SYNTHESIS about MISA® - ch. 14: THE NEW RELIGION (2)

THE ANTICHRIST

Since in its area of action - Europe and America - the predominant religion is Christianity, the similarity between yoga and Christianity is emphasized:

- ”The testimony of a Christian yogi - Father Dechanet" (article)

- ”The Meditation according to the Hesychast Teaching” (article)

- ”Aphorisms, Thoughts and Reflections on the Mysterious Reality of Maha Shakti” (article):

”you can discover HER in an ineffable and grand way everywhere around you, She is the one who in Christianity is the Holy Spirit and – at the same time for those initiated – the Great Mother (MAHASHAKTI) whose super gigantic Maha Yoni gave birth to the Macrocosm.”

Those at MISA thus also use certain aspects of the Christian religion to attract new followers among Christians.

Another edifying example is the promotion of activities within the so-called "Week of Angels and Archangels" at the beginning of November every year, around Halloween. The pretext of the annual organization of this event is to counteract the harmful evil influences of the satanic Halloween holiday (link).

In an article from November 2005 (archive), MISA acknowledged the organization of this event on a national scale and even abroad:

”MISA Yoga School has been trying for several years to counterbalance the malefic impact of the Halloween.

That’s why it is supporting in the very period the Angels’ Week, which is a spiritual manifestation that unfolds in different towns in Romania and abroad. By this initiative unique in the whole world, thousands of people call together the grace and support of the angels’ world.”

On the MISA site map, there was in 2005 the section titled "The world of angels: awakening the heart chakra - seminar" (archive), where the organization of the event by MISA was acknowledged:

"The MISA Yoga School organizes every year in several cities in Romania and abroad the "Week of Angels", an unprecedented manifestation during which artistic performances, exhibitions, conferences and numerous meditations take place."

At the beginning of November 2006, an invitation to this event appeared on the MISA website (link):

"This week, the MISA Yoga School invites you to live together with the angels, to open your souls to the mysterious reality of these mysterious beings of light, make room for them to enter your life. It is the Week of Angels. Conferences, theater and music performances, seminars and unison meditations are organized in every city in the country, but also in many cities abroad."

MISA students paraded through cities dressed as angels, offering "free hugs" (video).

But the media began to reveal the involvement of MISA:

- "During the day - MISA angel, at night - porn demon" (link)

- "MISA's porn angels and demons" (link)

MISA responded in turn: "Upside down! Who flees from angels like the devil from incense?" (link)

In a press article "MISA launches the operation "Week of the Archangels" (link) it was said:

”This cultural-humanitarian event, which until last year was called "Week of Angels", has been organized for years by the controversial MISA sect, which has Gregorian Bivolaru as its leader.

Initially, in 2005, MISA assumed "paternity" for this event, in the following years, however, due to the problems it has with justice, press and public opinion, rented the necessary spaces for this event through various foundations and associations which it controls from the shadows.”

As a result of the exposure of MISA's involvement by the press, references to its involvement disappear from the organization's websites.

As can be seen by comparing the section "The World of Angels: Awakening the Heart Chakra - Seminar" from 2005 (archive link) with the same section from June 2010 (archive link), the following passage was removed:

"The MISA Yoga School organizes every year in several cities in Romania and abroad the "Week of Angels", an unprecedented manifestation during which artistic performances, exhibitions, conferences and numerous meditations take place."

But, while promoting Christianity in its own sense ("esoteric Christianity"), the official "dogmatic" Christianity is attacked at MISA. In a 1993 summer camp live conference, the following dialogue took place:

Question from the audience:

"I would like you to say why you chose yoga and not faith in God, although Christianity is more specific to us...?"

Gregorian Bivolaru's answer:

"...due to the dogmatism that still persists in Christianity.

There are certain techniques even in the so-called "Christian esotericism", but they are diffuse. Between the clarity and precision of the yogic teachings and the vague way of presentation that these Christian methods contain, so the yogic teaching is much clearer and more precise. It is undefiled by a whole series of censorships and evasions as happened to certain Christian testimonies."

Question from the audience:

"Jesus is regarded by Christianity as the only savior. In the Bible, this is stated. Yoga sees Liberation ultimately achieved through self-effort and possibly aided by cosmic forces different from Jesus. Is there an inconsistency here?”

Gregorian Bivolaru's answer:

"Know that there is no inconsistency.

In no case should we consider that Jesus was the only savior because, I told you and I repeat, if it were so, this would mean that God the Father would have moked everyone who was before Jesus.

The sleep of reason, in which fanatics and superstitious indulge, continues to encroach on consciences; so it appears very clearly that therefore Jesus is a divine model, but not alone, not unique. This dogmatic vision in which Jesus appears as the only savior, as the only way of access to the Godhead, know that it is the work of priests."

