Chapter 3. Evolution of morals
Chapter Three Evolution of morals
If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? (1 Corinthians Paul, 9/11)
When we were talking about the origin of behavioural motives of people for the fist time, we were thinking about internal structure of elements and, reached the indivisible electron. While we were searching behavioural motives of electron we had to leave materialistic model of life existence and with the help of logic, quantum mechanics and wave genetics came to a conclusion, that the world is created by God. He also manages visible and invisible world, and He created the person in the image and likeness of Him, for some reason, gave freedom to choose the actions unlike the electron. Why? It is hard to find the answer to this question, because this theme was not discussed among all existing initial sources of the information about God and it is necessary find the answer independently, step by step tracing a history of mutual relations between God and the person. The fullest source of information on these mutual relations is the Bible. There is the information that God gave to the chosen from Israelis prophet Moses, also there is information from other people somehow marked by God and information about God-person Jesus Christ. We will address to this source.
From the Bible we know, that the first person created by God - an innocent Adam was walking in paradise until his wife Eve, because of guileful snake, did not make Adam eat a fruit from the tree of knowledge of goods and evil that had been strictly forbidden (why it was forbidden - we shall talk later). Because they broke the interdiction they were expelled from paradise, but this event was not in vain for them - it changed human nature at the worse side: there were no vested moral norms in the character, the person could not reject independently evil and choose good. It has a negative effect on behaviour of all subsequent generations of people, including me and you. For the first time it happened with Adams elder son Cain : he saw that God liked gifts of his younger brother Abel, and did not like his(Cains) gifts, he "was strongly afflicted", and wanted to change situation in his favour. God saw sincere sufferings of the young man and, knowing about defect of his nature injured by a sin, He tried to convince him not to make evil: Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." (Genesis. Cht.4). So, taking into account the situation developed after Adams fall, the person during the subsequent evolution on Earth had to try to learn to overcome independently every possible temptations and keep himself/herself from evil. It is possible, that was the primary sense to grant freedom to the person. Cain was the first offered to do it, but he didnt pass the test and killed his successful brother. As a punishment he was removed from the society, but left alive with the expectation of prospect when everything should change. After Abels death Seth, Adams third son was born, his descendants gradually mixed up with Cains posterity, and settlement of earth proceeded. But because of their defective nature strengthened with negative influence on mankind of Cains genes, the behaviour of these people was bad. Therefore, after several generations change, God saw their depravity and God regretted that He had created the person on earth and decided to destroy mankind, but to leave one only righteous Noah with his family, because found strength in himself to avoid evil. Thus, three Noahs sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth became new ancestors of mankind after the Flood. Attempts of the Creator to influence the damaged human nature proceeded. The history about chosen Jewish people described in books of the Old Testament proves it. God himself created this people, selected Abram to be its parent and presented him at the age of 100 a child Isaac from childless wife Sarah (her childbearing age ended already at that period), and from Isaac the whole nation called Israel appeared. He lead Jews to live in Hanaan and when there was famine, moved them to Egypt. After four hundred years, acting through His chosen one Moses, He made them do out of the Egyptian slavery. However they returned not at once, only after 40 years of wandering on deserts where basically ate god-send. For this time appeared the new generation of the Jews they were brought up in spirit of God worship and they strict observe all of His moral tables, that written down on stone tables and handed by God to Moses on the Sinai mountain at the beginning of their wandering. Thus God concluded the Testament (contract) with His people, according to it Jews should follow all His instructions given them in accuracy with people, and He promised to give them land, where milk and honey were flowing, and also His protection. Unfortunately, the damaged human nature prevailed, and from time to time Jews broke the Testament, and each time they were punished, but each time after fatherly bringing to reason when people realised the mistakes and corrected them, God forgave them. This continued for a rather long time. Generations of Israelis changed, but evil remained, it proved that it was not possible to change the defects of human nature if some law would be introduced, the law that established moral norms. Something else was needed - that could correct the damaged human nature from within. The most effective influence on human nature, in view of our conclusions, is the wave information influence, and only Who created the person could do it. And, such influence can be used to a developing embryo before it becomes adult person. And how to change an adult? In fact it is not possible without his consent! And since Adam the population of globe has considerably increased and began run into billions! Not to destroy "defective" mankind once again with flood. Besides there is one more difficulty: to correct each adult person it is necessary to know precisely what kind of adjusting influence required and it is necessary to try to develop such influence somehow as a whole, the problem means, that it is necessary to change not an embryo, but adult, hence the decision of this problem should be carried out with conscious voluntary participation of each concrete adult. Because in this case each person gets new qualities independently and not as a gift together with genes of the parents. And consequently the most important here is that the person should understand the plan of God to correct his/her lives. And we should try to understand this plan. For now we shall return to the chosen people
In the meantime life went on, and in Israel after some period of board of judges tsars appeared (the most known and worshiped - tsar David) tsars were trying to govern their people, also made "mistakes". Prophets, heard voice of God, taught tsars and informed that new period would come in peoples life, it would be connected with Messiah anointed God sovereign Who should create peace in peoples souls and rescue them. The most known prophecy that had concrete characteristics of Messiah, belongs to prophet Isaiah : Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right. (Isaiah, 7/14,15). Unlike Adam, Cain and all subsequent generations of people this person given birth by the maiden, can reject, at last, the evil and make good when he becomes adult. But in fact it is only one person! Even if He is the Son of God (that would be conceived as we found out not with the help of a living man, even the descendant of tsar David, but with the help of the Holy Spirit and he would be born by the maiden from Davids family, according to the prophecy - the girl because she would be pregnant without man)! But could one person can correct humankind? Certainly, God can do everything: if He created one person Adam, He can make the second, and the third . But in fact the question is not in replacing one person by another! We shall continue our "researches".
So, according to a prophecy, many centuries ago in Bethlehem young maiden Maria, the wife of old Joseph, without any contacts with him, gave birth to baby Jesus named so because of Gods angel who came to her then to Joseph, and warned him that this was the Immaculate Conception from the Holy Spirit. Many people on earth name this Jesus (= Yagve rescues) God embodied in the person, the Son of God Jesus Christ - the Savoir; some people call him just next great prophet, the teacher; and Jews (the truth, not everybody) have not recognised Him and continued to wait other Messiah - the Bar-Cohba (Ben Koziba), for example. They have made it, first, because of actual "political" reasons, and second because could not believe the woman was capable to give birth to the child without the man. Really, conception of the child in a womb of the girl having a natural barrier to penetration of any alien body, demands from the person a boundless belief in God - belief that if He could without participation of the woman create the first person Adam with His Spirit, of course He can create the person in a womb of the maiden without participation of the man. And Maria had this belief . Without this belief she just could not give birth to the Messiah. But many representatives of the chosen people did not have this belief! Even, despite of Isaiahs prophecy! Why? In fact before they were not surprised, that infertile Sarah could give birth to Isaac at that age when her childbearing period stopped and, hence, Isaac was born with mysterious participation of the God. Such position of the chosen people could seem strange if it was not predetermined by God beforehand. The matter is that irrespective of behavioural motives of Israeli people, the uncooperative altitude of the overwhelming majority of Israelis to the Christ was necessary to kill Him. In this case Israelis were chosen to become the instrument of Gods will. As a matter of fact the name of this people Israel (God gave to Jacob, from his twelve tribe the whole population of Israeli state appeared) means struggling with God. And, probably, this name wasnt given by accident. But there is a question if the name was given on purpose what it is going to be with people when the aim will be reached? We shall leave for a while this question without the answer, and return to it later. But why was it necessary to kill Christ? It is still a secret for us. It is possible to assert only His murder was predetermined from above: Jesus Christ, communicated with his followers told them that to rescue people He should die and rise from the dead in the third day. Indirectly His behaviour, and also a tremendous night pray at Gethsemane garden before He was captured by the pontiffs armed people proved that. He moved away from dozing followers who suspected nothing, He knelt and prayed to Heavenly Father: "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground (Luke chp.22) There were no prophets or teachers of mankind, before or after Christ, who went on a martyr death for the sake of people!!! Only person who know the secret of this death beforehand and came for this could do it deliberately. And it could be only Messiah sent by God!!! (Already only this conclusion is enough to recognise Jesus Christ's divine origin and, divine applicability of His mission). And if all Jews recognised Christ as the Messiah, who would dare to kill him? But then He could not perform His mysterious mission! And besides, when some Jews rejected Christ it helped to promote the distribution of Christianity all over the world (with the help of His apostles) and consequently it did not become only internal religion of Israelis, and in fact God promised to Abraham: also all tribes terrestrial will be blessed in you , God promised to distribute His good fortune not only on Jews, but also on all peoples of the world - through Christ as it is clear from our reasoning. Following our rational approach it would be necessary to consider the Immaculate Conception of Jesus Christ from the point of view of the wave origin of a matter before we continue. But for us it was made by employees of a department of theoretical problems in the Russian Academy of Science under P. Gariaevs management. During experiment they removed all parts of DNA that contain hereditary information from not impregnated spawns, and then with the help of the generator added the wave information which were removed from already generated tadpole. And spawn began to develop, muscles appeared, nerves, blood - in the image and likeness of the copied tadpole. That is, from the point of view of wave genetics, the Immaculate Conception is quite possible. And by the way (!): conception of Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit, testifies that God from the very beginning "knew" about a wave way of conception, and He has all necessary information for it, that, actually, and confirms Bible interpretation of life origin on Earth with the help of the Holy Spirit. In fact God is the Spirit and in this sense we all are Gods children. (By the way, maiden Marias mother Anna was infertile till her daughters birth and so we can suppose that Maria, like Isaac was born with the help of mysterious God). So what is the sense of Jesus Christs mission due to which it became possible to change human nature dramatically and remove the defect of Adams sin?
For some centuries b.c. when Jews because of their sins once again were punished and were in Babylons captivity, the first prophet of this period Ezekiel predicted the future revival of Israel, he said such unusual words: I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. (Ezekiel chp.36). Later some years after death and revival of Christ, apostle Paul, the most educated from all apostles, who had studied the Greek philosophy and who before was the Pharisee who followed the Old Testament, and expelled all Christs followers before he (Paul) became Jesuss follower too. He spoke about Jesus Christ, as about the priest of the New testament who died for the sake of people (unlike the old priests sacrificed animals), and at the example of Christs mission Paul confirms these words: because by one sacrifice ( his sacrifices add. mine A.T.) he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds. Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more. (Hebrews, 10/14-17). Thus, texts of Old and New Testament quoted here show, that because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice the person should change somehow from within and get the new qualities that allow him to think about people with love, to care, to feel pity for them, to keep himself/herself from fatal and bad acts. Such qualities are necessary for a harmonious life according to Gods laws. In other words, he/she should regenerate and become another person. How? He should not become a baby again! And what is it necessary to do? Lets look at the primary source again. In a few words the main sense of the instructions stated in all four Gospels of the New testament, is that the person should love God with all his/her heart and believe in Him- to believe His each word, believe that He for the mercy and love of people sent them Messiah to save them. And this Messiah - our Saviour came as human son by name Jesus, is authorised to act and speak on behalf of His Name, preaching not only belief, but also love to God and people as the main way to be rescued. At first sight these means, do not inspire seem very optimistic. We shall try to consider them stage by stage. Well, for example, what does it mean to love God? To love - means to aspire to unite with object of the love. And how to unite with someone who cant even be seen? The truth: with the Messiah people have the visible image of Son of God - Jesus Christ about Whom at the moment of His christening in Jordan And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased. (Mark, chp.1/11). That with his appearance people who believe in Him - believe that he is Gods messenger they get a visible image of object of love. And instead of the name of God Which is forbidden to say aloud, people have the name of Gods Son Whom it is possible to ask for help and Whom Father allows to forgive peoples sins. It is told about Him: I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. (John, 5/25,26). It follows from the divine nature of Son, that His existence on earth should change somehow the world and render necessary reformatory influence on people. How and what are we talking about here?
The first, what we have already mentioned, the belief in Jesus Christ as in Gods son, allows the person to see in Christ the Most Invisible God inaccessible to human mind, Who with the help of the Holy Spirit can appear whenever he wants: that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us. (John, chp.17/21). So persons belief in Christ confirms his belief that God is Spirit Which created all this world and is present in its every point every second, and give life to every creation. Such belief in Christ concretises persons belief in Uniform God the Almighty - the Creator of Heaven and Earth. At the same time we shall note, that in the quotation last words suggest that not only God and the Son make a single whole, but also the person under certain conditions can become a part of this Unity. This idea is confirmed by apostle Paul: because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God (Romans, 8/14). The understanding that God can be present not only in Jesus Christ, but also in the person is reflected in orthodox understanding of God as the Holy Trinity. Because the orthodox Christian doctrine about the Uniform God showing simultaneously in three various hypostasis (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) - the doctrine about the Holy Trinity - as a matter of fact reflects algorithm of the divine creation of world where The Creator with the help of Holy Spirit becomes a single whole with His creations, so God is everywhere, He shows Himself in His every creation. This implies, that understanding that God is the Holy Trinity reflects the understanding of creative constructive essence of the Uniform God. In fact the God is not a grey-haired elder, who sits on a cloud as some people imagine, He is Real, has the principle of His being in himself, due to what He himself generates all this visible and invisible world with all its galaxies, radiation and people. And I did not imagine that, people found out with Gods grace in the orthodox dogmas many years ago when it was no information about photons and holograms. The act of Divine creativity when the triune essence of God incorporates in a single whole in eucharistic sacrificial bowl, act that gives a new life to mankind, is expressed at venerable Andrey Rublev's icon - the Trinity. This icon in fact of the existence testifies how deeply our orthodox ancestors understood the Divine nature of the terrestrial world. Who does not believe in it , let us remember the second chapter of this work where we use extremely simple arguments to adapt an objective reality opened to us to our limited thinking, nevertheless, we came to a conclusion, that all world exists as the materialised hologram and Divine Light is its source. And if to call a spade a spade, even on the basis of this poor reasoning, we should understand, that all visible material world is created by the Lord with the help of the invisible Holy Spirit. And the earth is created this way and all its inhabitants. To make it clear to everybody, a lot of centuries ago the Messiah appeared the son of a person, Who was conceived in a womb of maiden Maria with the help of the Holy Spirit and in Which This Spirit lived in made Him Gods Son.
[P.S. 05.02.2008. Several years has passed since this work was written. During this time I have had contacts with different people and I have an impression, that they dont have an unequivocal and clear image what the Holy Trinity is, not Christians or representatives of other religions and confessions in the world. Moreover, image of the uniform God in such a many-faced kind gives Jews and Moslems cause to accuse Christians of infringement of one of the main precepts of God about inadmissibility to create idols and to worship someone else except God. In my opinion it happens because nobody in the whole world has a clear idea what God is. Therefore in addition to already stated information I want to give here an idea of God as the Holy Trinity by the simple example from physics that is accessible to human understanding. Certainly this example made by a usual person, does not apply to open the original nature of Father, but it allows showing an opportunity of Gods presence in such a triple nature at least on model accessible to human imagination.
So, lets imagine, that God is Light, who has the principle of Life in Himself. According to already known algorithm, being distributed on all directions, Light under certain conditions can be transformed to a matter, all our world consists of. Thus distribution of light is impossible without the Light source (lets accept relative - Heavenly Father), the process of distribution or radiation of light waves (action of the Spirit from Father). But what role can be given here for the Son? In this example each point of wave front falling from the Source can act as the Son. How is it possible? Here is the answer. Guigence-Frenels principle says: Each point of wave front W is a secondary source of light waves. Subsequent wave front W ′ (through time τ) is being built as bending line around wave fronts of secondary sources. Light agitation in a set point P is a result of waves composition radiated by each secondary source . I do not give here the circuit of distribution of light waves, because I hope, that interested people can find it in different textbooks. See also: http://www.ssga.ru/AllMetodMaterial/metod_mat_for_ioot/metodichki/laborator/2-3.html.
