Relationships with the authorities and the church
The KGB was watching him, demanding a "loyalty signature".
He was in conflict with the church hierarchy over freedom of speech and sincerity of preaching.
The confrontation was intensified by his Jewish origin.
🔹 Main opinions and interpretations of the spirit
About his murder
It was a "catalyst" that increased the dissemination of his books and ideas.
The real culprits are the "collective unconscious, unprepared to accept love and light."
He knew his fate in advance and accepted it humbly.
About Christianity
The essence is the living Christ and Love, not dogmas and formalisms.
The liturgy is not a ritual, but a living encounter with Christ.
Baptism is a spiritual initiation that awakens the Higher Self.
Burial is help to the soul in transition and liberation.
About pastoral work
A priest is a doctor of souls, not a judge.
We must speak the "language of the heart," not formal sermons.
The mistake of modern pastoral work is the loss of a living connection with Christ.
About esotericism and Orthodoxy
They do not contradict, but describe the same spiritual truths in different languages.
Both paths lead to awakening and union with God.
On the future of the church
It is like a tree with roots in the apostolic era, but the trunk is struck by the storms of history.
It will remain alive only when it is a bridge, not a wall, and when Christ is in the center, not the system.
On reincarnation in Scripture
Mentions in the Bible:
John the Baptist = "that same Elijah."
The disciples' question: "Who sinned, he or his parents, that he was born blind?"
The wisdom of Solomon: the soul comes to the body.
Later, these passages were ousted from the canon or declared heresy.

Greetings to you, dear friends. Now our esteemed contactee Marina Makeeva will join us. Greetings to Marina. Greetings to Vladimir. And hello, our dear viewers. We greet everyone who wrote questions, who was eagerly awaiting this conference today. And today with us, together with Marina Proteyarey, is a man about whom Many have heard and know, but there are also many who have not heard and will find out today. Alexander Vladimirovich Men, an Orthodox priest with a very difficult tragic fate, who passed away, and violently passed away almost exactly 35 years ago, in September 1990. And today we have a number of questions for Father Alexander from another priest, but I will talk about this a little later now, but for now I want to greet you, esteemed Proteyarey Alexander Men, greetings I greet everyone, dear ones, and I am glad to be here with you. You see how it is with us. I hope that all this interference on the air will not interfere with us. Marina has already turned everything off, otherwise they will call again. Everything is fine. Everything is fine, yes. Here we are again, as always, in conditions where interference is possible, but everything will be fine. Yes. We welcome you too. Tell me, what is the best way to address you? Address me in a way that is convenient for you, son Oh, well, it was not me who said that, forgive me, yes. Perhaps, I heard about that, I said something there. Can I address you? I know that this is not very traditionally accepted in Orthodoxy, but still, I feel comfortable. Father Alexander. Yes, you can. This is more from the Catholic Egregor, from that part of Christianity that is called Catholicism, but you also somehow... were friends with Catholicism, for which not everyone in Orthodoxy liked you, it turned out that way. But I have my own attitude to Catholicism. Father Alexander will speak. And today we have questions for Father Alexander. Father Andrei asks most of the questions. That's who. This is our friend, from Alson University, with whom we have already had conferences. Father Andrey Stasishin, also an Orthodox priest. A graduate of the Spiritual Academy. He is the rector of a church in Ukraine. And so he could not attend, but he sent a series of questions in my thank you request and many questions from him. Father Alexander, do you mind that the questions will be asked mainly through me, Father Andrey? Why are you against it? On the contrary, it is even interesting. To hear a modern point of view. And what worries us now. Okay, then we will do so. I would like to say at the same time, friends, that this is not a live broadcast now, in case someone did not immediately understand, this is a recording of the conference with us. Therefore, the questions were sent in advance by Father Andrey, and I will be from others, as questions, those who sent them earlier in our special topic. And I want to remind you that our paid subscribers of the channel, earlier saw or are seeing this recording. We have such conditions, please, there. Such small monthly money, but you can support Alzona and receive all ours in the conference recording before everyone else, see? So, I hope this will help someone else to get their bearings.Well, we'll begin now. So, dear Father Andrey, let's clear up from the very beginning, do I understand correctly that you are now we are speaking with the Spirit, which is in the spiritual world, is that so? Turn to him again, because Father Andrey said. I apologize, yes, Father Alexander. Father Alexander, thank you for the correction. Did I understand correctly, I was thinking about Andrey Stasya. Did I also understand incorrectly, that we are speaking, Father Alexander, with you, with the spirit, which is now, well, that part of the spirit maybe, which is in the spiritual world, I call it by the name of your past incarnation. Is that so? Yes, that's how it is. Spiritual world. Well, then the very... the very moment to ask the question, what level of the spiritual world is this according to the simplified scale known to us? It is according to your nineteenth level. The nineteenth level, yes. I didn't know in advance, now quickly. Well, I remember, but I want to be sure. It is already quite clear that this is a high level, that this is the level... These are prophets. Yes, angels-prophets. Angels-prophets, I see, messengers of the will of God. The task is to teach incarnate-non-incarnate spirits, true spiritual, selfless love and so on. I see, tell me, but from what level did you come into the life of Alexander me? I think that there is, perhaps, some degree of idealization of my personality. And, maybe, I will disappoint someone, but I came from a single level. I think, on the contrary, for many it will be instructive. So, you came from the 11th level, this is even lower than the disciples, as far as I remember, and reached the angelic level in the prophet. Does this mean that the tasks of the incarnation were fulfilled or were they overfulfilled? But the plan was eighteenth. And you reached nineteenth? Yes. What were the tasks and what was the overfulfillment, judging by the task of the incarnation was to bring light, to preach the word of God. open hearts. done. Why are you interested, why the 19th, and the 18th? For the reason that it was done sincerely, relentlessly, in spite of everything. Well, and suicide kind of served as a catalyst. Understandable. We don't like here, I like not to intrigue here at all and would still like to talk there at the beginning, but here already in the context of the answer, let me ask right now. So, death served as a catalyst for the level to become even higher. Why? After all, it was murder. What, how did it serve as a catalyst? Well, now then let's find out, yes, so what happened there in the morning when you were going to work. According to the official version, it is not clear who hit, with an axe, it seems. You returned along the path, bleeding to your house. Then the exoticism in the investigation begins. Your wife did not recognize you, hanging so exhausted on the gate. Then there was an exit from the incarnation due to loss of blood. You returned, bleeding from the blow. Nothing further is clear. Not so until the end and the killer was not found, although someone confessed, but there was no confirmation. And that's it, the murder remained unsolved. Now you can comment on all this. It doesn't matter at all who killed, in fact. in this death, in my exit from incarnation,it