Agga
All materiality created by the demonic in our bramfatura (see entry). It
differs in structure from physical materiality and from siaira (see entry)
in that there are an extremely limited number of elementary particles in
agga, particles that are neither animate nor possessed of free will.
Anticosmos
Provisional designation of all those worlds created by the demonic to
supersede the Divine Cosmos. At present the anticosmos of our bramfatura
consists of the planes of Shog, Digm, Gashsharva, Sufetkh, and the
Pit.
Arimoya
The zatomis (see entry) of global culture currently under
construction.
Arungvilta-prana
An impersonal, unconscious, rarefied substance flowing in Enrof (see
entry) from body to body and providing for individual organic life. An
intuition of the existence of arungviltaprana was at the center of the
spiritual life of protoanimistic humanity and appears to be the most
ancient of revelations.
Astral body
The second of the subtle material coatings of a monad (see entry). The
shelf (see entry), the first of the subtle material coatings, is fashioned
by the monad itself. The Great Elemental Mother Earth takes part in the
creation of the astral body. She takes part in the creation of the
individual astral bodies of every being in Shadanakar (see entry): humans,
angels, daemons (see entry), animals, elementals (see entry), demons, and
even the Great Hierarchies, when the latter descend to planes where an
astral body is required. The astral body is the higher instrument of the
shelf. Concentrated within it are the gifts of spiritual vision, spiritual
hearing, spiritual smell, deep memory, the ability to levitate, the
ability to interact with beings of other planes, and the ability to
contemplate cosmic panoramas and perspectives.
Bramfatura
Almost every heavenly body possesses a
number of variomaterial planes that together form a closely integrated
system. These systems, united by the commonality of processes taking place
on their planes, are called bramfaturas. In the majority of bramfaturas in
our Galaxy the chief process uniting the planes of each is the struggle
between the Providential and the demonic forces. There are, however,
bramfaturas that have completely fallen under the sway of the demonic and
those that have freed themselves entirely of it.
Daemons
The higher humankind of Shadanakar, who abide in a sakwala (see entry) of
four-dimensional worlds with differing numbers of time streams. Daemons
proceed along a path of growth similar to ours, but they began much
earlier and are completing it with greater success. They are linked to our
humanity by a variety of threads, some of which are described in the main
text.
Digm
The abode of Gagtungr, one of the
five-dimensional worlds with an abundance of time streams.
Dingra
The karossa (see entry) of Russia.
Drukkarg
The shrastr (see entry) of the Russian metaculture (see entry).
Duggur
A plane of demonic elementals that plays a special role in the life of
humanity. The beings that incarnate in Duggur replenish their energy with
eiphos (see entry).
Egregors
Here the term means variomaterial formations that take shape over large
collectives-tribes, states, some political parties and religious
groups-from certain emanations of the human psyche. They do not have
monads but possess a volitional charge of limited duration and the
equivalent of consciousness.
Eiphos
Radiations from human lust.
Elementals
A category of God-created monads that proceed along a path of growth in
Shadanakar, primarily through the realms of nature. In the majority of
cases, however, they do not undergo physical incarnation. Since humanity
is an aspect of one realm of Nature, there are various groups of
elementals linked not to the natural elements, in the broad sense of the
word, but to the natural, elemental aspect of humanity.
Enrof
The name of our physical plane-a concept synonymous with what astronomy
calls the universe. It is characterized by three dimensions of space and
one time stream.
Eons
Here the term means universal periods
of time characterized by altered conditions in the Enrof of one bramfatura.
A change in conditions is determined by one or another degree of
manifestation of spirituality in the materiality of Enrof. What is meant
is not individual departures from the norm but the overall, predominant
conditions. Thus, during the passage of the Enrof of Shadanakar into the
second eon, the transformation of the materiality of organic matter will
take place, and during its passage into the third eon, the transformation
of inorganic matter will occur as well. In that manner, Shadanakar will
disappear from the confines of universal Enrof.
