Contemplation of the New Genesis

The re-creation of the world is a staggering New Genesis, which integrates

the past, the present and the future in the life of humankind. It contains

the essence of the great spiritual teachings from the past, keys to the

present apocalyptic change of the world and the living seeds for the coming

New Reality.

Thanks be to God, I was blessed to contemplate the New Genesis. I was

able to appreciate the spiritual fruits from the outgoing Indo-European

Cycle, to contemplate the New Coming of the Divine Masters and

Personifications of the Divine Feminine and to co-create with them for the

coming reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.

The fundamental archetypes in the last Chapters of the Book of Revelation

characterise the coming new reality in the life of humankind. When we

activate them as vast dynamic fields for spiritual work, we participate

actively in the New Genesis. Naturally these fundamental archetypes could

be easily "translated" into the metaphysical language of all other world

religions. This is why we have such unity in diversity and diversity in unity

in the spiritual history of humankind: all world religions glorify the One

God, "Who was, Who is and Who is to come", and each religion does this

differently. By activating these archetypes we are participating in the

fulfilment of the prophecies in all world religions.

Metaphysically the New Genesis takes place now, in the actual, dynamic,

creative present, moving towards the future of God's activity. According to

Genesis, the opening book of the Bible, human beings appear on the sixth

day after the Heaven and the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and all

plant and animal life on Earth were created - this is to say, the Divine

Genesis had already actually happened and was in the past in relation to

the creation of the human being. Now, in the New Genesis, we are invited

by God to witness the Genesis of the New Heaven and the New Earth, and

not only to witness, but to collaborate and co-create with God.

From now on entry into the new dynamic universe and Co-Creation with

God has to be our main task in life. This is the deep mystical essence of

our time. All our spiritual activities have to be planned and organised in

line with this inspiring and challenging task. If we live up to this task, we

could go forward gloriously into the New Cycle of Existence in great

appreciation and gratitude for the efforts of all previous generations of

humankind. Now, in relation to the Mayan Prophecy of 2012, the light of

the Cosmic-spiritual Sun at the centre of our galaxy is the energy for the

New Cycle of 25,625 years in the evolution of humankind. We could

appreciate this light as the Light of a New Genesis, as a beginning of a new

cycle of evolution for humankind. This is why the Cosmic Cycle in the

Mayan Calendar, after 2012, is left blank! In it we have to participate

actively in the New Genesis and to co-create with God!

The mystery of the New Genesis will bring us into the emerging New World

and will put us in a different position in relation to Creation - at the very

heart of God's creativity, in the Divine demiurgic present. This shift from

the static, crystallized, well-established Universe to a dynamic Universe in

constant re-creation is a staggering phenomenon which will dramatically

change the conceptions and the approach to God in the existing world

religions.

Moreover, the actual participation in the New Genesis will transform the

relationship of humankind with the Earth and all Kingdoms of life on it.

According to Genesis which opens the Old Testament and gives the

account of the First Covenant, when God created human beings, 'He put

them in command of all living creatures on Earth' (Genesis 1: 28). After the

Flood, He even told Noah that 'all the animals, birds and fish will live in

fear of you’ (Genesis 9:2). Now, however, in the New Genesis, human beings

are invited to become collaborators and co-creators with God and as such

will become friends, helpers and caretakers of the Kingdoms of life on

Earth.

In the new epoch, the Divine task of humankind is to transform the Earth

into a Garden of Paradise and to bring the mineral, plant and animal

kingdoms to a new level of evolution. In fulfilling this Divine task,

humankind will establish a completely different type of relationship with

the Earth and Nature and will become a major factor in their future

evolution. Only by establishing this new type of relationship will

humankind accomplish its ultimate Divine function of mediating between

God and the Earth with all kingdoms of life on it, as was envisaged from

the beginning of time when God created human beings in 'His own image'.

Divine mediatorship will be at the foundation of human life on Earth as

one of the most important and inspiring goals.

Participation in the New Genesis, i.e. the activation of the celestial

archetypes in the Book of Revelation and other Prophetic Books of the

world religions, requires a new spiritual paradigm in the life of humankind.

It is based on meeting the Second Coming, gathering the fruits from the

outgoing Indo-European Cycle, participating in the Divine Wedding which

gives birth to the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth and Co-

Creation with God.

Group Meditation on the New Genesis

The third part of each chapter describes some group experiences of the

essence of the theme. The group experiences show how the spiritual ideas

could be appreciated and put into practice by other people. This opens the

way for all who are interested to have similar activities in the near future.

Our international Summer Assemblies on the sacred mountain Rila in

Bulgaria played a very important role in witnessing the New Genesis and

activating the new spiritual paradigm. Through prayer and meditation, we

linked with Divine Masters and Personifications of the Divine Feminine

and contemplated their New Coming on the ethereal level. Thus our twelve

International Summer Assemblies set the pattern of meeting the Second

Comings, a pattern which could be replicated in many other countries.

Each of these events was an inspiring spiritual experience. Below I will

mention only a few of them, but obviously they could become the basis of

extensive spiritual programmes.

The New Genesis is at the foundation of meeting the New Coming of the

Divine Masters and the Personifications of the Divine Feminine on the

ethereal level. Below I will give an example of the contemplation of the New

Genesis from our Rila Assembly in 2009.

On July 10, 2009, the Sunrise Ceremony was consecrated to the New

Genesis. This was one of the most mystical prayer-meditations in the Rila

Assembly. I invited the participants to contemplate in the Rising Sun the

Light of the Cosmic-Spiritual Sun of the Universe and to try to enter into

the new creative act of God, making all things new (Revelation 21:5).

The creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth is the greatest

cosmogonic event in the life of humankind. In essence, the creative act of

God, Who makes all things new, includes the activation of the Divine

Masters and the Manifestations of the Divine Feminine, the realisation of

the Divine Wedding between the Feminine and Masculine cosmic energies,

and the formation of the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth. In

this reality the enlightened humankind will begin a great new cycle of

evolution.

The sacred aim of the guided prayer-meditation was to receive the

illumination of the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth,

emanating from God in our time. For this purpose, we envisioned the

creative act of God in the form of a new Mandala (a symbolic image of the

Universe). In essence, this Mandala-meditation was connected with the

coming new Buddha, Maitreya, who will reveal the new cosmic order.

From the spiritual history we know the inspiring legend about the creation

of the existing Buddhist Mandala. According to it the primordial Buddha

began to radiate from the centre of the Universe and formed the four

universal directions. At each one of them He placed one or another Dhyani-

Buddha to sustain the Buddhist cosmos. Following this archetype I

directed the participants in the meditation to imagine how from the

Absolute Origin of Being the primordial Spirit (He is Metatron for

Kabbalists, the primordial Buddha for the Buddhists, the First Born Christ

for the Christians, Imam Mahdi as the Axis Mundi for Muslims, etc.) begins

to radiate in order to form the New Creation.

In this meditation I outlined some of the mystical aspects of the New

Genesis. From the Throne of God, manifesting the creative impulse from

God, the eternal Christ – the first born from God, the active masculine

creative principle of Being – proclaims the will of God to change the world

and illumines the New Creation. His first act is to constitute the

mythological space (the four universal directions) and the mythological

time (the twelve signs of the cosmic-spiritual Zodiac) of the Heavenly

Jerusalem. He then transmits the new creative impulse to all Divine

Masters, saints and prophets at the Gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem and

activates the new Mandala of the Holy City.

Because the mystery of the Second Coming is associated with the return

of humankind to the Father’s House, the Holy Spirit opens the last Gate

of the Heavenly Jerusalem, leading to the New Reality. With this act the

entire Indo-European cycle in human evolution is completed. Thus the

Kingdom of God, where there are many mansions, is prepared and

humankind is called to ascend and start its New Cycle of Existence. There

humankind will live forever co-creating with Christ, the Divine Masters

and the Personifications of the Divine Feminine.

After finishing His Divine work of preparing the Holy City, the Spirit comes

down through the whole vertical structure of the Universe. His Divine task

is to rejuvenate, transform and illuminate all celestial realms in

accordance with the new creative impulse from God. He raises the

vibrations of the whole spiritual Universe and brings it into a new level of

existence. Finally, He reaches the etheric layer of our world and appears

in the images of Divine Masters ready to bring people from all corners of

the Earth to the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.

In creating the New Reality God inaugurates a colossal multi-dimensional

mythological cosmic-spiritual Cross, forming the archetypal structure of

the New Creation. The vertical axis of this mythological cross is the vertical

structure of the Universe (the Middle Pillar, the axis of the various planes

of all supramundane worlds); it is a column of Light which radiates creative

impulses into all spiritual worlds. The horizontal axis of this mythological

Cross is the celestial Zodiac-Mandala with all mansions in the Holy City.

(Actually, the horizontal axis itself is the gigantic horizontal circle of the

Heavenly Jerusalem with the system of co-ordinates – the world directions

– which form a gigantic horizontal cross themselves.) Above the horizontal

axis is the Throne of God, the Absolute Origin of Being, from where the

Divine Spirit and the Universal Feminine emanate with the new creative

impulse.

To reveal this colossal metaphysical picture, I led a Mandala Meditation for

the mystical link with the Primordial Christ at the Centre of the Universe,

with the coming of the New Buddha – Maitreya and the activation of the

New Comings of Lord Krishna, Zoroaster, Imam Mahdi and the Master

Beinsa Douno. Through the hymn AUM, through sacred mantras and

formulas we linked with the apocalyptic light of the Cosmic Christ and the

New Manifestations of the Divine Masters. This was the way to merge with

the Lord God, Who makes all things new and re-creates the world.

At the core of the New Genesis are all deeds written in the Book of the

Living, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, all the seeds of what will

unfold in the New Reality. Let us recall here the legend of Gautama

Buddha: when he received his Enlightenment, he was able to see

everything that existed in the past, exists in the present and will exist in

the future. From this point of view the purpose of the contemplation of the

new impulse coming from the Lord is to integrate the past, the present and

the future in the spiritual history of humankind and to experience the

essence of the New Reality that is coming. Of course, this is an ultimate

state of consciousness, but even the small insights which we could receive

will give abundant fruit in the future. The most important thing is to enter

into the creative moment of the New Genesis, which contains an

inexhaustible richness of living impulses for unfolding.

To a great extent we entered! It is difficult to describe in words the

apocalyptic power of the New Genesis! It integrates the whole three-fold

metaphysical vertical structure of Creation and the metahistorical time –

past, present and future – into a great spiritual wholeness. It contains

powerful impulses for the re-creation of the world in line with the vision of

St. John from the Book of Revelation (4:5): From the throne came flashes

of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were

burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God.

The participants in this prayer-meditation on Rila had different spiritual

experiences and insights, but the general feeling was that we touched the

New Reality. Here it is interesting to note that during the meditation, one

of the participants very clearly saw the image of Quetzalcoatl (a Deity in

the Mayan Pantheon), although I did not mention him. This shows that

there was a real spiritual presence, and we were somehow involved in

events in the higher Divine world!
