THE TEACHING ABOUT PARASITES

(Lecture 1)

Parasites have their own secret history outside of the development of organisms. The main door for the parasites remains the ego because every inadequate act is a participation of these parasites. This act is an entry.

An impure and contaminated consciousness merges with the parasites and it can no longer live without them. They feed each other. I am giving two examples right away: one case with a woman I know, she goes to the market and says: Set this and this, and this, aside for me… I do not want anything! – and she leaves. She charges herself but this will cost her dearly. Another case: a man walks into a small bookstore, two women inside are talking, one of them is holding a small dog. He says: what is this big dog, it scares me! – he walks out and they start talking about him, they are feeding him and they do not know this is his way of draining energy. But these are people who have no Source, they have lost something and they are looking for things like this. So you must be vigilant, to know how to help them secretly and to not become attached to words.

Parasites are penetrating. They can enter on the inside and shape desires, interests, moods and all sorts of plans for your life. The worst is when the parasites enter into the consciousness and they start to rule its behaviour.

According to the Toltecs humankind cannot understand that it has become food for a very old fallen civilisation of parasites, which originates from the second subrace of Atlantis – Tlavatli (some time ago we spoke a little of them, in time we will speak more. This is the second subrace, in which the Martians entered – they are in unity with the Martians. Later this race became even stronger through the fourth and most dangerous race – the Proto-Turanians) …and that the battle with this parasitic civilisation is still ongoing. It is known today not as Tlavatli but as The tree of knowledge of good and evil – simply the name is different.

The healing of this parasitic civilisation is only one – through Impeccability – here we are speaking from the viewpoint of the Toltecs. Of course, for us it is formulas, purification, nobility, especially pure acts in all conditions, but for the Toltecs it was this method – Impeccability.

According to the Toltecs, the person themselves, because of their own lack of understanding, allows the parasites to divert them from the Right Way. And so through many allowances the parasites become stronger, they take over the will and the intentions of the person and they re-program the person.

When a person makes a very firm decision to walk in the Way of Truth, they already have the key for the gradual paralysing of all parasites.

Once you have fallen in your words and in the word, then more or less you have already been possessed and overtaken.

Thought is unpronounced word and once you pronounce it, it already affects both your thinking and your actions, and this is why you must be careful and observe every thought, every word – not the ones coming towards you – that does not matter, – but what comes out of you. As we will talk later of perception – it does not matter what is happening on the outside, but what you perceive. Because the impure word, when you allow it, it changes you – you already have no choice. It will influence you and it will change your way of thinking until it leads you into ruin.

There are parasites that use the energy of your words and give a totally different direction of that energy, they change it. You wanted to say one thing and something else happened, i.e. people have fallen into the parasites, in the insidiousness of these backward spirit beings. These parasites are capable of ruining the energy of words and of giving a completely new direction.

Criticism – this is another parasite-destroyer. Recently I heard: “A lot of rain”, a lot of things… This is so elementary! Are you not happy that there are no earthquakes and it is only raining, for example? Many things can be said, but anyway – simple things. Besides, whatever happens, the important thing is that you are centred in God, there the perception is different. So, criticism is a dangerous destroyer which slowly disfigures life. This is why in the Bible it is said: Do not judge, i.e.: preserve your consciousness pure.

The Toltecs say that this parasite – criticism – gradually writes for the person The book of hell. This parasite produces many words, words-parasites. These are words from which the person must guard themselves because they rob their path, they rob their development, they shift it. The critical person destroys themselves, they are easily reprogrammed to failure and fall. They travel both in and out in mitote, i.e. in chaos. When the person uses impure and cynical words the parasites have entered into them – they are talking – of course, with the person’s voice and the person is infected. In this way the parasites are diligently working for the person’s fall.

Parasites like to make people set aside a lot of time for trivial things – another of their strategies – a lot of time for trivial things, secondary, tertiary, and also to buy many useless things. All of this is for the ones who are not in control of themselves.

Parasites are also bringers of dissatisfaction, greed, disapproval, worrying, because they themselves have lost their Essence. They have a mind but they do not have an Essence, they have no Soul and therefore they are looking for victims.

What removes the parasites most is Love. The Toltecs say: Love leaves Pure white traces in other people and in other beings as a whole – animals too, etc.

PERCEPTION

(First idea for contemplation)

Emotion originates from the inferiour soul, perception originates from the Supreme Soul, and intuition is a Current from the Spirit.

Emotions and feelings can never bring serenity, they have no reach. Perception is something else. Perception is another thing. Perception is calmed by intuition. It has a wide reach.

Perception is a spiritual ability, not a psychic one, and therefore through it you may create life within yourself.

The Pure perception is a Supreme expression of the Soul, it is the Sound of the Soul, while intention is even deeper, it has deep roots within the Spirit.

Emotions and feelings fall. Why? Because they have some limited aims. We are speaking of the Toltecs who are great observers, who speak specifically from experience. Emotions and feelings have limited aims, while perception is all-encompassing, it can capture even the inexplicable and even instill it in itself.

Perception requires that you have realisation, Soul. Perception is the Pure and immortal dwelling of the Soul itself.

What you perceive, say the Toltecs, is what is brought to life within you. What you do not perceive is what dies.

Through the emotions and feelings knowledge is accumulated, and through perception the person realises their own Soul. With the Toltecs this is called Il Namiki – reaching the spiritual remembering, a seeking inward, a seeking of yourself within yourself.

With the emotions and feelings you have neither True knowledge, nor Pure energy and even while you supposedly understand things or you speak them, you do not have Pure knowledge and you do not possess Pure energy – the perception is not there, i.e. the Soul. Therefore you cannot transform yourself; you talk much, but there is no transformation.

Parasites are incapable of perceiving Pure and Supreme currents of ideas, thoughts and influence, because they have given up and they have separated themselves from the Essence and from self-knowledge. According to the Toltecs once you have chosen Tezcatlipoca, i.e. the false, the illusion in your life, then you will be persuaded by the parasites to perceive the illusion. They will persuade you, the parasites, to perceive the illusion in the world and you will have no perceptions of reality.

For the Toltecs the Pure perception is a strengthening of the Pure consciousness within the person. And the Pure consciousness is the immune system of the person – the True, Primordial immune system.

What you perceive, say the Toltecs, is what is brought to life within you. What you do not perceive is what dies. It does not matter if it is something True or something else – what you do not perceive – you are removed from it and it dies.

Perception decides what will live and what will die. To have the ability of perceiving a certain thing is a matter of Depth and spirituality, a matter of self-awareness and Impeccability. And as I said: it does not matter what events are conspiring – heavy, light or very light – the Essential thing is what you perceive. If you are Impeccable you will perceive only Divine things. Like in the case of Al Hallaj, he says: There is only one nation! Whoever believes there are many nations, they do not know Allah. – etc, etc.

I will divert for a bit before I continue with the second lecture about parasites. Al Hallaj says, next time we will speak of him, but I want to hint something here: Golgotha and the inquisition – I saw in them God’s fragrance. – Take note, I will not dwell on it because next time I will speak more of this, I will only hint: Golgotha, according to Al Hallaj, this is the other name of God. This is an exceptional honour – to have Golgotha sent to you. This is the special Love of God towards you. He is choosing you for Himself, He is separating you from the world, separating you from death, separating you from the transient and perishable, and because of His great Love, as Golgotha is a fierce Mercy – Mercy of a very high degree of which we have no notion – He is choosing you and taking you to Himself. This is how Al Hallaj perceives, but we will speak of him next time, as the matter is of the greatest Sufi.

THE TEACHING ABOUT PARASITES

 (Continued)

The parasites work very finely and imperceptibly. Regardless of whether the person calls themselves “overachieving”, the parasites are working secretly within them and digging.

Another dangerous parasite is pride because it turns both health and happiness, and success into punishment. Again I will make a small diversion because I am reminded of Al Hallaj. He says: the proud person – this is a little better than the happy person. And he explains this masterfully because he has True knowledge. He says: both the proud person and the happy person are living together with a snake, but the proud person gets hurt quicker. Suffering comes quicker to them, while with the happy person the snake is sleeping for a very long time.

This parasite – pride – is especially dangerous, even more so when it is clothed as and imitating humility. It presents itself as humble but this is treachery. Only the one who has achieved True humility will distinguish it very easily, for the others it will be more or less difficult.

Because of the parasites the lives of many people are built on false notions. And the Master Himself says: Of all that you dream about, nothing will come true. – God has a much better plan for people and it is very good that it is so. Another time we will speak of the Master in this connection.

The Toltecs say: Anyone who has not firmly and totally loved Truth, they have lost their right understanding of things. In this way they have closed their path and the parasites have entered into them.

The illusion satisfies only young and immature consciousnesses, inexperienced seekers of Truth.

Some have chosen knowledge and information as the goal of life. This is another dangerous parasite because knowledge and information, say the Toltecs, can never replace Love and Impeccability – they can never replace them. And this parasite has become very clever. It has infiltrated into information in order to satisfy itself – not to develop, but to satisfy itself. This is the way in which the eternally anxious mind is created.

The widest entry for the numerous parasites, as I said, remains the ego. This is a door wide open. The ego is a kingdom in which no sight can penetrate, say the Toltecs. The ego is a dark kingdom, murky water. It is interested in both the lie and the delusions even when it talks a lot of culture.

