Nick Mezins

Nick was born in the city of Riga, Latvia in 1936. Hr 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 the Bronx, New York. He earned his BS 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 returned to civilian life. While working for a coal mining company he attended the University of Pittsburgh and earned an MS degree in Engineering in 1973. Shortly thereafter the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory* in Los Alamos, New Mexico hired him as an engineer. Nick is currently retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory*, and is a licensed Professional Engineer, and is also retired from the United States Army Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers. Nick grew 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 he had an occasion to look up something that he vaguely seemed to remember from his childhood. This led Nick to go back and start reading the entire Tidings. Having read them several time he is now convinced that it is essential for humanity to be made aware of the Tidings and to make them available. Therefore he started translating these communications into English like Alexander Homics had done, but had not been able to finish publishing, and had his updated version published under the title REVELATIONS by Trafford Publishing in 2000. The six0volume series - The Tidings - is a follow-up to REVELATIONS and expands, explains, and elaborates on what it contains. He is thoroughly convinced that the materials in The Tidings can and will make many people better individuals and better citizens, if only they would read and ponder the material.... *The name of the Laboratory was changed while Nick worked there.

FOREWORD

The material in this book came through human vehicles, but is not of human origin. It started in mid-1943 in Latvia, one of the three Baltic countries that regained their independence from the Soviet Union when it broke up in 1991 after its long stranglehold on those countries since World War II. Two women had gotten together and tried to communicate with the spirits in the days of uncertainty in the midst of World War II. One of them was Mary, the mother of the translator of this volume, Nick Mezins.

What eventually started coming through was a series of communications from entities who gave their names and identified themselves as spirits that are behind the workings of the Universe, including the planet Earth, and the development of matter and the spiritual nature of humankind.

As things progressed, Mary invited others to join. Some did, and then left for personal reasons, while others stayed to become the core group: Mary and her husband Janoss (initially referred to as John M.), Alexander Upenieks (who soon became the leader of the group), and my father, Alexander Homics, (Alexo, who initially was referred to as Alexander H.). Mary and Alexo were the two individuals who each could, jointly with Alexander, establish communication with the spirits. (During some of the longer communications, Mary and Alexo alternated back and forth, and short intermissions were given for this purpose.) Alexo came to be the main transcriber for the group, typing up the handwritten material after each session and distributing it to the group members.

In late summer of 1944, when the Russians began to gain the upper hand over the Germans in Latvia, the members of the group at different times fled from Latvia and went to Germany, where they fortunately settled in what was to become the American Zone, and resumed their sessions. Later, several years after World War II was finally over, the members immigrated at different times to the United States, settling in New York. There, starting in 1950, they resumed their sessions. The last session took place in January of 1971.

When my father retired in the late 1960s, he translated virtually all of the material into English. He had organized it into ten volumes, plus two separate volumes that consisted of material in a fictionalized form. Sadly, he succeeded in publishing only the first two volumes before his death in 1982¹.

In 1992 Nick Mezins – the son of Mary and Janoss Mezins – published REVELATIONS: Extracts From the Book of Tidings of The Almighty and His Spirits to Humanity (Winston-Derek, 1992), which highlighted excerpts from the message material; it was reissued in 2000 by Trafford Publishers. In 2002 appeared THE TIDINGS: Further Extracts From The Book of Tidings of The Almighty and His Spirits to Humanity, Volume One, which consists of a fuller translation, covering part of the time period of World War II. At present Nick is working on Volume Two of The Tidings, which will comprise the waning days of World War II and the period immediately following it.

As can be seen from the titles of the volumes cited, there are the usual problems of translating from one language to another while trying to retain the original meaning. For example, my father chose to use the word messages as opposed to Nick Mezins translating the same word as tidings, (which could also have been translated as communications). Another example: my father used the word messengers, and Nick prefers the word heralds. I myself like the word envoys. But the important thing is to make the material and the concept therein, available to all seekers on the Path to truth, and so it is encouraging to see this voluminous material still being worked on and put out further to the public.

INTRODUCTION TO REVELATIONS

The material in this book is not of human origin. It has not been thought of by a human mind. The material in this book originated from The Almighty, from God, from the chief spirits and the spirits. It has been passed on to humanity on the planet Earth by the chief spirits and by the spirits. It has been passed on through The Almighty’s heralds to the planet Earth, who, outwardly, were ordinary human beings.

Initially, the heralds wrote down this material in longhand. Afterwards it was typed, and several copies were made. Care was taken to see that no accidental alterations were made. The original and the typed version were compared carefully. Some errors in grammar were found and corrected, and it was agreed that the corrections did not alter the meanings of the phrases or the sentences. In each case the heralds concurred that the correction did not alter the meaning of the material.

The chief spirits and the spirits passed the material down, through the heralds, in a language other than English. My involvement is limited to translating it into English. I have taken great pains to translate the material so as not to alter its meaning. At times I have sacrificed the quality of English, or its proper usage, in order to avoid possibly altering its meaning.

