Russia

If you think that all these terrible perversions of the Teaching of Jesus Christ took place only in Catholic countries — you are not quite right. In Russia it was the same…

But let us start from looking at the Slavic history.

From the Slavic History

In legends of many European tribes, including the Slavs, there is a mentioning of a certain Arius, who was their ancestor. Most likely it was one of the Atlanteans, who begot the northern branch of the modern human race with light skin that is increasingly sensitive to the ultra-violet radiation, which is scarce at high latitudes. This is what gives the modern researchers the right to call all light-skinned people Aryans [14,45,89 and others].

Later on one part of Aryans migrated from Europe to America, while another one — moved south-east, to the territory of modern India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iran, and other countries, where they mixed with the aboriginal black-skinned people that lived closer to the equator.

The Slavs represent the Eastern branch of the Aryans. Their history is presented in “The Book of Veles” [14].

The ancient Slavs had an advanced religious culture. They knew about the Creator Who lives in His Abode, and Whom they called Svarog or Rod.

People also worshipped other individual Manifestations of God, which was based, apparently, on the specific knowledge of Them.

So, they worshipped Lada — the Goddess of Love (hence the Russian noun “lad” — which means harmony, and the verb “ladit’” — to get on well (with someone)).

They also worshipped Perun — God of military valor and courage.

Invoking Lada and attuning to Her one could learn to love tenderly, “from the heart”. Then they could achieve harmony in their families and to become more perfect in Love.

By getting attuned to Perun, identifying oneself with Him, filling one’s body with His might, and drawing on His courage one could develop the power aspect of the consciousness and to be more successful in repulsing the attacks of enemies.

It is these two qualities that the Slavs respected in people: 1) love, and 2) military valor.

The meditative attunement to Lada or Perun, asking Them for assistance in good deeds helped people to become more perfect.

And Surya — a female individual Manifestation of the Creator, similar to a tender sunlight — that does exist in reality! — was suggesting Herself as a model for attunement to the spiritual seekers who reached a high level of perfection. Today, Her task is the same — to help people to cognize Svarog and to realize the complete Mergence with Him.

All religious people can be classified into several groups depending on the object of their sincere (!) religious aspiration:

1. Those who seek the Creator.
2. Those, oriented towards Divine Teachers — Individual Manifestations of the Creator.
3. Those who perceive nature as the Living Force — in this case there emerge ideas of specific manifestations of this Force as “gods” of wind, rain, water, the sun, the moon, stones, lakes, etc., as well as of multitude of spirits who surround us, which is the case in reality. This form of religion pertains to people who live in harmony with wildlife and who have never heard about knowledge of a higher level.
4. Those who worship fictitious “gods” — fairy-tale personages or incarnate people who have not attained Divinity yet.
5. Those who worship spirits (including their own relatives).
6. Those who worship non-embodied evil beings for the sake of deriving personal benefit (usually — domination over other people)

All listed categories are always represented in each society. The factor that determines to which group an individual belongs, is first of all the age of the soul, but it also depends on the upbringing and the free will. Lifestyle also has a certain influence, as well as the environment. I.Zabelin made a good observation that nomads and hunters “chase nature”, whereas settled farmers live by caring about it. A farmer studies nature, he starts an “intelligent conversation” with it, giving it grain and expecting a harvest, for instance. “Nature is a temple of all-pervading life. Worshipping nature means worshipping phenomena of Life, not elements”.

People who made up Slavic tribes also were not of the same soul age, of course. The most evolutionarily advanced of them were members of esoteric schools headed by Divine Teachers. Adepts of such schools were called “volkhvy”. (Although not all who called themselves so were real advanced spiritual heroes. Among them were also insane people, deceivers, and even black magicians.)

In other words, we can see that Slavic religion was not primitive paganism at all, but rather a quite mature system, which possessed the knowledge about the Creator and quite concrete Divine Teachers, as well as methods of spiritual work used in esoteric schools.

Moreover, at that time Slavs did not know of alcohol; as a “holiday” drink they used so called “surya” — a “sunny” beverage, made of clabber, infused with herbs, with honey added. It was the Greek who got them addicted to alcohol later.

Another distinctive feature of the Slavs’ life of that time was that human body was not considered “shameful” (which later was introduced by Judaic-Greek pseudo-Christianity). This is evidenced by the fact that all men and women would take a bath together at the same time. “Christians” had not been able to extirpate this custom until the epoch of Peter the Great [77].

The Slavs first came to Eastern Europe as a single tribe. But this tribe grew and divided into separate clans, some of which migrated to new territories and settled there.

Southern coast of the Baltic Sea got populated by “Russian Varangians”, who engaged in sea fishery and trade.

Other clans settled in Southern prairies and became nomadic cattle-breeders (Scythians and others).

Therefore, we can see that because of the vast territory of settling apart, the cultural and religious homogeneity was hard to be expected among the Slavs after the passing of many centuries.