The Toltecs knew through experience that the ego is never vested in Truth.  It has no such purpose and therefore it never overcomes the illusion. On the contrary, it affirms itself more and more in the illusion. Recently I met an old friend of mine and he told me: Of everything you speak, I believe you about nothing! – Well done, there are no problems! Just a smile and joy, of course I know the reasons, but I am telling him nothing. I have all sorts of friends, of every kind, and I love all of them.

The ego is always triumphant in the illusion and this is its downfall – the ego is always accumulating inferiour energy through which it fails. It does not matter what it accomplishes, it always fails.

Parasites are, as I said, remnants of ancient worlds, evil from the past which must be worked through. Evil that we must work through inside ourselves. The parasites like it when the person is mental and not spiritual – pondering, trying to be wise etc, but not being spiritual. They know that the mental person cannot meet with reality, whatever happens to them they cannot meet reality. I know of such cases: even when reality appeared to him he thought that this is a hallucination. Of course, he has no perception.

Parasites look upon the idea of God, of purpose, of self-awareness, with mockery, but this mockery is a sign of a long and very serious sickness, a sickness of the consciousness. One of the worst things is that these parasites have managed to rob, according to the Toltecs, a deep part of the consciousness of the person, too. So not only from the body, from the mind and from the heart, they have also reached to the consciousness as well and they have managed to rob a big part of the consciousness. And the Pure place in the consciousness is a place for the higher ideas. In this way the person begins to lose their balance, their faith, and they start to build shallow plans for their life. Today humankind as a whole is a humankind that has been lied to and this was accomplished by the parasites coming from Atlantis and acting now, as well.

For the Toltecs all events which are happening are energy events, energy circumstances.

Whoever serves evil, say the Toltecs, they cannot be treated. They are doubly sick, they can only be cured by the parasites.

The goal of the parasites is to instill that the purpose of life is material and not spiritual. Of course, this is why there are people having 7 apartments, an apartment with 144 rooms, but there loneliness invades, and the parasites etc.

Having lost the spiritual, the person tries to replace it with the material. I always smile at this because this is like missing health and trying to replace it with sickness – there is just no sense – wanting to replace health with sickness.

The big pandemics are relations between the parasites and people. This is mutual life between people and parasites. This is called ‘’big pandemics’’. Big pandemics are a peculiar meeting of two different civilisations which have a point of interaction.

For the Toltecs all events which are happening are energy events. I will tell you, even conversations between people – this is an exchange of energy, of words, of beings. This is why with some person you feel burdened and with others not so – it depends on what type of consciousness you are speaking with, what exchange there is. So energy events, energy circumstances.

The battle between religions and teachings is also the work of parasites. In fact, there is no battle but people are battling on the lower levels when they have not understood their teachings. Because in every teaching, in its Pure part, God is there and there is Unity. Everywhere there are True teachings, they are all of the same Root. And this is why Christians do not like Mohammad, do not like Lao Tzu etc., others do not like others because they do not have an open perception, they do not have a vastness of consciousness. And within Christianity itself there is a battle as well, because the parasites are everywhere. But I must remind again – there is true orthodox Christianity, I have presented something from it, further in time I will present a deeper part. But there are not simply “Christians” there – this is Christ and the disciples, these are the Gnostics, this is Melchizedek, this is Meister Eckhart, Jacob Boehme – Primordial, True, Purified, Deep consciousness. This is a whole different kind and it is Primordial, and of course, to some extent, as I have told you before, some saints also take part but only to some extent. Sometime I will explain to you why they are not yet True in Christianity.

What must be understood, according to the Toltecs, is not the sacred scriptures – in this case let us say the bible – but Impeccability and the Pure Life. So there is something more important, the bible you will leave aside, it is truly something secondary.

Pure Life is something primary. When you purify yourself you will have the right to study the bible correctly and all the sacred scriptures of the nations. And you will study them, but in the right way.

IMPECCABILITY

(Second idea for contemplation)

Through perseverance in Impeccability the Toltecs gradually accumulate a Mighty Supreme energy, Pure energy. And when the Eagle, i.e. God (called the Eagle for them) gives them the condition, i.e. a heavy occurrence, they jump beyond the world and beyond the universe. They receive a gap between the worlds and they exit the limitations. Through this accumulation they overcome all the kinds of parasites – both external and internal, created and uncreated. And the Toltecs become a part of the Secret of the Eagle because they have chosen the Eagle and the Eagle has chosen them.

I will explain: if a person does not have an aware and Pure intent they do not need to accumulate energy. Why? Because then it will destroy them. It is like an alcoholic amassing a lot of money, a big vault or something similar. An alcoholic does not have something to do, they are not masters of themselves and other beings-parasites will spend their money. And the Master even says: It is others that are drinking, not the alcoholic – it is completely other beings that are drinking in the person and the person is paying the bills.

The Impeccable one has no perception of death and therefore it does not exist. If the Impeccable one were to perceive death it would exist, but they have no perception. The Eagle takes this perception away from them. And I will say it again: what exists is what you perceive; what you do not perceive – it has been removed.

I will clarify something here, I will divert for a bit: A woman I knew had a sickness some time ago – cancer. She said: I do not believe! – She wants to not perceive it, to lie to herself. No, cancer – you have it – you must take serious internal measures, not act indifferent. You must work out a strategy and so on. Sometimes you may act indifferent and remove something but this is up to a point. But if you take serious inner precautions then cancer may very easily leave. Many people have removed it but this is a matter of Pure intention and another direction of development.

Impeccability is part of the Eagle and therefore in it there is no perception of death. Here the parasite of death is removed because through Impeccability you are aware of the Worlds of the Eagle and not of the fallen worlds. This way has nothing in common with stagnation.

I will divert again for a bit, even though this is in the next lecture and I will repeat it to you next time: A Sufi-Sage wanted to give a lecture to Sufi-children. Not indigo children, they are far from the Truth – I mean Sufi-children. So he said: today I shall speak to you of the end of the world and of Judgment day. The children started screaming very loudly: Hooray! – very loudly, a big joy – the lecture was ruined. How would you speak to imperishable beings? You can threaten the earthly ones, even without threatening them they are scared, but how would you speak to imperishable spiritual beings, what lecture of the end of the world? They live in the Sufi-place, i.e. in the Pure place, there such things do not have an effect. To the world you can speak a lot of nonsense, it does not matter.

The mental stagnation in the person – this is a sum of parasites with their opinions. They have their formed opinions in the person. So some time, if you think that you are talking with the person – no, you are talking with the other beings.

The Toltec always observes and examines every act of theirs very vigilantly because only in this way does perception lead them in, towards the Secret of the Eagle, into the Secret of Truth.

The one who devotes themselves to Impeccability, according to the Toltecs, they become dark for the parasites. The parasites begin to lose them, they begin to not see them properly and lose them more and more because light, Purity, are dark for these parasites.

According to the Toltecs outside of Impeccability – sciences, religions and teachings are illusory. So without this Purity, without this Impeccability, whatever science you are involved in, whatever medicine you are involved in…

In time I will speak to you of Paracelsus, an exceptional being – a heavenly doctor, but he is simultaneously a scientist, a Sage, a Mystic and a Rosicrucian; he wanted for God to make him a True doctor and he knows such things about the secrets of medicine, which, if all the doctors in the world were to gather, excluding the Great Masters, it is not certain if they would know even 1/10th of what he does, or 1/100th. Because this is a being who knew what exactly to devote himself to. But he is much more than a doctor and this is why he has both visible and secret successes and God has really elevated him highly because he knew his own intentions. Besides, he knows secrets of the Ether which the scientists do not know. He knows secrets of the gnomes, the undines, the salamanders, as a whole of the spirits, and he knows when to introduce the Word into a medication and when not to, etc. In time I will make you familiar with this exceptional being, a very rare Sage and Mystic… So according to the Toltecs, outside of Impeccability, whatever else you are occupied with, this is illusion.

The Toltec always observes and examines every act of theirs very vigilantly because only in this way does perception lead them in towards the Secret of the Eagle into the Secret of Truth. And the Master has said in one place: One wrong action and your whole philosophy ends. – But I am a follower of Deunov, I am such and such… It makes no difference – one wrong action… This is why the person must train this. Why an action? Because the action is the fruit of thoughts and feelings, it is something which has ripened in the thoughts and feelings and it appears as action. And when it is wrong, it shows what your thoughts are, what your feelings are, what is… a whole chain of things.

Precisely here (the matter is of Impeccability) you reach this Ancient perception, called with the Toltecs The Third Ring of Power. This means, this Ring – a total destruction and removal of all evil. A total destruction in the sense of removal. Only the one who has reached this perception, The Third Ring, has achieved the measure of the word culture. The word “culture” in the Atlantean language means Imperishableness, Primordiality. From here culture starts, everything else is common talk of culture.

When Confucius saw the eyes of Lao Tzu he saw this Culture and he was frightened. Those were the eyes of the Abyss, the eyes of Dao, he could not bear them. He had a mental culture, he upheld being humane, he upheld humanity but he did not have the Truth within himself, which means that he was very far from the True Culture. Even though in a certain sense he is a Sage. In time I will explain to you: he is a Sage but he is not yet in the Right Way. There are many types of Sages and many levels.

Languages are over 6700 but they cannot explain The Third Ring of Power because this Ring is a Secret from the Abyss, a Key from the Abyss, i.e. it comes from the Secret Origin. With the Toltecs this is called The Seventeenth Sky.

