Look for the wisdom of a new generation as for happiness. --
Plato
- Each
country has the right to its independence. Each nation existing due to
internal exchange finds its independence. Otherwise, seen or invisible
supremacy of foreign capital will enslave any country, will deprive its
people of self-affirmation and will transform the country into a pitiful
contemplator of others’ achievements.
- Each
teacher and doctor has the right to the state’s funding and protection.
Ignorance, poverty and illness are companions of the countries where the
teacher and the doctor are left on their own. The hungry doctor cannot
cure, and the depressed teacher cannot create evolution; for the doctor,
out of necessity, becomes a criminal and the teacher, concerned with
thoughts of daily bread cannot be engaged in constant cognition. A life
without a teacher is dim; a life without a doctor is suffering; a life
without a hero is dead. It is necessary to indefatigably remind people
about the importance of the teacher, the doctor and the hero for these
concepts are equal and conducive to prosperity. They help to transfer the
weights of life and are a source of courage for all. It is not difficult
to see that the teacher and the doctor are one in essence. There is a
clear and ancient statement from Fire Yoga: "The teacher is the best hero.
His
arms do not rust, do not wear out. The army can take to flight, but the
teacher will not recede. We shall give him laurels of the hero!” Truly
people prosper whose teacher and doctor are protected with the care of the
states because they define the coming into being and the development in
each country.
- Each
person has the sacred right of the independent development of his/her
consciousness on the basis of science, art, education, philosophy, and
theosophy, and with the protection against any encroachment on it from the
part of secret services, mass media, and any sort of institution of the
public opinion which spreads outlooks, tastes, morals, political views,
and orientations of youth that are convenient for them, by possessing a
monopoly over not only political authority and the mass media, but also
over the truth itself.
The only criteria of freedom of the
consciousness of people are: its science, culture, art, education, moral
principles, and level of material well-being.
The right of independent
development of consciousness is that unique right which raises hopes in our
breast that each individual will receive knowledge and power, and will rise above the puppet condition in
which he is subject to the influence of another’s egos, low spirits, passing
imaginations of time, apostles of darkness and any sort of historical and
modern tyrants. Break off your chains and refuse to be the creation of another.
Choose this way leading you into freedom; it is possible through the possession
of the sacred right of independent development of one’s own consciousness.
- Each
person has an inalienable right to love their native land. There is a
reason for a person to be born in a certain country and belong to a certain
people. Only a person who
piously loves his/her country and by his/her deeds glorifies his/her
people will be able to serve humanity. It is a sacred right of each person
to protect his/her native land against any encroachment – territorial,
ideological, and material.
- Each
person possesses freedom of Will. It is a great freedom belonging to a
person: the free Will to create Goodness. Freedom of Will without the
afterthought to create Goodness is transformed by some people into a
disgusting monster: the right to manufacture weapons, the right to
revenge, the right to the organization and existence of organized crime,
the right to a life free from morals. So, the bright gift of Freedom of
Will to create goodness was imperceptibly transformed into madness. Free
will is given to each person to become the lords of the world. Therefore,
God does not interfere and change the existence of injustice and misfortune
until He is called by a person of free will who accepts that God has the
reins of Authority and directs his life. Jesus carried out this transfer
of Authority from personal to divine when he said, "Father – not my will,
but Your will be done.” (Matt.
26:39, Mark 14:36,
Luke 22:42) Thus, the right of Free Will of each person can be defined
as a conscious transfer of actions to God, not the Ego. Choosing to live
in human consciousness with one’s Ego, forcing one to drag oneself through
a pitiful earthly existence, a person separates him/herself from the
Divine source of Wisdom and Love Power until he/she goes through
deprivations and emptiness; concentrating on oneself, a person does not
realize the greatness of the unique right of Will - the Will of God, the
Freedom of Will to Create Goodness. Let every person return him/herself to
the sacred right of freedom of Will to create Goodness!
- Knowledge
is an inalienable right of each person because only knowledge is the basis
of eternal and everlasting happiness; cognition is not limited in its
possibilities. We shall not think that the way of cognition is easy, but
without it, it is impossible to become the anointed sovereign of the Sky –
the Perfect person. Many obstacles will be met on the road to knowledge,
the road to perfection, and overcoming them will become a criterion of
growth, a source of happiness.
The value of the human right to
obtain knowledge is incomparable, because knowledge is power.
