The New Heaven


The "sky" above this sacred earth is the Lord God Himself, the Ultimate Truth, which shine as an eternal cosmic-spiritual Sun and never sets. In it we could see the images of all our beloved Masters and manifestations of the Divine Feminine in celestial transfigured bodies shining in great glory, love and power.  Their radiation will contain all colours of the Divine Rainbow and will reveal the beauty of the Highest Divine World – the result of their common inspired co-creative work with God.


This is why after the apocalyptic events of Resurrection and Judgment St. John sees the New Heaven and the New Earth, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared and ready, like a bride dressed to meet her husband. (Revelation 21: 1-2)


A mystical key to the Reality of the New Heaven we could find in the same legendary Shurangama Sutra. Expecting the coming of the Enlightened One, Maitreya-Buddha, Tomo Géshé Rimpoche had a staggering vision:


The Blessed Lord, sitting upon the throne in the midst of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from all the ten quarters of the universe, manifested his transcendental glory, surpassing them all.  From his hands and feet and body radiated supernal beams of light that rested upon the crown of each Buddha and Bodhisattva assembled here.

And equally from the hands and feet and bodies of all those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten quarters of the universe went forth rays of glorious brightness that converged upon the crown of the Lord Buddha, and upon the crowns of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and Saints present. (Lama Anagarika Govinda, The Way of the White Clouds, Rider & Co. Ltd., London, 1984, p. 10.)


This is the amazingly majestic Buddhist Mandala, which reveals the mystery of Creation from the Buddhist point of view.  Now in the light of the new Creative Act from the Lord, we could imagine the One Who sits on the Throne, the cosmic-spiritual Sun of the universe, radiating with transcendental glory. From the twelve mythological directions, i.e. the Temples in the Heavenly Jerusalem, the Divine Masters of humankind – Krishna, Hermes, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Lao Tze, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, the Master Beinsa Douno and others – shine with great Divine light that merges with the crown of the One Who sits on the throne. The celestial images of the Divine Masters appearing at the twelve gates of the Holy City are emanations from the cosmic-spiritual Sun at the centre of the Universe, from the One Who sits on the Throne. At the same time each one of them reflects the light of all the others in accordance with his own image and spiritual essence. This leads to an illumination about the glorious appearance of all the Divine Masters simultaneously from the Centre of the New Jerusalem. Radiating from the Divine Centre of Creation as images of the Living God, they reflect the essence of each other, keeping however their own unique identity.


The Divine Masters, together with their Feminine counterparts, are surrounded by the souls of many enlightened followers – the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, the Prophets in Judaism, the Apostles and Saints in Christianity, the Gnostics in Islam. The Light emanating from the Divine Masters opens widely the gates of initiation into the ultimate reality.


So, the New Heaven is the integral light of all the Divine Masters, all personifications of the Divine Feminine and all initiates, connected with them, which radiates from the "One, Who sits on the Throne" as from a colossal cosmic-spiritual Sun, enlightening the New Reality.  In a similar way as the Sun is at the base of all life on Earth, thus the Light, Love, Wisdom and Truth of this cosmic-spiritual Sun is at the base of the co-creative life of the enlightened humankind:


The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign forever and ever. (Revelation 22: 3-5)


If we imagine the New Heaven, the New Earth and the New humankind as emanating from "the One who sits on the Throne and makes all things new", then in sacred feelings, appreciation and trembling we could contemplate the Divine Tree of Life revealing the majestic Truth about God, Creation and the human being.  The roots of this tree will be in the Highest Divine World, the Absolute Origin of Being, the trunk will go through the whole vertical structure of Creation, and the crown will blossom in the earthly physical world testifying to the Divinity of everything which has been created!


Of course, the Tree of Life with roots on Earth and crown in the Highest Divine World and the Tree of Life with roots in the Highest Divine World and crown on Earth are only two different "points of view” (earthly and celestial) of the great Tree of Life – revealing the absolute truth about God, Creation and the human being.  The essence is one and the same – it is the Lord God Almighty Who was, Who is and Who is to come!


The ultimate experience of this great Divine Truth

is the Testament of Truth!

 

Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honour, and power. For you created all things, and by your will they were given existence and life. (Revelation 4:11)
