Let us do our protective formula.

MARTIAL ARTS

(Lecture 1)

The person is born from the chaos of life and this is why in the world there is a lot of chaotic presence, but here Great Masters descend who are not from chaos, but from the Void, the Boundlessness. They have no future, they have no past, they are Ancient, Boundless beings – outside of this system of past and future. Here the person merges with the first Createdness, the Eternally Shining Thread called “The Great Way”, “The Ancient Way”. The Secrecy of the martial arts is one and one only: to become a True person – a person of Dao, a person of God. Those who do not have a special attitude towards Truth remain at a lower level called discipline, training, effort, etc.

Every occurrence is important, it comes in order for you to  overcome yourself and with this the person is enriched. For a true Master of martial arts the Essential thing regarding you is, is Truth precious to you? Not training, not discipline, the most important, the most Essential thing: How dear is Truth to you?

The Wise Master is a creator of the Essential in the person, they are a creator of Dao. First they have created it within themselves and with this they want to create it in the disciple, too.

Only Reality within us is the True Warrior, i.e. our Spirit, our Soul.

The Wise Master knows why people live after death as well – because they have missed Dao and so they live to be born again until they know It. Because Dao is not known through discipline only, Dao is known with Truth. And until then people will be living in the afterlife and descending again until they reach the Dao Essence.

The True Tradition – the True Tradition teaches you to live in the Essence of things.

The victory over life and death is a matter of Purified energy which turns into power, an overcoming power.

Tai Chi is a distinct dance of Life energy, the flow of your Solar Identity. This is your Divine Current. Every person has it. This is a wondrous harmony and Completeness that you have achieved with your own self. This is the Divine Current – if you have succeeded in attaining this Completeness. We are a part of this Great and Superb Completeness.

Purity within us – this is the Ancient, True Warrior. Otherwise we are only fighters who win and lose. Fighters have no connection to the Source, only the Pure Energy is the connection.

Such a thing has happened at the stakes, when in November we will be speaking of the Bogomils… Only a small diversion. At the stakes the beings of Love are summoned. Those who are summoned at the stake are determined for Entering into God and for a Rebirth in God. All others were punished to remain in the world and in the mind and to wonder what kind of world this is. Of course, without God it really is a wonder what kind of world it is at all.

Fighters have no connection to the Source, only the Pure energy, as I said, is the connection.

Humility – according to martial arts, Humility is Pure Chi, Pure energy, and because of this it is a death for evil. You cannot fight a person who has defeated themselves.

The person has to wield their energy, teach it, educate it, unfold it and purify it, because this is a Path towards your Self.

The True Warrior achieves the goal – Self-knowledge. And this means finding an entrance towards the Depths within yourself. And this place that you can reach within yourself is amazing – this is your Divinity, your Boundlessness. And then you start living like it, like the Boundlessness.

If you remember the command of the Atlantean Master, which we said years ago: “Never violate the Boundlessness within you”. This means: do not have such an act with which you violate, impede the Boundlessness. In here, you can see your Shining, your Uncreatedness – though inside the state of Being, – your Ancientness.

The Heart – the Heart is an Ancient Temple and within it is the Power of the True person and the True Warrior.

A Heart, which is a Temple, it is also a Sword. The Heart itself is Pure Spiritual Power.

The True Warrior – this is returning home, returning into the Boundlessness and this is attaining Dao, the so called True Way. When the warrior is in Dao, in the Boundless, they surpass all other states.

THE TRUE WARRIOR

(First idea for contemplation)

The True Warrior is an exceptional seeker of the Way, of Dao. They forget all, that others remember, in order to remember that, all others forget. The True Warrior is, because of this, a Sage, because they have tasted from the fine Substance of Dao. They feed only on very fine energies, they catch them with their Voidness, with their Boundlessness.

The Way of the True Warrior is a Fire, which burns along its way all lateral things, all attachments. This is what has happened at the stake: a total death of evil, of the smallest evil. A complete destruction of worldly thinking. This is another civilisation, another belief which we will uncover more and more.

When the Heart has long exercised in Purity, it returns into the Ancient Tradition called “chzhen”, i.e. Truthfulness.

The True Warrior is a loyal Spirit. Life is of little importance compared to possessing a loyal Spirit.

Lao Tzu says: Whoever has attuned to the Void, they clean the dark mirror within themselves. So, whoever has attuned to the Void they clear the dark consciousness from themselves.

Truthfulness is the Absolute Rhythm of the Universe, the Eternal Current of life.

