Extract from the DVD ‘Master from the Golden Mountains’

Who are we? How can we remember ourselves?

“Now is the beginning of a great time, the time of the beginning of the United Country. You will participate in this great work, the work the building of this New Country. How will it happened? Why has this time come?

'God can be expressed by three categories: infinity, oneness and life.

Therefore, God is manifested in an infinite number of forms, an infinite number of His likings. God created a lot of minute Absolutes, because He is infinite. In the “Higher Upanishad” was written: “Om Parlamendam Parlamendam” (“From a whole God comes another God, whilst God remains whole”).

You are parts of God, each one of you has a part of the Divine Light, but if God had not separated you from Himself, you would not have understood your Divine individuality, you would still be One with God, as a drop of water lost in the ocean. For this reason, so that all parts of God can acknowledge their individuality and become Gods - that is, become Absolutes -each part was put into a special mantle that separates it from the Divine. From within these mantles, we feel our difference in relation to God, different in relation to each other, different in relation to this world. However, we must overcome this feeling of being differentiated; we must overcome it by means of conscious efforts, so that we can understand our divinity, become divine as divine as the Absolute.

So that we could develop the Absolute created seven worlds: our physical, the etheric, vital, astral, mental, causal and nirvanic worlds. Each of these worlds represents an increasingly solid energy, but in the end, the physical world is the one that manifests the most solid energy amongst the energies capable of development and metamorphosis. Below our world there is the Black Hole: the matter of the Black Hole is already so dense that it cannot be inspired, it cannot change, it can only become denser and denser till, through solidification it reaches fast a point when it explodes again and becomes a star.

So…. a speck of the Absolute was put into these mantles.

How did this happen on Earth?

When the Universe was created, firstly the solar system was created..

You should know that the Sun and all the planets are the physical bodies of beings, beings called Archangels in Christianity. So, our Earth is a big physical body and also on it there are the mental, the astral and all the other bodies. This being or Archangel, could also be called Creator, because it imbues life and creates different forms of life on our planet, in the same way as humans build cars, in the same way as humans build houses. The Creator creates flowers, creates plants, creates human beings, creates animals and creates everything that has life on our Earth. Likewise, the other planets and the Sun are live entities, giant living creatures called Gods in paganism.

This decides the fate of all beings on our Earth.

You already know that a certain position of the planets at the time of birth gives each creature a certain program, a program humans are born with and which they manifest in their lives.

The same process occurs in the creation of other creatures.

When Earth appeared, the etheric level firstly started to inspire Earth. The etheric level started to approach the material or physical level: the first bacteria and the blue and green algae, started to appear the first plants. Plants are the most ancient entities on our planet.

Slowly the vital level started to approach Earth and the first insects and animals, that is the entities endowed with vital power or vital activity.

We can understand what vital activity is when we look at animals. An animal or an insect moves, and it is more active than the plant in its surroundings. An Animal has a very big influence on the environment.

Slowly the astral level started to approach the Earth and mammals begun to appear. Mammals are beings endowed with higher feelings: for example a dog can feel attachment to its owner and can, even, express some compassion, love and other relatively higher emotions uncharacteristic of primitive animals such as reptiles, dinosaurs and insects. These do not have feelings similar to those of developed mammals, especially domestic animals; there is a great deal of information concerning the intelligence of dolphins, to whom astral energy also goes to.

Finally, when the mental level approached the Earth, there appeared human beings, that is: thinking beings. Humans however do not control their mind. In this lies humans’ unhappiness, as they do not control their mind. Their mind functions works as if it were autonomous, as if moved by some kind of stereotypes, programs. People give programs to other people: parents to their children, priests and propagandist, new papers, television to parents ect…Humans have no control on their minds, they do not have a ‘czar’ in their heads, their consciousness is the centre that could take control over the mind and would make his mind work in a certain direction.