doesn't matter. You could say that I was killed by the general field of collective, unconscious, non-annual acceptance of love for change, which was inexorable. and that Word of God, love, power, light that I carried. served as that irritant, where, speaking in esoteric language, or in God's language, whoever likes which word more, the dark forces became against carrying this light further. And for this reason it happened, it happened. I can say that for me it was expected, it was not a sudden death. I knew that it would be so, so I just humbly waited for this fate and understood that it could not be avoided. Did you receive notes even at a certain time of service, notes with threats constantly? Yes, I received notes for six months. And closer to the exit from the incarnation, the more often and more of them, of course. You see, this moment with exiting the incarnation, in my opinion, is one of the key ones, I thought so, in your incarnation, and you confirmed this when you said that it influenced the exit to an even higher one. That is, this is definitely such a key moment. As if summed up the results of life and influenced the level. That is why we are here... I want us, so to speak, to spend some time on such-and-such clarification. For me, to be honest, it is not very clear what the situation is. Dark forces, yes, it is clear that there are spiritual reasons. But this is not a businessman, this is not someone who crossed the road. What was this anyway? A contract killing? Did someone order you? Your spiritual college or how should I understand this? Ordered, perhaps, is not quite the right word, I am not a businessman. Most likely, this is a conspiracy. A conspiracy where interests coincided. I would very much like to understand whose interests, whose conspiracy this is, a conversation against you, who conspired with whom. Well, as you remember, those years were marked by chaos and an attempt... to change people's thinking and way of life very much. And even those who couldn't, but wanted to be in power at any cost, they tried to do it. Of course, I witnessed everything that was happening inside, say, the church diocese. And I saw some not very good things and didn't keep quiet about it, which is natural, which naturally brought about a certain disfavor of certain individuals. And then this interest of these individuals coincided with the interests of those who sat behind me for many, many years, of whom many different cases were written in my name. KGB? Come on, tell me, speak. Let's call things by their proper names. What about us, yes. The KGB was watching you. Well, that was already the 90s. It is clear that this was no longer the time, the Soviet time. Well, and not the time that came soon after I left. Well, yes, even the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed. But somehow everything, glasnost, acceleration, arrangement, things. Well, the acceleration led to the fact that I went out for payment, probably a little bit... faster, it could have been, but nevertheless, I went out on time, because I managed to do everything that was necessary and laid those bricks that needed to be laid as the construction of the church itself, as an institute, as an educational institution, and also as the Word of God.I left a trace that you still remember and I'm glad that all of this is still relevant today. Okay, but to understand, representatives of the special services, the then Soviet KGB, and representatives of the clergy participated in this conspiracy, their interests converged, and they somehow, well, let's be specific, asked someone to physically eliminate you together. Is that how or what? Someone was directly from the KGB. Was it someone specifically from those cases of executioners from the State Security Committee who eliminated you? From that office, let's say, probably, as I understood it, those who had already been somewhere in hot spots and for whom, in fact, killing someone does not matter. There was such a category of people who worked on order, probably still exist. And is this one of those? That is, your killer was directly hired by the State Security Committee. And to the labyrinth? He gave the task? Well, he gave the task. Some kind of freelance employee who is in hot spots. Afghanistan, of course, someone else. But the assignment came from the KGB. They will eliminate you physically. From the department that was involved, there was, maybe it's a secret for someone. There was such a word. You shouldn't say it like that, not in the past tense, okay, let's leave it at that. Now and so they found a person, gave you the assignment to kill you, he carried out the assignment. That is, like Trotsky was given an assignment before. Well, Mityash, did you find an analogy? Mercader was given an assignment, and by the way, he also chopped up Trotsky with an ice pick in Mexico, and here with an axe. No, not an axe. Not an axe. With what? But a shovel. A sapper shovel. An sapper shovel, a military sapper shovel, it is clear that for this person it was a more familiar tool, and the person who later confessed to the police, allegedly an axe, in fact, all this and then it fell apart, it was all untrue. And the police somehow investigated it, it is already clear how, right? Or did they honestly try to establish, didn't they know? As far as possible, taking into account that evidence disappeared from them periodically. They investigated as much as they could. I see. That is, to sum it up, I want to once again, you know, in summary, and you can correct me, Dets Alexander. This means that the clergy of that time were interested in you not reporting to the public what you wanted. These interests coincided with the interests of the State Security Committee, then the Soviet Union, and it was at the junction of this, I don't know whether you were in power here or whether higher authorities were behind this, you will say now, but one way or another, KGB representatives found the perpetrator, who was in hot spots, I assume, probably in Afghanistan, somewhere else, and he, it means, on assignment from the KGB, tracked you down and, it means, dealt this blow with a sapper shovel. And then, of course, they didn't find him, naturally, because how could the Police find something, when yes. Now it is clear who was the customer and who organized all this. Did I understand everything correctly? Or do you want to add something? Yes, actually, without nuances, everything is correct in general terms. Why? Well,And were higher-ups behind this? Or was it some decision made by the KGB chiefs themselves? To kill a man, a priest. You know, it depends on who specifically. No, I'm not saying specifically. Some party organs were behind this, who knew, supervised. Someone was behind it, but I don't even want to get into it. Well, I see. To be honest, I expected this completely. But it turned out that we've come across another bloody crime by the Soviet special services. We've already talked about this, different ones. We had the moshers there, we talked about the Pykovs in Ukraine. And now it turns out... priests too. The masters of hard labor tried to do their best here, as if on instructions from their own, that is, their superiors. Now it's clear, good. Tell me, please, by the way, have you met the killer in the spiritual world or is he still incarnate? I'm not interested, why should I meet him? Well, you never know, maybe you came to him somehow, went to him. Another thing is important, that the very fact of the murder served as an activator so that people would believe more, read my books more, listen to my sermons. That is important. That is, in fact, these people did a good deed for all of humanity. Well, yes, in this sense, yes. Well, everything is done by the will of God. Jesus also said that if you sow the seed of will and it will live, it will be alone. But if it dies, it will bear fruit a thousand times more. And so I gave, one might say, fruit a thousand times more. I understand. And tell me, it will turn out simply, I already want to finish this topic. And what was the meaning of those notes with threats then? They offered you to refuse for some reason, was this a condition