Some explanations are in order to assure a full understanding of the authenticity of the material. Unless otherwise indicated, the contents of this book came from the chief spirits and the spirits. For the sake of clarity, some questions and statements by the heralds have been included. These have been enclosed in double brackets ([[]]). All material enclosed in double brackets is of human origin, such as questions posed by the heralds, reading of material from the Bible, and so on. In addition, at times I have inserted a word, or words, not in the original. These are enclosed in single brackets ([]) and were inserted due to the peculiarities of the two languages. Sometimes English requires a word or phrase which is only implied in the original language.

Each tiding begins with a title line. This title line consists of the name of the spirit or chief spirit talking, the date of the conversation, and, generally, the starting time of the conversation. These are not part of the tiding itself and should have been enclosed in the double brackets, except for appearance. The ending time of the conversation, when given, is enclosed.

Since this book is a book of extracts from The Book of Tidings, not everything is included in it. To denote whenever something has been omitted, the triple asterisk (- * * * -) symbol has been used. This symbol, when used within a paragraph, indicates that part of the paragraph has been omitted. When used in a line by itself, it indicates that an entire paragraph has been omitted. This symbol is not repeated whenever more than one paragraph may have been omitted.

In reading this book, both the brackets and the triple asterisk symbols should be disregarded. They become important only when questioning the exact meaning of a phrase, sentence, or paragraph. Then they indicate that, if the question is of sufficient importance, one should go back to the original language and satisfy oneself as to the exact meaning of the original. While reading the communications, these symbols should be disregarded.

A few words follow regarding the use of the word man. It has more than one connotation in English. Generally, in this book, the word man is intended to mean a human, the singular of the word people, rather than the male of the human species. Man is used synonymously with human, individual, and person. In those cases where it does indicate gender, the text makes it evident. The plural men, however, is used only when gender is indicated, otherwise people or similar words are used. The expression man on Earth should denote what this is all about.

Thank you very much for putting up with these technical explanations. They are superfluous for most readers, but may be important to a few. Therefore they have been included.

INTRODUCTION

The volume REVELATIONS: Extracts From The Book of Tidings of The Almighty and His Spirits to Humanity, (originally published in 1992 by Winston-Derek Publishers, and now available in the revised edition from Trafford Publishing), contains what I consider to be highlights from the extensive material received by a small group of people during World War II and which continue to 1971. In it are included only those conversations which reveal something new or else, in a few cases, conversations which present rather concise and explicit summaries of the material.

It would be helpful, but not essential, to read REVELATIONS first, as it gives the reader an overall idea about The Almighty’s teachings, and a general understanding of, and appreciation for, what they are all about. Also, toward the end, REVELATIONS specifically explains that a number of proposed formalities are only suggestions or examples, but not mandatory requirements as appears to be implied in this volume. This would include such things as the method of electing the priest and the board of the congregation for the church of the future.

I have organized the bulk of the material which comprises The Book of Tidings of The Almighty and His Spirits to Humanity as much as possible according to directions given in the Tidings themselves:

On April 13, 1944 Ilgya said in part,

"…systemize all conversations with the spirits into three books. Everything that refers to the faith has to be collected into the first one. Into the second – advice for life, how to bring up the spirit and the body, how to raise children, and so on; as well as those stories which have an everyday significance. Collect into the third book everything that pertains to you and the accomplishment of your work."

In the present volume – THE TIDINGS, Volume One – I have included what I feel are Books One and Two. In a few cases, brief passages which probably belong in Book Three have been retained, primarily for the sake of continuity in the case of a particular conversation. Material that appeared in REVELATIONS is given here in its fuller context and is marked by arrows at the beginning and end. In order to facilitate locating a particular conversation, the Table of Contents lists in chronological order each spirit whose tiding is included in that chapter, and shows whether there was more than one tiding.

The fuller context in this volume includes explanations and clarifications, stories which illustrate some of the concepts, and, sometimes, related ideas that are of importance. There are also descriptions of interesting events on the planet Earth as well as on a few other planets, some of which are related to specific heralds.

The present volume covers part of the period of World War II. Subsequent volumes will cover later periods of time and will be made available as the material is further translated. Volume Two, for example, will include material received through the waning days of World War II and the period immediately following it. Once all the material belonging in Books One and Two has been translated, I plan to start working on a translation of the complete material, which will include what Ilgya called Book Three. This will not add much to the teachings, but will be of historical and biographical interest.

CHAPTER I

1943

Dagmara, A. Aurora (6), Santorino, Astra (4), Alpha (2)

Dagmara 11/21/43

[[Answers to our questions.]]

Nonexistence is a complete annihilation – zero. Hell is eternal darkness, eternal night. That is the most dreadful thing. Spirits of the first degree – those who have fallen – are sent to Hell.

Once you are with us, you will find out how many degrees there are. I am of the fifth degree. The first degree consists of those spirits who have been born for the first time. Do not ask in which degree you will be after death.

Those spirits of the first degree who have fallen are the ones who did not carry out the tasks of the spirit, and succumbed to the evil spirit.

The duties of the spirits are superhuman. As assigned by The Almighty, they have to look after the living beings.

Clemency for those in the first degree, who have fallen, will come after a thousand years. Those spirits who have passed into nonexistence will never be reborn, for no road leads back from nonexistence.

