Divine energy of abundance. The doctrine of uncreated divine energies

The Energy of Abundance is Divine Energy, the “children” of which are:

  • Health. This is wealth, isn't it? Health is a manifestation of a self-sufficient and perfect personality. Health is a set of Energies capable of creating Good. If you are not healthy, it means that your powers are blocked, because you are violating the laws of the Harmony of Existence (or you violated them in past lives, if your illnesses have been going on since birth);
  • Abundance of nature (fruits, etc.), everything that grows and appears again. The Energy of Abundance manifests itself in infinity if Her laws and the order of Her incarnation are respected. The Energy of Abundance always multiplies and gives Good to everyone - this is the Good of Service. For example, an apple tree gives fruit and at the same time it has the potential of Renaissance - seeds. Anything that does not multiply itself is created for the short-term gratification of the ego;
  • Profession, Purpose. This is the way through which you manifest the Energy of Prosperity for yourself, all Humanity and the Planet.
  • Money and analogues of money. We will talk about the Energy of Money a little later in one of Our subsequent messages;
  • world of things. These are materialized fantasies that were created by the Energy of Imagination, design and creative Incarnation. The world of things is how you see your World, how you feel and realize It;
  • Housing. Your home, dwellings e is the Mirror of your Self-Love. The extent to which you accept and love yourself, the extent to which your home reflects this State. Order and prosperity in the house, beauty, grace, comfort, care, energy - this is your External, Protective Body!
  • Relationships with other people- Friends and Family - this is also an aspect of the Energy of Abundance. Psychological and material aid, support, exchange of Energy, Experience, Knowledge - all this constitutes Human Wealth. The more Friends and Relatives, the more qualities of the Spirit a Man develops in himself, the more manifested He is, the more His inner world more voluminous and varied.

The energy of Abundance consists of two aspects that are polar to each other. For example, the Energy of Love consists of Yin and Yang (Femininity-Masculinity). The energy of Abundance consists of passivity (Image of the desired) and activity (materialization of the Desired).

The Energy of Abundance is a multidimensional Energy of Neutral Character. In the hands of a Man, depending on His Choice, She can be:

  • passive, when this Energy is not loved, denied, considered sinful, unclean, dirty (analogy with sex and attitude towards it). This is one of the extremes - ignoring the Energy of Abundance. Then She simply will not be in the biofield of this Person. She cannot function without Love, Pure Love and Co-Creation with Man...
  • active- this is the other extreme of Man’s attitude towards the Goddess of Abundance... This means the following - She is worshiped as an Idol, Man becomes a fanatic of money and things... And connects to the Egregor of Materiality, feeding the astral with its energy.

The Truth, Beloved Friends, is in the middle... In the Balance of Passivity - Spiritual Thought and Activity - Material Manifestation.

You can balance this Energy (active and passive) in yourself, not devoting ALL your time, attention and thoughts to It, but also by Loving This Energy with all your Heart. And then the Energy of Abundance becomes a Friend and Helper, an Infinite and diverse Source of Wealth.

After the balance of active-passive and Intention, the Energy of Abundance enters the human biofield, attracting the “children” he needs into His Life. This Energy, like the Genie from a fairy tale, will fulfill EVERYTHING that a Person intends with Love and Awareness together with the Higher Self. The main thing is to Accept This Energy: the percentage of Energy accepted into oneself, accepted with Love, will attract the Materialization of Abundance into real Life.

The Energy of Abundance works closely with the Energy of Concentration - another attribute of the Green Ray. It is very important. Concentration on Love in the Heart, Intention and Knowledge that everything will happen in all its appropriateness attracts Energy into a Person, increasing the percentage of the Glow of the biofield with the Green Radiance of Abundance. God - atm (spirituality, State) attracts Wealth (materialization of Love).

4 universal steps to Attract the Energy of Abundance into your biofield:

  1. Accept this Energy as a Gift with Love, breathe into yourself this Emerald Green Energy;
  2. Observe Her in yourself;
  3. Realize the Intention (Your Plan) and concentrate on it;
  4. Action in a synchronistic moment.

In order to attract the Energy of Abundance, you need to set a Goal - why do you need this Energy? For personal enrichment? Then Energy will not see you in these low egoistic vibrations, or money will come into your life, but there will be problems in other areas of Being (in health, in relationships with loved ones, etc.). Because the Energy of Abundance needs Freedom, and not its imprisonment in the egoic prison of desires.

So, into the Epoch New Era The energy of abundance attracts:

  • Love of Life, acceptance of Being and awareness of the value of one’s Incarnation;
  • The Energy of Abundance is magnetically attracted to people who lead a Healthy Lifestyle, because the increase in Health, Beauty and Longevity is one of the Faces of this Energy. Look after your Health - a manifestation of your Wealth!
  • Love for Nature, Planet, Humanity;
  • Energy of Faith;
  • Unlocking the Energy of Creativity. Desire to Serve for Good. Using all your abilities in Life;
  • Balance of Masculinity-Femininity in oneself. Acceptance of all Men and Women. Harmony of the Energy of Love, Opening of the Heart for all Existence;
  • Constant expansion of Worldview;
  • Positive attitude, State of Happiness and Joy;
  • Constantly receiving pleasure from everything you do for the Good;
  • Mantras, affirmations, intentions. Voicing your desires out loud, adding “if it’s appropriate for me”;
  • Clear karma related to the Energy of Abundance. Pay off your debts, stop judging your debtors, improve relationships with them. Help your loved ones financially if you have such an opportunity: give what you have, not the last! Become a member charity event(if you can’t do this now, then take part in activities related to the environment - cleaning water, forests, etc.);
  • Clear your Mental Body of the beliefs that “money is dirty, evil,” etc. or “money can do everything, happiness is in money,” etc. Do not humiliate or elevate the Energy of Abundance. It is a neutral but Intelligent Energy that cooperates with your desires and value system;
  • Cleanse your Emotional Body of envy towards wealthy people, from negativity and aggression directed towards those who have achieved success. Be sincerely happy for your neighbor who managed to successfully cooperate with the Energy of Abundance;
  • Learn to Give Thanks to the Energy of Abundance daily. It manifests itself in everyone, every day. And it is reflected in many ways: in the smile of a passerby, in the synchronistic Knowledge received, Inspiration for something New, on a trip with Friends, in communication with Nature, etc. The energy of Abundance is magnetically attracted to grateful, positive people.