PROVERBS AND SAYINGS OF ATLANTIS

(Lecture 3)

The Wise one strikes evil without destroying it.

The Wise one is an undefined clarity.

The person is of Supreme worlds but when they do not know themselves, they are of this world.

The Wise one is a seeker of the Undefined, i.e. the Boundlessness.

The person is born, say the Toltecs, in order to become an unriddler of themselves. Not to solve riddles – an unriddler of themselves.

Wise is the one who in dark days glows and shines. – In dark days, not in joyful days – in dark days they glow and shine. This is a measure for Wisdom.

Whoever allows evil in themselves is incapable of living. – I.e. this ability is already lost. I will add: the matter is, according to the Master, of the smallest evil – if there is the smallest evil, there is already death and parasites.

Violence chains the person in the shackles of the grave. – So anyone who has allowed violence, they are chained in their body, their fate is heavy.

Say the Toltecs: If you are seeking the Truth you must go all the way to the end. – Not to seek it to some extent and say: there is no Truth. You must go all the way to the end.

The Wise one is not interested in the sun but in the Dark in which they can rise and shine. – In the sun you cannot shine, but in the Dark, Golgotha etc – this is your noble moment.

There is nothing more important in life that this – to meet in your Way an Ancient person.

The Wise one is composed of that which they have given in their past. -So not what they have studied, the Wise one is composed of what they have given in their past.

Wise is the one who in dark days glows and shines.

Many people talk, but Wisdom is a rarity.

When the Truth has begun living within you, you are already Boundlessness.

The Wise one surpasses any fall and any ascent. The Wise one does not depend on them. – And this is why I greatly approve when Lao Tzu says: No heroes exist! He totally denies heroism and he is completely right. Many of the heroes, almost all heroes and feats, at a higher degree have not achieved self-awareness. They have fought against something else but not with themselves and their parasites, their weaknesses, especially the hidden weaknesses.

In order to do good, you must be of the Boundlessness.

If you want to keep one secret – never know it completely.

Air is honey for the fish if it is allowed to know it. – So air is an environment of a higher degree, but if it is allowed; if the fish has Love – to it air is an elixir, otherwise – air is death.

When the impure one becomes knowledgeable, they fail. – Here I will only divert for a bit, Al Hallaj says: When the impure one speaks reasonably they will be punished. There is no forgiveness, because they are speaking something else, something which is not their Essence. When the impure one becomes knowledgeable they fail their own Way.

A well concealed lie always receives a knife in its heart.

Without the Truth the person is a boat with no bottom.

Whoever is in the Ancient Way, they do not have mitote in themselves, i.e. do not have the world in themselves, do not have chaos.

Whoever succeeds in penetrating into fear brings courage out of it. – So if you manage to penetrate to the bottom of fear, of course together with God, with Purity, you bring courage out of it.

Fear is slavery to the old spirituality – the one which has fallen.

The precisely speaking person is not human, they are Spirit. – The precisely speaking one is Spirit, said in another way, and not a person.

The Word is an Ancient Warrior, a concealed Warrior secretly in the person.

Whoever wants to know the Secret of Life, they must have descended into the fall and rise up from there.

In the world, there is no time if you are Spirit.

The root is a flower on the outside and a Secret on the inside. The flower is only a part of the root, a part which has come out, but the Secret has not come out.

Whoever does not succeed in understanding God, they will lose Him.

When you create an enemy for yourself, you will depend on them. – I.e. you are making yourself dependent.

The Dark cannot endure Inspiration.

Fearsome is, say the Toltecs, only fear – but it itself is also afraid of something.

Only the work which engulfs you completely is your Guide and Saviour.

Disasters are created for the mad ones – they are their fate.

People fell not through evil but through their own incomprehension.

The fool was created in order to self-delude. – It is true that sometimes they delude others, but this is another topic, they are created in order to live out all these things of self-delusion.

Neither the evil person, or the good one are living correctly.

All obvious feats are not worth as much as one fallen leaf. – And truly, the True feat is something deeply internal, it is connected to self-awareness and it is concealed as the Sage is concealed – in humility – and it is clothed in big modesty. You just cannot recognise it – it is concealed.

If you can burn away your darkness – your own darkness – you are a Sage.

Anger originates from your old source – stagnation.

The fool values happiness, the Wise one values suffering.

When the water reaches over your head – hands up! – A very beautiful thing – simply hands up, do not ask why – just hands up.

Everything harmful is good for unreasonable people. – There are some proverbs of the Turanians, odd proverbs…

The good person also creates evil around themselves. – Take note, an odd proverb, Turanian one.

In another place the Turanians say: We have come in order to be trials for good people, but not everyone deserves – say the Turanians – the black Turanian wisdom, not everyone deserves and not everyone is worthy for us to become their enemy. A worthy person is needed, who will value us, who is noble and elevated, and then they deserve for us to be their enemies. But it is not worth it to be an enemy of the inferiour fallen ones. – I will explain: The good person is not Wise. All good people who do not know themselves are actually concealedly dark people. They appear good people, but they are not. There are many people even, explains Paracelsus, who do a lot of good deeds – they will not acquire salvation because they have no Soul, they have lost their Soul. They are akin to many beings who have no Soul but simply do good.

There are people who grow stupid in good, too and there are people who are reborn in the dark, too.

Unhappiness is sorrow unenlightened. – So if any of you have sorrow, let them make an effort to enlighten it and not say “Why did God send me such a thing?”

The fool is a fool because they have not brought meaning to their suffering – this is the reason for them to stay in foolishness. I will repeat again: The fool is a fool because they have not brought meaning to their suffering – they are always suffering, but there is no reasoning, there is no fruit.

Within the hardship there is concealed impetus which you must draw out. – So whatever hardship comes to you, it comes in order for you to draw out impetus.

Both the mad one and the happy one are deluded.

Mice fear even the statue of a cat. – So the copy itself of the cat, the aura itself, as many mice as there are, as big as they are, the fear of the cat, primordially innate, always remains.

The fool is convinced that Wisdom, too is stupid. In this way they believe themselves.

The one who inspires darkness in others has been captured by darkness.

Hate flows too, but it is not water.

Whenever you leave this world, take with you the Boundlessness.

There is a Secret place where the Voice of the worlds originates from.

THE PRIEST ATLANTEAN

(Third idea for contemplation)

The King of Atlantis – we will touch on his Wisdom here, although shortly. As I have told you, subsequently he was reincarnated as Melchizedek. And regarding the Ancient Thoth – Tehuti – he is his close brother and his grandson.

He says: There is a Secret place where the Voice of the worlds originates from.

Return into yourself and the Secret will embrace you.

Evil is never committed by the one who follows the bottomless Truth.

The person has two mighty weapons – Purity and Softness. Purity removes, Softness cuts.

Never violate the Boundlessness within you. – One small wrong step is a violation.

The Wise one does not gaze into goodness, but into Truth. Good does not interest them, it does not even deserve to be in their interest. The Wise one gazes into Truth.

There is no gift equal to the Abyss, equal to the Boundlessness.

Marvelous is the dried up spring – it has returned into its freedom.

The Abyss knows nothing of death. – I.e. the Infinite, the Boundlessness – there is no such notion there.

The Boundless person is a rare beauty on Earth.

The Essence of all Sacred scriptures is in one sentence: Be alike to the Abyss. Be alike to the Boundlessness.

Whoever is masterful in manifestation, they manifest what is unable to be seen.

The Word is a Priest. – This is what the Priest says: When it is purified the Word is a Priest.

The Word is the conqueror of the dark worlds.

To know yourself means to deal with yourself. But this requires a Secret knowledge which must descend upon you, but you must succeed in drawing it towards you.

Beware of knowing a lot because you might not implement it. – Beware of knowing a lot because you might not implement something of what you know.

The Word delivers things, it is the carrier of things, it can carry all sorts of beings and worlds. – But there is also danger, I will divert only for a bit: Eliphas Levi wanted to know deeper secrets of magic after he left the church and became a hermetic. So for 40 days he purified himself and fasted, he prepared and he summoned Apollonius of Tyana to reveal something deep to him. And Apollonius appears but Eliphas passes out, he cannot bear such a high frequency and he did not know what he wanted, did not know what his own intentions were.

Perseverance and steadfastness – these are the fearsome powers of the Sage. Something that no one can take away from them – perseverance and steadfastness.

The Eagle is Word without voice. I.e. God is Word without voice, uncreated Word. But when it must be, it is so convincing that nothing else can intervene.

The Eagle in the person is radiated as a Mighty, Pure, steadfast will. Both Mighty and Pure. Purity is allowed to become a Mighty will.

The Word sculpts the Boundlessness within the person.

Next time we will speak of the Sufi.

THE SACRED

(Lecture 1)

Today we will speak of the Native American Wisdom.

The Sacred person has the Right Gaze for the Spiritual world. The True human right is a Voyage towards the Sacred.

The living energy of the Sacred person is Special.

The Sacred person is in control in the Right way because they have no right to lose their powers. Anyone and anything that hinders the Sacred person makes them even stronger.

When you love the Sacred above all else, what is right happens.

When you love the Sacred the spirits teach you how to act towards yourself. They teach you the Right Attitude towards yourself.

When you begin to love the Sacred, light enters into your Heart and guides it. And if light is guiding your Heart then the Sacred has accepted you.

The Sacred Way is an Old Way, it is familiar to us for centuries, and the new way is young, it destroys us. We are not kindred to the new way.

The True person relates to the Sacred and attaches to its Soul.

