is an other world, the Bulgarian says: "Have you been there? Have you seen it? Have you experienced it?" And when you tell him that you have visited the other world, he will say: "Really, is it possible to visit the other world, amazing!, then I will go as well!" He is very practical, he wants to try, he is ready to do everything, but if he senses that you lied once, then the matter changes. There is a God, because in the world Love exists. And there is an other world, because there is this world. And the other world and this world, they are one and the same world. When you speak about "the other world", you speak about a world you do not understand, while when you speak about this world, you speak about a world you do understand. Therefore, the world I do not understand, I call - the other world; and the world I do understand, I call - this world. There is the other world, which we do not know, while this world is the world which we [do] know. Therefore, we call the known physical, whereas we call the unknown spiritual. But what is the physical and what is the spiritual? The physical world is the manifested world, while the spiritual world is the unmanifested world. When I say "unmanifested", it does not mean that it does not actually exist, but only that this world has not taken form for our feelings yet - it has taken form for our conception only; it is beyond our feelings and we call it - spiritual world. And this spiritual world is the cause of everything that happens on the Earth. And, if you wish, you may do any experiment you like. You say: "I believe [10] that I am a master of myself, I have will, I am able to do anything I like". But you are not able to do whatever you like, you can only do whatever you are ordered, like a soldier on the battlefield: you will shoot, because you are ordered to. You are a priest - you serve in the Church because you are paid; you will serve, the people want it. You say: "I am free to serve or not". No, you are not free: whoever has taken the vows is not free; whoever is a preacher is not free. And given this, we boast that we are able to think. Only free people are able to think, while people who are not free - they [merely] repeat things. And, therefore, contemporary people repeat time and again, they recite, in my opinion, excellent declamations: "Green you are, my forest, you savor of the air of youth, but in my heart you rouse only sorrow and regretful-truth" [11]. Ah, an excellent poet, he recites excellently. "I," someone says," believe in the triune God". It is a declamation. "The Lord exists" - you recite; "I am Bulgarian" - you recite. "But I am learned" - you recite, nothing more! You are Bulgarian, your father, your mother are Bulgarian, you were born among them - you recite. Will you tell me then, what is the Bulgarian blood? By what is this blood distinguished? Some say, that I cannot reason. Today I will reason philosophically and very objectively. Those learned chemists, naturalists, have they analyzed the Bulgarian blood, and by what it is different from the English blood etc.? Where are their tables and calculations? What is the Bulgarian blood like? I wish to see it, to see the results from it. What is its distinction? When some naturalist speaks of a certain seed, he has to describe not only the external form and signs, but also the internal ones, and even what results each single seed may produce. You have Bulgarian blood. What is your blood like? Not only have the Bulgarians not defined what its distinction is, but also the Englishmen, they also say: "I am English, English blood flows in my veins" But their chemists have also not defined what their blood is. What is its distinction? Bulgarians, English, French, Russians, Americans assemble and say: "Bulgarian blood flows here". The Englishman, he also says: "English blood flows". Always Bulgarian, Russian, American blood flows, but what is the blood [like] there? All people speak using unknown numbers, with suppositions. And therefore, I consider them, I say: those Bulgarians recite excellently, and the Germans, the English, the French and the Americans, all recite, but they do not yet think. The theosophists define that man is "manas" - a creature, which thinks. Yes, the first people, who came to the Earth, who created the Earth, thought; but those which stayed on to govern it, they ceased to think. Now, sometimes I see that when I am giving a lecture, some will take a passage out of it and will say: "He corrupts the Bulgarian people". Well then, tell me the elements of my corrupting speech, the element which changes life. Good. I have nothing against being criticized, but let those critics be rational critics. Let them prove what the elements of this corruption are. According to our understanding, corruption {razvrashtenie}, "to unbolt {razvartam}" [12], this means: if on a wheel where all bolts are tightened, you loosen {razvartash} them, you are causing corruption {razvrashtenie} and those people who are in the car may fall. I ask you, please tell me: on what car of yours, which bolt have I loosened? Who are the witnesses? I am prepared to listen. Say: - On the rear wheel, on such and such a place, you have loosened the so and so bolt, and I will admit that I have corrupted and that there was a danger for the people to fall. I use the word "loosen" in a very mild form. And everyone must think, and I would like all of you who listen to me [now], likewise, to think very soundly and not to recite. "I believe in God" - this is not belief, this is declamation. Are you prepared to die for this Lord, in whom you believe, to sacrifice yourself, to give away all your wealth? For your wife, for your children, can you die for them? This is conviction; although it is a delusion, it is still an ideal, people find meaning in it. That man [who does this] is a hero, he dies for an idea. But you, the zealous believer, who believes in the one triune God, but are not prepared to give a single hair of your beard, allow me to have doubt in your faithfulness. We must reason correctly: do we think or not? You should know, is Bulgarian blood flowing in your veins or is it not flowing, and from where does this Bulgarian blood take its beginning. Does not every river have its own source? From where does the Bulgarian blood take its beginning, and where does the English blood take its beginning from? I will be glad, let them tell me where from the source of [all these] things begins. And there is a significant difference in the blood of the [different] people. I will be sincere. What color does this Bulgarian blood give to the Bulgarian face? - Blackish, it means that in the Bulgarian blood carbon predominates primarily, or the carbon energy, which compels him to keep close to the Earth, that is why he is a ploughman, a gardener, a shepherd. While in the blood of the Englishman, hydrogen predominates, the hydrogen energy, that is why he is a merchant, he sails everywhere across the sea, his people are all over the world. Yes, I say, there is more water in the blood of the Englishman. And if you wish to befriend the Englishman, give him good water to drink. But if you wish to befriend the Bulgarian, give him a piece of land, he will remember you, he will say: "He gave me very good land". And so, the Bulgarians became Bulgarians when carbon prevailed in their blood; the English became English when hydrogen prevailed in their blood. These are energies within Nature. But one day these energies will change. And the Bulgarian of today will change, something new will come out of him and he will not be called Bulgarian anymore. And a time will come when the English will also change. They will not be called English. They will be called something new. And the Bulgarians and the English of our day will remain in the archive, to be studied like an ancient thing - how they manifested themselves in the past. And so, we all must turn back and start to think and to reason, at first about ourselves - and not to occupy ourselves with other philosophies. First of all we must occupy ourselves with the mighty philosophy of our body, with those great causes which have started to act from the beginning, with the causes which have created the hand. The hand is not complete yet. What had Nature thought when she created the eye, the ear, the human mouth, the tongue, the nose, what is the significance [13] of all these organs? What is their designation? Is the only purpose of the human tongue to simply roll the food? Of the tongue in the mammals, people think that it has a sole purpose - to roll the food. In reality, however, the tongue has three tasks: not only to pass the food to the throat, but also to taste, to distinguish between foods, and the third task is to speak and sing. These are all tasks of the tongue. I will ask now, if Nature has set these organs [in place], what did she initially think? You do not have any memories of this. You see that you have a tongue, that you have eyes; but [of] how these eyes have been created, how this tongue has been created, your ear, the brain, you have absolutely no conception at all. And if I were to ask some one of you: do you know how many nerves there are inside the human body? how many nerves through which the body functions? They are 700-800 million separate little nerves, with which this great kingdom exists. There are so many wires through which all the possible energies in Nature function and the perceptions occur. Do you know how many days you need to read them? Just you put some effort to read 1,000,000 and then calculate how many years it will take you to read 800 million. And do you know how long it took Nature, and how many millions of beings have worked for these wires? Do you know what these electricians of the invisible world, who put this installation inside your body, were like? And someone stands and says: "Splendidly and fearfully is Man created." But how was all this created? The prophet wrote: "splendidly and fearfully" he thinks, but with what does he think? Yes, fearfully, 800 million wires, there are little long ropes [...?], do you understand [14]? And do you know that if they were to put you in some factory to make these wires, and you were to pay [for this], even 10 billion would not be enough. Some of them are so thin, that the manufacturer will say: It is not possible to make such thin wires in our factory". But if you attend a special expedition to go to the Sun, Mars, Saturn or somewhere else, to make this installation and to return... have you thought about this excursion [15]? When an engineer from the invisible world comes to make an invention, he works, [he] returns to the Earth, you will wait for a long time and [then] you will [finally] hear: on such and such a place new wires have appeared. And when we examine the brain of the lower creatures, [we see that] in the front part of the brain there are white nerves [which are still] in an embryonic state, while in man they are long [and developed], and through them the human thought manifests and functions. Do you know from which factory they were made? Some want to convince us that they are made in the brain. Nature has prepared these particles from far-distant spaces, and then they are carried over to the Earth by means of four types of energies: I am now substituting the Hindu terms with ours - carbonic, hydrogenic, nitrogenic and oxygenic energies. I take the word hydrogen - it signifies those energies which are connected with the hydrogen atom. And there are much deeper causes {prichini} for a given atom to be a carbon atom or a hydrogen atom, than contemporary chemists think. There are completely different reasons {prichini}, upon which we are not going to dwell, these are fields which we will think about in the future. This is a grand, profound science. These energies were carried-through in parts, and then that Great Installer came and began to place this installation, and your brain began to work, and you - to think. So, in order for some of these wires to be manufactured in the Angelic factories, it costs 10 billion levs in gold; these wires are only 2-3 millimeters long and very thin. And when you sit back and say: "This head, why did the Lord give it to me, [it would have been] better if He had given me money!" - My friend, you have in your head a small wire, 10 billion are spent on it, not banknotes, but gold - effektiv [16], so that you would think. And you, who now recite, you say: "Why has the Lord given me these abilities, these talents, when I cannot show my worth [17]?" It is comical, for the son to accuse his father: "Why has my father bought me a violin and a bow, when I cannot play [a musical instrument]? I want to play [some game]". Your father has hired an excellent teacher, he has bought musical scores for you and everything [else besides], you only need to play [(on the musical instrument)]. And now the contemporary people who recite say: "These things are very deep. If we begin to think, our heads will fly off [18], and, therefore, because our heads will fly off, we must not think. And anyone who dares say anything, he is a heretic, he is a liar - he deceives the people". Oh well, tell me then, in what do your truths consist? I do not mind, but when we say "liar", this is a very strong word. What does "lie" {laja} or "lick" {lija} stem from in Bulgarian [19]? I would like some of you, if there are any philology students from University here, to be so kind as to ask your professors: the root of the word "lie", where did it stem from, and is that root purely Bulgarian, is it Slavic, or is it a word which originates from some older language; and what is its archetypal root - you will do me a great favor. You lie, this means, that you do not speak the truth. Good. But define for me then what kind of thing the truth is. If we speak of the truth and the lie we should define them as two values [20]. By what do they differ? Truth, when it enters man, introduces an element of courage. When one knows the truth about a given idea, he is ready to die for it. While the lie, when it enters man, makes him cowardly. Therefore, anything that makes people cowardly is a lie: this is so according to logic. Anything which makes man cowardly contains a lie within itself; but anything which makes man courageous and decisive, to think and reason, draws him closer to the truth. It is so in practice. Does that, which I speak to you, make you cowardly? If it makes you cowardly, then I am telling you a lie. But, if what I speak to you makes you courageous, decisive and happy in life, then I am speaking the truth to you. And then, who speaks the truth and who speaks the lie? And you should not only be encouraged for a single moment. No, no. I can give you a little wine, you become courageous and say: "Do you know who I am?" But then, when you become sober, you say: "I myself do not know who I am". In the truth such changes do not exist, there you will know yourself better, you will always be courageous. And therefore, the truth presupposes that it is without changes and brings light within itself. And for all those plants which are strong and healthy, this is how I can determine their strength - [i.e.] that they have been under the influence of the sunlight; but those flowers in the cellar are very fragile, because the sunlight was lacking for them. And so, truth makes things flexible and pliable, while the lie makes them fragile and unstable. Now, you will ask me a question: what happened there with your verse 13? But of course, this number 13 is fatal, I am speaking precisely about the number 13. It means - "does this man think now ?". Joseph is the man who thinks and reasons. "And take his mother" - mother, this is the contradiction which impels us to think. While in Hebrew, the letter M signifies death. So then, death is associated with two processes in Nature. One which destroys, and the other which builds-up. You cannot build-up if you have not destroyed something. These two processes work simultaneously in Nature, and through them thought occurs. And from all metamorphoses, life and death originate. Mary is the woman, who passes through, demolishes and purifies everything. She gave birth to a child and spoiled the affairs of people, and this child has created for them a whole misfortune. And do you know how many people died because of this child? The inquisition alone has scorched 50 million such people. And what about Nero, the Roman emperor, how many people did he kill? And now how many people have passed away at the battlefields [21]? So then, Mary, who gave birth to a child, brought great trouble upon men. Therefore, she wishes to cleanse, to uproot everything, and to plant something new; so when Christ came, the Angel told him: "Go to Egypt". Egypt is the physical world. This child, in order for it to understand the world, must go to Egypt to study [22]. What is the Earth for? The material world, the physical world, is a world [made] for science. And when you are being expelled from somewhere, the Lord tells you: "You have to go to Egypt, to learn", and when you return again, you will know how to reason about those things which Nature has created. And if you ask me: "Why are we on the Earth?", I will tell you - to study. In every learning there is suffering, but learning itself is not suffering, it produces suffering; whereas suffering is like a foundation for us to be able to learn certain things. Therefore, we are in the physical world to study. Very well! What should we study? They say: "I am Bulgarian", over there someone else will say: "I am Serbian". And then those philologists of the Serbians will say: "You should consider the Bulgarians enemies, because they hinder your nationality". And the Bulgarians will also say: "You should despise the Serbians, they hinder your Bulgarian culture". And [both] the ones and the others pray in the name of God, they appeal to this Lord, as though this Lord does not know His work and is in need of being taught by them. The Serbians, those faithful fathers of a nation, say: "You, Lord, do You not want to know what You are doing with us?" And the Lord, after casting a look from above says: "These very learned children of mine have become excellent philosophers, they have divided themselves into Bulgarians, Serbians and so on and think that their games are so serious that I, too, should come to play with them. But you may play thousands of years and one day, when you grow wiser and cease being Bulgarians and Serbians, I will come to set you in order." These words are not mine, Christ had taught the same teaching. And Apostle Paul says: "In Christ there are neither Judeans, nor Hellenes, nor Scythians, nor slaves". Therefore, all these contradictions have originated from reciting: we do not think, we repeat, we always declaim and declaim, until this declamation is lost. But the time has already come for thought as well - for serious thought. The declamation has worn out and become meaningless. An assessment commission is coming, they do not want declamations. They give you an exercise, solve it now, they throw away the sleeves [23] and there will not be any classmates which will give you a cue; I want you to reason seriously. Everyone knows this way, he looks up the sleeve and says "I know" - he speaks, he answers [24], ... but when they take him [the capable student] to the blackboard - only the capable students work on the board while the incapable ones gulp - he begins these formulae, develops them and reasons mathematically; while those who do not know, look at the teacher, and say: "Tell us something". But he is far away, because there is a commission; this commission has come into the world and will call each of you to the blackboard - there is no declamation now, you must solve the exercise. This is why when I say that the time of the declamations has run out, I would like this time to continue, but the Lord will call you to the black board, He will give you an envelope [25] and there will be no one around you. There, at the board, you will perspire a bit. And, when you leave this commission, it will tell you either that you know how to think, or that you only know how to declaim. It will report in the invisible world, it will say: "Reverend such-and-such, he is an excellent preacher, but does not know how to think." "Mr. so and so, Ivan Draganov, an excellent professor, with a degree in astronomy; another, Ivan Stoyanov teaches biology, but does not know how to think". "Dragan Stoyanov, teaches philosophy, but does not know how to think". All recite, but do not know how to think. Thus the commission decides from above: "They do not know how to think". What do they do? - [they] recite. They are excellent children of the declamation, who pass for professors. And so, the Angel says: "Take your son and his mother and go to Egypt to study [26]". And this Angel now comes and says to you: "Off you go to Egypt". And you will sigh about Jerusalem. But this Jerusalem is a place for sacrifices, while in Egypt there is wisdom, order and harmonious-construction [27]. And why did the Lord lay waste to Jerusalem? There the Jews began to make so many sacrifices, that the temple began to smell of blood. And the Lord said: "Tear down this temple, I do not want blood. I want people to think, to serve with their mind, with their heart, with their soul". And today this Lord is coming, and if contemporary people do not learn, He will say the same to them as well, and all the temples will be destroyed [just] as the temple of Jerusalem [was torn down], and He will send everyone to Egypt. It will happen thus all around the world, everything will be destroyed. "Eh" you will say now, "prove this!" I will send you, when the temples are ruined, I will send you to see them, and I will tell you: See them! Is it true? - "Why did this happen?" - Because you did not think, you did not fulfill the Will of God but followed your own will. You did not study, but you said : "You lie". When someone comes to speak the truth, you wish to get rid of him. The lie tears down, while the truth builds-up. But, if I were the first to speak the truth, I tell you: "You are fortunate people, I respect you". Well, let me see your culture, let me see your prisons, your churches, schools, your wives, your maidens and lads, how you live in your homes. I would like to draw a lesson from your lofty moral {moral}. I am ready to make the visit now. Do you have this morality {moral}? If you were so clever, where do these debts of yours come from? You have more than 20 billion to [re]pay. You have more than 10-15 ministers killed on the streets like dogs. Where is this from? And is this the only thing? I am valiant enough to tell you the truth, and I do not wish you evil, you must not be mistaken; but this is not Bulgarianism, this is barbarism. And when the Western nations wish to define the Bulgarians, they say: "You are barbarians", and to a certain extent they are right. The Bulgarians are barbarians, whereas the Western nations make their appearance after [their time of] barbarianism . Now, let us resolve the problem for ourselves. Can you solve the problem? Because the Bulgarians as individuals do not exist. This is a collective unit [constituted] from many [single] units. Now I will tell you: are you able to love? "Well", you will say, "now you have touched [upon] our heart, how warm it is!" I am glad, indeed I am glad, this is what I wish - love, but I say, on your love, on this fire, is it possible to forge something useful, is it possible to spin a thread? Or is it possible for fruits to ripen upon your love: apples, plums, pears? Now you will say: "Now we are in trouble". What [...]? Yes, when fruits begin to ripen from the rays of your heart, then the world will be set right. This is possible - upon the human heart the best apples can grow. Upon the love from above the best pears and cherries grow. And, when I speak in this way, some say: "This language is very enigmatic". It is not enigmatic, because if you begin to study the human body, you will see the whole of Nature - man is a microcosm; whatever occurs in the whole Universe, the same occurs in man. In man everything ripens: apples, pears, cherries, grapes! Therefore, these pears and apples of yours do not ripen from the sunlight, but from your love, so that whoever tastes may say: "This man has excellent grapes". "Arise!" says the Angel, "take the child and his mother and go to Egypt". Egypt, this is the body, here the worms will eat it. And the body of the one, who does not know how to reason, the worms will come to teach him how to reason [28] . If you have not studied your stomach, you say: the stomach is just a paunch which the Lord will destroy. The brain is useless, this is not needed, that is not needed. The religious people say that it is also possible [to live] without a body. The secular people, they also go to another extreme. The religious people are Don-Quixotes. I do not wish to offend you, you will excuse me. Such is the train of thought. We will live for God, we will not blemish ourselves like Don Quixote. Don Quixote lives in his mind for his Dulcinea alone. And Sancho Panza reasons that he needs to eat, trembles over his body when something pains him, and says: "Dear doctor", and there is lamb-kin, and turkey-poult: "Man can only live with this". He is a practical man: he thinks that his stomach is a mill, thus far he has come, that he has to mill. When you tell the unsober man to drink water, he says: "Wine is created by God for us, while water is for the frogs". Sancho Panza says thus. Can you prove to me that the Lord has created wine? I know that water is created by God, while wine is from men. The Lord has created the grapes, but the wine is yours. Therefore, you recite, you do not think. And then they will take this wine, they will make it to be "Christ's blood". But the wine which should pour [out] from our tongue, this is the rational word. Man must not lie. Do you understand? When I speak, my heart hurts for you, when I see that you create all your misfortunes yourselves. And when I speak, I have the whole desire that you do not suffer. Salvation is before you. You need only make a semicircle, and you will change your front. This always happens when man is weighed down. And when you say: "I am in great trouble", I say: make a semicircle and the good fortune [29] will come. You say: "How many circles we have done!" You will set out in such a direction, towards the North and towards the East, and then you will put everything in. But you will say: "To the North? Don't you know that it is cold there? And from the East the Sun rises, what will I seek there? I will go South and West". I say: until now all your misfortunes have been created in these two places, and, because warmth is produced in the South, while the West creates density, the matter has become so dense, and the fire which penetrates into this matter has become so strong, that you torment yourself. Go towards the Truth - go East and North, this fire will diminish and rarefy and warmth will form, in which your fruits may ripen. Now you will tell me: "Can you prove this?" Well then, you will come with me, we will hold each other hand-in-hand, you will think the way I think, [and] you will feel as I do, and if within a year you do not see the results of my science, then you may say something, but until a year has passed you will say nothing. Someone says: "I think" - My friend, until now you have not thought. Your wife has commanded you - if you are a man, of course. On the street, when you walk and go to the left side, the policeman tells you to move to the right: "Go back, it is not allowed here". But you say: "I reason, I have the will to go back [or not]" [Yet] you