Into the den of lions.

They brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. (Daniel 6:16).

And the light shines in the dark ness, and the darkness did not comprehend it (John 1:5).

"The king gave the command to throw Daniel into the den of lions". This king was Daniel's friend. Read the chapter to see how that happened.

In connection to the above verse from the book of Daniel, I would like to read John, chapter 1, verse 5: "And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it". Regardless of our life situations and how difficult they may be, we all need understanding of how life works. External understanding or thinking that we understand, is just not enough. There is a difference in the way we understand and when I say "understanding", I mean this type of understanding that builds and creates. I speak of knowledge, that brings order in the world and harmony between the people.

Many of you reflect on the word "knowledge" and argue that according to apostle Paul, it can make you self-important. It is true that Paul says that, but the Love will edify it. I will add: "A knowledge, joined by Love enlightens". Those, who don't possess the Divine Wisdom, they are able to set apart; they carry hammer to break a stone into million pieces. I see all these intelligent people, working in the labor camps, braking stones and paving streets.
 

We are not going to see two people sharing the same opinion in any society today. If one person says: "Let me tell you what I think about this", the other will say: "No, let me tell you what I think about that". Then, they start arguing who was right. If two drunks are rolling in the mud and argue who got less dirty, what would be the moral of their argument? The society today doesn't solve the root of the problems but blames people for not being moral. I have a specific idea about what is the moral. Some people believe that lying less or stealing less will fix the problem. This is not significant. People today have become so one sided that the quality to see things from one side only, is causing them pain. People have become so grandiose, they resemble an electric button or a ticking bomb, it is enough someone to touch it and it will explode. So, when we read the contemporary literature, we will see the similarities between the society today and the one in Roman Empire. There is some analogy. There is a big downfall in Christianity! Instead of looking for the way out, the people are trying to hold up what is coming down. They look like a businessman who is heading for bankruptcy; he is trying hard to find money and patch his finances. The same in the field of science; we have reached the frontier and can’t go further. The organs the man is using and the strength he is possessing, are not sufficient to propel him across that frontier. To make a complete stop, he can't. The nature will come into play to awaken his noble and sublime forces so he can continue the path of his development. It is not important whether you understand or not. The living nature will force you understand, the way it forces the water to move machines. They pour water into the boiler, heat it up and the steam then moves the machine, tutu, tutu. One day, people will be inside of this boiler; the husband was not happy-tutu; the wife was not happy- tutu, until the wheels start moving. The teachers, on one side will say tutu; the student on the other- tutu; the preachers on one side-tutu, the congregation on other- tutu, until the wheels of Life start moving forward.
 

"They cast Daniel into the den of lions". Daniel is a character, completely opposite to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Daniel 3:23). Their ordeal had political reason. The trials, people go through, have different undertone: personal, domestic, social, or public. Now the Bulgarians are going through trials. No matter how different these trials are, they have common denominator. The Bulgarians are in the burning furnace just like the three figures from the book of Daniel. The common denominator puts them in the furnace saying: " money, need to pay some money!". "Wait for us to catch our breath". "Nope, need to pay now". The Bulgarians are now in the situation of a commercial lawyer, who was attacked and beat up because didn't have money in his pockets.


 

He traveled from Tarnovo to Sevlievo (villages in Bulgaria). He emptied the contain of his pockets at home, before the trip, because he didn't want to be robbed. Eventually, he was stopped by robbers, they searched his pockets but found nothing. Angrily, they asked him: "You are a lawyer, you make good money, why your pockets are empty?" After that they beat him up and let him go.

Now, they beat the Bulgarians real bad. "We suffer from the union", (countries allied in WW1, translator's note). Why they beat them? Because they don't have money. The newspapers tell us different stories about this, but there is only one reason for the suffering - Bulgarians don't have money to pay their debts. If Bulgaria has two and a half billions in gold to pay her creditors, the torment will stop. (Here the author speaks about reparations following WW1, translator's note).