The spirits of murderers and criminals are treated just like the manure from a barn – they are cleared out and forgotten.

The spirits who are born for the first time are formed from The Almighty’s holiness. None of the spirits has ever seen the face of The Almighty.

It is not known whether good or evil will win, for The Almighty has not revealed His face yet.

The universe came into being from The Almighty’s holiness.

[[Question: How can we, people, understand that?]]

It is not possible [to understand that].

[[We ask, How can wars break out when there is The Almighty and the good spirits, who look after us?]]

Just as quarrels and fights [break out] among the servants of a master, for The Almighty rules free people but not slaves.

One’s degree is not advanced based on the manner of one’s death, but rather due to the number of deaths and achievements.

Killing a human being in war is not considered to be murder.

- * * * -

A. Aurora 11/28/43

[[We ask, Are The Almighty and God, the very same entity?]]

Yes and no.

[[We ask, How can that be understood?]]

Santorino can explain that to you. Santorino is a spirit of the very highest degree.

[[We ask, Would it be possible to ask Santorino to come?]]

Wait for five minutes. I will ask.

[[After five minutes.]] Santorino will come to you on December 5, 1943, between three and four o’clock in the afternoon.

Cover an easy chair with a black cloth and place a laurel branch on it. He will be coming from the Deoss Temple.

The Deoss Temple is where the spirits meet. After receiving one’s degree, one arrives in it in the surge of God’s rays and the harmony of The Almighty’s blessing.

Ask the spirits only if you feel the blessing of believing in what has never yet been heard by, and revealed to, the eyes and hearts of mortals.

No one in the world is completely worthy of conversing with Santorino. However, the world now finds itself on the threshold of a new era. This will come after the current catastrophe of humanity and will bring entirely new ideas about the hereafter and religion for the world.

- * * * -

[[Question: Are Santorino’s revelations intended just for us, or for others as well?]]

You are intended as the first doves, whose wings may break, for a dreadful storm rages outside.

Santorino summons me this evening, and I must alight. Alighting is the means of transportation of the spirits.

- * * * -

A. Aurora 12/05/43

[[We ask for Dagmara to come to us.]]

Today is not her – Dagmara’s – day.

[[We ask, Will Santorino come?]]

Santorino will not come. Santorino will come only to those who are worthy of believing [in the spirits].

[[Explanation: We had not assembled on time and also did not express absolute faith.]]

[[We ask, How can we know that the evil spirits are not playing tricks?]]

There is no way.

[[We ask, Whose spirit are you, Aurora?]]

I am the Spirit of the Star of Light. I have never died. I am the spirit for many stars, also [for many] people.

I see that you had misunderstood me last Sunday. I came to you for the first time, and the low spirits are not permitted to be present at the time of my visit, for the planet Earth is under my radiance as well.

Silence! Santorino will speak. Santorino announced that he understands the insignificance of the spirits and of people, and will talk with you. Await him! He alights from the Deoss Temple.

I depart; he arrives.

Santorino 12/05/43

Ego Santorino. Have the person who is writing, pick up the laurel branch in his left hand. With the laurel branch, draw the sign of the cross across the table. Ask.

[[Question: Are God and The Almighty, the very same entity?]]

God is the one whom we see and who talks with us.

[[Question: And The Almighty?]]

Try to understand – The Almighty is invisible and incomprehensible. He has always existed and will always exist. At one time He was all alone. Then He created worlds and the spirits, who have to develop and grow until they attain the degree of divinity. Dixi.

[[We ask, Was Christ the Son of God?]]

Yes.

The Almighty created the spirits to be entirely free, so that they could grow and develop independently, or else fall into decay. He divided Himself into two parts. In one part, all the good; that is God. In the other, all the evil that was within Him; that is Satan. There is also evil within The Almighty, for He is everything.

The concepts about God changed along humanity’s road of development. Every six hundred years, before and after the birth of Christ, He sent His teachers – Buddha, Christ, and Mohammed – to the various nations. Dixi.

[[Question: Will The Almighty send us His teachers again?]]

No, for humanity has already achieved the state of self- comprehension. There will be [more of His teachers], except the more eminent spirits will come forth from among the people, themselves.

The teachings of Christ have been surpassed already. Humanity advances further and higher. - * * * -

Christ spoke in the language of parables.

God and Satan have equal rights and authority. Satan can overcome God temporarily. Satan had to come so that, in the struggle between good and evil, the divine spirits, who are free and noble, could ascend.

You cannot know who the next teachers will be, for they do not have names yet.

Praying for the deceased will probably benefit the deceased but, most certainly, will not harm them.

There is life on other planets as well, except entirely different. Those who are not destined for nonexistence may get there. Nonexistence is not predestined. It depends only on the individual’s own worthiness. This worthiness can be achieved thusly: one must learn; one must suffer; one must struggle and conquer all evil; one must set oneself free from the Earth; one must grow.

My time is running out, hurry up!

New Gods come into the universe. Satan’s years are numbered. The Almighty reveals His face.

I will talk with you some other time. Prepare your questions and summon Aurora. Be strong and wise; differentiate between the significant and the trivial. Low spirits are destined to err. Do not ask the spirits insignificant questions.