The Way of the Warrior is the Way of self-achievement in Truth.

The Power of the True Warrior is soft and yielding, notice: like water – no one can defeat the water and wind. Soft and yielding, but it can wipe out everything in its path. This softness can wipe out everything in its path.

The Enlightened consciousness itself appears as an act which is above all other acts.

According to the Sages: the professional does not achieve the Goal, the Sage achieves it. The True Martial art is not a profession, it is Unconditional Love. A profession is not Love. Like some have turned faith into a profession. This is Love towards God, it has nothing to do with a profession. A profession is not Love and because of this it is an enemy of acquiring Truth. The professional does many things and, according to the Daoists, Truth is in not-doing.

I will explain: the Sage does not talk, does not act, does not think and with this they are different from other people. They reside in the Essence, in God, in Dao, in the Omnipresent. In here they become incapable of acting and doing. Here Dao does things. Not them but Dao does things. Dao does them in them and this means that the Void, the Boundlessness is an Eternal victor.

Similar is the Bogomils’ trust at the stake – to stand before the stake with an exceptionally big Humility and to let God decide – this is total Faith, total Trust. Whatever He decides is the best and He makes no mistake.

THE RIGHT ATTITTUDE

(Lecture 2)

The warrior is a warrior because they have tamed their ego, i.e. their death. Where there is ego, there is evil – it might be small, might be big, this is all the same – death.

In the Right Attitude there is no ego, no death and no sin, either. Such a thing says Christ too, in the apocryphs of Peter. Peter asks him: Is there sin? – Christ says: There is no sin, but if you act in a bad way, sin has already entered. – It does not exist, but if you act you already bring it in, you become a door.

The Right Attitude is the creator of the Eternal human. This attitude is not of the world but it happens in the world.

In the Right Attitude Eternity is preserved. This is why the Master says: One mistake, one wrong act and your whole philosophy ends. – Everything ends. This is the Teaching of the Toltecs as well. So much training Impeccability that in the end you become incapable… This same thing Christ learned with the Essenes. And in the end, the Essenes Master says of him: He achieved such a degree of Supremacy that he became incapable of doing wrong. – Such sacred acts, such approach – the ability to make mistakes is already lost.

The Right Attitude is not of the world, as I said. The Essence, Dao, is and is found in the Right Attitude. And in the Essence there is no death, no ego, no randomness.

The Right Attitude is the Eternal Attitude and the earthly attitude is sent here, to Earth, in order to learn. The Earthly attitude is sick, calculating, it is always looking for gain, and not for Truth. Because of this, it loses.

The Right Attitude is a Sword – within it Truth is the Sword. This is why a person can control their enemies through the Right Attitude, they can control chaos, they can control disasters too. The wrong attitude is connected to and is ruled by parasites – more or less entered inside, penetrated, invaded parasites.

The Right Attitude requires a very strict vigilance – this means to constantly be in the Spirit, in the Essence. To constantly see as a warrior, not as a person, but as a warrior. Not as a fighter either, but as a warrior. To see the moves of both the visible and the invisible enemies. The Essence sees them.

In the Right Attitude there is never any gain.

The Right Attitude is found within the Principle of things, it is a particular type of power, a particular kind of Spirit. The word “Principle” means both “power” and “Spirit” and “protection” – this is something much deeper than the word “law”. With the law and with rules there are exceptions, with the Principle there is no exception: you are either in the System of God and of Truth, or you are not. When you are in, you see.

Like that occurrence with Morihei: he fights 12 of his disciples in a dark room, he strikes them all. They neither see him, nor do they know how he acts. But he sees them and acts, because he is within the Essence. He has achieved the Essence, he has achieved the Principle, the Truthfulness of things.

The person has become a person when they have lost their Right Attitude and from Spirit they became mind, they became a person. Let us not talk about the happy person… I have told you, I will only remind you of the words of Al Hallaj: The most useless thing in the world is the happy person. It is very difficult to find something more useless. Sometime I will explain it in more detail, when we will speak of Al Hallaj.

Whoever has lost their Right Attitude, they have lost their Enlightenment as well.

Buddhism, how does it work? It does not seek holiness because this is a big mistake. This is, as a whole, a wrong goal, holiness. Buddhism looks for the Void, notice, the Boundlessness. It is not limited by holiness, it seeks the Boundlessness and in this way it enters very deeply into the Essence – where the saints cannot set foot. Besides, there is no need to go into a monastery, says Buddha, because if you start working on yourself very diligently you are already a monk. The end! It does not matter where you are. You are already a monk. God is not a saint. This would have been a great limitation, if He were a saint. God is Infinity, he is Voidness, Boundlessness.

