AfterwordJohn Lennon once told us: “When we were unknown boys and created our music, we lived as if we are going to conquer the entire world tomorrow. “It is such daring of thought that you miss, though you have much more rights than we had! “We lived with a bright feeling that tomorrow the entire world will be at our feet! It was an aspiration filled with power and self-confidence! We lived as winners and we became them! The world yielded to four daring and courageous men who wanted to fill human hearts with new wave of music of freedom and love! The world began to live with our ideas, our songs, our music! The freedom of our ideas won the minds of people; our music began to sound on all continents! “We lived as winners, as messengers of the freedom! Though no one of us knew the True Freedom at that time, this state of the souls created our future! “Feel yourselves those who were sent to the world to change it! It must be done not some day in the future but right now, today! Every day of your lives has to become transforming for the world, bringing a new Divine Wave to it! “You have to do it right now and not to wait that some day under the debris of computer trash of the 21st century researchers of antiquity find your works and exclaim with surprise: ‘Oh! It was discovered at that time!…’. “You have to give to people right now a life-giving wave of the ideas of Freedom, Love, and the Path of Spiritual Heart! “Feel the Power of God that comes through you — and allow realizing His plan with the help of your spiritual group. Become filled with daring confidence that you can do this!” * * * The existence of God is not fairy tales, not fantasies of foolish people. God really exists. And He is cognizable to people who are well developed in the evolutionary respect and who have devoted their lives to cognition of Him. Who is He and where is He? He — in the aspect of the Creator — abides in the most deep and subtle dimension of the multidimensional space. He is One though consists of the infinite number of all Those Who — during the eternity — attained the fullness of the Divine Perfection, entered this eon and merged there with Him — with the One Who is called the Primordial Consciousness, the Creator, God-the-Father, Jehovah (Yahweh), Ishvara, Allah, Tao, Svarog, Odin, etc — in different human languages.* Communication with God usually happens through non-incarnate Divine Teachers, Who come out from the Abode of the Creator with a Part of Themselves; in the Christian tradition They are called, in the aggregate sense, the Holy Spirit. Less often people have an opportunity to communicate with incarnate Representatives of the Creator; They are called — in different languages — Messiahs, Avatars, Christs. They come to incarnate people in different Appearances: in male or female bodies and with a particular form of Their Service. Some of Them express the Truth in prose, Others — in verses, through singing or other directions of arts. In one of conversations with us, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin compared Divine Writers — with pens for writing by whom the Creator writes Holy letters to the people, even “dipping” sometimes these pens “in the ink”. At that moment, Igor Talkov* added that the Creator incarnates Divine Singers into the world of matter in order to use Them as His microphones… And not necessarily They immediately begin to tell to people about the most important things; They wisely try to change gradually the direction of people’s thinking… Divine incarnations are a rare phenomenon. On the other hand, there are many non-incarnate Divine Teachers Who provide Their help to people in concrete regions. Aspiring to anyone of Them and learning hardly from Him or She necessarily helps one to advance to the victory or even to achieve it. We were lucky to learn from tens of Holy Spirits, and everyone of Them gave us — apart from the general elements of the educational program that are common for all students of God — also Their own favorite methods of self-perfection. Communication with many of Them allowed us to form a more vivid and complete notion about the most important things in lives of incarnate people, which we described in our books and films. … We have cognized Him. And now we give the knowledge about Him — to you. What was required from us to cognize God? First of all — ethical purity, which includes relations not only with people but with the animal and vegetal worlds, and also — what is most important — with the Creator. But we are not going to dwell on this now because we discussed these subjects fully and in many aspects in other books [1-12]. In addition to the ethical purity, we had to dedicate our lives monastically only to this goal — to cognition of God and service to Him. And now we are happy to give this knowledge to you, our readers. * * * All people differ among themselves by the psychogenetic age (the age of the soul) and also by how successfully they evolved in their past. Therefore everyone needs different amount of time and effort for advancing — by the state of the soul — to God so that to become able of seeing, hearing, and really embracing Him with the arms consisting only of love. But it is also very important that the speed of personal spiritual advancement depends much on the true understanding of the Goal and methods of work on oneself. This is why we made a lot of effort to describe in detail and illustrate the methodology of spiritual self-development and cognition of God, which was developed by us. And we ask you to contribute — as far as possible — to saving this knowledge for the entire humanity and to most wide introduction of it, in particular, into the educational system. * * * What teaching of religion should be? At present it is reduced — at best — to studying honored ancient literary sources.* Yet one should understand that these works, even if they originated from God and have not suffered much from inadequate translation and intentional distortions introduced by the copyists — they anyway present the information in the form which was intended for people of that particular epoch and culture. Moreover, inadequate interpretation of these “primary sources” by people with ill psychics or with criminal intentions caused and causes now many big and small crimes performed as if in the name of God and for His sake… Examples are “Holy Inquisition”, “crusades”, modern Islamic fundamentalistic extremism, activity of other sects. Therefore it is appropriate to talk about the necessity of introducing most widely into the minds of all people the modern knowledge about God, about the meaning of our lives and its realization, about the methodology of spiritual development. It is with these main theological problems that one has to start teaching religion. As for the historical literary monuments of all times and nations — let they be regarded as they deserve — as historical monuments (worthy of respect and studying, of course). Let no one see in my last words an attempt to lower the words said in the past by Jesus Christ, Krishna, Gautama Buddha, and Others… No, I mean nothing like this! The point is that All They speak now as well! — addressing modern people in modern languages and taking into account modern conditions, needs, and tasks of the mankind. Let us heed to what They say! I wish you success!
