To Understand God/What is the Understanding? (from Symeon the New Theologian)
What is the Understanding?
(from Symeon the New Theologian)
The understanding is not just a product of the activity of the mind. By using only the mind, we can merely evaluate received information.
The understanding is something much more profound than what people are accustomed to thinking! The true understanding is the mergence of souls and perceiving others as yourself!
In order to comprehend the essence of processes and phenomena, one, as a consciousness, needs to penetrate into the Depths of the Absolute and embrace everything that is there. For this, one needs to have a sufficiently developed intellect and a spiritual heart with strong arms.
To understand another person, it is necessary to become this person for some time; this is the work of the consciousness.
And, in order to understand God, one must become God!

Listen to the Truth!
(from Matthew the Apostle)
Listen to the Truth!
Open the doors of your heart widely and live in this way! Live being a spiritual heart that is completely open!
I am in the Depth below the material world!
I am nourishing this world in order to help souls grow!
So, love My Creation as I love it, for love is the only beneficial food for souls!

On the Understanding
(from Mary Magdalene)
For each person, it is important to be understood by the people around him or her. Everyone has the need for such understanding and longs for it, even though most people themselves rarely make the effort to deeply understand their neighbors.
Each person has the power to understand and should develop this ability more and more! A soul can understand another soul and, in the same way, a soul can learn to understand God!
Additionally, it is important for each person to know that God also understands us. God sees all our thoughts, emotions, and desires, all our fears and aspirations, all the causes that make us act in this or that way! God knows absolutely everything about everyone! Nothing is hidden from Him!
For those who long to know the Divine Will and try to love God, it is fundamental to know that God understands us, loves us, and is willing to help us in our development and in the understanding of His Will!
With tenderness and care, God is willing to participate in the life of every soul who directs its love to Him!
To realize that God always understands you and that you can also understand God — understand what He wants from people in general and from you in particular now, tomorrow, each month, each year, and throughout all of your life on Earth — can become a great insight for an incarnate person!
To discover for oneself the reality of the Love-Understanding of God is enough to initiate the catharsis or purification of the soul!
It is quite real to establish a mutual understanding with God!
The main key for this is the development of heart love!
Love unites souls!
Love allows one to eliminate one’s egocentrism and, instead of seeing oneself in the center of a small world where everything is “mine” and “for me”, see the infinite universe, the Creation of God, in which everything is created by Him for the development and self-perfection of His small and big children!
* * *
Developing the ability to understand another person is a big step towards gaining the ability to understand God.
We can begin to master the mutual understanding with an interlocutor by maintaining our own inner silence, by listening to and feeling this person without interrupting him or her with the hustle of our thoughts.
We can love and care for other people while avoiding both violence and the imposition of our own will on them.
We can learn to communicate in this way with our relatives, children, co-workers, or strangers with whom we only came in contact with for just a moment.
However, if we encounter those who, due to their blindness of the soul, are filled only with hatred, then we must, if possible, distance ourselves from these people and have no business with them (unless it becomes necessary to protect someone from these people).
* * *
The Divine Love pours onto everyone, but it manifests itself in different ways. For example, sometimes God will caress people. Other times, God will help people understand by applying strict measures on them. And other times, He does not do anything, waiting for the right time to exert His influence.
So, when helping another person, you should also sense and evaluate whether the quantity of your help is adequate and whether your help is timely! Overeating even a beneficial food can cause harm, provoking, for example, indigestion. This is even more true when it is comes to spiritual knowledge and initiations!
In addition, each person to whom spiritual help is provided should, from a certain point, start walking by himself or herself and learn to lean on God rather than on other people.
Nevertheless, developing heart love and observing the laws of kindness is appropriate for everyone, regardless if this person is a big or a small soul. This cannot cause any harm.

Unfortunately, so far only a few people were able to understand what Jesus taught, even though everything is so simple, namely:
— God is Love and one can understand Him only by transforming oneself (as a soul) into Love!
— Understand what God wants from you and do it! Then the Way to Heaven will open up for you!
— Fulfill in your life all that God wants from you and you will be with Jesus in the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the Abode for All Those Who have fulfilled the Teachings of God in their totality!