I would like to believe in you, for the lead spirits of millions – Aurora, Aristotle, and Ptolemy – implored on your behalf. Salve!

A. Aurora 12/05/43

I thank you for withstanding the evaluation. Santorino is satisfied, despite your dreadful mistakes. These mistakes were: lack of faith – fortunately, in me – failure to prepare yourselves, and failure to observe the time. This could have been fateful, had Santorino arrived on time.

[[We ask, How come that Aurora did not talk with us Sunday?]]

Do not confuse me with low spirits.

[[Question: How come that both Dagmara and Aristotle are Mary’s spirits?]]

I, Aristotle, and Ptolemy are the spirits of multimillions.

You do not have to know why we, the high spirits, are interested in you.

Should you wish to talk with me, use the sign of the cross and two As, summon me thus: A. Aurora.

You may also ask about particularly important questions in life, but it would be better to ask Dagmara or Aurora about them.

Because of the war, the might of Satan now rules the world.

Astra 12/06/43

I am a ray of light – the messenger. Dagmara cannot come today, for it is Monday when the spirits generally remain silent. The spirit of the deceased Nicholas M. was with you an hour ago. He cannot come again.

[[Question: Why?]]

He is in the Solar Fields.

[[Question: What does that mean?]]

Only Alpha can explain that. Alpha is the Chief Spirit of the Past and the Beginning. Alpha will not talk with you, because it is Monday. I am the only one who talks; I, the ray, the messenger. My duties are to inform the spirits of God’s decisions, and the people of the decisions of the spirits.

- * * * -

I have not been given anything else to announce to you today.

Astra 12/12/43

[Tell me], with whom would you like to talk? You may talk with Dagmara directly. Alpha cannot come, for one can talk with him only through Santorino. Alpha is not higher than Santorino, but he communicates only with the very highest spirits.

I will summon A. Aurora.

A. Aurora 12/12/43

The Solar Fields are at the foot of the stairway to the Deoss Temple. Only the more eminent spirits assemble in them, the rest assemble in the Lunar Fields. In addition to these fields, there is also nonexistence. There is a great difference between the Solar and Lunar Fields. Ask Santorino about that, for that is not my sphere.

Do not ask about my sphere.

The spirit and the soul are the same entity.

What has been said in the teachings of Christ, that the living and the dead will be judged, should be understood allegorically.

Silence! Listen! Santorino informed me that God has permitted him to request Alpha to reveal – to Mary, Alexander U., and still a third one – their past, their former forms, places, and times of life.

Alpha will reveal this to you, [[Mary]], next Sunday at three o’clock. [He will reveal] who you were prior to this life on Earth.

Prepare everything just as for Santorino. You may use the dried out laurel branch. You have to conduct yourselves in the same manner as with Santorino. Alpha is just as high a spirit as Santorino is.

You must not talk at all. Alpha will come on his own. Only Alpha will speak. You may not ask him anything. Do not make any mistakes, for Alpha never repeats anything.

The third one to whom Alpha will reveal his past will be according to your request.

[[Mary asks, I would like my husband to be the one.]]

Very well, that will be the case.

Exactly at three, draw the [sign of the] cross with the laurel branch, and await Alpha in silence. No one may disturb you in any manner while Alpha will be speaking. You may write down Alpha’s answers.

Your past will be revealed to you so that you could comprehend better your future conversations with Santorino and in order to carry out the silent desire of your [[Mary’s]] soul. Little Nick, too, may, perhaps, someday earn on his own to have his former life revealed to him.

In the future, I and Santorino will talk with you only through Astra, and only with the two of you. I will come to you in the future as well, except Astra has been assigned to you, for you have to guard yourselves against the servants of Satan, against whom Dagmara and Aurora are entirely helpless. In the future, Dagmara and Aurora will come only to you [[Mary]] and Lillian. That is because they are not subordinate to Ptolemy and might be deluded by Satan, for they do not know when and about what we talk with you.

Never ask other spirits about me, Santorino, or Omega. Omega is the Chief Spirit of the Future and of Death. You may ask other spirits about Alpha. This is in order not to give Satan the opportunity of hindering us, and of deceiving and ruining you.

None of the evil spirits can come [to you whenever] you summon Astra, because Astra always has to be wherever the two of you are.

For the time being, there is no other means of communication than the present one.

I have to alight. Be wise.

Alpha 12/19/43 1500

Astra, Astra, Astra. Aurora, Aurora, Aurora. Santorino, Santorino, Santorino. Alpha, Alpha, Alpha.

[[For Mary]]. Close your eyes for a moment, and follow me in spirit. Recall, you are standing on a stairway next to a large, white building. You are ten years old. Next to you stands your mother, and your father who is in the bright armor of a centurion. A large crowd of people, screaming and clamoring, walks along the street. A man walks in the middle of the crowd and carries a large, wooden cross.

You ask your father, Who are they, and what has He done?

Your father tells you, This is the horrible Hebrew nation, and that is its King or God.

The man stops and wipes off the sweat. He is thirsty.

You ask your mother, May I give Him some water?

