On the Forbidden Letters by Daniel Srsa
I read the letters and they mean nothing in particular. It appears to be an
aftereffect of "De Vinci Code". That's all. It's more or less a concoction of
esoteric truths that lack the substance. There are many truths said there but
they lack any meaning because they have no context. The letters seem to advocate
an atheistic approach to reality, which is wrong. Bible in general and New
Testament in particular are far from perfect and it's a common knowledge that
the Gospels, as well as the non-biblical apocrypha were written long after
Christ's departure yet that doesn't mean Christ was not a great spiritual master
of his time. He was one of many great souls that came with the message of love
for benefit of humanity. He did not come to create new religion. It's his
followers who establish the Christian Church. Christianity as such has very
little in common with teachings of Christ. It was an invention of Roman emperors
who have seen in it an opportunity to consolidate the ailing Roman empire.
Later, their successors used it for their own personal gain. That is history of
not only Christianity but every religion. When the man is alive they persecute
him but when he is dead they build a religion on his grave. Teachings of Christ
have nothing in common with Church - they are poles apart. Church neither
understands the Bible nor does it care to understand what's said in there. It's
all the foreign language not only to the Church Fathers but even to those who
wrote such letters and imagine that God is non-existent and Christ was just an
imaginary figure. It's simply wrong. Who do they think is responsible for all
this Creation?
As I said, there are many esoteric truths there but I doubt that the authors of
those letters really know what they are talking about. This "stone", "kundalini"
and "alchemy" they refer to, all point to self-realization and God-realization,
which is in biblical language simply referred as salvation. It's common
knowledge that physical alchemy or chemistry as we normally call it, is only a
by-product of a real alchemy, which is the spiritual alchemy. Even the so-called
"philosopher's stone" refers to the souls that are fully realized and can act as
the catalyst of the human transformation. In this respect, Jesus, together with
many others, past and present had the capacity to act as "philosopher's stone";
hence he was a great alchemist. A man that has fully realized his human
potential is a divine being (in letters referred as Shakti power etc). That is
what Jesus was. But Prophet Mohamed or Buddha were also the same, together with
many other less known perfect human beings. The subtle body of man, which is
referred in the holly scripture as "Son of Man" is simply the soul of man. The
soul is subtle body because it's the future body of man (as per well known
karmic principles or in biblical terms "as you sow, so shell you reap"). The
soul is that unrealized potential that must mature in time and yield a fruit as
per its own deserts. There is no secret here. This soul can be awaken through
such "alchemical" process, which is neither kundalini nor any other hidden power
but only love. We should remember the first and the only true commandment Jesus
spoke about and which is "Love thy Lord with all your heart, body and mind". All
the rest of Gospels only try to incalculable the same message. But what the mind
knows about the path of love?
Love is the true alchemy and the true "kundalini" or "stone". It's not just a
feeling, but the most potent force of the universe. It's the vehicle of creation
and evolution. Without it, the universe would dissolve in an instant. Without
it, man will not be able to draw even the single breath. The "feeling" of love
is only its lowest common denominator. The entire creation consists of the
varying degrees of concentration of that love. What's love? It's the
gravitational power of attraction and without it, there would be no universe,
Earth, man or whatever. Love is the Sun, moon and the entire universe. It's all
love in its various manifestations. You can call that love God, you can call it
whatever you want, but this is what it is. God gives his life so that we can
have life. Can we reciprocate and give our life so that He can live. That's
salvation. Salvation is to merge in God, to live in God's will, which is pure
love. Unless we surrender our ego and our separate existence, we remain in the
cage of our limited mind. Mind is an enemy of soul. As long as we calculate,
think, theorize, argue etc., the mind dominates the soul. As long as mind
dominates soul, there is no love. As long as there is no love, there is no
evolution. Only the agony of love will surmount those obscure superstitious
beliefs and hard ingrained mental concepts. No pain, no gain. No love, no life.
Unless we can let our limited mind and our limited consciousness go, we will
never realize that hidden potential within, which is nothing but the soul
(love). It's our future. This is salvation - to realize God within. It's said
that Kingdom of God is within. Jesus said so, Buddha said so, Mohammed said so,
Vedic scriptures say so, Tao says so etc. etc. Find it and you will gain life
eternal. It's also said "Attain Kingdom of God and all those other things will
be added unto You". Find love and you got it all. Get the Giver and all the
gifts are yours. Conquer your mind and you have conquered the universe. Conquer
death and you have gained life eternal. How can one get life immortal? Certainly
not through this physical body, as the writers of those letters try to imply.