" They threw Daniel". In this chapter, the test was designed for one person only - Daniel. I mentioned about the three men and how they were forced to bow before the golden obelisk. Speaking of Daniel, he was forbidden to pray to his God. He was told: "You have no right to exercise your belief. You are expected to act according to our demands". His enemies turned him over to the king, who established the following statute and made a firm decree:" Whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except the king, shall be cast into the den of lions". But Daniel didn't follow this order and prayed his God three times a day, the king ordered him into the den. The test of the three men, I call "test of poverty", because a man struggles to make ends meet. The man will be in the fiery furnace to fight this struggle. The second test, that of Daniel, I call "test of fortune", because man wins over the external difficulties; he has knowledge and that brings internal temptations.


 

Today, the world is going through the first experience - the one of the three men. Christians, including you, are going through the second one. If they throw you on the lions, will you still have your beliefs? Lions represent nails, i.e. the raw force in the universe. Are you going to obey that force? When they threw Daniel in the pit, he managed to tame these lions. Your soul has been already thrown in the den. Can you tame the lions, or they will stick their nails and teeth in your skin and shred it? Need you come out of the den and admit that you have no beliefs? Dive deep into the meaning of the prayer to understand why Daniel prayed God three times a day. He drew strength from God. A person must draw strength from somewhere - his family, society, the humanity if you will. Don't assume that man is strong to stand just by himself. The belief itself is not enough. A person is strong because he is drawing living force from somewhere. Living force is the one that builds, it is undivided conscious; If you attempt to split it, you will lose it. The Bible says: " Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate".


 

"They cast him into the den of lions". Daniel knew the danger he was facing and prayed three times a day. He prayed three times a day like people eat three times a day. So, the same law that apply to eating, also apply to praying. When a person is food deprived, he feels a lack, a shortage of some sort; when the soul is prayer deprived, she feels exactly the same way. The prayer is not some mechanical process, but just the opposite, it is inner necessity of the soul. The prayer is a chatter between the soul and God; it is a reality, not a shadow, it is this, that in a certain moment gives strength to the mind, the heart, the soul, and the spirit, and is real. The reality doesn't exist outside of the man. A person, who understands the inner code of reality, understands the sameness of all things; if a man doesn't understand this code, he sees things in different forms- some easy to apply and some difficult; the way he sees reality, will define his relationship to the Root Cause of things. The life of the strong man comes easy and pleasurable, but the life of the weak is full of sufferings. A person who is weak and poor-spirited, often put himself in danger; he doesn't fulfill his obligations and is forced to lie; he doesn't think and feel right; he doesn't like to work and always looks for the easy way out.


 

One day, one Bulgarian man, a farmer, became tired of the hard work on the field and decided to look for a better job, where he can rest. "I had enough of pushing the plow, time to look for something else", said the man and drove to the city. He knocked on few doors, but the work seemed to be difficult. One day, while he was strolling in the park, he saw a conductor who was waving his stick, while the orchestra was playing music. "This is the job I want", said the peasant, " I will be waving the stick and the music will play". The man requested immediately to be hired as an orchestra conductor.

Today, everyone has put his application to God to get hired as a conductor; for them the meaning of life lays in waving the stick. Everyone runs away from difficulties or suffering and only talks for food, drinks, and leisure. Everyone discusses the latest theater play. I see much better plays on the streets of Sofia. The actors in these plays are natural, they play without pay, untaught. How many men and women play on the scene of their homes without expecting reward! How many children take part in their parents play! Bravo, you are true actors, no one pays you, no one applauds you, but you keep on playing.


 

"They cast him into the den of lions". When we read about Daniel's life, can help but notice how much knowledge and wisdom he possessed. The prophecies he made clearly show that he was familiar with the codes of science, back then and today. He was Kabbalist. When he passed the test, he moved to a higher position in the kingdom of Babylon. You are also passing the test of Daniel. They will throw you in the den of lions, along with the raw forces and if you pass this test, if you manage to deal with your own raw nature, you will come outside and enter the new era. All this means that you will be master of the conditions and situations. Who are the lions? - The human passions. No force is more vicious, and no lion is scarier than the human passions. They have destroyed kings, popes, scientists, and philosophers; no ordinary person can resist. Once upon a time, there was a saint, who stood out for his holiness and purity. Tons of people came to him to be baptized by laying his hands on their heads. One day a beautiful, sinner woman came to him. She repented to enter the new life and wished to be baptized. When the saint saw her, he started running. He ran, she followed. She asked him why he was running, since she already repented and wanted to correct her life for better. While the saint was running, he bumped onto John the Baptist, who, in his turn asked him why he was running. "I met a very dangerous woman and have no desire to baptize her". John the Baptist made the sign of cross over him saying: "Now you can continue your work". The saint went back and baptized the woman. " Finally, I baptized this woman", he said. No, you didn't baptize her, John the Baptist did.