will go back, what else can you do? Now, because there are legitimations, you say: "I will not go out, I am not disposed". No, no, you are not free, [because] you have a certain fear, you think of what the policemen have issued, but you do not think about the Divine legitimation: it has not come to your mind to live according to God - a pure, moral and exalted life. You say: "Now we are young, let us live a little, so that when we grow old, then we will pray all day long". But show me a single old man who prays to God. Not a single one. No, no, the young generation must be spiritual, not only with placards. To these young people we have to clarify the profound laws, why one should live in a free and spiritual way and not otherwise. Let them make an experiment. This is not a reproach. Make the young generations think, give them freedom to think. But the old ones say: "Son, do not try to get to the root of things, become, rather, a [proper] man". How will you become a [proper] man? If you are a clerk, turn and put your hand in [the money-case] when the Lord is asleep, take the money and then you will do a small good [deed] - you will aid the orphans and the Lord will forgive you. And do you think, that the son will then say: "this is morality?" Is it with such a religion that you wish the young generation to enter the Church? No, the young generation needs another religion, a religion of truth, a religion which makes these young people courageous and decisive. But the modern-day maidens and lads, they commit suicides and say: "There is no meaning in life". Why? - Because the lie has crept into their blood, it has made them fragile, they do not find any meaning and say: "I do not want to live" And then in the Universities the students listen to lectures, in the high schools they study, but among these young people you will not find a single student who reasons soundly - the threads in their brains have been torn, their minds have been stupefied. The young generation needs fresh, crystalline thought, Divine thought, which will give expanse for their souls to fly off, to walk through space, to have energy, to think and to think seriously. Therefore, this is what is needed and what is given to you: instill the truth into your soul and when this truth is instilled in the social life, we will be able to fix it far sooner with knowledge, than without knowledge. When a car breaks, it is not philosophers that are required, but workers; when a building is erected, tradesmen are needed; when a man is killed, a mother is required to return him back to life. Do you know now what the [true nature of the] mother is? When you become a mother, you have to give birth, to nurture and bring up a child. But now the mothers misguide their daughters. They speak to them about fashions, about hats, about this, about that, but not a word about the essential things. Maidens and lads join in marriage, the maiden thinks and the lad thinks, but when it comes to the adversities of life, how will they learn? The mothers say: "You will also learn, as we learned by ourselves". It is not so. The modern-day maidens and lads should know the meaning of life, how the human body is created, what the obligations of the mother, of the father, of the teacher are. And not just according to form but also according to essence. Everyone must know their obligations and fulfill them most conscientiously for the good of the neighbor. And there is no need for us to judge ourselves. This Angel says to Joseph: "Arise! take the child and his mother and flee from Jerusalem". That is, flee from this modern civilization, which has perverted every thought, which is condemned: it has deprived people of individuality and has made them uniform. There is an occult story about someone who went to study the science of the East and, who knows how, he fell among some blind adepts: the eyes of all of them were sunken. They caught hold of him, examined him everywhere with their hands: "Everything is like it is in us, only his eyes are not like ours. We have to become equal". And they began to press his eyes, so that they may become like theirs. And in the very thing with which man can find the way, they have put their fingers: "To become alike". And they say: "We want to make these people equal - their eyes have to sink in". The Lord has made our eyes properly. When the Bulgarians say "sunken eyes", they understand what this means very well [30], while of the religious people, when their eyes sink in, they immediately say: "He has become righteous". When a man loses everything - wealth, wife, children - his eyes will sink in, whereas if everything follows its normal course, his eyes protrude. Our eyes must be such as the Lord has created them. They should not sink in. And I am also against sunken eyes. If your eyes begin to sink in, it means that you have not become saintly yet, but have an ailing state, and soon enough you will depart from this world, without having understood why you have come here. Now you should know a sublime law: [you should] have clear thoughts and [you should] understand why your bodies have been created. Have you ever stopped to say: "These hands, why are they sometimes dry?" You have pain in your abdomen, you will call a doctor and he will make a diagnosis. No one has understood the cause yet. The doctor cannot know the cause. And if your hand hurts, do you know what the hand is saying? "My lord, I am sorry that you have used me for many things, but for that which is essential, for which I am intended, you have not used me" And you will look like that boy, which, when his father bought him a violin and a bow, started beating his sister with the bow and broke the bow. He does not play [on a musical instrument], but beats. You also sometimes say: "Beat him up! The hand has been created to thrust". No, the hand has not been created [for you] to beat and thrust. This hand is created for you to play [a musical instrument]. This is its purpose. Have you played [a musical instrument] with it? - "No". You have not understood the meaning of life. Your hand is made to wipe the tears of one who is crying; it has been made to give food to one who is hungry; it has been made for that man who is perishing, so that you may save him with your hands. Did you understand me? Are you going to recite or to think? Tell me now: are you going to recite? If it is a matter of declamation, I also recited this morning. And the first thing I did was to recite: "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem...." And sometimes I recite very accurately, sometimes I stop, and there is an exception, someone may say: "There the recitation is not so." There is an art in recitation also. But there is no thought there. Joseph must think. You will say: "Where did you find all this in verse 13? Is all this in verse 13?" I extract the [following] thought from there. You have a brain, this is the reality in life. And modern-day people are right when they say that we have to begin from the visible world in order to understand the true needs of our body. And after this we will come to study, first of all, the physical manifestations of human life. Now from times immemorial many cultures have emerged, but the world has not yet achieved that level, at which it should be. Why? Because people still do not think. But this commission, which now comes, will compel people to think. Now, a small diversion from these philosophical reflections of mine. They are a little hidden, because, simultaneously, I have to reason on one side, [and] to correct and to plant on the other. I will present to you what situation contemporary people find themselves in. It is a story that is passed down by tradition. To what extent it is true, I cannot say, but it is remembered. It dates from the time of Nero. The question is about a prominent Roman woman, daughter of a patrician - Veronius, and her name was Vincilla. She was one of the most beautiful virgins in Rome, so beautiful, so gracious, so noble and courageous of character, that truly everyone was astonished by her. One day, by [mere] coincidence, for better or worse, Nero - who had a habit of paying attention to everything, both as an actor and an artist, a pupil of Seneca, but who liked women in a peculiar way - passed close by her, and she attracted his attention. He sent for her in the evening and said to her father: "I want your daughter to come one evening for a conversation, to spend an evening in my palace". When her father announced this to her, she immediately said: "No! I prefer death to Nero's palace!" She sent back Nero's envoys. They informed him of this. Nero, who was very proud, said: "Very well". He sent several Praetorians: "Take her and you will lower the nose of this proud Roman-woman, you will kiss her several times". In Rome everyone without any exception had to pay regard to Nero's will. I say, this virgin, she had not understood life, do you understand? When she was entering the prison, they met her for the first time with a very crude act. Now you, the contemporary people, will say: "What is wrong with her visiting Nero's palace, after all?" [31] According to contemporary morality, a man may make a small deviation, but this maiden thought, do you understand? She had her own ideal. There is will-power in her: "I do not want to go! Not for anything would I wish to go to the palace!" The one who was appointed went to carry out Nero's will by force, and then, on Nero's order, they let her go. She went out, left Rome, distanced herself from there completely, [and] in her soul there arose an aversion towards the Roman civilization: "There is nothing noble in Rome, this is a dishonor for Rome, from now on I do not wish to be a Roman [any more]". And she went to the Southern country, passed into Africa, to a mountainous region. There dwelt, as a hermit, another Roman, who had become a Christian, by the name of Finicius, who understood life very deeply and was an excellent philosopher. A young man, about 35, he had persevered for 15 years. He had the desire that his beauty, which tempted women, would disappear. And, the more that time passed, the more handsome he became: he took a mirror and, every day, as he looked at himself, he became more and more handsome. He prayed to Christ saying: "Lord, this devil, this external temptation, may it be gone from me". And he wished this beauty of his to disappear, so as to be pleasing to God. "Lord, appear to me and show me the way, I wish to live a pure and holy, exalted, unblemished life". For 15 years this had constantly been his prayer. One day, close to noontime, he saw this Vincilla in the desert; she was walking, coming towards him, and he said to himself: "Ah, even here this devil has found me, gone is my soul!" He struggles, and she struggles. She is disgusted at the lewdness which is in Rome, in the court of Nero, at that lawlessness; while Finicius, he also perseveres and says: "A devil is coming now, I can see a devil in this beautiful woman, now I will have to fight. If I fail now, I will be ruined forever, I will be gone. Now or never!" And she approached and said to him: "Holy father [32], I beg you, be so kind ... " and began to cry. - "Ah, how cunning this devil is!" And he fell on his knees at her feet and said: "I beg you, sister, do not tempt me, I am full of sin, depart from me, you will ruin me". You, the contemporary people, are like this saint and this Roman woman. We do not understand each other. You are now this Roman woman who has come out of Rome, who was kissed in the prison forcibly, against her will. And the Orthodox, the Protestants, the Catholics, the Evangelists, Muslims, Buddhists are all Finicius. They constantly pray in their Churches and when we want to show them the path of Truth, they say: "Go away, you will ruin our Church!" I say of this Finicius, that there was not a more suitable occasion to help this maiden. Her soul was being torn up in the futility of life: she could not understand the essential problem - why should man live on Earth? And once her fate let her down, she stopped thinking; with this contradiction here he [Finicius] should have helped her. But he said to her: "Go away, I am a sinner". She could not understand him. "You will show me the way" she said to him, "I want to know the way , this true way". And now I ask, I ask this question to both the Roman woman and to Finicius. Neither of them have found the meaning of life yet. Christ has not come among them yet. They seek Him, she - in Rome, he - in the desert for 15 years, in the Name of Christ. They meet, [and] do not understand each other; he - as a Christian, she - as a pagan, in the name of that knowledge {pl.}, which she carried with herself. While the truth will be shown to them by that living Angel who will descend. I leave the story [as it is,] without making a conclusion. You should make a conclusion for yourselves. Now, many of you have been kissed inside the prison. "I!" you will say. You have been kissed: in Nero's prison, many of you were kissed there on Nero's order. Many of you are invited to Nero's palace. How have you solved the problem? I stop there, but I tell you: you are at a crossroad, of this young Roman woman and this young saint. You are at a crossroad, and how will you resolve this problem? I leave you, men and women, to solve the problem. The culture to come depends upon this resolution. "Take your son and his mother, go to Egypt, and wait there until I tell you to return". And now I listen to the voice of that Angel and I say: "Return!" May my Lord give you light, may He give you His wisdom, may He give you His knowledge so that you may [begin to] shine through. This Lord of Love whom I serve, this Lord of Wisdom, this Lord of Truth, may He give you all his blessing so that you may come to know Him, so that you may understand what the deep internal meaning of this life is, which you still do not know. And not Bulgarians, but I desire you to be daughters and sons of this Lord Who has created the whole Universe. May you have entrance to His Kingdom, may you freely walk. To be worthy of His Love and to thank Him and glorify Him. This I wish to all of you! May the Lord bless all of you with the most gracious blessing. May He grant strength and valor to you all! And I do believe, that you will be heroes of the future culture of Love, of the future new humanity which carries the sign: Love for everyone! 