Body is mortal. It must die. All that's born must die. To believe anything to
the contrary is to be deluded.
Only soul is immortal but do we believe we have it? Soul is more real than the
body but we do not know that. It's the subtle, incomplete body. It will be born
only when it's fully matured. As long as mind is alive, soul is dead. Only love
has the potential to overcome the dualism and conflicts of the mind. Beyond that
limited consciousness of the mind is the mind divine. Beyond those rumbling
thoughts is the silence of our soul, which is part of the divine being. Beyond
this egotistical consciousness is the universal consciousness - the knowledge of
the entire universe resides beyond boundaries of our limited mind. This is the
true alchemy and true kundalini. Yogis never knew the power divine. Yogic
exercises are limited to material benefits to the body and mind. They have
nothing to do with soul or God. Religion means "union with God". It's the true
alchemy. And the real "philosopher's stone" and real alchemist is a fully
realized human being. It's a human being that's not limited by its personal mind
but has an access to that divine consciousness and that divine mind we call
soul. It's a human being that has given his separate existence and his personal
life so that God can live. Jesus said "I am in the father and the father is in
me". He also said, "I came not to do my Will but the Will of the one who sends
me". It means he is on the conscious level one with God. He lives in Will of
God. He has no personal desires, no personal thoughts, no personal beliefs. He
doesn't live according to his limited mental concepts but according to that
universal truth. He and the father are one - they share the same divine mind, we
call our soul. That's true alchemy - to let go all mental concepts, all
inhibitions, all duality, injustice and immorality and accept love as the only
guidance. Love is the supreme reason. It's an unlimited reason as opposed to
limited reason of the mind. Compared with soul, the rumblings of the mind are no
better than barking of a dog. And who understands what dog barks about? If we
keep on going like this - guided by loveless mind, we will never realize that
potential within. We will never know the truth.
It's true that macrocosm is within the microcosm and vice versa. It's the
fractal nature of reality - "as above so below, as without, so within". Outer
universe is projection of the inner universe. All mystics know that. There are
suns, moons and stars within every one of us but as Jesus said "light shines
within a man yet darkness comprehended it not" As we close our eyes all we see
within our mind is darkness, yet this darkness is a veil beyond which light
dwells. And in that light the is entire creation - the universe of all the
universes together with their Creator. God is within but "unless your eye
becomes single, you will not see that light, you will not see that universe
within and you will not see God". now, what's that single eye? It's nothing but
what's called third eye in Vedic scriptures or Buddhism or a "dark spot" in
traditions of Islam. A single eye is the inner eye. The single inner eye is an
effect of two outer eyes. Reality is 3 dimensional. Two outer eyes are eyes of
the mind. They create dual picture. The inner eye is single. It's an eye of the
soul. It's the eye of love. It's only eye with which we can realize God within
and thus merit the life eternal. If one merges with the God, then such person is
a personification of God (my father and I are the same). God is immortal. This
is true immortality, true alchemy, true "stone" or kundalini. This is not
philosophy. It's reality. Man can become God if he can reciprocate his love - if
he can surrender his life, his separation, his mind and ego. This is salvation -
to become God but that's possible only with love. That's why we should love God
with all our heart, body and mind. But how to love that unmanifested power we
call God? Truth is that man cannot love God. He doesn't know if there is a God,
much less who God is, so how can man love God? He cannot. It's a Kal Yuga. It's
an age of darkness and ignorance when the only God we worship is our own mind.
And as all the mystics and even yogis know - mind is an agent of that negative
power, call it Kal, Devil or whatever you want but this is what mind is. We are
all Devil's worshipers. We cannot love God as long as we love our minds. It's
the mind that is a barrier between us and Him.
Man can love God only in a true age - the Sat Yuga or Golden Age, so we are not
far off since this Kal Yuga ends soon (21.12.2012). But until then there is only
one way to love God - through his human incarnations or personifications - and
Jesus was one of them. That's why it's said that " you will not see the Kingdom
of heaven except through me". Unless you love Jesus you cannot love God because
Jesus and God are the same. They share the same consciousness. But the trick is
that Jesus died long ago so to love him is not possible just as it is not
possible to love God directly. Jesus is one with God now and he cannot help us.
