I am going to show you just how easy. It is so easy, so easy, you cannot imagine. And every day you will see God just like you sit there and drink coffee. There is not much effort to spend to earn the Kingdom of God, but there is so much effort that we have to spend in order to earn a little bread and water on this planet, and that is really a miserable fate for us.
Thank you very much for your attention. You have been absolutely attentive. I can see how eager you are to want to know God, and God knows that. That's why Hes sent me here.
*What is the fastest way of overcoming the period of the so-called dark night of the soul?
How to overcome the dark night of the soul? Continue. Continue your struggle. We can only overcome the dark night of the soul with the grace of God, so you have to intensify your effort to contact God. Only the light can dispel darkness and make us enlightened and happy.
* Do you need a physical spiritual leader for the initiation?
Yes and no. "Yes" because a physical instrument must be there to tell you what to pay attention to and how to avoid the illusion of the dark force and how to recognize God and so on and so forth. But "no" because God is the Master. God is the Holy Spirit which will transmit to us this initiation in absolute silence, so we don't need any physical instrument. The teacher or a guide is necessary because we have forgotten too many things on the way to Heaven, and we might get lost, so she or he is there to help us in the initial period of time until we can walk ourselves and become one with God.
But it is not the physical language or action of the teacher or the guide that will make us see God. It is God Hirmself, automatically, will reveal to us when we open ourselves to Hirm. The teacher or the good friend is there only to show us how to open up.
*Do you believe that there is another civilization living underneath the Earth?
There are beings who live everywhere, not just beneath the Earth but within the Earth, within the atmosphere, within the stratosphere. Everywhere, everywhere, every one, every being, every event, every world exists at the same time in the same world. Just that because we are born into this physical existence and we are blind and deaf and dumb to other dimensions, and that is meant to be so, so that we can carry on our material way of life.
Otherwise, there is no such thing as a different dimension even. There is no such thing as time - past, present, or future. It is a very great mystery of the universe, and we can know it only by going inside the spiritual world and discovering it for ourselves. But it is also nice to know the physical world, and then together with the celestial world we can know both worlds.
And at the moment, most people only know the physical world and don't know the celestial world. There are beings, there are existing worlds that are better than our world, and there are also existing planets that are worse than our planet in different aspects, like technology, spiritually and…etc.
*Do you believe in reincarnation?
Yes. It exists. You can see that with your meditation also. There are many children who were born and until up to five, four or sometimes eight, they still remember their last life and they still can remember where their house was - very far away from there - and they can still speak that language, and they still know the names of the parents and every item in the house of their past lives they still can point out even though they have never been there.
You read newspapers, there are many reports like that. But to explain on this subject, it's much, much vast, more vast and deeper; it takes a longer time. It's not just the incarnation, like from one body to the next or from one life to the next. There are so many things that are very subtle, very mysterious, and we will take time to know that if we meditate every day and God will teach us everything.
*Is the goal of the spiritual way the recognition of God as a person, or is it the acknowledgement of the divine substance of ourselves?
The acknowledgement of the divine substance of ourselves. *** Acknowledgement not by intellectual but the truly seeing with spiritual eye, truly knowing with the soul, truly knowing with our spiritual being, just like truly knowing about these flowers or this candy with the physical being; and knowing God just as clear as this, but only with the spiritual being, our spiritual being. God can also appear as a human form, as a person to us, in the initial stage, so that we can know Hirm, we can feel more close to Hirm, more identified with Hirm.
But the absolute God is formless. It's just a brilliant sea of light and love that you will not be able to explain in this limited language of our planet. And then, eventually, we will become one with this sea of love, and then we will not think that we are separate from God or “there is God, there is me”; they're just one. It is the most extraordinary experience that one could aim for. We cannot trade the treasure of the whole world for this experience. We must endeavor to sincerely practice and have this experience for ourselves.
*Could you tell us something, from the spiritual point of view, about the situation in Kosovo?
What can I say to the ignorance of mankind that drives them to kill one another in cold blood? What can I say to those who suffered tremendous hardship in the war, who lost their parents, who lost their children, who lost everything that they have worked the whole life for?
I can only pray that they will ease their sorrow somehow, that God will bless them inside so that they know that life is eternal, and God always loves them; doesn't matter if they are bad or good, and doesn't matter how much they lose in this world, Heaven is still theirs. I can only tell you that if we, the spiritual aspirants, try our best to raise our consciousness to a higher level of understanding, then the world will be a better place.