 

Exactly the same is happening to you - every time you face a danger, you run. Chris meets you on the road, crosses you over, and you go back; you conquer the danger saying that you have won. No, Chris is the one who won. This is the problem today, people think they accomplish things by themselves. The reality is, no one can accomplish anything on his own. So, I am asking you, how many of you can baptize woman or a man like that? It's not to blame, but you are far from understanding the human soul, if you know what soul is. That is why any form can be appealing to you. "They threw Daniel into the den of lions". In Daniel we see a man who already built his character, a man, who has endless love toward God. Who can pray? -Only those who love God! Prayer without Love does not exists. A person speaks well or prays from the bottom of his heart only when he experiences deep suffering or joy. When a person loves someone, he speaks polite, with Love. I don't mean prayer based on fear, this is not what I am talking about. When I say "prayer", I mean conversation with God. You are going to pray like the child saying: " God, when I was coming down from heaven, I couldn't foresee what was awaiting me. I came out of you clean and now I am unclean. I have sinned without any intention. I didn't fulfill my obligation to You. Forgive me and set right my path". When you say the truth, God will help you immediately; when you say that you are a sinner, without mentioning how and where you have sinned, you are not ready to speak the truth. Sinner could be a husband who didn't fulfill his obligations toward his wife and the opposite; mother and father towards their children or friend toward friend. When a person doesn't fulfill his obligation toward mother, father, children, friend, he is a sinner.

One may ask: "What obligation do i have to my wife?" You know better than anyone else. When you came down from heaven, you have promised to help and lift her. "I have promised to whom?"- To God. You have promised to merry her and be faithful. God told you that if you fulfill your promise, he will help you too, but when you came down, you completely forgot about it. You said to yourself that there are so many women that you don't have to marry to that specific one. It is true that there are so many different women, but only one exam is given to each person. A specific woman is set for each given man. Having many women means adultery. The bible says uncertain is the way of the two-faced man. We need one law, one moral. The current life is preparation for the future one. Very simple, you will exit this world and will enter the other one; will exit the school and enter the society, among educated, intelligent people, who don't tolerate any lies and dishonesty. If you cant baptize one beautiful lady, then you are weak.

"Into the den of lions". Your soul is in the dent of lions; today's person shows his true self. Life will put him through different obstacles, just so he can see his inner doubt. People today don't trust each other; you talk to someone who trusts you and the next day he doesn't know you anymore, doesn't trust you. Who is the loser? - The one who has no trust, who moves away, stays afar from the Source of Life, he is the loser; he is the one who loses his inner strength and as a result, scars his mind. Everyone, man, or woman must befriend a noble-minded person, because not every noble person is noble-minded. Since people's interests are so enmeshed, they think, it would be beneficial to befriend ministers, doctors etc. What count is to be a noble-minded regardless of your status. Possessing power is not sign of being noble. Being physically strong is one thing and being mentally strong is another. The first one carries bombs and weapons and can kill at any moment; the second doesn't carry any weapon, but anywhere he goes, helps, and lifts others. The inner, the spiritual strength, defines the dignity of a person.


 

" Into the den of lions". You, who threw your souls into the den, what was your reward? The story goes that King Darius, who commanded Daniel into the lion's den, couldn't sleep all night. Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions. He cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel: "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions? Then Daniel said: "O, king, live forever" (Daniel 6:20,21). Then the king commanded they should take Daniel up out of the dent and to bring those men, who had accused Daniel and they cast them into the den of lions - them, their children, and their wives. When they throw you into the den, your soul should not sleep, but pray all night long and pass the test. Christ is saying: "Stay awake to take the test". Today, all the people, men, or women, are taking a serious test. The future generation, your children will affirm whether you passed it or not. If you pass the test, you will come up and out of the dent with bright face; if you fail, your face will darken.



