Forward by Jack Sarfatti
My father, Hyman Sarfatti, was born in Macedonia in 1914. His father came
from Italian Sephardim said to be descended from the French Merlin Rashi de
Troyes. He spend his infancy in a cave escaping the battles between the
Turks and the Bulgarians not unlike what is happening now in Bosnia.  My
Aunt Esther says that my father as an infant kept asking her in Ladino "Yo
quero agua! Yo quero agua!" Esther repeatedly brought Hyman water from the
well. He spat it out every time and kept asking "Yo quero agua! Yo quero
agua!" My father explains his odd behavior by saying that he is an "old
soul" who was fully conscious at his birth. He was asking for the
enlightenment of the "spiritual waters" not the "material waters".


The Doctrine of the Supremacy of the Soul
by
Hyman Sarfatti

The Saints or Sons of God in all ages incarnate on Earth solely for the
purpose of teaching and guiding human beings to the spiritual path back to
God and His Kingdom, our true and Eternal Home.

The Soul within us is part and parcel of the Lord and of the same essence.
True religion implies the spiritual path which takes us back to God and
becomes One with Him.  The term Yoga means exactly that - Union with God.

Spirituality is the common denominator of all religions.  Over time, more
importance is given to ritual prayers, ceremonies, religious holidays and
dogmas, than to the real teachings of their respective Spiritual Masters.
They all speak in different words essentially the same spiritual truth,
which is the common heritage of all religions.  Unfortunately, the
followers of every religion interpret their respective teachings in their
own way, delete and interpolate them, and build organizations and churches
that emphasize ritual prayers, ceremonies, dogmas and holiday celebrations.
Thus, the followers and their priesthood forget or ignore the real
teachings and disiciplines, becoming grossly materialistic.

God-realization or Self-realization implies the merging of our individual
souls back into God, or becoming One with God, without at the same time
losing our identity as a part of God or a Son of God.  This life in
Eternity (i.e., Eternal Life) knows no death, decay or sorrow.  The life
with God is the ever-lasting and ever-renewing self-affirmation of fully
conscious illimitable divinity.

This is the purpose of the spiritual path; to gain spiritual freedom and
attain Eternal Life, our ultimate destination.  We must yearn to attain
God, the One and only Reality.  Nothing is real but God.

How to become spiritual? - by fasting, prayer and meditation.  Only supreme
faith in God can assure abiding peace.

Our bodies are the Temples of the Living God.  We can only find God or
realize God within our own bodies.  Meditation, fasting and prayer is the
process of involution by which we gain the experiential knowledge of God
and finally merge into Him.  This is the true meaning or definition of
Salvation and Eternal Life in God, or Cosmic Consciousness.  This is the
true inward spiritual journey or spiritual path.  Here is where we find
true peace of mind, satisfaction and happiness.

Our search for these things is generally in worldly achievements and
worldly possessions.  The more we run after these outer things, the more we
generally become frustrated and unhappy.  The worldly materialistic life
degenerates into an endless round of ephemeral pleasures and pain.  The
world is really an illusion.  The only one and true Reality is God and the
life in God, with God and only for the sake of God.  The world and the
worldly life has no intrinsic worth.  It is only a stage or a school in
which we learn - a learning process by which we learn to differentiate
between the unreal and the real.

After many incarnations we finally reach the one in which we start on the
spiritual path.  If we do not attain God in that particular one, then we
come back on Earth and continue from where we left off in the previous
incarnation until we reach the Goal - the highest prophecy stored for us in
the archives of the Almighty.

God is the Goal, and we go from unconcious God to conscious God.  We are
all God - everyone of us - in the process of becoming God1.  This is the
whole reason, the one and only reason for the Creation.  If every soul in
the universe attained God-Consciousness tomorrow morning at 9am, then the
whole universe, known and unknown, would literally disappear at that
moment.  God's purpose would be fulfilled and their would be no reason for
the universe to exist.  God is the beginning and the end of everything.
Nothing exists outside of God - not even a single atom or molecule.

In the beginning only God existed - no universe, nothing.  Then God spoke
the Word AUM, the spiritual sound and the whole universe came into
existence.  As the Bible says "In the beginning was the Word and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God." Scientifically speaking, the Big Bang
theory is absolutely correct.  The universe came into existence at the AUM-
Point - the Word of God.

Buddha's state of Nirvana means release from birth and death or Salvation
or God-Realization through the Eight-fold Path to Perfection.  It is the
same goal of Christ or Krishna or of any other great Saints.  God is the
Goal and the only Reality.  There is only one truth and only one God.  We
must release our soul from the mind-heart and the senses in order for the
soul2 to merge into God.
1 involution
2 to free it from bondage.