ST. GREGORY PALAMA
AND HIS TEACHING ABOUT UNCREATED DIVINE ENERGIES.

"...Having abandoned earthly and carnal concerns, let us stand on the Holy Land: each creating our own personal Holy Land, achieving this through virtue and attraction to God, so that we may have boldness when God comes in the light and, having flowed to Him, shine and abide forever with By Him, illuminated to the glory of the Trisolar and unique Radiance, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen" (St. Gregory Palamas. From the Word on the Transfiguration of the Lord).


Saint Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica, was born in 1296 in Asia Minor. During the Turkish invasion, the family fled to Constantinople and found shelter at the court of Andronikos II Palaiologos (1282 - 1328). The father of Saint Gregory became a major dignitary under the emperor, but soon died, and Andronikos Palaiologos himself, a famous philanthropist, took part in the upbringing and education of the orphaned boy. Palamas received an excellent secular education in Byzantium, which at that time was a true center of education. Possessing excellent abilities and great diligence, Gregory easily mastered all the subjects that made up full course medieval higher education. Although the future saint lived at the court of the basileus, he loved to have long conversations with the learned Athonite monks who came to the capital from time to time. His theology teacher was Metropolitan Theoliptus of Philadelphia, who awakened in the young man’s soul an interest in hesychia. The emperor wanted his pupil to devote himself to state activities, but Gregory, having barely reached the age of 20, retired to Holy Mount Athos in 1316 (according to other sources, in 1318) and entered the Vatopedi monastery as a novice, where, under the guidance of an elder, the Venerable Nicodemus of Vatopedi, took monastic vows and began the path of asceticism. A year later, the holy evangelist John the Theologian appeared to him in a vision and promised his spiritual protection. Gregory's mother, along with his sisters, also became a monk.
After the repose of Elder Nicodemus, the monk Gregory went through his feat of prayer for 8 years under the guidance of Elder Nicephorus, and after the death of the latter he moved to the Lavra of St. Athanasius. Here he served at meals and then became a church singer. But three years later (1321), striving for higher levels of spiritual perfection, he settled in the small hermitage of Glossia. The abbot of this monastery began to teach the young man concentrated spiritual prayer - mental work, which was gradually developed and assimilated by the monks, starting with the great hermits of the 4th century, Evagrius of Pontus and St. Macarius of Egypt. After the external prayer techniques of mental work received detailed coverage in the works of Simeon the New Theologian in the 11th century, it was adopted by the Athonite ascetics. The experimental use of mental doing, requiring solitude and silence, was called hesychasm (from the Greek “peace, silence”), and those who practiced it themselves began to be called hesychasts. During his stay in Glossia, the future saint was completely imbued with the spirit of hesychasm and accepted it for himself as the basis of life. In 1326, due to the threat of an attack by the Turks, he and his brethren moved to Thessaloniki, where he was ordained a priest.
Saint Gregory combined his duties as a presbyter with the life of a hermit: he spent five days of the week in silence and prayer, and only on Saturday and Sunday did the shepherd go out to the people - perform divine services and deliver sermons. His teachings often brought tenderness and tears to those present in the church. However, complete detachment from public life was unusual for the saint. Sometimes he attended theological meetings of the city's educated youth, led by the future Patriarch Isidore. Returning one day from Constantinople, he discovered a place near Thessaloniki called Veria (Verria), convenient for a solitary life. Soon he gathered a small community of hermit monks here and led it for 5 years. In 1331, the saint retired to Athos and retired to the monastery of St. Sava, near the Lavra of St. Athanasius. At this time, his literary activity began, aimed at clarifying his ascetic worldview. In 1333 he was appointed abbot of the Esphigmen monastery in the northern part of the Holy Mountain. In 1336, the saint returned to the monastery of St. Sava, where he began theological works, which he did not abandon until the end of his life.
Meanwhile, in the 30s of the 14th century, events were brewing in the life of the Eastern Church that placed Saint Gregory among the most significant ecumenical apologists of Orthodoxy and brought him fame as a teacher of hesychasm.
Around 1330, the learned Uniate monk Varlaam arrived in Constantinople from Calabria, and was appointed abbot of the Constantinople Monastery of the Savior. The author of treatises on logic and astronomy, a skillful and witty speaker, he received a chair at the capital's university and began to interpret the works of Dionysius the Areopagite, whose apophatic theology was recognized equally by the Eastern and Western Churches. Varlaam quickly acquired connections in the highest circles of the empire and even enjoyed the patronage of Emperor Andronicus the Younger and the sympathy of Patriarch John Kalek (1334-1347). On the one hand, he was contemptuous of Byzantine scholarship, on the other, he belonged to the party of moderate Uniates, who, for political reasons, made significant concessions to the Orthodox in matters of the primacy of the pope, the filioque, etc. As a result, in the field of religious and philosophical views, Varlaam was defeated in the debate with the Byzantine scientist Nikephoros Grigor, and in solving the union problem - from St. Gregory Palamas. These events served as a reason for the Calabrian monk to accuse the Athonite hesychasts of various heresies. Varlaam went to Athos, became acquainted there with the way of spiritual life of the hesychasts and, on the basis of the dogma of the incomprehensibility of the being of God, declared mental activity a heretical delusion. Traveling from Athos to Thessaloniki, from there to Constantinople and then again to Thessaloniki, Varlaam entered into disputes with the monks and tried to prove the creatureliness of the Tabor light; At the same time, he did not hesitate to ridicule the monks’ stories about prayer techniques and spiritual insights. The accusations were at first oral, but then were stated in writing by Varlaam.