Ether body
The third of the subtle coatings of an incarnating monad. No organic life
is possible in three- and four-dimensional worlds without it.
Gagtungr
The name of the planetary demon of our bramfatura. He is three persons in
one, like certain other beings among the uppermost hierarchies. The first
hypostasis of Gagtungr is Gisturg, the Great Torturer; the second is
Fokerma, the Great Harlot; and the third is Urparp, the great implementer
of the demonic plan, who is sometimes called the Principle of Form.
Gashsharva
One of the principal planes in the demonic anticosmos of Shadanakar, a
two-dimensional world where a variety of powerful demonic beings
abide.
Gavvakh
Fine material radiations from human suffering released both during one's
life and during a descent after death. Gavvakh replenishes the energy of
many categories of demonic beings and of Gagtungr himself.
Heavenly Russia
Holy Russia. The zatomis of the
Russian metaculture and abode of its Synclite (see entry).
Hierarchy
Used in this book in two senses:
(1) a series of subordinate ranks, whether they be ecclesiastical,
military, or administrative; and
(2) different categories of varionatural, variomaterial, or spiritual
beings-for example, the angelic, demonic, elemental, or daemonic
hierarchies.
Igvas
The principal race of antihumankind, it is made up of highly intelligent
demonic beings who abide in the shrastrs, the "underside of the
world."
Iroln
The five-dimensional world where human
monads abide.
Karossas
Regional manifestations of Lilith (see entry) linked to individual nations
or suprapeoples (see entry). Karossas do not have monads, but they do
possess the equivalent of will and consciousness.
Karrokh
The densely material body, analogous to our physical body, of certain
demonic beings, for example, igvas and raruggs (see entry). It is
fashioned from agga, not siaira.
Lilith
The great elemental of humanity, at one time the spouse of the Prime
Angel, and later the fashioner of the physical flesh of humans and some
other beings. Her own being was demonized by Gagtungr long before the
emergence of humanity in Enrof.
Metaculture
The inner sakwalas of Shadanakar, which take the form of multiplaned
segments, as it were. Metacultures are composed of varying numbers of
planes, but each has at least three specific planes: the physical
plane-the abode of the corresponding suprapeople in Enrof that create the
culture; the zatomis-the heavenly land of enlightened souls of the people;
and the shrastr-the demonic underworld that counterposes the zatomis. In
addition, every metaculture includes one or another number of planes of
Enlightenment and Retribution. The nature of these worlds varies between
metacultures in accordance with the course metahistory takes in
each.
Metahistory
(1) The sum of processes, as yet outside the field of vision and
methodology of science, that take place on planes of variobeing existing
in other times streams and dimensions and that are sometimes visible
through the process we perceive as history.
(2) The religious teaching about those processes.
Monad
Here the term means a primal, indivisible, immortal spiritual entity,
which can be either God-created or God-born. The Universe is composed of a
countless number of monads and of the numerous kinds of materiality
created by them.
Monsalvat
The zatomis of the North-Western metaculture.
Mudgabr
The shrastr of the North-Western metaculture.
Navna
A God-born monad, one of the Great Sisters, and the Ideal Collective Soul
of the Russian metaculture. A provisional designation.
Nertis
One of the worlds of Enlightenment. A land of radiant calm and blessed
rest.
Olirna
The first of the worlds of ascent, the land of the dead common to all
humanity, although the landscape varies between metacultures.
Planetary Logos
A great God-born monad, the expression of God the Son, the divine mind of
our bramfatura, the oldest and first of its monads. He expressed Himself
in humanity as Jesus Christ and is overseeing preparations for the turn of
the eon. The Planetary Logos is the leader of all the forces of Light in
Shadanakar.
Raruggs
The second race of antihumankind, into which the great predators of
prehistoric times developed after countless incarnations on the planes of
demonic materiality.