The world has forgotten just one thing, but it is the most important thing – this is the Sacred.

Only within the Sacred everything comes to be. The Sacred grants the right to penetrate into Inner things.

The Power that comes out of the Sacred, creates Life. The Sacred is something in which the Secret of Life can become discernible, visible.

Whoever has a Sacred Reverence towards things, they attain their own Spirit.

If you do not have the Sacred, you have been deprived of a Way. You can occupy yourself with many things but you have already been deprived. This is why there are such people who make a lot of efforts, many exercises, but the Sacred is the primary thing – if it is not there, then your efforts will bear no result.

If you think in a Sacred way, you will not be human, but Light.

The Sacred gives the ability to see into the Invisible.

Only the Pure and Sacred person carries within themselves the True Essence of civilisation.

The True Life begins and ends with the Sacred.

Your Sacred Way is invisible, but it is always beside you. You may not know where it is leading you, but you must follow it. The Sacred Way is the Path towards the Great Secret, this is the only Way.

If you are sincere, you will come to know the Sacred things.

In the True Ritual the Ancient Sacred times come to life.

In order to live, you must know the Sacred.

Our life is full of the sense of the Sacred. The person of the Sacred stands above daily things – a measure.

Only the Soul can tell us of our Sacred Essence and of the Secret of Peace. -Peace is concealed, according to the Native American Wisdom, at the bottom of the Wind, i.e. within the Essence of things. Whoever has within themselves a strong Wind, i.e. a strong Spirit, they dispel the fogs. Hardships can be called the fogs.

If you wish to understand the person you must discover their Boundlessness. But we cannot utter ourselves, for we are Boundlessness.

Whoever has within themselves a strong Wind, i.e. a strong Spirit, they dispel the fogs. Hardships can be called the fogs.

Inspiration is a Secret Wind, the poetry of the Wind. The Wind has a Deep hearing, it hears every leaf.

The Secret of Life is Sacred. It knows everything because it is Deeper than history: it has given birth to history.

We live in order to discover our Boundlessness.

WAKAN TANKA

(First idea for contemplation)

Wakan Tanka or the Great Secret, the concealed Secret Power. This is the Power that created the Universe, the rock, the four winds, the Sky, Mother Earth, the Sun, the Moon, lightning, the human, the bison, the bear, the plants etc.

The Ancient Native American Wisdom says:

Energy is one thing and Power is another. Power is a Key which must set energy in motion. This Key is a distinct kind of Knowledge, Insight. Energy is scattered everywhere but Power is not. Power must be summoned in order to become a Key for solving something important.

Spiritual Power is the engine of energy. Spiritual Power is the Primary thing and the Key is the insight for this Ancient engine. This Ancient engine, this Power, comes from Wakan Tanka because He is the Power.

Power comes through understanding its meaning because Power is Sacred and is set in motion by Wakan Tanka and by His Shamans, and the so called Helpers. We acquire True knowledge when to our natural energy we add a part from the Higher Power and from the Helpers, and mostly from Wakan Tanka.

Together with Wakan Tanka everything can be, and without Him, the human nature is simply a natural power but without additional Spiritual Power. If this additional Power is not present the True things do not happen.

Energy is everywhere but Power belongs only to Him and to the Ancestors.

In the beginning the whole of Power was in the hands of only Wakan Tanka, the Great Secret, the Creator, but then He gave parts of it to the Heavenly Ancestors, the Proto-Ancestors, so that they may use it and grant it to the one who is worthy – in this case the Shamans.

To serve Wakan Tanka is something more than everything else in the world – and to be given this, it is the Supreme Benevolence.

Wherever I am – says one Shaman, – He, Wakan Tanka, does this serving in my stead. – Here is this humility: in my stead. – Wherever I am, He is always in me and I live out this irreplaceable feeling of closeness to Him. Wakan Tanka always knows when I need Him. He allowed me to understand that my Spirit looks just the same as me – (the matter is of when the person is in a body) – He allowed me to understand that my Spirit looks just like me. With Wakan Tanka life is one perpetual Revelation. – And truly, it is so.

THE SHAMAN

(Lecture 2)

What is the Shaman? The name Shaman means a Sacred person, an Ancient person.

The Shaman is the master in the realm of the spirits. The Shaman dives Deeply into themselves and they interact with the spirits in a real way, because the Shaman has devoted themselves to the Sacred Origin. The Shaman is able to speak with the spirit folk.

The Shaman has mandatorily gone through their big suffering. We will speak of this matter more in the December lecture “The Dark Night of the Soul”. Here I will say: The Shaman has passed through their Great suffering mandatorily. Why? In order to purify the evil from themselves and to be transformed. To be transformed in such a way, so that they become a Sacred person. From then on, they are allowed to help – until that point they do not have a right to help. After this moment, they already have a Sacred right. They already truly become a Shaman or a Sacred person, free of the sickness of evil, of ego as a whole.

The Shaman is Sacred because they have first healed the evil in themselves and they already have the right to heal others – otherwise they have no right. The Shaman or the Sacred One is a master of bringing energy to life. And aside from this, they heal the person’s regard towards things. Not just the sickness, but their attitude towards things, because there sicknesses are found. The person does not have a regard towards things in the most general sense, because the sick person simply has no regard.

The Shaman thinks differently, speaks differently, lives differently. They are not of time. The Shaman is a being of the Sacred, i.e. of other worlds and the sick person is a being of time.

The Shaman has the right to enter into the other world – in this world they only seemingly live. The Shaman, through the Sacred, lives Mystically in the world of the spirits. They also mandatorily interact with a certain Secret Master. So aside from being governed by Supreme beings, the Shaman also has a particular Secret Master. And they learn from them in the same way the son learns from their father.

The Shaman is Initiated into the Sacred and because of this a gushing life-bringing Power pours into them, in them, which truly heals. It passes through them because the Shaman has passed through the big suffering and because this is required by the Sacred. This already allows this energy to pass through the Shaman, as the Shamans say: as if through a pipe – as the water passes through the pipe.

After this transfiguration, after they have passed through the big suffering, the Shaman can never again be possessed by evil spirits – the other important thing regarding the Shaman. After they have passed through the big suffering, their Dark Night, they have overcome themselves, they can never again be possessed by evil spirits because they begin to live totally within the Sacred, which they devote themselves to, they begin to live in their own Secret.

 The Shaman must mandatorily pass through Initiation, i.e. through a big suffering, which means Recreation, in order for the Spiritual Powers to be reborn and the old person in them to die.

Shamans are these ones whom the spirits serve. They are like brothers. According to the Shamans the course of the person’s life is determined by spirits and everything around us has its spirits, masters. They are masters in all different areas, but these spirits, the Shaman can influence.

When there are important matters, the Shaman becomes a person in outburst. Of course – not always, Shamans have different approaches – here we are speaking of one of the approaches – they become a person in outburst. This means, translated into the Native American Indian language, A Purely Inner Ascent. Outwardly they may even look mad, it has nothing to do with it. This is a Purely Inner Ascent, a Sacred Ascent.

With the Shamans there is no hereditary passing down because there is a rule: every Shaman must conquer their own authority themselves; they must undergo their own dark suffering themselves, their Dark Night, in order to become an authority.

The Shaman must possess a Voice, an Inner Voice. The Voice according to the Native Americans is a Sceptre in the interior of things, in the invisible domain, when it is Sacred.

Say the Shamans: the world will become more and more Truthful only under one condition – when Shamans and Priests guide education. – Of course, people must deserve to be led by such people. But only when Shamans and Priests guide, only then will the world be mended because there will be True education in the Sacred and beyond.

The Shaman sees very far ahead. Why? Because they have passed through suffering and the big Darkness. From here on they are allowed to see, to really see far ahead. In this way they capture the invisible essences.

According to the Shamans that, which surrounds us – forests, stones, water, air, vegetation, animals – is not just the surrounding environment. This is our family, all of these are our relatives – trees, animals, plants, even rocks – our relatives, our family. See, what approach!

The Shaman does not heal. They are merely a pipe through which flows out and pours through the Supreme Power of the Helpers, the Ancestors and, most of all, when He has desired, of Wakan Tanka.

For the Shaman the big devotion to Wakan Tanka, i.e. to the Great Secret is the True walking on water – so says one Shaman – this is the True walking on water, i.e. translated, walking above life, above the difficulties of life, above the problems of life – this is what walking on water and walking above water means.

The Shaman – this is the art of making things happen, but making them happen in the Sacred way, in the Right way.

MYSTICISM

(Second idea for contemplation)

The person will always stand eye to eye with the Great Secret and no matter how much they study it, it will always remain a Secret.

Do not abandon the Secret for life. All the people on this earth originate from one place – from the Great Secret. The first people were created without fathers. They called them “The Secret” because they were created through Secret.

In the Beginning it was Speechlessness, a Speechless Sea (so says the Native American bible). A Speechless Sea: skies, land – there were none. Only Anciency and the Ancestors, i.e. the Gods of the Secret, and the Sea. And they turned for help towards Hurakan. Hurakan, this is the Heart Itself of the Secret – and they desired to create land. And they created everything along it – trees, plants, animals. They created people too, but the people were very irreverent towards Hurakan Tanka, i.e. towards the Great Secret, or Hurakan. They were called wooden people, i.e. unaware, and they were destroyed. And one part of the wooden people, i.e. the unsuccessful people, were transformed and became monkeys. This is why monkeys resemble people. They are an unsuccessful attempt, monkeys are unsuccessful people.