Self-perfection is the Task
for an Incarnate Soul
(from Andrew the Apostle)
One does not live on the Earth to drink, eat, have fun, make money, spend it, satisfy some desires, and later generate new ones. No, this is not the purpose of human life! (Even though on the early stages of the development of the soul, desires and needs stimulate the growth and development of some positive and negative qualities).
At some point, the soul parts with its body, which is what people are accustomed to calling “death”. Next will come the “harvest time”, the time to recapitulate on what was done in the body, and it will be sad if what was done is less than what could have been done.
It is very important to understand that a person, as a soul, is not really separated from God or from other souls that live and evolve on this planet. The feeling of separation is generated by the limited perception of the small human mind. However, during the development of the soul, these limitations are easily eliminated by the correct understanding of the purpose of the life in a material body.
And self-development or self-perfection is the task of the life of the soul!
By loving others that live nearby and by helping them in all that is good, one finds for oneself the best opportunities for one’s own development. A person who lives for others and experiences the joy and satisfaction for both the help provided to others and for the happiness given to others, gradually develops the Divine qualities within himself or herself!
Such a person can also learn to embrace with his or her love a bigger and bigger volume of space in which there are those whom he or she loves and whom he or she helps. They do not necessarily need to be people. One can also give one’s caring-love to souls that live in bodies of plants and animals.
Thanks to this, a person begins to experience that he or she is needed by others and that he or she participates in the life and development of everything that is around . It is a pleasant and correct feeling!
Later on, one can include God, the Creator and Main Teacher, in one’s understanding of the meaning of life.
It is essential, because the meaning of self-perfection consists in flowing into the Creator, in becoming One with Him within the Great Divine Ocean of Love! In this Mergence, there is the highest happiness that a soul can experience! This can be called Nirvana, life in the Kingdom of Heaven, Self-realization, transformation into the Higher “I”, or by other words. However, the essence is not in the words! The important thing is that only the Mergence with the Primordial Consciousness gives final Liberation and the Highest Bliss!
Those Who have achieved the Perfection live in this Blissful Unity without interruption.

The Open Door to the Divine World
(from Mark the Apostle)
“I am the door; whoever enters through Me
will be saved (...)” (John 10:9).
The Door to the Divine world, opened by Jesus two thousand years ago, is open right now as well.
However, are there many people who have entered and are there many who are trying to enter?
Those who could have entered are much more numerous than those who have actually done so.
For this reason, We are here and We try once again to bring the true knowledge about God to people.
We wish to help those who are ready to walk towards God-the-Father!
This Path is the Path of the transformation of oneself as a soul!
We are keeping this Door open and We shine with Our Light, the Light of the Divine Souls, inviting you in this way to start the Path!
Without any doubt, before and after Jesus, there have been Great Divine Teachers on the Earth Who taught to humanity and Who explained this Path to people.
Nevertheless, We, the Disciples of Jesus, observe now a great number of people who call themselves Christians but do not see this wide open Entrance to the Abode of Love, to the Abode of the Heavenly Father! For this reason, We repeat again and again:
— Simple and clear is the Path of Love!
— But it requires renunciation of one’s own egocentrism, the life only for oneself, and learning to live for God!
For one who has learned to understand God and has learned to live for Him, it is very easy to carry life on the Earth!
And it should be mentioned that to live for God does not mean performing certain rituals and following certain “rules”!
To live for God means perfecting oneself as a soul and doing those things that can help other souls in their evolution.
That person is happy who knows how to be happy by making others happy!
If such a person feels joy and God’s approval as a response to what he or she does, then his or her life becomes filled with real meaning and brings the greatest happiness!
God directs this person, helps him or her to correct committed errors, and gives the Bliss of His Presence thus rewarding this person for the correctly directed efforts!
Living in this way, this spiritual practitioner easily climbs the steps of the development of the soul that lead to the open Door of the Abode of the Creator!

Recommendation from Matthew the Apostle
Live without agitation and feel Me all the time!
Yes, it is necessary to take care of earthly matters! But soon worldly affairs will go away, and then what?
Look, My open Arms and My open Heart are always with you! They are like an Entrance to the Creator, to the Great World of the Heavenly Father!
We are always waiting here for you! This is, from now on, your Universal Home, yours and Ours, whereas in the earthly world everything is transitory!
Look at, for example, this dry leaf that the light wind is carrying along the surface of the water…
This leaf opened, became green, and grew, but later it became yellow and fell from the tree thus making its final flight… And now it is swimming on the smooth surface of the water…
You, on the other hand, should transform yourself into a Divine Soul so that you can be with Us always after leaving the earthly world and so that you can obtain the Great Divine Calm!
And later, having dissolved yourself in the Infinity of the Creator, you can rise from there being the Divine Fire and manifesting the Will of the Heavenly Father!