Saint Gregory, at the request of the Athonite monks, first addressed the heresiarch with verbal admonitions. But, seeing the futility of such attempts, he set out his theological arguments in writing. This is how the “Triads in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts” appeared (1338). By 1340, the Athonite ascetics, with the participation of the saint, drew up a general response to Varlaam’s attacks - the so-called “Svyatogorsk Tomos”. Not satisfied with the outcome of the case, Varlaam demanded an open church trial.
At the Council of Constantinople in 1341, in the Church of Hagia Sophia, a dispute between St. Gregory Palamas and Barlaam took place, centered on the nature of the Tabor light. On May 27, 1341, the Council adopted the provisions of St. Gregory Palamas, set out in his apology on the uncreated energies of God. St. Gregory argued that God Himself reveals Himself to the world and man in His energies; these energies are accessible to human perception, like the Tabor light, but at the same time they are not sensual and created; these energies are God Himself addressed to His creation.
Varlaam repented of his errors regarding hesychia. Subsequent events showed that this repentance was not sincere. He soon left Byzantium and went to Italy, where he died as a bishop in 1348. Varlaam's teaching was condemned as heresy, and Varlaam himself was anathematized.
But the disputes between the Palamites and the Barlaamites were far from over. The second group included Varlaam’s disciple, the Bulgarian monk Akindinus and Patriarch John XIV Kaleka (1341 - 1347); Andronikos III Palaiologos (1328 - 1341) also leaned towards them. Akindinus came out with a number of treatises in which he declared St. Gregory and the Athonite monks to be the perpetrators of church unrest. The saint wrote a detailed refutation of Akindinus's speculations. Then the Patriarch excommunicated the saint from the Church (1344) and subjected him to prison, which lasted three years. In 1347, when John XIV was replaced on the patriarchal throne by Isidore (1347 - 1349), Saint Gregory Palamas was released and elevated to the rank of Archbishop of Thessalonica. In 1351, the Council of Blachernae solemnly attested to the Orthodoxy of his teachings and formulated the main provisions of Palamism.
Here are (abbreviated) the anathematisms of this council translated by A.F. Losev.
"1. [The Light of Tabor is neither the essence of God nor creation, but the energy of essence.] Those who are wise and say that the Light that shone from the Lord during His divine transfiguration is that dream, a creature and a ghost that appeared on a short time and soon disappeared, then the divine essence itself, ... and not professing ... that this divine Light is neither creation nor the essence of God, but uncreated, natural grace, radiance and energy, inseparably and eternally originating from the very divine essence, - anathema, anathema, anathema.
2. [The energy of the essence is inseparable from the essence and is not merged with it.] Even the same people who think and say that God has no natural energy, but who think that only essence exists and that the divine essence and divine energy are absolutely one and the same and indifferent, and no difference in one or the other is thought between them regarding [these heretics] as unreasonably destroying in all respects the very divine essence and leading it to non-existence (for the teachers of the Church literally say that only non-existence is devoid of energy) ... - anathema, anathema, anathema.
3. [The energy of essence is uncreated.] Also those who are the same wise and say that every natural force and energy of the Trinitarian Deity is created, and on the basis of this force us to glorify the divine essence itself as created (for, according to the saints, created energy must reveal nature as created, and uncreated energy must outline and essence as uncreated), and from here they are in danger of falling into complete atheism, and imposing Hellenic mythology and service to creatures on the pure and immaculate Christian faith, and not professing, according to the inspired theology of the saints and the pious wisdom of the Church, that all natural power and energy of the Trinitarian Deity uncreated - anathema, anathema, anathema.
4. [The energy of the essence does not introduce division into the essence itself and does not violate its simplicity.] Even the same people who philosophize and say that from this comes addition in God,<…>those who talk idle talk and do not confess, according to the inspired theology of the saints and pious wisdom, that with this divine difference the divine simplicity is quite decently preserved - anathema, anathema, anathema.
Opponents of Palamism more than once accused Saint Gregory of “ditheism” and even “polytheism” (since the Divinity has many energies). According to the thought of St. Gregory Palamas, the doctrine of the difference in God between the essence and His uncreated energies does not in any way violate divine simplicity, for the whole of God is inseparably present in each of His energies. These energies are not something in itself, existing separately and outside of God - it is God Himself in His address to creation.
5. [The name "Divinity" refers not only to the essence of God, but also to energies.] Even those who think and say that the name of the Divine is spoken only of the divine essence, and who do not confess, according to the inspired theology of the saints and the pious wisdom of the Church, that it is imposed no less on the divine energy... - anathema, anathema, anathema.
6. [The creature cannot participate in the essence of God, but it can participate in energy.] Even those who think and say that the divine essence is participatory, as well as those who are no longer ashamed to reintroduce into our Church the wickedness of the Messalians, who were sick with the same opinion, and who do not confess, according to the inspired theology of the saints and the pious wisdom of the Church, that it is completely incomprehensible, participatory But divine grace and energy are anathema, anathema, anathema."
But the Solunians did not immediately accept Saint Gregory; he was forced to live in different places. On one of his trips to Constantinople, a Byzantine galley fell into the hands of the Turks. Saint Gregory was sold during the year various cities as a prisoner, but even then he tirelessly continued preaching the Christian faith.
Only three years before his death he returned to Thessaloniki. On the eve of his repose, Saint John Chrysostom appeared to him in a vision. With the words "To the mountain! To the mountain!" Saint Gregory Palamas reposed peacefully before God on November 14, 1359. In 1368, he was canonized at the Council of Constantinople under Patriarch Philotheus (1354 - 1355, 1362 - 1376), who wrote the life and service of the saint.