13 of November 1921 --==[][][]==-- ______________________________ Notes: [1] i.e. contradictions in general [2] Here the Master uses a colloquial word ("papo") which means food, and has a slightly ironic connotation; it can be translated approximately as eats, tuck, bites, goodies etc. [3] This is the normal English usage of the word here (cf. Note [2]) [6] The characters referred to here are from the (well-known) book "Don Quixote" by the 16th century Spanish author Cervantes [7] this is a literal translation of the subject "Bible classes" or "Religious Education" in the Bulgarian schools at the time when the lectures were given [8] In German "Weltschmerz" - sentimental pessimism [9] or evidence [10] literally: "I think..." [11] The Master quotes the beginning of a poem by Lyuben Karavelov (1834-79) which starts with "Beautiful you are" instead of "Green you are". The poem was published in 1875 and the song with this text has been so popular since, that sometimes it is (mistakenly) considered a Bulgarian folk song. A poetic translation in English follows: Beautiful you are, my forest, And an air of youth you breathe. But you are a source of sorrow, You incline our hearts to grieve. Translated by Peter Tempest [12] There is a play of words here - the Master correlates the Bulgarian word razvrashtavam (corrupt) with razvartam (unbolt, unscrew, loosen). This connection could be observed more easily by the contemporary person through the Russian word for corrupt razvrashta -> 'raz-vrashtat', i.e. 'un-revolve' (vrashtat means revolve) [13] or: meaning [14] perhaps some text is missing at this point [15] literally: walk, as in "going for a walk" [16] Literally, the word means the gold that backs up or stands as the real value behind banknotes; there seems to be no equivalent word in English that would convey the correct meaning. [17] literally: manifest or show myself, express myself etc. [18] This is a Bulgarian colloquialism; it means, literally: we will go crazy. [19] In Bulgarian these two words differ only in one vowel: laja {lie) and lija (lick) [20] i.e. value or quantity in the sense of mathematics [21] This could also be rendered as: "and now how many people went to the battlefields" [22] or: learn [23] i.e. not to cheat by looking up the sleeves for the correct answers prepared earlier on the cuffs or on cheat-sheets etc. [24] this sentence is fragmented (the ellipsis is also in the original), so another possible rendering for the rest of the sentence may be: speak up - he answers..., where the answer itself is missing [25] at this time examination questions were usually put inside of an envelope which the students received upon entrance. [26] third person plural - i.e. they (all should) study [27] literally: "order and orderliness" [28] this sentence is like it is in the original (though possibly it was not recorded in its entirety when the Master spoke) [29] literally: happiness, but can also be fortune (not as in wealth) [30] Usually the phrase "sunken eyes" is used in Bulgarian about someone who is not well - ill, hungry, or not having enough rest, under pressure etc. [31] The original has the quotation end after the words "after all", however, it most likely stops just before it - i.e. ''Now you, ..., will say: "What is wrong with her visiting Nero's palace?"'' - is that not so? [32] In order to avoid the differences in using the word "Reverend" across Christian denominations, the address is translated literally

Biography Master Peter Deunov, known by the spiritual name Beinsa Douno, was an extraordinary individuality, who lived in many ways an outwardly ordinary life. He was born on the 11th of July 1864 near Varna, Bulgaria, in the family of a Bulgarian Orthodox priest. Growing up, he attended a boys school in Varna and later the American Theology School in Svishtov, Bulgaria. In 1888 Peter Deunov traveled to the USA where he undertook studies at the Drew Theological Seminary (now Drew University), New Jersey and the Boston University School of Theology. After another year of attending courses at the Medical School at Boston University, in 1895 he returned to Bulgaria. In the years surrounding 1897 Peter Deunov underwent a profound inner experience, which resulted in several written works of a Judaic-Christian mystical-theophanic character. The exact nature of these experiences can only be fathomed; a later entry from one of Peter Deunov’s personal dairies, dated 1899, gives some indication of his state around this time: “the Lord will be my joy every day”. Around the turn of the century he began to travel widely throughout the country, lecturing and researching the character of the Bulgarian people. Soon a small group of friends who saw in Peter Deunov their Teacher formed themselves around him. A number of records are extant from this time attesting to the already profound character of a teaching that would come to flourish in the ensuing years. In 1914 Peter Deunov gave his first public lecture – “Behold the Man!” – in Sofia, heralding the beginning of 30 continuous years of spiritual teaching activities, during which “Peter Deunov” came to be known and regarded by his followers as Master Peter Deunov or simply “the Master”. During the 1920’s a number of these followers came together to gradually form the community “Izgrev” (Sunrise) on the outskirts of Sofia, where the Master continued to teach, delivering his lectures to a growing audience. It was during this period that he esoteric school of the Master, which in many ways had begun with his earliest students and friends, came to flower and became established in externally tangible forms: esoteric lectures, exercises, and life itself at the “Izgrev”. Many were drawn to the love, wisdom and truth emanating from the Master’s teaching; however, it was not always popular at large. In the later 1930’s the Master suffered severe injuries to the head as a result of a politicallymotivated physical attack, leading slowly to paralysis. Memoirs recount how he had to be looked after, and the great suffering he had to endure. Some months later, however, he recovered completely, quickly and miraculously, and thus showed with his own life how sufferings must be endured, and how through the spiritual power of Christ one can be healed even into the physical body. The Master continued to teach throughout the second World War until the end of his earthly life – by all accounts one of a saintly individual – on 27 December 1944.

Preface “I will always be a humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ” Master Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno) Master Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno) [1864-1944] was a Christian mystic, philosopher, musician, poet – a spiritual Teacher, and a herald of the new old Teaching of Christ Jesus in the 20th century. Although little known outside Bulgaria, the Master (as his followers came to call him) left in almost 4000 spoken lectures and other works a profound, multi-faceted esoteric-Christian philosophy that can speak to anyone with a wish to learn from, and to hear, the living Word of God as it reveals itself to modern humanity. The current volume is the second in a series of books dedicated to presenting accurate, faithful and readable English translations of lectures and other works by the Master Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno) taken solely from authentic, unmodified sources, which have preserved what the Master spoke or wrote without editorial or other interventions.

From The Truth The Truth "And the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) Pilate asked Christ a question: "What is truth?" Here is a deep philosophical question. It is easy to ask, but difficult to answer. The truth in itself is something concrete, real, unalterable - everlasting light, everlasting wisdom, everlasting love, everlasting righteousness, everlasting life. But this very definition requires us to more concretely establish what sort of a thing the truth is. I will dwell on the thought: it is the truth which gives freedom. Freedom is an aspiration of the human mind, heart, soul and spirit; freedom - this is life; and the purpose of life is for us to search for the truth, and to search for it but not in the way Tolstoy describes in his book: "My conversion". He speaks there about a dream of his which clearly characterizes the state of his soul before his conversion. "I find myself", Tolstoy says - I am relating his story concisely - “lying in a bed in my dream, it is neither very comfortable, nor do I take pleasure in it; I move about to see what [the nature of] this bed is, what it is made of - of iron or of wood; I notice at some point that the bed-slats near my head and my feet begin to fall one by one; finally only one slat is left below my waist. At this time a voice calls out: "Do not move any more, neither with the head, nor with the feet - keep balance!" And I see down beneath me a large column and a bottomless pit". Often, there are philosophers who lie upon their backs and investigate the Divine world [in this way], but only one slat is left under their waist and so the Lord says to them: "Keep balance!" And you, as soon as you utter "Balance [Equilibrium]!", the catastrophe is avoided. When you investigate the truth, you should stand on your feet and not lie upon your back; only the dead lie like this. I take the word dead metaphorically - a narrow-minded [limited] man, who does not think. You should be turned towards the East, so that when Christ comes into view, you may receive Him. Many act as Tolstoy did, but Christ tells them: "Balance [Equilibrium]!" "The truth shall make you free". The truth is real, it is actual, immediate life itself. Do not think that it is something imaginary. The truth is a world which has its beauty, its hues, tones, music - a world which has existed and which will always exist. Christ says: "Whoever understands this world, these laws and forces, shall be free". And also: "For this was I born - to bear witness unto the Truth" (Jn 17:37). And then Pilate asked him: "What is truth?" Contemporary people have rather strange conceptions of the Lord. The Lord - this is the Truth. When some day you feel joyful and glad and start to sing, behold, the truth - the living Lord - is within you. You think something in goodness, you accomplish a good deed - the Lord is within you. The truth - it is motion, instigation. And when Christ says: "I am the Way", He implies that man must have motion, and should not stay in a single place like some tied-up animal. In this world [all] things are strictly mathematically defined, there is nothing unforeseen, nothing accidental; your life, your sufferings, your sorrows and torments - all this has been foreseen. They are plus (+) and minus (-). The four arithmetic operations are included in the truth: addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. Whoever has much, adds; whoever has little, also adds; only the addition here is different. You have two thousand levs, but with a minus or a plus – to be able to give or to take away. This will determine the relation. If you say: "I have two thousand years" and put a minus, I infer that in the past you have lived two thousand years of a dissolute [immoral] life. If you say: "Two thousand years plus", I infer that you have lived an excellent life, and, therefore, you are indeed rich. Christ says: "The truth shall make you free". The truth is a necessity for the man and for the woman: the whole social system rests upon it. Everyone strives for freedom and is entitled to live freely; but this freedom will be given to one insofar as he one is able to make use of the gifts of the Truth. The sufferings of a nation are [just as] needed for the latter as they are for the separate individual. The torments and torturings are our inventions. Your husband receives a salary, say, 5 levs, which are barely enough to carry you through the month: "But Easter, you say, is coming; there is not enough for an Easter cake [1] - the sugar and the eggs are expensive, there is not enough for shoes, for a hat 50-70 levs are necessary, why shouldn't we have 150-200 levs?" For there to be peace, leave the Easter cakes for next year -there is not only one Easter in this world. "No, now!" But the Lord has granted only 50 levs, be content with what is there already, do not spoil the Easter. The wife [2] in this respect should give freedom to her husband [2], and the husband - to the wife. Down with the Easter cakes! This is what freedom is, and also the truth. And this is why the Scriptures say: "Be grateful for everything". Do not think that the Lord has not given you wealth; He has given it, you are all rich, but you have to search for it. In comprehending the Divine precepts [3] we should have internal freedom, we should not be mannered [4]. The truth is independent of both your conceptions and mine; whether you will think in one way or another, whether you will draw near or drift away from it, you will not change its relations, it will always exist, as it is, in this world which has been created very wisely. The light {videlinata}, which we have, originates from the light {svetlinata} of the Truth. Love comes from above, from the Truth, and, when it conquers the world, it will make you free. Love always has an aspiration for