Over the years, Bivolaru would claim more and more often and more vehemently the "revelations in the planetary premiere", which means implicitly stating that "God has mocked of those who were before that him (Bivolaru) made these revelations".

In the article "YOGA and religion - at the confluence of spirituality, philosophy and religion” (archive) mentioned before, it is said:

”The different religions known to humanity have, one by one, proclaimed their superiority over the other religions. Religious intolerance is one of the scourges with the most devastating consequences in the history of humanity.

In Europe, for almost two millennia, the Christian Church has forcibly imposed the idea that spirituality is exclusively the domain of religion, and moreover, only of the Christian religion. In other words, dogmatic Christianity put a monopoly on God and tried for two millennia to convince people that the Church is the only who is allowed to speak about God and lead people to God.

The dogmatic attitude of the Christian Churches (Catholic and Orthodox) had a disastrous effect on European spirituality. The Church has totally failed to provide all people with teachings, a system of beliefs and methods to fulfill their fundamental spiritual aspirations."

The statements about Jesus mentioned before do not represent an isolated opinion, released in a moment of exaltation.

In an article entitled "YOGA: a path to Infinity" (archive), Bivolaru declares:

”The mistake made by the vulgar, profane Christians was that of covering this sublime truth of the “Unique Self” or “I am” for 20 centuries, by presenting Jesus Christ as a cult object most often, maintaining the illusion that there was only one man, through all of time, who was way above everyone else, and he was the One and Only Son of God.

This false humility is considered by the great Christian sage SAINT SILOUAN the ATHONITE to be “sheer” stupidity. He also stated that true humility is to acknowledge that Jesus Christ or the Son of God is also the expression of our Divine Spirit, which truly exists in each and every one of us.”

In reality, one cannot find anywhere such a statement that Bivolaru puts in the mouth of the saint Siluan, but on the contrary!

St. Siluan could not have affirmed that Jesus is not the Only Son of God but only a son like us, because he would have contradicted the words of the Apostles' Creed (link):

”I believe in God the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.”

In the "spirit" of Bivolaru's ideas, one could declare the Creed to be a prayer forcibly introduced by priests at the Ecumenical Councils, but this idea is nullified by the quotations from the Holy Gospel according to John (link), where it is repeatedly said:

1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, He has made clear what God is.

3:16 For God had such love for the world that He gave His only Son, so that whoever has faith in Him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

3:18 The man who has faith in Him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in Him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

Bivolaru himself once declared, in the early years of the course, that, of all creatures, only in the case of Jesus Christ, His Individual Atman Self is actually the Self of God the Father, i.e. Jesus is God the Father directly manifested. So, either he forgot that he said this, or he said so to manipulate, and later he changed the version because his interests demanded it.

All kinds of theories about Jesus' journey to India and Tibet have been promoted at MISA.

First, works of fiction were promoted, such as "Great Initiates" by Édouard Schuré and "The Life and Teachings of the Masters" of Baird T. Spalding.

Then there were also articles based on the accounts of other authors (archive).

Thus, followers were led to believe that Jesus learned and practiced Hindu yoga and Tibetan doctrines, therefore they need not fear that they would deviate from the Christian path.

In these articles, among other things, it was said about Jesus (Buddha Issa) that "he secretly left his father's house, left Jerusalem and traveled eastward with a caravan of merchants to perfect himself in the 'Divine Word' and to study the laws of the great Buddha."

This "esoteric mixture" is well illustrated by the invocations made sometime at MISA, which began in December 2012 on the occasion of the transition of the Earth into the New Era (The Great Translation of December 21) and were made several years in a row on the occasion of the New Year (after which it was abandoned, with the deflation of the Mayan myth of the Great Leap):

- the first part of the invocations was addressed to God the Father, the Virgin Mary, Jesus, the angelic hierarchies, the King of the world in Shambala, to Krishna (archive)

- the second part of the invocations was addressed to the Great Cosmic Powers, to the beneficial extraterrestrial civilizations etc.

MISA's attack on Christianity continued by planting the seeds of doubt about the authenticity of Scripture. Bivolaru stated many times that the New Testament and early Christian doctrines were altered by priests, instead presenting as "authentic sources" all kinds of theories or interpretations received through "revelation".

In the first years, he had started the presentation and commentary of the "Gospel of Thomas" (link), a project that he abandoned, however, after commenting (for over 9 hours) on only 40 utterances, out of the 114.

After a break of a decade, Bivolaru returns with the collection in 12 volumes of the "Great Gospel of John", "revealed by divine dictation by Jesus Christ to Jakob Lorber", on the cover of which he appears as translator.

