About the Book How was the universe created, and why? What is the role of man on Earth, and that of intelligent beings on other planets, in it? Why is man here, what is expected of him? These are some of the questions that this book answers. The translator considers the material in this book as religion and philosophy of life for scientists * for scientists and for other people who are willing to think for themselves and to question commonly accepted beliefs. It tells how man should live so that it would be good for everyone, so that Christ's statement about "Paradise on Earth" would indeed come true. The part dealing with religion can be divided into two broad categories. The first one explains, clarifies, and in a few cases supplements the concepts which the Prophets of the past, such as Buddha, Christ, Indra, Mohammed, Moses, Zoroaster, and others proclaimed. The second part tells what the Prophets of the past could not tell back then, because the humanity of that time would not have understood them. Now that humanity's science is much further advanced, The Almighty has decided to reveal the complete truth about the universe. Here the latest scientific knowledge is brought in, and hints are given beyond the current knowledge of science. This book tells about and explains The Almighty's religion of the universe. This in turn entails the reason for the creation of the universe, how the universe is being created and governed, and, yes, the very significant role which man on Earth is expected to play in this process. The Almighty's religion differs dramatically from all other religions currently practiced on Earth. It recognizes and acknowledges all other religions, it does not require an individual to join it. It does not threaten or condemn the "nonbelievers," it permits, it insists on each individual choosing freely for himself or herself. It merely provides some truly thought provoking material to ponder.

About the Author Nick was born in the city of Riga, Latvia in 1936. He spent his childhood during the war years and immediately following the war in Latvia and in Germany. He came to the United States in 1950 and started High School. Nick graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in Bronx, New York. He earned his BS in Electrical Engineering from the City College of New York in 1959, receiving a commission in the Regular Army. After more than eleven years on active duty, including three years in Vietnam, he became a civilian again. While working for a coal mining company he attended the University of Pittsburgh and earned a MS in Engineering in 1973. Shortly thereafter the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory hired him. Currently Nick is retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico as an engineer. He is a licensed Professional Engineer, and is retired from the Unites States Army Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers. Nick had grown up with the Tidings, was frequently present during the conversations and, in later years, assisted with some of the transcribing. While he always took the Tidings for granted, he never had any particular interest in them. Since his retirement from the Army Reserve several unusual coincidences have occurred which influenced Nick to go back and start reading the Tidings. Having read them several times he is now convinced that it is essential for humanity to be made aware of the Tidings and to make them available to it. Therefore he has translated REVELATIONS in English and is currently working on translating the rest of the Tidings. He is thoroughly convinced that the material in REVELATIONS can and will make many people better individuals and better citizens, if only they would read and ponder the material...

Sample Excerpts

Alpha and Omega

At one time only the immaterial spirit of The Almighty existed in the space of universe. The Almighty [[existed]], and matter, which, like fog, immobile and dead, filled this infinite space - immobile matter, within which lay equally immobile energy.

Intolerable tranquility and unbearable silence reigned in the universe. This tranquility and silence had neither a beginning nor an end. This tranquility and silence had neither a purpose nor any sense. They were hostile and unbearable to the living spirit of The Almighty. The Almighty's spirit felt inconceivably lonely in this dead universe of matter. It was intolerable for The Almighty's immortal spirit to live in this immobile and aimless universe.

Overcome by inexpressible despair, The Almighty, in extreme anger, shattered the universe of matter. A cosmic storm arose. Matter was perturbed and began to move. The dormant energy within it arose, and maelstroms of matter started to whirl in the space of the universe. The transformation of matter began. Once perturbed, matter could no longer stop and calm down. Nebulae came into being, these condensed still more, and the so-called suns formed, which rushed through space with enormous speed. They collided and caused huge conflagrations of the universe. They rushed past each other, extracting huge tongues of fire from each other. They parted in the space of heaven, but new, small stars - suns - were left behind them. On cooling down, these became hard and dark. Thus planets came into being.

The Almighty bound matter within His laws, and began to investigate and form this universe. As helpers for Himself, and so that He would not be alone, He created the spirits from His spirit. Yet He failed to achieve the second goal. He remained lonely, for the spirits which He had created were the very same He, simply split into many parts. Imagine, if you humans could split yourselves into several parts, would that save you from loneliness? All of your parts would think, talk, and act the same way as you did. Simply put, you would see yourself, multiplied innumerable times, [[reflected]] in a mirror with a cracked surface. In order for you to preserve yourself, and find a friend, you have to use other means; you have to bear children.

On many planets the conditions arouse where matter on them had hardened into rock and soil. Clouds floated above the ground, it rained, rivers murmured, waterfalls roared, seas billowed, and winds howled. It seemed that matter was alive, but it only seemed like that.

The spirits turned to The Almighty and said, "You had us rule over stars and planets, but this rule has no purpose and no sense. Why does it rain on ground that is lifeless and empty? Why do rivers flow into seas, which are empty and meaningless?"

Once again The Almighty felt alone and despaired. Yes, the space of the universe glittered with stars. Yes, there was eternal noise and movement on the planets. Yet all that was and remained the very same lifeless matter - the hostile and intolerable, dead matter.

Time passed. Then The Almighty undertook an inconceivably great and difficult labor. He undertook a struggle with the very essence of matter. He decided to create living matter. After long, endlessly long, struggles, the great moment arrived when matter began to live. Atoms created the first molecule, and the dead matter began to live and to breathe. Living beings came into being. The ground became covered with grass and trees. The water became filled with fish, the surface of the ground with animals, and even the air with insects and birds.

Now The Almighty and the spirits faced a new task - to form this living matter in a way that it would attain an ideal perfection, would be capable of comprehending the spirit and of ascending to him, and, having comprehended the spirit, would cease its hatred and would merge with the spirit to realize the loftiest goal - the creation of the most ideal universe.

