What is anthropotheosophy?
Anthropotheosophy is not something new. It is a continuation of what was explained in its time by hermeticism, then by the Pythagoreans, later in the teachings of the early gnostics, what was touched upon by the eminent philosophers of the ancient and medieval world. The Rosenkreuzers continued the development of these ideas. Closer to the present day are J. P. Blavatsky, R. Steiner, J. and N. Roerich. In Lithuania, these ideas were developed and spread by Vydunas. So these eminent people were born in Europe, and many of them worked in Europe. This means that all these teachings are primarily dedicated to the mentality of people living in Europe.
In every age, the same Essence has been transmitted in different ways through teachings and names that correspond to the consciousness of the people of that time. However, all these teachings contained general truths that explained the unwritten cosmic laws.
Today there are more intelligent people, people who think than ever before. It is natural that they have questions that were not arising a millennium or two ago because of simple lack of education. At that time, it was enough to tell people: “Believe”. Now that is no longer enough, because a person knows a lot and contemplates. He is no longer satisfied with unprovable dogmas claiming that “It is like this”, It is written so”, etc. This is how anthropotheosophy came into being. It is dedicated for the contemplating man of this age and also for those who are only being born now.
Anthropotheosophy is not a product of the human mind, therefore should not be associated with the person of Audrone Ilgeviciene (cosmic name – ASTREJA), who wrote these teachings in the books of anthropotheosophy, nor with any other person who has ever lived on Earth. It is connected to an entity, which many people who have lived on Earth or who are living on Earth now can be part of. All parts of that entity, no matter who or when they were, have always represented the essential signal of that entity. It is this signal that has united all those individuals, bringing their lives and works together in the one word CONSCIOUS.
This Word contains immeasurable distances and widths. Divine music can be born from it, inspiring paintings, literature that awakens consciousness. Not only Ideas are born from it, but separate systems with their own worlds as well. All this has always been spoken of in its own way by those who have been connected with that Word. Therefore the texts of anthropotheosophy are signals of the word Conscious materialized in a form comprehensible to man.
For people who are superficially familiar with a lot of material, the question arises: what is the need for anthropotheosophy if the most important truths have already been spread to the people, or, as the Indian gurus say, all the necessary books have been written?
The Spiritual Essences, who are commonly known as the World Teachers, say that this has been and will continue to be needed, because the human conscious is changing, therefore the same ideas must be communicated over and over again in new ways. It is being done through all the religions of the world and spiritual movements by sending souls prepared for this work approximately every 50-60 years. This is done because people manage to distort skillfully what has been transmitted while the transmitter still lives in the body, and to adapt it for one’s own convenience after the one transmitting is gone.
Anthropotheosophy is by no means a religion, nor is it a new direction of faith or quest of spirit, whose proponents seek to create their own institutions. Anthropotheosophy is a world view that can be relevant to any person who worships any deities and engages in any spiritual practices. This is what many of the contemplating people of this time, by themselves, already are like. They simply have not yet found a name for their world view.
Anthropotheosophy is the Divine wisdom perceivable by man (gr. anthropos – man, theos – God, sophia – wisdom). The anthropotheosophist accepts the whole cosmos, the Earth and what is on it, including himself, as a single living organism. Planets, stars, galactic centers, meteorites or comets, rocks and mountains, oceans and rivers, trees and plants, animals and birds, as well as the human being himself, are alive for him, because they belong to the same system and exist according to the same patterns: they all breathe, meaning they live, and if they live they have a conscious. Only the stages in the evolution of their conscious differ.
Anthropotheosophy is introduced so that people can learn to distinguish and sort through the rubbish of the internet and literature, so that they can learn to listen to themselves and not to those who shout louder. Hence it is bold, revealing what was previously only half-spoken about. This is what time demands. For some, it will reveal what they already suspected, and therefore explain even more deeply what is important to the seeker, while helping them not to get lost in the labyrinths of spiritual business. It may annoy others by revealing their inner essence or getting in confrontation with a self-inflicted and useful dogma.
Many phenomena inexplicable by reason are presented and explained in the books of anthropotheosophy. All this is so that the seeker would form a backbone of inner values and know the arithmetics of the working of any Evil. This is how the inner strength grows. This is how Faith, that comes through the perception of the Essence of all things, matures. A person like this becomes resilient to all direct, psychic, mental, neuro-linguistic and other manipulations.
The ancient scriptures are the wisdom behind the seven locks. It depends on those who read and understand which lock is unlocked. The first lock is for the one who recognizes the letters, the second for the one who can compose the words, and the third – for the one who can understand the text. And only from the fourth one does Perception of what is written there begins. Perception has nothing to do with dogma, because they are antipodes. So it is dogma that has opened the second lock and that is starting to open the third claims to have found the Truth… But dogma has always been the handmaiden of misperception. It defends the misperception.
Anthropotheosophy is a key that can help unlock many locks whether you want to unlock ancient scriptures or other sacred texts. But it’s not enough to put the key in that lock. Passwords are required starting with the fourth lock. They are heard only by the heart that is opening. It will not open without faith.