The Giants of the Spirit
(from Odin)
In the shallows of life, just like in the breaking waves of the ocean, souls are shaken and are moving to and fro in endless worries and agitations.
These are small souls, who eat, sleep, reproduce, and grow almost without being aware of themselves.
In the high and low waves of existence, exposed and influenced by the winds and bad weather of their destinies, these beings live.
In tiny fluctuations, in little falls and flights of low height, they spend their short lives inside of the swirls of the ordinary things in which they still cannot see the Great Path to the Depths…
But there also exists a different life.
Here are the mountains! Staying in the middle of the sea, they easily resist the pressure of the elements! They are unshakeable before the blows of winds and severe storms!
And they are also beautiful and magnificent in the calm of a tender sunrise or sunset!
The mountains are united with the whole Earth and their deep foundation is indestructible!
The Giants of the Spirit are similar to the mountains! Their foundation is in the Abode of the Creator!
This is how the Great Ones live, the Ones Who, knowing God, are unshakeable and indestructible before the blows of events that happen in worldly life!
They manifest Their Wisdom, Power, and Love to people!
And those who are still subject to the futile agitations from the changeability of life can understand Their Calm, Their Love, and Their Wisdom.
The Greatness of the Giants of the Spirit can serve as an example and give hope to the traveler who wants to overcome the setbacks of destiny in the maelstrom of life and continue his or her Path towards the Great Goal! The Giants of the Spirit really serve as beacons for those who yearn to grow in the love and purity of the soul and who perseveringly search for the life in Unity with God!
It is necessary for one to reach the understanding of the meaning of existence and of the Goal of incarnate life! The Giants of the Spirit illuminate with Themselves the Path that leads to the cognition of the Creator of everything, to the Unity with both the Creative Power and the Eternal Lord, Who is One and Infinite in the universe, Who contains within Himself, in the indissoluble Unity, all Those Who have achieved Him!

About the Beauty of the Earth
and about Love
(from Volhva)
I will tell you about the beauty of the Earth and about love.
The dome of the sky above the earth is filled with silence and is transparent! Below this, dwell the beautiful creatures of God!
This is the temple of nature and beauty, built by the Love of the Creator for us!
Always and in all places His Love and Joy are with you!
See the miracle that the sky unfolds for you at sunrise, when dawn is born over the forest in the luminous and bright amber!
See the sunset that turns pink over a steppe!
Experience the transparent calm with which the vastness is filled with!
Spring greets you with its cheerful verdure and tinkling of streams! The songs of flocks of migrating birds ring over My beloved Earth and gladden the heart with heavenly joy!
Behold the summer that crowns the fertile land with golden fields! Behold a loaf of bread that carries within itself the fruits of human labor, the gifts of the Earth!
And autumn that makes golden foliage dance and washes the land with its transparent rains!
With the glitter of snow, winter delights the eye!
And once again the tranquility of winter is changed by the awakening of the beautiful spring!
This is how the beauty of nature teaches us to love and to open our spiritual hearts!
The world of the pristine purity of nature, the paradisiacal world that was created by the Creator, is now before us!
Get to know it! Look from the heart, and you will see everything that is so beautiful and in tune with the Love, Bliss, Tenderness, and Caress of God!
When you feel the heart love, it will open in the soul a spring of transparent water!
Happy are those who see the presence of the Creator in all the beauty that is around them, in the grass that began to turn green on a mound, in newly opened and tender little leaves of a birch tree, or in the transparent waters that come from snow that has melted!
Like a spring day that wakes and warms everything and everyone, so lives the person who carries the heart light inside him or her!
And later only one steps remains to be made towards the cognition of the Creator of all this beauty!
* * *
The purification of the soul implies — as a prerequisite — the understanding of what is good and what is bad according to the opinion of God.
After this, not causing harm and consciously doing good is the change that allows one to advance on the Straight Path!
Living in the spiritual heart makes one unable to think in a negative way, with condemnation, and also prevents one from reacting offensively or angrily. Such a person extinguishes the disharmonies with his or her soft calm and embraces everything with his or her love and care.
This can and should be learned!
Each person transforms by himself or herself! The Teachers only explain the possibilities!
And it is not possible to force someone to be good, but it is possible to talk about this in such a way that one wants to be good!
The Light of Love and the Great Bliss arise when the human soul touches the Divine Soul!
The Divine Fire and the Higher “I” lights up where the individual “I” burns and dissolves in God!