Already in the 20th century, a kind of “Palamite renaissance” blossomed in theological and historical research. Many scientific monographs are beginning to be devoted to the life and works of St. Gregory Palamas. Such famous Russian theologians of the emigrant school as Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern), Protopresbyter John Meyendorff, Archbishop Vasily (Krivoshein), having re-examined all the manuscripts of St. Gregory that have reached us and the testimonies about him, returned to the saint the glory of the greatest of the Fathers of the Church, a brilliant theologian and teacher , which remains exceptionally modern to this day.
An attempt to reconstruct the teaching of St. Gregory Palamas on the divine essence and energies in our time is set out in a small monograph by Archpriest Vladimir Savelyev “Theological understanding of the teachings of St. Gregory Palamas on the essence and energies in the works of Russian religious thinkers of the 20th century.”
The teaching of St. Gregory Palamas about uncreated Divine energies significantly distinguishes Orthodox mysticism from Western.
The Calabrian monk Varlaam, who studied in Italy, and Akindinus, a translator into Greek "Summa theologiae", were under strong influence The teachings of Thomas Aquinas proceeded from a philosophical concept of existence alien to the spirit of Eastern theology. According to it, the concept of God is identified with the concept of perfect and absolutized being. In such a concept, all basic logical laws are transferred to the realm of ontology, extending their action to God, since He is being. For this reason, representatives of Western scholasticism tend to think that any objective “difference” in God (for example, the “difference” of essence and energy) “is incompatible with the thought of the absolute perfection of God, since every “part”, as less than the whole, is inevitable (in force of the laws of logic) is less perfect than this whole and thereby violates by its existence the absolute perfection of the Divine."
“Consequently,” notes V.N. Lossky, “for the opponents of St. Gregory Palamas there is a divine essence, there are its created consequences, but there are no divine actions, no energies.” Unlike his opponents, Saint Gregory Palamas stood on the basis of apophatic theology, which is more characteristic of Eastern Orthodoxy, continuing the theological tradition of Saint Gregory of Nyssa, Dionysius the Areopagite, and Saint Maximus the Confessor. Its most important position is the idea of ​​the complete incomprehensibility of God for reason and His inexpressibility in words. “Apophatic theology is characterized by a special disposition of the mind that refuses to formulate concepts about God; with such an attitude, any abstract and purely rationalistic theology that wants to adapt the secrets of divine wisdom to human thinking is decisively excluded.” Strictly speaking, the application of such concepts as being, essence, nature, etc. can be applied to God with a certain degree of convention, for He, as the Creator of being, is incommensurably higher than it. For this reason, all the properties of being that we perceive in the created world cannot be automatically transferred to the divine essence and considered as properties of the Divine. The highest divine being is inexpressible in the categories of earthly existence, and in a number of cases it is impossible to do without antinomic definitions in the field of theology.
The teaching of Saint Gregory Palamas cannot in any way be attributed to some innovation unknown to the Tradition of the Church. On the contrary, it is common to all Eastern theology. Thus, in his polemics with the Eunomians, Saint Basil the Great quite clearly pointed out the inability of any rational created being to comprehend the divine essence. This gave the heretics a reason to accuse the great Cappadocian of refusing to consciously cognize the Divine, since, in their opinion, true knowledge of God is knowledge in essence. Everything in God is essence, the Eunomians asserted. Basil the Great, disputing this statement, argued for the need, at least in the epistemological aspect, to allow a distinction between “the essence of God and his properties and manifestations.”
The genuine mystical experience of the unity of man with God existing in the Church posed a complex dogmatic problem for Christian thinkers: how can an absolutely transcendent and completely unknowable God really communicate with man, and therefore be immanent in his creation? According to the testimony of the holy fathers, God, by His essence, is not involved in the created world. And if we assume that at some certain moment we would unite with the very nature of God, then at that very moment we would become God by nature. In this case, instead of the Trinitarian God, we would have a “thousand-hypostatic” Deity. There would be as many divine hypostases as there would be persons involved in the divine essence. That is, we would lose all distinction between the Creator and the creature, in other words, we would reach pure pantheism. It is also completely impossible to unite with God by hypostasis. The union according to hypostasis took place only once in the Person of the God-Man, who united in Himself the divine and human natures. So, become a communicant "Divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4) It is possible only by energy or by grace. It is precisely this course of theological reasoning that allows us not to reject the dogmatic antinomy about the absolute transcendence of God and the real possibility of unity with Him. According to the remark of Archbishop Vasily (Krivoshein), “this antinomy can be understood in such a way that God’s essence, being non-participating as such, becomes in some way participatory through the energy inseparable from it, without, however, losing its “non-originality”.”
In his works, Gregory Palamas examines in some detail the theological consequences to which the assumption of complete identity and non-distinction of essence and energy in God would lead us. In his polemics with the Barlaamites, the saint cleverly uses the “reduction ad absurbum” method. “By adopting the point of view of his opponents, he brings it to absurdities that contradict dogmatic consciousness.” “If,” writes Palamas, “divine energy is no different from the divine essence, then creativity, which is characteristic of energy, will be no different from birth and finding, which are characteristic of essence. If creativity is no different from birth and procession, then creation will not differ from the One who was born and who came out, then the Son of God and the Holy Spirit will not differ in any way from creatures. And all creatures will be the offspring of God and the Father, and creation will be deified, and God will be numbered among the creatures."
