      Introduction by the Translator

      The Doctrine of Inner Light is a small philosophical and meditative work on the subject of the inner life. The author describes his search for inner freedom by means of meditation. We become acquainted with the fascinating inner travels in the invisible metaphysical worlds, the growing awareness of the radiant nature of the human soul and the practice of the accumulation of inner gold, which brings primordial youth and beauty back to the soul.

      The book is illustrated with alchemical engravings, which represent all the stages of The Great Work up to its completion: the cultivation of the alchemical garden. These engravings might be the key to a deeper understanding of the meditations.

      The reader will also find a supplement with the description of the breathing technique of concentration on the inner light and some other breathing techniques.

      Introduction by the Author

      Once in one of my conscious dreams I met a Master, who initiated me into the doctrine of inner light. Immersed daily in my meditation, I refined the radiance of my essence through contact with the Spirit of the Master, who imparted the following knowledge:

      ‘The idea of opening up the light origin of man will be the most important one of the third millennium. Every human being in the manifested universe is a radiant spark of the Absolute, Who installed His own divine nature in it and commanded His sons to return to His bosom, and to co-create in the universe together with Him. Everyone can open up his or her divine origin, hidden in the depth of the human soul. Moreover, when man became aware of his inner nature, which is a radiant spark of the Absolute, he will be able to return to His Father’s bosom, to the spiritual worlds of light, from which he has fallen into the manifested universe.

      We are the sons of light, we are the sons of the sun. Hundreds of incarnations ago the Absolute charged the advanced human souls with the mission to descend into the manifested worlds and to elevate these to the worlds of radiant spirit. Millions of enlightened souls entered the darkness of the night, the pearl spheres of the manifested worlds, and scattered like leaves in the limitless Universe, the space of the invisible Spirit.

      The sorrow of these souls who had to leave the divine worlds, mixed with the pain of existence on the millions of manifested planets, which accomplish the circles of life in the golden light of colourful suns. However, many of these souls - immersed in the illusory existence of the manifested Universe - forgot their divine nature.’

      The Master taught me the basics of the breathing technique, which brings forth the inner light in man, and I practised what he had taught me.

      After my practices, a radiant origin awoke in me, and this changed my entire life. During conscious dreaming I used to meet my mentor, who guided me on the path of light, refining my practices. Long after, he allowed me to transmit this knowledge to the world, to those who wish to evolve their inner light. The practice of inner light is a direct Path of ascension towards the divine nature of man.

      The theme of inner light appears in various spiritual traditions as well as in the main religions of the world. Saints in the Christian religion are represented on icons with a shining nimbus, which shows that they opened up their light origin as a result of constant prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ.

      Buddhism says that he who experiences the highest nature of the mind as a void of radiant light, reaches enlightenment and liberation from the Wheel of Samsara.

      Tibetan practices teach how to obtain the body of light and how to transit into a heavenly dwelling. The great teacher Padmasambhava in his treatise Bardo Thodol, known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, tells about reaching liberation after death and transition into the radiant worlds. Namkhai Norbu, teaching the practice of Dzog-chen, says that the ultimate purpose is to transform the physical body into a body of light and thus reach complete liberation.

      According to Zen teachings the final goal of man