the Truth. Beauty is also an expression of Truth: what beauty is in relation to man, Truth is in relation to the Divine world; it is one face of this world which is a world of harmony, of beauty. And when you say: "Why are we miserable", the Truth replies to you: "Because you are ignorant, because you transgress the Law". I know, once upon a time in Varna the Gagauz [5] women would fall in love with the Bulgarian men and wanted to marry them; the Greeks were allegedly drunkards, while the Bulgarians supposedly resembled good and gentle little donkeys. But this is not an understanding of the Truth. Truth is a science to learn what the mutual intelligent relationships between people should be. Until man brings his mind, his heart, to equilibrium, to an accord with the Truth, he cannot be free. Only in this way will he be able to unite with the Divine world. Many ask: "Is it not possible without sufferings?" It is possible. "And without sorrows and torments?" It is possible, of course! But the sufferings are necessary for the evolution of man. Man wants to study the world, which is why he inevitably suffers. And the Earth is a place of sufferings. "But", he says, "how could I know?" Why, before descending, did you not ask the intelligent beings above? Once a little Angel, who listened to much being spoken of men, said to a big Angel: "I would very much like to see these people; do take me to the Earth to see them". He took the little Angel to the Earth. The little Angel then said: "I asked you to take me to the humans, but you took me to Hell". - "But Hell - this is the people", answered the big Angel. And in truth, hell - this is us. Under the word hell is understood here boiling, bubbling from below, flying at each other's throat, brothers fighting one another - why one took more from their father's inheritance, while the other took less. "Equality is required". He is bigger [6] - let him take more. We on the Earth have exactly those relations which God has established and to which His laws bear witness, and, when we apply them according to the Truth, their result will be freedom. And whoever wishes to study the Truth, has to study the quality of freedom. If you ask me what music is in its essence, I cannot give you a definition; but what music gives birth to by itself - this I can define. It is harmony, a relationship between tones. Sit in front of a piano or any other musical instrument, play and you will see what music is. But for the manifestation of music three things are necessary: firstly, an idea in your mind of some song; secondly, an instrument, and thirdly, an artist. Consequently, what is needed is a certain musical ability inside your mind, a sensitive ear, and then an artist to perform. And if you ask me what a teacher is, I can tell you what a teacher produces. He gives knowledge. If you learn what knowledge is, you will be close to the teacher. You ask what virtue is; it is better to ask what virtue gives birth to. Before you embark on studying the essence of things, study their results. By what is freedom distinguished? By this, that it gives broad scope for action. In necessity there is only one way - you are harnessed. Your bridle may be made of gold, it may be quite nice, but you must only walk in one direction - forward; if you stop, the whip will land on your back. In freedom, conversely, you have a choice. You have the choice to climb a mountain peak, to climb from any side, but when you roll downwards, you are already going in only one direction. "But why does man think like this?" He is free to think. "But he is ungodly". This is a temporary delusion. "He is mean". The consciousness for goodness had not developed in him. "He errs". His will is not regularized. "Such-and-such gave birth illegitimately". Set the relations between the sexes in order. I consider people free. Those who are not free are the fainthearted, and it is precisely they who commit crimes; they do not have the heroism to take responsibility. Which people are strong in the world? Those who are free and are able to endure predicaments and sufferings, bespatterings, dishonorings - these things are trials and, whoever endures them, performs [an act of] heroism. The sufferings are given as a test to find out who is a hero and who a coward. Whoever does not wish to suffer, whoever wishes others to do the work [7] for him, is considered to be in the catalogue of the cowards. If you suffer - you are a hero. Tell me now, who do the Bulgarian people revere - those cowards, who during the time of the Ottoman Empire would betray the people, or those [men], who suffered for this people? And how much more exalted will those be who suffer for the Truth! The principle is the same. This is why the science of Truth is a science of the public, of the social life. The truth always makes people free. Those who die for others make people free. If [st.] Stephen had not died, [st.] Paul would not have been born. When Stephen died, his spirit entered into Paul and then both began to work together for the Lord. Stephen taught Paul how to suffer, how to endure three times 39 rods. Paul is renowned for this endurance. And do you know why there were 39 rods? 3 + 9 = 12: the number 12 is the law of rounding the evolution of all the days of a man's life. And whoever is beaten thus on Earth, will not be beaten any more in the other life. If you ask why they scourged Christ, He will answer you: "I suffered, so that you may be free". When here on Earth someone strikes you, one thread, which keeps you attached to your ill fate, breaks. This is why Christ says: "If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also". Only one who is strong is able to beat, and when he beats, it is a blessing. What do the peasants do? When they wish the field to bear more fruit, they send sheep to trample on it; they know this law with respect to the fields, but with respect to themselves, they do not know it. So, finally, let the sheep of the world trample on you a bit. Christ says: "For this was I born". [Jn 18:37] Birth is understood here not externally, but internally - in every mind and in every heart, so that this Truth may bear witness. When the Truth starts to be born in you, you will begin to feel freedom. A woman, when she marries, wishes to have children because she is permeated by the Truth that only in this way can she observe the law - to inherit a property. And in the spiritual world it is the same - if you do not have the Truth, you cannot inherit the Divine riches. Therefore, the Truth must be born in you. Then you will have wealth and you will pass through your life more easily. There is a legend about Moses: when he was going to Mount Sinai, he saw a joyful shepherd and asked him: "Why are you so cheerful?" The shepherd replied to him: "Because the Lord will be my guest today, I have slaughtered a lamb to give a treat to the Lord". - "The Lord does not eat lambs; this is a confusion of your mind" objected Moses and left. However, the shepherd began to feel sad; he was deadened in spirit. When Moses reached Mount Sinai, he noticed that the Lord was displeased with him because he had made a big mistake, and so, he went back to the shepherd to tell him that the Lord will visit him and will eat from his lamb. When he had told the shepherd what the Lord had instructed him, he secretly began to keep a close watch on what would happen. At one moment he saw that the shepherd quietly went to sleep, while fire descended from the sky and burnt the lamb. The shepherd got up and said: "How glad I am that the Lord descended and ate the lamb!" And when the Truth descends in you, its fire, Love, will make a sacrifice pleasing to God. This is the real world of the Truth. For some it is unreal. But there are many, not one or two, nor ten, but thousands all over the whole world, who know this Truth. It must be planted for a long time yet. You see how beautiful these flowers are in front of you - yellow, red, blue - and you pick them, but have you understood their meaning? You say: "This flower has a very pleasant scent." What does this scent mean? It shows the profound sorrow of the flower. From its affliction is formed the nectar intended for your life. There are people who in the midst of their wealth say: "There is no Lord", but once they lose their wealth or their health or their social status, the Lord fastens them - they begin to give off a scent: "There is a Lord". The wealth would destroy their mind and, when the Lord takes it away from them, they begin to look at things correctly. What you observe on the Earth is something transient, it is not real. Young, beautiful girls, when some time passes, their faces become lined with wrinkles, and in a short time they become old grandmothers; I ask, where did those young girls go, which we had admired so much earlier? Likewise the lads: where is their handsomeness? You do not know yourselves yet; when you learn the law of Truth, it will give you power over matter, to understand its internal combinations and to perfect your life. This is the law of movement - man must constantly alter and must pass from the transient to the eternal, in order to understand the unalterable nature of the Truth. People say: "Christ was born and he preaches the Truth". Let us see what this Truth is. Christ wishes to introduce vigor into your mind, [He wishes] to give you instigation for a particular thought, for you to enter into communion with the Divine world. You are all eternally connected with God. You have friends in the world, and, if these friends occasionally show themselves to be insensitive, it is because of your relations, due to ignorance. [st.] Paul says: "God despised man's ignorance and left people to follow their ways, but now he calls them for the Law to be fulfilled". What should the mother do, who is also called to fulfill the Law? First of all she should give birth to good and clever children - this is her task. Some women complain and say: "Why am I a woman?" Who, then, should have been in their place, I ask. The man [male] must prepare this material of thought, will, character, to impart [it], while the woman should give birth. People seek comforts in the world, but they have to understand that essential law, which exists in music as well - about the major and minor scales. The Lord has set some [people] in a minor key, He has put them in flats - in grief, in sorrow, in the depths of feeling; others he has set in a major key, he has put them in sharps, in the shallowness of life, because they do not have depth of feeling. What can one see in a dance or a march? Dancing, marching and ... exhaustion. In the sad song you will not move, you will keep quiet and will reason. In the minor tone the Lord has created you to think about the other world, while in the major tone - about this world. Occasionally you wish to take someone else's role; but can religious people dance? They can dance, but what kind of dance? David, while he was carrying the ark, leaped and danced, while his wife said: "Look, why are you wiggling before the whole people of Israel!" (1 Chron 15; 2 Sam 6:15) - "Why should I not leap before the Lord?" he objected to her. The Lord has not restricted us, He has given us great freedom to do good and evil; but good in certain respects may be evil. But, you will say, how can this be? Here [is how]. A husband and wife live very well. Christ for His part says: "Give away your possessions" (Mat 19:21), the husband, in his desire to fulfill the teaching of the Savior, wants to give away his possessions, but his wife tells him: "You have gone mad, do you want your wife and children to be miserable?" - "But I want to fulfill the law of God", - "And I, however, do not want this law. You have no right to give away the possessions of your wife and your children, they belong to them. You have 100 thousand levs, divide them duly, equally between you, your wife and your children, and only the share which is apportioned to you, only that you have the right to give away. You do not have the right to commemorate the Lord with their money [8]. This is the law of Christ". - "But I have the right". "You do not have the right. Who gave you this right? Where did you take your wife from? Not from your legs, but from your ribs the Lord made her your companion, and you have no right to torment her". This, of course, is now convenient for the women, and they say to themselves: "Just so, just so!" Never observe the issues from your viewpoint, but from a mutual point of view. In the universal life there are many possibilities; in the present life you are a man, but in another they may make you a woman or vice versa. If in this life you write "I do not allow any freedom to the woman", in the second life, when they make you a woman, you will experience the sweetness of this provision of the law. "This law, you will say then, is not good". - But it is you who wrote it earlier. Men [males], set good laws, because the second time, as women, you will be under their supremacy. Of course, the man [male] is not the only one who writes laws, but the woman writes them as well, and they themselves create restrictions for each other. Many women have written bad laws for their daughters and sons, to hate their fathers - "your father is a good-for-nothing, a vagabond". Do not write such laws, because your Father is only one; this man or this woman have become an instrument for the Divine Spirit to clothe a certain idea in a certain form, and, when you complain, you repine against the Lord. You should not alter the main outlines of the form-embodied idea. In the shadows you may change something, making them lighter or darker, but the main-substance, which gives countenance to the Divine idea, must remain. 24 April 1916 --==[][][]==-- _____________________________ Notes: [1] kozunak is a traditional Bulgarian bun, which is also made for Easter.