Even before Creation the Proto-Ancestors reflected on life, on Light and how to make it Rise. They asked themselves who will produce food, i.e. life energy: how to create animals? The Ancestors wanted to create animals to be similar to the humans – with a voice, so that they may praise Hurakan, as well. But this attempt, too was unsuccessful.

Each one who is here on this earth, is here because of the Creator. – I remember, when the Master speaks about reincarnation, He says: Sometimes for one birthing on Earth, there is a struggle between millions of beings, but only one must be born. – In a particular place, for example. Notice how important one incarnation is, so that the Soul may descend and walk along its Ancient, True Way.

The Native Americans say: You are always observed by the Great Secret in everything you do.

The Great Spirit has given every one their Sacred Way. People differ between each other only in the way they use everything that was given to them by Hurakan, by the Great Secret.

The Native Americans say: You are always observed by the Great Secret in everything you do.

The Great Secret is greater than all gifts. It is our Creator, it is our story and we must learn from our own selves, in the Sacred Way, in order to become worthy of Him.

Say the Native Americans: Look around you: all things affirm that the Creator has created them. People cannot create a tree, cannot create a rock, cannot create a leaf. All things tell of the Great Secret. Long, long ago and far back in time we used to live in this Secret within the Creator, and we were United like the Eagle and the Sky; and we were free like the Wind in the prairie.

PROVERBS, SAYINGS, SENTENCES

(Lecture 3)

Learn to dance with the obstacles if you want to walk ahead.

Do not make even one decision before you have descended very Deeply within yourself.

Our Ancestors communed with Fire and Storms to make them their allies.

The Truth is always good to speak.

Turn the fits of anger into a song of the Sun. – So here is how you can use the energy: turn the fits of anger into a song of the Sun. of course, these are elementary things but for some they are probably even difficult.

Try to grasp your body as Pure Spirit and at the same time give your Spirit the Reality of the body.

If one pebble goes missing the Suns will go out. – This is how Unified, how connected everything is.

Broaden the circle of your friends with the trees, the mountains, the stars, the leaves etc.

Song and dance are bridges built towards invisible worlds.

To heal – this means to find the lost Soul and to reinforce its Life force.

The young eagle leaves its nest, throws itself into the empty space, throws itself into the Void without knowing why. Thrust by the Mighty Powers of Life it unfolds its Wings and becomes an Eagle.

Comprehend death as an Eternal Returning.

Things converse eternally, notwithstanding time and space.

Where the person’s eye is, there is nothing for their hands to grasp because elusive worlds abound everywhere.

Only this is important, that you see with eyes deeply shut.

Gaze into a fire of burning wood and love the fire. The fire will become your brother and will give to you its warmth and its kindness.

Give this, which you want to receive.

Realise the completeness of life of one blade of grass and you will be saved.

The Wise One dwells in shining lonesomeness. Within them there is a place for communion with the whole of nature.

What is solitude for the true Native American Indian? Solitude is facing yourself eye to eye, without the support of others. So you face yourself without the support of other people.

Learn to be silent in order to hear yourself and the Spirit of Wisdom will respond to you.

Accept solitude as an enlightening, as Pure Light which draws from its own self beyond the world.

Realise the completeness of life of one blade of grass and you will be saved.

The Quiet is not empty. It is filled with presence. In it the person is never left alone.

The Quiet grants people new eyes, to see and new Spirit, to understand.

In solitude the worthy person does not shiver, does not experience any fear. Here they are a Spirit at Peace, reconciled with themselves, filled with themselves.

Accept solitude as a Call. It means that your Spirit is seeking you.

Solitude protects the person from their own selves. Do not consider it a fence and a fortress, but a Source. Consider solitude a Source.

Without Love solitude is but a dry land, waterless and with no light. Nothing grows out of it.

Fear is an enemy to solitude. If you want to be solitary, first defeat fear. – This is why the Native Americans pass through the Dark Night, the Dark suffering.

Solitude is the Royal Way of Awakening.

Solitude is a peculiar place of Power – not of energy – a peculiar place of Power.

The Wise One draws their Power from their solitude.

Solitude forges arrows of Light.

For the Spiritual Way only one thing is necessary: sharp, wholehearted attention. (Three words!)

Do not notice the world and you will capture the Wind. – The word wind in the Native American language means, as we said before, Eekatl – it means The Spirit.

Only the True person possesses the Power and ability to achieve their goals. – No one else achieves goals: they achieve some success but not the True goals of Life. I will repeat again: Only the True person possesses the Power and ability to achieve their goals.

Tell the Truth and things will always be light for you.

According to the Mayans Love is the place where you become a God.

The Aztecs say: If you have reached somewhere and there is no Way further, and there is no Way out, then become a Bird. – So when you have no Way and no Way out, then become a bird. Translated, the word bird in this case means ascension – become Ascension.

According to the Incas, work which is not cult, is of no matter. So your work – if you are not devoted as a cult, if you are not totally committed, it is already of no matter, it will not be your True Master.

WISDOM

(Third idea for contemplation)

So if I must say, I am using around 90 Native American books, around 100 including some inner books, unwritten. If some people are asking where from, they simply want to know. In time, of course we will have many continuations on Native Americans, Bogomil lectures etc – many of the lectures that I present will have many continuations.

Wisdom:

I will keep my word – says one Shaman – until the rocks melt.

When I hear the words I see the Quiet of the person. – This is one great Native American, a great Shaman called White Wind. Most of the thoughts here are his. – When I hear the words I see the Quiet of the person.

The Way is something which ascends upwards and roads crawl downwards.

Our reverence is our re-creation.

Concentration in Shamanic language means to Unite with your own Spirit. So, to exit outside of the mind, outside of the heart, outside of the world, outside of time – only to Unite with your Spirit – this is True concentration.

Knowledge is connected to the past and Wisdom belongs to the future.

We are all learning from One and the same Father.

Everything comes from our Father and this is enough.

Accept what is happening, immerse yourself in its miracle and grow. – So accept what is happening, immerse in its miracle and grow. I would add: if possible, without questions – sometimes questions are a hindrance.

The Wind is a more Sacred place than any church. – I am reminded of Priest Bogomil, next time we will speak of him: “The pastors are absolutely unnecessary.” – said by a Great Master. Boyan the Magus says: “The whole of Christianity is unnecessary, the whole of religion is unnecessary – what is necessary is only God.” – Notice how simple, but during that time, those words were a sword. The matter here is of True devotion, not denying, but of the direction of the True Way – next time we will speak of the Bogomils.

The Wind is a more Sacred place than any church. The Wind blows over you and purifies you. It is a better place to find God than any church. The Wind is a Purely Spiritual place.

I am reminded of the German Bogomils, they say: It is even very harmful to pray in a church, because churches are saturated with demons. You will see next time what Priest Bogomil and Vasiliy the Healer* say – very similar things. Also, of the holy relics** Vasiliy the Healer explains how demons make these and they attract the small, poor souls, the abandoned ones, the elderly souls who have given up on development.

*Translator’s note: More widely known as Basil the physician

** Translator’s note: The matter is of physical remains of saints.

So it is harmful to pray there because it is saturated with demons and people think that there is a pure aura in churches, because they do not discern. The air (as we are speaking of air here) – this is the Pure place, this is the place of the Free church, of Freedom – in the Wind. So the Power is here, in the Wind, say the Native Americans, in the hills, and it comes to Life in our Hearts, so that through it we may find God.

The Wind blows over you and purifies you. It is a better place to find God than any church. The Wind is a Purely Spiritual place.

Love is the Wise attitude towards things because it brings you into Pure contact with your own self.

When a person takes the energy of others, they never become a strong and resilient person. The matter is of the ones who insult other people, who anger other people. I know many cases. For example, a woman goes to the marketplace, she says “Give me this, this, this, this – I won’t take anything…” – and leaves. They start thinking about her and she feeds. I know worse cases: A guy walks into a bookstore and says, (because he reads such books, I know him, so anyway) inside there is a woman, holding a very small dog, he says: What is this big dog, I can’t stand it! – and disappears. And they start thinking of him for a long time and in this way he eats energy. He will never become strong, he will never become resilient, he will never become immutable and have Completeness within himself. I can give many examples, but next time when we speak of influences according to the Master.

The person becomes strong when they create energy within themselves. This happens through prayer, through reasonable silence, I have said, through reasonable speaking, through reasonable reading, through reasonable thinking, through reasonable feeling, and as a whole, through constant thinking of Divine matters. In this way the person does not rob others, but they even give to others.

The energy that you yourself create within yourself, creates, besides this, a new Real Sight for you. So it helps you reach a new Real Sight. The other, stolen energy, it robs you: there you gain delusions and blindness.

Why does this energy which you create within yourself give you a new Sight? – Because it is honest, say the Native Americans, it is honest and Pure energy.

We all require internal accumulated Power and self-assuredness, especially when we face crises, big transfigurations. And Wisdom is in this precisely: to know that you are always in possession of this inner, personal, Pure Might.

Everything around us is symbols. Dreams are symbols too. Symbols show the Way which we walk upon. But to understand the symbol, it means to unlock its energy. In order to unlock its energy you must enter into it and experience it.

When you have a bad habit and it repeats frequently, the Native Americans, the Sages say: This means that you have a companion-being with you. This causes this bad habit, you have a companion-being who takes part in this bad habit. This being stubbornly comes back into you often, but anyone can overcome it if they become exceptionally honest with themselves.