Now the great time has come when the causal level approaches us. Precisely in the causal level exists the center of human consciousness, which can keep tabs on the mind, can keep tabs on the emotions, can keep tabs on the vitality of the vital level. Now all beings can become like the great Masters: Buddha, Christ, Krishnamurti, Rajneesh and Gurdjieff. They all talked especially about the control over the mind, control of the mind which often started from the conscious efforts on stopping thoughts. You can also try and stop your thoughts, and you will notice that you cannot govern your mind and that, maybe, you can only control it for one or two minutes. We should learn that although causal level is approaching, it only gives us a chance, gives us a possibility to govern ourselves, so that large masses of people can control themselves. For this reason we must let go of the past, and let children be educated not by the parents, who are not educated and formed themselves; children will be educated by higher beings. Even now, on Earth, the Dalai Lama was brought up by monks, by advanced Buddhist tutors; Karmaka also was brought up by Buddhist tutors. He did not have parents and that’s why he directly received knowledge about spiritual development. All the children on our Earth must be educated in the same way. Some people live only for surviving. Normally people live only to survive and not for self-development. From someone living only for survival a person should turn into a person in development. This state of self development is not characteristic of many people, but it is a characteristic of you, of sadhaks, of other spiritual people and our mission is that right from childhood each child should start his development under the guidance of spiritual people. This will happen in the United Country.

A different structure of the world is needed for a child to be educated correctly right from childhood. Our mind and all that has been created is almost perfect. Buddha had such a body, Christ had such a brain; Rajneesh has this kind of body, Gurdjieff had this kind of brain, these persons simply were more developed incarnated souls. They had already walked a great part of the path of self development and that’s why in this body, with this brain they could already realize themselves, unfold huge abilities and control themselves. Everyone can do this! Each one of you, each person on Earth! What should we do? We must start to develop ourselves! Self development starts because the causal level activates it in us.

What is the causal level?

This is our consciousness; this is our ‘observer’.

What is consciousness?

You can sense consciousness for example, by counting the breathing. For example, you decide that you will count your breathing. This is the decision of your consciousness. Then you start to count and then something that distract you appear, may be a thought, a sound or something else, or maybe somebody comes into the room or a gust of breeze distracts you, and your consciousness falls asleep again. It sleeps in a mass of thoughts and associations and images. Later, however, you can spontaneously awake again. The causal level approaches you once more and gives you the possibility of awakening. When you are awakened, you remember: “This is ‘I’, I wanted to count my breathing, I wanted to become the ruler of myself.” In the moment you awake, you have the possibility to change. Firstly you can decide to pray to God, because when you pray sincerely, not as Christians pray reading some formal prayer, when you pray, in your heart appears love, humbleness and religious feelings, and this because religious feelings fill us with so much energy, so that we can be more conscious. This is why ‘holy effort’ exists. ‘Holy effort’ is when we pray and after that we stop our inner dialog or start counting our breathing. This is ‘holy effort’. Prayer gives us subtler energy that allows us to be conscious. We turn to God, we ask for His blessing, this clear, subtle energy awakens our consciousness, awakens the flame of Divinity inside of us, that which you really are.

People however identify themselves with their body, identify with their emotions, with their mind. In reality, body, emotions and mind are very complicated mechanism both of your consciousness and of yourselves. Remember that you are consciousness and that when you sleep, when you are lost in your sleep, your body remains reclined on the bed, but you take another body, the body of dreams, and with this you move, you do something, this indicates that you are not this physical body, you can act without your physical body. Think of how much time you really are in your body…You are in your body only when it troubles you, but for the largest part of your time you are on the subtle level, on the level of thoughts, forms, the level of some kind of desire. This means that you are not in your physical body, which, however, is not given to us accidentally. The physical body it is a heavy mute. When I entered the state of Samadhi for the first time and returned the Earth back to the physical body, it seemed to me that I entered my corpse. I felt that my physical body was really as a corpse, and that literally, if I had stayed longer in a state of Samadhi, I would have become disconnected from the physical body, which at this time would have died and would have started to decay. We literally are in a corpse; our physical body is a corpse. We have this physical body not by accident, this heavy mute often reminds us that we must remember ourselves. Often monks used to wear, for example, amulets or bracelets or something else that would remind them more of their physical body. Many of them, for instance, stood for hours in the cold, whereas others would use physically difficult movements so that the physical body would feel discomfort and would wake their consciousness. For this reason, being in the physical body is a very complicated thing; when you are in dreams, you can feel how easy it is, how free it is. Yet, remembering oneself in dreams is very difficult and this because dreams are not continuous. The physical body has a much thicker construction and, thus, is more stable than the world of thoughts and dreams. This is why it is much easier to awaken whilst inhabiting the physical body. This is why God put us into this heavy physical mantle. For all these reasons, this heavy, unmovable physical world had to be created. In dreams your wishes can manifest immediately. You imagine a house and this immediately manifests. On the physical level, however, you can waste several years to building even a small house. Here everything is much more complicated! When we, however, use these pain and difficulties to remember ourselves, then the physical world will be for us a perfect training field able to help us to remember ourselves.
