Apostle Matthew

We are in the forest of remarkably tall and slender spruces, birches, and aspens. Everywhere around hazel hens are singing joyfully. They want to talk to us, regarding us as their guests!

We enjoy the forest sattva!

In summer here, in the contrast to other places in the forest around, one can gather many chanterelles. But now it is winter, December. Nevertheless, without much effort we gathered many mushrooms. At this time of year, it is not chanterelles but oyster mushrooms that grow here. Oyster mushrooms usually grow on the alder tree. But there are no alder trees here, so they have grown on birches…

… However, we have come here not to the hazel hens and not for gathering mushrooms. Here the Divine Teachers — Apostles John and Mark — are waiting for us. And for the first time, Apostle Matthew is also present. We even did not know that He, too, lives in the Abode of the Father! All They, together with Divine Finn, Ushastick, and Dobrynia closely stay here around one of the favorite places of Jesus Christ — His place of Samadhi.

Jesus here, as well as on His other places of power known to us, is always present and available for conversation. The unique feature of this particular place of His is that here He helps one to activate not only the spiritual heart, but also the front meridian. This meridian plays a very important role in the functioning of the emotional sphere and allows one to experience fully the Divine Bliss.* Here Jesus also helps worthy disciples to substitute all energies in their bodies with His Bliss…

Jesus speaks about the Bliss which can be cognized on this place thus:

“Such am I. Such is Everyone of Us — Those Who entered the Creator completely and became His Integral Parts!

“Bring here, to Me, everyone whom I entrust to you!”

… Then Jesus switched our attention to His Disciple — apostle Matthew.

“… How did You attain the Father, Matthew?”

“It happened not in the incarnation which is known to you.

“After this I was embodied in England and sailed the seas. I loved the Ocean of the Creator, embraced It with Myself; as a consciousness I submerged into It together with the head — and became It!

“Jesus helped Me. He led Me into Himself. Since the moment when He accepted Me as His disciples, He has always been with Me.”

“What do You do now?”

“I give silence, wipe tears of those who want to cognize Me, but are not capable of doing this yet… I submerge those who are mature into Me, caress them in Me… And I help to remember about Me those walking the Path to Me…

“… In the past, for a long time I had been seeking promising souls on the seas around the British Isles, but it was in vain. I carried the youth on My Hands, thought of them as of the sea cadets of Jesus Christ. I called them so and gave them to understand that this name is bestowed upon them. And some of them did understand this… But having grown up, they became completely absorbed in the material plane. And that — remained in their minds just as a childish game!…

“This is why now I am with you.”

“What would You advise us, Matthew?”

“The spiritual situation on the Earth is very lamentable! People do not know and do not want to know what God is and where to seek Him… This must be changed!…”

“Was Your Gospel distorted?”

“No, it was not. Only some words can be translated better.”

“Could You tell about Your incarnation at the time when Jesus Christ was on the Earth?”

“I prefer that you perceive Me as the One sailing the seas, loving the earthy oceans and the unearthy Ocean! I like this image more!”

“When were You embodied in England?”

“In the twelfth and seventeenth centuries…”

“Were You embodied two times?”

“No, only once.”

“?”

“This is a joke! I had a wife. As the captain of the ship, I could take her with Me on journeys.

“Later, she, too, attained Me in the Abode of the Creator!

“In the next incarnation in the seventeenth century, she was a hefty man. He also sailed. And He did everything as I told her: repeated Me, repeated My Path completely.

“When she was My wife, her name was Clara. And the next time…”

… He came to us to show that appearance of His: a broad-shouldered man with a beautiful muscular body, a face radiating joy, and very gentle charm…

“You were acquainted with Him, although did not have conversations. It was to the northwest of this place several years ago…

“He began as a sea cadet. He was the only sea cadet of Jesus Christ who dedicated Himself to Me completely — and cognized Me!

“… I want to say also a few words about how to distinguish between true and false religious views of people.

“I mean that teaching people to pray by panhandling something from God is very harmful, because it encourages growth of one’s egocentrism.

“The true religiosity has to be manifested as a constant work on changing oneself in accordance with what God expects from incarnate people. It also implies service to God, rather than service to oneself. And one has to serve God, first of all, by spreading true knowledge about Him and about the Path to Him.”