An important issue in hesychast theology is the question of what energy (or energies) is in relation to essence.
Distinguishing in God the Three Divine Hypostases, a single essence and natural energies, Orthodox theology at the same time does not allow any complexity in Him, any addition of parts. "Like Persons, energies are not elements of the divine essence that could be considered separately, apart from Holy Trinity, for they are Her general manifestation and Her eternal radiance.”
Divine energies cannot be identified with any of the divine Hypostases or belong to one or another Hypostasis separately. “God,” writes Saint Gregory Palamas, “is Himself in Himself; and the Three Divine Hypostases are natural, integral, eternal and inextricable, but nevertheless unmixed and unmerged mutually, and penetrate each other so that They have the same energy.” Energy cannot be self-hypostatic), for this would turn the Holy Trinity into a quaternary, which, by the way, was sometimes accused by his opponents of St. Gregory Palamas. And it is completely wicked to identify divine energies with created entities. According to the teachings of the hesychasts, all creation is not the energy of God, but the result of energy, that is, what energy produced.
According to the correct remark of V.N. Lossky, divine energies are not conditioned by the existence of the created world - they are coeternal with the essence of God. Even if the world had not been created, God would have existed not only in His impregnable essence, “but also outside it, in His energies pouring out from the essence.” He would manifest himself "like the Sun, shining in its rays outside the solar disk, regardless of whether there are beings capable of perceiving its light or not."
As mentioned above, Saint Gregory Palamas attached particular importance to the preservation of the traditional patristic teaching about God as a Being completely simple, uncomplicated and not having any components or elements. He decisively rejected the philosophical temptation to understand divine energies as something sometimes present or absent, or, in general, changeable in God, that is, to understand energies in the sense of Aristotelian accidents. At the same time, Saint Gregory explained that energies do not introduce any complexity or changeability into God, since they are pure activities of the deity. The difficulty would be if energy presupposed in God the presence of passion (in the sense of passivity), as is the case in created beings. For example, the human mind, in order to think, “needs to “undergo” some kind of experience; divine action, on the contrary, is a pure act, alien to any kind of passion, and therefore does not violate the simplicity of God’s personal Being.”
Thomas Aquinas, in his theological constructions, tried to combine Aristotelianism with the negative theology of Areoapagitik. He developed the doctrine of God as a pure and absolutely simple reality, in which essence is not separated from existence and is completely equal to being. According to Aquinas, God is a pure act; He is "Existence itself." In God and only in Him alone, essence and energy completely coincide.
Thus, divine simplicity "appears not in the identity of the whole divine Being with the essence - which would be for the Greek tradition an abstract philosophical concept of simplicity - but in the fact that there is only one living God," wholly remaining absolutely inaccessible in His essence and wholly revealing yourself in Your energies.
Moving on to a positive presentation of the teaching of St. Gregory Palamas on the distinction between essence and energy in God, let us note two terminological subtleties in the theology of hesychasm.
1. Since energies, like essence, do not exist outside of the Hypostases of the Divine, they can be defined as hypostatic. IN in this case term: simultaneously expresses the personal character of divine “actions” and their immanence to the nature of the Actor.
2. Since energies or divine actions are inseparable from God and at the same time are manifestations of His existence in the created world, then “it is not only justified, but also necessary to use one’s own definitions of the Divine in relation to them: they [the energies] are “Theos and Theotir.” Together However, “it must be noted that there is a consensus of the Eastern Fathers who claim that the word “Theos” etymologically denotes divine energy, and not essence.”
To summarize, we note that St. Gregory, engaged in the practice of mental prayer and hesychia, performed in the very depths of the human personality, moved by the heart and imprinted by the mind, actually experienced the effects of the special grace of God, transforming the whole person. “The transformation and aspiration to the divine light that Palamas preaches is a holistic and comprehensive transformation - not only of the soul, but also of the body; not only the transformation of an individual personality, but also - in the long term and ideally (...) - the enlightenment of the social, political , the state whole. Those who have followed this path to the end and are worthy to see the light of God in a real (...) way achieve the coming (...) transformation. At the same time, the deification of man is accomplished through communion with the energy of God, which is inextricably linked with the transcendental essence of God and brings with it immortality and eternal life" (D.I. Makarov, Anthropology and Cosmology of St. Gregory Palamas, St. Petersburg, 2003, p. 471).
Dogmatic questions about the light of Tabor were not abstract for the life of the Church in the 4th century. They should not be distracting for us either. The trouble is if we perceive them as simple theological or scientific reasoning that has nothing to do with our lives. This can only mean one thing: that the light that God proclaims to us - the light in which there is no darkness - remains unseen for us, and we do not bring the sadness of repentance for being in darkness. All the troubles in the Church are connected, in the end, with the fact that some mysteries of faith become abstract, ceasing to be living, pressing questions that decide our destiny, and we lose the depth of faith, the fullness of the Christian calling that we must realize in the Church.