Thus, in this artificial example each point of wave front coming from a light source, is a light source, and it distributes light in different sides as the primary source, it lights up all surrounding space. (For presentation it can be presented as an opaque barrier on a way of light distribution where there is a microscopic hole. Then this aperture is light source lighting up the area for the observers behind the barrier. They dont have any other light source. But there is the same light coming from the same Source and is distributed under the same laws light is distributed in general!) . So if there is not any primary source, there wont be waves as there will not be those points of wave front which are secondary light sources: radiation (Spirit) comes from the Source (Father), reveals itself in each point of wave front (Son). Thus light reveals in three hypostatizes simultaneously. And now I shall repeat it once again, but already from the point of view of indispensability of each "participant" of light distribution process - each "person" of the Trinity: if there is no Source - there will be no light; there isnt any process of distribution - there will be no light; each point of wave front wont have the ability to become a new light source (compare: For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, (Gospel of John, 5/26).) There wont be the process of distribution, there wont be any light. This is the Trinity! And besides the same light lights up everywhere... That means that there is only one God! It is his nature, He reveals both in Spirit and in the Son simultaneously The phenomenon of God's embodiment into an animal of flesh and blood of a person also can be explained because light waves can transfer into the substance. Other thing is, that there are a lot of "sons" - such points of wave front during light distribution As a matter of fact, Christ asks us ( people) to become conductors of light !
Here are fragments from the New Testament they can confirm it. For example, already known: that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (Gospel of John, ch.17/21). The same with the other similar statement: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Epistle to the Romans, 8/14). And here the indication to the divine human nature, making is possible: the kingdom of God is in the midst of you (Gospel of Luke), ch.17/21). And the person has received this invaluable Charisma at the moment of the creation! Besides there are concrete recommendations for people, what they should do, if they want God to make them his sons. Gospel of Matthew, ch.5/44,45: But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven . And here is the quotation that shoes, that as a result of their Transfiguration people can assimilate to Jesus Christ: He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." . (of Mark, ch. 16/16-18). Thus number of people changed from slaves into Gods sons should multiply. In fact it is known, that not only former apostles with the Christ received such amazing abilities, but also many other people living many centuries after. For example, prelate Nikolay, the archbishop Mir Likiyskih, he was zealously defending the divine nature of Christ at Nikeiskiy council. And there are many others
And here Christs indication to his secondariness in relation to Father, and an appeal to people to believe Him. Gospel of John, ch 5.: I can do nothing on my own authority But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen; and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent. You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; .
He speaks about the power of the Holy Spirit uniting in a single whole (as well as about ability of each point of wave front to become a source of radiation) in ch.7: He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'" Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. .
And here His phrase which makes our allegory with light almost real: The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them . (of John, ch.12/35,36).
And finally to prove the unity with the Heavenly Father confirms it once again: And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. .
In connection with the information stated above, there should be a question about a place and value of Christs Church in the given model! According to the offered model people who have believed in Christ become small light sources similar to him the outflow of the Holy Spirit from the Heavenly Father is spread further in the world through them, improving it according to will of its Creator - the Source of life. That means many believers united by the same Spirit as the set of secondary sources; distribute action of this Spirit from the Father to the other world as the further movement of the light wave front, coming from the Primary source
And here is a fragment that finishes my addition from ch. 14 of John: Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves. "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it. "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you. "I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me; because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. .
The doctrine about the uniform God showing in the Holy Trinity, shows people how the Spirit can also exist in a bodily material kind. On the one hand Jesus Christ reveals himself as the Spirit (remember: light is a wave), and with the other hand as the fleshly person (dualism of the nature of light, light under certain conditions is corpuscles, i.e. particles of substance). Therefore it is important for us - fleshy people - that for the first time for the whole history of mankind He specifies to us our divine origin and, the main thing, an opportunity of transformation by the Holy Spirit of fleshy people into spiritual, capable as Jesus Christ to become conductors for Divine good fortune distribution for the whole world, all universe. In fact Jesus Christ is also an example of creature the person should become. Thus this doctrine shows the person a direct way to God. It is only necessary to believe in it But I shall not run too far].
Therefore in applied value the belief in
Christ means persons belief in an opportunity of God to be in every
human being:
Do
you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is
in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
(1
Corinthians, 6/19). And it
confirms our initial conclusions that each person, if he/she has
love for God and sufficient belief in (Him), can be united with Him
and become similar to Christ in all His human and divine displays,
for But he
who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit
(the same place, 6/17). Thus the person can get new qualities.
The infinite belief in God is
capable to transform the cripple into the healthy person with a
flash. And such belief promotes transfiguration of the person from
within and receiving new qualities. It was proved by those few
people, who during their life received such transfiguration, created
many miracles and subsequently have been ranked among saints.
Concrete cases are known from the history when in a minute of
extreme danger, on the threshold of death, people asked such saints
for help - Nicholas- miracle-worker, for example - and really
received the necessary and effective help. However, prelate Nicholas
or any other saint cant do it by themselves but only through God
living in them. These words of Jesus Christ show that the person has
such ability Remain
in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself;
it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you
remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains
in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can
do nothing
(John,
15/4,5). Therefore, it doesnt matter which saint person prays to,
he/she prays to God only. It doesnt matter if he/she understands it
or not. Besides prelate Nicholas (archbishop Mir Likiyskih,
miracle-worker), such saints as Paul Fiveiskiy and Anthony
Velikiy, and Saint Joseph Volotskiy, Nil Sorskiy, Sergiy
Radoneshkiy, Serafim Sarovskiy, Ksenia Peterburgskay, John
Kronshtadtskiy and many many others, both in the East, and in the
West of the before uniform Christian Church can refer to these
saints .
Explaining applied value of belief
directly for each person, Jesus Christ so speaks about it to the
pupils: Have faith in God," Jesus answered. I tell
you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself
into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what
he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you,
whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours. (Mark,
11/23,24). After Jesus Christ's explanations the belief in peoples
hands becomes the universal tool for both his own transformation,
and his supernatural mysterious influence on surrounding reality.
Due to such
pray
of faith the person turns in some kind of almighty "magician": he
can set himself any objectives and with Gods help achieve them.
Knowing about it, God on behalf of Jesus Christ warns the person of
mercenary use of this gift that people use it not to satisfy
terrestrial needs, but to to reach the kingdom of heaven.
Thus, due to this new quality of the personality updated by Christ
each person if he/she has enough belief receives an opportunity not
only to recover from various before incurable illnesses, but also to
influence the surrounding in inconceivable way.
Thus character of his/her influence on world first of all will
depend on values he/she has as the vivid priorities. Here,
certainly, it is time to recollect Christs laws (and learn to keep
them , but we shall speak about that later in details).
As a matter of fact, one of the
reasons of Gods incarnation in the image of the person named Jesus
Christ is that by the example of Christ with the help of logic to
show each person his/her Gods like human nature and
to release him/her from any earthy fears, to free him/her from
dependence on earthy values and predilections. And Jesus Christ is
proving his divine origin to Jews in dispute he is trying to explain
that: "Is it not written in your Law, 'I
have said you are gods? If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word
of God came
and the Scripture cannot be broken what about the one whom the
Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then
do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
(John, chp.10/34-36). He insists on it because if they comprehend
it, it will help their moral evolution:
Then
you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
(John, chp.8/32).
And
the truth, I repeat once again, is that the living almighty and
unrecognisable God with His Spirit has created all this visible and
invisible world, has given life to everything, that He had created
and is everywhere, showing Himself in the most various kinds - in a
burning bush from which He spoke with Moses, in persons Son called
Jesus Christ, and even in each other person, of course if he/she has
enough belief and love to God. And if the person has such belief
he/she is deified like Christ and consequently also, as well as
Christ, he/she somehow becomes life-giving spirit, so he has an
opportunity to take part in Divine process of the worlds creation
(once again we shall recollect wheat restoration after radiation
with the help of prayer).
When person realises this, he/she will understand that words
created in the image and likeness of God are not a metaphor, and
they are filled with the concrete practical sense, meaning the
presence of unprecedented qualities and opportunities. In result he
should be released from fear of death because he/she starts to
realise, that the death of a body is not the end of life for him
its just the beginning . And so he can use his life on Earth not
only to correct the nature damaged by Adams sin with the help of
the Holy Spirit, but also try to render salutary influence on world
according to the Creators plan. And he prepares himself to do his
new functions behind the death barrier. The person who has such
outlook, even if he is limited in the actions because of earthly
lifes complex circumstances, he still is internally free because he
lives and estimates all occurring events by a scale not earthly, but
by other values. Thats why it is possible
to tell, that the belief in God makes person internally free.
If somebody asserts, what he
believes in God and at the same time he doesnt understand - what he
believes in, he continues to aspire to earthy riches, as to unique
and ultimate goal of his existence, than then does his such belief
differ from paganism with its useless latria to wooden stumps and
copper idols? Such belief is reduced to formal pharisaic
instructions and ceremonies observance without internal
transfiguration of the person, without respective alteration of his
outlook. Probably it is better then nothing but it is not demanded
from person God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in
spirit and in truth
(John, 4/24).
During these reflections we basically spoke about value of belief.
But we shall return to love, we are interested how this love can be
the mean of persons transformation (in fact in a researched
context we are interested in "reformatory" aspect of Christs
mission), can she render any physical influence on human nature? If
it was so, then love has dual (wave and material) human nature
with the help of ideas inherent to love and feelings to change
physiology of all human beings. But is it possible? Can living
thing change its properties with the help of ideas and feelings?
It is said, that when a fair
person tells lies, he blushes. Means, that there is a dependence
between emotions and physiology. Its good. And octopuses and
chameleons, when they escape from enemies, are capable so to change
their appearance, that they completely merge with their
surroundings. Most observant people mention that loving couples
during the life become not only internally, but even externally
similar to each other. And it is more interesting. Everything shows
that human nature has such property and everything depends on
strength , sincerity of love and constancy of this feeling. We
shall recollect the quotation from the Testament: Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength and with all your mind (Luke 10/27). The
necessity of love strength to God ordered in this table is
actual if love really is the effective means of persons
transfiguration. In this case the requirement - to love who - takes
the first place. In fact if the love to this or that thing is
capable to make the person similar to the object of love, then from
a wrong choice there is a danger to damage the nature, when the
person worships some idol, whether it is the copper ram, sexy
"pop-star", some the enlightened teacher or the next political
leader with manners of the dictator. Most likely the law: You shall
have no other gods before me and
You
shall not make for yourself an idol
is one of the
first that God gave to Moses (Exodus, 20/3,4). It means, only God
can be that object to worship!
About an opportunity to change person with the help love is spoken
in mediated form and in the Gospel from John. In truth, I dont want
to believe in that in fact we want to receive a concrete mechanism,
concrete instructions what and how to do to receive necessary
result.
At the same time to observe moral
norms God demands not simply punctual execution of the law, but
love and compassion to fellow creatures from us, that should direct
persons efforts to the necessary course without the law. Even when
we consider the self-control concept we understand that the law
written on a paper cant foresee the whole variety of lifes
situations. The only true decision is the decision dictated by love
only. Apostle Paul said: The entire law is summed up in a single
command: Love
your neighbour as yourself
(Galatians,
5/14). Thats what we need in our modern life, and it means that
love keeps the mechanism, and without it we cant change our selves
and it doesnt matter what we do, what methods we use. Despite the
seeming irrationality of such "technique", I continue to insist on
loves effectiveness because one event in my life has pushed me to
it.
Several years ago, approximately in 1992, in summer, I woke up
because of the dream: in front of me at arm's length there was a
wooden cross with body of crucified Jesus Christ hung that seemed
lifeless. His face, against expectation, was not so similar with
icons and pictures and I remember, that it surprised me a little.
The pale and emaciated body amazed with its tangible reality. We
were in an unfamiliar big city, and somehow in the air, above the
wide prospectus. I could hear different voices of the noisy city
centre. Cars passed somewhere below. Men and women, children and old
people, with cases and shopping bags, were chatting and hurrying .
The terrestrial world lived its usual life. Nobody noticed the
Saviour. I lifted my head and suddenly saw His eyes in front of
me. Pure and clear, they looked from the open beautiful face. And at
that moment I didnt know from where I heard a silent voice:
Louve me. Exactly "louve", as though with a foreign accent,
instead of "love" as I would say.
I
was shocked. Does Gods Son come to life to make these words?! I did
not trust myself and in my dream I begged, asked to confirm, that I
did not mishear. Now, I was not breathing, I steadfastly peered into
His dry lips. Each second seemed an eternity At last, lips stirred,
and somewhere inside myself I heard again: Louve me. I woke up. My
heart was throbbing. The dream disappeared as if I was not sleeping
at all. Clocks showed something about half past three at night. I
had never ever seen something like that and I will never forget it.
Jesus Christ appeared in my dream to teach me, but
He
was speaking not only with me but with all people,
and, it means everybody should know it.
As
a matter of fact, thats why I have decided to tell this dream,
and I started this work. Otherwise I would only bring the contents
of only the first chapter to the notice of the narrow circle of
people, who can make decisions at the state level.
So,
if God appeared in a dream to pronounce these words, it means we
do not love! Not only do we not love, but also do not feel such a
need in ourselves ! We are anxious to get money, "wrapped up" in
daily routines! And we decided to do the most important things
later! And this later" might not come!
If
God came to us in a dream to make these words, it means they are the
most important to rescue persons, so that love to Jesus Christ - to
an ideal of the person, in Which God lives, is the means with
which to help the living guilty adult become capable of changing
into the new person similar to Christ. Because in love two
become a single whole, love allows one to feel completely
sufferings and pain of another, completely empathise with him/her
and become a part of him/her. In love, I repeat, there is some
secret of ability of human nature to transfigure.
In love to God, connected with strong belief in Him,
the person becomes with Him, as well as with His Son Jesus Christ a
single whole, and as well as Christ the person passes all stages of
transfiguration from voluntary acceptance of the Holy Spirit to
acknowledgement of his changed nature with the help of love deeds
like Christ who has confirmed His love to us with his voluntary
sacrifice on cross for our sake.
And
Im not casually speaking about the living person because if the
person feels love to God it reflects the certain abilities of his
consciousness to the internal transfiguration.
Only if the person changes him/her self this way,
he/she is capable spontaneously, not with the help of law, but from
internal prompting to execute all laws of the Father.
Till now we spoke basically about Jesus Christ's enlightening
mission - what He has come to inform people about. But we have not
answered the question, why did Christ have to die for us? In fact
not because people have to love Him because of this sacrifice
(though, why not, in fact such sacrifice is worthy of something more
than simple respect if to realise its latent true sense). The
truth is that many people who do not believe in Him, try not to
notice this sacrifice.
Perhaps, Does the sense of this
sacrifice show that the death of Christ is able to influence in
some incomprehensible way the whole world and all people? In fact on
Calvary not the usual person was crucified but Gods Son specially
sent to rescue people, and He like His Father has a life in
himself! In fact apostle Paul said about Christ, that because by
one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made
holy ( Hebrews , 10/14).
Let's address the description of
the moment of Jesus Christs death : From the sixth hour until the
ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour
Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama
sabachthani?"which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?" When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's
calling Elijah." Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He
filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to
Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if
Elijah comes to save him." And when Jesus had cried out again in a
loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of
the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and
the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy
people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs,
and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and
appeared to many people
(Matthew, chp.
27, 45-53). (marked out by me).
If
to judge on this fragment the death of Christ was really
accompanied by many improbable and inexplicable phenomena. But Are
these phenomena somehow connected with the above question and do
they have any plausible explanation if we use the rational approach
despite how blasphemous it sounds?
A
similar "strange" dependence between externally unconnected
phenomena was found about 40 years ago in experiments of Soviet
astrophysicist N. A. Kozirev. During these experiments the scientist
made, as he thought, irreversible actions. In one case he
cooled the hot liquid in thermos down to room temperature, and in
the other he dissolved sugar in a glass (irreversibility here,
probably, was provided that getting cold water itself cannot
warm again, and sugar unlike salt, is not capable to crystallise
again spontaneously from a solution). The most surprising, that
these actions led to balance infringement on ordinary beam balance
which was nearby. Besides in a place experienced fluctuation
frequency of quartz plates (which cant be changed in usual
conditions) changed, electrical conduction and volume of some
substances decreased. It is necessary to add, that instead of the
weight on one side of beam balance there was a untwisted gyroscope
and, the similar phenomena were observed if the direction of
gyroscope rotation changed. Results of these experiments have been
confirmed with similar experiments in other countries. Based on
these results, N. A. Kozirev has proved that there is a cure on the
Moon, that subsequently has been proved in practice, and for which
he has obtained the international recognition.