Only by knowing that we are God inside can we respect the God who sits in front of us or next to us. Only with God's love we can erase all the hatred and all the differences between brothers and sisters, and the war will stop. Since ancient times we have been warring with each other, we have been destroying the properties and nutrition of this planet, we have even destroyed the teaching of the spiritual masters, we even damage their bodies and their way of life.
And what has it brought us? We gain nothing out of this war or any war. I feel sorry for the one who caused the war as well as I feel sorry for the victims. But I feel even more sorry for the one who caused the war because they are so far from God, they are so desperate that they have to resort to violence. They feel so much lack of love within them that they have to break out as a cry in such a violent manner because they are so desperate.
They are so far, so deep in the illusion of life. For the one who does not know anymore right from wrong, we can only feel sorry. And we can pray to God to bless them with more wisdom, more love so that they will be awakened to a better way of life. We can help shorten the war or ease the conflict into a better stand, or stop, if we all put our energy together, our positive thinking together and we meditate daily for the betterment of this planet.
But the victims of the war, even though they suffer so much in this physical life, God will welcome them in the life after. So, I am here to try to remind you that you have the power within yourself to bless the world, to stop the war, to ease the suffering. It is up to you to make use of it. The more awakened people, the less trouble in this world.
Our world is getting better. More spiritual practitioners, more vegetarians, and in a few more hundred years to come, we will see almost Heaven on this planet, if we live that long.
*What shall I do in order to be able to live in the present?
Practice present concentration. Every time you think of the past or the future, bring your mind back to the minute in front of you. Try it until it becomes your nature.***
*What does it mean, "a spiritual way?"
Just like the worldly way, it's in the spiritual world. We walk in the spiritual world and we call that walk “the spiritual way.” Just like we walk the way in this world, there are ways in this world to do our duties, like we have to work, we have to earn money, we have to build a house, we have to take care of our children, our parents, our wife, our husband, etc.
These are the ways of the world. And the spiritual way is the way of the spiritual person, the one who lives in a more elevated, spiritual dimension in his own soul. Then he will have to do the way that the higher spirits in a higher world live their life. That's so we can be more close with the spiritual world, the celestial world, the higher world, and then we call that “the spiritual way.”
Just like, apart from walking the way of the world, earning the living, etc., we also include a spiritual way of living, like we extend our love to all the animals or beings, we don't eat even their flesh, we don't cause them to suffer indirectly or directly; we do not cause suffering to other beings, our neighbors by stealing their property or by cheating, telling lies, or by being dishonest to our spouse to cause the suffering in the family.
So, we live an honest life, a very transparent life, and we practice the communication with God daily, we practice the love for our neighbor. These are the so-called “spiritual way.” To be a complete human being, we should lead the spiritual way together with the worldly way; otherwise, we're only half being or only the physical being.
*The purpose of the human existence? Why are there wars, and why are there catastrophes? Why are there disasters?
The purpose of life is to know God. We are born here just so that we know we are God. Because if we are with God, we cannot recognize God. It has to be darkness so that we can see the light.
The other question is, “Why is there war, why is there disaster, why is there catastrophe?” etc., yes? Well, you see, we cause all these ourselves, I am sorry to say. We are all responsible for whatever happens to us. Because we are also a part of God and we have creative power. Whenever we think of something loving, kind and correct, then we create a better atmosphere and we experience a better environment.
Just like when we love one another or when we fall in love, doesn't that feel good? Even though you cannot prove what love is, you cannot touch it, but you know it's love and you just feel so good, so good. And everyone around us is also affected by this happiness. We can love everybody else when we're in love, we can kiss everybody else as well, because of the power of our love.
And when, contrary, when we hate someone, we create hatred; when we have jealousy, when we have a lower kind of attitude and quality, then we create a very negative atmosphere and that in turn also affects ourselves and affects someone around us. And when too much of this negative and hatred atmosphere is created, and they are drawn together by the law of "like attracts like," then it becomes more vast and more powerful, and that will influence even the weather, influence the people's heart and that will cause disaster, that will cause war.
Don't you notice that sometimes when you are in an angry mood and you respond very shortly, sharply, to other people, they also feel agitated, they also feel angry toward you? And then some time, finally, you both will fight each other because of this very burdened, very pressurizing atmosphere of hatred and anger.
So, when much of that is going on in the atmosphere, then it becomes real, it becomes materialized in some concrete disaster, like bad weather or war, epidemics, etc. And this atmosphere, of course, it will be attracted to wherever is already the most, the thickest, of this kind of quality. It will sample all of the scattering negative energy together where it's already the densest so-called clump of energy, of negative energy.