 

" And the the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it" (John 1:5). In this case the meaning of the darkness is the condition when a person scarifies the Divine, in order to receive pleasure. The meaning of the light is the condition when a person grows and develops rightly. Today our society needs more than ever people/characters like Daniel. How can we build a future society or parties without characters like him? What we see today is that all parties, societies and nations walk on the same path. If this keeps going like that, everything will fall apart. All nations and societies came to the point where the humility should take over. That is how Christians think: " One day when the human race raises to nobility, we will take our share". Well, don't wait for that time because the human race is made up of individuals who need to take their exam. This wont happen at once, everyone has specific time for it. The Spirit world is perfect, no one can enter this world without passing the test. The test is given here on the earth, and only individuals who pass it will enter. No man can receive the love of his wife until doesn't pass the exam in the lion's den and vice versa. Respectively, the same is true for the nations and societies. No nation or society can advance without passing the test. What can expect a woman who is in a state to sacrifice her husband's life and the life of others? What can expect a man who had sacrificed the life of many women? We can see from the statistics that both, men and women are ready to commit the most horrible crimes, raping and killing each other. This is happening in our contemporary society. How can we explain that? We say this is the law of deterioration. This is done by people who call themselves Christians and pray few times a day. If you were able to see the "naked" life of the religious people today, you would be horrified. How horrible are the inner filth and wickedness in the man!

I don't want to expose your sins, now, or to talk about the test that is coming up, but I can say that every single one of you must take it. No doubts are allowed, or you may not pass it. When a woman meets a handsome man, she should remain calm; no temptation, just remain virgin. The man tells her: " I can’t live without you". Tomorrow the same man will meet another woman telling her exactly the same. Take down this wolf and demon! They should go all the way down to the center of the earth and stay there thousands of years to pay for their debts. Do you really think that God i.e. the Love will save them? In the future, the ability to sin will be taken away from people; this will be their punishment. They say so and so has a high rank in the society. So what? That's not important. what's important is what personal qualities has this person. Can you show me one honest Bulgarian man, who remained virgin throughout his life! How about one Bulgarian woman. I am not saying that there is none, but how many Bulgarians can pass their exam? When they sit for exam on Christ or on the nation, they all flunk and everything gets flushed down the toilet. They all say: "Lets fight for our Fatherland". Go Fight, but it must come from inside, there should be an inner feeling of duty being fulfilled; that's how you stay true to yourself. when someone believes in one thing but does another, completely different, this is a crime; in this situation you can’t raise up.



 

You say: "Let's be honest Bulgarians; let's be true Christians". These are two methods used for uplifting, but before that you must sit for exam. Person's honesty will be tested and if he is not a liar or a thief, then he is an honest person. Can you find a single person in Bulgaria who had never lied? If you find a person like that, Bulgaria will be the greatest country. This person will be a rare crystal. Very often you talk about Heaven and God saying: "May God forgive my sins!" There is no forgiving anymore! God is done with the liars, thieves, and criminals. He says: " I will not forgive to those who have lied to me 999 times". That doesn't mean God hates these people, it means He will make them take the test to pay for all the lies. How many years it will take for them to pay off the lies they have spoken? One lie per year, 999 lies - 999 years. Respectively, 999 thefts - 999 years. If you add them up 999+999=1998 years. The same applies to murders, 999 murders will be paid off for 999 years. You have to keep paying off for thousands of years! Don't you think that God's Law and His Love have no value. This ordinary time has passed; new Love is coming like burning fire. This Love will propel the good people, and those who are bad, will burn in great suffering until they purify. This Love will make them go 777 times back and forth through the fire until they become absolutely pure. Then, the Love will ask them: "Are you going to sin again?" - "No, we won’t". What is going to be your situation when the Love comes? A duck walked down the street with her little ones. Out of nowhere, a rat jumped in front of them and took one duckling. The mother duck grabbed the rat by his neck and dipped him in the water until he stopped moving. "Are you going to take my ducklings? You think I am stupid?"

 

I am telling you this now: Do you think that you can play games with God? He will catch you, the way mother duck caught the rat, He will dip you in the cold water, until the desire to do evil is gone. I pronounce the following verdict, and you see for yourself if it is true or not; the righteous will listen and the prophet will get to work. Use Daniel's strength as a sword to cut with it. Can a woman resist the temptation of a man? Can a man resist the temptation of a woman? Can't you resist the temptation of cash? Cant you resist the temptation of good, tasty food? Everything can tempt you, but you can resist! Like going in the grocery store, where you like all the groceries there and you have the money to buy it, but you want to take it for free. Why the groceries tempted you? What if they catch you?
 