for you to stay alive or what were those notes for? Yes, it was somehow a warning from the church diocese that there was no need to continue, to stop, then nothing would happen. A, that is, they influenced this? It wasn’t just a decision? They tried to stop me, that is, they didn’t want to kill, let’s say. But they knew that this would end, and the comrades, the priests of IP, essentially became accomplices in the murder of their brother? They didn’t want to kill directly, just like that. Maybe they wanted it to be different somehow, but it turned out. I see. Well, it’s a beautiful picture. For some people, it’s shocking. For me, partly, yes, partly, I’m no longer surprised by anything in this whole history of one country. Okay. I’m talking about the Soviet Union, of course. It’s clear. Understood. Good. With this, we’ve understood all the details. Tell me, what happened there, when you were hanging helplessly on the gate? Why, according to the investigation, didn’t your wife recognize you? So here is the official information in Rikipedia, that your wife did not recognize you at first, when you, bleeding, returned along the path, hanging on the gate. Well, I did not hang on the gate. I fell, powerless. I... Just half-lying, half-sowing, as they say there. Half-dead body, bloody, dirty. She really did not recognize you? There is no information about the wife. Well, no, he did not say anything about wives now. And also, by the way, here, it is also interesting, well,if it was a killer, then usually there were some kind of control points, because you could have survived or there was no way to scare him badly, and there was no way... What was the task? All these control points? Or you don't know? Something... to strike a blow in a certain way so that he would live for a while longer. Up to what? And you can tell me that. Probably to kill him, but so that he would live for a while longer and suffer. I honestly don't know what the task was. That's how I understand it. But perhaps there were some nuances allowed in the execution, what this immediately means now. Did you have some kind of premonition on that day? This morning? I had a premonition the day before too. and the whole last week before this event was involved. And I'm also asking, it's just, well, from the spirit, at the 19th level you can ask him about it, at that level he is aware of all this, up to his height all the same with the light. He just came up behind you, just caught up with you, or how was it? Unexpectedly, or how? In general, there were three of them initially, and one hit from behind. And what were the first two doing? Talking? Distracting. Enveloping the city. They stopped him. They restored something with him, talked, leaned forward and then D. touched. That is, it was a whole group. In fact, there were killers, they were given an assignment by the KGB, and they carried out theirs, not one person, but a whole group, two distracted, one struck from behind. Sometimes... Well, it worked out. A whole operation. This is a very rare case, now it will be the first time. When I directly address those who are not indifferent to what happened then with the priest, as it turned out now, in the then Soviet Union, I address those in today's Russia, for whom this is not indifferent, because this same story remained absolutely without a result, that is, there are no results of the investigation, nothing was found out. Here Wikipedia writes that the case remained uninvestigated, who asked for a confession. But it turned out that all this is nonsense, there is nothing there, which means the murder weapon is fake and so on. The circumstances, motive and culprit of this crime remained unclear, we write on Wikipedia. And now these circumstances, motive and culprits have been clarified. So maybe one of our friends miraculously has some connection to some law enforcement agencies and so on. It was the Soviet Union, right? It is clear that everyone there is still alive, right? and, probably, feel great and continued their vigorous activity in the same direction. But now it is clear who, why and how killed the priest. A special sin. A special sin to kill a priest brutally for specific purposes. Which structure is already the executor of Alexander Vladimirovich Ladna less. Now we know. So the case is now solved for those who have common sense, and not fanaticism. Fortunately, there are such people in all countries. I am turning to you, maybe this will not only be interesting, but will even entail some actions, a desire to establish the truth,so that such things are repeated to a lesser extent in our time, in the future, although it is hardly worth hoping for, but okay, let's assume that we have already, unfortunately, been forced to go into detail and finished with this. So, why did this lead, if it had not been for this, then level 18 could have happened. What is, so to speak, the point of such a murder? And it led to the 19th. Because you forgave in this torment, forgave the murderer. Is that it or what? You wished them well, like, I don't know, like Jesus when he asked to forgive his tormentors or what was it? That too, but I also anticipated, so to speak. the situation that I understood that at any moment I could lose my life and that it would be murder, I also knew and felt fresher lately. But I did what I had to do. I went to the liturgy, I preached. I tried to live as usual and live each day to the maximum. understanding that it could be my last. And this will, when you know that at some point your friend may urgently pass away, unexpectedly, and it will be... I understood that it would not be an easy death, I had a premonition of it. But at the same time, humbly bear your cross. and Light and Love, and yes, I really, like Jesus, at the last moment of my life converted and forgave my murderers and did not blame anyone for this. And now I do not blame. Thank you for the answer. I also believe that it is necessary, of course, to forgive the murderers, to forgive the organizers, not to blame them for anything. And everything that I have said so far has to do with simply understanding what happened, so that it does not happen again in such a regime. So that in any country, in any country on Earth, criminal regimes do not exist, criminal authorities, which, with the hands of their special services or, well, it does not matter, their various structures, allow themselves to kill, including ministers. in this case, ministers of God, priests. And nothing, big deal, a priest was killed. What's so bad about that? We decided so, we gave the task, and three people completed it. Well, then to understand that for them I am an ordinary person, a priest or someone else, at that time it was not at all for us. Tell me, please, but from the point of view of the spiritual world, you are on the nineteenth level. Tell me, here are the people who are directly the executors, and especially those who gave them the task, and this is power. Well, murder in general, in general the murder of a person is understandable, but the murder of a priest. Does this somehow greatly burden karma or in different cases, differently or not so much, if we are going to operate with such words? Nis. peasantry, karma, sin. How much is it? It increases if you kill a priest, and not just a person. And what is the difference between a person and a priest? Well, in that the priest, if he continued to live, he could to a greater extent convey the word of "God" - this is a race. In addition, those who killed, they knew who they were killing. there are they directly killed the one who brings light to people. And they did it consciously. Firstly, they did not think that they were killing the one who brings light, and that for them the light.understand. Secondly, the one who is called a priest always carries the light. People do not carry the light. People carry the light in the same way. Do not forget, I have always said that there is light in each of us. And it makes no difference, you cannot divide into priests or non-priests. It is a vicious circle. And I hope that everyone who listens to this understands. Yes, I completely agree with you here. I know that many