The White Brotherhood

As a forerunner of the New Epoch, Peter Dunov avoided the society organized according to human laws. He preached freedom of thought and that sort of organization was alien to him. His sole objective was to awaken in people the desire to live in accordance with the reasonable laws of nature. By society, he meant a model for future humanity. "Today, it is our desire to build a society that is an ideal and an embodiment of all good and noble." From the very beginning of his spiritual activity, Peter Dunov created the notion of a mystic community, the White Brotherhood. It did not belong to the material world, "not visible, not a sect, nor a church. It is something alive, beyond the corruption in which people live." And as disciples' minds were full of questions, he answered them: "Where is the White Brotherhood? It is in you!" "The White Brotherhood understands your situation and helps you resolve your difficulties." As Dunov explained, the White Brotherhood was a society of highly intelligent souls who had completed their evolution, manifesting in the physical world as humankind's helpers. Everyone who sought perfection was to become a disciple of that brotherhood. Disciples of the White Brotherhood, not of Peter Dunov, he emphasized.

Indeed, the spiritual circle around Peter Dunov never had any external organizational structure. The Master instructed with his word and his life those close to him - his disciples -to observe the ethics and the laws of the Great White Brotherhood. He taught them to be worthy persons, founders of the future society of self-awareness, high morality and internal organization. He gave them rules and recommended natural methods. Dunov often spoke on behalf of the White Brotherhood: "We are creators in this world; we build, we bring into being all that is magnificent and beautiful in it. While we are in Bulgaria, working here, the Bulgarians may be sure of their existence and well-being." "We can show you how to apply the science of life. We will draw knowledge from the living nature. However, this should be taken up by many men and women, by many workers. We will experiment and show the world the first model of renewing modern society. We do not demand blind faith and we will not call on you: come with us, be our followers. We want to present a model that anyone can follow and be devoted to the law of love." "Whoever wishes to join us, let him take off his shoes and come closer. Whoever wishes to become a member of the Brotherhood must offer his soul in a God-pleasing sacrifice." "In the White Brotherhood, everything is like in music. We neither reject nor call anyone. God calls, and the called may reject himself. In that, you are free: no one can grieve you, but no one can save you from the consequences, either." Freedom was the main law of the small society that was later named the White Brotherhood, after the invisible Luminous Presence around the Master. Every one of its members was spiritually connected with him, and the Master was working on his awareness. This society was the successor of the Fellowship of Love. The way to it passed through Love, and it acted by means of Truth. These were the two prerequisites for attaining Wisdom.

This physical projection of the great Invisible Brotherhood had its unwritten rules, the five virtues of the Pentagram: Truth, Equity, Love, Wisdom and Virtue. Observing them meant doing the will of God. The members of the Brotherhood were not many. They were pure of heart, with enlightened minds and generous souls, and lived in harmony with the Spirit.