Then it will happen. Bad things will happen right there. So make sure that in our lives we give love more and more, and we think before we act, and we stop before we think anything negative. In this way, we also contribute to peace of the world. But as mentioned earlier, ignorance is the only thing to be blamed for all these bad things that happen to us. Ignorance, not knowing God, that's the only criminal in this world and any other world.
Because if we are enlightened, if we know God, we will be so happy, so blissful, that we could never do anything wrong- or very less likely to do things wrong because we are enlightened, we are wise, we know what's right, what's wrong. So the best thing anyone can offer us is enlightenment. The best thing I can offer you is enlightenment, more than gold, more than diamonds, more than anything that is so-called best in this world.
Because even if I give you money, if I give you a house, these things will also pass away, they will be, also, maybe destroyed by war, by fire or by accidents. But if I give you enlightenment, you will be able yourself to do everything that you need to do and to earn anything that you need to earn, to protect yourself, to take care of yourself forever.
Even if you lose your home, you lose your money, you will never lose your enlightenment, your wisdom. You can always start anew again. You can always find ways to survive better and better in this world. So that's the best gift that God can give to us.
*What role does humbleness play in your life?
We all should have this humility in us. The true humility comes when we recognize that everyone else is God. It's a true humbleness from inside the heart; it's not the outside performance. May God bless you in whichever way you walk your life.
When a person reaches enlightenment and meets a guide in a dream who shows him the heavenly Kingdom of the messengers and the angels, what can we do to see him again?
Who did she dream of? Is it her master or is it me?
You must practice more the meditation taught by your master and then you can see him again and again, not only in dreams, but also in the real internal vision, as well as externally, just like the way that I see you now, very real.
Could we call the guide to help us in resolving some important problems?
Yes, anytime, but it works more efficiently if we take the initiation with a master because we can have a direct line of contact.
How many masters are already incarnated?
Nowadays? I don't know, one, two, three, four at the most. Not many for us, right? How many masters do you want to have? One master is enough for you, for everyone.
What can you tell us about the return of Christ?
Christ is always within us. No need to wait for him to come from Heaven; he is always here inside of us. But if you want to see Christ in his form, it is also possible with initiation and the daily practice of meditation.
You can even see Christ during initiation. Some of our fellow disciples have seen Christ, Buddha, and other ancient masters. So can you.
Despite our present faults inside, isn't it too late for enlightenment and redemption?
No, it isn't your fault. If no one shows you the path, you will not know how to find spiritual life. Isn't it so? Now, if you do not find it, it is your fault; but before today, it wasn't.
*Can meditation decrease the need for sleep?
Yes, meditation decreases many of the negative aspects that we get from society and outside associations.
Do you think that enlightenment through meditation could protect us from illnesses?
In many cases and on many occasions. But we come for enlightenment because we want to find our inner greatness and our true life, not only to get good health, etc. Health belongs to the physical life. We can see doctors and take drugs. We must come for God and God only. It is better, more sincere, and we get better results.
Can we reach enlightenment by repeating "Namo Renge Kyo," of Japanese Buddhism, without receiving initiation from an enlightened being?
If, when you recite this, you see Light and hear heavenly Sound and Music, you can say that it works; if not, you need to be initiated.
Are the five precepts mandatory after initiation?
It is better for you and everyone else. For your conscience, the peace on Earth, for your wisdom and your nobility, etc., it is better to observe the five precepts.
What should we think about when we meditate?
Nothing. We already think too much all the time, so why think again during meditation? But there is a way to calm our thoughts and our minds that I will teach during initiation. We need time to sit down together and talk for a while. During the real initiation, we won't be talking, including me. And in this silence, you will find your original Nature.
Can we still take care of our families after we get enlightened?
But of course! What do you want to do with them, throw them away? My so-called disciples are all normal people. They have families, jobs, studies, whatever, some occupation. They still lead a normal life, but they know inside another level of consciousness, another invisible life, an inner paradise. We see it and hear the teachings from Heaven. We become more intelligent, wise, noble and compassionate.
Is it fair to receive sickness in exchange for all of the good we have done on Earth?
I think not. Goodness shouldn't be paid back with sickness. That is not the law of the universe. God is very merciful. Sickness comes from the fact that we misunderstand the laws of nature.
Who is your spiritual guide: Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, or someone else?
All of them and more from Heaven... and myself; I am also my own Master and you are as well, though you do not know it at this time.
Are your teachings compatible with Islam?
Yes, why not? Islam teaches people to be good guests on Earth and that it is necessary to find Heaven while we are alive. I also offer the same thing. I tell you to respect the five precepts, which give us nobility, wisdom, and peace on Earth. I also offer you the path by which to find God immediately. Thank you. Therefore, our path is compatible with all of the good religions.