Rose of the World
The future Christian Church of the final centuries, which will reunite
within itself the Christian Churches of the past and will be joined on the
basis of a free amalgamation with all religions of Light. It is in this
sense that the Rose of the World is interreligious or panreligious. Its
principal task is to save as many human souls as possible and help them
avert the danger of being spiritually enslaved by the future Antigod. The
birth of the Rose of the World among humanity will be a reflection of the
ether birth of Zventa Sventana (see entry) in one of the zatomis.
Sakwala
Here it means a system of two or more variomaterial planes closely
connected in structure and metahistory.
Shadanakar
The proper name of the bramfatura of our planet. It comprises a huge (more
than 240) number of variomaterial planes of varying dimensions and time
streams.
Shavva
Radiations of subtle materiality from certain states of the human psyche
connected with "state feelings." Witzraors, igvas, and raruggs
replenish their energy with shavva.
Shelt
The first of the material coatings of a monad. The shelf is fashioned by
the monad itself from five-dimensional materiality. It is the vessel of
the monad together with its divine properties and capacities. It is not
the monad, which remains in Iroln, but the shelf that is the self that
embarks on its journey through the lower planes in order to enlighten
them.
Shrastrs
Variodimensional material worlds connected with areas within the physical
body of the Earth known as countervailing prominences, which point to the
center of the planet. The abode of antihumankind, which is composed of two
races-igvas and raruggs. There are great metropolises in the shrastrs and
a very advanced demonic technology.
Siaira
All materiality created by the Providential powers.
Skrivnus
The uppermost of the purgatories of Christian metacultures. There are
analogous planes in other metacultures as well. Every soul, except those
that enter Olirna directly after death and continue up through the worlds
of Enlightenment, invariably descends to Skrivnus after death.
Suprapeople
A group of nations or ethnic groups united by a common, jointly created
culture.
Synclites
The hosts of enlightened human souls that abide in the zatomis of
metacultures.
Uppum
One of the planes of Retribution, the hell of the Witzraors, known as the
Rain of Eternal Misery.
Visionary leaders
Here it refers to historical figures
who have a powerful and benign effect on the fate of a people or state and
are ruled in their actions by the inspiration of hierarchies that guide
that people.
Voglea
The name of the great female demon who is to blame for the catastrophe
that overtook the humankind of the Lunar bramfatura. Having for a long
time maintained a sort of neutrality, at odds with the Providential powers
and at times with Gagtungr as well, Voglea is at present joining forces
with the planetary demon.
Witzraors
Powerful, intelligent, and extremely predatory beings that abide on planes
adjacent to the shrastrs. From the human point of view, they are demons of
state power. There are very few of them. Witzraors play a colossal,
conflicting, and double-edged role in metahistory.
World Salvaterra
The provisional designation of the summit and heart of Shadanakar, the
uppermost of its sakwalas, comprising three worlds: the abode of the
Planetary Logos, the abode of Mary, the Mother of God, and the abode of
Zventa-Sventana.
Yarosvet
A God-born monad, one of the great demiurges of humanity, and the guiding
spirit of the Russian metaculture. A provisional designation.
Yetzer hare
Here this Hebrew term means the
demonic part of every being in whose material embodiment Lilith has taken
part-that is, not only humans but Titans, igvas, raruggs, and Witzraors.
Zatomis
The highest planes of human metacultures, their heavenly lands, the
bulwark of the demiurges and national guiding spirits, and the abodes of
the Synclites. Together with Arimoya-the zatomis of the Rose of the World
now under construction-they are thirty-four in number.
Zhrugr
The Russian Witzraor.
Zventa-Sventana
A great God-born monad, an expression of Eternal Femininity. The Bride of
the Planetary Logos, She descended from the heights of the spiritual
cosmos to the upper planes of Shadanakar approximately 150 years ago and
is destined to assume an enlightened (and not physical) incarnation in one
of the zatomis of humanity. That metahistorical event will be reflected in
terrestrial Enrof in the birth of the Rose of the World.