The next lecture is on the 2nd of November, we will talk of the Bogomils.

(Third idea for contemplation)

Let us do our protective formula.

ZEN

(Lecture 1)

Zen is a method of simplicity. A method that helps you destroy your own hypocrisy. Here in Zen the person has penetrated into themselves, in their own Depths and this is simply everything to Zen. Here is the only authority, on the inside – the Boundlessness. To Zen there is only one authority – the Boundlessness.

Zen is awakeness. The awakened one does not accumulate knowledge, they accumulate Purity. Zen is not a religion because it does not waste its time. Zen is a path of Truthfulness. It is devoted to something Essential –Truthfulness, the path of the Void.

Zen does not care about society, but about Truth. Zen says: That which is not Truth, which is not the Void, cannot bring you Peace and reality.

In Zen no church is needed because Zen says: Simply enter your Temple, there is no need for a church, just enter your own Temple, within your Soul.

In Zen there is only one salvation – this is your Void Heart, i.e. your True, Pure Heart. And this is your salvation. Zen also says: Carry within you the Ancient consciousness, i.e. this is the Primordial solar state within the person.

Zen believes in neither the past, nor the future, it believes in Truth. Recently the question was raised in Rousse and in Bourgas, there I explained in short: The one who does not live within God starts to believe in some future, i.e. they have lied to themselves. This means that they have hypocrisy towards themselves which they have to deal with, this is why they believe in some future. The person does not need a future, they need God. Zen believes in the Void, in the Truth. Whoever has that reality, they do not delude themselves with a future.

In Truth there is no disappointment.

Zen – this is finding the Voidness or finding your own un-createdness.

Zen says: You were never born and you never die. These are just moments of the Boundlessness. And truly – with birth simply nothing is being born – here only the unmanifested becomes manifested, i.e. the invisible becomes visible. But all of this is just moments of the Boundlessness.

Zen does not enjoy life, it does not enjoy death, Zen enjoys the Boundlessness. Zen enjoys the Sacred.

Simplicity in Zen means understanding things in a Sacred way. Zen – this is the ability to be present in the Sacrament of being. Zen is Sacred simplicity.

They asked a Zen-Master the question: What is the Way? The answer: It is your daily routine. Notice, everything is simple with Zen, there are no complicated terms, you do not need dictionaries, everything is simple. This is your daily routine, meaning that Zen – this is simply the Immortal life itself – it flows, Eternity just flows and this is your daily routine, it is a state of awareness.

Zen is present among us in the form of silence.

Zen values yugen, yugen in Japanese means The Magnificence of the unspoken. It values exactly that, the Magnificence of the unspoken.

Zen is air itself, Eternity itself, Truthfulness itself. But if you start explaining what Zen is, sometimes things become difficult. This is so because Zen does not live in explanations, it lives in Truthfulness – not in explanations, but in Truthfulness.

In Zen words are very peculiar. For example, they asked a Zen-Master, a person asked him: Write me something wise on a piece of paper. He wrote only one word: Attentiveness. The man said: Is that it? Is that all? The Master looked at him and wrote again: Attentiveness, attentiveness. – In the moment when you lose attentiveness, this is where karma comes from. If you had attentiveness you would not even be asking what it is. You would have been engulfed by the Wisdom of this word. Your karma, all your problems came from lack of attentiveness. So see how simple it is: attentiveness simply means to pay attention – he was not paying attention, so he asked a second time.

Zen values yugen, The Magnificence of the unspoken. It values exactly that, the Magnificence of the unspoken.

Everyone possesses an attentive Spirit, they only have to find it. Nothing else is needed according to Zen, you just have to find your Еssence. If you capture the Zen-Essence then Zen has captured you, as well.

Zen does not waste itself in lateral things – science, philosophy, religion etc. Zen is a Pure state of Shining, a Pure state of the Еssence.

Zen is very peculiar, I will explain: Zen does not need striving, it does not need gnosis, no revelation, it needs no inspiration, because Zen is rooted in the Primordial state – Truthfulness, Voidness, and this state is the most Ancient and natural state of the person. It is called Simplicity and its other name is Zen.

In Zen there is also talk of faith, but faith in the Void, in the Nonexistent, the Unbound, because what is visible does not exist, this is why it disappears. What is real is only the Invisible, the Uncreated, and within it Zen lives. And the Master says: You have to try very hard to prove to Me that the visible world exists, and of course you would not be able to – it does not exist.

Zen – this is life in the Primordial Enlightened state. Zen lives in the Boundlessness and sees It here in this world, because Zen has never parted with It.

Zen is a Great Art. This is the Art of having penetrated into yourself, into your True nature.

A man asked a Zen-Master: Is there a God? The answer: In you, He is not there. -And why is He not in me? -Because you are asking. – Here the subtle Zen wants to say: What use of asking and believing, and speaking of belief, if you do not live in this reality, what use of questions at all? I will explain: When a Zen-Master is speaking, silence is blooming. You have to hear their Silence – their Speechlessness is blooming, their Quiet, the Inner Abundance, the Reality. And if you are able to listen, you will hear.

Zen says: even the cracked cup is perfect – notice – the broken cup. Even the broken cup is perfect: it cannot break again in the same way, you cannot do anything to break it in this perfect way. In Zen everything is perfect.

Zen admires even a puddle, because it also reflects the sky. Notice the gaze of Zen and of the Sages, where they are looking and what they see.

Zen says: there is only one self-journey – towards yourself. This means that Zen is an Art of understanding yourself. In Zen your Sacred nature has to become the main perception of everything.

In Zen you do not become knowledgeable, meaning dead – a dead person, a dead flower; in Zen you become a living fragrance. The matter in Zen is: follow no path, but be in your Essence. Do not follow, but be in your Essence, in your own Truth.

Zen says: Accept the grave as a temple where you go for a while to relax. I just remembered a saying: When the cats are away, the mice come out for a walk. Something like that, just like that simply… You go out for a walk, because death has a completely different gaze towards Zen, it opens a door for Zen, it shows Zen the freedom.

The crow asked the old bear: Why have you decided to live in Zen? The bear said: because without Zen, I am always chased by the cold wind. There are always winds, always things like that which chase you and torment you, something is always tormenting you.

Zen is an inexpressible world. It is not composed of words, but of states; not words, but states. Zen concurs with the no-word, the Speechlessness.

In Zen what is Essential is happening in Silence.

HAIKU

(First idea for contemplation)

Before I say some haiku, I will explain something about haiku itself. Haiku this is spontaneity, this is a Purely Spiritual Art. It is an Art of hinting, an Art of subtext. Because for Truth words are too narrow, haiku only hints at the direction. Haiku is a hint without an ending so that Truth can breathe freely. Just like it is in ‘’Never-ending story’’ – there Truth can breathe freely, meaning without an end, calmly.

Zen says: There exists no ending, there is no final limit; and this is why Zen has no such idea as the end of the world. Zen does not expect something like that, there is no such idea there at all. This is what external people are interested in, for them there is an ending, for them there is a beginning, and Zen lives in the Boundlessness.

In Zen every completion hinders the ongoing development. Every completion is a hindrance, it obstructs the ongoing development. This is why haiku is only a hint, a direction.

Here are a few haiku:

            Day after day, all beautiful days.

            Barn’s burnt down — now I can see the moon. Finally space. – See how simple, there is no ‘’but why did it burn down’’ – I just see the freedom.

Another haiku:

            Winter chrysanthemum. Dressed only in its beauty. – That is enough.

            Flies the freezing butterfly and chases its Soul.

Another haiku:

            Glows a firefly. Underneath it – a dead firefly.

Another celebration:

            Birds flying away –  the sky is maybe grieving. – Very simple poetry, but it leads inward.

            Bringer of the wind is the fan merchant. It is hot. – Someone is carrying the wind, selling the wind…

And so, haiku – this is an exercise in Purity and simplicity, in sincerity. Haiku is an entering into the wonderful, and in the wonderful, no time exists.

Haiku gives people not words, but the Sacred, the Concealed, the Silent.

Haiku is communicating with the self, with your own Ancient, honest feeling; this is an exercise in sincerity with your own Ancient, honest feeling.

Haiku is the breath of what is Ancient within the person, of the Sacred in the person, of their Primordial feeling, their Original feeling.

A few haiku:

            Gently, rain, take care, do not weigh down and hurt the almond blossom!

            Run, little sparrow, run from the road – a horse is coming! – A quiet, light nobility, something beautiful. In haiku it is not the word that speaks, but the Ancient, the Essence speaks. It always speaks simply.

Haiku gives people not words, but the Sacred, the Concealed, the Silent.

SATORI (ENLIGHTENMENT)

(Lecture 2)

Satori is self-awakening in the Essence. Here you do not wait for saviours, resurrectors, nothing – you have to awaken your own self, because otherwise you will be waiting a lot. Those who are waiting but are not ready (and they are not ready, so they are waiting), will be surprised. Self-awakening! We will talk in time of the apocryphal thoughts of Christ from the concealed gospels, there you will see – He does not even speak of such things, He does not even speak of God, only of the Abyss and the Absolute, this is another topic.

Satori or Enlightenment, this means to discover the meaning that is within you, in your daily life. I will explain: the Enlightened one is not a body, not a form. They are Essence, Speechlessness, Depth, Shining. The human biography has gone, what is left is Pure Spirit.