Can you give enlightenment to everyone? Are you capable of altering someone's profound nature?
Everyone has the right to be enlightened, but it is your choice to want it or not. After having found our true, enlightened Nature, our greatness and our wisdom, we will change ourselves.
I do not change people. It is they who change because their true Nature is exceptional; it is noble and wise. He who finds his true Nature will rid himself of all negative habits.
What should one do to help someone who is possessed?
That is not difficult. You should tell him that God is in all of us, that Buddha is in all of us. We need to believe in our greatness, in our internal wisdom, and not in the negative forces which are only illusions. It is necessary to have a strong faith, and afterward everything will be better.
How should we get rid of constant thoughts that bother us during our meditation?
With practice and with time we forget all of our negative habits. We need to take the time to practice our meditation. If that does not work, you can try our method.
If I need to kill a person in order to save a thousand other people, have I committed a sin?
Yes, even then. But when we do something from which many people can benefit, then it's a pleasure to make the sacrifice. But it is better to be enlightened and afterward you will know whether it is necessary to kill or not, because maybe that is part of the universal plan. It is necessary to know what it is that one is doing.
Does hell exist?
Yes, it exists, but mainly for people who are very disturbed in their minds. People who are virtuous and good never experience hell. For those who are initiated, never.
Is there benefit in eliminating negative tendencies through hypnosis?
There are cases where that works for a bit of time, but it isn't enough to eliminate all the negative energy, because we've collected negative energy for a long time in our past, from many lifetimes in our past.
Enlightenment is necessary because the Light inside is very strong, very brilliant, sometimes like a thousand suns, and it can enlighten our past, present, and future lives. That is how we truly become purified.
Does meditation imply the practice of prayer or does it simply to mental concentration?
We can do everything in the beginning, but afterward we don't need anything. We will immediately connect with God and communicate directly with God and with paradise. We do not need to pray because we are already in paradise.
You speak of virtue. What is virtue for you?
True virtue includes all the goodness that we know in our lives, and the highest qualities of Heaven. If we possess this true virtue, we are not even consciously aware that we possess virtue. Yet, at the same time, we shine out this internal virtue to everyone around us, and everyone around us knows it but we do not. It is just like the sun that shines on all beings, but it does not know that it, itself, is great. That is the true virtue. Thank you.
What do you think of the practice of yoga and all similar disciplines? Can we achieve a certain state of enlightenment through the practice of yoga?
That depends on the yoga you choose. If that yoga practice helps you obtain internal enlightenment and see a great and intense Light inside, that is a good yoga. If not, you need to keep searching for another yoga.
When we hear a voice speak to us inside, is that our spiritual guide who is speaking to us and giving us guidance?
That is not always the case. It depends on your guide and what he is telling you. If you have a true, reliable guide who can be here and at the same time in Heaven, sometimes this guide talks to you. You need to know a method by which to verify if that is the true path or a negative path. That is why the initiation with an experienced guide is necessary in this regard.
Are we reborn after death? And if that is true, how?
Well, I don't know yet. I am not dead. After death, we have many choices. We might reincarnate like other human beings and continue to study until we have come to the awareness of our internal Heaven. If we are enlightened when we are alive, then we will go straight to Heaven and will stay there forever in eternal bliss.
If we have ignored the laws of nature in this life, acted against them, do not know God and do things which are against the laws of the universe, we will temporarily stay in the so-called "help." We will suffer there for a while, according to what we did on Earth.
What is humankind's purpose on Earth?
It's because God wanted to bless the Earth through us. We came down to be a link between Heaven and Earth, but because we have been exhausted and tired for so long, we have forgotten our great mission. This is why a master comes once in a while to remind us of our true Nature, this is why we are here.
How can you be Catholic and Buddhist at the same time when God demanded that we only listen to Jesus and to his church?
Buddha is also a son of God. Jesus and other masters came down because God has many children and there are numerous children on Earth that need God's help. So, from time to time, he sends one or two of Hiers children for us; Buddha was one of them. We should not discriminate between masters. If we do, we make wars and there have been already so many religious wars. Enough is enough. We live and let live. We believe in God and let others believe in their own.
I have been a vegetarian for a year, but I don't have time to meditate because of my studies. What should I do?
There is plenty of time, but you do not know it. You can meditate on the bus, on the train, on the airplane, in a park, at work during a break; ten minutes here, twenty there, fifteen minutes now, fifteen later. Get up earlier in the morning and go to bed a little later. Do not watch too much TV or read too many magazines and newspapers.