One goal still remained, though - The Almighty's desire not to be alone, and to acquire spirits for Himself who would be capable of understanding Him, and of helping Him in forming the universe. This goal had still not been achieved.

Then The Almighty began His second gigantic work of creation. He had given the animals a brain, that is, a complicated nerve center, because the animals had to move and had to seek food for themselves. They also had to fight and adapt themselves to the demands of life and nature. With His spirit, He spiritualized this nerve center, which so far had been guided by instinct. He created man on Earth, and other beings, similar to him, on some other planets, but not many. He formed a wonderful brain for this man, and turned this wonderful thought-laboratory over to the spirit.

The cycle of loneliness was concluded with that. The Almighty's spirits, on incarnating in human bodies, engage in a struggle therein against the living and hostile matter. However, this is not a struggle of destruction, but a struggle of resurrection and transformation. The spirits give much to matter, and they, themselves, also receive much and transform, thus helping The Almighty to form an ideally perfect universe and conquer the inertia of matter - [[its desire]] not to live and its hatred for His spirit, for having forced it to live and to move.

Man's task is, by combining the strengths of the spirit and of matter - the body - to rise above the currently existing laws of nature and to create an ideally perfect and eternal being, who will ascend to the level of divinity, and jointly with The Almighty will undertake continued formation and ruling of the universe. This is what the goal and sense of human life is. For the time being, while it still has not been possible to overcome matter and to form an immortal body, the spirits have to travel from one body to the next.

To you, the goal of humanity's life may still appear to be unexpectedly great and unachievable. However, that may only seem like that, for man is guided by The Almighty's all surmounting and immortal spirit.

With that, The Almighty achieved His second goal. He, the father, with the help of matter, the mother, has created for Himself a son - man, who will be He, and also not He.

You have to keep one thing in mind, though. You have now been given the opportunity to understand The Almighty and the universe which He has created, to understand The Almighty's sense of creation, and the goal and sense of human life. While understanding all this, you have to comprehend on your own what you have to do, in order to achieve this goal.

To those who do not wish to heed the call of The Almighty, He leaves only one alternative - the road to nonexistence. All those who do not wish to heed the call of The Almighty - to form the world and to reach the heights of the spirit, The Almighty - to them The Almighty promises neither Paradise, nor threatens them with Hell. He merely allows them, as unnecessary [[specks of]] dust, to drift through the window of the universe into the darkness of nonexistence.

The Almighty divided Himself into two high spirits - God and Satan. They are visible to the spirits, and They are accessible to them. God has the right to uplift the spirit of living beings and of man, and to illuminate him with light and love. He has been given the right of listening to man and of helping him. Satan has the right to evaluate man, to punish and to destroy him. Observing from the human point of view, God possesses only everything that is good, and Satan - everything that is evil. Therefore, pray only to God, for The Almighty will not listen to you. Do not pray to God with words, but with good deeds. We, The Almighty's Chief Spirits, Alpha and Omega, bring to you ten, and to all the people, The Almighty's blessing and the love of God.

May you be bright as the sun, and strong as steel.

Encounters of Mortifero

Now the last example: There were two friends. One day one of them lost his entire family [[in an accident]]. He told his friend, "Death stalks the world, but I will escape it! I will build a castle on a lonely island. It will not be able to reach me there."

His friend replied, "You are mistaken! I will set out into the world to seek death. We shall see which one of us will be still alive in ten years!"

He went to wars, and hunting in the jungles.

The other one built a steel castle on a lonely island. The windows were enclosed with bars and screens, so that no insect could get in. The air was filtered; food checked by physicians, who also examined daily the castle's master. Robots served food to him. Guards protected the castle and no one could enter it. The last day of the tenth year was approaching. The last night spread its wings over the steel castle. The master sat in a room at a table and read. I sat down on a chair on the opposite side of the table.

Startled, the master looked at me, "How did you get in here?"

I pointed toward the locked steel door.

"Who are you?"
"Death," I replied.
"Death? What do you want?"
"Your death," I said.
"But how will you manage that here, in a steel castle? After all, you're not going to cause an earthquake just for me, an insignificant person?"
"That will not be necessary," I responded.
"Then how can that be accomplished?"
"Quite simply," I replied slowly.

Alarmed, he stood up, stuffed some tobacco into his pipe, and bent down to the fire in the fireplace. Then he suddenly remembered something, and straightened out his bent back. His temple struck the sharp edge of the fireplace. Blood splashed, and the castle's master stretched out in the middle of the room.

"You have won, you unbeatable and inescapable!" his lips whispered, and then became stiff for ever. His friend arrived at the castle the next morning, and gazed sadly into the face of the deceased. "How silly it is to die like that! I remained alive even in the hell of fire and in the teeth of a tiger. Yet you die from the edge of a fireplace - you, who had anticipated everything, except this sharp edge!"
"Yes, everything," I said while standing next to the steel wall.
"Who are you?"
"Merely your ordinary Death, whom you sought the world over."
"And why have I been summoned here?"
"Because the ten years are up today. I summoned you to tell you that you have won by six hours."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that you, too, will die at once!"
"Who, me? That's absurd! I, who could not die even in the claws of beasts or the explosions of shells * I will die here, in this ideal castle of safety?"
"Yes, you will die," I said.
"You lie, Death," the man cried out. "Then sooner you, yourself, will die!"

He drew his pistol and fired at me. The bullet reached the steel wall, ricocheted, and hit him in the eye. With a horrible scream he staggered, stretched out his arms sideways, and took a few steps backward. He stumbled over his friend's corpse and, like a cut tree, fell to the sonorous steel floor. He was dead.
