power, how and why a battle for the control of the consciousness of entire nations in
different countries takes place and even for world domination.
Rigden: Yes, to get information is just half the battle. What is much more important is
the quality of its realisation! Let’s go further and consider, for example, the ritual of the
Christian sacrament of Holy Orders (ordination), meaning ordination of a priest in the
church hierarchy. Unfortunately, today in Christianity it has been likened to a
ceremonial, theatrical show, performance of clothing certain people with the power to
“administer sacraments and shepherd the flock”. This is nowhere near spirituality– there
is politics here. Given the present attitudes within different Christian churches and
movements which are subordinated to the consumer mentality, in most occasions this
ritual is already a formality, a tribute to traditions. Everyone already knows everything
before the ceremony; high positions, as they say, are bought and distributed. And what
occupies the mind of the majority of those present at the time of the ceremony? The
“seasoned” want to know the distribution of power and attitude inside the group, the
“young” are worried about the sequence of actions – which items and whose “holy
hands” to kiss first and how many times to bow. Nothing has changed with time, for the
same thing existed in the religions of other peoples at different times, it was only called
differently. But the meaning has remained the same. Of course, amongst all this “crowd
of power” one can find true believers who concentrate their attention not on external
rituals but on their spiritual feelings to God. But, unfortunately, such people are very and
very few.
Anastasia: Indeed, these are all works of men. Everyone chooses that for himself which
tempts him most in his secret desires. But if we have a look at the origins of the
sacrament of Holy Orders as such, then what’s meant here is the last, final stage of the
human spiritual development. It’s the same thing that is called in Sufism as the loss of of
the human “I”, merging of the seeker’s Soul with God; in Buddhism – the perfection of
transcendent (intuitive) Wisdom.
Rigden: Of course, people who follow the spiritual path by means of inner work on
themselves, regardless of whether they belonged to the religions of their time or not,
actually passed one and the same stages of self-perfection. If we trace the origins of, for
example, the concept of a “priest”, in ancient times it meant “a person standing before
God”. Basically, this is an exit to the seventh dimension, attaining true holiness by a
