About the Prophet
The teaching of the United Temple is based on revelation. Therefore, the prophet is the key figure in it. It has always been so, at all times of the existence of the Teaching. For several hundred thousand years, 27 prophets received the revelation of the God of Wisdom and passed on this knowledge to their apprentices. Since the gods in the Teaching are not supernatural beings, but the energetic essences of the most important laws and principles of Nature, then there is also nothing supernatural in the personality of the prophet. This is a person who receives knowledge directly from Nature itself, through an entity that is its natural part. The functions of the God of Wisdom include the preservation of what is often called the “energy-informational field” of the Universe, and what is called “tablets” in the TUT.
The Prophet is the highest authority in the Teaching, since he is the one who receives the revelation, communicating directly with its source, has all the fullness of knowledge, and therefore naturally becomes the major expert in all issues related to the Teaching. It is based on what was received through the prophet, and therefore cannot exist apart from his authority, neither now, nor in the future. The Prophet passes the knowledge he has gained through the pandect books and other written materials, as well as orally. In matters concerning the Teaching, his judgment is the highest authority and is not questioned. He also is the leader and decided all matters of the Teaching.
Atarkhat is the twenty-seventh and last prophet of the God of Wisdom. The revelation he received differs from the previous ones: it is more informationally complete and intended for everyone. It is also the final one in a series of revelations.
His path in the Teaching began from his previous life. This happened about 2500 years ago, in India, where he was a kshatriya and bore the name Ananda. Then a man named Sher-Ander turned to him. Sher-Ander belonged to the Teaching in one of his past lives. Then being in the world of energy, he was looking for someone who could hear him and accept the knowledge that he could give … Ananda was the one who could hear his voice. Mentally communicating with Sher-Ander, he learned the Teaching, and eventually became its follower. However, later he betrayed the principles of the Teaching. Having died and passed into the world of energy, he went through the hard consequences of his act – which lasted about a thousand years. Only after that he learned that his apostasy was not an ordinary one. He became the only one who committed apostasy being at such a high level of awareness of the Truth, when apostasy becomes almost impossible. This happened because there was an unprecedented critical situation in the human world. It was necessary that someone could convey the last revelation to people, revelation, which was different from all the previous ones. This necessity was fulfilled by the forces of Nature and pushed Ananda to what he did. What happened allowed him to gain a unique experience, which was not gained by any of the previous prophets.
When he was able to comprehend his new experience in the world of energy, he returned to the Teaching and was asked to become a prophet, who would convey the last, most important revelation to humanity. He accepted the obligation, and for the next one and a half thousand years he was waiting for the right moment for his new birth – the moment when the God of Wisdom would appeal to humanity.
It happened at the end of the 20th century. Ananda – Victor in a new life – was born in 1972 in the Byelorussian SSR. In early childhood, he was unexpectedly struck by an illness, which resulted in almost complete paralysis. The doctors failed to make an accurate diagnosis. In subsequent years, motor functions partially recovered, but then the situation began to deteriorate again. A variety of treatments were used, but they all failed to help. According to doctors’ forecasts, Victor was given 12-13 years of life at most. The forecasts were wrong.
Studying at home, he graduated from high school. Soon after he faced the question: what to do next? Trying himself in various fields available for a person with such limited opportunities, he decided to do magic. His family was not truly religious, and the school gave an atheistic upbringing – therefore, he did not believe in God, nor in magic, nor in any kind of mysticism as such. However, a sudden confidence and knowledge in magic was awakened and it allowed him to practice magic without using any tools or paraphernalia.
The study of magic continued until Victor was 21 years old. Then he heard a voice saying that he was to become the founder of the Teaching. It was unexpected and too unusual, and therefore he decided that he was imagining it. But the speaker continued and soon it turned into conversations. Victor learned that the God of Wisdom, best known as Thoth or Hermes (in the Teaching, he is named Emere), addresses him. Victor stopped practicing magic and began to learn, talking with his invisible mentor. With time, he learned the Teaching deeper and deeper. Soon he himself had his first apprentice. Then the texts began to be written, which later were included into the pandect.
At about the same time, Victor, who took the name Atarkhat, and his apprentice, who took the name Hantur, began to look for new apprentices. When the first book of the pandect was finished, attempts were made to publish it. Neither initiative was successful. There were two reasons. Firstly, the state of health of the prophet, who was chained to a wheelchair, made it impossible to disseminate his teachings actively. Secondly, the situation in Belarus, made book publishing practically impossible.
In subsequent years, Atarkhat continued to communicate with several apprentices in the current difficult situation and at the same time to work on the pandect, which eventually included two more books. Periodically, attempts were made to publish in Russia, also associated with a number of difficulties, in particular, with the specificity of the subject matter and with the fact that the books of the Teaching do not fit into the framework of the format of modern popular spiritual literature. For a long time, attempts remained unsuccessful. The situation changed only in 2013, when a collection of texts was published, which included selected texts from three books of the pandect.
Currently, Atarkhat still lives in Belarus. He continues to communicate with Emere, to develop the Teaching, to work on new books of the pandect and, thanks to the Internet, he has an opportunity to communicate with apprentices living abroad.