The great and Unfathomable Observer knows who, and what for, has come to train martial arts, with what secret purpose. The True Warrior has come to attain the Truth and their Essence, to attain God, to attain Dao.

The Right Attitude – this is the Purest Virtue, called in Chinese “De”. This is an Ancient, Chinese, deep understanding of the Essence. And this has nothing to do with morality, because morality knows nothing of Completeness and of the Boundlessness. It ponders, it imagines that it has attained some purity, but morality is not a measure. Nor is holiness a measure. Boundlessness is a measure.

This Voidness, or the Great Completeness – this is the person shining within their Secret. Something which is above all rules, techniques, meditations, methods, discipline and some mere health.

One who is deprived of this Essence, this Completeness, they can never be a Master, they can never be a Sage.

Such a Sage does not always gather people around them. However, if they decide, they can gather them, but they observe God. Whenever it is God’s will. They do not insist on gathering people and they do not uphold people at all. But if God says so, they gather people around themselves when God’s will wants this.

Master Cheng says: Modern Wushu is in detriment because it deals not with the Spirit of Wisdom, not with the Essence, but with some strengthening of the health. – And from this, you miss both health and Wisdom, because the goal is wrong.

I will explain.

First: the presence of health is never a Pure presence, it is never Boundlessness, it is never Voidness, it never means that the person is Spirit. This presence is not Spiritual.

Second: health which is without Truth, without God, without Essence, without the Right Attitude, it will be destroyed. It was wrongly created and it will be destroyed. Why? So that the person can contemplate and learn when they become healthy again, how to use their health. Health is given so that you serve God and not for lateral, secondary things. Health without Truth is a treacherous road, a long, dark and impenetrable night.

And third: the Sage has, firstly – Truth, Essence. Then they have a Secret Heart – a Deep, Sacred Heart (in time we will talk of the Teaching of the Heart according to Egypt). And after that, in the end they have health, it comes naturally. They do not seek it but health comes, because true health is where the Truth and Purity are. With them, things are in their right order: not health first and then Purity and Truth. It is strictly determined: Truth, Purity and health comes as a consequence.

PEACE

(Second idea for contemplation)

Peace is Peace because within it, thoughts are absent.

Peace is Essence, it is the Essence of this Boundlessness, and movement is only a means of the existence of this Boundlessness that is limiting itself.

Peace in itself is Completeness and liberation. Besides this, Peace is also a cure from Paradise, not to mention hell.

Peace is the ultimate image of every activity. Peace is an Ancient self-knowledge.

Peace is the completeness of the Wise person and this is the end of the world. Whoever has achieved this Peace, they have removed the world. They are done with the world and they have returned and this end of the world is very beautiful, because they have returned into the Uncreatedness.

This is what the Pure Bogomils chose as well. Just imagine: the impure ones, the people of the Church, cast a curse on the Pure ones, cast a curse on the Bogomils and on God within them. Imagine what an enormous fall… but as I said, we will speak of this in November.

The Sage carries within them Peace and Depth which are not found in the martial arts, nor in the world. They carry within themselves Dao and therefore they can lead and help, but according to the way Dao wants.

Here in Peace all movements die, they have originated from it and they die in it. Peace is the matrix, the mother of all movement, it is the Ancient state.

A momentary and True experiencing of Peace, according to the Daoists, dilutes time for a year. So if you manage to enter – not a state of calmness, of common peace we are not even talking at all – but a state of Peace… Peace is from the Soul, common peace is from the mind – it always makes peace treaties but it has no peace within itself. Peace is a Secret of the Spirit. Only one small experience of Peace – time is diluted for a year. For one year you are no longer under the influence of time if you experience a true small moment of the Secret of Peace.

The Pure approach is something which merges with the Peace of Eternity. This is what has to be accumulated in order to become worthy, say the Daoists, for Peace to gaze upon you.

The True weapon of the Pure warrior is “chzhen” in Chinese, this means Truthfulness. This includes mainly four things: first – the Word; second – Power (not energy); third – reverence, and fourth – veneration. Four extremely important things which are observed by the Sages: The Word, Power, reverence and veneration.

The True Warrior is born of the formidable Core of Truth. And Peace is a measure of True knowledge – this is a measure, this is a diagnosis, a Supreme measure for True knowledge.