- Each
person has the right to cut off and declare war on all nocuous influences
of the past. It is necessary to understand that even the smallest past
insult can turn into intolerable oppression, so imagine how massive the
fetters of centuries-old offenses can become. These chains of the past
deaden each aspiration forward, to the future, becoming an insurmountable
barrier on the way to both personal and universal evolution.
It is enough to cling to ambitious
fragments of history and personal relations in the name of the development of
new relations of states, societies and separate persons and evolution as a
whole. The person realizing the given right to cut off the bad influences of
the past becomes like the Greek god Atlantis on whose shoulders all the burden
of the world lays. May the victory over the past open the gates of the future!
- Each
person has the right to Honesty.
The governments, in an effort to
keep people’s poverty of thought, promote commonness as a success, and in so
doing bury individual talents. It is
necessary to warn people of the approach of an epoch of the New Right – the
rights of a new life full of consciousness, heroism, creativity and the highest
harmony of cooperation of peoples. When will countries stop being divided based
on levels of advancement; when will more developed countries stop taking
advantage of less-developed countries against all democratic norms; when will
the interests of ‘elite’ people stop being the first priority; because Earth,
Sky, and Air cannot be divided as personal belongings. The catastrophe of Chernobyl is more than
enough of an example. It is necessary to realize that we have lost the right of Honesty under the pressure of
conventions menacing not only to our reputation or a material well-being, but
also menacing to our life. Speaking about the right to Honesty, we do not mean people
who cannot speak the truth even at the risk of their lives. We speak about the
right to Honesty even at the risk of one’s life and we specify a way of the
perfect truth, when a person speaks the truth without worrying about personal
advantages. So, the Right to Honesty means the Truth not as a conditional
abstractness, but a realized necessity.
- The
most difficult right each person has is to consciously decide, if they are
in agony and there is absolutely no other choice, to end their life! This
is the right of Death. It is necessary to reconsider all reasons
concerning Death. If a person doesn’t think about suicide and lives a full
life in which work is normal and self-sacrifice is the quality of his/her
character, then to die doesn’t mean to betray one’s neighbor and it is not
necessary to detain the Spirit from new incarnation. To economize energy
is a basis of the Universe, so let a dying person die and be born again to
a new life with a new genetically enhanced body, new relatives and new
social opportunities. It is absolutely necessary that the Doctor perform
an autopsy. The foundation of the right of Death is the knowledge that the
Spirit is eternal!
- Each
person has the right of Pleasure – the most difficult right to obtain. This
right radically overturns all our earthly understandings about pleasure,
for true Pleasure is to:
- Receive
persecution, but not seek recognition;
- Serve
without expecting a position of authority;
- Act
unselfishly without desiring material wealth or payment;
- Sow but
not reap a harvest.
To act on the former of each of
these four points (receive persecution, serve and act unselfishly and plant
good seeds) will help end your past and bring liberation but to expect the
latter of the four points (recognition, authority, payment and a harvest) will
create new bonds leading to a pitiful earthly existence. The former of each of
the points are achievements of the Soul while the latter parts are fetters for
the Soul. For who goes to work joyfully; the one who stands and sows, but not
the one who bends down to reap. The one who sows widely scatters grain with the
right hand; the wind carries away grains, but he sings, because the field is
not empty for him and he leaves only after having sated the arable land with
grain. It is indifferent to the sewer, what reaper will reap the harvest of new
grains. True pleasure is the weight of peace, while to strive for the rest
(recognition, authority, power, payment, etc) is not a part of evolution but
will only supply oneself, in the end only accomplishing becoming fertilizer for
others. So, let us remember, that to live the way of true Pleasure is to
possess special Wisdom!
- Each
person has the right to glorify national Heroes. A nation’s rise or
decline in development can be judged by how the people of that nation
treat their Heroes. People who dream of the Hero will increase in
development, but the concept of the Hero will be burdensome and
unnecessary to a declining nation. Even if these people bathe in gold,
even if these people are full of elite arrogance and self-importance, they
are not able to accomplish great achievements; the burning desire for
great achievements has left their minds. It is not said without reason in
Oriental wisdom: "people who allow their Heroes to be thrown down to roll
in the mud are defeated.” A people who have forgotten their heroes are
truly dead; and the governments which ceased to create heroes or hold them
in a shadow of oblivion – are criminal. Up until this time the Caucasian
race, a race of intellect, has been the leading race; now is the time of a
changing of races, when a more spiritually-centered race will rise to the
forefront. At this time, who, if not the governments, should care about
the maintenance of the heroic spirit of people? Without the maintenance of
heroic spirit the history of a country is empty. Each people are
indefinitely rich with Heroes, and in times of crises, when all others are
afraid, they arise with fearlessness. Heroes rise in times of the most
terrible necessity with the flare of love and self-sacrifice. So we should
not repudiate the sacred right to esteem and glorify our Heroes.