Anyhow, but these experiments prove that there is a real physical
influence of the certain invisible and undetected forces on the
material visible world. The scientist in spite of the fact that many
people did not agree with him, thought the results of the
experiments are consequences of time condensation caused by
performance of irreversible actions. So in his opinion time
factor is able to render physical influence on the material world if
there is a time balance at infringement connected with
irreversible actions.
And
really somehow it is strange, that dissolution of sugar causes
change of quartz fluctuations frequency, or change of some
substances volume. What is the connection between sugar and quartz?
The earthly logic prompts - none. The specified properties of
subjects (quartz frequency of fluctuations and volume of substance)
always had stable character, and here suddenly there is such
instability, such tremendous changes that turn the world upside
down. It reminds us of chaos, infringement of those physical laws
which keep a matter in a stable condition and allow our earthly
world, the whole Universe to exist harmoniously!
In
these experiments there is one nuance which can approach us to a
solution of such phenomenon. That sugar cannot crystallise again
from a solution and it is still possible to understand as the
irreversible phenomenon. But why does the back rotation of a
gyroscope cause the same reaction? Unless change of a rotation
direction can be the irreversible factor? Till now the direction of
rotation is irreversible only in one case: at transformation of
electromagnetic waves energy into elementary particles when at
change of rotation direction of a wave packet of a photon positron
appears instead of electron.
But from this, to sum up all
concurrence it is possible to make the first very cautious
conclusion, more precisely, the assumption. It says, that processes
which Kosirev named the irreversible phenomena, cause balance
infringement in a material world because they are directed against
the general direction of constructive creative forces action in the
universe (based on cause-and-effect laws). So with regards to these
forces they have the destructive character that break current of
controlled cause and effect creative process of energy
transformation into a matter. Or in other words: the phenomena that
because of their irreversibility or some other reason break off the
chain of cause and effect events of creative constructive process in
the universe. So they destroy dependence between cause and effect,
these phenomena break the balance in the world, as has been fixed
in N.A.Kozirev's experiments.
Because the creative process has not casual character, it is
possible to assume, that these destructive phenomena should be
overcome somehow. There should be some unknown to us feedback
which depending on action of destructive forces should develop the
counter-measures that help to overcome revealed imbalance and
restore broken balance. It is natural, that such feedback origin
should be the same source that manages creative process of matter
creation in the universe. We shall consider these feedback actions
in details.
So:
in Kosirevs experiments of course, if to follow his interpretations
of the occurred events, balance infringement is caused by
irreversible actions. The main thing, that these actions, and it
doesnt matter how we name them, break natural sequence of events in
the "cause-and-effect" chain, that on a basis of feedback that
works in the given self control system, supports balance in the
world. How could the above mentioned feedback show its worth in this
case?
Let's start with that when such actions are fulfilled the process
of cause-and-effect chain of events reproduction in any local self
control system (system necessary to perform some function necessary
to life) stops. But as all events of a material world are
objectively made on the basis of cause and effect dependence then
the continuation of this interrupted process should find the
expression in some other way. In connection with that, each self
control system, according to the structure of a matter we have
considered before, is an element of other bigger systems; that
means, the processes in it as in a separate element, should be
shown somehow in the bigger self control system. In result in this
system the above described inexplicable phenomena appears, which are
the consequence of cause and effect process interruption in one of
the elements (in a smaller self control system ). In Kosirevs
experiments it was done with the help of irreversible water cooling
and sugar dissolution. So these "inexplicable" phenomena continue at
a new level the cause and effect process interrupted by irreversible
actions.
But what is the mechanism of such feedback , how does in happen?
We dont have an answer on this question and we will return to it
later.
For
now we shall recollect that we became interested in existence of
inexplicable dependence between not connected phenomena externally
because of possible influence of Jesus Christs death on the world.
From here we can ask: if there are some examples specifying
existence of similar undetected dependence, but connected not with
sugar dissolution but with death of a living thing. In fact for
conditions of earthly existence death can be the first irreversible
phenomenon!
Several years ago scientist I.A.Agadjanian - the expert in the field
of cybernetics, who was studying the feedback phenomenon, revealed
an unexpected strange dependence between death and birth rate of
individuals inside one species. His researches have shown repeatedly
that violent death of large quantity of young healthy individuals
from floods, earthquakes or forest fire leads to inexplicable flash
of birth rate of this species new individuals. Dependence was
available, but it was not possible to find out the channels to
transfer the information. It is interesting if there was natural
death of the old or weakened animals, there was no break in natural
balance between life and death of the given species, or,
otherwise, this death did not break cause and effect course of
events natural to the terrestrial world (and because of that it
did not cause need to fill up the damage) and there was no
flashes of birth rate.
In
this case there is the process of balance restoration, balance
that was broken by destructive forces (because the death of young
healthy things means destruction of a cause and effect chain of life
creation between different generations). But in usual conditions as
it follows from the concept of self-control, process of balance
restoration is done under influence of direct feedback forces,
that connect directly a cause and effect. That feedback
surprised us because it cannot be found out. What kind of feedback
operates in this case?
By
consideration of experiences of N.A.Kozirev we already spoke that it
there should be a feedback caused by action of that force which is a
source of the information managing all positive transformations in
the universe.
In
Stanislav Zenins experiments we have already met similar and
undetectable action of feedback forces, connected with balance
infringement in society. It was the episode with the stolen purse,
when water reflected in the molecular structure reaction of a source
of the information (that transforms energy in the square matter) on
moral balance infringement in the world. Both in that and in the
other case the feedback was turned on when there was the need to
restore balance - to be exact, when some information pulse
appeared and signalled about the infringement: it was the mass
premature death of animals, or emotions of the person who took hard
the loss of money.
There is a need of informational pulse to turn on the feedback so
it is possible to suggest that this feedback is an informational
phenomenon, its second display is wave energy redistribution in
space, is made with the help of electromagnetic waves. And, as we
already know, due to wave superposition principle there are no
restrictions for information in space and consequently the
information about everything should be everywhere. The above
described examples with the hologram prove it. And taking into
account, I repeat, that the hologram itself is necessary only to
fix this phenomenon on the material object, so that similar
instant or, perhaps, "holographic" process of information
distribution takes place everywhere and without such object.
The
information everywhere allows us to make the feedback between an
information component of our world and its embodiment in the matter,
irrespective of existing structure of the matter. In fact, as we
have already told, due to the wave nature of matter the whole
material world has quantum character and its "construction" is made
under information "drafts" so that the created material world should
fully comply with them. If during functioning of our visible world
there are infringements (moral, time, power or some other character)
they with the help of the feedback between the visible and invisible
world find the reflection in its information program and
consequently they cause adjusting information influence which with
the help of purposeful energy redistribution in space should restore
the broken balance with the help of invisible to the material world
way, and the structure of matter doesnt mean anything. Therefore,
sometimes it happens when balance infringement in one system is
restored, as in N.Kozirev's experiences, with the help of change of
force balance in another.
As
a matter of fact, the results of Agadjanians researches seem
unusual only at first sight. We have met the similar feedback effect
before in many other cases. And we dont realise it, but we have
learned to use this effect.
Gardeners, for example, know, that when they cut, break or bend
down to the ground the branch of fruit-trees they force trees to
fructify more intensively as though with the destabilising factor
that breaks the program of fructification, trees want to compensate
the damage with the help of other branches and restore the broken
balance. The same is true of cucumbers, farmers "pinch" their
stalks, to speed up the process of fruits ageing. This is the sense
of inoculation of a living organism against some disease : the
inoculation by means of the "information" feedback will mobilise
organisms forces for successful realisation of the program of its
development that is incorporated in its information "draft". In this
sense making oneself fit with cold water or medical starvation makes
organism stronger; it is possible to consider these as special cases
of such information influence on an organism. And the church fast
with the prayer leads to another consequence because it is caused
by other incentive reasons, not medical starvation (but they are
also processes of creation) . The consequences are - moral
transformation of the person (of course the person who fasts for a
long time).
In
all these cases we did not think of how the signal from the broken
branch penetrates all parts of the given tree, causes increase of
fructification intensity of all branches of the tree. We believe
that, for example, in the case with the person it happens with blood
stream or due to the central nervous system according to the program
of life-support of the organism, incorporated in his/her genes (or
in genes of the fruit-tree). And consequently we were surprised to
find in Agadjanians researches how the signal inside one species is
transferred from one dying individuals to another living one.
We were not psychologically ready to recognise, that our world is a
quantum object. And consequently, visually (or with the help of
imperfect equipment) we do not find connections between separate
representatives of some species of living beings, so we do not
consider this species as a uniform complete organism.
But
in a uniform information prototype of the universe each species (or
each self control system if to speak about N.Kozirev's experiments)
is submitted by the separate information program and so it doesnt
care whether the parts of a uniform body of an informal uniform
organism of the given species touch each other or not, because
instant connection between all parts of a living material world
first of all is made inside its information prototype. (As it was
mentioned above, we call this connection an instant one because the
information about the whole universe is everywhere, and there is no
necessity to waste time on transfer of a signal from one point of
space to another). Because of that in the experiment with snowflakes
in the frozen water, the information about Hitler or about mother
Teresa was reflected in the molecular structure of the water. In
fact in this case it is not possible to speak about genetic memory
of the water taken from a source in Japan about role Hitler carried
out, who lived approximately fifteen thousand kilometres from this
source: water is just the plastic material,
is susceptible to the wave information which is everywhere!
For
the information program responsible for all sides of physical world
existence, there is no difference in parameter of functioning the
physical world balance is broken. A primary factor for the
feedback is the infringement of dependence between cause and effect
(whether it is infringement in various kinds of proportions
between them or "Kozirevs" irreversible actions). It is
important that as result of some destructive actions information
balance in system was broken or, in other words, conformity between
the information in a wave way and its realisation in a material way.
Imbalance because of this distinction also includes the
"information" feedback that renders physical influence on the
material world. If from this point of view to look at Christs call
and instead of one cheek to turn the other when you have unduly
offended, it becomes clear, that such actions should cause
infringement of logic dependence between cause and effect. In fact,
from the point of view of normal human logic, the person should
strike back, and here, suddenly, instead of retaliation the person
turns the other cheek. From the point of view mentioned above it
really is infringement of logic dependence between cause and effect.
Therefore, in view of all information mentioned above such simple
performance of Christs recommendation first, allows us to suppress
the chain reaction of the answer of violence to violence, and
second, includes the above mentioned feedback, it itself rewards
offender according to his deserts but in the other way. It can be
even more rigid, than the victim can do. Individual people, once
have found strength in him/herself to endure undeserved insult and
not to revenge, sow it. Certainly, I do not appeal to observe
passively how the criminal rapes his victim or commits some other
crime. In this case we can say that due to information feedback,
justice in the world is restored even then when the person is not
capable to restore it by himself.
The main conclusion which should be made from
Kozirevs and Agadjanians experiment is that informational law is
in the basis of material, this law establishes cause and effect
dependence between all elements of the world (as ways that with you
people acted, and you act with them ), that allows to make this
world the self control system that is capable of using feedback to
keep itself in a harmonious equilibrium condition with the help of
informational feedback. Due to quantum character of this world any
balance infringements instantly becomes known in every point of
space and consequently the mismatch between initially incorporated
information and its realisation in a material way causes the same
instant turn on of the feedback that restores broken imbalance
directly (as it is in details described in the first chapter ), or
invisibly (as in Kozirevs experiments).
New
unprecedented illnesses, increase of natural cataclysms and
technological accidents is caused by increase of disparity and usual
feedback in local self control systems, cant overcome them,
compels to liquidate the broken balance with the help of global
information (holographic or quantum, what ever) feedback. And in its
actions such feedback takes into account a true state of affairs,
irrespective of its interpretation by the people interested in it,
people who sometimes give black out to be white. So it is necessary
to fight with these accidents not only with the help of dam
construction, etc., first of all we should reduce lie and its
contradictions in the society. Then there would be less accidents.
If
now, in view of this information we make the analysis of the first
events that accompanied Jesus Christ's death, they should help us to
understand the following.
That a veil in a temple tore in two pieces, from top to bottom
should mean that there were discrepancies between plans of the
Founder concerning chosen people and how Jews performed this plan,
they transformed a living belief into formal observance of
ceremonies and instructions, at heart they were callous egoists.
(Subsequently this influence became harder and as a result after
several years after Christs death the temple in general was totally
destroyed, Jerusalem was razed to the ground, and Jews lost their
state). And dead have risen in coffins means, that Jesus Christ is
the personification of that creative constructive force that gives
life to the universe, and to all its inhabitants and, It means, He
really is Who He pretends to be He is Gods Son and persons son
sent by God to save us, so he is God in human form.
Thus, now it is really possible to tell that Jesus Christ's death
was the act of divine influence on the earthly world, and it has the
certain creative function to update mankind morally. While, the
truth, we can speak only that it turned on "information" feedback
which according to signal produced by Jesus Christ's death should
render necessary adjusting influence on mankind. But at the same
time we know, that this feedback should render individual influence
on each separate person, and it depends on his/her behaviour, and we
dont know the concrete mechanism of such influence.
So
it is necessary to note, that besides death on a cross Jesus
Christ's mission included also His subsequent revival on the third
day after death. And if Christs death was not accidental, probably,
and His planned beforehand revival also should play some important
role. Lets look at it in details.
But
we speak about Christ, as about the real historical character. And
how real is His existence in a history of mankind? I ask about it
because some "scientists" think that Christs history is a myth. I
allow myself not to agree with them.
Well, first, there are too many details to invent this history which
at the moment of their writing could seem even absurd or nonsensical
and their meaning become clear only now, during the development of
science. And second, besides the initial books of the New Testament
recognised by church there are many others - the conventional
historical evidences (for example historian Joseph Flavia) that
prove that there was such a person as Jesus from Nazareth. I shall
give, for example, only some official eyewitnesss evidences of His
revival.
But
before that, we should have some words about the background of this
event.
After Christs death someone called Joseph from Arimafei, Jews
city, who is kind and truthful, the member council came to Pilate,
the governor of Judeo and asked for Jesuss Body. To prove the
fact of his death Pilates doctor from Syria was sent. On Calvary he
found Jesus already dead, but just in case one of the soldiers
punched Jesus's side with a spear. After that the Body was removed,
embraced with a shroud and put into a coffin, that had been cut in a
rock where there wasnt anyone. The whole cohort of soldiers brought
a huge stone to a cover the coffin. Roman guards were on duty
round-the-clock: Romans were afraid of falsifications because as we
already know, the Christs revival for the third day had been
predicted already. On the night of revival more than 200 persons
came to a place of burial, where they were expecting a miracle.
Thirteen witnesses left descriptions of Christs revival. We give
only three of them.
Greek Gormizy, the biographer of Judeas governors, including Ponte
Pilate: We reached the coffin, we were in one hundred and fifty
steps from it, in faint light of early dawn we saw guards at the
coffin: two persons sat, the others laid on the ground near the
fire. It was very silent. We went slowly, guards who were going to
replace the previous one passed us. It became suddenly very bright.
We could not decide where this light was, but soon saw, that it came
from moving shining cloud: it lowered on coffin and there, above
ground appeared a person as though all consisted of light. Then
there was a thunderclap, but not from heavens, and on the ground.
From this terrible thunder guards jumped in horror, and then fell
During this moment the woman went down the path on the right. She
suddenly cried: Has opened! Has opened! Has opened!.. At the very
same time it became clear, that very big stone that covered coffin
rose by itself, opened the coffin. We were frightened a lot. After a
while light disappeared, and everything became as usual. When we
came to the coffin there was no body in it.
