I AM Zarathustura, who has come to you again!

I have come on this day and I am happy that the opportunity, a Divine opportunity for our association with you through this Messenger, has continued. You probably do not know that in order for our work to continue, there needed to be proof in the physical plane that people are ready for further work. On the one hand, such proof was made by the people of Russia, the country that hosted our Messenger. People passed this test. We cannot say that everything went smoothly, but we see that our Teaching has found support in the hearts of many people in Russia. Many hearts got ignited with fire, and we, the Ascended Hosts, see this fire. That is because the Flame, the fire of your hearts, is visible to us at our level. We see each Flame in the heart of every person, regardless of where he or she is located. It is by this Flame, by these Flames, that we judge your preparedness and make the decision about future work.

On the other hand, our Messenger was simultaneously going through a very difficult test, which we call the Crucifixion. Everyone who achieves a certain level of consciousness goes through this test. This test is an inherent part of the Path. I would like to tell you a little bit about this test because each of you will be going through it, if not in this life, then in one of your future lives.

This is an inherent part of the Path. Everyone who has reached this point will be left alone with the tests and trials that beloved Jesus went through when He carried his cross to Golgotha and then underwent his Crucifixion on the cross. I would like to tell you about this trial. Every time you reach this point of the Path, you are left alone with this test. You have to move forward in such conditions where nobody understands you. People under the influence of the mass consciousness are simply unable to understand what is happening.

The following happens. The vibration of the person who has reached the Initiation of the Crucifixion rises to such an extent that the opposing forces begin to act through everyone who surrounds this person. It may seem like the entire world has become hardened in its heart, or is insane. Of course, in the time of Jesus, this trial was performed in the physical plane. All torture, abuse, and hardships appeared in the physical plane. Now, in your enlightened era, all tests have moved to the psychological plane. Of course, people perform actions that worsen the conditions for the test, but the main test is performed in the subtle plane. It creates an impression of a true Crucifixion on the cross of matter.

It is difficult for you to imagine, but this test is the most difficult one. You are not given a chance to relax for even a minute during the day or at night. Every possible and impossible situation comes to you in the physical plane as well as in the mental and astral planes.

You are constantly under the pressure of the forces that protect the illusion. The forces that supported you from our level of consciousness become isolated. We cannot render help. We can neither clean the wounds that are made to your subtle bodies nor protect you. All bodies of the subject are wounded and bleeding with Light, the Divine energy that attracts various beings of the astral plane who come to torture and receive their portion of Light.

The same is true for people. They come and take the Light that is uncontrollably leaking from the wounded aura. Only a few are able to realize what is happening. The rest do not see the meaning of what is happening at all. If the subject does not bear this test, whether by coming into opposition or becoming desperate and losing Faith and Love, then he or she is considered to have failed the Initiation of the Crucifixion.

Remember Jesus and His words: Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. It is genuinely true because people are unable to comprehend the meaning of what is happening with their outer consciousness. Each of them fulfills their role — some say the words of slander, some hammer nails into the subject’s hands and feet, some commit treachery, and others help to carry the cross.

A grand theatrical performance is being played out in the material plane. None of the Ascended Hosts have the right to interfere. The subject is left alone with the circumstances of the outer world and with the Higher part of himself or herself. There is no chance to restore the strength or to get the nectar of goodness from the Higher world. During the most difficult moments of the test, the subject’s connection with his or her Higher Self is also distorted. It is similar to a terrifying, dark night of the Spirit.

It is a horrid test. However, this test is unavoidable on the Path because it is impossible to continue on the Path without completely parting with the remnants of the ego and attachments to the physical world.

Only a few people on Earth are ready to go through this test and manage to pass it. One of these people is our Messenger.

However, I am not telling you this for you to start vain gossip or scholasticism. I am telling you this for you to also be ready to go through your own Crucifixion in the matter and completely give up all attachments.

We do not mean to scare you by the severity of the tests. We only warn you that it is an inherent part of the Path. Each of you who follow the Path shown by the Ascended Masters will sooner or later undergo your own Crucifixion in the matter and then ascend to the Top of the Spirit.

Before God trusts the most important work to you, He needs to be certain that you are ready for this work and that nothing, none of the attachments of the physical world, will become barriers in completing your work for God.

Do not try to imagine yourselves going through this test now. Remember what I have said: Only a few people on Earth are now ready to go through this test. For the rest of the people, challenges are usually associated with the return of their own karma. The Test of the Crucifixion is related to carrying the cross of planetary karma. For you to be trusted to carry this cross, you need to work a lot more on yourselves and your imperfections, material attachments, and habits.

It is typical for people to overestimate their achievements on the spiritual Path. However, as soon as you have an opportunity, you instantly forget about our Messages and your imaginary achievements and dive into the waters of illusion and debris of mass consciousness with joy and vigor.

That is why, before trying on Christ’s robes, you should be honest with yourselves and carefully analyze your lifestyle, your attachments, and your habits. I am not saying that you should give up all your imperfections and habits at once. It will probably be impossible for you. Yet, to choose the right direction and to try to adhere to it in your lives is possible for many of you who are reading our Messages.

I would like to remind you that our Messages are like a rescue line from the waters of illusion for you at this time. Accept this gift of Heaven with all the solicitude and trembling that you are capable of showing.

For now, I am parting with you. I was glad to be able to deliver to you another hidden part of our Teaching — the Teaching of the Crucifixion.