It's a deception to believe that we can love a person who died 2000 years ago. A
woman cannot merry someone who lived 2000 years ago and much less can she have a
child by him. Another saying of Jesus said that "He is the light and life of
this world AS LONG AS HE IS IN THIS WORLD". We tend to overlook what doesn't
suit our beliefs. Jesus is dead but his teaching is alive but who understands
it? He cannot be anyone's savior now because he can save only those who loved
him with all their hearts, mind and bodies in his own time. He also said "I will
know my sheep and my sheep will know me" We are not his sheep, neither is he our
shepherd. We are 2000 years out of place to be his sheep or for him to be our
shepherd. So what's the clue to salvation then? How can this dead soul awake and
overcome the limitations of our ego and mind. How can we gain salvation and life
eternal. We cannot unless we know this alchemy, unless we find this holly Grail,
which is nothing but pure and unalloyed love. If there is love in our hearts
then we will utilize our life for the purpose it was given to us - we will
search for a living incarnation of God. We will search for a living incarnation
of Christ because such incarnation is always present amongst us. What kind of
God would that be if he sends one Redeemer in 2000 years and all those souls
living before or after him have no hope of salvation? If there was a need for a
Redeemer than than it must be a constant need.
This is the true Quest for Holly Grail. Forget Hollywood and best-selling
fictions. This is the true bloodline. It's a line that has no beginning or end
because it's as old as creation. Jesus was one of them. The secret knowledge was
imparted to Him by John the Baptist. He has awaken the dormant love within
Christ the man. He has given him an opportunity to conquer limitations of his
ego and become personification of God. Jesus passed on the secret of love to his
disciples. Many were his followers. Prophet Mohamed gained his power through the
same bloodline. There were many mystics in Islamic world and India who kept the
Holly Grail alive but unfortunately for the West and so-called Christianity,
this bloodline was driven underground and persecuted to extinction. Holly Grail
is not in Scotland or France. More likely it's in Lebanon or India. It's all an
imagination. Jesus wasn't married. He had no son or daughter. His sons and
daughters were those who were one with him in the spirit. His disciples were his
children, his wife, his father and his mother. The holly Grail is a living
person, a living incarnation of God. It's a living Jesus. A person that's love
incarnate. Only by merging in the person who is merged into God can we also
merge and become one with God and thus attain life eternal. Only by loving with
all our hearts, mind and soul the person, which loves God in the same way, can
we love God and give life to our dead souls. That's the true alchemy of this Kal
Yuga. Find the Savior or else you die when you die. You either attain the life
everlasting or the everlasting shame that life has been wasted. And the writers
of those letters waist their lives big time. They think that it is a game! If
they think there is no God, then there is no God for them; hence there is no
life eternal either. How can God know them if they do not know him?
There is nothing but mental rumbling in those letters - an endless search for
arguments and intellectual gymnastics. Why this, why that? Who cares! If you
give a lamp to a blind man he will still not find the way. Unless you read it
with the same heart as the one who wrote it, it will all remain a big mystery to
such unenlightened ones. What does mind know about the ways of the heart. They
seek for perfection in an imperfect world. The divine truth is communicated
directly (Sruti in Vedic literature). All the human communications are of second
degree (Smriti in Vedic literature) because they are liable to duality,
interpretation, doubts and corruption through the human mind. Hence such hair
splitting and arguments will only obscure even more what is already obscured.
All is possible in mind's eye but only one thing is certain in soul's eye. There
can be only one thing that's real at the same time in the same place. You can go
on analyzing and arguing about this and that for ever and at the end you are
still not any closer than when you begun. But if you have a heart than all will
be revealed in an instant. Christ did not baptize by the fire of "kundalini". He
baptized by the "fire" of inner light, which is love! It's only an example to
what distance one's mind can go just to justify its own selfish injustice. And
the "stone" is the philosopher's stone that transmutes iron into gold. The
philosopher's stone was Christ himself because he purified the mind and
transformed death into life, ignorance into wisdom and beastly into divine. No
one can gain salvation and immortality unless purified by such living "stone".
And that's certainly not a "kundalini" stone but a stone of pure and unalloyed
love. Only love has a power to transform even the worst sinner and the worst
criminal into an instant saint and the very personification of all divine
attributes. There is no wisdom in it. It's an old truth. Why do we want to
invent new truths and change unchangeable? Why do we want to die?
They are right when they say that "stone" is in the body. Soul is in the body.