Doctor Eshu, under Pilates order, since evening before Sunday was
at the coffin with five assistants. He witnessed Christs burial: on
Saturday he twice examined the coffin, and in the evening, he went
there and should spend all night long there. At night they were
awake by turn. In the evening Eshus assistants went to bed, but in
the morning woke up and proceeded with their supervisions over.
All of us are doctors, guards and the others, - writes Eshu, - we
were healthy, vigorous and felt as usual: we did not have any
presentiments. We did not believe at all, that the dead can revive.
But he has really revived, and all of us saw it with our own
eyes.
Someone called Mifercant was one of the members of the Sinedrion,
the treasurer. From his hands Judas Iscariot received 30 silver
coins for Christs betrayal. He was near the coffin almost before
the moment of Christs Resurrection. He arrived here to pay guards
at the coffin When he paid money, he left, guards remained up to
the end of change But before Mifercant had time to leave the
enormous stone was rejected by an unknown force. He returned back to
the coffin, he still had time to see disappearing light above the
coffin. All of this was described in his work About governors of
Palestine which is one of the most valuable and truthful sources
from a history of Palestine.
For
people who assert, that Jesus Christ as yogi with the effort of
will stopped his breath and did not die at all, I shall show the
conclusion of experts about Christs condition, experts examined the
shroud He was wrapped in: Nasal bone is broken from the impact on
the left side, the left cheek is strongly swelled up - it touched
the shroud, and its print is much more stronger, than the right one.
From the left the body above a cheekbone is broken, and this side
edematic the Chin is outlined clearly, especially on the left. On
the right it has a stain from blood or deep wound. The image of
the person is asymmetric. This person suffered a lot, and his
features after death were unequally reduced. Also there are a lot of
traces from impacts and severe injuries. Shoulders are raised. The
breast has such form, as people who die from a suffocation
(physicians consider, that crucified people, died from the
suffocation - my comment) On a hand below wrist there is a big
stain from a wound. Wounds on foots are in the same places, as on
hands, and are of the same type . If even to remember about stab
what delay of breath it is possible to speak about?!
To
tell the truth, some people nevertheless believe, that a shroud is
not real as the radiocarbon analysis has shown that it is younger
than the described events. But, first, it was in on fire two times
(and the high temperature could affect the results of such
analysis). Second, if as a result of Christs death even dead rose
in coffins what can we tell about the piece of the canvas which were
wrapped up around His body. For certain, as well as in Kozirevs
experiments when frequency of quartz plates varied, and in this case
the structure of carbon isotopes in the shroud could change. And, at
last, thirdly, now some scientists in general have doubts about the
correctness of the chronology determining date of those events.
These researches tell that actually after Christs death could pass
just as many years as old is the shroud. So pro and con will always
be and probably, sceptics will receive the latest argument for
already after their death. But whether will it be too late already?
Not
to be late, authenticity and the importance of Jesus Christs
mission during many centuries proves to be true annually in a place
of His burial every Saturday, before the Day of His Revival (Easter
celebrated according to Julian calendar). This day in a temple of
Gods Coffin in Jerusalem with several thousand orthodox Christians
and representatives of other faiths there is a mysterious
convergence of Sacred Fire on Gods Coffin. At First on prayers
of the Patriarch of Jerusalem and all people around blue lightning
start to beat in space above cuvucle (chapel) from top-down and
bottom-up, and then little drops of some fiery beads scatter inside
cuvucle on a plate of the Sacred Coffin from which the Patriarch
lights candles up. I repeat, that this event occurs annually during
millennia and in recent years it is live on TV.
Lets finish here our deviation from the main topic, connected with
confirmation of authenticity Jesus Christs mission.
And
now nevertheless just to try to understand the mechanism of
mysterious influence of Christs mission on mankind providing
besides His death His subsequent revival, we shall consider one
more, probably last experience connected with the information
influence.
I
quote it from the book Physics of belief: In 1985 the group of
researchers of the Department of theoretical problems AN USSR under
P.P.Gariaev's management worked with the preparations received from
cellular nucleus, taken from chicken embryos. Scientists have not
dared to enter a genetic code of the person, as the basic device of
all living creatures is equal.
They destroyed nucleus, took the carrier of heredity DNA molecules
and examined them. Scientists tried to solve the secret of life
programming: how two microscopic sets of chromosomes from male and
female gametes "supervise" the creation of biological system.
Nucleus were lit up with a lasers beam. Light disappeared when
reflected from them. Its spectrum was measured by high-sensitivity
devices and scientists received spectral pictures. Because of the
light dispersion spectrum it was possible to think about the sounds
from nucleus. In fact they make oscillatory movements which give
rise to acoustic waves. But the same movements cause the play of
reflected light. Therefore sound spectra and light spectra agree
with each other. Figuratively speaking, under influence of the laser
nucleus they not only dance, but also sing. And the spectrometer can
write down their "concert" on the original video recorder.
When the spectrum of dispersion were taken from the intact nucleus,
they sang a hymn of life on low frequencies. But when nucleus
were under adverse influences (laser), the genetic device started
to squeal shrilly in a ultrasonic range, as if it sent SOS
signals.
These shouts began during the heating of nucleus. At temperature
from 40 up to 42 degrees they "complained", that they felt very
bad. And at the further heating liquid crystals on which hereditary
DNA information is written down fused. The programs of the organism
development were erased in them. The only thing that was left from
heredity molecules, sounded as a dead matter: instead of harmony of
sounds - chaos of sounds.
Somehow scientists casually have measured a spectrum of an "empty"
place where was a DBA preparation before, and now it was pure
cuvette. They were surprised when the laser beam has dissipated as
if has encountered an invisible barrier. It has appeared such
spectrum as if in "empty" space there still were perishing DNA
molecules. The "empty" place not only disseminated light, but also
sounded, as if DNA molecules which were not there, made themselves
heard. They "were very excited", and as scientists told, they
shouted from pain and horror which were caused by cellular nucleus
destruction.
Cuvette section was carefully washed out and experiment have been
repeated. Emptiness still "sobbed", as though it was full of dying
nucleus.
Sound and light effects did not disappear during many days. It
seemed, that some death phantom got stuck into cuvette section.
Long-term and versatile researches have allowed scientists to
understand and to explain an event.
During nucleus fusion (violent death) energetic and informational
explosion happens, it generates a wave energy clot torsion field
(? - My question). Spins of physical vacuum elements (?
-
My question) in the cuvette are guided by spins of this powerful
field created by perishing nucleus, repeating its structure. The
phantom is formed, it is kept long enough and is attached to the
place of destruction.
The
spectrometer registered the phantom exactly 40 days after this
period of time commemoration for the dead is made. Then dense
capsules of the phantom break up, and only rarefied are left they
consist of extralight particles, more sensitive devices are required
to register them.
Similar results have been received by the American physicists under
the direction of Robert Pekora in 1990 and the Japanese scientists
under the direction of professor Jamamoto in 1992.
Careful researches of phantoms properties that were formed as a
result of destruction of a cells heredity, have led to the
sensational conclusions.
First of all scientists have checked the phantom on biological
activity. They have placed suspension of the fresh, not destroyed
nucleus into the empty cuvette with the phantom. Their DNA have
started to act as fused. They began "to squeal", as if they were
being murdered. The healthy nucleus got the same spectrum as the
perishing. It meant, that the phantom was biologically active. It
can damage field protection of the healthy molecules (?
-
My
question) influence the genetic programs written down in them
Scientists have gone further in their researches and have found out,
that there is an energetic informational explosion during murder:
the phantom of a genetic device separates from the person. It
damages the genetic device of the murderer, causes serious
psychosomatic disorders. If he will not be ill, he will face madness
and suicide. Not in vain F.M.Dostoevsky approved, that the murderer
started to receive punishment at the moment of a crime.
But
it appears, that the murderer dooms all his kin to degeneration. His
damaged genetic device produces people like him. Descendants
of the murderer will be ill, become an inveterate drunkard, be mad,
commit suicide because of reasons, "unknown" to sciences.
(the End of the quotation).
Questions in brackets are placed because in the given text I
personally would give an explanation that is close to the concept of
a wave origin of a matter.
For example, the idea of torsion fields has received its further
development when rotary coordinates were added into mathematical
model of space; without them the description and registration of
these imperceptible fields in the given model were not possible. But
in the second chapter we already told that rotary coordinates are
necessary to describe the process of matter creation from
electromagnetic waves of the light band. And, as we remember, this
process is made by the force of twisting wave packets of photons
into elementary particles. I think that it is not useful to
assert that this process occurs under influence of torsion fields or
that the received elementary particles are the sources of such
fields and at the same time not to show the mechanism of elementary
particles occurrence from the waves "twisted" by such fields. So the
term physical vacuum as some virtual source of the matter can be
only author's interpretation of one of the objectively existing
reality concept (in our description light is such a source). Because
these terms were not used in the given work, I have paid readers
attention that way. I have underlined the words in the given
quotation.
In
this experiment it was necessary to pay attention that laser
influence itself as a source of coherent monochromatic wave
radiation, causes fixing a steady interference figure with record of
emotions of perishing DNA molecules in space, and in this case it is
possible to think that it is the hologram of perishing molecules. So
the first conclusion is that the record of wave holograms of the
living objects is possible in space and without specially created
material carrier.
Taking into account, that according to P.Gariaev's conclusions the
information on material structures of an organism, necessary for
its development, is ciphered in holograms, then it is possible to
make the second conclusion - the phantom created in space also
should have ability to render wave information influence on living
healthy molecules when he replaces their information model with
information model of perishing molecules, because he (phantom) is
the hologram. Therefore there is nothing surprising that in the
described experiment such information influence was rendered on the
living molecules, and it led to their destruction.
And
the third conclusion: taking into account that in the living
material organism the holograms necessary for its life are created
with the use of biological lasers, then it means, after death of the
body they can spontaneously, without additional processing of the
artificial laser, be kept in space. As a matter of fact in all its
set these holograms should make wave information model of the
person.
So
the wave phantom (wave information model) that appeared after
persons death, by analogy with destroyed DNA molecules, should be
also biologically active and also can affect alive people.
This luminous wave phantom in the form of Jesus Christ's body
witnesses of His revival observed in the early morning at His burial
place. (We shall not forget about the wave nature of a matter -
..).
The kind of influence this phantom
should render on mankind should be defined by the information
program in it. The program incorporated in the first person Adam, as
we know, was damaged. In Jesus Christ, at His conception by the Holy
Spirit in a womb of Virgin Maria, there was another program, capable
to correct the damages in Adams program. During Christs earthly
life this program had been tested, adapted to a real earthly life
and stood all tests. Jesus Christs behaviour is an indirect
confirmation of this; in fact He, even being crucified, continued to
love people and prayed for his torturers: Father, forgive them, for
they do not know what they are doing
(Luke 23/34). It has been told absolutely sincerely, researchers of
the shroud prove it, there is obvious discrepancy between Jesus's
pacified look on it and the character of the tortures He suffered
from.
After the end of Christs mission this informational wave image of a
new person who loves people, shows his non-susceptibility, ability
to eternal and almighty existence to numerous witnesses, he has
risen up and has disappeared in a shining cloud in their presence,
becomes a component of the creative program of the universe because
of Gods will, who initiates his creation.
From that moment, each person who
lives on earth, if he/she has faith, love and desire, can try to use
this wave image created that way and update the informational - wave
program he/she had got from Adam. In result there should be some
kind of internal regeneration of the "old" that is unstable in human
lifes trials into the "new" that is able to resist all temptations
to continue earthly life according to Gods tables. An Old person
should "die", and give place to a "new" person. This is how the
spiritual regeneration of the person into Christ should be, and at
the same time the spiritual updating of mankind. Therefore in the
Gospel from Luke it is said, that at Jesus Christ's birth Suddenly
a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace to men on whom his favor rests
(chp.2/13,14.) To tell the truth, because there is not enough faith
in God this process passes with a scratch, as we can see incessant
confrontations on earth.
But
how should the process of a persons transformation be done in
practice?
From S.Zenin's experiments we already know, that water is able to
perceive wave information. So, water can become the original
intermediary in transfer of the wave information from God to the
person. In fact the person almost completely consists of water. And
if water in a human body makes contact with the water that contains
the information about Christ, the informational - wave image of
Christ can be embodied in the person and he/she will have an
opportunity to change the behaviour according to this new image
which appeared inside.
For
the first time the person receives such contact with the wave image
of Christ with the help of water in sacrament of christening when
he/she is put into the water prepared with the help of prayer, the
water is full of such information. So he/she receives the seed of
the new person and if there is constant care, it can give a worthy
fruit or grow stunted. In any case after that sacrament, it
doesnt matter what can happen with the person, where he is, the
information about him/her will be constantly reflected in water (as
in the experiment with the stolen purse), and due to this it will
be constantly kept in the uniform information bank of the Founder.
Thus this person appears in a certain Book of Life.
An opportunity to make the next
step to his/her moral evolution each believer receives in the
sacrament of the Eucharist (communion). The essence of this
sacrament is allegorically shown by Christs words to Israelis: I
tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am
the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert,
yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from
heaven, which a man may eat and not die. I am the living
bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread,
he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me
and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will
live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven.
Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread
will live forever.. ( John, 6/47-51 56-58). In these words in the
allegoric form Jesus Christ shows the way of persons rescue by
means of His sacrifice on the cross as we have already described it,
and he emphasizes, that in this case peoples rescue is made with
the help of the Holy Spirit. He speaks about it with the pupils to
dispel their bewilderment about the words He said The Spirit gives
life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you
are spirit and they are life
(the same place, 6/63). He once again lets them know, that His flesh
and blood mean an influence of the Holy Spirit that contains the
information about Him. From the experiments with cellular nucleus of
chicken embryos we already know, how such information could appear:
to create it, Jesus Christ had to die! (Once again I repeat,
that here is the reason of His voluntary death on the cross, and it
was done to change human nature and to release him from Adams
original sin). In the sacrament of the Eucharist, this redeemed
information is united with the person, this information is installed
in bread and wine because of priests prayer and believers,
bread and wine personify in this case the body and blood of the
Christ.
In
general, under the doctrine of Christian Orthodox Church Jesus
Christ has put the seven sacraments into the basis of Church, these
sacraments somehow promote internal transfiguration of the person.
Besides sacraments of the Christening and Eucharist (communion),
there are also sacraments Anointing, Penance, Sacrament of
Marriage(Wedding), Extreme unction and Sacrament of Priesthood.
All
these Sacraments are directed, that with the help of the Word and
the Holy Spirits influence to change the person, or in other words,
to make the organism apprehend the new information program. For its
successful perception influence of the Holy Spirit on the person
should be long enough and continuous. In real life, however, the
person goes to the temple only incidentally, and his/her head is
constantly full of daily routines. Therefore, if the person comes to
the church and gets the Lord's Supper, each time he/she starts
process of the internal transfiguration almost from the beginning.
It is hard to get a steady effect this way. Not in vain one of the
laws orders the person to work six days, and each seventh day to
devote to God.
In
Emoto Masarus experiments with water to change its structure, all
night long without a break wrote down the information in itself, the
information was designated by a word, written on the water jar. As
the organism of the person on 70-80% consists of water there is a
question, and whether is it possible to make something like that
with the person? For example to write the necessary word on him/her
which will promote his/her transfiguration... However, instead of
the written word baptized Christian wears underclothes cross with
the crucifixion as the reminder of Christ. And if the person really
constantly remembers the Christ, has His image in the consciousness,
this image can be the word on water jar. This conclusion demands an
additional explanation.
Due
to the holographic structure of a human brain, that on 90 % consists
of water, all ideas and the images in persons consciousness, are
somehow reflected in the hologram of his/her brain. So they become
the part of the information that contains in it. But this
information manages both the condition of an organism and persons
behavior, according to this information he/she is arranged and
functions as a living creature. So here is the most important part
of the informational - wave image of each person his/her
functional and behavioral "draft". And this is the mechanism of
aspect that changes persons love for Christ. For it turns out so,
that if the person loves someone, constantly thinks of love object
and has its image in his/her consciousness, this image with all its
mental functions through the brain hologram becomes a component of
that information that is directly embodied in a way of life and
behavior of the given person. In result some deeply believing people
become look like the image of Christ on icons they pray before. They
gradually start to think and perceive the life in another way - they
transfigure and become other people.