From Peace be with you The importance of the small things "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their Angels always see the face of My Father Who is in heaven." (Matthew 18:10) In general, people from both genders have an aspiration for grand things, for great matters; everyone, by virtue of an internal weakness, despises the little things. You are given a nickel [1], you say: "It is worth nothing; if they were a thousand, 10, 100 thousand levs, I [would] understand, but a nickel - I am not a beggar!" They give you a walnut - "You are offending me; if you were to give me 5-10 kg, I [would] understand, but with one walnut, Mister, are you making fun of me?" When we aspire for great matters, we also try to become acquainted with high-ranking people - with kings, prime-ministers, chiefs, scholars, philosophers; about the socially lower-ranking people we say: "He is an ignoramus, a simpleton!" From one end of our life to the other we can see disdain for the little things and a seeking only for grand things. But Christ turns to His disciples and warns them not to despise the little ones. Why? "Do not despise them, because you offend their Angels, who serve them in the Heavens. If you despise these little ones, you despise the Angels, whose children the little ones are". When we want to split a log, we first carve small sharp wedges and they, upon entering, open space for the large wedges. If the wedges are large and blunt, how will they be driven in? So, the little things open the way for the big ones. And in the world the whole process of development unfolds from the very beginning with these little things, which you despise; all the progress of the Universe is due to them. We say that the plough feeds the whole world, that, when the ploughman ploughs the field well and sows it, it brings forth a rich harvest. This is so, but we should not forget the role that those billions of little worms play, which also till the field. Because we are brought up so, to disdain the weak, we, even when we enter Christianity, carry, below the sheepskin, the instincts of the wolf, and see, how at a certain moment from under this innocent garment we expose our claws; we do not forget our old habits: when someone takes away a grosh [2] from us - soon there is a petition to the court. If someone steals 5-10 thousand levs - "Ah, well done!" we tell him. However, one who steals a lot has not acquired this habit all at once; to begin with, he took a nickel from his father, then a dime [3], then - a grosh, five grosh, ten grosh and so on. In every respect this law is true. When we despise the little causes, we miss the great consequences in the matter. I can say that all our current misfortunes, common and personal, are due to this disdain of the little things in the past. And this is why Christ turns to His disciples and tells them not to despise "these little ones". Now, who are "these little ones"? Someone may say: these are our children. It is true that they are our children. But when we come to apply the law of Christ completely, we will see that there are also many other things which should not be despised. "Do not despise these little ones!" - I will explain to you the meaning which is hidden in these words. An (Indian) Hindu gives his son a walnut and bids him to investigate it; the son breaks the walnut and eats it. "What does the walnut contain?" - asked the father afterwards. - "Nothing special - a few kernels, pleasant in taste". The Hindu asks his son again: "Did you not find anything else in the walnut?" - "Nothing". - "Son, a great power is hidden in this walnut and, if you had not eaten it, but had planted it in the ground, a big tree would have grown out of it, and you would see the grandeur of this little thing, which is a germ of a large thing". The Lord sends you a small thought, an apple seed, you say: "It is nothing" and throw it away; but the Lord says: "Ask what power it contains, plant it, and you will see what [kind of] a tree will grow out of it". Precisely because of this constant disdain of the little thoughts, we have come to this state, and say that the world is bad. We are the cleverest! Christ says: "Do not despise these little things, do not aspire to the big ones, learn to recognize what power hides in the little things and make use of them: they will help you to acquire the big ones". Is not your house built wholly out of little microscopic grains, condensed. Upon these little things, like the grain of wheat, the fruits and other trifles, rests our everyday life. This is in relation to the body; but in relation to the mind exactly the little thoughts and desires cause joy and gladness in life. Sometimes we laugh at the children, that they are engaged with trifling {drebni} thoughts; not the thoughts, but the grains, which assist the development of the big things, are tiny {drebni}. And why should we not despise these little ones; why should we not trespass the second Divine commandment: "to love our neighbors"? Every living being, which has a relation to someone, which gives benefit, we should not despise. This creature may be a dove, a hen, a sheep, an ox, a horse, a donkey, for each of them there is a book, in which it is being written: today you have loaded your donkey with so much, tomorrow with so much - it is written there, and when the Lord calculates for it [(the creature)] 5 lev a day, in 100 years - if we say that it has served you all your life - what capital will you have to [re]pay it? One day you will find out, like that debtor, that you owe the creature 10 thousand talents. You will say: "I do not remember"; but the Lord has noted in the book that you owe this much. So, we all owe these little ones. Our current development, our current thoughts, our current desires we owe to these little ones, of which Christ speaks, and, therefore, as we owe them, we should have love towards them, to know, that they have worked for us and that we now should work for them. And in passing I will tell you something about a riddle. I have often been asked: why are the Angels interested in people, what do they have in common with them. Once upon a time, when the Angels were in our [current] state, as people on Earth, we were in the position of animals and we served the Angels; they owe us much, and now the Lord compels them to repay us. Likewise, the great Angels do not despise their smaller brothers, because the latter have worked for them. You may have a servant who is ignorant, but you do not know the relations of this servant towards you, [the reason] why the Lord has brought him in your home. Your connection with him is not from now; this servant has been in your home many times; you do not know, but the Lord knows; he, perhaps, has saved your life from destruction many times; therefore, you should have all the love and leniency towards him. And then we come to understand this great Divine Law - to have love towards the smaller ones. Love is not for the great people, for the Angels, for the saints, She is for the little, the tiny, the poor, the fallen brethren. This is why such strong love is developed in the mother toward her child; she loves it according to this Divine Law, that she should love it. She loves it like that according to an internal fire, because the Lord has entered the child incognito. You wish to see the Lord, but when He comes in this child, you say: "Why, Lord, have you given me this child?" Every day you call to the Lord and every day you drive Him away. And you pass for clever people! Such a behavior is held not only by you, but by the whole world. The Lord tries your mind every day to see how much you love Him and how much you speak the truth. Once upon a time, when the world declined, it spread that the Lord [has] set out through the world [4], to see how people live, and the latter said: "Now there is no Lord in Heaven, there is no one to control us, we will live more freely". In one place, the Lord saw that someone is selling a blind horse and that he says to the buyer: "Have faith in God, the horse is not blind". - "If you swear in God, I will believe" and [he] buys the horse. The Lord passes by a house and sees a man [5] lambasting his wife [5]: "For the Lord's sake - forgive!"; he forgives her. Those two then appear in Heaven and say: "On the Earth we, Lord, preached Your Name". So also, contemporary people call upon the Lord, when they want to sell a blind horse or want to beat their wife. The priests say: "Have faith in the Lord"; but what will the Lord say to them? "I do not know you, because you used My Name not for My glory, but to lie to the people, so that they may commit certain crimes and cover them". Precisely these little things create the misfortunes. You have a blind horse, you wish to sell it in God's Name, but watch and keep account of what you do. Do you know who this blind horse is? This is your body. And people always talk against it and always punish it; everyone says that it is faulty. It is not the body that is at fault. Someone got drunk in the pub and said: "Do not feed my horse"; he errs, but [he] punishes the horse. Do not despise the body and do not mix the flesh with your desires, with your lusts. It is them that you have to renounce, not the flesh, because it would mean to renounce all thoughts and deeds, which happen through the flesh. And you should not torture your body - this temple, which the Lord has created. Therefore, you should be very lenient towards your body, because, while it is healthy, you are able to work. Now, Christ, when He says "their Angels", He means those clever beings, which take account of our actions. That which we call "conscience", are the Angels who live within us and who note our every action, good or bad, and who say: "You did well" or "you did badly". You offend someone, his Angel tells you: "Your action is not right". You start apologizing yourself: "Please excuse me, I was a bit nervous, ill-disposed, such are the conditions". That you are in such a state, this has nothing to do with the rule, that you should not despise these little ones, upon which the Divine laws rest. These little things sometimes cause great benefits or great harms. A wolf [once] related that he was a hero and that among the animals he was a king; the fox told him: "Do not boast so much, because if a mosquito goes into your nose, it will sting you and you cannot do anything to it". "When I blow with my nose, it will fly out", the wolf answered. One day a mosquito went in his nose, stung him, introduced a disease, and the wolf died. And in our life the little causes, in one respect or another, can often aid our development, but can also make us stumble. The causes, which make us good and bad, are not in themselves bad; it is their application which is bad. Take for example the air: if you place it in your lungs, it will purify the blood and the man will feel pleased with this purification; but if you place it in the stomach, it will cause stomach-aches - one and the same thing in both cases produces two quite opposite effects. If you decide to introduce in the stomach some coal in a dissolved state, it will cause pleasantness, but, if you place it in the lungs, it will poison you. Therefore, by these little things, of which Christ speaks that we should not despise, He understands the whole-united human life, with which we are closely connected. For example, if I were to ask you: can you say how your body, your heart, your mind were formed, can you say how these things occurred? In the beginning man, when he appeared on Earth, was not gigantic, but microscopic, but under certain conditions he developed and became a man, who is now a million times more grandiose than he was [before]. His strength was initially hidden as a germ. Thus also in our modern-day life, thought contains a great Divine foundation, and, if it falls on good soil, it can revive our life. This, which we call "revival", exists as a law of the Spirit. It is that internal Divine process, which elevates and renews the human heart, the human mind, the human soul, the human spirit. This is a process of ascension from below upwards. And in this Divine aspiration our upliftment, redemption and salvation are elaborated. This is why all beings from the greatest to the smallest aspire to renew themselves, to uplift themselves, and in youth the blossoming of the human soul is hidden. When we say, that we have to be lenient towards the little ones, this originates from the principle to not embitter the Lord, because when we embitter a man, we do not embitter him individually, but the Lord Who is within him. Thus also, when we do [something] good, we aid the Lord. When we help someone, his Angel, too, who is in Heaven, will be at our service. Therefore, if we wish to have friends in Heaven, we have to serve the little ones, and their fathers, the Angels in Heaven, will accept us in their home and will hospitably-host us, we will feel ourselves at home. A favor for a favor, love for love - this is how the world is. Now, do you know why Christ addressed His disciples with this thought? The [state of] disdain - this state you must expel from your soul. For example, you meet a man who you do not know; contempt arises in you that he, perhaps, stands lower than you; if you merely establish ignorance and help him, then it is different, but, if you despise him, you introduce poison. From the disdain the contemporary aristocratism has been born, the castes - some noble, others ignoble, some rich, others poor. If we understand the relations of things, we will see that we should not be ashamed of poverty, because it is a service, given to us to carry: we have to be little, we have to be poor, in order to become rich. These are two opposite poles, between which undoubtedly lies the development. And the movement is always from the greater to the smaller, that is, the Lord always strives towards the tiny ones, He is not occupied with great works. He has made the world, but the ruling of the whole world does not give Him as much pleasure as when He is occupied with children. His task is, when He sees the people, that they err, to teach them, and by this He gives us an example also, not to despise the little ones, but to tolerate them and to instruct them - this is our rest. When the teacher is occupied with his students, this gives him pleasure, and he commends the students when they learn. The saints, the priests are occupied with the sinners, so as to turn them to the Lord. And the task of all of us is to turn our eye towards the weak people and towards the tiny things. When someone says: "I cannot take a rest", I understand that he is occupied with great deeds, with great thoughts. How will he take a rest, if he puts upon his back a heavy for his strength rucksack- of 10, 20, 50 kilograms of gold? When he leaves in his rucksack only one napoleon [6], he will see that he will find rest. And now the Lord is coming to say: "Lay down the rucksacks!" - to liberate the world from them; lay down the weapons which destroy your minds and your hearts, you all have to become like children: to not despise the little things, which I have created. The Lord wishes to return people to that pure primary state, which people call becoming-savage {poDIViavane}, but which in actuality is not becoming savage. I desire people to become savage in this way. "Div" in Sanskrit means "pure". Let us become pure and come nearer to God, instead of growing rough and becoming evil. I would wish the whole world to become savage a-day-sooner, to become pure, noble, to not despise the little things which God loves, and to place love, righteousness, wisdom, truth and strength on that height, upon which they should stand. That is where salvation is.