- According
to evolution, each person has the right to strive for excellence
originating from our Hearts. This striving for excellence cannot be
changed. Whether alone with ourselves or before crowds, we should remember
this inalienable right. Only those blind to the future cannot see the
direction of evolution. The door of knowledge is easier to find when the
path to it is clearly defined. Aspirations cannot be recognized as an
unprecedented feat! Aspirations should be as normal as wearing clothes and
eating food. Then the walls of
ignorance will become transparent. Then the seal of the secret letter of a
person’s aspirations will dissolve. The easiest way to go is to use the
right of aspiration. The Heart knows that this Way is true. Nobody should
specify another Way now. Let’s practice the right of aspiration, the
natural right of evolution.
- Each
person has the right to possess property according to the new world concepts. First of all it is necessary to
declare resolutely that we are living in the new world and so it is a
mistake to think that the conquering of new territory and the enslavement
of people is in accordance with the new world paradigm as it was in
previous times. We shall not
hide that now the Book of Life, the accumulated knowledge of the ages, is
open before mankind who is now spiritually developed enough to understand
natural laws. Therefore, the definition of property is not conquered
territories or people, nor are lower class persons of your own people property,
but the ability to make high quality things and high quality thinking.
Let’s consider the concept of property with full responsibility as having
high quality relationships between ourselves and objects and the world. Another definition of property is
unworthy and humiliating because it belonged to an old century. Is it possible to cleave these
fruits of evolution (these old concepts of property) by a weapon or to
shake by intimidation, or cowardice, or treacherous slyness? No! For there has come an epoch of
universal enrichment of consciousness (not of bank accounts) and nobody
will refuse the personal right for this property, this enrichment. There are no forces which could
detain the coming of the new world.
We regret the infinite expenditure of energy used striving to
accumulate property. It’s hard to see how people drag around tattered
vestiges of themselves forgetting that life is a Way, a journey, and only certain
things are needed in this way. We
smile for those people who have the aspiration to understand the right of
this sacred property.
- Each
person has the right to eternal life, but the price is high, and it
demands a great deal from the small person. It is necessary to escape from
a chaotic world, where people believe in a finite life, in order to reach
Divine consciousness and to hear the voice of Truth, breaking the veil of
lies about mortal life, leading the person away from an infinite stream of
births and death. There is one way to this purpose – self-perfection.
People cannot construct immortal bodies from a mortal substance, immortal
ideas from mortal thoughts, and divine feelings from mortal feelings.
There is one more unconditional quality on a way to Immortality –
Fearlessness. When this state is achieved concerning worldly fears, it is
necessary to make the last step to full fearlessness: to achieve
fearlessness in the attitude to God. The prayer based on fear comes from
the era when people were not capable of understanding the underlying
reason of mutual relations of the soul with their own God likeness. The
idea of a person kowtowing before God was inherited from ancient times.
The past has penetrated through to the present with a musty smell of the
decomposition of mankind, and is a record of how people let their immortal
Selves become mortal. Immortality is based on the law of perfection and that
the person is loved by God, whereas fear assumes that he stays in a
certain imperfect condition – condemned and limited. For realization of
this right, more than the usual discipline should be appointed. This right is truly grandiose,
and mankind will erect a stronghold of the greatest beauty and bring into
the world a valuable contribution – a pyramid of harmonious lives, which
is a pyramid of majestic architecture. We shall be fearless on the way to
realizing the right for Immortality.
- Each
person has the right to have Faith. To have Belief is to have a special
kind of knowledge when we know about the existence of the omniscient being
which we vaguely name God and the existence of an infinite chain of sacred
essences, who aspire to reach Him and achieve the level of Angel, Archangel and higher levels. In this infinite
Hierarchy of beings striving toward God there are our Guardian Angels and
Teachers leading us by an enlightenment of consciousness to God. Belief is
a condition of internal knowledge, and one should continuously and
indefatigably act to realize this knowledge; lazy people should not
console themselves, saying: "if we have Belief, the rest will be applied.”(Matt. 21:22) It is a shame to
know, that thinking in this way we voluntarily condemn ourselves to live
in cowardice and laziness because Faith is a gigantic work to accumulate
knowledge about God and, realizing this knowledge, work indefatigably. How
do we realize this great right? There are talks about blind Belief, but
the right of Belief is a right to its comprehension. Belief is a type of
knowledge, and knowledge can be intellectual and heartistic. People invent
many ways to artificially develop Belief. Others think that only spiritual development will help to
reinforce Belief – they are closer to the goal. Only intellectual exercise
helps to develop higher heartistic knowledge and Belief, but it is
necessary to do these exercises every day and each hour in order to
realize our right to Believe.