Yes, replies your mother.

With a cup [of water] you hurry to the man with the cross. A bearded Hebrew knocks the cup from your hand, and the water is spilled on the sufferer’s face. He smiles at you with a smile [which makes you think that] the sun had shone on you. You [begin to] cry and run to your mother while crying. You hide your face in her robe. The crowd continues on its way.

They do not know what they are doing, your father says.

Your second ray. You are a young and happy wife. Next to you at the table, on a luxurious couch, reclines your handsome patrician – your husband. Through the hall, which is filled with noblemen, walks an elderly man in a purple garment with a laurel wreath on his head. An imposing lady walks next to him.

The man with the wreath on his head passes by the two of you, stops for a moment, smiles kindly, and tells your husband, Fortunate one!

The lady looks at you and at your husband and tells you, Fortunate one!

They continue on their way. You ask your husband, Who were they?

Your husband pats you lovingly on the shoulder and tells you, Little fool, that, after all, is our divine emperor Claudius with his wife Messalina.

Now to continue, the third one. You are lying down in your room and are tired. Next to your bed stands a stately, young man – your son. A young and beautiful slave girl sits at your feet.

You tell your son, Rome is burning already for the sixth day and night! What is Caesar Nero doing?

As usual, he is singing and playing, replies your son.

Doesn’t he feel the least bit sorry for the people?

He – Nero? your son says scornfully. I will go and continue to save the Romans.

He strokes your hair gently, smiles at you and at the slave girl, and departs – never to return again.

You notice how tenderly the slave girl follows him with her eyes, and you ask her, What is your name?

Mary, she replies.

Mary, a beautiful name, which I have heard before.

I, my lady, am a servant of Christ.

Christ? Wasn’t He the man who once, in the land of the Hebrews, carried a cross and died on it?

Yes, the very same one who carried the cross, but He has not died on it and will never die; for He is the Son of God.

To continue – the fourth and final one. You are sitting on a seat facing a large arena. In the arena, tied to posts, stand Christ’s martyrs. At one post you see the beautiful and naked body of Mary. A frightful bear is presently approaching her, with peculiar steps. You hear the terrible scream of your slave girl, and close your eyes. Then you hear the cheers of the crowd, Long live our emperor and great actor, the divine Nero!

You open your eyes and see in horror that the bear is standing next to Mary, who has fainted. The head of the bear, however, is hanging on its back, and in its stead you see the terrible face of Nero. Overcome by terror, you close your eyes again.

Then you hear a keen voice above you, Don’t you like our game?

You open your eyes and see in front of you the horrible face of Lucius Domitius Caesar Nero. No, Nero, you tell him boldly.

Would you rather like to smile down there among the animals, rather than here in my box?

Yes, you reply.

Then take her down to the animals in the arena, so that she might show us that she, too, knows how to laugh!

Among the animals I will smile, but here with you – Nero, you beast – I cannot!

You see that the faces of Caesar’s attendants stiffen in fright, and that the smile vanishes from Nero’s lips – the last smile that you saw on the face of the Earth.

Open your eyes, I conclude. In an hour Santorino will talk with you for a few minutes. Be wise and bright!

Astra 12/19/43

Do not ask the spirits anything today, for The Almighty has revealed His face.

[Continue to] wait, and comprehend the great honor for the people from Alpha and Santorino – unprecedented thus far. Let us remain piously silent today.

A. Aurora 12/25/43 1945

Ask me by noon tomorrow when Alpha will be able to tell Alexander his past. Alpha has a conversation with God tomorrow, and he is unable to tell the hour when he will talk with you.

Do you really need to know why I can spare the time for you?

I come only whenever I want to, and no one can summon and disturb me, unless I, myself, command him to do so.

Prepare yourselves for the conversation with Alpha. He has to carry out the promise in the near future. In ten days Alpha will be billions of billions of kilometers from your galaxy. The Almighty has assigned him the creation of new worlds. An old world perishes. It is located two thousand worlds away from the Earth. Man is incapable of grasping the number of worlds.

- * * * -

I am pleased that your conversation with Alpha concluded happily. All the time I followed anxiously the ray which radiated from Alpha’s temple to you. It changed its brightness four times and finally became so bright that all the spirits had to turn away. When I saw Santorino alight into Alpha’s temple, I understood that you had withstood the test of silence, and had been left on Earth. You might not have remained on Earth. Yet it is better not to know what might have happened to you.

Alpha leaves his temple only on a command from The Almighty.

The last ray was so very bright due to the martyr death, and the strength of your hearts.

Never dare to insult the high spirit by a lack of respect. Do not talk about us with unworthy people, and do not permit them into the room where the conversations take place.

The talk of the low spirits may be foolish. Be wise.

- * * * -

Astra 12/25/43

The highest Aurora will not speak any more. She has told you everything that she wanted to. - * * * - You can thank the highest spirits only by understanding them.

Alpha 12/26/43 1510

Astra, Astra, Astra. Aurora, Aurora, Aurora. Santorino, Santorino, Santorino. Alpha, Alpha, Alpha.

Listen, Alexander! Close your eyes for a moment and follow me in spirit.