now, well, someone will definitely write that Vladimir, how deliberately, he has a prejudice. I do not have a prejudice against any specific country and any specific government. If we are talking about any country, I say the same thing. The same similar things, with what emotions I said when we learned how Marilyn Monroe was deliberately killed, for example, in the United States of America. Look there too, therefore... It's not that I'm talking about the Soviet Union or Russia, I'm saying the same things about any other countries where similar things happen, similar things happen. And there's enough of this in different places on Earth. It's just that right now we're dedicated specifically to Father Alexander, so we're talking in the context of this situation. Okay, fine, thank you for this information, I won't talk about this anymore, I won't go into details about these. Now let me find out from you before the incarnation of this one known to us. Did you have any other incarnations on Earth that were connected with historical figures? We know of some famous incarnations. Well, there were some, Someone we know. Who? I don't know if he knows everything about it, because these are not kings, these are more connected with the one to whom I dedicated my whole life. and with the cause to which I dedicated my whole life. We were offering Semyon. The very one, right? The very same family. Probably the very one. I don't know who you are. So it turns out that you personally knew Jesus? Well, as he knew, well, you could say he knew. But he knew and didn't know at the same time. Later I got to know him better and embarked on the path, the path of Jesus. I became his follower, his servant, if I may say so, his servant. not so, it's probably wrong to say him. his finger on his right hand, one of the fingers. That one who carries, carries the light and does everything by the finger, the finger of God and hears the call of God. And in spite of everything, I have always tried in all centuries to carry the knowledge and light that I have always received. But look, here is Semyon, I probably didn't mean that one, that one, there are many Semyon here. The new theologian Semyon, Semyon the Stylites, all this was later, some time after the birth of Christ. Which Semyon are we talking about? Who? Because there are a lot of options here. Semyon Kirinets or whatever his name is... from Cyrene, in general, a Cyrenian, so he lived precisely during the time of Jesus, I just, you see, don't know everything, but this is the one, now I'll explain, this is the one who is considered to have carried the cross for Jesus, everything is already clear, Semyon Kirinyanin, the man mentioned in the Gospel found, who part of the way of the cross, he carried the cross for the placement of Jesus Christ, is considered a saint by the Orthodox and Catholics. It is this Semyon,because later they took the name. Semyon Kirinyanin. Well, I see. It was not for nothing that I asked at the beginning. So he personally knew Jesus. I see. Here on this path of sorrow. Everything is clear what Semyon is. This is who you are. This is your incarnation. You helped Jesus carry the cross. Well, in fact, I did not carry the cross. And how was it? He himself carried the cross. In that vestment, he simply touched the cross. I wanted to help, or rather, not that I wanted, I was passing by, they forced me, it is true, the soldiers forced me to help, but the cross was heavy for me, and I simply touched it and sympathized with Jesus, he inflicted sel. Wikipedia writes... Well, not Wikipedia, here the quotes are given from the Gospel. Here I found it in your presence, I did not know all this. Matthew writes, the people leaving met a Kirinyan named Simon. So he writes, they forced him to carry his cross in Matthew 27:32, Mark's Gospel, they forced a certain Cyrenian Simon who was passing by. Well, Simon, probably. Here, with Alexander and Rufus, who were coming from the field, to carry his cross. Luke writes, and when they led him away, they seized a certain... I don't know, Simon, probably, should be said, not Simon, Simon. The Cyrenians, who found him from the field, put the cross on him so that he would carry it for Jesus. Those who know better will probably correct me. Here, based on the absence and reminders of it, Augustine of Blessed writes, "Before the ascent to the Golgos, Jesus himself carried his cross." Simon, as the previous three evangelists recall, was forced to do the same on the way when raising the cross to the place of execution. And at the place of execution, you really helped to erect the cross. I walked next to him and simply supported him. I can say that I helped. from me was to zero. Supported, supported as best he could. And sympathy. After exiting? Yes. I just felt me at that moment when I touched the cross and saw Jesus, something happened. I became a different person, I changed. And were? The one you were before. Did you somehow have a connection with Jesus even before that incarnation, before Jesus came to earth? It was not by chance, probably, that's what happened with the cross? I just had connections with his disciples before that incarnation. That's how we encountered. Not with the Mother of God, but specifically with the disciples, I mean with the apostles, right? Yes. After exiting the incarnation, what level did Simon end up on? On the 22nd. On the 22nd. And then some other incarnations happened, and you ended up on the 11th. And why on the 11th? After which incarnation did the exit to the 11th level occur? On the 11th it was the last, before this incarnation I always wanted to preach in my soul to Nastya and the word of God, but for me, it was my dream, but I did not have such an opportunity and I worked all my life. worked for the family. I carried another cross. And this is my dream remained unfulfilled. And I always judged a lot for the timid, for the uncouth, that I can not quit and leave, that I tied myself with promises and misfortune over this. And I regretted very much in that life, realizing that my dream would never come true. And so I fell for one of them. And where was,in what country or in what part of the world is this incarnation before Alexander Mene? Prantz? Prantz. And approximately at what time? The beginning of the 19th century. The beginning of the 19th century. Tell me, please, dear Tets Alexander, what was the highest level of your spirit? The 22nd was in this Manuvanter, which toasts two after the transition of all these reasons? The 22nd. The 22nd. And what was the lowest? Do you remember, have you been there? Well, it’s difficult now like this... Okay. That’s it. Okay. Look at all this. He says, he says so much, don’t get attached to these levels. Everything is so. From the point of view of the spirit, it doesn’t matter. There is when you are in payment, perhaps, it’s interesting. But when you are in the spiritual world, you are all in a single field, a single picture. And it’s very difficult to grade like this. Okay. Before I move on to questions from your colleague in faith, we can say, yes, Andrey Stasishin will begin in ministry, here is a question from our viewer. A very interesting question, just in the context of what we have to talk about. He says, okay, I'll tell you, I picked it up, he says, the sixth, that is, you are interested in this. But I think everyone is interested in how it turns out that one can travel between the sixth and the twenty-second. The sixth level is the same. At the sixth, they somehow communicated, interacted with this ruler of the sixth level. Or was that a long time ago? You ask a question that... He says who he interacts with, he won't tell you now, but it is quite possible, I, that, as it were... If you mean some evil spirits, then, of course, they always like to communicate and come. Well, yes. Well, okay, and so, coming back, our subscriber asks such a question, a very interesting one, in the context of what we were forced to talk about, all these details of the exit from incarnation, and he asks, did Alexander Min collaborate with the KGB, like many other priests. Well, now we already understand how the KGB collaborated with him, but maybe