Divine LutheransWe are again on the former Finnish lands occupied by Russians during World War II. The Soviet troops — at the price of heavy casualties — manage to force out from here all incarnate Finish people. But Finish Divine Teachers, who worked here, remained and continue Their Work among people. No, They do not revenge on Russians. The Perfect do not have such a quality as revengefulness. And moreover, God does not divide people by national characteristic. He is “international” and “interconfessional” in contrast to undeveloped people… But He forms destinies depending on the deeds performed by incarnate people… Those who committed serious crimes here and everywhere cannot reckon on favorable destiny unless they repent sincerely… … Here there is firry-piny-birch forest with hills, gullies, and brooks… Two Divine Teachers are with us. Both — in Their past — are Scandinavian Lutheran pastors. We have known Them for years… How did Their earthly names sound? One of Them is Pastor Larry in His last Swedish incarnation. Another One did not tell us His name; He only said that His Finish name is too difficult for us to perceive. Therefore, He suggested that we call Him Freddy as His American friends called Him in His earthly life. They want to speak with us at first not separately but together, because Their destinies are very similar. We ask: “Tell us, please, how were You able to cognize the Creator and obtain the completeness of the Perfection?” “We All were incarnated in this region not only once. Here was the exceptionally favorable environment for the attainment of the Perfection and not only from the standpoint of natural energy and landscapes… “It was very important that a Lutheran priest-pastor was not separated from people. A pastor and his flock lived like one family. The community solved the common everyday economic affairs by united efforts. And always a pastor was the main figure in these affairs. This ennobled people, and a pastor by himself got priceless everyday experience of studying psychology of people who move to the common spiritual Goal. It was indeed his personal experience of cognition of human souls: to whom give spiritual knowledge, what everyone could or could not understand. “Besides, Scandinavia is the land of lakes! One shore, another shore, water, boats… Life was such there! Moss-grown forests with berries and mushrooms, hares and squirrels… Measured life and natural economy. I wish this for you! “What was the advantage of our pastors over Russian Orthodox ones? Including, it consisted in complete absence of drunkenness and in the natural communal life among forests and lakes… “Here are, for example, boatmen at work. Without troubles and worries, without drunkenness and profanity, on the background of positive emotions all the life went on in nature. And this is very important! And a sermon pervaded all the life! We repeat: pastors were not separated from people, but they were all time in the common companionship. What was the difference of a pastor comparing with others? Why did this particular man become a pastor? Because he was chosen and sent to learn by the community. It was the man deliberately recognized by the community, who had been hold in respect even before he got the rank of a pastor. “At the same time, there was minimum of rites. However, for meditative attunement to the Father and His Son Jesus Christ — indeed for this — a grand divine service took place. And each divine service was a celebration!” “But what did you eat? Lakes, boats which you built… Does it mean that You were fishermen? And it is not known to us that present Lutheranism preaches the refusal of eating fish and meat…” “Of course, none of Us did eat ‘slaughtered’ food. “The concepts of ethically right nutrition, which were called usually Puritanism, originated not now. They existed long before the incarnation of Jesus Christ. “But at the same time, none of Us ever forced anybody to this: every member of the community chose by himself what to eat. And We never regarded the fish based nutrition as a sin for people. “We explained to others that a pastor should eat pure food, otherwise he would not be able to hear the voice of God. Some understood that this should be applied only to us, pastors, and respected. Others followed the example.” “What kind of spiritual trainings did You use? Because without special multi-stage meditative practices it is impossible to cognize the Creator and become Him. Did You have incarnate Divine Teachers? Or did each of You rely personally only on help and spiritual guidance of God?” “You do know this: We all were guided by Odin, like you are now.”* “But nevertheless, was there a succession through incarnate Divine Teachers?” “Not everyone had it. But Odin helped all exhaustively. “And concerning the techniques of meditation: it is possible to master very easily the whole highest buddhi yoga here, on this Holy Hill where you are now...” “How do You evaluate the Lutheran Church which is in Finland now?” “The conceptions of Christianity underlay exotericism of the Lutheran Church. And in the past it blended perfectly with that esotericism which was on the Finish land long before the coming of Christianity. “‘Crusades’ were, of course, destructive. But in contrast to Russia, where all the good which existed before was destroyed completely by the Inquisition, in Finland some things remained. “Lutheranism is one of healthiest, ‘democratic’ movements in Christianity. It does not consider the priesthood as the highest ruling caste. The thesis about ‘excuse solely by faith’ was proposed by Luther, i.e. the idea that a church is indispensable mediator between God and man was refused. “And such sound Christianity combined very harmonically with those esoteric knowledge which was on the Finish land from the earliest times.” “But is there in present Finland memory about this knowledge?” “That church is full value which has not only exoteric external forms, but also true esoteric knowledge. “However, you know how it is difficult to find man who is able to encompass both… Of course, the chain of the transmission of knowledge breaks sometimes… “We were Those Who had esoteric knowledge. “Official Lutheranism which exists now in Scandinavia is in general good, but the esoteric knowledge almost disappeared in it…” … Then the conversation was continued by Freddy.