From Peace be with you The Grain of Wheat "Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." (John 12:24) The grain of wheat is the emblem of the human soul. It represents a great story {istoria} in Nature's development. If you were able to open the leaves of the grain of wheat, to follow its history {istoria}, you would completely understand the history of the human soul. As the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, as it germinates, grows and bears seed, so the same happens with the human soul. It could be, that for you the grain of wheat looks like something very modest, something without much value - 1/16 thousandth part of the kilogram: what price would you give it if a kilogram costs a penny? However, the grain of wheat has power, potential and a spirit of selflessness, by means of which it feeds itself and others. And when you sit at the table, you do not think about the grain of wheat at all, you do not know what joy it brings into you, what thoughts it brings. You do not know its origin. People do not appreciate it, neither do the hens - no one appreciates it. But it is a great enigma in the world. Now, what is hidden in this grain of wheat? It is an emblem of life. And if we take the Bulgarian letter ")|(" [1], which is at the beginning of the word ")|(ito" [Wheat] [2], it completely corresponds to the grain of wheat - two small legs below, roots, two small branches above. When it is sown, it shows us in what direction we should strive. The grain of wheat shows us that we should strive for the One from Whom we originated - for God; that in order to strive for God, we should branch out, form branches, blossom, produce food for the world, that is "to help and to sacrifice yourselves for your neighbors, as I do". And that is why Christ says in another place: "I am [the] living bread that has come down from Heaven" And what is bread made from? From the grain of wheat. Contemporary people say their life is unhappy, everyone is discontent - kings and princes alike; starting from the highest and ending with the lowest, they all want something and when they receive it, they are dissatisfied again and again want for something. Ask them why they are dissatisfied. They seek something more. But let us turn to the story of the grain of wheat. When it is sown into the ground, what would you say if you were in its place? You would say: "That is the end of us, our life has disappeared, our life has decayed!" But within the grain of wheat there is more faith than within us. When it is buried in the soil, it decays and rots, but immediately it understands the language of the Sun and, when the first sunrays appear, it says to itself: "I will not die, I will come back to life, and I will bear fruit for others", and energy flows into it, and it begins to strive toward the Sun. It bears fruit, it ripens. But people do not leave it alone: they take a sickle and cut it down. Its sufferings have not finished yet: after they harvest it, they bind it in sheaves, then thrust a pitchfork into it and throw it in the truck, take it to the threshing-floor and heap it in piles as big as mountains. Then they thresh it with horses and boards. What would you think if you were in its place? Human life undergoes the same process. You will ask: "Why do we need to pass through this whole process?" - Man must learn from the example of the grain of wheat. The horse hoofs pass through the wheat, then it is taken and put in the barn. But this is still not the end of its sufferings: they winnow it, the bad grains fall to the bottom, the good grains stay above, they place it in bags and carry it to the mill, then these two heavy stones grind it and crush it completely. If you were in the place of the grain of wheat, what would you say? "What kind of life and what kind of world has God created?" But the grain of wheat has great patience; it says: "You are still to see my story". They take it out of the mill in the form of flour, bring it home, but still they do not leave it in peace; the woman gets busy with her bolter, she sifts the flour, part of it she throws away, part she puts in the bread-trough, adds yeast and makes dough. If you were in the place of the grain of wheat, you would say: "This is the end of our suffering". No! When the dough rises - in the oven it goes! - and when they take it out, we see these fine loaves of bread. If you were in the place of the grain of wheat, you would say: "At last, this is the end of our suffering". But after a while, they break the loaves and start eating. In this way the grain of wheat enters the stomach, juices are created that enter our mind and what happens? Great thoughts spring up in our brain, in our heart - new desires. The grain of wheat brings the garment that clothes our feelings, it pours itself out in the pen of writers and poets, it pours itself out in the bow of the violinist. This is what the grain of wheat gives. And if the grain of wheat had not undergone this process of development, you would never see these good things in Nature. Why? Because the grain of wheat gives us the strength to look and see. That is why Christ says: "I am the living bread". For man to be alive, he must communicate with his surroundings, to dive in them to help and to be helped. Just as the grain of wheat has passed through this process, so too we must sacrifice ourselves in the same way. And to offer this sacrifice is not so difficult. Now, let us turn to the history of Christ's life, to the history of the Jewish people. How can you explain this contradiction: a nation has been waiting for thousands of years for its Saviour, for its King to come and bring freedom, and when He arrives, the same Jewish high priests and princes complain against Him? You would say that, if Christ came in our time, you would act differently. I doubt it. And I will tell you a fact. Look how the husband [3] behaves with his wife [3] and vice versa and you will know how you would behave with Christ. When the Truth comes in the world, She will not wear festive clothes, but a most humble garment, and this is why Christ appeared among the Jewish people in this simple form. This is the reason why people cannot comprehend the Truth. Such are the laws of this world. But there is another law in the world, which manifests itself in the Sunlight. When the Sun begins to shine over all embryos and beings on the Earth, this light that brings joy and delight in man will cause hate and malice in others. This light that brings good dispositions in some, makes others ferocious! The light and warmth applied to a wolf make him think about where he can find a sheep to eat; when they fall on a thief, he will start thinking how to steal money from you; when they fall on a man who strives to make good, he will think of finding a poor man to help. Give a grain of wheat to the hen and it will form good plumage. Give it to the pig, it will form good bristle; give it to the wolf, it will form good teeth and nails; give it to the fish, it will form good scales. The physiologists cannot explain this process. Every being adapts the food, the warmth and the light in accordance with its development and understanding. You can understand this law if you experience these two different worlds. It cannot be explained to you why evil exists within people, why they prefer hate before love, the lie before the truth. We cannot explain this; many questions "why?" will remain without an answer. The Bulgarian word "why" is a question mark, which implies: "I want". Why should we want? There is a law, which says that we need to strive towards progress. Christ says that unless a grain of wheat fallen on the ground dies, it remains alone in this world. What is loneliness in life? Loneliness is the most difficult suffering a man can experience. To multiply - this is the meaning of life. All sufferings in the world come from the fact that people wish to live for themselves only. Evil is always born out of the wish to be alone and to become the centre of the world. But, in the Divine laws this is unthinkable. Our thoughts and our feelings undergo a downfall, because we build them on sand. We can be happy in the world precisely when we live for God. And we must live for Him. We can find the explanation for this in Nature itself. When the Sun rises every morning, it rises for everyone, because it loves everyone; it is attentive to all beings, from the lowest to the highest, and that is why everyone casts their eyes towards it. From there comes this energy that resurrects and elevates you. But does the Sun tell us that we must enter it? It tells us to only make use of the good it gives to us, and, as it illuminates the world, so we must shed light and enlightenment to those around us. In our minds we have some false conceptions, which originate from our individual life. For example, if you enter a house which only has a single window and there are 20-30 visitors, you will tell them: "You have no right, only I want to look out" and when you are looking at the Sun everyone else will be deprived of its light; but you should call them so that they too can see the Sun, to show them the way out of this house so they can look at the light. That is why it is not good for man to keep too many people around him, because all of them can never make use of the sunlight and warmth at once. We have to tell them to go out. That is why Jesus says: "He who loves himself, must go out"; and in another place "Whoever loves his father and mother more than he loves Me, is not worthy of Me". So, if a being approaches the window too closely, it will obscure the entire horizon for others. Keep yourself 20-30 steps further away. This is the physical situation. Thus, Christ wishes to say that life is not in the material things; they are just a simple aid, much as textbooks, notebooks, pens are aids for the students. Do not think that God has prepared only these small things for you: He has prepared greater things for you. Ask a frog what its views of life are ; it will say: "I would like more flies flying above the marsh I live in, and want them to be nearer, so I can catch them". And when you sometimes see the frog being silent, as though it were watching philosophically, then it is observing the flies: to be able to catch them when they come closer. This is its view of life. When we travel up this ladder, we should not think that we are already at the peak of our development: in this ladder of development, there is still a long way to travel from where we are, to the path we are striving for. The distance between humans and Angels is so vast, the ratio is almost as the distance between the tadpoles and humans. From the point of view of the Angels, we are still small frogs. Some say: "People are made in the image and likeness of God, aren't they?" But they have not attained this image and likeness yet. You see how we act. In order to say: "We are made in the image and likeness of God", we should have God's qualities. And what are His qualities? They are: Virtue, Love, Wisdom and Truth. Virtue excludes evil, Love - [excludes] hate, Wisdom - [excludes] folly, Truth - [excludes] the lie. If these things are excluded - we have God's likeness; if they are not excluded - we are still small frogs. I have nothing against the frog; it has to eat flies. And why does it eat flies? I will tell you. Because the fly, as a flying being, lives one stage above the frog, so the frog, which has a striving to fly in the air, wishes to acquire the vibrations of the fly, to develop them and fly. Why does the wolf eat sheep? He has to eat sheep in order to become meek, because we become good when we eat good things. Actors have made an experiment when they needed to play the role of an ideal love, to eat sheep's meat for a long time, because this meat predisposes to such feelings. Consequently, the wolf has the right to eat sheep if he wishes to become meek. And he will certainly become such, as the wolf is now much meeker than he was before. And where people eat sheep and hens, I will tell you, that they eat sheep because they wish to become beautiful, they eat hens because they also wish to become winged like the Angels. And you have the right to use them for food. The evil is not in the eating. When a certain food is forbidden, this is so in order to not cause suffering to the being that is used for food. I say you may eat. You will go into the henhouse and when you catch the hen, if it does not make a sound, you may eat it. If it makes a sound, leave it alone. Likewise with the sheep - if it baas: it wants to live. Consequently, you have to ask them. Ask which hen and which sheep wants to live in you. Christ says: "I am the living bread and whoever eats Me, will have eternal life". In order to understand Christ's words, we have to purify ourselves: to purify our vision, also to purify our mind. Our mind is an excellent tool when we know how to apply it; but it is also a very dangerous weapon when we do not know how to use it. When you plough the land to prepare it for sowing, this is your right; you are following a natural law. But when you plough land that has already been sown, you act foolishly. Some people say: "We have to think and criticize", because science, they say, cannot do without criticism. Criticize, but how? Criticism, like surgery - to cut out a diseased part of the body, I understand, it can be good, but to remove a healthy part of the body, I do not understand. It is not difficult for man to be such a surgeon: everybody can take the saw and cut someone's leg; any one of you has this capability, but few are those who know how to make the surgical operation correctly. To learn this, the law of virtue and love must possess us. When I speak about love, do not think I am preaching a teaching of peace and tranquility; a man who wants to love must experience the greatest sufferings in the world; for he who has not suffered cannot experience this Divine principle of Love. In order to love God, we should be prepared to sacrifice ourselves, as God sacrificed Himself for us. To come to know Him, you say: "Lord! Give us what we need". "Give, give, give!" - this is the call that can be heard from one end of the world to the other. And money has never been so cheap as they are nowadays; any one of us today takes, perhaps, a salary 3-4 times larger than what people once received, and still we do not have enough. The money is inflated, because there is nothing to match them. We should have asked for wheat, corn, pears, apples. You say: "Lord! I want to be beautiful, I want to be rich". You want to obtain many things, but do you know that this