there was still something before all this, what we talked about. Somehow they collaborated with the KGB, and then gave up on everything. That's how, you know. So it was they who collaborated with you by brutally murdering you? I have never... Yes, so what? And the beginning was when I was studying, of course, they came, they called me, I wrote some kind of receipts, they demanded a promise that I would be different, that I would not preach or bring chaos and all sorts of lyricism to the masses. Tell me, what was the most important thing in why, so to speak, your colleagues did not like you? What was the danger? For them, I read reviews about you, so now, they are contradictory, reviews during whom you. our time, someone speaks very well of you, including the top officials of the church, so the Russian Orthodox, someone not so well, but then you represented some kind of deadly danger for them, since it came to this anyway. So why? What was the main danger for them? The first important danger is that I am not enlightened. I could not adhere to some kind of formality, serve, because he is the highest, because he is some kind of hierarch.I could say everything I thought. I had freedom of speech, of thought. They did not have it, and it irritated them. And I really knew God, I lived it, and my word was “alive”. But the second reason is that someone at that time still had a very bad attitude towards nationality. nationality. Jewish descent. Yes, I was Jewish. Well, it turns out that I understood you there through your father, but through your mother it is somehow not entirely clear. According to the Jewish tradition, we can say that you were Jewish through your mother, that is, completely. Both there and there? Mam Maris, was a Jew. A Jew. Well, yes, here the parents have Jewish surnames, everything is clear. That is, you were a Jew who nevertheless completely converted to Christianity. I know that you were baptized there, you were secretly born in 1935 in Moscow. And they couldn't get over it, that a Jew became a priest. Yes, it's a secret, but my mother baptized me. Well, my mother baptized me, yes. Well, it's written in Wikipedia that it's a secret, meaning, somehow without advertising, probably, well, after the 5th year. Well, back then they advertised, of course, nothing. So, that too, yes, was added, that, it means, with such a nationality he became a priest. That's their corrodovosey. Probably so. Well, yes, the fact that Jesus was with a Jew usually doesn't bother such people at all. They forget about it. It means that they are anti-Semites in relation to Jesus, whom they believe in. I just personally encountered this. I have my own experience, close communication. I lived right next to the church, it was my interesting experience in all sorts. Therefore, I went through all this not at such, of course, level, and in America, but nevertheless. Okay. Well, now here are the questions directly from Father Andrei. Do you remember your moment in quotes "revelation" and how it happened? Probably, I think, it means such an epiphany, an element of some enlightenment, connected with merging with whatever you want, with the Egregor, with the energy of Jesus, with the Christ consciousness, with the Holy Spirit. But I'm trying to understand somehow. His moment of "revelation" is written by... Father Andrey, how did it happen? Or maybe something else? Maybe you'll understand better what I mean? Yes, I tried to explain, I remember, of course. I was in San Grosco then. But it wasn't like an epiphany, it was like awakening after a long sleep. And in those years, the soul seemed to live in the shadows, everything seemed cold, faceless. And one evening I remember how I came across a book, which I opened, and these were stories from the Old Testament. And I felt at that moment, as if someone was looking at me, as if someone was looking into my soul. The words, I read. And at that moment I understood, here they are. I woke up. I couldn’t explain what happened, but I understood that God is alive. Of course, later there were other moments when I read prayers. Some night prayers under the blanket, trying to read some books in silence. But this revelation was gradual, it was not to the extent of... what I became, it took time. But I recognized God right away in the first moment, and myself... as I am called to serve God,time has passed. It is very important not just to know that God exists, but to understand that you, His path in this world. And this has become the essence of my ministry - to help others know that their soul is not an accident that is hovering somewhere out there, the meaning of life is to seek the path of the soul, to live according to the soul, to find your purpose. Thank you. The next question is from Father Andrey. Did you have a personal meeting? How does he formulate it with Christ? And how did this affect your worldview? in brackets. There is such a thing as meeting Christ. Some have experienced this important experience. Or this is what you just said, or maybe a friend. Well, actually, this is what I just told you about. I felt a presence, I felt that he was inside me, and that he was bigger than me. But he was kind of not in me. But he was closer to me than I was to myself. And I realized that I met him, and that the love I felt was not an emotion, but love, this is the nature of God himself. My heart opened, compassion appeared. My mind hesitated for a long time, but my heart already knew that this knowledge, and this knowledge cannot be lost. on the spiritual level you are on now. Do you somehow interact with the energy of Misus? Maybe he somehow descends there, comes to you? The nineteenth level? Of course. That is, they descend to you somehow, you feel it, right, Yura? This is a connection, explain it somehow. Of course, he is not physically present. But this is a constant connection, this is an open stream of consciousness. You need to feel it, as I have not tried it now. I did not ask, but tell me now, do you already have any plans for the new incarnation? Well, not yet, of course, there will be service, because how it will be, I do not yet know. At the moment, I am trying to support Greber Christianity and this is my task. How exactly do you support it? I build light with connection, with love. I direct, I show, you know, It’s as if there is such a dark tower, and he directs a huge column of light there, and the tower becomes light. It’s something like that. And what is the dark tower? The current state of Gorochristianity? Well, yes. And tell me, after the incarnation of Simon, so, probably, I remember Simon correctly, were there still some, maybe we know from historical figures on Earth? Well, that’s it, if you know, I was... the incarnation of Gregory. Low? You said Low? No, two C’s there. Low. Two C’s. I understand everything. there recently... Yes, he says that this idea of the eternal movement of the soul is like his idea. So you were in the incarnation, you were precisely Gregory the Low, right? Is this your incarnation? Yes. I recently interviewed a very famous person, who is controversial for many, but a very famous person. He simply mentioned the philosophical contexts, philosophical-spiritual thoughts about this, philosophy, with whom and what it is you will find out later. That is why I am a little... Gregory Nisky. Nisky. Christian philosophers-theologians, I am opening it right here in front of you. Somewhere around the end of the 4th century, not the 4th century. 