About hell, do you really think that it is only for people with mental illnesses? I am quite surprised to hear this.
Hell is a great hospital to help people whose spirits and minds are sick. It is similar to our hospitals on Earth where illnesses are cured.
How do you define karma (retribution)?
There are two kinds of karma (retribution), one bad and one good, but both tie you to the Earth. After initiation, the karma (retribution) from past lives will be erased, but the master does not touch the karma (retribution) for this life. Otherwise, you would die immediately.
We must stay here for a while to bless the world and to help our friends. Afterwards we can go to Heaven and never return, if this is our wish. Karma is an invisible force, very just and strong, and what we have created will come back to us. This is the karma, the law of cause and effect.
Can you speak about suicide?
It's very serious; it's not very good. Someone who commits suicide will stay in a miserable world full of suffering for a long time until he has had enough and he prays to Heaven for liberation. Then he will be given another life, another chance. That's why one must not commit suicide; it's very serious.
We have to wait for another day because we never know what tomorrow will bring. One should always wait; sometimes there are good surprises, right?
Does God exist outside of man?
Yes, God exists inside and outside of us. God is everywhere. We cannot say that God is outside or up there. God is everywhere. This is why we should not do bad things, because God is everywhere and knows everything.
You speak of God, but I thought that God does not exist in Buddhism?
We still believe in God. If not, where would Buddha have come from? Buddha didn't speak about God because people's conceptions of God at that time weren't very accurate.
The Hindus would sometimes put a stone on a table anywhere, bow to it, and worship with all their hearts and call it "God." Naturally, Buddha told them, "Such a God doesn't exist!" It was a different time and people's mind-set was different, so masters had to use different methods to break the superstitions that ignorant people believed in.
But sometimes the Buddha spoke ofGod, he said something like this: "I do not say that God exists or does not exist. I say that there is one thing from which everything comes and to which everything returns." What is this thing? It is God, no? Yes or no? It is the same thing! Well, there you go.
Jesus said somewhere in the Bible that there will be a time of false prophets and that you have to be vigilant. What do you think about it?
Yes, a false master is one who teaches us bad things that go against the teachings of the Bible, of Buddhism, of Islam, etc. Someone who entices us to steal or who lets us do everything we like, who doesn't ask us to be virtuous and peaceful. But a master who reminds us of our inner virtues, who praises the glory of Heaven and God and, at the same time, brings us back Home is a true living master.
You must verify with your intellect, your virtues, and your wisdom. It is not good just to repeat everything or criticize someone who is good for you.
Do you think that diseases like AIDS can be cured by enlightenment?
I cannot guarantee it. When I was searching for God, I didn't make any material demands, so I do not know if it works or not. I encourage everyone to only seek the Kingdom of God and everything will be fine. We should not come for enlightenment just to cure our physical body, because this is very material and not very noble. Forgive me for being so honest with you, but I must.
How can we communicate with our inner Master?
Through initiation and the daily practice of meditation.
I've just started to meditate. I hear the inner sound and see a point of light, but I do not feel a sense of eternity or love. Could you tell me what I should do?
It is because you have not reached a very high level. Keep practicing and soon you will know more. If you reach the First Level, you will know the magical powers and will see inner sceneries that are from a lower paradise. If you reach at least the Second Level, at that time, you will feel more strongly the eternal life. We have to go at least to the second level. So keep practicing.
Maybe your master doesn't have enough power. You can look for another if you are not satisfied with him; or you could continue if you trust your master. Because I don't know which meditation you're practicing; you should write more precisely. Write it again.
My body always wavers when I am meditating. I also feel a vibrating current. Could you please explain this phenomenon?
It's the same. You will confuse the audience because you didn't mention which meditation method you are practicing. If you have a master, you may consult him. It is very simple and more convenient.
Nonetheless, I am happy to give you a little advice. Do not direct your attention to your bodily feelings before, during, or after the meditation. Concentrate only on the method instructed by your master. It's that simple.
Since I am a student in medical school, I have to perform anatomy on animals occasionally. May I also get initiation?
You are getting me into trouble. If I say yes, there would be a problem because it is against the precepts. If I say no, I would feel sorry for you. How about I simply close my eyes and allow you to fill in the initiation enrollment form? If I close my eyes, I can't see and I can't hear.
This is not really your fault. You don't want to be violent but because it's your profession. Before the initiation, you didn't know this. It will be better later when you are graduated from school. It's okay.
Of course, you would incur some bad karma (retribution), and if you suffer from some illnesses now and then, you will know why.
I really enjoyed meeting you all. Good night. Thank you.