Peace is not a quality of knowledge, nor of the mind. Peace is Purely Spiritual, it is a connection to the Boundlessness and to the Essence. It is radiated only by Truth.

Peace is the place of concentrated Purity and concentrated Pure Life energy.

If a person is incapable of silence, they will reach neither Silence, nor Peace. When you are in Pure silence, you can listen and when you are in the Quiet, you merge, and then you can disappear into Peace as well. From Silence you cannot pass directly into Peace, you have to enter the Supreme Quiet and it has to allow you to disappear into Peace.

Within this great Peace nothing is born, say the Daoists. This is the place of un-birth. This is the place of Uncreatedness.

THE WISDOM OF MARTIAL ARTS

(Lecture 3)

Zen says: the True comprehension of martial arts is called “An exclusion of everything which veils the True life and the True knowledge”.

The Sage carries within themselves the Spirit of lightness. Whatever happens – says Chuang Tzu, – it is always light for the Sage. They have no burden, they carry no burden, they are not created.

And so, Chuang Tzu says: What is light is always true. Lightness – there is no matter, no weight. Lightness – Spirit and Soul.

The Sage sees inside the Secret of Life and they know that everything, that is happening, is always the best; no exception, this is how Dao acts, this is how God acts.

In Ancient China it was not important what a person is – such a matter is not observed – but what their Wisdom is.

The Sage does not become wise from philosophy and from ideas but from their relation to them, from their approach, from their Sacred approach towards things. Not pondering, not a notion, not philosophy, not quotes – Sacred relations to things.

The Sage is outside of techniques and rules, they see in Spirit because the Sage is Spirit, they are not a person. You may think, if you encounter a Sage, that they are a person – this is a mistake. They appear as a person but they are not a person.

The Ideal of the Warrior-Sage is peculiar, it is never knowledge, it is never creativity, they do not aim to leave marks, they do not want to be any authority. Their purpose is to feed, i.e. – they feed on Dao, on the Essence, they feed on Truth and this is their complete food. In this way they feed on the Completeness of life. This is why they love everything and this is why they really give way to the ant, like the Master gave way to that little worm and said: “This is a future White Brother in development”. True reverence – this is the approach. They are able to enjoy the Ancient Primordial life, before the Cosmos has been, from then still – they are able to enjoy.

The Sage draws life from their Heart, from their Sky. They do not take and they do not steal energy from other’s hearts; they have no such skill. They are self-sufficient in themselves, because they act purely. They have a connection with the Source within themselves. They feed on Peace and this Peace is not some musings, but this Peace is Life.

In Daoist language the word “Life” means “A meeting of the Boundlessness with the Boundlessness” – a meeting of the human Spirit with the Divine Spirit; a meeting of Essence with Essence, they have met. Daoist Wisdom is a matter of approach. The Master says, expresses this so: Your Heart you will address as “My friend”, your mind as “My slave”, Your will as: “My mighty and beautiful Sword”, and towards your Soul… – now much more reverently, the Master says, towards it – as “Master Gracious” – because it is a part of the Secret of God Himself – the Supreme Soul.

 The True Master and Sage has no reactions, they have Non-doing, i.e. Eternal behaviour, behaviour of the Boundlessness, approach of Eternity and approach of the Boundlessness. They follow Dao and therefore they are constantly renewed.

One small and insignificant thing, according to the Daoists can cast you far away. One small and wrong act can cast you far away. This small thing, according to the Daoists and according to the Toltecs, is a mighty adversary.

This is called neigong and it is a Secret inner achievement, i.e. if you succeed to act in such a way: imperceptible but Pure. But if you make a mistake the Rightness is already broken. However, if you know how to act imperceptibly and Purely – behind the person’s back, exceptionally Pure – there is Nobility, there is the teaching of the Daoists. This is an achievement of which the Master hinted too, but as a whole it is not to be commented on, because the matter is of a concealed, incredible ability; because the more Secret a certain Purity is, the Mightier it is.

Sometime I will explain to you why God… He could have imposed the Bogomils, could have made them very powerful to enforce them in the world, but He does not want this way. Because He has created Truth in such a way – I am only giving a small hint here – that God Himself does not violate it. It is created in such a way that He cannot violate it, because… even, if He violates it, He will lose a part of His Almightiness, from His Great power; and so He does not want to enforce Himself in this world.