WITH Tue. Gregory Palamas. From the Word on the Transfiguration of the Lord:
We, turning away from both the ancient and the new heretics, believing as we were taught: that the Saints contemplate and as partakers share the kingdom and the glory and the radiance and the ineffable light and the divine grace - but not the being of God - we go to the radiance of the gracious Light , in order to know and worship the Trinitarian Deity, in one shining, ineffable Radiance from a single trinitarian nature; and let us fix the eyes of our thoughts on the Word, Who with flesh now sits above the vaults of heaven, Who, as befits God, sitting at the right hand of the Majesty, speaks to us as if from afar: “If anyone desires to join this glory, let him, as far as possible, imitates Me and walks the path that I walked on earth and presented as an example as a way of life.”
So, let us contemplate with our inner eyes this great spectacle: our nature, forever united in its life with the immaterial fire of the Divine; and taking off leather clothes, in which we dressed as a result of the crime, i.e. having rejected earthly and carnal concerns, let us stand on the Holy Land: each creating our own personal Holy Land, achieving this through virtue and attraction to God, so that we may have boldness when God comes in the light and, having flowed to Him, shine and abide with Him forever, illuminated to the glory of the Trisolar and unique Radiance, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen.

I will enter your temples and act through you
Beloved El Morya

I AM El Morya come to you again through my messenger.

I AM came in order to approve for you new knowledge and understanding of the events that are now taking place on the subtle plane of planet Earth.

You know that cycles change. Much was said about this both in the dictations given through this messenger and in the dictations given by us through other messengers.

What is characteristic of the current stage of the transformations that are taking place on Earth in connection with the change of cycles?

You will be surprised if I tell you that the transformations on the subtle plane are almost complete. All layers of the subtle plane, with the exception of the lowest astral layers, have been cleared by us of those negative energies, which were able to penetrate layers unusual for their essence.

This was a great job, beloved, and we have successfully completed it.

Now the stage has come when we begin to actually cleanse the layers close to the physical plane and to cleanse the physical plane itself.

What is the difficulty? Those forces that were illegally able to penetrate layers with high vibrations are now pressed by us to the Earth. And they are looking for any excuse to strengthen their position on the physical plane and the densest layers of the astral plane.

These forces do not have their own source of Divine Energy, and they feed on your energy, which you sometimes so thoughtlessly place at their complete disposal.

Therefore, now the issue of control over the expenditure of Divine Energy comes to the fore. And the leitmotif of almost all of these dictations, if you re-read them carefully, is precisely control over the expenditure of Divine Energy, which you, beloved ones, must exercise on your own.

Each of you represents a source of Divine Energy for your physical world. You yourself, as beings endowed with free will, choose what to spend the Energy given to you by God.

You can't help but waste this energy. Divine Energy enters your aura from the Divine world in a continuous stream every minute and every second of your stay on Earth. And it depends only on you how you manage your Divine Energy.

The forces of darkness do not have access to Divine Energy, but they are very sophisticated in the techniques of appropriating your Divine Energy. They take away your energy that you so thoughtlessly give to them through any undivine activity that you allow yourself to carry out in your world.

All modern industry 90% works to satisfy the energy needs of the forces of darkness. Have you ever thought about this, beloved? It seems harmless to you if you go to a rock music concert or allow yourself to watch horror films, soap operas, or films that promote violence.

It seems harmless to you if, following fashion, you buy items and things that you do not need. Every item you purchase carries certain vibrations. And there are things that carry Light, and there are things that take away your Light. Do you think about this when you spend your money, another equivalent of your Divine Energy, on purchasing non-divine things?

Do you consult your Christ self when you make your purchases?

Every moment of your life you make a choice, and this choice of yours directs your Divine Energy either to increase the illusion of this world, or to collapse this illusion.

You color your Divine Energy wonderful feelings filled with joy and love, and you raise the vibrations of this world. And when you are filled with negative thoughts and feelings, then you fill this world with heavy energies, the viscous molasses of your negativity.

And only you yourself can exercise control over every erg of the Divine Energy you expend. We can't do this for you. We would really like each of you to turn into an electrode of Light, filling the world around you with vibrations of harmony, beauty, love, joy. And we take upon ourselves the obligation to help each of you who sincerely wants to help us in our work of cleansing your octave from the forces of darkness. But we cannot force you to make this choice, beloved.

We offer you a very simple solution that will not even require you to spend additional time on reading prayers. Although prayers are needed now more than ever in the world, being additional source Light for the physical octave.

But, if you constantly control yourself, how you spend your Divine Energy, then this will not require any additional costs from you. And, on the contrary, it will help save your Money. Because if you think about where you spend your money, it turns out that 90% of the things and products that you purchase are not needed by you to maintain your physical body. On the contrary, they contribute to the destruction of your body, and you become dependent on an entire industry that first drags you into the process of destroying your physical body and your psyche, and then helpfully offers you a huge range of expensive products that supposedly help restore your health.