In a small village, close to Varna, one fox had a habit to kill the chickens of a rich man. To protect his chickens and hens, the man builds a coop with tall walls. One night the fox got inside the coop, took couple of chickens but couldn't get out. In the morning, the man went to the coop saying "Finally, I got you. I will make me a wonderful leather coat from your skin". We behave just like this fox; we kill the chickens until God catches us: "Are you the one coming in my coop messing with my chickens? Watch out". Doesn't matter if you are a lawyer, a teacher, a minister, a vicar. I am speaking here about the sins of all people; therefore, you must have zero tolerance towards your weaknesses. Absolute purity is required from all people. The members of different parties must be pure like a crystal, so we don't have a need for a police. For example, today in order to get a loan, I need at least two co-signers. If I must present myself along with two co-signers, this is a shame; if I can't pay off my debt, they will arrest me. No one pays off his debt today- those who have and those who haven't, both don't pay; both say, "Thank God I am not such a sinner". We are not talking about murder; this is the biggest sins of all. Those who kill in full understanding are sons of the demon. Even God doesn't forgive that. Why was it never forgiven to a demon? - because he is a mankiller. Do you know how difficult is to forgive a killer? He (the killer) may fill a bucket with tears and still it won't be forgiven. Why so many misfortunes happened to the house of David? - Because of the killings. Why Jewish people suffer? - Because of David's killings; his killings won't be paid off for another thousands of years. The priests today will tell you to say a prayer and fast for 40 days and it will be forgiven. Don't lie to yourself! This is not a joke, there is no forgiveness for murders, only suffering.



 

I talk to believers and non-believer because they both commit killings. Some people believe that the devil is retaliating; the average man tries to protect himself, and the spiritual man, having inner strength, rises above all and doesn't kill. Some man tried to shoot at me twice, but the bullet didn't hurt me. I asked him "What do you want, my friend? - money, horses, I can give you whatever you want, I will work for you free of pay, but to shoot at me, that is not permitted. You are taking the wrong path. Christ says: " No revenge, no killing is permitted. There will be no forgiveness to the one who kills his brother". Husband who kills his wife or wife who kills his husband, is the lowest of the humankind. The same is valid for a brother killing his sister and sister killing her brother. This is not Christian moral; this is a sin against the Holy Spirit. Even a thought of killing is forbidding. Those who commit a killing, will be condemned forever from Heaven and Earth; those who violate the commandment "Do not kill" will be considered a criminal. Now, I speak to the Christians, who have been carrying swords and guns for the last thousands of years and priests are reading prayers for blessings of the weapon. All the priests who support the idea of war, have been already condemned by God. You have seen pictures that represent judgment upon the priesthood. I can say that I am the first one who had slapped them with a lawsuit, and I will not take it back. When there is an argument in the family and one of the spouses says to the other "I wish you death", don't let that happened. Peace and harmony must be upon you; this is the new moral. I don't talk about people who don't kill, I talk about those who kill. If you this that this is revolution and all means are justified, you are wrong. People must change radically in a positive way and comprehend the idea of not killing. It is of great importance to not cause suffering and pain to the fellow man, but just the opposite - live together in mutual understanding. I don't approve the prisons and hanging places, no matter where they are. We must tell all people that the path they are walking on, is not Godly. The Christians nations did not pass Daniel's test. They don't have the inner understanding of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They didn't pass this test also; the consensus didn't pass the test, it bowed down to the golden calf. The second test is coming their way - the moral test of their values and norms. Based on the great universal laws, we already know how God will punish the nations. Will be no nation in Europe, left unpunished; they all will be shaken like a wave. To avoid this, people must take hands and stop the killings. Absolutely no killings. People are too smart today to understand all this.



