to liberation in the true sense, are embarrassed by the pressure of this "slander", and leave, abandon the teachings that could, in fact, save them.
● If any church sets as the highest goal not the eradication of worldly desires, but the worship of God, then this church should be considered satanic.
Chapter 2
… "To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
"I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn't deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise. Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it. …
⦿ Third level – manipura. This chakra connects with the world of pretas (hungry ghosts). The negative aspect of this chakra is greed. Selfishness is based on greed – self-love. That is, love for that which for a person, not in words, but in deeds, is really the most precious thing. And the most precious thing for a person is himself. I am more precious to myself than anything in the world. The selfishness of an angel of this level stops further spiritual development. What clue does the scripture give here?
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam. … So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise – that is, the scripture points not to the angel's own shortcomings, but to the shortcomings of his followers. And the mistakes of the followers are blamed on the angel. And the scripture says: Repent. That is, the angel must repent not for his own mistakes, but for the mistakes of his followers. That is, this angel is unnecessarily removed from his followers. That is, he does not control deeply enough what the followers think about, what they do, what practices they engage in. The angel is in such a delusion: "Each person must answer for himself, and the spiritual growth of any person depends primarily only on himself."
An angel of this level, as a rule, has a strong will, is firmly faithful to God, and is emotionally stable. An angel of this level is already fluent in celibacy and fasting. This angel is instructed to work more with followers, and not to focus only on himself, only on his practice, only on his spiritual level, only on his spiritual development.
Because you have there – an angel of this level is already, as a rule, a monk. Monk means he has no one. He is mono – one. He does not have a wife, children around his neck, parents, worldly acquaintances and friends. It is difficult to say about monk brothers "you have". Monk brothers are equal among themselves and no one, as a rule, bears responsibility before God for other monk brothers. So here we are talking about followers. That is, about the disciples of the angel. That is, about those for whose condition this angel must take responsibility.
Repent – this detachment leads some of his followers to take many liberties in their beliefs. For example, some followers believe that “there is nothing wrong with the fact that people can indulge in their whims, can have sex, overeat, spend their lives on tourism, games and films. Each person is free to build life as he sees fit. If a person likes hedonism, then let him indulge in pleasures. If a person likes asceticism, then let him practice yoga. To each his own".
Repent – such a detachment leads some of his followers to take many liberties in their beliefs. For example, some followers may tolerate agnosticism. For example, followers may assume that "God may indeed be unknowable to someone."
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. – I will punish you by coming myself and myself will instruct your followers.
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. – The student is able to destroy temptations with the power of words, choosing the right formula.
I am coming to you quickly – it speaks of the second coming of the Savior, the coming of the Lamb.
Satan – is the denial of Truth. Denial of the need to get rid of worldly desires, get rid of consumerism.
Satan's throne – manipura in a polluted state splashes out greed, which naturally manifests itself in the capture of consumerism.
Satan's throne – is the dominant religion. Insofar as it is impossible to take the throne of the dominant religion in a country where the devil rules, called "the state system of consumerism and appropriation", if this religion is not satanic.
Satan's throne – is the Department, the state system of consumerism and appropriation.
Where Satan dwells – the Department.
Antipas my witness – Shoko Asahara. In addition to being a criminal, Asahara was also a religious leader. In almost all of his lectures, Asahara testified that he was doing
