The Realisation of the Testament of Truth

The fulfilment of the Testament of Truth in our epoch requires: a) gathering of the spiritual fruits from the outgoing Hindu-European cycle; b) spiritual awakening of the people; c) meeting the new coming of the Divine Masters; d) an entry into the new Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle, where the illuminated humankind will live in the Reality with a New Heaven and a New Earth! The Realization of the Testament of Truth in our time is crucially important for humankind in order to enter into the new cosmic cycle and to avoid self-destruction and collapse as the previous Atlantean civilization!

We can find a typological picture of the spiritual history of humankind moving from the Hindu-European cycle to the new Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle in many world religions, for instance, in Hinduism – the teaching about the Yugas, in the Old Testament – the visions of the prophet Isaiah and the prophet Ezekiel, in the New Testament – the Book of Revelation by St. John, and others. Actually, the vision of St. John in the Book of Revelation (Chapter 21) of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, which has twelve gates, is like a colossal metaphysical Zodiac-Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem, depicting the coming new reality:

"The Spirit took control of me, and the angel carried me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down out of heaven from God and shining with the glory of God. The city shone like a precious stone, like a jasper, clear as crystal.  It had a great, high wall with twelve gates and with twelve angels in charge of the gates.  On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the people of Israel.  There were three gates on each side: three on the east, three on the south, three on the north, and three on the west.  The city's wall was built on twelve foundation stones, on which were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." (Revelation 21: 10-14)

In essence, 'the twelve gates' are the spiritual paths traced by the world religions which lead through one or another 'entrance' to the wholeness of the Kingdom of God.  The 'twelve tribes of the people of Israel' are the archetype of the whole of humanity, while 'the twelve apostles of the Lamb' personify specific human qualities and virtues enabling entry into the Holy City through the various gates.

The Throne of God and of the Lamb, the four metaphysical directions (east, west, south, north) and the twelve gates, 'three on each side', depict a gigantic cosmic-spiritual Zodiac. In this metaphysical Zodiac God Himself is the cosmic-spiritual Sun which never sets; the four directions are the turning points of the spiritual 'seasons' and the 'twelve gates' are specific cosmic-spiritual fields of energy (like twelve spiritual zodiac signs).  The 'seasons' correspond to the great spiritual epochs in the history of humankind – for instance, the Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali Yugas, according to the Hindu tradition.  Each world religion comes in a particular cosmic-spiritual season (historical epoch) and reveals a complete picture of the Universe but in accordance with its 'season'.  Thus, the religions form one or another 'room in the Father's house' with a specific gate (i.e. spiritual path) of entry into the Kingdom of God.  The interpretation of the Holy City as a cosmic-spiritual Zodiac allows us to integrate all spiritual epochs in the Hindu-European cycle of evolution (from the previous Golden Age, the last Satya Yuga, to the coming new one) in a gigantic Zodiac-Mandala.  This is the contemplation of all human history on Earth in the panorama of the great meta-historical 'cosmic-spiritual year' in the life of humankind.

In other words, the vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem is a typological picture of the whole meta-historical cycle of humankind's life on Earth since the Fall – the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise – to their return back to the Father's house. It includes all historical epochs through which humankind has passed during the process of involution (from the Garden of Paradise to the material world) and evolution (from the dark 'material' consciousness evolving to cosmic-spiritual consciousness). In this picture all initiations in human history, such as those of Krishna, Hermes, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Lao Tze, Orpheus, Pythagoras, Plato, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Bodhidharma, the Master Beinsa Douno and many others can be inscribed.

Each one of the twelve gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem leads to the majestic Divine Temple of one or another world religion.  Each Temple embraces the whole vertical structure of creation with its three worlds – the earthly, the celestial and the Highest Divine World, reaching the Absolute Origin of Being.  The Divine Masters, founders of the religions, and the manifestations of the Divine Feminine connected with them, keep the gates of the Temples in the Heavenly Jerusalem always open in order for millions of followers to enter and to receive their initiation.

All the elements of the Zodiac-Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem, i.e., the centre, the circumference, the horizontal and vertical axes, the three circles (pink, blue and white), the day-night cycle, the four cosmic seasons, the gates of initiation, the Temples of initiation, etc. – have a deep mythological significance and symbolise the structure of Creation, the different phases in the involution and the evolution of the human being and the different historical epochs in human civilisation as well.

If we depict the whole Hindu-European cycle of human evolution, metaphorically, as a clock, now humankind is approaching the 12th hour of this historical epoch, the moment when the old cycle finishes and the new one begins.  For this purpose, the Divine Spirit opens the last Universal Gate in the Heavenly Jerusalem, the one which leads to the cosmic spiritual summer, the New Golden Age, the epoch of the Holy Spirit. Thus, the prophecy of St. John from the Book of Revelation that "all gates of the Holy City will be open day and night"will be fulfilled and humankind will live in the Reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth forever." (Revelation 21:25)

The opening of the last Universal Gate in the Heavenly Jerusalem is a great apocalyptic event which marks the new stage in the evolution of humankind as God's people on sacred Earth. The building of the New Temple of the Divine Spirit which appears on the Southern Universal Gate follows the archetypal model of all other Temples in the Heavenly Jerusalem in accordance with the three-fold structure of Creation. It unfolds on all three levels of the Universe as well – the earthly, the celestial and the Divine levels. It is in this Temple that all awakened souls from the four corners of the earth, receiving the New Initiation from the Living God, will realise the Testament of Truth.

The New Initiation, which comes from the Spirit of Truth, the Divine Spirit, is the fulfilment of the Testament of Truth in our epoch and has three main aspects which are very closely and organically interconnected – metaphysical, meta-historical and meta-cultural.  The metaphysical aspect is connected with the spiritual journey on the Path of the Divine Rainbow from the earthly world to the Highest Divine World; the meta-historical aspect is an experience of the New Pentecost and meeting the New Coming of the Divine Masters; the meta-cultural aspect is participation in the Divine Wedding in Heaven and Co-creation with God. In the next three articles I will discuss these three main aspects in greater detail.