- Each
person has the right to fight against criminality. Many people dear to us
are involved by deceit or force in gangs similar to a cancer tumor
expanding and destroying the big cities in each country. We should
challenge the criminals; criminality should be stopped before it gets out
of control. The future of mankind is in danger, because criminality not
only violates our rights, but completely deprives the future generations
of elementary norms of a public life, ecological protection, and the
concept of morals disappears from use. People whom we love the most, our
descendents, are doomed by us to an animal-like existence. We need to
realize the right to fight against criminality not only to rehabilitate
ourselves in memory of our descendents, but also to provide the
evolutionary future of mankind. Cities require revival to a decent
legislative way of life where life will be defined as a cultural phenomenon
in the highest degree. Light bearers – people realizing the right to
struggle against criminality – should support and inspire all efforts
capable of bringing safety on our streets and hope for our children. Many
people know that life worsens, but they are too involved in the routine of
daily life to feel and see that obviously human feelings have become dull
and there is a universal degradation of morals and degeneration of art
into stripteases and erotic theatres, etc. Peoples do not feel the degradation
of basic moral laws of the nations or if they feel it, they do not know
what to do about it. Therefore, only those who are involved in this
struggle against criminality can fight for universal salvation; there are
many such people in all countries and among all peoples. Let’s remember,
that when people are led to a dead-end, they cannot recognize the forces
of Evil and fight against them – forces which work tirelessly to destroy
everything that is holy and pure, that is from God. We should fight against
these forces and the planet should be cleaned of everything that is
anti-Life and anti-Light. The
right to struggle against criminality does not know compromises – there is
only one alternative to criminal behavior – Culture, criminality’s
opposite.
- The
divine right of each person is the Immortal plan for us to reach the ideal
personality. The Immortal plan are the unchangeable images of God’s
identity, and the best guarantee that if a person follows the way defined
by God he/she will reach this ideal (God’s image). The best example of the
Immortal plan as the highest protection against the human tendency of
self-destruction is the image of Christ. God so loved his begotten Son
that it is completely clear that he is the image of God, the prototype on
which all people are created. Hence, this image is the divine right of
each person. Let’s repeat each step of the way of the Great Savior in
order to embody the image of Him and in this way realize our Divine Right.
- Each
person has the right to have Honor – that unique Honor, which originates
from the Divine Nobleness of each person by his right of firstborn. The measure of Honor is heartistic
sensitivity – a basis for world greatness. It is necessary to learn, what
Honor and dignity and the other noble qualities resulting from Honor are
necessary for. Each person aspires to reach liberation which can be
achieved by the divine quality of honor which comes from the Heart of God
when people, in nobleness, put the interests of others above their own and
learn the value of a true brotherhood and attendance. The right of Honor is a right of the cosmic Hero.
The person who
rescues a snake to lose a friend is not a hero.
The person who evades his/her human
duty, looking for words of an apology is not a hero.
The person who does not understand where less is more – as a parent who
understands that his small children’s lives have more value than his own -
cannot be considered a hero.
The person who has lost the quality
of his/her heart is not a hero.
Therefore, again and again it is
possible to be surprised by human absurdities, when people search for spiritual
knowledge and spiritual liberation, and simultaneously create new imperfect
relationships and disagreements with his/her brothers.
False honor is always protecting
one’s imperfections, and protecting the right to remain the same.
Sometimes people want to be
sanctioned as prophets or saints but they are false; God cannot be humiliated
with these false human relationships.
Spirituality is most effective for
those persons who side by side with spiritual development of validity and mercy
aspire to possess the noble right of Honor.
The right of Divine Honor is the
most beautiful right of the Spiritual Aristocrat.
- Each
person has the right to a place in the eternal and infinite cosmic
Hierarchy. The Hierarchy is the total law working in the lowest transient
Terrestrial plane, and also in the supreme Cosmic plane. The Cosmic
Intelligence exists everywhere in the Cosmic plane managing all elements.