 

Say no to delusions! Do Christians still think they have been saved? How comes a person who was saved to curse his neighbor "I wish you death"? He prays three times a day, repents, admit his sins, and at the same time wishes his neighbor death. That is completely out of sense. And yet, vicars and priests are talking against us saying: "God, these people from the new teaching, we wish them death. They destroy the foundation of this country". Here is our answer - there is no need for us to die, nor there is a need for them to die; all we must do is take our hands in order to fulfil God's will. a Vicar and priest should not lie or kill. Once a vicar hit one priest and knocked him down death. He didn't hit him purposely, but in a state of anger. This also is not permitted. I know lots of cases like this and I have much to say against the vicars; if I stay quiet, those from heaven wont. Maybe I am the most dangerous person in the world. Nothing is dangerous until I am still alive but when I depart, there will be nothing left from this earth. That is how God has decided. This will happen soon. I am not scaring you guys; these are laws in place.

This is what I am saying: if you continue to walk on this path, you will change the laws of universe and will create an artificial hunger; misunderstandings, discords, epidemics and deceases will appear all over the world; everything old will be swept away. Is there anything worst that that? Is not me, who is saying this, the Heaven speaks through me; my Word is alive. Do you understand? The word of God is my Word. When I project It, the deeper It goes, the more fire It catches. God is already among the European nations; the steam and pressure among the nations, the dismay among those who suffer, as well as the war, that means God has penetrated everywhere. God reveal himself as Samson. The bible speaks about the unusual strength of Samson, whos wife discovered the source of this strength - his long hair. His enemies cut his hair, gouged out his eyes and tied him to a pole next to a building. As he was tied, he prayed God to give him back his strength. God heard his prayer and soon his hair grew long again. Samson regained his power, shook the pole, freed himself, the building collapsed, and all his enemies ended up being buried underneath. God is a giant, who is awakening in the human soul and destroys everything old; God is the one who is outraged in you and fight against all injustice; He set the world in fire and fans the flames. The world cannot be fixed with guns and weapons. What will you do? Make this a rule of your life - no killings. Each killing is a sin against the Holy Spirit. Since the man was created in His image and likeness, killing will destroy God image. To kill a man, to kill the Devine in him, this means to commit the biggest crime. Control your anger; don't say that you want to get rid of you wife or husband, brother, or sister. If you get rid of them, God will get rid of you, there will be no trace left. This is how you must preach. You ask what happened with your militancy? - Militant is the one who can maintain order in the world, and preserve God's harmony. People turned away from their real purpose and started using guns and weapons, saying: "Let's sweep the world". The first ones to suffer from guns are the soldiers. The guns take their arms, legs, eyes. They say they suffered for their fatherland; they kill each other believing they are heroes. I think hero is the one who can sacrifice his leg for the leg of his suffering brother. If you make this choice consciously, I will appreciate you. Therefore, don't give your leg to the fatherland, but do give your leg to the widows and orphans. There are such heroes. One of the great Slavic characteristic is the self-sacrifice.

Few years ago in Russia, a poor widow with four small children, was accused in setting in fire the estate of a rich man. The verdict was 15 years labor camp in Siberia. A young man from the same village, thought the verdict was very cruel, since no one would watch after her kids, so he decided to tell the judge that he committed the crime. The judge decided that he made a mistake the first time, and sent the young man to Siberia. After about ten years, an old man was dying in his home and call the priest for the last rite. The man confessed that years ago he set ablaze the estate of some rich man and ran. The man also said that they couldn't catch him and punished someone else instead. The judge was let known and he ordered immediate release of the young man. Unfortunately, the young man was no longer alive. Here is one noble character!

So, it we put today all the Christians in the melting pot, we may not be able to get one real Christian. If we put all Bulgarians in the melting pot, we may get one leg of Christianity; if we melt all Greeks, we may barely get one ear of Christianity; if we melt all British, we may get the nose of Christianity. Thus, the Christianity of the British people is equal to one nose, and the Christianity of the Germans is equal to one eyebrow. This is how I see the things, doesn't matter if you are upset with me or not. Some people look at me from above and spit on me. Let them spit. They call me a criminal. It is quite true that I overstep your law, but you also overstep God's law. I would like to be punished according to God's law; if they judge me according to the human law outside of God's law, then they will never succeed.