Due to holographic structure of
a human brain the love to Christ and belief in His divinity become
an effective force, that is capable to transfigure the person in a
new creature.
So with the help of Jesus Christ God fulfils the promise given to
people through prophet Ezekeil:
And
I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be
careful to keep my laws.
And due to such brain device the person receives an opportunity
to render reformatory information influence on the world. And as
this process is carried out through consciousness of the living
person it becomes clear, that ideas play a great role. To tell the
truth, taking into account, that mass media and mass culture
function under market laws, it is easy to imagine what ideas they
want people have and haw such their actions correspond to process of
creation. But we shall not distract.
Thus, due to Jesus Christ's
mission there is a moral evolution of each person and he/she if
desires can become spiritual: So it is written: "The first man
Adam became a living being; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The
spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the
spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second
man from heaven
(1 Corinthians, 15/45-47). So as a matter of fact God repeatedly
creates the person (a life-giving spirit) through Jesus Christ,
but now the person takes part in it voluntarily In fact the
creation of the first person has been connected to Adams creation
it followed the information program created by divine consciousness,
and now, for the second persons creation the consciousness of the
person (like in Chernetskys experiments or experiments with wheat)
is used. Making this process, the person actually realizes his/her
divine nature, he/she is again convinced, that like Christ he/she is
spirit life-giving, who with his/her consciousness is capable to
influence both him/herself and the world around. And not everyone
can do it in practice but only the one who is ready - is ready
because has believed in God and Christs mission and consequently
during the prayer does not doubt in its success. Is ready because
when he/she has known Christ has grown fond of Him, when he/she has
realized the sacrifice Jesus has done for the sake of his/her rescue
and due to this he/she "has installed" His image in him/herself with
the help of love, so he/she could change into Christ. So, if such
person can believe and love, for him/her process of transfiguration
by means of Jesus Christ's death becomes effective. Otherwise, if
there is no such faith and love, he/she will not want to spend time
on this, prefer to do something else. And in fact this
transfiguration demands special attitude to it, it cannot be done
only mechanically, following some certain technique as during
meditation lessons: make pose, detain breath, etc. I repeat:
without love to Christ, without faith in him transfiguration of the
person is impossible. The role of faith and love that reflects
persons moral degree of readiness to transfigure, is visible from
words: But not spiritual, but sincere, then spiritual. So the
callous person, or otherwise the one who has remained indifferent to
Christs feat, first, cannot, and second, and will not make such
transfiguration. There is some kind of a moral barrier, or even, in
other words, a filter for chosen selection. And, probably, for this
reason it was forbidden to the first people to eat fruits from the
tree of knowledge of goods and evil. Because without preliminary
work on themselves people should not become as the gods knowing
evil and good the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This process
should proceed through his/her moral development, possible only
during successful overcoming real tests of he earthy life.
The
role of faith consists in this process, I repeat, in that force of
faith allows images in persons consciousness penetrate his/her
subconsciousness, and, due to holographic brain structure, to become
a component of the wave information, that manages the given person
and those events of earthy life that his/her emotional,
strong-willed, moral and intellectual efforts want to overcome
with the whole soul, the whole strength
and understanding.
Thus, with the help of the pray
the person has voluntary begun the transfiguration process, then
he/she receives the counter help. Because in process of his/her
transfiguration this process gets the features of chain reaction
when the spent prayer efforts give result that surpasses these
effort more and more. And consequently action of a prayer each time
becomes more and more significant. The main condition to preserve
and increase the achieved effect is the continuity and necessary
duration of prayer process.
I speak about the pray as the most
necessary and most effective mean of persons transfiguration
because even Sacrament of Eucharist cannot be made without a
preliminary pray. As a matter of fact, his/her love to God the
person cannot express differently, but only in a sensual pray (if to
mean feelings, instead of deeds of the person, as a way to express
love). And the continuous pray is made because the person wants it
and in a place he/she wants, can fill in a pause between his/her
visiting of the temple when he/she comes there to take part in
various Sacraments. That each person has an opportunity to pray not
only in a man-made temple, but also everywhere, it is proved by
Christs words from His conversation with Samaritan near the well:
a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this
mountain nor in Jerusalem. Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and
truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is
spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
(John,
4/21,23,24).
However, if to continue conversation about an opportunity to pray
continuously there is a question: and is it basically possible?
This theme also demands the special explanation.
The
matter is that in the environment of orthodox Christians there is a
practice of a continuous pray. The question is about so-called
Jesus prayer.
Basically, constant staying of the person in a condition of
love to God is, I think, a sufficient condition for his/her
transfiguration. The main thing here is that the person should
constantly remembered and think about God, constantly has His
image in his/her consciousness. But as daily routine make us forget
about everything, such pray appears in the nick of time- it helps us
compensate the lack of attention to God.
The
prayer in general is a natural mean of persons connection with God
because its success and its current is provided by the Holy Spirit
action. As it has already been told, prayers strength and feeling
directly depend on a degree of faith. Without a preliminary pray -
and, more precisely, without the Gods help, the person cannot
successfully make any useful affair. Here is archimandrite Rafails
(Karelin) opinion about the prayers essence: The prayer is not an
informing of God about our needs. The pray is a condition when
Gods strength can touch our spirit and operate in us. God
is almighty and also knows us better, than we. All pray with
persons soul are the same as with lifeless cells, for example, at a
gangrene when blood does not reach them and they perish and are torn
away from the living organism. Therefore the person in religious
sense is alive only when he prays (is underlined and allocated
by me - .. P.S. Positive influence of a pray on all living things
is possible to confirm with the above described experiment with dead
grains of wheat which came to life under its influence). If the
person making kind thing or even engaged in theological problems,
for a long time leaves the pray, he/she loses internal communication
with God. Such person dies spiritually. Regretfully I can admit,
that on my own experience I was partly convinced that these words
were true.
There is a special conversation about Jesus prayer. The first to
practice was making of a clever prayer (sometimes it is called so)
there were ascetics - eremites, hermits lived in 4 century (for
example, Evargy Pontisky, Makary Egyptian).Then for long time it
was almost completely consigned to oblivion, and its revival is
connected to the name of afonsky monk Gregory Palama (1286-1359) -
the Byzantine seminary student, one of ideologists hesychiasm (from
Greek Hesychia - internal calmness, detachment) - doctrines about
the expiration of the divine light appeared during Jesus Christs
transfiguration on mountain Favor and perceived by righteous persons
awarded with good fortune. Contemplation is a necessary condition to
percept this divine light, besides just way of life, a quiet
concentration on Jesus Christ's name which would distract
thoughts from all surrounding. Gregory Palama's doctrine is
considered an official true orthodox doctrine.
In
such pray hesychast already during his life achieves full connection
with God, so Christ is installed in the person and the person is
deify. The most known and "fresh" example of such deification is
Saint Serafim Sarovsky's prayer feat, centenary of his relics
finding was celebrated by Russian Orthodox Church on August 1, 2003
(for more details see the description of this Saints life).
At first sight in many respects
technique of Jesus pray is similar to the meditation technique used
in psychic practics of various philosophical or religious doctrines
(in yoga, in transcendental meditation, in Dao De Czin doctrine,
for example). The similarity is the following during meditation the
person also concentrates the attention to some word, or on some
image, process, sensation. In meditation such word is so-called
"mantra" is the certain word that has no obvious sense which
distracts the person from extraneous ideas and releases his/her
consciousness for information from without. (the word "mantra" in
Sanskrit means an idea that can cause the certain effects). In Jesus
pray (My God Jesus Christ, Gods Son, forgive me sinner that I am)
instead of a mantra Jesus Christ's name is used, Who came to people
to help them unite with God. Therefore this Name is some kind of
key for the whole information stipulated by God to penetrate human
brain(an informational - wave image of Christ), the information is
necessary to transfigure from slave like Adam, into Gods son like
Christ. In such pray if to make it constantly, the person like
grains of wheat, is restored up to the originally conceived godlike
condition.
Basic point for religious
understanding of Jesus prayer capacity is Christs phrase: The
kingdom of God is within you. (Luke chp.17/21).
There is a lot of information about prayer practice of saints,
achieved practical perfection in Jesus pray. We shall tell that in
Saint Serafim Sarovsky's Lecture about Jesus prayer it is spoken
about already known necessity to make it practically continuously
and the separate recommendation is, for example, to hold one's
breath. But it is necessary to understand, that such recommendations
have appeared as consequence of saints prayer practice who have
already achieved desirable result. Therefore the natural delay of
breath should be perceived by beginners more likely as consequence
of a correct course of pray, instead of an artificial condition of
its realization. From experience of saints there is an impression
that the person begins this pray with the realized effort above
oneself, and after some time this pray starts to influence the
person salutary from within, directing his/her efforts in the
necessary way. However, it is not necessary to perceive, these lines
as recommendation to action. Interested people should better look at
primary sources and ask for suggestions from skilled experts. And in
any case to start this prayer it is necessary to expect only Gods
help.
In
general, existence of saints proves a real opportunity of the
persons transfiguration from within with the help of the Holy
Spirit into a godlike creature during the earthy life. But these
facts, unfortunately - more likely an exception to the rules, than
norm. In fact the usual person thinks, that he/she cannot depart
from life as the monk and pray without a break, locked up in a
cell. Here all depends on how the person in general understands
essence of the pray. Because if to understand it how prelate Feofan
the Hermit did, it is possible. Here his point of view: Reading
prays, standing on a pray and bows are only prayer condition, and
the prayer, actually, goes from the heart. When there
is not this pray there is not any. A prayer without feelings is
a dead fetus. Feeling to God and without words is the pray (we
shall remember about the importance of love - ..). The whole
prayers are made to nourish feelings, - if they dont they are in
vain. Feelings cannot replace any nutritious works. A cry from
heart, brief and strong, is important! And it is possible to do only
during the prayer. And, hence, it is necessary to pray
incessantly (the Orthodox calendar for 2003, Saint Petersburg,
publishing house "Trigon", article the Pray is a breath of
life).
As
it, maybe, strange but the statement of prelate Feofan there are
recommendations for usual people how to find a way to God, not
leaving to a monastery. In fact alongside with the opportunity to
pray incessantly described above, the usual person, as well as the
monk can find not less, and even more occasions for obedience in
daily life. It is enough in every situation to live honestly, not to
offend and deceive people. Because everybody knows, what efforts
above oneself it is necessary to make to follow this requirement in
a real life. Of course to leave real life and go somewhere to desert
or to the monastery to save ones soul it is a feat the worthies
all praise. The history of church knows magnificent examples of
peoples spiritual transfiguration, people who were dedicated to
this. But what should other people do- billions who rush daily
between house and work, try to find some sense in all this
vanity?... And so, in my opinion such real life in all its variety
with all its problems and successes also is given to the person
that he/she by means of belief in Christ during this life has
learned to overcome all its difficulties and temptations, and in
this constant overcoming with Gods help the person would
tower above oneself, become mature morally.
The
necessity to take into account a reality of life in modern
community, no matter how alien it would seem to somebody, is actual
not only for the individual person, but also for the whole states.
Thus it is necessary to remember, that the state is one thing, and
the church is another. For if there is some "state - monk" which
will become isolated in itself, try at any cost to keep the imagined
or original sanctity, neglect achievements of technical progress (as
it was with cybernetics in the USSR) it cannot survive in an
environment of more pragmatic neighbors. The state has one problems,
and church - other.
The task of the person who
lives in this or that state, is not to escape from temptations and
requirements of the real life. For, even being the monk it is
possible to appear under influence of temptations, and these
temptations can be not smaller than in the world . All depends on
the person, on ideas in his head. And the way to solve this problem
is identical both for the monk, and the usual person and, this way
is that by means of belief in God and only with Gods help to
learn to overcome these temptations,
getting some kind of immunity before immorality. Prelate Tihon
Zadonsky spoke about rules of life in such real world: To sin is
a human doing, but to be and lay in a sin devils. The main thing
in any situation is to find strength in oneself to rise above
circumstances, not to allow moral falling. Approximately about
this, but in other words, prelate John Zlatoust known to all
Christian world spoke : Not our sins irritate God, but our
unwillingness to change. Moscow metropolitan Filaret agreed with
him: To be a sinner is the general misfortune; to remain in sins
- is the fault and trouble. Belief in God teaches the ability to
rise in case of moral falling. And consequently the modern person
doesnt need to hide a head in sand when problems increase in the
society, the person should realize the whole completeness of the
contradictions incorporated in peripetias of the modern life and
search and find ways to overcoming these problems, and understand
what exactly their successful overcoming promotes moral development
of human soul. The person who can stand all tests in his/her life is
the original winner. In fact without tests there is no spiritual
growth! And the role of church with its sermons of faith and love
should be predominating in this process. As conscience for the
individual person so the church for the whole society in these
complex modern conditions should rescue peoples souls. Because at
the same time person has corporal and spiritual, and people for
joint residing create both the state and church which functions are
various, but both are necessary for peoples life. Actually activity
of church in this or that state is found out not in quantity and
grandeur of temples (it though also is important, but secondary
factor), but in the condition of peoples souls that living in it,
in fact not gold consecrates a temple. Therefore the church is
separated from the state or not separated, its function to keep
morals in society by means of the sermon about true believe in God
among people is not cancel, as is told: Consequently, faith comes
from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word
of Christ (Romans, 10/17). The person in fact, especially young,
wont come to church by him/herself. To get the desire to come
there, he should receive the primary information on God somewhere.
In this connection all disputes in a society about necessity or
impossibility to teaching disciplines at school that gives necessary
information to realize and percept God (the way young people can
apprehend and understand it) are from the Evil one. In conditions
of modern democracy access to objective and a trustworthy
information in a question of the realized choice of religion is
especially important for young people to form their own outlook. And
diligent professionals should do it instead of layman or especially
some swindlers. In relation to children their parents could do it,
but, unfortunately the majority of present parents in due time did
not have such education. Thus it is necessary to take into account,
that the new generation grows not in vacuum, in fact " holy place
cant be empty ", and if modern youth doesnt get necessary
information, the only thing left to it is to follow "Pepsi"
advertisement and according to such ideology learn to take more
from life. In this case in future this country cannot be named
Russia, because "youve got what you deserve".
Now
again we shall return to Jesus pray.
In
essence Jesus pray in general is not the pray, but an original way
of persons union with God in prayer ecstasy that is stimulated by
sincere belief and love. Speaking about role of love in the pray, I
think it is necessary to remind Paicy Afonskys words: Do you wont
your pray becomes intimate and heard by God? Make suffering of the
fellow creature your own suffering. Even one intimate lamentation
about the fellow creature bears the fruits.
During Jesus pray the person by means of the Holy Spirit actually
changes into the object of his/her love. And though such
transfiguration is made under Gods influence, human efforts I am
speaking about, play not a smaller role in this as according to
Saint Isaac Sirin how the person comes to God, the same way God
comes to him with His gifts (see Christian life of kind loving).
Therefore before the process of transformation there should be
persons remorse in his/her sins. Such repentance to clear oneself
before transfiguration by the Holy Spirit is made on demand of God
since John the Baptists (Forerunner) times. Thus it should not turn
into a certain confession process which should last all human life
(though nobody forbids it): the repentance, in my opinion, should
be perceived by the person as the single act that makes him
completely rethink the whole life to dismiss sin and to begin new
life. In this case it promotes regeneration of the person. And so it
was with apostle Peter who gave up Christ for three times but has
suddenly realized, what he had done and in horror from what he had
done began to sob bitterly. After such repentance he became
absolutely new person fearlessly preaching Christ everywhere.
And repenting constantly in the
same offences, the person gets used to this, as to daily tooth
cleaning, supposes in the future the can be repeated. And though
God because of weak guilty human nature is ready to forgive the
person again and again, but each time effectiveness of such
repentance valued more and more. To repent
of the sins is necessary as if you do it last time in your life
then after the second, the third time God will give strength to
resist sin.