335-394.Cappadocia, Greek Christian theologian, philosopher, 300 years after the birth of Jesus, a saint, and here he was mentioned. So, that's who. Well, even as I would say, there was a book too, and that's why we're talking about this... We won't say much, but now it's clear who you were. Now this is an even bigger sensation. Is that all or could there be someone else? Well, that's probably enough for now, I was a modest person. Maybe the Middle Ages, later, the Renaissance? I had some work there, and I didn't go through the highest level. And were you present in the Catholic egregor, let's say, during the time of Francisco-Osiskov? No, during Francisco's time, but I was a servant of the Franciscans of some incarnation, but this was not known directly in the incarnation. I see, I see. Let's continue, thank you. Very interesting information. This puzzle is increasingly coming together now. Let's continue with Father Andrey's questions. Which Christian thinker has had the greatest influence on your way of thinking? Who do you consider your teacher? Well, I think there were many readers. The same Grigory Nisky. It is always interesting for me to read him. That is, your previous incarnation, this person was for you as a connection with the time, was for you to teach? Yes. I always really liked John Flotaust, the way he expounds. Thomas Quinsky Pascar I see Yes. I see, thank you. I am just here in parallel from two mesbures information, questions. I liked Dostoevsky, Chekhov too. And, just writers, that is, the classics of Russian literature. Yes, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy. And Dostoevsky here. Solzhenitsyn, yes. Well, Solzhenitsyn. Here you, so to speak, with him ... The KGB, in the person of Andropov, connected, I read. They wrote that you were together with Alzhenitsyn, in general, you are so black there. Yes. They smeared with black paint. Yes, of course, my teacher was Christ himself all the time. Well, understandably. I have always said myself that for me there is no higher teacher than Christ. And all who carry the light at least a little, his light, all my brothers, are inspiring. Here is another priest, Andrei's father, asking a very interesting question. Andrei's father is a very enlightened person, in my opinion, he does not shy away from esotericism, tries to find common ground, wonderful. And he asks whether Alexander Menzits Alexander Mens hid his esoteric abilities from his colleagues? How did these abilities help him in his pastoral service? Well, of course, I could not advertise anything, any abilities, especially in the Soviet era, when religion was so under great pressure. But I could not refuse this deep knowledge that I had either. And I used it in my sermons. I used very symbolic ones. I opened hearts, that is, I conveyed it to people through words. That's probably where my talent was - to convey through words. Yeee I was told that I read hearts, that I saw right through people. Well, that's probably true. It helped me in understanding the person himself, me, every person who came to me for advice. He always found an answer.I always knew what to say to him. I felt the impulse of his soul. I knew what and how to say to whom. That is probably why it is considered that I had some talents. Although in fact I would call them spiritual gifts, but I did not hide them, but I did not put them on display either. That is why... I believe that everyone has a gift, and he grows numb and does not use it. No? Well, yes, of course. Here is Father Andrei asking you about this. Advice from you to me, he writes, and to other clergymen who also feel their unusual ability. For example, clear knowledge, sensitivity, foresight, and so on. What should they do? What should they do with this? Should I somehow tell them about it, notify them, or hide it, as you feel now? Do not hide it, but do not put it on display. Do not be afraid of your tars. But do not turn it into something incredible. Let your loved ones feel for themselves that something bright, warm, divine has come through you. Let this gift be better not noticed by someone, but it will work. Many are looking for the meaning of healing, light. If you are given this ability to feel more, become for them this bridge to Hako-Christ, and not an obstacle of death, fear and pride. And remember that the gift does not make you closer to God, but it is love, through which you go, from which you preach, that makes you closer. Beautiful words, I think, Father Andrei will appreciate them. And the next one from him is no longer a question, but a request. That is how he writes. A request to share personal, mystical experience of serving the Liturgy and briefly reveal the essence of the Liturgies in his, that is, in your understanding. For me, the Liturgy has always been like a meeting with the Living Christ. For me, this has never been just a ritual. This is a living touch to the mystery, which becomes not just some kind of symbol, but comes alive with this mystery. And I have always felt like a servant of this mystery. When I served, I felt... that something was happening to me, my voice changed, my gaze went away, I became different. I felt myself in a state of unrest, I felt the power passing through me. In my understanding, the essence of Elturgy is not just memories, but a return to the space where eternity. unite with time, where the mystery of the incarnation, bread and wine become body and blood. not because matter changes, but because everything that exists is transformed, a response to a request, prayer and love. And others seem to unite. earth and sky. and everything is united, all the living, all the dead, the entire cosmos, as one body of Christ. And when we, priests, serve the rite, the door that separates this world from the other opens. And we become participants in this earthly drama on the one hand and the heavenly celebration on the other. This is the moment when... I say this. Lord, here I am. Maybe I am weak in love, and yet I am yours. Thank you with all my heart. There are several more requests to you from Father Andrey. These are not questions, but requests. They start like this. And here is the next request to show the points of contact between esotericism and Orthodox Christianity for mutual reconciliation and understanding. After all, it feels like you were groping for,Somehow we described this, there was no conflict. Well, what are the points of contact? Connections with the source of Orthodoxy, teaching. Deification, something turns into God. When a person is called to unite with God, to become a partaker of this divine nature, then in hysteria this is the same idea of the highest initiation, the awakening of the divine spark. return to Isotok, the same thing. In Orthodoxy, the path of purification is enlightenment again through image, and in esotericism, this is the path of transformation and awakening. That is, both of these traditions recognize that a person is not just flesh, but a vessel of the spirit, called to transformation. This is all about this. Another point is that both in esotericism and in Orthodoxy there are these spiritual entities, a hierarchy determined by an angel, all this is the same, which also connects, although it may be a little different, but it is about the same thing. In Orthodoxy and esotericism, it is said about a person as... In connection with a multi-layered being, Orthodoxy is a body, soul, spirit, a blessing of three particulars of a person. On UZDR we know that there are physical, astral, metallic and other bodies. In Orthodoxy, we talk about restoring the image and likeness of God, and in esotericism we talk about awakening the Higher Self. Isn't this about the same thing? Well, and... in Orthodoxy we say "God is Love". And the main commandment is Love for God and one's neighbor. And in esotericism, the awareness of the unity of all existing beings, compassion, manifestation, enlightenment, all unification. And here Love as a force, as a transformation. is the center of both Christianity and esotericism. This is not enough, we can continue. Well, yes, I think it is clear, the worldview in yours is clear, here, from the point of contact, which Andrei's father asked to designate, it is more incomprehensible now. Here I also wanted to comment on the article that Proteacon Andrei Kuraev, quite well-known, wrote about you at one time, he wrote an article about your ecumenism. And the attitude of an Orthodox person to this ecumenism, the article is called "Alexander Men, the Lost Missionary." And... Andrei Kuraev writes there, "Such is the fate of a missionary, the one who speaks the language of his contemporary culture turns out to be too outdated when this culture leaves. Today we live in a wine world. Triumphant atheism has been replaced by triumphant occultism. Everyone is playing the glass bead game with words like