So, we said absolutely no killings. The step after killing is lying, and after that all iniquities will follow; walk from big mistakes toward the small ones. This is a law. Start from the biggest sin, the killing and walk toward the little one. The murder created all other sins. A brother killed his brother - the first murder. It has been eight thousands of years and the humanity still can't free itself from that sin. This sin weighs heavy on the conscious of all people. Do you have an idea, what eight thousand years mean? After all that they try to convince us that killing was ok. You can't redeem a murder that easily; even Christ couldn't pay off the consequences
followed by the sin of Cain. Be alert! Don't let your old teachers confuse you. We are karmically related; every one of us is redeeming for the crime committed by someone else. People ask me why my hair is gray, because of your killings. Due to the karmic law, I am also a part of them. Your hair is gray due to the same reason. Any moment when a crime is committed, I can hear it, I feel the suffering. I see when the knife stabs someone, I hear the cry, the begging to stop until the last breath. Somewhere someone is killing a woman or a child. At the same time I see people passing by saying: " These people from the new teaching, they destroy the country, we wish them death". The truth is that I won't die. Why? Because I will chase away the devil from the Bulgarians, the vicars, and the priests. Not a single devil will remain in Bulgaria. I will easily solve the problem with the devil.



 

We are now preaching a positive philosophy, a new teaching. It is available to everyone, who is going to take it, it's not important. I have been telling you that the path you are walking on is not straight. This is true for those who rule and for those who are being ruled. Both, the left and the right, are going in the wrong direction. We don't want to sugar coat the reality. We raise out voice to every single injustice. It is not about my teaching, but the Bulgarians must live by the slogan "Do not kill". Let's every, priest, soldier or policeman say: "I wrote in my soul that I disagree with the act of killing". If you do this, don't you think that God will take your side? Still, some people are upset with me, claiming that I have insulted them. I just started; my hair became gray, yours will be too. To pass the test like Daniel, you must time the lions inside of you. If your lions tear you apart, that means that you have committed some crime. The wife says: "Look at this, something happened, my husband died unexpectedly". I know this evil thought in the wife's head that made her commit a murder. There is no mercy for the one who kills!

Let every Christian, hold a sign around his neck: "No trace of killing". Killing is a sin against the Holy Spirit, God will never forgive it. God said to Cain: " Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold" and the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him". (Genesis 4:15). People today, with their ordinary moral want to reorganize the society. This is impossible. Why man and women cant live in harmony? The husband says "I can't stand that woman"; the wife says the same "I cant stand that man". Well, if you can't stand him as a man, then stand him as a brother, or a teacher, or like a father. Go one step higher saying "he is my brother, I will stand him". Address your brother with "Love and agreement". After some short time, you will notice that he was getting mellow. The wife will achieve nothing by yelling and arguing. Then the man will say "Love and agreement!"
and the wife in her turn will get mellow. What is happening now, both men and women are acting a play, saying "we can live without love". I haven't seen yet, the face of Love among people, not yet.

Have you seen the eyes of Love? Have you seen the face of Love? People still speak about Love that burns. This is not Christianity. The wife should treat her husband like a brother and send his way clear and beautiful thoughts. The husband should treat his wife like a sister, to protect and provide for her. This is so needed today; you will be so beautiful. Do you know why people become ugly? Listen to this - when a young man finishes school, employers will catch him immediately and do all kinds of checks and tests to make sure he can work like a horse. When a woman likes someone, she will dress nicely and attractively so that she births few children when she gets married. The man says, " I am a father now", no, you are not a father, you are a hostage.

I am talking to you as a friend. You cant continue to live like that in the future. If you love that woman, just say "I am taking you the way you are". The woman must say the same to the man, instead of looking for a rich man and live in agreement, without arguments. Today, both, men and women, like to show off by looking good in expensive outfits. How they look from the inside, this is not important. This is acting, a play, moreover, this is a crime. It happens, the wife gets pregnant. The man says "I don't want that child, find a way to get rid of it". Few years pass by, and she becomes weak. "I don't know why I am so weak?". Because you got rid of it. At the same time, her husband's business is going down. No abortions, no killings! No spite and malice, these are the new ideas. Let's put the Love above everything, not just by speaking but by doing God's will. God says: "I don't kill anyone but I punish those who kill". I don't take revenge to anyone, except to those who kill. I love everyone, but to those who disregard the Love, I show hatred. No killings, no abortions, no hatred. These are the foundations of the new society. Today Christians are against Christians; evangelists, orthodox, they all say "I wish you death", then they read the gospel and cite scriptures. When they need to show off, they are ready to kill.

