Foreword

В«Be aware: if you do not see something,

that inВ no way means it does not existВ»

В В В В Shoshana Kohen

We are living in amazing time of millennium switching, when the humankind should clear the new height in its development. This is the time, when we are given a chance to join in the ancient knowledge, which for long time has been available to very few Initiates. So it was with Tibetan Buddhism, so it was with Dao’s practices that came to us from China; the same happened to teachings of the American Indians, with Qabalah, which ultimately became available for a wider community of those who wish to know the ancient Spiritual Wisdom.

Regardless the fact that the World religion has multiple branches, its Divine root is universal. Since almost forever ago, people ofВ different religious cults inВ fact worshiped the same Celestial Symbols and the same Laws ofВ the Universe, but losing the keys for decrypting the Secret Knowledge resulted inВ the Celestial Truth hiding its original meaning and becoming unavailable for the adherents. The situation became even worse, because different religions associated the Secret Knowledge with different symbols, which with time became absolutely unknowable toВ the great majority ofВ modern people. Therefore, those who study religions are surrounded byВ aВ myriad ofВ unclear symbols; what is even worse, the people totally forgot that those symbols originally had different meanings, very little inВ common with what they are now claimed theyВ are.

Here is what Nicholas Roerich told on the matter (Shambhala. The Roerichs’ International Center. – M.: Bisan-Oasis, 1994):

В«It seems impossible that people could willingly forget the best possibilities. People lost the Keys for Rigveda symbols. People forgot the meaning ofВ Qabalah. People mutilated the wonderful word ofВ Buddha. People lowered with gold the Divine simplicity ofВ Jesus Christ. And they forgot, they forgot the best Keys ofВ the GatesВ».

«People lose easily, but how they find? Ways to find give one the hope. Now, when time is really running out, people – still a few of them – start remembering treasures they possess for long time. Keys of Trust start rattling by the belt. Dreams distinctively and imperatively call to the abandoned yet still existing Beauty.

Just accept. Just take, and see how your inner life changes. How the Spirit will thrill inВ the mind ofВ unlimited opportunities. How easily the Beauty will enlighten the Temple, and aВ palace, and every fireplace, where aВ human heart is warmedВ».

Similar thoughts were expressed byВ Papus inВ his book В«Tarot and Astrology for InitiatesВ» (M.: ACT, Astrel, 2006):

В«Every ancient teaching priest was the Initiate, and knew for certain there is only one religion, while different cults are only toВ present this one religion toВ different nations, inВ accordance with their specific traditions. Therefore, our religious discussions about the supremacy ofВ one religion over others would have been very funny toВ those ancient initiated priests. They would have hardly even imagined that people with intellect could ever deny the unity ofВ all cults inВ one fundamental religion.

Now every cult has its own traditions, its own Book, its own Bible, which teach toВ the unity ofВ all religious faiths, regardless whatever difference