karma, horoscope, astral, cosmic ray. Almost all the religions of the world have come to our home and in a friendly forum declared Christianity obsolete." And here a completely different intonation turned out to be necessary. Not the one that was in the books of Father Alexander Men. When the islands of Christianity threaten to be swallowed up by the occult element, then there is no time to look for the common. It is time to draw boundaries, dividing lines. Time to conflict. Christ is not only the one awaited by all nations, he is also the one rejected by the priests of all national religions. He is a scandal for the Jews, and madness for the Greeks. He writes about you, in fact. They turn to you in something. Andrey Kurail,How would you comment on the fact that everything must be fought, nothing must be united under any circumstances, divided, fought, battled, and even Jesus is called in as witnesses? This is in line with your opinion. I would say that this person writes and lives out of fear. That is why he draws such conclusions, it is his right. And we are talking about love, about light. Is this another country a medal? And what is his main fear? Fear of separation? Fear of being left without a destiny. In this case, it turns out to be the opposite of fear, unification and the desire to remain. Fear is actually the tip of the iceberg, it seems that there is a fear of unification, but inside there is a fear of separation. He has lost his way home, does not know where his way is, he is confused. Therefore, a person goes far from home, well, imagine that you went into the forest and got lost. You begin to imitate and roll down the road. and went one way, then drinks in another, and you no longer know, you are already trying to simply save yourself, separate, simply survive. A person who is in a state of transcendental fear looks like this. I see, I see. Well, then Father Andrey will ask you to suggest a hint about reincarnation in the Holy Scripture or tradition. After all, reincarnation is denied there. But here is a request. Maybe there is an intention somewhere. Well, yes, yes. Reincarnation of Christianity is a very subtle point. Like this, once alive, then judgment. Well, yes, but in fact, the Christian paer Christ did not say anything about this earlier, he spoke about reincarnation, and we know this. Aliyah-udaism, in general, there is this concept of reincarnation, and heugol is called, heugol, passidism and so on, who does not know, well, well, well. Well, here are a few such hinting points, well, for example, from VIKSO and ... about Ilya, Ilya, And they are baptizers, like Ilya. He wrote then... And if you want to accept it, he is Elijah, who is destined to come. That is, John came in the spirit from Elijah. That is, it speaks of reincarnation, that John the Baptist is Elijah. And such a subtext, if you read it correctly. Well, actually, here in any case. In my opinion, it seems to me that this is interpreted unambiguously. me, Hoventar. Somewhere else. Yes, he says, maybe you remember the question of the disciples about the man blind from birth? When the disciples asked. Rabiah, sinned. He or his parents, that he was born blind. Who sinned? He or his parents, that he was born blind. That is, the question "he sinned before birth" shows that the disciples then admitted the existence of the soul before birth and personal responsibility before life. And here is such a subtle point, it is very subtle, but it exists. Or here in the book of Solomon, which, of course, is not in the Orthodox traditions, there is where he says, I was... I was a virtuous child, and being kind, I came into an immaculate body. there is a description of how the soul chooses or comes into the body. That is, it hints at the existence of the soul, the pre-existence of the soul. That is, this is not direct reincarnation, but a spiritually close concept. Thank you. Tell me, maybe Father Alexandra,there was much more? not only hints, but also more direct information, did the writing just freeze out over time? Of course, I'm trying to explain now from what's left. Of course, in the original texts there was a lot... there was, yes. Yes, there was quite a lot. Origen wrote openly, he went over. Well, it was heresy, everything was heresy there. But then it was called for heresy, but he had quite a lot of influence. His authority was very great for a long time. Unfortunately, centuries do their job. Centuries and desires. Maybe people weren't ready here. And maybe, really, there was some good intention in this. And, perhaps, for someone it is positive to think that we only live once, otherwise they will postpone what needs to be done until the next incarnation. Everything, in my opinion, depends on people's consciousness. The question is this. Just to suggest, asks Father Andrey. What mistakes of modern pastoralism should be given special attention, what should be corrected first of all? Such a professional question. Well, you ask, I'll tell you briefly. There was a loss of living connection with the Person of Christ. Not a system, not an ideology, not rules, but Christ as a living loving one, as a savior. And if a pastor begins to preach without the Face of Christ in his heart, he can say the right things, but they will not ignite anyone. Preaching should come from communication, from prayer, from love. The next point is... formalism, a formal approach. For many spiritual people, religion turns into just a system of ritual. Of course, rituals are important, they... But rituals are like a vessel, and a vessel needs to be filled with... spiritual wine. And if we serve vitruyu as a function, and not as a meeting with God, then people stop believing in miracles. And the next points, more understandable, are closedness to people's pain. Often pastors speak from above, but they are not nearby. We must go together. Go together with the fathers, hear their fears and pains. And today it is especially important to speak in the language of the heart, and not in the language of the canon. Well, and of course, such a big... sin is the condemnation of spiritual pride. To think that we know better, that we are the guardians of the truth, and others have forgotten from the neck. But you know that Christ embraced sinners, ate and drank with them. A pastor is not a judge, he is a doctor. And church pride is covered with words about pure faith in the opinion of love. Understood, thank you. I think Father Andrei is also grateful. I did not interrupt, did you want to add something else or for now. No. Here is simply a continuation, because the next question is this. How do you see the Orthodox Church today? What awaits it, probably, in the near future? The whole today is like a tree whose roots will still prop up the apostolic age, but its trunk is struck. Struck by the storms of history, and the leaves are covered with the dust of modernity. But inside it there is still life, because the Spirit of God did not leave it. And even when human fears, debt, abomination, the heart closed the gospel light, life resisted and flows. Many people today are looking for spirituality, thought and truth. But of course,They do not always find it at the church walls, but often find formalism, morality, and bullying. And I expect that the church will open its doors not only for its own, but also for those who doubt, seek, and are wounded. That pastors will not be judges, but will be doctors of souls, that the word "love" will cease to be a theological term, and will remain just a presence. Christ did not come to build a wall, he became a bridge. And the church should also be a bridge between God and man, and not a controller at the entrance to the temple. The church should become a living organism. And if... It does not live by Christ, it ceases to be a church. But if at least a person lives in it, the church is alive by Christ. I do not see the church as a stone fortress protecting from the world. I see it as a ship sailing through the storms of history. which are not afraid of the waves and the battle of the cross. And if we are not afraid of the new... Let us not be afraid. of inner honesty. that everything will be fine with the