Apostle Philip
“I am glad that you came here…
“Do you remember how on this place,
when Vladimir brought you here, you for the first
time could see Jesus with the eyes of the soul
and received His blessing to continue your efforts…
You were at the very beginning of the Path to the
Father…”
“I do remember it… I remember it in
all details!
“Philip, please tell about how You
saw Jesus for the first time.”
“Well…
“At that time, we had been waiting
for the advent of the Messiah for a long time…
“… One day My sister ran into the
house crying:
‘Philip, He has come!…’
“She could say nothing more…
“Many people went to the open space
out of the village, where He wanted to speak.
“A lot of people had gathered, but
there were no usual hubbub and bustle; everybody
waited…
“Suddenly, amazing transparent
silence fell.
“And Jesus began to speak.
“He spoke not loudly, but it seemed
that His soft voice sounded not outside, but inside
everyone who listened… And whatever far from Him
people stood, they could hear each His word…
“… Later, many times I experienced
that amazing state when Jesus submerged all the
listeners into His Consciousness and spoke with each
soul as if one-to-one, however many people were
around… And everyone knew that Jesus spoke
personally to him…
“… When the sermon was finished,
people dispersed overfilled with what they heard.
They walked in silence as if fearing to spill the
invaluable truths with which Jesus filled their
souls.
“And I… could not move: My legs as
if stuck to the ground…
“I did not know how I would live
further without Him… Everything I had been doing
before, had lost its meaning…
“But only He could teach to do the
things about which He told…
“Jesus came to Me Himself and called
Me by My name as if He knew Me… He asked, do I want
to follow Him?…
“I answered:
‘I do, Lord! Wherever You go — take
me with You!…’
“Jesus touched My shoulder and said:
‘Come, you may follow Me…’”
“… Philip, tell us please about how
Jesus taught…”
“It is difficult to convey it with
words… He taught by all His life; He taught by each
His deed and word!…
“He exposed in us that which was
imperfect. He taught to root out vices in oneself,
because one cannot approach the Father having not
become the Pure Light!
“He taught meditation: taught by
submerging us into His states, by explaining how to
enter them, how to retain them in whatever hard
conditions our bodies are.
“Commissioned He one of us to do
something, worked He Divine miracles in our
presence… — every His word and deed changed
something in those who listened and followed Him.
“Since the time we met Jesus, we had
no life other than the life with Him. Everyone
renounced everything they had in the earthly
world — in order to follow the Lord!
“But this was not enough to become
One with the Father, as Jesus taught. One has
to renounce also the ‘self’…
“He did not have much time…
“… We had to complete the
transfiguration of Ourselves and to cognize the
fullness of being in Mergence with the Heavenly
Father — when We were walking to different countries
carrying His Teaching to people. And Jesus was
always with every One of Us…”
“Do You want to say something more,
Philip?”
“I would like to, but there are no
words in the world to express this… I would like to
tell about the Love for Jesus… I will tell about
this without words to anyone who addresses to Me… I
am ready to help all who seek Jesus, who seek the
Father!
“Jesus and many other Sons and
Daughters of the One Father breathed life into those
your undertakings which will create a new spiritual
spring on the planet Earth! We All are glad to give
Our help to you!”
Meditation Cross
(Unrhymed literal translation
from Russian)
|
The Cross of Jesus is the entrance
To the Abode of the Father!
Beyond the Cross, beyond your back —
There is the Gate to Heaven!
There, behind the Wings of the Cross —
There is the Heart of Jesus!
The Heart of Jesus opened
The Embrace of the Father!
Whatever happens here —
There is always behind your back
The veil which was torn then;
It is the Gate to Home!
In the Bridal Chamber
There is the Shining of the Creator’s Light!
Here the Sons and Daughters
Cognize the Father!
There — All Who cognized Him
And became One.
There — the Perfect Light, the Creator —
The foundation of Everything!
Jesus opened wide by Himself
This Shining Path!
By the Living Vine He manifested to the world
The Essence of Universal God! |