Based on their potential energy levels, different energies are fulfilling
their purposes in the Cosmos. Energies with higher potential take higher
positions and energies with lower potentials take lower positions. According to the Cosmic law, the
Supreme power is put atop everything.
Hierarchy is the indestructible eternal law of the Cosmos based on the
potential of the spirit of the Cosmic Intelligence.
In the earthly human dimension
there is a multitude of hierarchies from patrimonial, financial and administrative
management up to the same set of hierarchies of the criminal world. All of them
are transient, and time destroys them as card houses, for the human hierarchy
is a hierarchy of violence, when one people enslave others. Spiritual Hierarchy
and human hierarchy are two lines of Good and the Evil. But the main obstacle for the development of countries is in
artificial reorganizing of Hierarchies, which brings premature decomposition
and disorder of the states. Truly, who is outside of Hierarchy?
Only ignoramuses and deceivers can
black out hierarchy under different nicknames. They carry not freedom of
Hierarchies, but the slavery of their clan for every second they are under the
yoke of constant surveillance because of mistrust. In Hierarchies Spiritual supervision
is transformed into cooperation and mutual-awareness. Supervision generates
discipline of violence; trust generates the blessing of self-discipline.
The history of mankind is a history
of churning the ocean of human transient hierarchies up to that condition when
in the soul of each person the need to find spiritual qualities wakes up,
directing towards the Spiritual Hierarchy in spite of obstacles of everyday
customs. Everyday customs erase the God-given tasks and human tasks increase,
destroying the Cosmic order. It is necessary to understand, that only dialogue
with Spiritual Hierarchy can help the development of spirit stay atop everyday
customs. It is impossible to avoid the details of life, but they can be covered
with a rainbow of spiritual light.
It is necessary to remember, that
the main task is in self-perfection of people, meaning recognition of a
principle of Spiritual Hierarchy, but not human hierarchy which enslaves races,
peoples, estates, castes and individuals.
Down with human slavery! Let each
people take care to become chosen in God’s eyes, and each person the owner of
the right to belong in the Spiritual Hierarchy, according to the spiritual
potential they achieved in life.
- Many
legal statutes are fabricated by mankind, but the most immutable is not
told – the Cosmic Right. It is possible to see how often this Right is
used in life. Often it is possible to notice, how something impossible
under human laws nevertheless is executed. Often it is possible to be
surprised how useless all human precautions are. It is impossible not to
feel how something, above all human reasoning guides all circumstances. In
this Something there is Will, and Authority and the most immutable
attraction. The Cosmic Right guides appointed people to a peaceful world.
Sometimes they themselves cannot explain how unexpected circumstances are
composed but they know how their Heart is burning. In this way their
hearts join something immutable. Following this immutable right it is
possible to pass the most dangerous precipices. It is possible to call
this power Hierarchy. But if we
consider the chemistry of stars, the energy waves from the cosmos that
affect our mind, and a tracing of the distance worlds of hierarchies it is
possible to define this right – the Cosmic Right.
- In
order to limit an arbitrariness of people, each person has the right to
indicate their Duty, responsibilities and obligations for society.
To have rights means to bear the
responsibility for them and counterbalancing the Declaration of Human Rights is
the Declaration of Human Duty. Duty and Right are inseparable and should be
precisely defined. It is possible to stop the ignorance and misuse of Rights
and Duty only by clearly declaring their definitions. Let’s protect society
from abusing rights by the right to indicate to the public each person’s Duty,
responsibility and obligation.
- Each
person has the right to full rights. This especially capacious right means
the statement of true equality. Anyone can understand that there is no
equality where people are cut off from any opportunity for progress and
instead they are in the pitiful position of depending on foreign
international charitable organizations. People are proud of the
destruction of slavery, but has it been destroyed everywhere? Slavery has
refined its forms and under a mask of hypocrisy still enslaves whole
nations. How can the inhabitants of the earth sleep peacefully when
somewhere human dignity is humiliated to a bestial condition? How can
educated people brag knowing that there are no full rights? Universality
of the full rights of mankind should be the sign of current times. The
public opinion should demand justice. Such full rights should become the
natural law among world relations. Full rights should be the most necessary
condition especially in achieving women’s rights. This duty of
understanding one’s full rights will release everyday life from rough
habits, foul language, lies, and dull use. But new evolution should begin
from the early years if ideas about it have not lit up independently. We
can see nowadays that there are many women who fully understand the value
of full rights. Women can help the rest of the world understand these
rights. We cannot consider the question of full rights fairly resolved
concerning countries, peoples, individuals, or even Women.
