Question: Why do you accept so few people for senior courses? Why do you abandon students on the half way to the Perfection? How would you explain this in line with your concept of Love?

Answer: We accept only those for the next stage who are able to ascend onto it and, what is more important, — who will be able to hold their ground at it.

You have to understand that everyone has their own rate of advancement. And the exceeding of one’s individual possibilities may result in a breakdown.

As an example take a person who has completed several courses of our School, but who does not possess wide scope of knowledge and who gets into a certain sect of Orthodox or some other orientation. There they start intimidating him or her: how did you dare to learn from anyone except us, what a sin! Repent, confess your sins, and so on. And not anyone can withstand these accusations, especially if they are accompanied with the use of magic! And the victim gets filled with fear because of his/her allegedly “sinful” past and condemnation of those, from whom he or she, maybe for the first time, learned about God and the Path to Him.

And as soon as one lets mystical fear and anger of condemnation into oneself — this instantly attracts demons (i.e. inhabitants of coarse spatial dimensions). Since the energy of our coarse emotions is the best delicacy for them! Then they begin — by their own means — to intimidate their victim to even greater extent and to provoke him or her to further condemnation. This is how schizophrenia develops.

You may ask: why does God allow this to happen? But did not God teach us not to condemn? And at the same time He edifies the instructor as well, so that he would know which students should be expelled from the group in advance before this happens to them.

Or one more example. A person quite unequivocally encounters devils. What kind of emotions does he or she experience?... The Orthodox Church teaches people to hate and be afraid of devils... But it is exactly what they need!

Mystical path is not for weak people! And if the instructor protects the students from the trials beyond their capabilities — how is this called? Is it love or not?

Still, every next step of spiritual work means increased susceptibility to mystic factors. And it is better not to receive it, than to obtain it when one is not mature enough yet.

I have presented just one scheme of a fall-down, but in reality there are lots of them.

Well, one more example. A young mystic catches flu. To admit such a common disease — his pride does not allow him. Hence, his conclusion — somebody influences him with evil charms! Who? Whom do I know as being energetically powerful person? Oh! — this is my instructor! So he speaks of love only to disguise himself, but in reality he is up to such things! (For a normal person such logic seems impossible. But I witnessed two of such cases.)

It also occurs sometimes that female students fall in love with the instructor and believe he must response with similar feelings. If he does not, what follows is well-known: “Well, he does not love me! Bastard! He might be in debauchery up to his ears with other students, while does not care a bit about my pure love!...” Love of primitive people is very easily transformed into hatred. The results of this we know.
