Maenuel
(Alexander Svirsky)
“Maenuel, tell us, please, about Your last incarnation. In
particular, how did You realize, recall the Unity with the Father? Or did You
know this from the beginning, from the childhood?”
“No, not from the beginning… It took a lot of time to unite My new body with the
realization of Who I am…
“Since early childhood, I had been seeking this Unity, the memory of which lived
somewhere in the great depth… I sought Him! And this led Me to an Orthodox
monastery. But My spiritual mentor ― a sincere and kind man who taught Me
humility, obedience, and meekness ― could not answer those questions which gave
no rest to the soul: he could not show Me the way to the United Father, because
he himself did not know Him…
“Because of asceticism, which gave no results, because of the suggested ideas of
inaccessibility of the Creator, of impossibility to cognize Him, and because of
the doctrine of everlasting peccability of man in front of Him, in which I was
taught, I was almost on the point of despair…
“Later on, having not found answers among people, I directed My eyes and My love
only to Him.
“I asked for the permission and went to a forest… Here I was alone… And I
strived for Him incessantly…
“… And one day ― in the moment of the strenuous exertion of the soul, which
broke free from a cage, from a dungeon, I left the body like a stuffy cell and
‘fell’ into His Light…
“He was Endless, Living! And Everything was created by Him in the Eternal
Radiance of His Light, Everything was filled with Him and based on Him!...
“It was the Ocean of Love and Calm! And I also became this Ocean!
“I did not want to return back. I swam to the body and swam off again,
submerging into the long-awaited Unity, Coessentiality, and into the state of
dissolving in Him…
“The Ocean called Me by the very familiar name:
‘Maenuel!...’
“And I recollected My previous path to Him.
“… An endless expanse of Manchurian steppes, joy and freedom! Running horses,
with manes streaming in the wind, and the boy, united with the horse, are flying
above the waving sea of grasses!... I recollected the monastery in the
mountains, wise teachers, and the expanse between the sky and earth with a
carpet of gentle vermilion poppies. I recollected the state, which flooded all
My being ― the state of inexpressible love to the Earth, to all what exist on
it, to His Creation! I recollected the meditations of Mergence with Him and for
what I am here for now…
“… Then I returned to the body…
“I built a monastery on the place where I attained the Unity with Him again. And
I tried to give people that Knowledge and that Love which lived in Me now… But
it was similar to the oceanic waves which, with their transparent water, caress
the shore stones, but cannot transmit to them the infinity of the depths…
“I had some disciples… Among them, there were real ones, but the rest were
mostly children in adult bodies whom I taught by My own example: to carry water,
to chop firewood, and at least to recollect about Him sometimes…
“… I left the imperishable body on the Earth. But it is such a pity that most of
pilgrims seek healing for their bodies near it! And only so few see the Ray of
the Light of Spirit, the Ray of Love which is the Way to the Father!
Realize how great the wealth which you collected is: the methods of growth from
the state of human, living as a body, to the realized Divinity! I wished I’d had
similar methods!... Give them to people! Give the entire Ocean of Creator’s Love
to them!
“I am with you! I am beyond each word of you! I am ― in your activities ―
continuing My Service on the Earth!
Yours Maenuel