Monitor yourself throughout the day. Watch your thoughts, your feelings. Wherever your thoughts are directed, your energy flows. See what you're thinking about. You think about an unfair government and you send your energy to the members of your government, you think about how unfairly your boss treated you at work and you send your energy to him, you think about the story you just watched soap opera, and you send your energy to multiply a whole egregor of artificial thoughts and feelings located on the astral plane.

You are responsible for every erg of energy you mindlessly waste. And every time you spend your energy not in accordance with Divine principles, you create karma. And then, when you are aware of the karmic law, and yet continue to violate Divine principles to please your ego, your karma is of a more severe nature.

Believe me, we do not speak our words in vain. And we don't waste our energy in vain. Every word spoken to you in these dictations through this messenger is aimed precisely at giving you the knowledge that you most need at the moment.

Therefore, we never tire of repeating the same thing to you: you are responsible for spending your energy, and you are doubly responsible for spending your energy if you continue your previous way of life after reading these dictations and convince yourself that everything that is said in these dictations, has nothing to do with you.

You are in incarnation in the physical octave, and many of you, before incarnation, made a commitment to help humanity in this difficult time of transition. And we now remind you of our obligations.

Do not say later, when you appear before the Karmic Board, that you knew nothing and had no idea about anything, that you were not warned and you did not hear anything.

I tell you again and again. Study time is over. You are required to take specific actions and take specific steps on the physical plane.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to formulate our demands on you more clearly than as given through this envoy. You must change the priorities of your consciousness.

Understand that we are powerless to do anything on your physical plane without your help and support. We have no access to your physical world unless one of you prepares your temple for our presence and makes a call to use your four lower bodies so that we can use your hands and feet to carry out our plans.

So I give you this call. And please do it every day.

“In the name of I AM THAT I AM, in the name of my mighty I AM Presence, in the name of my Holy Christ Self, I call upon beloved El Morya to enter my temple and work through me to manifest the Will of God in the physical octave and the dense layers of the astral plane. Beloved El Morya, I place at your complete disposal all my four lower bodies: the physical body, the astral body, the mental body and the etheric body. Act through me, if this is God's Holy Will. Yes, God's Will will be done. Amen.” And I promise you that as soon as the opportunity arises, I will enter your temples and work through you.

And this is how we will change this world! And the Earth will live and become a beautiful star of freedom, joy and love!

I AM El Morya and I have given this message from a place of supreme Love for you.

In a harmonious and spiritual person, reunited with the Power of the Soul, there is a constant exchange of energy. Through the chakras, energy enters the etheric body, and is then distributed to all other energy bodies. A person receives a flow of information and energy from the Higher Divine Forces through the crown chakra. Higher Powers guide us thanks to our Spiritual body. Ideally, a person’s biofield with all its energy bodies can be structurally depicted as follows.

STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN ENERGY BODY

1. PHYSICAL BODY

2. ESSENTIAL BODY

3.ASTRAL BODY

4. MENTAL BODY

5. HUMAN KARMIC BODY

6. SPIRITUAL BODY

7. DIVINE BODY

If we depict the astral body of a person with the underlying bodies, then in color it will look like this: the astral body is golden in color with a dense layer of energy fibers, through which negative energy flows, clots, and entities do not penetrate into the center of the Astral body - the center of the Soul

What does it mean to be a spiritual person? This does not mean going to church and praying regularly. I have many examples of people who seem to go to church, have icons at home, and pray, but life is upside down. For example, there is such a family next door to me. The mother is a very devout woman, and her sons are alcoholics and drug addicts. They constantly fight, swear, and don’t work anywhere. How is this possible? And he goes to church every Sunday, and wears a headscarf all the time, and always says the name of God in words. But her life is full of grief. The father was a drunkard and he was stabbed to death; one of the sons has already served time in prison. This serious topic. One thing I can say is that I see that she and her sons are completely blocked from the Higher Divine structures. Going to church doesn't help her.

A person’s spirituality blossoms and reunification with Divine structures occurs only when a person frees himself from his fears and passivity, from his karmic scenario. Only by reuniting with the Power of his Soul, a person is reunited with the Spirit. If this is not the case, then he is cut off from Higher Powers. And fear of God further aggravates the karmic burden. It alienates a person even more from God.

This can be expressed figuratively as follows: a person is, as it were, blocked by a negative energy cloud, a clot from the Higher Divine Powers (flows of Divine energy of Love and Harmony). His astral body has many negative inclusions and darkenings. The astral body may take on a grayish color. The Astral body itself is loose, easily permeable to negative energy flows. It is significantly smaller in size. This can be depicted schematically as follows.

With calm communication and the presence of harmonious relationships between people, energy level one can see such a picture of the energy interaction between them.


Unfortunately, for most people the energy of the biofield does not have such an ideal picture.

In many people I see closed chakras and a lack of energy exchange with the Universal Divine flows. I see a constant loss of energy that is not sufficiently replenished.

For some, I see an overlap, a blockage from the Higher Divine structures. People do not feel led by their Spirit, they are not reunited with their Soul.

In such cases, we observe strong distortions not only in the chakras, but throughout the entire energy system.

With such blockage, people, not receiving energy from their Spiritual body, look for opportunities to obtain energy from other people.

How do you think they do this?

Many of you probably guessed it.

