You see, the Universe is forever creating, creating, and creating. Apart from the great Guy Hirmself, we are all creators of some kind. Every time we have loving-kind thoughts, we create Heaven in a different sphere. Every time we have hatred, we create miserable hell somewhere that we don’t even know yet. Therefore, we must know God in order to create only happiness.

(Eternal life is not being born again on planet Earth?) Not necessarily. But you can return here voluntarily if you wish to, for two reasons. Number one reason is: when people don’t have enough satisfaction with the present life and want to have more experience. And number two reason is: when you are completely enlightened, or partially enlightened, and you want to come back here to help those who need your assistance – as a teacher, as a guide, as a very good friend, a very enlightened person.

But there are many, many countless, numerous other planets and other worlds that we can be born into. We might not want to choose to go back to this miserable world again. God created myriads of systems, of galaxies. We’ll be spoiled with choices.

(How can we communicate with God, and how can we see Hirm? How can we see paradise?) Yes, yes, that’s what I’m here for. Stay behind; I’ll show you. See God like this! Easier than to get a taxi. It took me ages to get a taxi here. But there’re some little instructions of dos and don’ts you should know to protect yourself. Because you have forgotten, so I have to remind you all the way.

(When and how was the Universe created?) You want me to stay in Greece forever, standing here hundreds, thousands, millions of years to explain this? I think you want to trick me to stay in Greece for a long time. (It would be a pleasure for us to keep You here.) Thank you for your hospitality.

You see, the Universe is forever creating, creating, and creating. Apart from the great Guy Hirmself, we are all creators of some kind. And each being – in other planets, on other galaxy systems - are creating, creating, every second of our existence. So, it would be a mistake to say when this Universe was created and when it will end.

Every time we have loving-kind thoughts, we create Heaven in a different sphere. Every time we have hatred, we create miserable hell somewhere that we don’t even know yet. Therefore, we must know God in order to create only happiness. Because everything we create comes back to us manyfold afterward. God doesn’t create hell. It’s the energy of the beings that interact with each other century after century, eons after eons, that create this thing and that thing. OK.

(Who does the initiations in Greece? What preparation is necessary on our behalf, and how much does it cost?) You can never pay me! I’m too expensive. How about… priceless? These things are priceless. “Priceless” means no price. It will never cost anything – the moment you see me until the moment you leave this planet. How can I charge you for something you already have in you? You have just forgotten! I’ll just show you where… there! Somebody shows you something like that will take money?

Everyone has to earn their own living, including myself. You see, so many things that I did just so that I can take care of myself, and I even have a lot, so I can share with the unfortunate people around the world, a lot more than I need. God provides everything for me. I’m only honored to serve you so that you will know the happiness that I know. Because I’m your sister. I have to let you know what’s good for you. Yes.

I will be there. Even though it’s not necessary because God’s power is everywhere, but since I am here, I’ll be there to give you the instruction.

(Ways of achieving self-knowledge?) Same thing. Stay behind. If you want, you can go out and tell my people that you want to register yourself, and we call you later, after this. Yes. Maybe you should, because it might be a long queue.

I have to tell you. You need to write out some information like language and all that, so we can serve you better. And you need some photos, so you have an ID. So later, when you want to see me personally, it’s quicker. It’s not for me. Sometimes, we have thousands of people in my places. And if you have an ID, it’s easier. For the office staff.

Yes, you can. You may go now if you want. Yes. Anyone who’d like to go out, just go. Anyone who’d like to listen, stay.

(So, this body is a temporary tool of man in this world. Should it be put aside, and should we pay only attention to the spirit, and the soul? Or should we exercise it and take care of it in order to enjoy its beauty for as long as we have it?) Yes, yes. We should take care of it because it serves a purpose. You don’t want to practice meditation, remember God when you’re sick like this, no? Take care of it, just like we take care of the car, because it drives us around.

(What do You mean by the phrase “to avoid sexual misconduct”?) That means you don’t fool around. (That’s good.) You have one partner; it’s enough. Loving connection is always good for you and for your partner. One girlfriend or one husband only is the best. Unless you already have it and they are both happy, I don’t care. You see, having sex and making love are two different things. Well, they asked a direct question. I know you’re shy, but you have to tell people. In the beginning, I was very shy. After 15, 20 years, I got used to these terms.

Since it’s the most important thing on this planet, we might as well be clear about it. See, having one partner means you really love that person; you love each other. So, when you have a physical connection with each other, you have it all on three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual. And therefore, your relationship is holy and sacred and fulfilling to your soul. If just fooling around, it will make you feel empty, dry, and sometimes guilty, and that is detrimental to your spiritual and physical health. It’s just advice.