People who Accepted The Holy Spirit in themselves form Christs
Church Which is based on the mutual love, the community of people
incorporated by the Holy Spirit.
Thus it is necessary to remember, that besides unifying function of
people which have already come to God Church has an educational
function, because it as the existing human community where the Holy
Spirit live in, is a material embodiment of Gods will mechanism.
Because people who live now on Earth have not seen a living image
of Christ and His apostolic Church is the only real institute of
realization and continuation of His mission on Earth Therefore in
Church the person should receive an opportunity to study not only
how to behave correctly in the temple, how to fold fingers to make
the sign of the cross, but also that through the priests sermon,
through reading the Bible and acquaintance with Christians
spiritual life, through Sacraments of Church to learn the truth and
get grace of the Holy Spirit. Saint John Kronshtadtsky spoke about
this role of Church: The saint Church is the carrier, teacher and
giver of this heavenly world to people. It with the help of the
given Gods grace, Gods word, divine service and Sacraments tames
all passions of its true children, makes strange updating in them,
grants them strength to beat all charm and violence of the sins
struggling in our members, and the firm, unshakeable world (the
Orthodox church calendar, July, 24 2005). Therefore believers are
obliged to behave in church as though they are in heaven. In this
place, like heaven, every persons flesh should be silent.
As saint Isaac Sirin has told conversation is the instrument of the
sinful world, and silence is secret of the next century (from
lectures of archbishop Kherson and Odessa Sergy). Thus, the Church
should teach and accustom the person pray constantly.
I
would lie if I dont mention that something like hesychiasm in
Orthodoxy is in Islam with the big clauses. This phenomenon is
called suffism. Now among scientists there is the point of view that
the Arabian word "at-tasaffuf" the term suffism came from, occurs
from the Arabian word "suf" - wool as hair shirt, the rough woollen
attire was usual attribute of the ascetic - eremite, hermit. It is
possible, that before occurrence of Islam Christian monks and
mystic-ascetics were called suffiy in the Middle East... Sources of
suffism are traced in the 7 century, but at the beginning it was
rejected by orthodox Moslems and were rehabilitated only in the
10-11 centuries when under the influence of the Islamic theologian
Al Gazal the life true suffiy was proclaimed the supreme expression
of an Islamic way of life. Suffiy aspires to his internal
transformation by connection with God in act of mystical love that
as a result to become His expression in a material world. (On
materials in the Internet "behigh.org", article Molecules of
mysticism and transcendentation). Jesus Christ was such person,
Who came to people as he has life in himsel to create an
information - wave image of the new idolised loving person and give
it to all people who believe in Him for such worshipping Another
thing if people have taken advantage of this opportunity or not. In
fact the person at is not the Christian at all if he/she wears cross
and sometimes visits temple, and is not trying to unite with Christ
with the help of faith, love and pray, remains malicious and callous
person who is not knowing and not loving Christ and people in real
life.
In
turn Moslems, deny Jesus Christ's divine origin, try to achieve
result in general without His help. As against the majority of
modern Christians they are more disciplined in prayer rules: pray
five times a day, every Friday they gather in a mosque for a
collective pray but I cant judge how close they are to God.
Both Judaism and Christianity and Islam assert that these religions
appeared with Gods direct participation and consequently each of
them asserts that it has truth at ultimate authority.
However in none of these religions
Gods tables are realised completely - practice of real life
testifies it. Apostle James said very perspicacious about such
conventional attitude to belief :
"You
believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe
thatand shudder. You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith
without deeds is useless?"
(James 2/19-20). Deeds testify that the distance of the different
religions representatives between declared belief and practical
actions is indefinitely huge. People argue about advantages of their
belief, in the majority understands its essence only formally and
consequently at best, in practical life they observe church
instructions and rules only formally. Therefore the valid
distinction between representatives of various religions is not how
they called themselves but which way they go to God to become a
single whole with Him.
In Christianity, I repeat, this
opportunity is given to the person through Jesus Christ. Apostle
Paul said so about it: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus
is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved, Everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved (Romans, 10/9,13). Jesus Christ didnt refer to
another's certificates He said: I am the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
(John, chp.14/6). His deed proved the validity of these, the things
he did among people and His pupils deeds made in His name. We, with
logic of the limited mind during the previous reasoning have tried
to find a rational explanation for this.
I
do not exclude completely that the problem of moral or in other
words spiritual evolution of the person besides Christianity has the
positive decision in other religions. I am insufficiently competent
to judge. But I am sure, that love to people is the main criterion
of the valid spiritual transfiguration of the person and acceptance
of the Holy Spirit. The sincere love to people is the certificate
of the Holy Spirits seal on the person. For if there is no
love to Gods creation, that means, there is no love to God. And if
there is no love to God, means there is no His Spirit, means there
were no internal transfiguration of the person - he has remained
morally underdeveloped, as Cain. Because Gods Spirit is a Spirit of
love the whole universe is made with. Saint Serafim Sarovsky whom
this Spirit was installed in testified: My pleasure, I beg you,
give us the Spirit and then thousand souls will be rescued around
you.
Here is apostle Paul spoke about
role of love: If I speak in the tongues of men and of
angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging
cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries
and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain
nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does
not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does
not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are
tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will
pass away
(1 Corinthians, chp.13/1-8).
From here follows, that Christ is a personified love. In the
given concrete case it is the personified Gods love to people. And
when Christs Spirit or His information - wave image, is installed
into the person, the person also becomes a loving creature and
starts to treat God and people with love. It also means his/her
internal regeneration into a spiritual creature.
The true love is impossible
without sacrifice, when the person with real deeds (not words only),
doesnt care about his/her own inconveniences and losses, endows the
well-being and calmness to help fellow creature. There is no bigger
love as when somebody gives his soul for his/her friends. The
sacrifice because of love is that "irreversible" (Kozirev) action
which turns on the feedback that reacts to balance infringement
between the information prototype and material world, and due to
this it restores harmony in the world (just as it was in the example
with a slap in the face), makes it function as morally dependent
self control system.
Thus it turns out, that the love actually is the effective force, is
capable to transform and rescue this world. This conclusion can be
especially significant to organise self control system of a human
society in practice. Though now it is not so important. Because we
have understood another thing: the person means much more, than we
can imagine, and ahead he/she has another life the Creator had
prepared for him/her.
For
now on earth until people have opportunity to continue the process
of the moral making successfully, this world will still be necessary
to God and consequently continues to exist. How long? I do not know.
Most likely, before this function is kept in it (self-control
concept should promote it, I hope).
If
everything, that is written about Christs mission is true, then He
should know about it, otherwise He could not do it. Are there any
written proofs of it in the Gospel? If yes, they can be indirect
confirmation that our conclusions are correct.
In conversation with Pharisees
Jesus Christ once has explained to them the purpose of His mission:
But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners
(Mathew , 9/13).
It
is possible to see, that to start Jesus Christs mission God was
really dissatisfied that people observed the law formally, they
thought they were righteous people, but actually they were sinners.
These people formally observe the law, actually created lawlessness,
then they make sin offering according to the law for the sins. God
wanted to soften their hearts that in their relations with
associates they were guided not by formal observance of the law,
but feeling of compassion. So they observed this moral law because
of mercy, instead of under compulsion. But to act so, they
should regenerate completely inside.
And Jesus Christs
words about the means the purpose His mission could be achieved
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the
ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it
produces many seeds. (John, chp.12).
It is about a way of an information - wave image of the new person
creation with the help of His sacrifice on cross! And this plan
Jesus Christ followed, existed beforehand: The reason my Father
loves me is that I lay down my lifeonly to take it up again. No one
takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have
authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This
command I received from my Father (John, chp.10). And further
in chapter 16 He once again confirmed, that His death was a
necessary condition to create a mean to correct the human kind:
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. But I
tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away.
Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I
will send him to you . (This Counselor touched apostles as
tongues of flame the fiftieth day after His Revival. Now Orthodox
celebrate this day as Whitsunday. From this day apostles became
other people: they have got ability to create miracles in the name
of Jesus Christ, and could preach His doctrine among peoples on
their native languages - a comment. ..). And finishing his speech
He added: I have much more to say to you, more than you can now
bear.
"To bear" this is really
difficult. In fact many people cannot explain, for example, such
Christs words: I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I
wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and
how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to
bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on
there will be five in one family divided against each other, three
against two and two against three. They will be divided, father
against son and son against father, mother against daughter and
daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and
daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
( Luke 12/49-53). These words really cause many questions. But in
view of the suggested concept we should talk here about persons
transfiguration with the help of the Holy Spirit then such person
cannot lead former life any more and conflicts with his/her
relatives who have not gone through such transfiguration. And, as it
has been told already, substantially persons transfiguration
depends on him/her, whether he has believed in God and loves Him.
Depending on this voluntary choice there is division between people
irrespective of a degree of their relationship.
Christ didnt have an opportunity
to inform people that they could not "bear" yet, He knew he did not
have enough time to live among them He told them with a simple
appeal to believe Him and to act how He says: On the last and
greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If
anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever
believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of
living water will flow from within him. By this he meant the
Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.
Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had
not yet been glorified.
(John, chp.7/37-39). (We have known how the Holy Spirit Sacred
influence from Emoto Masarus experiments - water becomes alive
under the influence of dead people names died who had received Gods
blessing).
And John the Baptist spoke about
Jesus Christ not in vain: I baptize you with water, but
he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." (Mark, chp.1/8). John
the Baptist confirmed His mission (to create the new information
program for persons updating by means of his own death on cross)
with such words: I would not have known him, except that the one
who sent me to baptize with water told me, The man on whom you see
the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the
Holy Spirit. (John, chp.1/33). This Christs mission was
confirmed by apostle Peter: Peter replied, "Repent and be
baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit. (Acts, chp.2/38). After he cured person lame from birth
at the doors of the Jerusalem temple, apostle Peter explained to
Israelis that he made it in the name of Jesus Christ: Salvation
is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to men by which we must be saved
(the same place, chp.4/12).
Therefore, I repeat, any other prophet or the teacher of mankind
cant do something like that if he was not sent by the Heavenly
Father to do it.
Unfortunately, descendants of those people the environment Jesus
Christ came to this world from, in the majority do not recognise
Him. Probably, and after the defeat of Bar-Cohbas revolt they
continue to wait for new Messiah an earthly tsar who, in their
opinion against Jesus Christ with His "insipid" sermons of love to
the fellow creature, will lead Israel to "promised" world supremacy.
Jesus Christ taught them how to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven, but
they dreamed of the kingdom of earth. However practically right
after Jesus Christ's death according to His prophecy the Israeli
state stopped its existence, Jerusalem and the temple were
destroyed, and Jews were scattered all over the world.
Now
this state is restored partly with the help of the UN, but there is
no peace there, and all problems are solved, as they were solved
before Christ, by the principle an eye for an eye, and it only
strengthens opposition between the conflicting parties. In fact self
control system, interdependence between elements are established by
such principle, as is known leads to self-destruction.
Is it possible to change the
situation somehow? Yes, if all people including Israelis, having
believed in Christ, begin to treat other people with love. Will Jews
someday come to Christ? I do not know. Here, He said about it: O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent
to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as
a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.
Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will
not see me again until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord
(Mathew, 23/37-39).
Certainly, it is not modest for my part to explain to chosen people
their valid historical role and furthermore show my own dreams as
arguments but what is left to do if I pity them and all arguments
given before did not work! In fact, as we already told, for some
reason Jews willingly believe that sterile Sarah, at one hundred
years of age, with Gods help gave birth to Isaac, but they do not
want to believe that young and physically healthy virgin Maria could
with Gods help by means of the Holy Spirit give birth to Messiah -
Jesus Christ (that prophets Jews respected had predicted). They
willingly believe, that God spoke with Moses from the burning bush,
but do not want to believe, that He could speak with them through
Jesus Christ's lips. Taking into account all this, I nevertheless
shall tell one more dream which I saw approximately one year after
the first one, told here earlier.
Certainly, it would be better, that if any real Jew or just any
other more worthy man had this dream so I need to be sorry only for
the compelled immodesty and persistence. So
On
the wood glade on the flat mountain top, I have met a grey-haired
old man in long white clothes and he has started to draw a draft for
me like at school. Thus the image appeared as though in emptiness,
and it was precisely visible on dark background: first from top-down
from one point two thin light lines have been drawn they have been
diverged at small angle. Then also from one point, but already from
bottom-up two the same lines have been drawn. When they have
intersected, these lines have formed a rhombus strongly extended on
a vertical. I could not understand, what was happening and continued
to observe. And when on dark background there was only this
precisely marked rhombus then suddenly, as though by themselves two
diagonals intersecting at right angles appeared inside it, they
formed the cross strongly extended on a vertical. And this cross
from nowhere began to shine so dazzling, sent rays extensively,
these rays were shining with gold, it was not possible to see
anything else. Dream finished and I woke up.
I
could not understand for so long, that it was and why I saw it. In
general that, it was possible to consider the form of a cross as
model of the waves that intersect at interference when in space
there is an energy maximum. But what for? However, some months later
in one American film which I saw occasionally, its characters
suddenly started talking about symbolism of the Star of David. This
star as I subsequently specified in the directory, are formed by
two crossed triangles, that symbolise two opposite directed arrows
(upwards and downwards), arrows mean aspiration of the person to go
upwards - in the sky, to God and downwards - to the ground, to
carnal human nature. It appears, David's Star symbolises a duality
and discrepancy of a human nature - that problem we discuss here!
These two arrows I saw in my dream, only as against David's Star
they have not been limited to triangles and consequently have formed
not a six-point star, but the rhombus.
But
in my dream these two arrows have been united with the help of
cross, it was shining and sent bright golden light into space!
Certainly, dream is a dream, and the nature of dreams is not
studied up to the end, but in a context of above mentioned arguments
such dream becomes similar to the hint to solve the problem! It
turns out that it was not possible to overcome the divergence of
dual human nature with the help of the legal code of the Old
Testament, that are identified with David's star as a symbol of
Israel in the dream, it follows that this divergence should be
overcome with the help of love, and cross is its symbol, cross
where Gods Son for the love of people offered Himself in sacrifice
for the sake of people. He united earthy and heavenly. He not only
showed the way to rescue, but gave means of rescue.
In
fact as a result of His crucifixion there was a birth of saving new
information - wave image of the person, it was shining like a cross
this image united earthy and heavenly, it is an image of sincere
and disinterested love, its an image that allows each person, if he
could not do it by him/herself, with the help of Christ to overcome
defect (this defect existed for Adams time) in his/her nature and
to change him/herself from within. We only need to believe in it and
to accept this life-giving light in ourselves. As it is accepted,
everyone becomes similar to Christ and consequently should bear
personal cross, it confirms effectiveness of changes in him/her.
These changes allow the person to observe all moral instructions of
Old and New Testament because of feeling of sincere and insuperable
love to God and people
All
this maybe, sounds too stilted, but we should not speak about
photons all the time.
Plus to everything, occurrence of
cross inside David's Star, among other things, should mean not the
absence of contradictions, but even visa versa - natural continuity
between Old and New Testament (especial if to speak about not
external attributes, but the internal contents of faith: in fact,
the cross was formed inside the rhombus, which is formally not a
star of David, but it implicitly corresponds to it, not
occasionally). I wanted Jews understand it. In fact Jesus Christ's
role Gods Son, embodied in human shape in Jewish people, and in
king Davids posterity- is to lead the person to God in the way,
possible for the living, carnal, mortal person that was not
possible do before. This way finishes with persons transfiguration
according to Gods will. And due to Jesus Christ's voluntary
sacrifice this transfiguration becomes possible for all people.
Apostle Paul at the end of his well-known Message to Jews (the
compatriots) directly informs them about it: May the God of peace
equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he
work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
(Chp. 13/20-21). So, Christs mission is not the act of some
impostor arbitrariness who gave himself out to be Gods messenger as
the some people think. This is the continuation of Divine creation
of the person, caused by objective necessity to update human nature,
and is made because of Gods will at the certain stage of world
development. Therefore Jews should be pleased, that God showed them
and the whole mankind the Saviour in their nation. Without internal
"equip" the person the God by means of Jesus Christ people cannot
solve any problem (including a problem of joint residing of Jews and
Palestinians in the Near East).