Your homeland is a narrow strip of land between two oceans and two continents. Hundreds of years have passed. You are a small boy and are sitting at a desk in a hall of the palace. Outside the windows rise magnificent edifices – temples, pyramids. You are doing arithmetic. You know how to read many words already, and you already know the four symbols for numbers. You are, however, having difficulties with multiplying the rows, and you start to cry.

A noble, high priest enters the hall, and tells you, Don’t cry! You multiplied each row by twenty, but the third row, and only that one, should be multiplied by eighteen. As the next high priest and ruler of the noble Maya nation, you have infinitely much to learn, so that your nation will prosper and grow. You must not get tired! Now, let us walk over to the temples of the gods.

You pass through the endlessly large passageways and halls of the temples. There you see the already familiar signs, carved in stone, of the evil gods of night and death. You see the sign of the sun god – Kukulcan. You see the many symbols of the gods – winged snakes, statues of gods with scepters in their hands and headdresses adorned with feathers. You already recognize all of them. Then you reach the sign of the cross, and you say proudly, I recognize this one as well. It is the sign of the four parts of the world.

"Yes, but it is also the sign of the most important and invisible God – Gvuabku. Gvuabku will remain even then, when all other gods will lie in the dust. You will have to serve this God and will have to comprehend Him, something that no high priest has comprehended thus far.

Now we will end the [period of] instructions. Go and play in the garden again, until the time when the acacias begin to fold their leaves. It was good that you freed the hummingbird from the webs of the large spider today, but it was wrong that you released alive the hedge snake. It was good that this morning you placed the magnificent blossoms of the fire tree on your mother’s table, but it was wrong that you played with the ferocious and cunning tigercat.

Now your second [ray]. You have returned to your palace after the festival of the sacrifice of the first fruit. You are attired in the ceremonial garb of the high priest of the Mayan gods, and the headdress of the ruler adorns your head. The cheers of the crowd still echo in your ears, and you can still smell the incense. You can still see the rows of priests bowed before you, and can see with what respect they follow the movement of your lips. You know just how happy you have made the industrious and noble Maya nation. You have given it heretofore unprecedented knowledge and prosperity. You have saved from disaster, during periods of drought, the remote regions of the land. Being tired, you sit down.

There is a knock at the door. A messenger enters. He is covered with dust and blood.

Ruler, disaster and calamity! A savage nation is attacking your northern regions from the north, and there is destruction and murder. What should we do, high ruler?

You are crushed. You dismiss the messenger and proceed to the temple.

You pass by the gods of the night without stopping. You halt your steps by the sun god – Kukulcan – and ask for advice, but the bearded god, clad in bright clothing, remains silent. All the other gods remain silent as well. You drop to your knees in front of the invisible God Gvuabku’s sign of the cross and ask Him for advice and for help. He, too, remains silent.

Then, however, you hear the voice of the sacred bird Quetzal. You get up and walk over to the window. The star of destiny shines in the sky, the evening and morning star – Aurora. The sacred bird Quetzal screams for the second time. You drop to your knees by the window. The call of the sacred bird Quetzal comes for the third time, and then comes the voice of the star of the evening and of destiny, What do you want from The Invisible One?

You ask that the destiny of your nation be revealed to you, and you hear, A militant nation of savages comes from the north. You and the Maya nation have to abandon this land, temples, and cities, and have to seek a new homeland. The savages will take over your land, will reduce to rubble the temples of the gods, and in their stead will build gigantic temples to their gods. They will build huge cities again. Then from the sea will come a foreign and bearded nation, armed not with weapons of stone, but with metal swords and weapons of fire arrows, unknown to you. Then the Aztec nation, its temples, and culture will perish as well.

You ask, Isn’t it possible to somehow resist the invasion of the savages?

No! comes the reply. Your nation is not used to bearing arms and fighting!

I will teach it, you say.

To no avail, for that is the will of The Invisible One.

Then I will fight against it, but I will protect my nation and these temples; for I do not understand how such a high culture can be permitted to disappear from the Earth. I will fight or die here, in my country!

Then you will die here. Your nation will leave, the temples will crumble, and the gods will die. The anger of The Invisible One will punish you. Contrary to the previous decision, you will have to live on this Earth once again, and will have to suffer greatly in a lower degree!

All right, I will nevertheless fight! you reply, and clouds cover the evening star.

The third and final [ray]. You are standing on a projection of the temple. Smoke covers the sky. Noise from the battle can be heard. Hordes of savages stream into the city from the north. Your people, led by the new high priest, depart toward the west. Your last guards fight in the entrance of the temple. The sign of the cross appears in the clouds. You bow down your head and say, The Invisible One, what are You doing? How can we, people, understand You? How can we fight against You?

Then you give the signal to your guards. An extremely loud noise resounds, the massive stone blocks of the temple crumble, and bury beneath them the high priest and ruler of the land of Maya.

Open your eyes! I conclude. Be bright! [[1722]]

A. Aurora 12/26/43

I congratulate you with the victory over human weakness. This time you had a heavy burden. Alpha is bright – satisfied. He is only concerned regarding the idea about how he will be able to portray the fate of John to you, in a form which you will be able to understand. John’s fate will be revealed next Sunday at three o’clock.

