He who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens – liberation, the achievement of the state of nirvana. Bringing to liberation is the exclusive domain of the Almighty. No one but the Almighty can lead to liberation. Without the blessing of the Almighty, no one is able to achieve liberation on their own.
I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut – liberation, reaching the state of nirvana.
That you have a little power – this level of liberation is achieved by severe ascetic practice.
That you have a little power – compared to the powers of the Almighty, the powers of an angel disciple are negligible.
You kept my word, and didn't deny my name – this level of liberation is acquired by iron fidelity.
I am coming quickly – the coming of the Lamb.
Hold firmly that which you have – a person has liberation, this is what he has, this is what you need to hold on to and not be distracted by anything else. Liberation is fixed by repeated repetition of samadhi.
So that no one takes your crown – it is easy to lose the state of holiness at this level. Therefore, at this level, solitude, isolation, seclusion is even more important.
So that no one takes your crown – keep this level. If you drop the level, then the followers will turn away from you and start worshiping someone else, someone not real.
Seventh – sahasrara
Chapter 3
… "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked; I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies."
⦿ Seventh level – sahasrara. An angel of this level – an arhat – has achieved the stability of personal liberation, the stability of the state of nirvana. He personally, in principle, no longer needs anything in this life. And so he stands and does nothing. However, Scripture says: You do not know that you are miserable, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold, purified by fire, so that you may become rich, and white clothes to put on and so that the shame of your nakedness will not be visible, and anoint your eyes with eye ointment so that you can see.
Amen, the Faithful and True Witness – the Almighty is an expert in the organization of the universe and its laws.
Amen – AUM. The cycle of the emergence, existence and destruction of all things.
The Head of God's creation – the Almighty is the firstborn (first son), and the first that Brahma (God the Father) created.
You are neither cold nor hot – the state of nirvana.
I wish you were cold or hot – is a call to further growth, to becoming victorious.
Gold refined by fire – divine forces, the origin of which is associated with the energy of kundalini (fire).
Eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see – clairvoyance, divine power.
You are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked – in comparison with the divine powers that are bestowed upon further spiritual development, upon becoming a bodhisattva, this achievement of sole awakening is poverty.
I counsel you to buy from me … white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed – when becoming a victorious angel, it is shameful to adhere to generally accepted moral standards, insofar as other moral rules are established for him.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten – tantra-vajrayana.
Be zealous therefore, and repent – all previous practice was only kindergarten. Repent of infidelity.
Be zealous – for any distortions of the Truth, for its substitutions, for compromises, for inaccuracies in the Law.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock – is there anyone who has not heard the Message?
And will dine with him, and he with me – an arhat who has embarked on the path of a bodhisattva has the opportunity to visit another dimension, a space in which God is constantly present.
Conqueror (ch. 2-3)
Conquering
To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
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.
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the
