Don’t destroy the Creator

If you ask me: “Which Doctrine fortells the end of the world?”, I will answer: “None of them. There is no eschatology. The world will not end — unless, of course, people themselves bring it to the end”. Indeed, no mystical “end of the world” associated with the punishment by mighty powers or supernatural last battle between the forces of Good and Evil are expected.

There will be no global changes associated with the mythical entry into the New Era, which is sometimes also associated with the end of the world — just in a less terrifying way. This is true with regard to the planet Earth and humanity. However, if the notion of eschatology is expanded to the scale of the Universe, we can say that something like this might happen. After all, the Universe (the current stage of evolution of the Creator) has the beginning and the end). However, what will it be? Is the happy end guaranteed?

Sadly, it is not. But even the worst ending has no mystery within. It will be a natural process — similar to the death of a person. Only in this case it will be the death of the Creator. And it will be the consequence of carelessness, not any sort of supernatural power. Humans and other sentient beings (“conscious”, in the terminology of the Doctrine), are those through whom the Creator is developing. Conscious beings have an active mind, they investigate themselves and through this knowledge the world perfects. The Spirit perfects — little pieces of Creator’s soul that are present in all living beings. This means that each of us is involved in the development of the Creator. Not just our development, in fact, his development. Global improvement — a total intellectual and moral improvement of all its particles. The Creator becomes better, more perfect when you learn and understand something new and make the right moral choice.

It sounds very flattering. It’s not a joke: the intellectual and spiritual development of the Creator depends on you — albeit to a small extent, but still. You are just a drop in the ocean; but the ocean is made of drops. They are creating it. Your role is important. However, this implies that you also have certain responsibilities. But there is always another side of the coin. In this case it is also true. You play an important role in the development of the Creator. If the completion of this stage of evolution is successful and the Creator enters a new stage of evolution, this will be your contribution as well.

Well, if you don’t help? If you, on the contrary, hinder this process? Even a little bit … Well, who will not keep a penny never shall have one. If each of us hinder the development of the Creator, it may be delayed. And in this case time is precious.

The Creator is a living creature, and every stage of his development has a natural timing period. This means that the existence of our Universe is limited in time. The Creator needs to experience a new transformation in a certain period. This becomes clearer if we compare the Creator with a butterfly. A caterpillar turns into a chrysalis, from which after a certain time comes a butterfly. But what if the processes inside the chrysalis slows down and the butterfly is born in winter? It will die. The same thing could happen to the Creator. His development in the chrysalis (our Universe) will be finished anyway: he will develop all the qualities needed for the further journey. However, in the worst case there will be no future. If it takes too long to finish this phase of development the Creator will die at the point when further transformation should take place.

Each of us is a part of this drama and is responsible for what is happening. You personally can help the Creator to reach a new level of evolution, and yet can stop him and bring him closer to death. This is a relatively small responsibility, but all together we have a great universal responsibility for the Creator’s destiny. Responsibility, the same for us humans, and for all other sentient beings from all corners of the Universe. For everyone who has ever been and will be.

Religious eschatology is designed to, among other things, to intimidate people. After the end of the world, usually drawn as a series of terrible disasters, and after it, the Judgment day (in one form or another), perpetrators will be condemned to an punishment, usually eternal. Those who are innocent, even saints, all are expecting the end of the world and the final Judgment day.

Most people behave decently only because of fear. And that’s really bad. People should be motivated by the desire for perfection, not fear, otherwise their desire is not pure. Otherwise, it would be intimidation, coercion, bargaining — anything but not a sincere desire for the good. That will be the result. Therefore, the Doctrine does not focus on the death of the Creator, does not remind of it constantly, does not turn it into a horror story.

People should lean towards the good, not because they are afraid of the punishment or death, but because they desire the good. They should not run from the bad, but towards the good. And to keep it that way they need to understand the benefits. It is much more important to long for the success of the Creator, his transformation and continuation of perfection, rather than fear the death. And the Doctrine does not intimidate his followers describing the Armageddon, does not eat away on them. It simply explains, that as particles of the Creator, each of us has his own part of responsibility for the future. It’s a simple fact: behaving properly we make the Creator’s future better; behaving badly, we make him worse. That’s all. It’s really simple. And can’t we say the same about ourselves, about the responsibility for our own future?

The main idea is that a person doesn’t exist all by himself. He is a particle of the great whole; and his decisions and actions are important not only for him. They affect the future of something much bigger than himself, or his family, or his country, or even humanity. It is important to understand this. How much time does the Creator have? A lot. It has a cushion of time. It is enough to give humans and other sentient races of the Universe, present and future, time to deal with their problems, to overcome all the negative obstacles and successfully complete their mission. The universe is still far from exhausting even half of its time, it still has billions and billions of years. There is no reason to panic. But we should not relax either. Time is money.

If you spend too much, one day you will find yourself looking at the last penny with horror. Similarly, if we don’t make every effort to help the Creator now, and thereby ourselves, if we deliberately waste time giving yourself unreasonable breaks, and so do other sentient beings, then we will simply bury him. It is necessary to find a reasonable balance: on the one hand, not to terrify yourself, that the time of the Universe will run out, and on the other hand, not to relax too much and to remember the responsibility that we have. We have enough time. It is more than enough to overcome everything we need and to achieve everything we need.

To succeed you do not need to cultivate fear in yourself.  Just have a healthy sense of responsibility, normal determination and diligence.  That is all that is necessary for each of us.  And yet understanding that this is important for the universe, not only for you.