To the Enlightened one it is all the same what they speak; what is Essential is that they blossom within. They are already Spirit, they are an Essence released. The Enlightened one is penetrated by the Unfathomable Secret of Life.

It is difficult to understand Satori –Enlightenment – if you wish to and if you seek it. But it is easy if you are rooted in Truth. So, if you are wishing for it and seeking it, it is difficult, but if you are rooted in Truth it is easy and natural, you begin to realise it naturally.

To whom is this non-thought accessible? To Satori. To Pure Spirit.

Who is an unborn one? The Enlightened one.

Satori says: You are unborn. Stop clinging to the earth, water, fire and wind. Feed on your Eternal placidity.

In Satori what is Essential is happening, what is Primordial – Pure Consciousness is being restored.

Whoever enters Satori, the word becomes distant to them and the Truth becomes close. Still they use the word, but they know why and know how to use it.

Satori comes suddenly and instantly, but after you have worked on yourself for a long time and you have prepared it.

Satori is to gain non-being, to gain uncreatedness. Achieving Satori means a liquidation of the karmas of the past. When a person gains Satori their ordinary consciousness dies, they are already born into the Primordial State.

Satori – this is already the Way towards your Depths, i.e. you already have the right to penetrate inwards. Satori is entering the Void, the Unfathomable and this is a miraculous leap, which is a liberation from the mind, from the ego and from the false development. Satori also means having access to the Speechlessness of the Master.

The Enlightened person in Zen has no biography, no visible marks. After Satori they become quiet, humble – a simplicity; and this is part of the fineness of Zen. Very modest, very humble, very quiet – as if they are gone.

Satori is a method which leads you out of this world.

The Enlightened person changes the surrounding environment and it is not even with their actions, just their presence is enough, their consciousness. Inside their consciousness you are already changing. I will explain: it is not the act that matters so much, it is the Enlightenment. It is important whether you are Enlightened, conscious. What is important is who is doing the act, because the Enlightened person is something more than the act, they are something more than any act. They uplift everything that is fit for uplifting.

A deed requires Enlightenment, requires Spirit, requires Soul, requires awareness and not an action or some mentality, or thinking. If a Sacred scripture is written by one Buddha, by one Enlightened being, then only another Buddha can explain it. The scholar, the educated person cannot clarify anything, they have no connection to the Essence. Even if they say something wise, like for example Confucius has such things, it does not originate from their Satori, from their true Enlightenment. A scholar cannot introduce anything into the Sacred scriptures, while an Enlightened person enriches them with their Voidness, with their Truthfulness. They bring a new quality into them, a new element. In the Enlightened person there is Spirit and Secret, while in the scholar and the educated person there is pitiful knowledge.

Your Satori, your Essence, your Love, your Enlightenment is more important than your deeds.

And so, many religions are oriented towards action; Zen is oriented towards the Truth and Satori, the Supreme Awareness, i.e. simplicity and mindfulness. For example, when God acts there is no right and wrong. Whether something terrible or marvelous is happening it is the Void acting, according to Zen it is the Secret acting. People can reason subsequently but they are no measure. Here the Supreme measure acts – God Himself. Whether a person dies, whether a whole continent perishes or a whole civilisation, it is all the same. Lao Tzu says: Civilisations blossom so that they may perish. This is why they blossom, to reach a certain point, then they must change. It is all the same what they say, because God is absolutely right always. Besides, who can dispute the decision of God? In this connection I say: God is all-seeing and always right, and He always does what is best. Whether we understand it is a different matter, but He always does what is best.

Your Satori, your Essence, your Love, your Enlightenment is more important than your deeds. And the so called right deeds of people who are asleep will simply lead them into hell, into the limitations. For example, God has made someone a beggar and poor. I was recently in Sofia and a lovely soul, Lili Dimkova – the daughter of Peter Dimkov, she likes the lectures very much and she attends. She is around 76-77 years old, invites me often, and this was the exact question that arose. I explained to her that if you are giving money to a poor person, you will suffer your punishment. And because she is an old bogomil soul, she understands the simple things. I will explain this to you in a simple way without going into too much detail, because we will talk of this again in time. So God has made them poor, hungry, so that they can be hungry for God, for the Essence, so that God can give them Himself. God does not want to give them some bread and crumbs, He wants to give them Himself and then food. This person is hesitant anyway and when you give to them they slack even more, and you say: I have done a good thing, and you do not discern; you will bear your consequences. Some say: but should we not give? If you can discern – give; if you cannot – ask, learn. In time I will speak more on this matter, but she understood. So, God wants to give us something more, much more, the True bread – Himself. In time we will talk about lahma, we have talked and we will talk again, but God always wants to give us something deeper and more important.

The Enlightened person can make something wonderful out of hell; the person who is asleep can create chaos out of paradise.

The Enlightened person lives within the Depths of things and this is why they carry the fragrance of Zen. They have arrived into their Heart, into their Soul, into their True Essence and this is called Zen.

When a person has entered Satori, their Essence, their awakeness, then the created world falls away, it stops existing. It has existed until now, but the dimension is already different. Even if you have impeccable behaviour, says Zen, and if you have done many sublime deeds, if you have not achieved Satori, your Essence, then you cannot free yourself from the prison of the world.

Satori – this is the consciousness which has elevated itself to Boundlessness and has preserved its humility and its simplicity.

In Zen there are no achievements in life, the only thing that exists is the discovery of self.

THE VOID

(Second idea for contemplation)

For Zen there is only one homeland – the Void, i.e. Truthfulness and Boundlessness. The Void – this is the Eternal awakeness, i.e. the Eternal awareness. Any other homeland outside of this Primordial consciousness is an absurdity. Zen lives always in its True homeland and this is so far from names, countries, notions, opinions, borders etc.

Zen lives in the Proto-foundation, in the Source.

What Zen enjoys most is the Void, the Pre-Eternal. The Void becomes aware of Itself only in Purity. The Secret experience of the mystics from all teachings is exactly the experience with the Void. In Zen this experience is called a Pure Land.

According to one Zen-Master, passing through Golgotha means achieving a total self-emptying, a complete removal of the ego and entering into the Void. For them this is Golgotha – a total self-emptying and entering into the Boundlessness, a complete removal of the ego.

Zen is the Void embodied. It lives in Eternity itself and in Boundlessness itself.

The Void is the nicest fruit. It is the completeness of life.

They asked a Zen-Master: When you achieved Enlightenment, what is it exactly that you achieved? He said: Nothing. The one asking, his pupil, says: So you sought so much, so much diligence for nothing? The Master said: Well, if you are asking so much then it means this Nothing is important! And finally, the Zen-master said: The most important of all achievements is Nothingness, the Boundlessness, because everything originated from it, from the Nothing.

To overfill yourself with Voidness means to devastate all delusions – both the dark and the light. Not only the delusions of the dark, but of the light as well. A knowledgeable person can become a great musician, a great artist, a great philosopher, but the Void does not come here. The Void only comes to Purity. Purity is a gateway for the Boundlessness. And when you become Voidness, i.e. Pure Consciousness, you clearly understand all the illusions of the world.

If you achieve Voidness you become a Master of all coincidences. I repeat, Zen says: If you achieve Voidness you become a Master of all coincidences. Later I will give you an example regarding this matter. In the life of Zen there are no coincidences. The Void is the most important thing -the Source, it is the Origin.

In Zen a word is not a concept, it is a state of Voidness, a state of the Primordial. The Void does not belong to any nation, it belongs to the Boundlessness.

The Deep comprehension of things in Zen-Masters, this Deep understanding does not come from knowledgeableness. It comes from the Void, from penetrating into your own Centre. Those who have a goal to accumulate common knowledge instead of Purity cannot enter into their own Voidness.

In its pure Voidness only your Pure Consciousness can enter, only your Truthfulness, your liberated consciousness and this exactly is Zen.

ZEN

(Lecture 3)

Zen is the Essence of all religions because Zen – this is simply the Truthful, awakened life, i.e. the Kingdom of God on earth. Not somewhere – the Kingdom of God on earth, and this is the solution of all religions.

In Zen it is considered that wanting to prevail is a very big flaw.

Zen solves the question of the Secret of life without any moral orders. In Zen there is death and Resurrection as well, but here the ordinary consciousness dies and the Pure Consciousness is born, the Supreme Consciousness – this is the Resurrection in Zen.

In Zen for the ordinary consciousness to die, this is simply giving up passion, greed, egotism, hatred, ambitions etc. According to Zen this can happen outside of the boundaries of the monastery, a monastery is not even needed – you are the monastery, it is within you. The aim in Zen is to come out of the boundaries of death and life and to start living the True life.

In Zen things are observed through the Pure Consciousness. And this is the Zen state.

In Zen the matter of a living Master is simple. Zen says: Life itself will send you to a Master, or life itself will teach you as a Master. It is simply natural what life will decide, what the Boundlessness will decide, it is simply natural. The question is for you to become worthy of being taught by a Master or by life.

In Zen the aim is not to think about what is right and what is wrong, but to grow and to develop in the Purity of consciousness. But because the mind does not know the Source, it divides things into right and wrong. According to Zen, because everything originates from only one Source, the idea of right and wrong does not exist.