cheese, it will remain alive, and will not become a museum. That's it. Thank you again with all my heart. Please explain to hysterical people the meaning of the sacrament of baptism and the sacrament of burial, which are now especially subject to criticism. Well, yes, he will try to explain from the point of view of esotericism. The sacrament of baptism is like the activation of the higher "I" in the body. Baptism is a spiritual initiation similar to those carried out from ancient masters about Egypt, others, about Lenism, Muria and so on, where the sacrament of baptism itself contributes to and corresponds to the moment of awakening of the connection with the higher Self. Water here is the element of purification and transition. It washes away karmic layers, the puddle ego, helps the soul to remember and find new energy bodies. In the understanding of Christianity, baptism is the entry into the New Testament into the body of Christ, the union with the Divine Life. And it symbolizes, as it were, the dying of the old, the birth of the new. But this is not just a ritual, this is an initiation by light and water. And initiation rituals by light and water have existed in all centuries, all times, in different religions, just in different ways. This was passed down in the peasantry. So the whole burial is like a liberation and transition. After all, in azoterics it is known that the death of the body is not the end, it is just a transitional state when the soul leaves the dense form and enters the space corresponding to its vibrations. Therefore, I can talk about the levels when the soul gets there. The burial ritual helps to free the soul from attachment and complete its false contracts that remained on earth. and help it go up with light and love. Prayer helps to raise the frequency in the soul, to free oneself from fears, resentment, understatement. But this is important both for the living and for those who have passed away, because this is a certain denouement of those knots that connect the living and the departing. Because it is easier for the living to let go in reality. In Christianity Taisiya Burial is not about death, but about resurrection. And the church sees off the soul with prayer, faith. in eternal life, as if believing this Soul to God. not the same, but similar rituals, for example, were in Ancient Egypt,where priests helped to make this transition to the other side, the transition to eternity. Why is this important? Why explain it? This is a good question. Because for many modern people, church rituals are really limiting. But in fact, they contain the ancient sacred geometry of the power of the spirit. It is just hidden because of the form. And, of course, priests themselves now do not understand and do not carry that essence, the deep essence, which ... was originally laid down and people now read it. But I really believe that priests will appear, there are those like Father Andrei, who know the truth, they look deeper and understand the essence. Do not be afraid of the sacraments, their power is not the ritual, but the Spirit. The ritual is only a door, and behind the door is a light that never goes out. And even if you go a different way ... it always comes to meet you, because it did not come to dogma, to the heart. Thank you, Alexander. Here is another question from Father Andrei. How can Christian tradition help a person in his spiritual development at the moment? Tradition here is a capital letter, that is, it is meant in such a vast, global sense. But it is like a collection of ancient texts, isn't it? Probably, probably. Well, let's say that in fact it is a living spiritual stream, transmitted from heart to heart, generation to generation. This tradition connects us in this noise of the techno-information field, in which there is now everything. This tradition connects us in a continuous line of that spiritual experience, where each era supported the authenticity of the era. Of course, everything is true, but... not all are ancient and dead. We need to distinguish. Because up to a millennium, these traditions accumulated experience that has gone its way, that is going its way, which was written with this father and martyrs, and ascetics, and mystics. And their life is an example of internal work and trust in God in any reality. Cover them! through icons, for example, through chanting, through worship, through images of light, the cross, the resurrection. These images do not act on the subconscious level. They speak to the soul, activating the internal memory in the paper, without words. Therefore, all this is important, and this is the place to be. But, what is important, I want to repeat that in the center of the legend is still Christ as love. Everything else is the path to a person becoming able to love like God. And what does it mean to kill like God? It is to forgive, not to judge, to serve, to see the light of a friend. This is the spiritual growth that the legend calls for, but not a theoretical purification, but a living one, when each letter comes to life, you come to life together with the one you are reading about. Thank you. This question was left by Ansandria. One of them sounds like this. Are there any forces that are interested in the destruction of the Christian faith in The destruction of the Christian faith in society is not accidental, it is connected with the action of, of course, certain forces, both obvious and implicit. And the very first thing is internal strength, this is the strength of society itself. These are the processes that mature in the person himself. This is, first of all, of course,separation of religion from other super-lives, from education, from family, from science. You are not talking about Soviet times, when it was under the ban. And it gave its results. And, of course, technocracy, which is advancing in human life by leaps and bounds, also hinders this. There are also external forces. There are certain... people, Gregorians, whose task is to break the connection between God and man, where the distortion of the image of God loving, punishing, personal, abstract is transmitted, the transformation of faith into fanaticism, for example, dogmatism or some kind of magical thinking, for example. There are now systems that disguise themselves as spirituality, but they do not have the humility of love. Now there is an idea that man is just a bio-algorithm, a random set of Ken. And it is important not to save the soul, but to forestall life. And here this substitution of meaning is important. That is, there are forces interested, of course, in the destruction of Christianity. act through culture, thinking, through consciousness, through the loss of living faith, of course, but also through wars, through accusations. And here only internal transformation will help, when everyone will try to unite themselves inside with Christ. Thank you for the answer. And the final question from Father Andrey sounds like this. Well, Father Andrey is in Ukraine. Here he is the rector of the church in Ukraine. And accordingly, in the context of that place, he lives, the question sounds like this. The question is about the special mission of Ukraine in the spiritual transformation of all mankind. If such is it. You have spent your whole life in Russia. Well, you probably know the current situation. We call it that, between... Russia and Ukraine. And so, nevertheless, the question is about the special spiritual mission of Ukraine in the spiritual transformation of all mankind, if such exists. Where it hurts, there is birth. Ukraine bears the birth pangs of a new Europe, a new European spirit. Of course, Ukraine is, one might say, in the heart of Europe. At the crossroads of East and West, both geographically and spiritually, it combines Orthodoxy and Catholicism, the Slavic world and... the European world. Krinam! Of course, it has gone through great trials, the Holodomor and tourism. Of course, not only Ukraine, but we are talking about Ukraine now, through wars, there are wars now. Well, the most important problem of Ukraine is the split of identity. Where the suffering is deepest, the soul blossoms more strongly. This is such a law.