[[Concerning Alexander U.]] He wanted to save his nation and did not carry out The Almighty’s command, therefore he was punished. It was not a punishment as people understand it, except he was too happy. In order to be able to grow and develop, it is necessary for the spirits to suffer as well. Not all suffering raises us higher, only that which is destined by The Almighty – The Invisible One. The Almighty is the very same Invisible One. Suffering always has to follow happiness. On Earth, Alexander has not lived with the Maya nation again, but he has lived in the Deoss Temple.

I am an original spirit, created by The Almighty. Santorino is also an original spirit. Human beings, too, can achieve a degree as we have, and even a higher one, which is the degree of divinity. That is Paradise.

What has been said previously about humanity’s catastrophe refers to after this war, which brings a catastrophe. This catastrophe refers to your Earth, with which The Almighty is no longer satisfied.

CHAPTER II

January 1944

Alpha, A. Aurora (2), Alotria, Astra (2), Santorino (2), Omega, Ali (2)

Alpha 01/02/44 1500

Astra, Astra, Astra. Aurora, Aurora, Aurora. Santorino, Santorino, Santorino. Alpha, Alpha, Alpha.

Listen, John! You lived on Earth during the era of the cave people. You were the head and leader of a tribe living in a large cave. You were the region’s best hunter. The largest heaps of horse, urus, mammoth, and other animal bones were next to your cave. Your heart, however, was captivated by the beauty of the wife of the neighboring tribe’s leader. You began a fight with the leader and crushed his skull with a club. You united both tribes and decided to arrange an unprecedentedly magnificent wedding.

You – the famous destroyer of mammoths – built a large trap. All of you hid and waited for a long time. Then the breaking of bushes was heard, and the brownish frame of the giant appeared in the bushes. The mammoth browsed on grass and buds of the trees, and slowly approached the trap.

It has a layer of fat beneath its hide at least as thick as the length of my middle finger, you told your new wife, and you will receive this giant as a wedding present from me.

You gave the signal to the hunters, and they began the chase. The animal fell into the trap, but was too big for it. All of you attacked it with axes and spears. You bravely walked up to the giant and stabbed it in the heart. Your spear broke, your foot slipped, and you fell. You wanted to get up, but got tangled up in roots and in the wool of the mammoth. The last thing that you saw on the planet Earth was the pale face of your wife.

Then the huge mountain [of a mammoth] lay down on top of you and everything disappeared. Your wife arranged a splendid funeral for you and buried you in the cave. You met her once more on this Earth. She summoned you in your current life, but you did not answer her and passed her by.

The second [ray]. I will now take you to the place in the universe where you lived most recently, because life on Earth back then could not give you anything yet.

Close your eyes for a moment and follow me in spirit. The constellation Perseus, the star Algol, and the planet Sisesia.

You are standing by the window of your place of work. You are in charge of the planet’s central plant for [the conversion of] the rays of the sun, the energy of the ocean waves, and the heat from the planet’s center – you are master engineer Kivikio. I will attempt to depict, in a form that you can somewhat understand, the sounds, names, and the appearance of the people on that planet of Algol. Don’t be surprised, and understand as much as you are able to. The people there appeared vaguely similar to a man on Earth, a bird, and an elephant. They had wings.

You are looking out the window and are thinking, This huge central plant has been entrusted to me. The fate of the planet depends on its uninterrupted functioning. Thanks to it, constant light and heat radiate on the planet – winter and summer, day and night.

Your second assistant, chief engineer Vikivio, sits at a desk. Then you hear the beep from your belt radio station. You listen. You hear the voice of your fiancée, Lalilau, Have you forgotten what day it is today?

You suddenly remember Lalilau’s wing day. You are ashamed and sad that you had forgotten about it.

I await you immediately, the voice says. You promise her and turn off the station.

Then you suddenly remember that you have let your first assistant – chief engineer Likilio – go on vacation. However, the one hundred sixth order of lead engineer Pipipio states that there always have to be two chief engineers present in the central plant. What can you do? You decide to take a chance, and you discuss this with Vikivio. He agrees sadly, and inhales the aroma of the intoxicating flower – milimia.

You know that he is also in love with Lalilau, and you tell him, Dear friend, you know that this is her own free will and choice, and no one can any longer do anything about it.

No one can any longer do anything about it, Vikivio repeats sadly, and again inhales the fragrance of the intoxicating flower. You remind him how dangerous that is, and then fly away.

Your fiancée awaits you happily, and you go for a walk in the extensive gardens. You reach the zoo soon, where the former inhabitants of the planet can be seen in cages – predatory beasts – animals that have long since been eliminated from the planet. You stand in front of a cage now in which grieve the last representatives of the Nilaniu nation.

Lalilau has a strange nature – she feels sorry for everything. Why did you destroy these industrious people, who built for us palaces, plants, cities inside the planet, and machinery that works perpetually?

You reply, We did not need them any longer, and they attempted to rebel once we confined them to the underground cities. They even tried to rebel after they had been blinded. Then we destroyed them.

