About the Book The two books in one volume in your hands give invaluable guidance for Seekers who have taken the courageous first steps along the Path of spiritual evolution. The authors base their knowledge on their personal spiritual experiences, the teachings of Ascended Masters from many traditions, and recent spiritual insights from Russia. The Laws of Life gives a basic spiritual roadmap for our journey. This book reveals the cosmic Laws that govern our life and explains their acting mechanisms. The Return of the Prodigal Son addresses our need for practical methods to reach our destinations along life's journey. Such methods can be applied by anyone, anywhere, to come in better touch with the wisdom that already exists within all of us - the Inner God. These include developing the abilities: to read Karmic Signals and to escape the spiritual prisons - "cocoons", to balance the collected Karma and to establish the channel of communication with the Higher Self, to become a pure "Spiritual Converter", to co-create with Spirit, to apply the opportunities the "Seasons of Life" present for spiritual growth - amongst many other fascinating and practical techniques.

Excerpts

INTRODUCTION

The eternal question "Who am I and what is my origin?" has always fascinated humanity. By exploring the World of Spirit as the origin of everything, both spiritual and material, in our Universe, we can find answers to this and also to a multitude of other our questions. There are strict and precise laws in the Cosmos, which describe the mechanism of ongoing creation, where Spirit is creating through every Essence. These laws govern the existence of any Essence in multidimensional Infinity, from universes to atoms. Whether we are aware of it or not, the lifestream of every human being is also under the influence of these laws.

In the book before you now, we try to reveal the most fundamental cosmic laws, their principles, mechanisms, forms of manifestation, and their impact on human life. From our daily experiences and from the experiences of many other people, we see how awareness of the universal laws liberates us from fear and cravings. When we understand and willingly accept cosmic laws, we can come into collaboration with the creating Spirit.

The Tree of Cosmic Laws

Its roots are deep in the soil and take their strength from the matter of earth. The leaves of its crown bathe in the sunlight and drink the divine heavenly energy of love. Indians call this heavenly energy "prana" and the Chinese "chi". The trunk symbolises the unity between Earth and Heaven, between the three-dimensional material world and the multi-dimensional spiritual world. We refer to the separate parts of the tree: the roots, the crown and the trunk, but they are parts of the whole Tree of Cosmic Laws.

page 321-322

Beyond Caterpillar Consciousness: Let us imagine a caterpillar on a leaf. Its vision is constrained to the surface of the leaf. The leaf and the foliage nearby encompass its entire world. The caterpillar is probably quite surprised when the leaf becomes yellow and falls from the tree in autumn. The caterpillar's consciousness is two-dimensional. It knows nothing about the wider universe of the tree and its network of roots and branches, much less the seasons that control its growth. They exist in a dimension the caterpillar cannot imagine in its wildest dreams. The same applies to a human being. Human physical body lives in three-dimensional space, but the spiritual body extends far from its material manifestation, roaming through the far reaches of space to the all-dimensional World of Spirit (God). As an inseparable part of this World, the higher spiritual aspects of a human being are multidimensional. The earthbound human being, bound as he/she is by the limited three-dimensional consciousness, cannot see with the clear eye of the spiritual Self. If we are aware only of our physical body, we cannot understand the effect of our spiritual Self and its state upon our health, relationships and destiny.

We try in vain to find explanations limited to the three-dimensional material world with which we are familiar. We cannot penetrate to the real roots of the effects we feel in the outer world because they lie in the other dimensions of our spiritual Self. Are we, ordinary people, totally attached to our familiar three dimensions? It seems so, but only when we are acting as if unaware of any other dimensions. When we purify our mind amid the welter of routine thoughts and opinions, we become capable of expanding and multiplying the coordinates of our lives. By multiplying the coordinates of our professional and personal lives, we expand our personal universe and all its possibilities.

A caterpillar is not aware of its ability to fly. It doesn't even dream of flying. By shedding its skin, the caterpillar can grow wings, become a butterfly and receive a whole new dimension of life - it can fly! Our caterpillar may be apprehensive about the necessity to change its life. It seems like death, but dying as a caterpillar, it resurrects as a butterfly!

The Essence of Life: The same universal laws and mechanisms maintain order in every part and aspect of the Universe. The mechanism of manifestation is the same for every atom as for the entire Universe. The Spirit's Consciousness manifests them as holograms with Its vibrations (waves) of Fire and Light. They become manifestations (projections) of the Creator's intention or design. In conformity with the main property of a hologram, every its part repeats the whole. Hence it follows that any part and particle of the Universe repeats the whole Universe. There should be a universal process for the manifestation of the initial design in the Universe and any of its parts. This process is Life. All the created holograms are living Essences, as we understand when we define Life as Kalagia does: "Life is the endless transmutation of death into the growth of Spirit, into the concentration of Its possibilities. This is an aspect of Matter's spirituality - aspiration to the Future, and, in this way, the formation of the ingredients of Order from Chaos." (Kalagia, 1.27.1).

God is within us and equally within every Essence in the Infinity.

page 43-44

Every Essence has been initially created in the Highest - in the Spirit's Consciousness. Indeed, the process of creating is the Creator's sacrifice. Spirit sacrifices Its Love energy to the Creation, proclaiming self-sacrifice as the motive power of Love. It divides Its energy body into Monads that set off on their cyclic journey: towards Involution, materialisation, and backwards to Evolution, unification in the One. Finally they become unified in the same endless Consciousness that has created them initially. But this time they are self-conscious, knowing all of the lessons to be learned in the Universe just completed.