God is in the body. The body is Universe of universes. Everything is in the
body. What's body but the universe seen from outside? And what's universe but a
soul seen from inside? One is a holographic projection of another. All
differences are relative in space and temporary in time. In the end it's all the
same. In the end it's all God. All else is a relative or temporary insanity
(from which we will wake up on winter solstice 2012, which is the day of the
Lord, when such inner or subtle stone must surface from the subtle (inner)
realms into our everyday outer reality). The soul is the connection between an
individual and all else. It's a link between man and God. It's love. There is
nothing fictional about it. Unless duality is surmounted, unless the soul
overcomes the mind then soul remains an unrealized possibility. It will never be
born. That's what's meant by those utterances quoted at the beginning of their
5th letter. How can becoming omnipotent be anything but work of love and faith.
Unless there is love and faith nothing can be accomplished. With at least a
little bit of love and faith even our daily tasks will be impossible to
accomplish.
I do not think it's wise to get entangled into physical discussion about the
macrocosmic or relative space and microcosmic or quantum space because this will
only open yet another Pandora's box, but they seek for the same kind of singular
perfection in a dual and relative world as they seek in the holly scriptures.
They have no understanding and cannot see that it's all the same because time
within acts as space without and vice versa. Of course there are instant or
parallel (simultaneous) actions on quantum level because quantum level is a
gravitational level and what's the gravity but an angular potential - a force of
attraction that we in our everyday language call love (or fear if it is a
repulsion - an opposite of attraction). Gravity is singular or resonant point of
space/time duality. It's the very force of creation. It's love. Mind works on
the level of space/time division. Soul is a gravitational manifestation; hence
it's beyond bounds of either space or time - but only until winter solstice 2012
when time ends and such duality becomes invalid. Than all that's left is that
gravitational truth or truth on the quantum level. What's truth on gravitational
level but love. It's only love that counts in the end. It's only love that's
recognized in the court of the Lord. Then they go on explaining that unless one
has so much energy, one cannot move the mountain. Have they already forgotten
that there are moons and suns within every body? All is in the body. There is an
infinite potential and an infinite energy within. What's the mountain? The
universes can be moved with as little faith as a mustard seed.
They know not even of the power of the mind, never mind the power of love that's
superior to it (light speed or dimensional difference) but they are right when
they say unless one is deified. What follows afterwards is relative truth - a
half truth, not a complete truth. When they refer to "beast" in us, it refers to
our accumulated sins or karmas, which have to be burned in order for mind to
become pure and transparent because only such pure mind isn't an obstacle to
growth of soul (love) within. Yes, such awakening must go through the dark night
of the soul and it's a pretty accurate description. What they do not tell is
where "the beast" within us comes from. The beast is the mind. As long as we
follow mind and not the heart we are no better then beasts. Even beasts have
minds but they have no heart (love) - at least not that love that man is
supposed to have. We are responsible for all actions of our mind. All our
cravings and desires have a price. As long as we act independently we have to
pay the price and in our ignorance our own actions are all but divine. They are
beastly. It's only when we do not act independently but in concord with divine
will that we do not incur a personal debt. In other words, unless we are same as
Jesus was (one with the father) we will continue accumulating the sin; hence we
will also have to pay the price. This principle of detachment and living in
God's Will is very well explained in Bhagavad Gita and other Vedic literature.
It's the essence of mystic teachings. As long as we act with ego and mind we are
responsible but if we act with detachment (no desire) than we act in accord with
the will of god - then we act on soul level and we are not responsible - it's
God who is responsible for our actions in that case because we are only the
instruments of God, who act according to His Will. Hence it's not necessary for
a person to have a beast within himself. It's only an outcome of our past
actions. If there is a beast within him, it doesn't mean there is a beast within
a pure person. A beast is karmic debt that has to be paid. Devil must take his
own (mind) and God will take his own (soul). A dark night of the soul is nothing
but process of "losing" the mind. It's a divine blessing because after the mind
is lost, only the soul (love) remains.
Ok, that would be my answer but as I said this whole correspondence has no
scientific or the spiritual merit whatsoever. It's more of an aftereffect of the
popularity of Da Vinci Code. Here and there it touches on the truth but all in
all it's of no value whatsoever. It's all just a random speculation and at that
a bad one because the writers of those letters are not even educated in the
simple esoteric and spiritual truths. Every scholar of Veda, Buddhism or any
esoteric or mystic teaching knows not only those few simple truths but much more
than that. It's an imagination running wild with no foundations in truth except
here and there. I even doubt genuiness of those letters. There is no secret
society here but only one lost soul - perhaps an immature teenager. I do not
wish to be harsh since i am nobody to judge anybody but that's the truth.
Kind regards,