But how come that you did not feel sorry for them? Lalilau asks.

Sorry? But, after all, we no longer had any need for them, you answer while not understanding her.

You head homeward. She treats you to your people’s only food, fruit, and only drink, the juice of fruits and flowers. Then you fly to the walkway of the melodious trees. Hours pass there in love and happiness.

Then you suddenly feel that the light begins to dim, and it turns chilly. You realize in horror – an accident at the central plant! You have to hurry just as fast as possible so that the planet, the planet’s people, and Lalilau would not perish. You fly above the walkway. It turns dark, and snow flakes begin to fall. Huge butterflies fall to the ground, like large, wilted flowers. Where can Lalilau be sheltered? The houses are without windows and doors, they do not protect one from the cold. You want to call the plant, but in the rush you have lost your [radio]. You hurry to the entrance of the underground city, but it has already been closed, and you have foolishly left the key to it at home. You are desperate.

The wings of your fiancée begin to tire already, and she falls. You catch her in time, though. Your strength, however, is not infinite either. A blizzard begins to churn. Then you remember the valley of the hot geysers – the only hope. Fortunately it can still be reached, and you reach it. You set Lalilau down on the grass at the edge of the geysers and hurry on to the central plant.

It is completely dark already, and a snow storm howls. With your last strength you reach the plant. Your assistant lies there [asleep] next to the intoxicating flower. He is already stiff. The machinery is silent. With rigid fingers you grab the handles of the machinery. The machinery begins to function. The darkness starts to dissipate slowly. Light and heat flow [once again].

The people of the planet have been saved. The plant functions. Your first assistant returns. You turn the plant over to him and hasten to Lalilau.

You already see her. She raises her wings toward you. You hurry and forget about everything. You even forget that you are flying so low above the valley of the geysers.

The hiss of water can be heard. Streams of boiling water shoot up into the air and engulf you in steam – death. While falling, you still hear Lalilau’s voice, full of despair, and then you no longer hear or see anything.

You parted from Lalilau there, and met her here.

I conclude. Be eternally bright. [[1736]]

A. Aurora 01/02/44

- * * * - I cannot tell you whether Lalilau was Mary, for life on the planets in the constellation Perseus is outside the sphere of my light.

- * * * -

Only Omega knows where the spirits are sent subsequent to the Lunar Fields. Very different things happen to the spirits who come from the Lunar Fields. That depends on their different lives on Earth and elsewhere. The Lunar Fields are large.

[[We ask, Does one who succumbs to the power of Satan end up in nonexistence?]]

Not always.

- * * * -

Faith helps one to attain the Solar Fields, but, most of all, it takes a good heart. In order to achieve a higher degree, one must unleash oneself from the Earth. That means one has to live only with one’s spirit and heart. You have to understand that on your own.

Alexander U. does not have a guardian spirit who looks after him. He is within the radiance of Astra, and within my luminousness. Those spirits who come from the Deoss Temple no longer need [guardian] spirits. They have to struggle with God and Satan on their own, in order to draw closer to The Almighty. This means that they have to struggle with themselves.

The difference between the Deoss Temple and the Solar Fields is like that between the sun and a candle.

- * * * -

Alotria 01/05/44

- * * * - I am talking to you, listen! It is immaterial whether an Arab kneels before the sacred Kaaba, or the statue of Buddha, or the cross of Christ, for he is praying to The Creator and the ruler of his destiny – he is praying to The Almighty – who is within all the Gods. I conclude.

A. Aurora 01/05/44

Our Father who art in Heaven… is the only prayer that God has given to the people, and is the only one to which He listens. This is because everything that an individual needs to pray for, and that he is allowed to pray for, is expressed in this prayer. Whenever I tell you to pray to God, I mean Our Father who art in Heaven…, and a prayer of the soul will follow it.

Do not ask about the future. It is ludicrous to ask about the future. You ask the spirits to reveal your future to you, but fail to realize to what absurdity this would lead, if the spirits were to tell the people their future.

First of all, what would happen if an individual were to be told everything that will happen to him? Think about that for yourselves! A person has been told that on the sixth of January, while riding in a streetcar, he will be killed on the street. Obviously, he will not ride the streetcar on that day, and the prophecy will be a lie. Or else, we, the spirits, will have to drag him by the collar into the streetcar.

To continue, if he were to know all his future days, he would feel like a prisoner, whose every day and hour is regulated by schedules. If the individual were to know his life ahead of time, would it any longer be of any interest to him? If he were to know the day of his death, his final years would then be very dreadful, and would he feel like doing anything?

Let’s say that I were to tell you that Riga will be destroyed in March, and that some of you will be shot, and you were to know that this will occur irrevocably and definitely. Just how grateful would you be to me, and what superfluous and ghastly suffering would this knowledge bring you? Besides that, this [knowledge] would limit your free spirit. Therefore the spirits generally remain silent about the future. Do not bother them in vain, by forcing them to violate God’s will.

Santorino will speak on Sunday at three o’clock. The very greatest evaluation and surprise await you. There have to be white letters on black paper. Only the table may be illuminated and the paper on which a third person is writing. The room has to be without any furniture and locked. Three chairs
