Completion of the Path
The scheme for studying the
structure of the Absolute that can be found below
(it was first published in the book
'The New Upanishad: Structure and Cognition of the Absolute' and was accompanied with its analysis) depicts the multi-layer (multidimensional, multi-eon, multi-loka) nature of the universe as well as positional relationships of the unstructured (akasha) and structured (matter, individual souls as well as forms that the Holy Spirit accepts) manifestations of the energies of the Absolute.
SCHEME FOR STUDYING THE STRUCTURE OF THE ABSOLUTE
At the same time we should understand that this scheme in the same way reflects the structure of the multidimensional human organism. The words from the Bible that God created man according to His image are about this and nothing else.
In the incarnated state man in the beginning identifies himself only with his body. But spiritual Self-realization implies gradual cognition of the remaining components of one’s organism, gaining the ability to move freely with concentration of consciousness within one’s multidimensional organism — just like one can learn how to shift self-awareness within one’s physical body. This is the task that man should try to accomplish.
At that, when man enters with concentration of consciousness into the Abode of the Creator and merges with Him there, he becomes an essential part of Him.
Coming out from the Abode through the Mirror into the world of Creation, He turns into the Holy Spirit.
But when He incarnates with a sacrificial mission of helping embodied people He becomes a Messiah (or Christ, or Avatar).
The ways of accomplishment of this task are set forth in this
and other books. Summing up the above said I want to emphasize the following.
The spiritual seeker who has developed his intellect to the proper level, who has realized the highest purpose of man and who conducts necessary ethical self-transformation, should develop himself — first within his body and then beyond it — as the spiritual heart, which he refines and expands. It is with the spiritual heart that we can explore the layers of the multidimensional space and enter the Abode of the Creator.
God is Love. And He lets into His Abode only those who have also become Divine Love.
And it makes sense to begin fulfilling the task of spiritual self-realization right now, without putting it off until tomorrow. For we may not see tomorrow in this physical body.
