Apostle Philip
“I am glad that you came here…
“Do you remember how on this place, when Vladimir brought you here, you for the first time could see Jesus with the eyes of the soul and received His blessing to continue your efforts?… You were at the very beginning of the Path to God-the-Father…”
“I do remember it… I remember it in all details!
“Philip, please tell about how You saw Jesus for the first time.”
“Well…
“At that time, we had been waiting for the advent of the Messiah for a long time…
“… One day My sister ran into the house crying:
‘Philip, He has come!…’
“She could say nothing more…
“Many people went to the open space out of the village, where He wanted to speak.
“A lot of people had gathered, but there were no usual hubbub and bustle; everyone waited…
“Suddenly, amazing transparent silence fell over the place.
“And Jesus began to speak.
“He spoke not loudly, but it seemed that His soft voice sounded not outside, but inside everyone who listened… And however far from Him people stood, they could hear His every word…
“… Later, many times I experienced that amazing state when Jesus submerged all the listeners into Himself as a Consciousness and spoke with each soul as if one-to-one, however many people were around… And everyone knew that Jesus spoke personally to him or her…
“… When the sermon was finished, people dispersed overfilled with what they heard. They walked in silence as if fearing to spill the invaluable truths with which Jesus filled their souls… And I… could not move: My legs as if stuck to the ground…
“I did not know how I would live further without Him… Everything I had been doing before, had lost its meaning…
“But only He could teach to do the things about which He told…
“Jesus came to Me Himself and called Me by My name as if He knew Me… He asked, ‘Do you want to follow Me?…’
“I answered:
‘I do, Lord! Wherever You go — take me with You!…’.
“Jesus touched My shoulder and said:
‘Come, you may follow Me…’.”

“… Philip, tell us please about how Jesus taught…”
“It is difficult to convey it with words… He taught by all His life; He taught by His every word and deed!…
“He exposed in us that which was imperfect. He taught to root out vices in oneself, because one cannot approach the Father having not become the Pure Light!
“He taught meditation: taught by submerging us into His states, by explaining how to enter them, how to retain them in whatever hard conditions our bodies could be.
“Whether He commissioned one of us to do something, whether He worked Divine miracles in our presence… — His every word and deed changed something in those who listened and followed Him.
“Since the time we met Jesus, we had no life other than the life with Him. Everyone renounced everything they had in the material world in order to follow the Lord!
“But it was not enough to become One with the Father, as Jesus taught. One had to renounce ‘oneself’ as well…
“He did not have much time…
“… We had to complete the transfiguration of Ourselves and to cognize the fullness of Mergence with the Heavenly Father — when We were walking to different countries carrying His Teachings to people. And Jesus was always with Every One of Us…”
“Do You want to say something more, Philip?”
“I would like to, but there are no words in the world to express this… I would like to tell about the love for Jesus… I will tell about this without words to anyone who ask Me…
“I want to tell also about Christ’s Heart. Many people use these words when edifying others … Yet do they understand what these words mean?
“It is one of the greatest discoveries that a seeking Christian can make!
“Christ’s Heart is larger than anything that ordinary people may see in the earthly life!
“Therefore, just by reasoning about It in words one cannot gain even a slightest understanding of It!
“This Heart embraces with Its Love everything! In this Heart there is an infinite Source of Love and life-giving Power! Like an infinitely large Sun, this Heart shines beneath the entire world!
“By feeling this Heart, you can feel also the Love of Christ which He carried in Himself to people!
“Only having felt this Heart as yours, can you understand the fullness of this Knowledge…
“Therefore, I say: the duty of every true Christian is to strive to become Christ’s Heart, so as to become truly similar to Him!
“… I am ready to help all who seek Jesus, who seek the Father!
“Jesus and many other Sons and Daughters of the One Father breathed life into your undertakings which will create a new spiritual spring on the planet Earth! We All are glad to give Our help to you!”
