Question: Mr. Tolev, what is Rhodope Mountain in the Way of Wisdom Teaching?
Vaklush Tolev: You are asking me whether it is a sanctuary, a magic idol or a real symbol? In short, you want to know why we conduct our annual post-council seminars in this mountain?
Till now in the human culture there are indisputable real symbols: mountains, rivers, springs – with still smoldering embers and a sacral respect.
What is Olympus? Is it just an abode of gods or is it a culture of imagination that coined the byword Olympian?
What are the mountain Mandala or the river Ganges for Vishnu and Krishna?
What is Sinai – the birth womb of the Ten Commandments?
What is Ararat?
What is the mountain Eleon?
What is the mountain Tabor – the Transfiguration, one of the greatest sacraments?
What are the Castalia and Parnassus – the spring of muses and the home of poetry?
For us, the Rhodope mountain is a home-sanctuary, inhabited by great gods as Dionysus, by man-gods – Orpheus, Zalmoxis; cultures, which now reveal its grandeur to the world with anxiousless dignity.
Let us share that now Rhodope is not only a mountain of hearty hospitality, as I called it, but is our real symbol to read and write the Book of Life, which the Way of Wisdom Teaching named and accepted as an altar of the sacrament – man is a god in evolution with a new moral ordinance:
That there is no evil, there is non-evolved good;
That there is no enemy, there is condeitor;
That we should not accept the other’s guilt for our innocence!
Over there the Children of the Day with insight and predestination become liberators, not apostles!
Over there the life in the Mountain renews them and they study the sacrament Service without oneself!
We do not assure them whether God has been coming to this mountain!
We just know that God has not left!