The Search for Love: The Search for Love is actually the contents of every human life. It begins from the mother's self-sacrifice and cocreation with Spirit when she gives birth to her child, when she helps the Creator to manifest her child's Monad on the Earth. Children feel the flow of Love energy from the hearts of their mothers because they are still tightly connected with them, because they exist in the same energy field, in the same space of Love. In their childhood, they learn to sacrifice their Love energy. For a child, this is easy because the child's Soul is open. It is yet not covered with the envelopes of self-defence from the dangers of the surrounding world. Therefore children are endlessly creative and develop quickly.

Lucky are the children who are growing up in the field of Love! Lucky are they who are taught to search for God I AM and the divine Love energy within, in the depths of their "Reactor of Evolution"! There they find their unending eternal source of creativity. There they find the source of Love that they are capable of sacrificing. They don't depend on circumstances because even in a hermit's cave they are able to receive this miraculous divine energy of Love from within their being. Self-sacrifice becomes their natural condition because this is the natural condition of Love energy flowing from within their being. In some cases, perhaps, defined by the Karma collected in previous lives, people don't receive enough Love energy in their childhood or aren't taught to expend this energy properly. Our civilisation often requires mothers to expend their Love energy for their career and social life. They become entrapped into different "cocoons" with their self-defence, dogmas, social opinions and goals. Children are therefore taught to do the same.

People, who feel a lack of Love energy from within their enveloped "Reactor", are searching for such energy from without. They try to receive it from other people. Pursuing this goal people apply whatever means they can to become more "attractive". Sometimes they try to buy love for money. At other times they exploit people, especially children, who sincerely trust them. In fact, one can say that ambitious people, who are determined to become wealthy and famous, really desire to receive the same - to be loved. Political and religious leaders search for the love of their followers. Tyrants desire to receive this love by force. When Love energy is received from without, from other people, it becomes consumed, and more energy is desired. The search for the external sources of Love energy then becomes a constant preoccupation of one's life. This pursuit of Love energy enmeshes people in the process of accumulation and balancing Karma, till the moment of spiritual awakening comes and changes the direction of their search. The search now turns within - to God I AM, to the unfolding of the "Reactor of Evolution".

On the Path: All religions, the esoteric science and ancient philosophical doctrines recognise Spiritual Birth. It is the beginning of the long and hard way of ascent. After his awakening, the Prodigal Son - now the Son of God - entered his spiritual path. The Father provided his Son with a "torch" of His divine Light to illuminate the way. Now the Son has to go into every nook of his Soul - of his personal universe - and illuminate it with the light of awareness. This light will reveal every trace of imperfection and "spiritual mud" that has to be sacrificed for the advancement on the Path.

This is a lifetime job for the Son, now a spiritual student. He has to learn a lot to understand the world and himself from the standpoint of his spirit. Simultaneously, he has to balance his relationships with his surroundings, where any living entity is also a Spirit's creation. He has to purify his body, mind and Soul from the contaminations that he collected because of his past ignorance. He has to master his ability and skills of handling his energy. He has to become aware of the purpose of his life in the light of his spirit. He has to learn to practice his spiritual knowledge, abilities and skills in his daily life. Undoubtedly, the spiritual keys that he receives and the techniques that he masters will help him to solve his problems with health and relationships. But the most precious gifts that the Son may receive will be endless creative abilities of a real Son of the Creator.

Question: Am I really completely free in my choices?

Comment: The law of freewill does not limit you, but according to another law - the law of the Cosmic Magnet - you usually attract situations and decisions that are in conformity with your state of consciousness and your energy vibrations.

page 47

We make seemingly clear and practical choices from the material standpoint. But because we are unaware of the far-reaching implications of our deeds, the consequences of our choices very often become different from our expectations. The shortest road to "success" can actually turn into a long journey through karmic trials. By constantly misusing our free will to satisfy our illusory desires, we can almost endlessly rotate in the so-called "Samsara Wheel" of karmic choices and the resultant necessity of balancing Karma.

The Method of Karmic Signals: It is sometimes difficult to understand the real conditions of choice and come to the awareness of the divine Will. But the inner voice of our Monad, our conscience, our God-connection, is constantly warning us and suggesting right decisions. We can receive signals of our Higher Self through intuition or occurring situations and apply them to recognise the right direction for our actions. For this purpose, we have proposed the Method of Karmic Signals (we give a broader explanation of this method in the section "Following Karmic Signals" of this book and "The Method of Karmic Signals" in The Return of the Prodigal Son). This is a practical method, which can help to notice and understand the signals that our Higher Self sends us to show the right direction for our spiritual development.

Question: If everything is preordained by my horoscope, do I have any free will?

Comment: We, humans, are endowed with our free will for learning and producing spirituality, i.e. Order from Chaos. This is our main human spiritual duty and purpose of our existence. Constellations and planets define the conditions for our choices in the current incarnation, but whatever they predict us, we have to choose our actions. As the ancient Romans said: "The stars impel, they do not compel".

Question: When I have doubts about my decisions, I usually go to professionals: a doctor, a solicitor or a teacher, etc. and ask for advice. In such a way, every choice is supported with the professional knowledge of my advisers. Isn't this the best way of making right choices?

Comment: Certainly, we need to collect some information before making decisions, whether from books, the Internet, or from professionals. But it doesn't secure us from the unexpected consequences of our choices. Our advisers do not know the real karmic cause of the event which forces us to choose, nor the spiritual lesson that we have to learn through this event and our choice. What is more, by relying on other people in our decision-making, we often come into certain karmic relations with them, and receive an additional problem of balancing this Karma in the future. By relying on others, we usually, consciously or unconsciously, try to avoid our main human purpose of producing spiritual Order in our consciousness. In this case, we do not build the inner strength, or spiritual momentum, necessary for further progress on the spiritual path. Our Higher Self is aware of our lessons. We can receive the most spiritually comprehensive answer from our inner God I AM, if we are able to ask and listen to the fine voice from within.