"They cast Daniel into the pit with lions". I challenge you to be fearless and brave like Daniel and pray three times a day. I would rather grab the shovel and work on the field with Love all day long, than to become a minister in Bulgaria; I would rather stay hungry and be the last beggar, than to become a pope. To remain pure inside, what is more beautiful than that!

When you go home, write down the following: "Absolutely don't kill your brother!" Let the husband tells his wife “She is my sister", and the wife tells her husband "He is my brother". Brothers and sisters, love and help each other. This is what God's teaching requires all over the world.

God is coming to the world. I see Him coming with frown face, holding a stick in his hand. All vicars and militias will be beaten; their robes and swords will fly in the air. Then God will ask you: why did you come to the earth: to study and learn or to disturb and embarrass the Heaven?

He is coming and there is only one way to avoid the crash: no killings. This is the only way to suppress the forces surging inside of you and the lions in the den. Then King Darius will say: "There is no God like the God of Daniel". I can say the same: "There is no God like the God of the greatest Love, which can free us. God is connected with all living creatures. He is the living Christ of Love. When He comes, it wont be any prisons or hanging places. All people of the new teaching will hold hands; let it be life and joy among us; let's say No to the old order, No to the violence, No to the prisons; Yes to the new order everywhere. You will say "Amen. Let it be". No, don't say Amen, but put your will into action!

Today's people look like that Turkish dervish, who when into a public bathhouse to take a shower. After he took a shower, he told the attendant: "Thank you, I showered well". No, it is not enough just to say, "Thank you", you need to pay a dime. Since the dervish didn't have money, he addressed God: "Dear God, please, give me a dime to pay for my shower, or knock down the bathhouse!"

So, when you come back here next week, I want you to bring a new, positive moral. I wish all men and women to grow in height and become at least 4 cm taller. You worry now, you worry what will happen to you and how you will finish your life. I promise to support those, who don't kill. If someone's business is not going well, I am ready to help in one condition- stop killing. I am ready to do whatever it takes, for the one, who first engrave the Law of non-killing into his soul.

Let's now announce the Law of Love. Apply this positive moral in life and don't be like the priests wishing dead those from the new teaching. God gave them knowledge and wisdom to shrink their stomachs, to eat and drink less so they can accept the Love of God instead. Some time ago, one Bulgarian man studied the history of the Bulgarian church. He had noticed that during time of differences, the clergy was actually, closer to the people in their joy and sorrow. When they united with the Greek high priests, they became closer to the government and drifted apart from God and people. If the Bulgarian clergy loves the Bulgarian people, let's commit to life according to God's teaching. All we want to know is how to apply Christ's teaching and how to rearrange our life. Why don't they tell us what Christ preached about? Christ says: "absolutely no crimes, absolutely no killing is permitted!" Everyone will love his brother; everyone will go even further by loving his enemy. Christ was applying this law. We saw that when he was on the cross. He said: " Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing".

"Don't kill!", this is the only real philosophy. A teaching that oks the murder, is fake and is not in accordance with God's love; it is teaching of the black lodge. Therefore, those who support the murder, I put on the left. I don't take part in their crimes. Christ said this, not me. Those, who call themselves "man" by definition, must stop once and for ever with the subject of killing, must separate from the fear and be ready to sacrifice his life. Everyone must stand against the violence and raise his voice by saying that whatever is happening in the world is not according to the teaching of Christ and God's Love. Come out of the lions' den whole and healthy saying: "There is no God like the God of Love! There is no Father, like the Father of Christ!". Crist said: "I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God!". Right now, God is in people's hearts, and He wants to redeem them from the biggest evil.

I would like you to be heroes. Don't worry whether my sermon is sound or not but remember the following: Murder is the biggest sin a person can commit. Whoever rejects the murder, I will send him to heaven among the saints, they will give him a hug. This is the meaning of fulfilling God's Love.

I repeat: Be heroes! Stop with all these misunderstandings among you. Eliminate the killing once and for ever!

The King says: "There is no other God but the God of Daniel, Who freed him from the den of lions".

I will add: God, whom you serve, can free you from the lions.

Sermon from the Teacher, held on April 24, 1921, in the city of Sofia.