To
rescue person with the help of transfiguration in a new creature is
the purpose why Christ came to the world and allowed Himself to be
crucified. Is this purpose achieved now? I cant judge. But when it
happens, what then will be with Jews? We shall remember, that we
already asked this question at the beginning of this chapter. The
answer is given by apostle Paul in Romans : Again
I ask: Did they(Jews) stumble (when they crucified Christ comments
in brackets are mine A.T.) so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at
all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to
the Gentiles to make Israel envious. But if their transgression
means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the
Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring! ..I do
not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you
may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part
until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel
will be saved, as it is written: The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my
covenant with them when I take away their sins (Chp. 11/11, 12, 25-27) Apparently full number of
pagans was not collected yet But we shall return to the beginning
of our conversation.
The
contents of this chapter confirms, that with harmony in a human
society when motives of natural behaviour of people are dictated
first of all by caring about each other, is possible only if all
people will believe in God. There is no need to influence the person
with the help of specially created feedback mechanism to correct
behavioural motivation of the person in such society because We
also know that law is made not for the righteous but for
lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and
irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for
murderers, for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars
and perjurersand for whatever else is contrary to the sound
doctrine (1 Timothy, 1/9,10).
True believers dont need in any special feedback, because they
already are in dependence from each other due to mutual love and
belief in God: For we were all baptized by one
Spirit into one bodywhether Jews or Greeks, slave or freeand we
were all given the one Spirit to drink. Now the body is not made up
of one part but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a
hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason
cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I
am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that
reason cease to be part of the body. If the whole body were an eye,
where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear,
where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the
parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there
are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I
don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need
you!"( see example from the first chapter about the necessity of
interconnection between authority and people add. mine, A.T.) On
the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are
indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we
treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are
treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no
special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and
has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there
should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have
equal concern for each other (marked by me A.T.). If one part
suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every
part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one
of you is a part of it (1
Corinthians 12/13-27). With this fragment (also, next two), apostle
Paul explains, that the human society should represent the self
control system where all elements are united because of love and
belief in God and consequently make a single whole: Just as
each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not
all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one
body, and each member belongs to all the others (Romans, 12/4-5). And From him the whole body, joined and held
together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in
love, as each part does its work
(Ephesians, 4/16). So such society is capable for further successful
development.
But
not all people are believers. And believers are different. There are
a lot of religions with all their branches and at each of them has
its own truth. And all this besides, that there is the only God.
And in fact there are also atheists who do not believe in God. With
the help of knowledge, which even is not enough to explain why
electron is drawn to proton, they prove to themselves the
impossibility of Gods existence , Who has made a mutual attraction
of these particles possible (due to what, actually, this earthy
world with atheists became possible). In a result, now there is
rather absurd situation in the world.
The
confession of various people of various religions and beliefs,
denying Gods existence by some of them, is possible because there
is objective criterion of truth that is clear to everyone. It forces
people to make a choice of the religious outlook because of personal
experience at best, or follow standard tradition in the place they
live in. With such perception of God there is a danger that belief
in Him can be substituted for formal observance of ceremonies
traditional for the given district. If there is one truth, and a lot
of competitors (representatives of various religions, asserting it),
it means that the distinction between them isnt in belief in God,
but in external forms of its realisation - in various ceremonies and
rules. And in fact the belief in ceremonies and belief in God is not
absolutely the same thing. The belief in ceremonies only, without
understanding their religious sense that is based on correct
perception of the alive God is an original form of paganism, that is
the latent unbelief.
Now, for example, the overwhelming majority of ordinary Catholics
and orthodox Christians do not remember the reasons of split in
previously united Christian church into Eastern and Western, and
they reduce all differences only to the form of cross and the way to
be christened (one from left to right, and others from right to
left). However external distinctions are important only when they
reflect the internal contents of belief in God. And if the person
cannot formulate, what he believes in, or does not follow the belief
he/she declares, every day commits crimes against God and conscience
then external attributes of belief turn to empty profanation. Such
belief turns to unbelief. Jews unbelief made them aspire to earthy
prosperity as to an ultimate goal of the existence and didnt want
to see Messiah in Christ, who preached the Kingdom of heaven instead
of the kingdom of earth. In medieval Catholicism absence of faith
led to distortion of initial sense of some ceremonies (for example,
the introduction of indulgences)that, in turn, led to split inside
Catholic church and to occurrence of Protestantism. In Russian
orthodox church because of ceremonial reforms of patriarch Nikon in
17 century there was a split also and Old Believers appeared. And
any split is the certificate of internal illness of the society.
External attributes of faith promote only formal association of
people in uniform faith while true association is made with the help
of the Holy Spirit, as it was told before. External attributes are
false treated by faith criteria when there are no other criteria of
truth.
An
absence of faith criteria in peoples consciousness, criteria that
allows to realise the role and meaning of God in their life
precisely and clearly, in due time has led in due time to split of
all people believing in God on Jews, Christians and Moslems,
Christians on Catholics, orthodox, Protestants, etc., Moslems on
Shiites and Sunnits And not them only. Nowadays there are tens
(if not hundreds) various pseudo-religious sects which founders
maintain natural spiritual famine of people not defined in questions
of faith, injure and cripple souls of these unfortunate, manipulate
their behaviour, and earn huge capitals on them.
As
a matter of fact, to balance relations between people who have
dramatically opposite views of the same values because of
differences in their outlook, it is necessary to resort to the
concept of self-control we speak about.
After such declaration this work could be finished. But we have not
received the answer to the question: why, at all absurdity of the
situation, does God allow people freedom to create what they want?
Why does He allow evil to create evil, and kind to create kind?
The
person all his/her life aspires and continues to aspire to freedom.
But if in market conditions he/she needs freedom only to earn with
all accessible means as much money as possible, ignoring all moral
precepts, and at the same time self-control
principle according to which to rescue soul it is more blessed to
give, than to take such freedom has negative consequences. It
closes road to God. In wild market conditions money becomes an
object of worship. For the sake of money the person becomes capable
of everything, of any meanness. Who likes money knows how it
happens. And consequently it is impossible to worship God and Mammon
(riches).
In
this occasion I have one retort. Many people connect number "666"
with arrival of the antichrist. But Paicy Svyatogorech mentioned,
that it is possible to meet this number in the Bible this number
three times: once in John Bogoslov's Revelation where this caution
has appeared for the first time, and two more times in the Third
book of Empires (9/14) and in the Second book of Paralipomenon
(9/13) where it associates with earthy riches. People
connect antichrists occurrence in the world with the birth of the
certain person in the certain place. And while they guess, in what
country such antichrist will appear, his spirit is already installed
in them as thirst for earthly perishable riches. Therefore Judas
Iscariot sold Christ for thirty silver coins became the first
antichrist. Then there were others. In fact market economy is
constructed on this spirit. And Russia, which escaped from authority
of dictatorship of proletariat, right at the beginning of reforms,
voluntarily appeared under the influence of the new even more rigid
dictatorship - dictatorships of riches. After decades of spreading
militant atheism ideology in the country added with a low standard
of well-being, the most suitable time is chosen.
So
harmless at first sight market relations ruin peoples souls.
Therefore it is necessary to put this relations under control with
the help of self control concept. Each person should understand
clearly what kind of choice he/she faces: to live for the sake of
the pleasure, doesnt care how much it will cost others or first of
all care about others to bring up the soul in love to fellow
creature and to God for the subsequent high mission according to
the Creators will.
Terrorism is declared the most critical problem now in the world.
But mankind always faced this problem. Simply now, with development
of technical progress, terrorists have become more powerful means of
force influence, that threatens the lives of innocent people. To
avoid escalation of violence, Christ taught offended not to answer
thrust on thrust. Therefore the ideology of terrorism, which
justifies violence over innocent people as a unique mean to solve
all unresolved problems, propagandises destruction of evil with the
help of the bigger evil, and uses feeling of boundless revenge as
the main behavioural motive, is an antichristian ideology. The
ideology of revenge conducts to self-destruction of opposing sides.
For the same reason the force decision of the problem of terrorism
has no prospect. It does not mean, that it is not necessary to fight
with terrorism with force methods, but it means, that it will be
defeated finally only when the consciousness of people changes.
In
the Old Slavonic language there is such expression:
(die
as obri). It concerns people "was famous" because of their special
cruelty: captured women were ploughing for these
"obri".
This people do not exist now - all "are dead ". The violence is not
compatible with life in the universe, because aspiration to violence
generates rage, and rage kills a persons soul and consequently each
malicious person is a walking corpse who does not have a future.
The
terrorism, in any kind is a moral illness of the person who has been
torn off God. The root of this evil is inside the person. Christ
said: Nothing
outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather,
it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'
(Mark, 7/15). Therefore the key to the decision of the problem of
terrorism lays in changing peoples outlook. All people: not only
those who commit a crime under the influence of internal defects,
cause some damage or insult to other people, but also those who are
beside themselves from rage, take revenge on everybody for caused
harm to him/her or to his/her relatives. A lot of thing depends here
on what religion this or that person practices. It is necessary to
realise that ostensibly the religious current that encourages murder
of innocent people is not from God and consequently really
believing person can not kill another, motivating it with love to
God. Therefore, if any religion does not promote internal moral
transfiguration of the person it means the person does not have
enough faith, or such religion is imperfect. From this it follows
that it is not possible to impose the faith by force.
However, as well as it is impossible to impose
trice-democratic way of life to others because market freedom is
the latent form of slavery to the capital and only blind can
consequently associate market democracy with freedom.
The
Kiev Russia as primogenitor of Russia, appeared on the I and the II
millennium boundary from the isolated Slavonic tribes incorporated
on a spiritual basis of orthodox Christianity. These are the
spiritual roots of Russia, allowed the multinational ethos
practising Christian precepts not only in temples, but also in a
real life to appear in the world. In the book by N.O.Losskiy
Character of Russian people it is said: the Foreigners closely
observing Russian life, in most cases mark outstanding religiousness
of Russian people In the book Marthas Way and Maria's way
Gracham (an Englishman Stephen. - ..) tells, that the talk with
Englishmen comes to an end with conversation about sports, with the
Frenchman - conversation about the woman, with the Russian
intellectual - conversation about Russia, and with the peasant -
conversation about God and religion. Russian six hours on end can
talk about religion. Russian idea is a Christian idea; foremost is
the love to suffering, pity, attention to the individual person....
This citation of the extraneous observer speaks for itself. In
addition, the attention is paid on distinction noticed by the author
in outlook between Russian intellectuals and peasantry.
Unfortunately it is necessary to ascertain, that modern Russian
intellectuals, especial in its politically active part, remains
mainly atheistic (probably, it is more difficult to the intellectual
proud of the "scientific" knowledge to believe in Gods existence,
than little educated peasant). And consequently for this considering
itself intellectual layer of the Russian society, the role of guide
is to imposing atheistic principles of liberal democracy on people.
In
this connection one more reference to N.O.Losskiy's work is
interesting, he gave quotations from the book of Baltic German
Walter Shubart Europe and soul of the East. In it Shubart opposes
two types of the person: Prometeys type, the heroic person and
Johns type, the messianic person, is the person following an ideal,
given in the Gospel from John. He thinks that the representatives of
Johns type are Slavs, especially Russian. Prometeys type, the
heroic person, sees chaos in the world, he should organize this
chaos with his strength; he is full of thirst for authority; he
leaves God and comes into the world of things deeper and deeper.
Deconsecration
is his destiny, heroism
is his vital feeling. Tragic element is his end.
These are
"modern
roman and German nations"
.
"Johns type", the messianic person, is the person who feels like
urged to create supreme divine order on earth, which image he/she
carries. He/she wants to restore the harmony around him/herself, the
harmony he/she feels inside. The first Christians and majority of
Slavs felt this way. The messianic person is spiritualized not with
thirst for authority, but mood of reconciliation and love. He/she
does not divide and dominate, but searches shattered to reunite
He/she sees not enemies in people but brothers; in the world not bag
it is necessary to rush for, but a rough matter with which is
necessary to illuminate and consecrate. Shubart sets the European
consciousness by contrast as an object of his book. The West, -
he says, - has presented the most perfect forms of technical
equipment, statehood and communication to the world, but it has
deprived the world of its soul. The task of Russia is to return it
to people. (It does not mean, that Russians are better than others in some way, but each nation, as well as each person has his\her function on earth: one is an eye, another is an ear ..).
Besides in his book Shubart marks internal freedom
of Russians:
"The
aspiration to freedom is peculiar to Russians and in general to
Slavs, not only freedom from a yoke of foreign people, but also
freedom from fetters of all passing and transitory ; among
Europeans poor never looks on rich without envy, among Russian rich
frequently looks on poor with shame. Russians have a feeling,
that possession means belonging to something, that freedom
chokes with wealth".
From this old proverb it follows that modern values of liberal
democracy are too close for truly faithful person. In fact the real
Christian thinks that his/her freedom is not limited to frameworks
of only earthly existence. For such understanding of freedom values
of liberal democracy that put it down are senseless. Because to be
free to make, for example, unisex marriage like inhabitants of Sodom
and Gomorrah, and some modern European states and be free from
desire to make such marriages are not the same. Freedom of democracy
allows the person to make any sin, and freedom in Christ releases
him/her from slavery to this sin. This is the difference. Internal
sinfulness of people which have been torn off God, leads to freedom
of actions for them, which means freedom of chaos that leads to
death.
The term "democracy" means authority of people. But if this or that
nation is sick, it should be treated, it should not follow the
illness, using, for example, democracy on TV for the sake of
commercial success, it even more kindles low passions in the person,
approving that it is democratic, because people wants it. Developing
such democracy people actually follow their earthly passions and
consequently keep away from God even more. Therefore I assert, that
democracy in spontaneous market conditions
deprived of an idea about a priority Divine above earthly leads
society to anarchy and chaos.
For
this reason it is so hard to inculcate in Russia market economy
principles with its pragmatism and opposition of peoples interests.
To tell the truth, now everything changes so quickly that if to do
nothing, for the new generation of Russians which have been
brought up on impetuous "democratic" advertising thrust to
mass-media of the consumer attitude to life, will be more difficult
to preserve their souls in purity.
In
this connection I recollect a telecast of the beginning of 90th
years National interest with Dmitry Kiseliov when one young girl
from India, listening to the then fashionable debate about
advantages of market economy, told about the first acquaintance of
her father with Russians who just came back from his first business
trip to Russia: All of them have eyes as Christ and after that,
addressing to an audience, added, in that rush to market, dont lose
this feature so distinguishing Russians from others.
In
fact the orthodox person when he/she is put on trial, does not ask
For what?, but asks what's the use of it?, he/she shows that
each event in life he/she considers as Divines providence for
his/her transfiguration. The whole life of such a person is a
struggle with him/herself to extirpate defects.
In
days of tsar Alexey Michailovich reign (on the threshold of church
reforms of patriarch Nikon), the Russian peasant made on the average
up to 150 prayer bows before icons a day. The matter is not in
amount of trunk inclinations but in words and ideas the person has
at this moment. In fact constant memory of God as we now know,
strengthens persons connection with God and transfigures him from
within. Love of Russian people to God, their kindness,
disinterestedness, ability to feel compassion for others allowed
many other people who practised different religions and with
original culture to live in peace.
The history of our
state has happens this way, that gradually many of this cultural
wealth have been substantially lost, and all present misfortunes are
connected first of all with this loss. Consigning God to oblivion
many our compatriots have lost faith in Him and love to Him. And
without belief and without love to God there is no understanding of
the sinfulness and also there is no sincere repentance, and it means
there cannot be the correction of our nature that follows
repentance. Here comes degradation of the person, its consequence -
alcoholism and drug addiction, extremism in attitudes, and also
universal lie, low culture, demographic crisis, corruption in
authorities, inefficient economy, poverty...