Of course, with help. energy vampirism.

Each of you knows very well how this happens.

People provoke quarrels, criticize, evaluate, instill their opinions in every possible way, express dissatisfaction and irritation - in short, they put pressure and attack other people in every possible way.

This is called vampirism. In this case, the interaction of people at the energy level looks like this:


I give images of the physical and astral body, because... karmic, spiritual and divine will not fit due to their large size..

Imagine that you are in an absolutely harmonious state of consciousness. You have probably experienced such states in your life. You feel deep inner peace, balance, causeless joy and love for everything that surrounds you. God sends you such moments so that in difficult life situations you can return to the sensations that you experienced in these blissful moments of your life. I recommend that you remember such states.
Or try to reliably fix this state in memory when it descends on you in the near future. This is the standard with which you will compare your states of consciousness at other moments in your life.

Now imagine that you are faced with any disharmonious situation in your life. It could be blaring rock music, discordant people. There are many undivine manifestations that you encounter every day. And when you encounter these inharmonious life situations comes very important point. You can get involved in this situation and you can remain in a balanced state.

I'll bring specific example. You have been insulted at work, in your family or on the street. You were insulted, as it seems to you, completely undeservedly. You can react in two different ways, which I mentioned above. You can get involved in the situation and begin to prove that you are right and you were unfairly insulted, and you don’t have to get involved in the situation. Just fix this situation in your mind, but do not invest your energies into it. Remember that this entire illusory world is supported solely by your energy. And you yourself make a choice every minute and every second where to direct your energy.

And if you join in unpleasant situation, in which you find yourself, you begin to invest energy into this situation, which enters your aura from the Divine world along the crystal string. What happens when this happens?
You invest your energy in imperfection and you multiply the illusion. And most people living on earth do the same. This world is supported only by your energy. And you fuel everything with your energy
imperfection of this world.

Another choice you can make when you find yourself in a disharmonious situation is to refuse to invest your energies in imperfection. Yes, you note that this situation is unfair, but you understand that everything that happens in your physical world is an illusion. So you simply remove this situation from your consciousness and do not allow your consciousness to think about this situation.

This does not mean that you are indifferent to the undivine manifestations of your world. You give your assessment. You definitely give your assessment, you can even tell people around you about your assessment, but you do not put energy into your assessment. You remember those harmonious states in which you were, and you take your consciousness to this level from the inharmonious situation around you.

Illusion is generated by imperfect consciousness.

I want to give you an image of Buddha sitting on the bank of a river. Buddha sits in a meditation pose and watches the river. He sees a chip of wood floating down the river, then a log. Then he sees a boat with people floating by. Buddha sees all this. And he gives an assessment to every object or phenomenon that he encounters, but he does not invest his energies in any of these objects. He just calls a spade a spade and that's it.

If he sits in Buddha's place a common person, his thoughts will cling to every object he sees. He will think, looking at the wood chips, how irresponsible people are, polluting the river. He will think, looking at the log, how he would use this log on his farm. And he will discuss in his mind every person sitting in a boat passing by. I gave you this example to finally clarify for you how you create the illusion surrounding you with your consciousness.

By constantly holding in your head the negative situations that you encounter in life, and replaying your reaction to these situations and the reactions of those around you to your reactions, you are sending your God given energy to multiply the illusion surrounding you. The same applies to any imperfect feeling that you allow into your consciousness. You need to constantly analyze all your thoughts and all your feelings and compare them with the standard of a perfect state, which you must constantly keep in your memory.

Control over the expenditure of Divine Energy.

You need to give up such a feeling as struggle in your consciousness. When you are in the mood to fight, you attract the object of the fight into your world. And if you do not feel the desire to fight, then you will not meet people on your way with whom you will need to fight. Moreover, constantly maintaining your consciousness on high level, you will be able to infect everyone you encounter in your life with this state of consciousness.

Each of you represents a source of Divine Energy for your physical world. You yourself, as beings endowed with free will, choose what to spend the Energy given to you by God. You can't help but waste this energy. Divine Energy enters your aura from the Divine world in a continuous stream every minute and every second of your stay on Earth. And it depends only on you how you manage your Divine Energy.

The forces of darkness do not have access to Divine Energy, but they are very sophisticated in the techniques of appropriating your Divine Energy.

It seems harmless to you if you go to a rock music concert or allow yourself to watch horror films, soap operas, or films that promote violence.

You are responsible for every erg of Divine energy.

Every moment of your life you make a choice, and this choice of yours directs your Divine Energy either to increase the illusion of this world, or to collapse this illusion. You color your Divine Energy with beautiful feelings filled with joy and love, and you raise the vibrations of this world. And when you are filled with negative thoughts and feelings, then you fill this world with heavy energy, the viscous molasses of your negativity.

Monitor yourself throughout the day. Watch your thoughts, your feelings. Wherever your thoughts are directed, your energy flows.
See what you're thinking about. You think about an unjust government; and you send your energy to the members of your government; you think about how unfairly your boss treated you at work, and you send him your energy; you think about the plot of the soap opera you just watched and you send your energy to multiply a whole egregor of artificial thoughts and feelings located on the astral plane.

You are responsible for every erg of energy you mindlessly waste. And every time you spend your energy not in accordance with Divine principles, you create karma. And then, when you are aware of the karmic law, and yet continue to violate Divine principles to please your ego, your karma is of a more severe nature. I tried to fix your attention on your consciousness today.
Because this is the thing you have to work with always.
