Sensei of Shambala. Book IV. Anastasia Novykh

the center like piglets to the thick of their congeners, together with their rugs. All the others quickly joined them. As a result of such mass movement of rugs everybody crowded around Sensei.

      “Sensei, please tell us!” the guys backed up.

      “Well, if I have promised, then listen carefully…” uttered Sensei friendly and thinking about something for a while he started his story. “In order to understand the goal of secret societies, which knowledge and methods they use, we should go deep into the sources of confrontation between Good and Evil. In East from ancient times people believe that the main center of opposition to the Evil and dark forces on Earth is Shambala, which is a firstprimary source of knowledge and huge spiritual power. But I would like to notice that though Shambala possesses all these features, in general it’s neutral relative to the human society, giving people pure knowledge and full right to make their own choice between the forces of Good and Evil. That’s why spiritual knowledge of Shambala is spreaded in the human society and the Evil is opposed as a rule by people themselves who are on the spiritual way.

      “Of course, from time to time the human society is visited by Bodhisattvas from Shambala who are mostly occupied first of all with restoration of lost spiritual knowledge, true history of development of human civilizations which were either lost by people in time or hidden from the majority of people or modified by other people in their greedy and power-seeking goals. Bodhisattvas also give additional information about the world depending on the level of scientific achievements of civilization. That is thy take neutral position relative to the human society and as far as possible they give pure information to people, without a touch of fantasy of dirt of ages, as well as various human ambitions. Whether they accept this information or not is a personal choice of every human who was lucky in the human society to become a possessor of those knowledge of Shambala which are dreamt of by many high and mighty of this world. And correspondingly to resist the Evil, if you possess this information, and do real Good in this world or to please your own vanity with this knowledge is also a personal matter of each human and of people in general. But I emphasize once again that within the human society only people themselves who follow the spiritual way resist the Evil and the Archons. By the way, those people are called from ancient times the Arhats.”

      “The Arhats?” asked Victor.

      “Yes. If to translate from Sanskrit, “Arhat” means worthy. Nowadays this word is used by Buddhists in their terminology, they call so humans who came close to the Nirvana state. But actually from ancient times people called as Arhats those who were worthy to bring spiritual knowledge of Shambala to the world. To these people belong also those who were called by ancient Slavyans as Vezha, Sokrovennik, Mezhanin.”

      “You see, the Arhats and the Archons! The difference is so slight, only a couple of letters, but they have such opposite goals!” Stas was surprised.

      “Right, but this “slight” difference changes the signs to completely opposite,” emphasized Sensei. “And the fact that there is a slight difference in names, it’s all due to people rumours. Since first there were the Arhats, who spreaded spiritual knowledge. And then appeared those who were called by ancient Greek wisemen as the Archons, emphasizing the popular method of the Archons to alter and to distort those things which became popular among people due to the Arhats. This opposition is inherent in all human civilizations whatever people call these both sides.

      “The Archons just work according to principles of Ariman. And yesterday you had a chance to contemplate the principles of Ariman. It seems that he tells the same spiritual things as Bodhisattvas of Shambala but he distorts the truth so skilfully in favour of the matter that a human doesn’t notice under the details the global substitution, the change of direction on the way to the opposite side. But a human who has more of spiritual in him, will understand this substitution and reveal it. Ariman just plays on the human weaknesses, on the wishes of the Animal whatever nice word form it would put on. It fully confuses a human. The same principles, the principles of his Master are followed by the Archons.”

      “What does mean a word ‘Archons’?” asked Yura.

      “The word “Archons” origins from the Greek word “archontes” what means “elders”, “forefathers”, “chiefs”, “rulers”. Much later the orthodox Christians started to treat them as “servants of the devil”. The gnostics who were guided by ancient knowledge interpreted the Archons as spirits-world rulers, creators of the material universe whose power can be overcome only by a spiritual person. But in general they thought that the power of the Archons is not limitless, according to the plan of God. Taking into consideration the opposition of the Arhats and the Archons during thousands of years, they are right to some extent, of course.

      The Great Archon, or he is also called the “Archon of this world” what is the same as the “king of this world” is Ariman… But in more ancient times his name as the name of the Great Archon was Abraxas, as it is interpreted nowadays, “the spirit of the universal whole who isn’t absolutely evil, but being ignorant, takes himself for absolute God”. This legend can be taken as a fairy-tale only by those who are completely unaware of knowledge and order of the world. For wise people it’s a hint, a tip.”

      At this moment Nikolai Andreevich said, “The last one happens probably because people know little or don’t know anything at all. And where is no knowledge, there is misunderstanding and fear.”

      “Right you are. What do people know about Ariman? Mostly, due to activities of the Archons, they are given the information corresponding to the level of a six-years-old child, something like “Satan is a bad awful monster, with horns and hooves, who will drag you to his dark kingdom and will boil you in a pot with pitch, if you will not obey to us and do everything we tell you.” By the way, not only in the religion but in the politics the Archons use the same technique of information supply for majority of people, throughout the world. And it happens so because the serious information, especially the political one, isn’t apprehended by the majority of people. It leads to a paradox: each individual considers himself to be smart and clever, but most of them understand the serious information just on the primitive level of explanation typical for a little kid. It was so both in ancient times and now. That’s why the Archons used it and use till now, nominating his people as interpreters.”

      Volodya uttered with doubts in his voice, “Probably, people apprehend it so because they don’t know the whole truth which is boiled in the pot of political kitchen. And nobody, of course, will ever tell them the truth as it will just undermine the authority of those who launches all this disorders.”

      “Yes, yes,” echoed Eugene, “As they say, if you like sausage and politics, it’s better not to know how both of them are cooked.”

      The guys laughed. And Stas complained with humour addressing Sensei, “How does it come so? In relation to religions the Archons shamelessly slander their own Master when they intimidate people with “awful monster”?!”

      “Well, they use any means to achieve their goal. And their goal is simple – to distract the attention of a human from his internal spiritual development by external material things. To hide the true reason of Evil which is concealed inside of the human, in his Animal nature. And, of course, the main thing for them is to achieve an unlimited power over people. They strive to it and dictate the society their rules of life, impose wards and don’t shun to awake in people beast instincts. They profit from people’s fear and ignorance. Since if a human knows truth, he will stop fearing them, he will see the light. He won’t care anymore about their lies, will turn around and will go to the spiritual side. That’s why the Archons do everything so that not to let it be. So, guys, whatever it be, be careful in this world. Don’t forget that we are here temporarily, we are guests of Ariman. It’s all his Satrapy.”

      “What? Satrapy?!” Andrew didn’t get it. “What is that?”

      Eugene explained him in his own way.

      “It’s a place where murderers rule.”

      “Really?!” Andrew asked with naivety, turning to Sensei.

      Sensei looked grinning at Eugene and replied, “Almost. A Satrapy is a place under the rule of a satrap. ’Satrapēs’ is a Greek word. It comes from the ancient
