Home > Methodology of Spiritual Development

The subject of this direction of science can be characterized as a combination of modern universal theology, ecopsychology (spiritual ecology), spiritual pedagogics, and spiritual art.

Methodology of Spiritual Development presents the true knowledge about the meaning of human life and practical ways of its realization — in light of the modern religious philosophy.

Main points of the Methodology of Spiritual Development are:

• 1. The Universe is multidimensional — in reality (and not only mathematically). Its dimensions (planes, eons, lokas) can be cognized by an advanced human consciousness. Such level of consciousness’ advancement can be attained through proper spiritual training. One of the components of this training should be a multi-step meditative practice.
• 2. There is God. The most principal meaning of this word is the Creator, the Primordial Universal Consciousness, dwelling in the primary spatial dimension. This Consciousness represents the subtlest state of the Universal energy — on the “subtlety-coarseness” scale.
• 3. Man is not a body. Man is a lump of energy of consciousness (a soul), capable of self-comprehension, remembering, thinking, moving, growing qualitatively and quantitatively and also of degradation.
• 4. The supreme prospective task of each human being is to cognize God in all of His aspects and manifestations, then, upon achieving the spiritual Perfection, to merge into Him in His Abode and to continue taking part in the Universal Evolutionary Process from there, by helping the embodied beings, in particular.