is unhappiness for you, because when you become rich everybody will think how to harm you, and, to prevent this, you will have to hire people, [just] as the rich Americans hire 3-4 bodyguards for protection, because at every step they are an object of blackmail. Yet we do not need riches, but rather those basic things which make life better. We have abandoned the development of our hearts and, consequently, we must go back to this main principle - to develop and ennoble our heart. Evil has its nest not in the mind, but in the heart. Each of us has to ask his heart what it desires. It is our fault our heart is corrupted; we have forced it so many times, like the maid-servants, to lie, to think evil and so on. The Lord says in the Scripture: "My son, give Me your heart"; He knows and sees people's errors and wants of us nothing else but that we open our heart for Him to enter. You will say "how"? In the same way in which we open the window for light to enter our room. It is said: "a room, in which light enters - a doctor never enters, and illness never rules", or "where light does not enter, the doctor does not leave"; likewise in that human heart which the Lord has entered, the devil does not enter. The Lord is the doctor in this sense. When he visits, the doctor says: "You have to eat more, you have to drink more, you have to do this and that"; and we bear with this, bear until our backbone brakes. We are often like the camel driver, who traveled through the desert and his camel barely carried the luggage; when he saw a fox skin on the road he picked it up and threw it on the camel, but its backbone broke because of this and the luggage had to be left in the desert. The camel's back can carry only a certain amount of weight. The camel - this is us; we are those who travel, and if we put on more weight that we can carry, one day we will stumble in our development. With this I do not recommend poverty to you; I recommend you richness in three ways - not only physical, not only intellectual, but spiritual as well. Heaven wants such rich people, because they can be generous. And when Christ says: "Lay up for yourselves treasures", He means such treasures. Invest this capital in Heaven, so that from the interest God can feed the hungry people on Earth. It is not the Angels that earn your Salvation, we must do this ourselves. And we have all the conditions to do it. The law is not that all of us should be equally learned; everyone needs to know as much as he needs. Some say: "My brain is small"; I reply: "If you are not able to look after a small horse, how could you look after a bigger one; if you have a small heart and cannot control it, how will you rule over a bigger heart, which has bigger desires?" What should we do? We should not think of the future, but use all the goodness that the present day provides for good deeds; the present day carries all future blessings. The law is such that God, Who has given us conditions for today, will give them for all other days also; we do not need to think what will happen to us in the future, but we must be calm; there are certain laws which regulate human relations. That someone may cause harm, this is not arbitrary; it will happen according to the relevant law. Every misfortune, however, will bring a blessing; every obstacle will open a new horizon for you. You can always check this, and that is why you should not worry about misfortunes that may befall you. Some ask me about the political life in Bulgaria: "What will happen to her?" Strange thing! So what has happened now? Bulgaria is undergoing a little massage - that is all. They took off a little from her load; they provided her with a new experience and an issue to be resolved. We do not sit to think rationally about the laws which regulate life, but seek a culprit. Who is guilty, tell me. You will not find the guilty ones. Guilty is the individual life of man. When a man wants to become a king for the people, he is guilty. And the one who wants to overthrow the king, he is guilty as well. It is of no difference to us who is the king - one or the other or a third or fourth: they all follow the same path. I am not saying that a man should not wish to become a king or queen. But king of whom? King of himself, king of his mind, his heart, his will. How are your subjects - your thoughts, feelings and desires, have you subordinated them, have you put them in order and harmony within yourself? First you give an example to the world. What kind of a preacher would I be, if I turn to the people and say: "Be generous," but I am myself covetous; if I say: "Do not steal", but I myself steal; if I say: "Do not lie", but I myself lie? A teacher who teaches the people must be a model - to give an example himself. And Jesus, when He came down to teach people, first gave them the model, and, if we absorb His teaching, the world will change immediately. There is a dynamic power hidden within us, which we do not know how to put to use, because we do not know how to work. A thorn once blocked the road and stopped people from passing; passers-by hit it with sticks, but the more they hit it the more it grew, until the carts started toppling over. Everyone found themselves in a quandary, until somebody came with a pick and said: "I, too, will show my art" and started from afar - to dig the roots from afar; at first the thorn began to laugh and to think to itself: "So many people could not do anything to me, you will not scare me either". But the pick [began to] cut deeper and after a while the thorn said: "This guy has found my weak spot". Until you put a pick to work in you also, the thorn will always laugh at you and say: "I will grow more". This is an allegory, which you need to comprehend. What is this pick? Think and find out. We should always be in the place of a judge. For example, during the Civil War in the US they brought in two criminals, one was blind, the other one without legs; their crime was the following: they were stealing apples, the gardener caught them and brought them before the judge; but the blind man began to say: "I am blind, I did not steal apples, but I stretched out my hands and took a few from the ground"; while the one without the legs began to shout: "I do not have legs and cannot go around stealing". The judge, after some consideration, said: "Mount the blind man on the shoulders of the legless one" and added: "The one that has eyes found the apples, and the one who does not have legs, but has hands, picked the apples". And really, they caught them in this way. And man is the same - every one consists of two beings, one is blind, the other without legs. When the Lord catches them at the scene of the crime, each of them begins to say: "I did not pick, I have not touched, I have not set a foot", but the Lord says: "Mount one on top of the other" and then He judges them. Who is the one without eyes? The human instinct. The one without legs? The human mind. Both say: "Let's steal a bit", they mount and go around stealing apples, and when they are caught, one says: "Why do you beat me?" and the other says: "Why do you beat me?" but both are guilty. Evolution is necessary for us; greater blessings await us; but we must become quite clever, quite good, to grow up, so that this heritage can be entrusted to us. These three things I have just listed - virtue, righteousness and wisdom - are immense riches and when you possess them, you will be healthy and happy. But, you will say: "How can we apply this teaching in the world?" - It is not required from us to set the world in order: the world is set correctly, there are no anomalies in the world, everything proceeds in a certain order; the phenomena, natural or political, we know why they come, we do not need to alter this flow. One thing is necessary, however - individual improvement of the personality in the world, be it a man or a woman. When the personality is straightened, her children will be straightened - sons and daughters; and when in their own turn they are straightened, their fellowmen and the whole world will be straightened by itself. Like father, like son [4]. This is the principle which Christ laid down, and Christ acts to implement this principle. And as the chrysalis takes up and organizes itself further, so the world will take up and change to the better. There is great unrest in this world because all those who cannot make a cocoon are apprehensive about how they will spend the winter which approaches. The transformation, therefore, should happen in our mind, in our heart, in our will, and, when this transformation happens, we will feel that inside us there is a certain internal strength. Then we will come into contact with those higher beings, who are advanced and whom we call Saints. When we make contact with them, our mind will be enlightened, just as students become enlightened among their teachers. The Saints are teachers of Humanity and we should learn from them - they teach the world how to live. But you will say: "Where are these teachers, in which place are they? We see their images in Church." Everything has its shadow and by means of it we can find the object itself. Your desires in the world are a shadow, your aspirations as well; you wish to understand the essence, you should follow the law - from the heart upwards, towards your mind, to think of God. How can we imagine God? We can imagine Him as the most-good, perfect Man, Who has no malice, no hatred, Who loves people as a real father loves his children - this is God's attitude toward us. How do you think, is He listening to us now or not? He listens and works in our minds. The good disposition we have every day is due to Him. As the Sun creates a good disposition in us when it rises, so the happy minutes in our life are a result of this internal Sun that shines upon us. In the spiritual life there is also a sunrise and sunset. At a ripe age the sun rises - you are in your afternoon, at old age you set, so that you can rise again. The Lord will rise in the hearts and minds of many, but for many He will not rise. Those, in whom the Lord will rise, will feel joy and delight, while those for whom He will not rise will say: "Life for us is unhappiness, sorrow and suffering". They have to wait. Why? Because the conditions for rising do not exist within them; because if it [the Sun] rises prematurely, it will be a misfortune for them. It is better if they have a rest now. I do not say they will die - not at all; I am citing a law to you. When sunset is spoken of, everyone thinks about [the process of] dying. What is the process of dying? This is a presupposition. Every one of you must have passed through death in order to be able to tell what death is; but now one only imagines things. In one of his stories, Tolstoy says: He meets a Russian monk, 85 years old, with a white beard, and asks him: "What were the reasons which made you become a monk?" And the monk told his story in short: "I am of a noble family; when I was between 21-25 years, my father and mother wanted me to marry a princess; at this time I fell into a lethargic sleep, doctors were coming, touching my pulse - "the heart has stopped, he is dead" they noted, and said I had to be buried; I said within myself: "can this be death?" I could not give a sign that I am alive; my fiance' came with her father and I hear him tell her to cry a little - "so people can say that you loved him" - "I never loved him, I love his wealth", she replied; and I told myself: "if the Lord returns me to the world, I will take up a different life"; how difficult it is to be alive and not be able to say that you are alive; to see everyone crying and not be able to say you are alive!" And how many souls are buried like this! There is nothing worse then to be buried alive. The greatest unhappiness is to stay for days and months on Earth and not to be able to get rid of your body; this is the heaviest prison - the inferno! If we were pure, we would know when the soul has left the body and we would never have such sufferings. After the doctor says that the sick man is not alive, the people suddenly say: "Take him!" They will make him a nice coffin and with songs and music they will carry him away. Where goes their love? This is the love of the fellowmen and the society! Someone says: "I love you!" How? Like the cat loves the mouse, or the wolf loves the sheep? This also is love. But this is such love, from which the world suffers. The love that the world needs is to love others, and to help them to be happy, as we are happy. And that is why Jesus has said: "He that believes in Me, will do what I do, and whoever loves Me, will also be loved by my My Father, and He will come and will make an abode in him". You say: "What will happen with Bulgaria?" I ask you: "What will happen with you?" You do not know that the devil has taken all your possessions, has sold even your skin, and you are asking: "What will happen with Bulgaria?" Bulgaria - this is you. You must pray so that God helps you to drive out this uninvited guest within you, to preserve your possessions, your mind and your heart. The devil is to be blamed for these sufferings. You should not be angry with him. I praise him for one thing only - he is very diligent, he does not become disheartened; if you chase him out of one door, he comes back through another; if he does not succeed in one way, he will look for another, a third and a fourth. This is an excellent and commendable quality of his. And the Lord says: "Take example from him: he is a teacher of the people, he teaches them and he will teach all of them; when he lies to you and lies, at last you will say: "We have learned your lies and you cannot deceive us any more". Someone said to his friend: "You cannot deceive my monkey"; his friend approached the monkey and started to pretend that he is asleep, the monkey closed its eyes as well and the friend took the money; its master came back and gave the monkey a good beating; the second time the monkey will keeps its eyes wide open, it will not close them, because it knows that the stick will be used again. With the experience we have in the world, after sufferings, when the devil comes, we will tell him: "My eyes are open". When you start suffering, keep saying: "I have not yet passed through the whole process of the grain of wheat." And when your thoughts and your heart transform and become wonderful, then you will acquire the image and likeness of God, and then God will resurrect you, like the Sun brings back to life the planted grain of wheat. --==[][][]==-- ______________________________________ Notes: [1] Pronounced as "J" in "Dijon".