Zen is non-judgemental from the beginning. What God says in the Bible, in Matthew, the Gospel of Matthew, chapter seven: Do not judge, lest you be judged, here with Zen this is totally fulfilled. The Pure Consciousness does not deal with judging , with disapproving. It simply lives within Truth, filled with True life, there is nothing to disapprove of, it is Pure. Non-judgemental from the beginning, because it knows that the critical approach to things is to set root in the external world. So the more you criticise and disapprove of people, parties, nations, the more you become rooted in the external world, the more created you become, you will be reborn in even heavier external forms. Which means that critical people will become more and more deluded, more and more unsettled, and in this way they will miss the Essence more and more – which is the Pure Consciousness.

Within Zen there is such a way of growth, that the ordinary, mental people wonderfully do not understand what it is about – in every way. Zen says that they wonderfully do not understand what it is about.

To Zen religion is something of a happy and beautiful game, and many people are playing at religion, at science, at philosophy etc. Zen is also a game, but a peculiar game, a game of the Supreme Consciousness, a game of Awakeness and Purity, and this is another quality, another approach.

Zen is this awakeness and sincerity that remove the unreal knowledge, which is the knowledge of the world. Zen is not a religion or a game of philosophy. Zen is Truthfulness and this Truthfulness is what is Essential in life.

Zen is simplicity and sincerity, but despite this, it will never become a mass occurrence, because simplicity – this is the Deep, most-Wise foundation of life.

Zen says: Acquire simplicity and you will see clearly, but this is acquiring the Void and there is disappearance there. But the mind, the mental person, they are rooted in the world. This is why in Zen awakeness is very important, because it creates the no-mind, i.e. it creates Spirit. So awakeness creates the no-mind.

To Zen the holy scriptures can turn out to be a peculiar type of slavery because the person has to live before all else an awakened, Truthful life, a Primordial life, and in this condition then the person is already a Sacred scripture. Notice the approach of Zen – here the person becomes the Sacred scripture and the texts are already of no matter, they may use them, they may not use them, but they themselves are overfilled, overabundant, they are the Sacred scripture. Said in another way: to Zen the Essential is life within Truth, not life within texts, quotes, scriptures. They are compromises, because the Sacred person is more important than any text, the Sacred person is more important than every sacred scripture. Zen does not allow the holy texts to divert it. It is entirely aimed towards its Truthfulness, entirely towards its Essence.

In Zen there is nothing that you are studying as fundamentally as your own self – you are studying nothing as fundamentally as yourself, as your Depths.

 A Zen-Master is no scientist, no philosopher, no psychologist, nor are they religious. They do not, as I said, waste their time. What are they? They are Truth. They are a presence of Essence. And they stand beside you and await your awakening. Of course, life may pass this way, but they stand close by and await your awakening so that you may know yourself and not because of some philosophical conversations.

A Zen-Master does not solve your problems. They do not have such a task, they do not solve your problems and they do not deal with this, with them, at all. They resolve the Essential, the root of all your problems. They have an effect for your awakening and this is liberation. When you become aware – this is a liberation from the problems and this will happen naturally, when you awaken, when you become Truthful.

Zen is not a religion or a game of philosophy. Zen is Truthfulness and this Truthfulness is what is Essential in life.

The Zen-Master is here because of your sleeping consciousness, but you, as I said, might pass them by and then you will remain in ignorance. And ignorance is an ocean of problems, a factory for problems, perpetually – this is ignorance. This is simply the loss of the awakened self. Zen has nothing in common with problems, because it has known Peace and the Essence of things.

In Zen only the one has the measure for success in life, who has acquired their Essence, who has acquired a True comprehension of things.

There are many religions in the world, but the awakened self happens rarely. In Zen awakeness is the foundation. In Zen bliss is something secondary. It comes after the Void, it comes after Truth, after simplicity, but it is a consequence. The ones who are asleep know the scriptures, the texts, Zen knows the awakeness, Zen knows the Boundlessness.

According to Zen it does not matter whether you are a saint or a sinner – both are redundant. One is a nice dream, the other is a bad dream; you have to get out of both. The Essential is in the awakening and when you awaken, then you are saved from both the bad and the good dream, from every duality.

In Zen you are not something that is born and dies. These are, as I said, merely small moments of the Boundlessness. This is why Zen is universal. In Zen death is just a wondrous rest in the great Boundlessness. It is like when you have worked during the day and then you go to rest.

In Zen there is no place for a priest. They are absolutely not needed here. Said in another way, they are not a bridge – they are a barrier. Zen has understood this because Zen itself is a bridge; the priest is no bridge to God, they are a barrier – a barrier towards the Essence, a barrier towards the Void, a barrier towards the Boundlessness. In Zen only awakeness is a bridge.

And so, what is Zen? Zen is an entrance without a door, a breeze without wind, a teaching without scriptures, a sea without waves, a love without worries, a life of lightness. When everything excessive has been removed from the person, this is Zen; everything excessive. Here I mean good thoughts as well, I explained that some time ago.

TRUTH

(Third idea for contemplation)

Next time we will talk about evil, demons, etc.

The Truth:

They asked a great Zen-Master, a great sword master who took ahimsa (ahimsa means a total abstinence from causing harm to any living being, a complete refusal), a great sword master, they asked him: Master, what would you do if in a dark alley you were attacked by bandits? The Master responded (notice, simple): In my life no dark alleys are found. –Here everything is Enlightened. It is like the devil wanting to meet God. Or the devil wanting to meet Lao Tzu. He has no one to meet there, there is the Boundlessness, it scares him. – In my life no dark alleys are found.

Zen is independent from all scriptures, sciences, religions. Zen lives in Truth and this is totally enough, simply enough.

For Zen freedom is given so that we own nothing else but the Truth. This is how Zen values freedom – it is given so that you own nothing but the Truth. You remember when we talked about Sufi, when that one ship was sinking, what was the most important thing for a Sage? They say it: The most important thing in a flood is what you can take with you. If you have Spirit, if you have Truth you are free, otherwise the flood is for you.

Zen does not bother with gloves. It grasps the Truth bare-handed.

In Zen Truth is spoken by Silence. I will explain: Zen uses words to lead the person into that state where there are no words – this is the Zen state, this is the Truth, this is the inexpressible.

Truth is not a question. It is Voidness, it is Mystery. Truth smites logic, logical people. It smites illogical people as well. It has a face only for sincere people. I will divert here for a bit: in Rousse the question arose about sincerity, a sister asked: I am very sincere and they insult me. – Let us not speak of the matter that the reasonable person, the awakened person cannot be offended by anyone, they have no such comprehension, but that is another topic. I said: If you really are sincere, this is already changing things. But how to become a sincere person? I will only hint this here, in time we will talk about sincerity according to the Sufi. They call it ihlas -sincerity, the teaching of sincerity. You have to train sincerity many years, many years. And this is not a measure, it is not enough. But if you are really sincere and in time if God joins in this sincerity, He then gives you the gift of sincerity. Sincerity is also a Divine gift. Whether or not God will give it, that is another matter.

They asked Al Rabiya: If I repent deeply for my old life will God accept my repentance? The answer of Al Rabiya: God will not accept your repentance, but if God decides He will accept it. So you can repent, but whether you are deeply sincere or not, God sees your depths, He will decide whether to accept your repentance or not. There is another law, a deeper one, but later on I will focus on that in more detail.

Zen says: When you ask about the Truth, ask yourself the question: Are you yourself Truthful? Ask yourself if you are Truthful because otherwise your question is thrown to the wind. Do not hurry to think, says Zen, that you are living, because only the Truthful person, only the Void person is living. You are only moving, movement is life, yes, you are moving.

What is Truth? This is a question with no answer. I will explain: questions that have no answer – this is the measure that they are true questions. Common knowledge, i.e. ignorance deals with questions that have an answer. Ignorance gives many answers, common knowledge gives many answers. Common knowledge is that which does not know, but it is speaking.

And so, the Void is your Essence, but this is no answer. Zen is not an answer. Zen is connected to the Sacred simplicity of Truth and it lives inside of it. It does not ask, does not even seek it, but lives it, manifests it. Like Meister Eckhart, he does not speak of God, but he speaks through God.

Zen says: You can experience Truth, but without explanations because here you forget explanations.

And so it is neither an answer, nor a question, this is simply Zen – your Pre-Eternity.

The Zen-Master is something very Truthful, because they never lead you towards themselves, they lead you towards Truth. They never lead you towards themselves, they do not want followers, nor do they seek them and deeply within themselves they do not want them – they lead you towards Truth so that you yourself can know yourself – the Source.

According to Zen the True Essence of a person is not in what they have, but in what they do.

A Zen-Master, whether they are speaking or being silent, is always an Elixir. Very simple – because here the Essence, Truth, is found.

They asked a Zen-Master: How do we rid ourselves of the shackles of life and death? The Zen-Master answered simply: Life and death do not exist. There is only Voidness, a great Boundlessness. There are no shackles there. It is not restricted by some death and some life.

Zen is the Truth, but the Truth is not a word. It looks like a word, but it is not. It is the Radiated Essence. What is radiated is Inexpressible and when we explain it it remains Inexpressible. But Zen says: You can however experience Truth, but without explanations because here you forget explanations. Because the Truth, the Primordial Essence is not part of the alphabet, of words, of speech – they are only compromises, they are only directions, only hints.

Here is a hint: A monk went to one Zen-Master and wanted to know where is the Entrance to Truth, where is the Entrance to Zen. The Master said to him: Do you hear the bubbling of the stream? The monk said: Yes, I hear it. Then the Zen-Master said: There is the Entrance. Go, there is the Entrance. If you understand, that is the Entrance.