Means it is necessary to come back to God. Then
everything will sort itself out.
Optinskiy old man Anatoly (the Junior), who had a gift of prophesy,
died in his cell on August 12, 1922 before his arrest by Bolsheviks,
said such words about destiny of Russia: there will be a storm, and
Russian ship will be broken. Yes, it will be, but in fact and on
chips and fragments people can be rescued God will not leave
people who set hopes upon Him. It is necessary to pray, it is
necessary to repent and pray heartily And what happens after
storm? A calm Yes, there will be the great Gods miracle. Both all
chips and fragments) will gather and will incorporate, because of
Gods will and strength, and the ship will be recreated in its
beauty and will go the way God intended. So it will be, obvious
miracle (the Patriarchal Orthodox calendar 2004, the page from
12.08.04.).
To come back to God is necessary not only for Russians, but also to
all other peoples. Then the base for terrorism in the world will
disappear, because the present growth of extremism is connected with
growth of inspirituality of a society. And to make the return to God
effective and productive it
should be not in formal observance of
external attributes of faith, but in internal regeneration of the
person.
The person is unique Gods creation, he/she does
not know he/his own worth and consequently now he/she can be
compared with uneducated ignoramus which hammers the nails with
computer. Even the conventional geniuses actually use their
potential only a little. Now the genius is perceived as a deviation
from the standard norm though actually each person is initially
genius, but he/she does not know about it and does not use his/her
gift. It happens because we are not morally ready to perform that
high mission which is initially given to mankind by God. All of us:
Russians, Germans, Chinese, Americans, Chechens or Jews - first of
all we are people, unique Gods creations as the apostle has said,
are bought on high price and, therefore, when one person hurts
another he/she commits crime against God. He has created us not
only to eat, drink, have fun, or that is in general impossible, to
kill, drink, take drugs and sell the soul temporary "pleasure".
Because such perfect creature as the person cannot be intended for
such insignificant, low and pernicious purposes. We do not know
precisely what future will bring but I know, that everyone will
have an individual, depend on life he/she led an earth. Because
earthy human life is a part of soul, placed in a small capsule
it is Gods gift, given to the person as a trainer to educate
his/her soul. In fact the material world attaches soul to the body,
makes it care for bodys needs, makes it face a choice of priorities
in its behaviour: to care first of all for itself or for others. In
a material world where there is evil, the love has an opportunity to
prove: to love others easily and to be loved when there is peace and
prosperity around, and it's quite another matte when love for fellow
creature needs sacrifice from the person and is connected with
his/her life threat or well-being.
Stay in the body makes the person vulnerable, dependent from
sufferings and pleasures of flesh when he/she has something to
sacrifice to love for fellow creature, when he/she is under the
influence of the factors that motivate his/her good or evil actions
in self control system structure of a human society. Hence, the
person should use his/her stay on Earth to learn to solve all
problems, which inevitably should be present (!!!) in his/her earthy
life, to solve them not due to other people, but according to
principles of creative process in the universe love principles.
Apostle Paul said about this question: Do
you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves
nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will
inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But
you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God
(1 Corinthians, 6/9-11)
And the main thing during the life on Earth each person during all her\his peripetias should learn to support the relations with God that will allow him\her after the end of the terrestrial phase of his\her existence to exclude the opportunity to fall away from the Founder as Denniza - former the first sparkling angel who had become a devil. All tests the person passes on earth are directed to achieve this purpose. Therefore each of us to a greater extent manages his/her destiny not what he/she
sets as an object but how, (how fair and what quality, with
love for people) he/she solves those problems he/she faces in life,
whether he/she is a minister, businessman or simple driver. In this
sense any kind-hearted hard worker and not so much depends on him in
this life, can have advantage before the corrupt high-ranking
egoist, who has destinies of thousand people in his hands.
Passing through all tests, not
giving up on harm and acting according to laws, the person prepares
him/herself for the future life when present corporal restrictions
will disappear, and he/she can realise completely the high
appropriation God had given. This is the unity of material and
spiritual aspects of earthy existence of the person. And the person
who in achievement of earthly well-being sees an ultimate goal of
the existence is deeply mistaken.
God has given people total freedom to do what they want, to
distinguish people because of their who is ready to follow Him and
who has turned away from Him.
This is the answer to the question about the reasons of coexistence
of good and evil on earth. It is spoken about in a parable of tares:
Let both grow
together until the harvest
(Mathew, 13/30). And these words prove that we have dome the right
conclusion that life on earth is only some kind of a trial period
for the person before the next stage of his/her activity.
It
is possible to agree or disagree with things written here the
truth wont change because of that The truth is not defined by the
number of its supporters: one thousand blind will not replace one
sighted person. Sometimes it is simply avail to people to shut eyes
on truth. Read the Bible attentively, and you will independently
find answers to all questions. The Bible in general is the important
tool of persons transfiguration, in fact if the person s is capable
to restore dead grains of wheat with the help of words, then words
from this book written by God are capable to change the person
completely and to transfigure him/her into the perfect godlike
creature. Only it is necessary to read it not like some "men of
science" do who consider, that they have descended from the monkey
and initially prejudice everything, that in this Book is not stacked
in frameworks of their rational thinking. It is told about such
people in Bible, isnt it?: You
yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were
entering.?
(Luke chp.11/52).
To
speak about this work I can tell only that everything that is true
here is from God, and everything, that is not is the my presumption,
I want to make the secret of life I understand simpler, in simple
words show something that cant be shown.
Jesus Christ said, that if you were not like children, you would not
enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The consciousness of the child differs
from consciousness of the adult because when the baby perceives the
world, he cant talk, and due to this he perceives the information
directly he does not need arguments of logic to learn the truth.
And due to this for a short period of infancy he has time to learn
more than he can do with the help of logic for the rest of life.
Adult needs words to perceive the world. And I admit, that it was
very difficult for me to put different facts one by one into
diagram to prove my point of view, the facts that actually are only
separate fragments of a uniform information picture and they demand
for its perception to consider of all their set simultaneously - as
a single whole. Such way of transfer and perception of the
information is quite complex - it is similar to study a huge picture
under a microscope when the person cant see the whole picture and
has to examine each fragment separately then use intellectual
opportunities and all imagination try to grasp immense and to
recreate a uniform complete picture in his/her brain. If it was
possible, he/she would understand, that
this world is energy fluctuations transformed by Gods
consciousness, they are a material environment where there is a
spiritual birth of the new person. Due to such device of the world
and due to the divine nature the person receives an opportunity to
influence this world with the help of means that reflect the level
of understanding of a place of God at the given moment and his/her
place in this world. Accordingly and character of the persons
influence on this world is defined by his level of the spiritual
development that allows to judge everyone according his/her deeds.
It is possible too live in such world only if the main principle
that proves its harmony mutual love principle is observed.
But to understand all this, it is not enough just to read the
arguments here, but it is necessary to try and to live this life
that way then everyone will feel its beauty and harmony. To do it
without faith, with the help of one rational logic only it is like
to feel love, without loving somebody.
But if nevertheless to speak about
a solvency of the arguments in this work only future will show how
true they are. And everyone will have his/her own way. The science
is moving: at the end of July, 2004 one of the global authorities in
physics, Stephen Hawking, has publicly changed his thirty-year old
opinion about the processes in black holes, and now God has a
place in his theory. And thank God. And after some time scientists
will prove, that everything is created by God. And what should
people do who always believe in science only, the science whose next
discovery sometimes denies the previous one? And there are "the
first signs" already.
For
example, recently American space sonde WMAP made to take temperature
of radiation beaming from different parts of a galaxy has found out
a strange line in space, it penetrates the universe all the way
through and forms its three dimensional model. This line prejudices
all modern representations about the universe origin and its
development, including Einstein theory of a relativity according to
which expansion of space and time after initial big explosion
happened chaotically, and the universe is homogeneous and tends to
expansion on all its borders. The data from sonde deny these
postulates: temperature of relic radiation testifies not about chaos
in distribution of various zones of the universe, but about the
certain orientation or even plan. At that the above mentioned
special huge line is found, around it there is an orientation of all
universe structure.
In
any case in our rigid and sometimes immoral world sooner or later
life will sort things out, for example, when people cannot restore
the broken morals with the direct actions, it will be restored by
other forces actions, we were speaking about in this work. And
there are examples of these forces actions.
For
example, according to Dr.Sci.Tech. L.Bolotova several years ago in
the USA AIDS-INFECTED child of AIDS-infected parents was sent to die
at home. In five years, when they checked the boy for AIDS,
physicians with surprise found out absolute immunity in him. They
took his call for research they ascertained, that any virus is not
capable to penetrate into them. And there are more and more such
children. Thus, initiated by fatal illness of an innocent kid a
feedback mysteriously, as in I.Agadjanian's experiments, has
corrected the injustice. Also it is noticed, that in places of where
such children are concentrated adults get this health virus as it
was called by physicians, and this circumstance confirms our
conclusions about quantum character of the material world.
Therefore let everyone decide for himself/herself what he/she agrees
and disagrees with, and starting from this each person will decide
how to live.
It
is important because future events will make mankind face a choice:
to change the outlook, or to stop the existence. Year 2004 with all
its natural cataclysms has let us know clearly and unambiguously,
that signs of Jesus Christs doomsday and the end of the century (
when people during tsunami escaped in mountains and on roofs of
their houses) in the 24th chapter of the Gospel from Mathew are
not empty phrases.
It is still possible to change everything!
But the problem is that while some people learn to live according to
laws of conscience, others followed completely another outlook, take
aim at them coolly. If it is not possible to overcome this problem,
then it will be necessary to recognise, that the life on earth is
doomed and harmonious relations between people are possible only in
the other world, where nobody will prevent them from following laws
of mutual love and where many (or only some chosen) will appear
after the death. The self-control concept is an attempt to combine
amicably interests of different people in conditions of their earthy
existence, and to prolong an opportunity of the world to perform the
function connected with moral evolution of the person.
I
would not like to finish this work on such a pessimistic note.
Therefore at the end I offer you a picture with no comments (as in
"EuroNews").
From May 25 till July 29, 2003 the relics of the saint Andrey
Pervosvanny were carried in different cities of Russia. From June 5
till June 7 they were in Novgorod Velikiy.
When, on the evening of June 6, about 10 p.m., I and my children
arrived to Pokrovsky Cathedral, we were hoping that at this time
there were no people in the temple, but we saw a huge line, its end
was inhabited quarters of the city, 300 meters away from the temple.
There were both old and young people - representatives of the
different layers in modern Russian society and all people kept
silent and waited patiently. The line to get sacred water at
Christening when together with believers people just come to get
curative water - even then line is shorter...
This silent line without superfluous words testifies that, as well
as one thousand years ago, the only tsar for orthodox in Russia was
and is the Heavenly Father who loves us, wants our rescue and
constantly cares for us. Otherwise Russia would have ended its
existence a long time ago. And any revolutions, any new market
democracies are not capable to separate us from the Saviour. I
remember, how somewhere at the beginning of 90th years, in the
revelry of "Eltsins" reforms one comely kind old woman in
Nikolsky's church court yard of the temple on Tretyakovka, looked at
me with kind smiling eyes, told in a low voice: Everything will be
good. It will be good in Moscow and in Russia. And added as in
secret: Because we love God.
Already again in history of Russia, as in due time with Jews, God
loves us, leads us through various tests once again to remind: If
we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a
material harvest from you?
Rescue of Russia, as, however, and all other nations - is in God!
The tool of rescue is the prayer based on faith and love. In fact
even if only one person uses his/her divine nature, prays for rescue
of the world, the new creative information will appear in
information space of the world and it will render positive
transfiguring influence on him/her. And if the whole nation starts
to pray nobody can overcome this force this is the strength of
Christs Church, because of the divine nature it is capable to
present individual efforts of separate people, in which God lives as
a single whole!
And
now, perhaps, I shall put a point.
I
know, that this work looks not finished. And it is correct. In fact
it is impossible to tell the person about God with the help of logic
only. Faith is also necessary. It is necessary because it allows us
to compensate for the lack of rational knowledge of God and to
change the person from within, despite lack of this knowledge. From
E.Masaru's experiments we now know, for example, about the important
influence of the written words on water, but many years ago in the
Bible it was said about the danger of the informations free use: Do
not practice divination or sorcery
(Leviticus, 19/26). Therefore the faith should precede rational
knowledge, and not vice versa. But what is faith? According to
apostle Paul Now
faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do
not see
(Hebrews, 11/1). The belief in God has made me look for rational
arguments for the benefit of that Holy Writ offers the person on
trust. The knowledge is limited, the faith is boundless and
consequently at the certain stage of human development it cannot be
replaced by knowledge. With the help of rational arguments from the
sphere of holography, etc. I tried to explain, for example, Jesuss
prayers effectiveness and the mechanism of its influence on person,
but I know many examples from other peoples lives and I was made
sure what even unitary call for help of Jesus Christ's name in a
hopeless situation, changes all conditions of such situation
immediately. Similar action demands further explanations and
consequently meanwhile can be only object of faith. And because of
faith numerous saints received gift of the Holy Spirit grace from
God and made various miracles, they did not know about the mechanism
of their realisation. The same sacred Serafim Sarovsky, was not a
doctor and didnt know anything about the holographic, quantum
device of the visible world, with the help of faith only he "lifted"
landowner Motovilov from an invalid carriage who suffered from
paraplegia.
The
faith should be based on minds work because it should not be blind
and the person doesnt make a mistake in a choice of object of
faith.
I
hope, that the arguments here can help the person to engender the
true belief in God (Im talking about people who dont have faith)
with the help of rational logic reasoning. Besides, such belief
based on realized arguments will not allow the person to go from one
extreme to another in searches of truth, to give up one ideal and
accept another easily. Faith strengthened in such a rational way can
be not worse than the sincere belief of the first Christians who saw
Christ. And the example of the most
"doubting"
from all apostles - apostle Thomas can prove it; after Christs
death he doubted His revival unlike the other apostles and to
exclude the doubts, he wanted to touch wounds from nails of the
revived Teacher. And Jesus Christ didnt condemn him for it, and
gave necessary proofs. Because the sermon of truth with proofs is
necessary not for believers, bot non-believers - believers without
the sermon "know" everything. But after that apostle Thomas,
according to prelate John Zlatoust, was so established in faith,
that because of Gods grace became more courageous, more zealous
and more tireless everything travelled over the world with the
sermon, he was not afraid to announce Gods Word to wild peoples
(the Patriarchal orthodox calendar for 2004, the leaf from
18.10.04.). We have no opportunity to touch Christs wounds but like
apostle Thomas we with the help of logic try to find proofs we can
understand.
I
regret, that for the greater persuasiveness I could not make this
work more emotional. But this is the style I should choose because
of arguments from physics, biology, etc. Each reader can excite
emotions by him/herself, especially if in the light of this work
they watch the movie by Mel Gibson Passions of Christ. I hope,
that after perusal of this work a lot of things in this film can
become clear (for example, Christs phrase on Calvary I create
everything new). This movie was shot close to the Gospel (except
for episodes with demon).
At
last I would like to speak with people who because of some religious
or other world outlook reasons could not accept the arguments in
this work. These people hope, that they will never ask Christ for
help, will not go to the temple to make confession, and will not
participate in any Sacraments of church. Let then they try to take
on trust only one short statement of apostle John - Christs
favourite pupil: God
is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him
(1 John, 4/16).
If they find strength in themselves to act according these words the
God Himself will make the way to their hearts and will turn them to
Him without the help of my primitive arguments: Gods grace comes to
the person as gifts of the Holy Spirit not at persons will but
Gods will, as reaction to his belief supported by deeds of love.
P.S. And now lets
come back to the beginning of our talk about the fair wind and way
choice. When a person cant chose the way by him/herself and follows
the way that was chosen by others, she/he has to follow their
example and accept their arguments for this way. But when he/she
finds the real selection criterion of the right way and turns to
this way, he/she becomes the first one who follows the right way.
And if this way is really correct then many other people will follow
him/her voluntary. And because the direction is changed the last one
can be the first one
Yours faithfully, Alexey