Volume 7 of the series "inspires" Bivolaru "the formidable secret of the Divine Attributes, in a planetary premiere", for the revelation of which he establishes a personal Church, the "Theophanic Charismatic Movement", which includes students selected from MISA.

During his conferences on the oath, Bivolaru launched a new "revelation": a newly published book entitled "Primordial Gospel" contains, for the first time in the world, the teachings of Jesus from a secret manuscript, called "The Source" or "Manuscript Q", which would have belonged to the apostle Peter.

Bivolaru claims that the secret manuscript entitled "The Source" contains "the teachings of Jesus without additions" and that "obviously we have to do with some additions which were afterwards made by the apostles".

In reality, as can be seen from a simple check (link), ”the Q source (also called Q document(s), Q Gospel, or Q; from German: Quelle, meaning "source") is a hypothetical written collection of primarily Jesus' sayings.

Q is part of the common material found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke but not in the Gospel of Mark. According to this hypothesis, this material was drawn from the early Church's oral gospel traditions.

The relationship among the three synoptic gospels goes beyond mere similarity in viewpoint. The gospels often recount the same stories, usually in the same order, sometimes using the same words. Scholars note that the similarities between Mark, Matthew, and Luke are too great to be coincidental.

If the two-source hypothesis is correct, then Q would probably have been a written document. If Q was a shared oral tradition, it is unlikely that it could account for the nearly identical word-for-word similarities between Matthew and Luke when quoting Q material.

Similarly, it is possible to deduce that Q was written in Greek. If the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were referring to a document that had been written in some other language (such as Aramaic), it is highly unlikely that two independent translations would have exactly the same wording.

If Q existed, physical copies of it have since been lost. Some scholars, however, believe it can be partially reconstructed by examining elements common to Matthew and Luke (but absent from Mark).”

So, no physical manuscript has been discovered that was the source of the Gospels, it is only assumed to have existed. Also, there is no evidence that it belonged to the apostle Peter.

Bivolaru denies the authenticity of the known Gospels which are based on concrete documents (because they do not correspond to his opinions), instead he presents as "authentic" some hypothetical writings which suit his own interests.

And his interest is weakening the authority of the Scriptures, in order to be able to insinuate his own ideas much more easily:

”It should not surprise you that later additions or elaborations crept in, and it is not Jesus' fault that some human beings inserted whole dissonant phrases, which were obviously not spoken by Jesus.

On the subject of certain embarrassing details, I would point out in passing that, at the present time, there is definite and irrefutable evidence – which are based on verified historical facts – and which shows that Jesus undoubtedly had a brother! Exactly what you hear: Jesus had a brother!

Obviously, this does not exclude that, when Jesus was born, the Virgin Mary was a Virgin but, after the birth of Jesus, Mary - the mother of Jesus - gave birth to another child who was and remained the brother of Jesus.

About this embarrassing episode for Christian dogma, it was well known in the Vatican for a long time and one of those who knew this secret was Leonardo da Vinci."

... and probably Dan Brown, too...

”Verifiable historical facts that cannot be dispelled" are as solid as the Q Manuscript, which exists with certainty, only nobody has it.

"When she conceived and gave birth to Jesus, Mary remained a Virgin but, after that, it didn't work for her anymore!"

Bivolaru-All-Knowing continues apotheotically:

"Regarding the gospels that appear in the New Testament, you must know that in each of them, here and there, additions and elaborations were made later.

Perhaps what I am telling you will surprise you, but the only Gospels that do not have further additions and elaborations are the Gospel of Thomas which is unfortunately apocryphal, and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, which is very little known and unfortunately incomplete, several pages are missing from it."

"Several pages are missing from it, but I know that there was no intervention in those either!”

In the conference on oaths, Bivolaru the Humble emphasized:

"Please consider that everything I have told you now is not intended to reduce the value or denigrate Jesus, because he is a divine being, a true divine model to whom we must constantly refer."

This is how he reported, full of humility, in the conference "Adventures in Shambala - part 1":

”Thus, the priceless revelations of Jesus Christ that He exposed as clearly as possible in his divine Word on the mountain, anticipated about 50% the mystery of the divine attributes, then designated by Christians as the Beatitudes. Later, within this esoteric spiritual school, the good God revealed to us the formidable fundamental secret of the divine Attributes."

In fact, it was Jesus Christ who "revealed" to him the rest up to 100%, through "divine dictation" to the "intermediary" Jakob Lober (link), but the New Messiah pretends to have forgotten that.

The indefatigable Bivolaurolsson continues:

"There is, we could say, a very little-known esoteric Christianity, which we will aim - with God's help - to make accessible to everyone within the Theophanic Charismatic Movement that was structured with God's help in our country."
