Assyris
A sphere, looking like the sun, made
of subtlest goldish Living Light, easily visible to
the eyes of consciousness, emerged once from
the Ocean of the Creator and rests now above the
surface of the Earth. It permeates the forest with
Divine Tenderness. This is a place of power
of Assyris, His working site for teaching
incarnate students.
“Tell us please about Your past!”
“First, embrace Me from outside and
be Me inside!…” laughs Assyris.
… We merge together. Now there is
only He…
Then He begins narrating:
“Long ago I raised two ‘waves’ of
spirituality on the Earth; one — on the land of
ancient Assyria and Persia, long before the
establishment of Islam there, another one — on the
land of Russia, before the coming of Christianity.
“I supported these ‘waves’ from My
non-incarnate state.
“People worshipped Me as the God
of Sun or God of Fire. Usually I would
come to My students in forms similar to the Sun
or Divine Fire. And only occasionally I would
assume, for a short time, the form of a herdsman or
a wanderer — an appearance visible to ordinary
people.
“I was not born, nor did I die in
this Kalpa… I acted through My Children, Who
could easily perceive Me…
“I taught worshipping not the sun or
fire — but the One Father existing in everything…
And I continue teaching this now.
“The methods which I suggested are
most precisely represented in your Three Steps of
Centering.
They were three fundamental stages of development,
which students had to master one after another.
“First, the spiritual heart of any
person has to develop in everyday life. And only the
one who becomes absolutely steadfast in the states
of love-giving receives the possibility of further
growth in a spiritual school which has serious
esoteric methods.
“Only after this — on the first
stage of studying in My School, students mastered
spreading with the spiritual heart over the
surface of the Earth and then — dissolving of the
consciousness.
“The second stage implied living in
the state of a spiritual heart united with
the ‘Heart of the planet’. Mastering this
stage normally would take more than one incarnation
of the soul… Students also came to know first
contacts with the Creator.
“On the third stage, students
cognized the Creator.
“And then, all these three centers
of self-awareness had to be connected by a Ray of
God’s Sun going through the physical body of the
student. At that, the center where this Ray
originated was the Heart of the Absolute…
“When this Ray becomes a constant
attribute of the soul coessential to the Creator,
then such a person would become a Son of God
or a Daughter of God. It was the fullness of
soul’s self-realization.
“I would not like to tell now about
the further steps. I want to tell about another
thing.
“I want to tell you also about the
Love of God, about how unconditional the Divine Love
is.
“This Love is like the light of the
Sun, which shines equally on everyone, warming
everyone… It is the nature of the Sun — to shine…
The nature of fire is to be bright and to warm; the
nature of sugar is to be sweet; the nature of the
Sun is to shine; the nature of love is to give!
“Let Me repeat: the nature of love
is to give oneself to others!
“Love is the state in which God
lives…
“And God shines: from Himself, with
Himself!
“Some people aspire to light; others
hide in the shade… But all they receive the life
from Him!
“One has to learn being the Light
of God’s Love!
“One has to live not as a body, but
as Light Giving Itself! One has to
shine with Love — then the soul gradually
transforms into the Purity of the Clear Light of
the Creator!”
“… And now I am going to outline for
you the two last steps of the Path. The first one of
them you have mastered already, though you need to
strengthen yourself on this level. This is the
‘program-minimum’. And the ‘program-maximum’ is the
next step which I also suggest for you.
“… The attributes of the Warrior of
Spirit are a Shield and a Sword.
“For the Warrior of Spirit, the life
in the material world is the life on the
battlefield.
“In order to become independent and
invincible, to avoid becoming engaged into the
tumult of earthly passions, and to develop the
detachment — the Warrior of Spirit gains a Shield.
“One has to fight for this Shield.
The Warrior of Spirit receives it as a result of
many years of everyday struggle for the Perfection.
“Possessing the Shield
implies the ability of living in the Heart of the
Absolute, behind the Curtain, much deeper
than this world with its whirling of passions. From
the very Depth, the Warrior of Spirit raises
with the strong arms the Curtain as an
infinite in size Shield and makes himself or
herself invincible. This is the Shield of the
Creator. It is impenetrable to earthly passions, to
hatred of enemies, to mundane fuss.
“However, one can attain more. The
one who learns living in constant Mergence with
Eternity of the Creator, who lives beneath the
Shield as an Infinite Heart united with the
Heart of the Absolute, with the Sun of God —
such a one receives a Sword.
“The Sword is a Divine Ray,
unchanging in its original subtlety and coessential
to the Sun of God, which is directed from the
very Essence of Everything — to the Creation.
“The Sword implies the
ability of doing in all fullness the Will of the
Creator on the Earth. It is a Scepter gifted by the
Father, a symbol of the Royal Power. It is
the Intent of the Creator; it is the whole
Power of God concentrated in One Ray and directed to
the world of the Creation, bringing fully to any
object the Will of the Creator. The Creator says,
‘Be!’ and it happens!”
“What would you advise us now?”
“Whatever happens around you on the
material plane — contrast it with the Eternity of
Life in Me.
“And another thing: you have to
inspire people to serving Me! You have to kindle
their hearts with the ideas of service to God!”
