At the exhibition of paintings by Sasha-Vulcan (A. Rekunenko) there occurred a certain sense of art origins.
      Art was primarily a part of a liturgy. It was a way of praying to the real God, and those who offered that prayer were priests. They were ready for the real and lively contact with the Higher making the posterior fixation of it in icons, songs, prayerful hymns or in some scenic acts. There were no authors. It was the way of praying. And nowadays "creators" in fact have no trust in Someone but themselves. Gathering full speed through mediumistic abilities they open their energetic centers and actually get into lively Zones through narcotic or vainglorious strain. They get information, then fixate it in the lower zone, assume the Revelation which energy naturally falls onto their sacral and kundalini centers, causticity and haughtiness arise.
      That's where the negativity of art is. Art cannot be separated from spiritual practice. As a matter of fact it is also the element of spiritual practice which, I'd say, dropped behind the main process. Mediumistic channel began to satiate the so called "creator". That's why art in itself is anti-spiritual. And so its bearers are sinful as a rule. Both sin as cultivating of lower zones and binge (alcohol, drugs or fornication) is considered to be a norm because otherwise they won't survive. Instead of discerning the Source of Souls which gives the Revelation in the moment of creation they decide to be genius themselves. How can one be genius on his own? We can only be in contact with someone genius. Besides they've become theurgists of our world which is very dangerous for this kind of the most progressive society on Earth indeed.
      When you receive intensive volumes of energy from above and so not to lose your mind you should either open yourself, invoke reverently or be purged through penitence so that these large volumes penetrate into the structure of your energetic centers harmlessly. Otherwise they'll start satiating sacral-kundalini and the lower nature will start raging. (That's why amidst the people of art vanity, lust, rage of pride is often a norm in their private life at first and then in their so-called art.)
      And now some words about Sasha Vulcan. A. Rekunenko is Taurus as astrological sign. Master Djwual Khul says that:.
      "The esoteric ruler of Taurus is Vulcan, the forger of metals, the one who works in the densest, most concrete expression of the natural world (from the human angle). He is the one who goes down into the depths to find the material upon which to expend his innate art and to fashion that which is beautiful and useful. Vulcan is, therefore, that which stands for the soul, the individual, inner, spiritual man; in his activity we find the key to the soul's task upon the eternal round of the wheel of life. You will remember how Hercules upon the Fixed Cross had to fashion his own weapons before he succeeded in the struggle. This is in reality a reference to the art of Vulcan who rules the inner man and guides his fashioning."
      Sasha's Vulcan (Rekunenko) painting is not bad. But the trouble is that he loves his inspiration more then Him Who he prays to in the form of this inspiration. When sacral of physical plane switches on a man gives birth to a common mortal child. When on sacral of astral plane he gives birth to emotion which quickly fades away. Loving an earthly woman he gives birth to a filling which is also a short-lived construction. In his paintings he gives birth to the children of astral and mental zones but they're mortal children too… Then when will Sasha Vulcan begin giving birth on zones of Spiritual Triad? On the zones of his eternal body? I told him about it and he replied: "Serapis and Kut Humi paint!" But didn't Serapis burn His paintings because He was free of them so as of physical plane in general? So, if treating creation like They do then have the use of physical sex, have the use of astral, love manifestation, use mental creation - please, do! - but then use it for cultivation of the primary - of initiative immortal bodies!
      There is sense of using the vehicle when it bears a child not instead of our eternal body. The same law is regarding to other manifestations. You can give birth to Atma on painting a picture. But try to burn it at once - this picture! Say: "It is Atma I have and I panted only for fixation on physical plane, now I burn it." (I said it to Sasha and Dina exclaimed: "He'll refuse Atma-state but never burn the picture!"
      A woman sticks to her love for a man and a child as if to God (that's why she bears on plane of heart, on astral plane). And a man if he made a thing is already a slave of this thing - because it's his child. Painting is the lord of Sasha Vulcan. That's where his limitedness is and where the basis of mortal seed is. A man's longing for managing a deed is his sexual desire to get in.
      In fact it is a Father-God impulse, a will influx of throw in. But on physical and mental levels - it is just the prolongation of physical plane, astral and mental. Well, yes, man creates comfort on Earth, but wars - is of his entry, military studies - his entry too. When Seraphim Sarovsky loves Mother of Tenderness he penetrates into Her too. He loves Her so, he gives himself to Her. He is - Hers. He is Monad. He is state and only after - a deed. He leans upon the eternal and uses the temporal.