The True warrior is an Abyss of vital Wisdom. Wisdom itself – this is an ability to preserve Peace and clarity, two things.

The Sages say: Behind the Right Attitude there is always a secret additional Power, and the wrong attitude is a cast veil of darkness and dark. The wrong attitude is self-devouring – this is an approach of the ego.

The Toltec warrior is loyal to Impeccability. This Impeccability is a blow against all parasites, against it all of terrorism is helpless, this is the way for terrorism to disappear – Impeccability.

I have explained, I will tell you again: terrorism is not an Islamic curse, it is God’s curse. This is, I will tell you further in September or October, this is the Divine Wrath in action. Never judge it because in time you will enter into this Wrath. You do not know what God is doing. You do not know His Secret good. Never judge the Divine Wrath because all those who judge it and disapprove of it, this wrath will draw them in and something very much worse that I do not want to say. Never judge God, He acts everywhere, and more precisely than the poor human comprehension can imagine.

The parasites have an ancient fear of Impeccability. In Atlantis this Impeccability was called “The Sword of Truth” – this is another concept of Impeccability. Behind this Sword acted, according to the Toltecs, The Eagle or The King of Power who we call God.

The Ancient Gods were teaching the Toltecs Impeccability and therefore the Path of the True Warrior is a History of Immortality, because here you are Truthful. Because you are Truthful the Spirit of Immortality is teaching you.

The Impeccable ones became immortal and the immortal ones had no death, hence the word “Immortality”, i.e. without death.*

*Translator’s note: In Bulgarian the word for ‘’immortality’’ is composed of the words ‘’without’’ and ‘’death’’.

The warrior of the Right attitude has returned into their Spirit.

WISDOM

(Third idea for contemplation)

The Path of the Truthful person is a Path towards Boundless Wisdom, but they never stop learning. And all the rest must wage war with their ancient past – this is the personal diversion from Truth. This is the heavy past of the person, this is fate, this is karma – the personal diversion from Truth.

Takuan Soho says: Achieve your inner Sword, your inner warrior – this is Truthfulness.

The Sage says: From one thing know ten thousand things. – So from one little detail know endless things.

The world “Toltec” is a great, Ancient word – I explained it some time ago. In Anciency only the one who succeeded to see the Eagle, the Essence, they had the right to call themselves “Toltec”. A direct sight of God, face to face, they call it “The Eagle”, only then can you be called ‘’Toltec’’ and bear that name.

The Toltecs say: Walk unswervingly – this is the Way.

The one who has seen the Essence has become Essence. This is why Hermes says: You can know God only when you have become God.  – And by birth we are Gods and we are immaculate, not sinful but Primordially immaculate. This is our Origin. If you want to see the Truth, become Truth.

Musashi says: Gaze at that, which others do not gaze at, take up that, which no one takes up.

And then he says: The one who is able to defeat their enemy, never battles. – They have such a presence, I have told you: God has no adversaries. He never will.

The True warrior defeats without killing.

The Mastery is within yourself, not in shooting the bow.

The arrow strikes the target only when it is in harmony with Truth – this is the Great Law, i.e. your arrow has to hit the Heart of God and come into this Eternity, this Essence – this means shooting right.

If you succumb to any weakness – says Musashi – you become a dead person. – The true Sage constantly considers Truth, the Primordial Power, in this way they constantly pursue Strength, because of likeness to God.

Musashi says also: I met a powerful warrior with faith and I asked him: – Does faith purify you from weaknesses? – And he bowed to me. His faith had not purified him from weaknesses.  I met many people of the lie and I saw that my Truth of the Way was as a curse to them. My Path towards Truth was to them like a curse.

Ego always lives in the danger of its own knowledge. Your knowledge – says Musashi – can turn out being your enemy. – You think you know, you even think that your knowledge is right – a very dangerous and treacherous enemy because it very much hinders you to reach Humility.

You must very clearly – says Musashi – see knowledge as a dangerous adversary, because it is not Love, it is not Wisdom, it is knowledge. If you see it clearly you will overcome it. If you do not see it it will guide you downwards.

All those who cannot overcome the foe named ignorance, they are dead people.

The adversary only exists if you feed them with power, if you consider them strong. The adversary is only strong when they draw power from you. If they succeed in making you think of them often, then your power will flow into them and you lose more and more power.

And says Musashi: I met people with strong faith but they did not have Great Loyalty. They were already ruined.

The goal is not to defeat your enemies, the goal – says Musashi – is to defeat the devil inside you.
