For a clearer understanding of what we are talking about, let’s take an example-analogy from nature. Bees in a hive that has become cramped (to swarm – to divide the family into several families that will leave the hive, leaving one family in the hive), or uncomfortable, or the queen has died, for the survival of the family must build queen cells, that is, create conditions for the eggs laid by the queen to become queens (draw a cell out of wax, a comb, in which the queen will mature and grow). Depending on the shape and size of the cells that the bees draw (build) and into which the queen later lays eggs, either a queen, a worker bee, or a drone will grow from them (from the same egg)! It all depends on the conditions created by the bees for the egg (if queens are needed, they build queen cells, if worker bees – worker cells, if drones – drone cells). The egg laid by the queen is the same, and what grows from it – a queen, a worker bee, or a drone – depends on the conditions (the corresponding cell) created for it by the bees. Therefore, we, “free eggs” and at the same time worker bees-drones (we are either drones or worker bees – it all depends on our zeal and the measure of our laziness, emptiness, idleness), first of all, need to identify that there is no queen (Spirit-bearers: apostles, teachers, prophets) in the parish-family, and then, driven by need and mortal danger, we must take care of the conditions in which we, “eggs,” will become queens – life-giving Spirit-bearers (from the womb of each “egg” that has become a queen, rivers of Living Water, the Grace of the Holy Spirit, will flow)! So, these conditions for the birth of Spirit-bearers are a living Parish-Eucharist, it is in these conditions, in this cell-comb that Spirit-bearers (apostles, prophets, teachers) grow. Every person (a free “egg”) is the image of God, Hypostasis (all people are equal), therefore, is called and can become a god by grace, or can become like demons-egoists-self-lovers. It all depends on what conditions the family creates for him (we do not take exceptions into account – they always confirm the rule): either bodily-parish-Eucharistic conditions for acquiring the catholic Spirit of Communion – the necessary conditions for acquiring the Holy Spirit, or a gathering, the synagogue of Satan, where everyone is for himself – the conditions for growing not a loving personality, but a finished egoist, a holy Satan (“drone,” who will not be left to winter in the hive – all will be driven out, outside the palace of the Kingdom of God, until they repent) (see parts I and II). So, bees lay queen cells, from which queens (Spirit-bearing fathers, who will give birth to Spirit-bearers) will emerge. Until the bees build queen cells, a queen will never emerge from the egg (Spirit-bearer! Exceptions are not taken into account), only a worker bee or a drone (if bees created conditions for them – drew the corresponding cells-combs for them), or it will remain an egg if no conditions are created (see in part I about the wheat grain that lay for a thousand years in a pyramid and did not give fruit because there were no suitable conditions for growth). If “Christians” do not create a Eucharistic parish-community (family), do not lay queen cells – the only necessary condition for the birth of Spirit-bearers (fathers-apostles, teachers, prophets), then no apostles, teachers, and prophets will be born! Therefore, the only thing a steward can and should do (this is the essence of his ministry now) is to unite people on the basis of family, Eucharistic community! And all other Spirit-bearing ministries will be carried out by queens born from “eggs-parishioners,” such an egg can be a steward (presbyter, bishop). The Church continuously prays that all people become Spirit-bearers, that all know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that all become life-giving “queens,” sources of Living Water!!! This is what stewards and all students-parishioners should care about – a living Parish-Eucharist so that the Lord sends the Holy Spirit and reveals Spirit-bearing Teachers, Prophets, Fathers-Apostles! And when there are Spirit-bearers in the church-parish, it means there will be life – the sowing of “eggs” (the Seed of Eternal Life) into the cells of the heart (which in the Parish-Eucharist acquires a catholic “form,” that is, a “queen cell” – the necessary condition for the birth of a catholic personality, a Spirit-bearer, and not a “drone” – an egoist-individual, whose heart cell form is shaped by the parish, religious, individualistic, egoistic, consumer life: I, mine, for me) of each catechumen and the birth of catechumens into Eternal Life, the rebirth of the soulful into the Spiritual!
We will also answer a question-reproach: Why did the elders (venerable, canonized saints, Christians) never advise anyone to go to the parish, to become a parishioner, but blessed to confess, receive communion (the more often, the better, mainly with proper preparation), live an ascetic life according to their strength and discretion, etc.; and did not speak of the parish as something very necessary and indispensable?! First of all, let us remind you that we read books, and they were written (are written) with a specific purpose! Therefore, in books, you cannot look for answers to your (formulated by me) questions – they are not there (because the author is not talking to you, but to other specific, unique people, Hypostases, not answering your questions (at best, pointing out where to look for them (answers)); and you are just eavesdropping on their conversation). We talked about this in detail in previous parts (who said, to whom, when, for what, etc.). And the answer can be formulated as follows: because in most cases they (the venerable elders of the last times – let’s specify, for clarity, in time – XIX-XXI centuries) themselves became a miracle (as exceptions), vessels of the Holy Spirit (acquired catholic consciousness without the parish), so they advised not the church (parish, conciliar) way of acquiring the Holy Spirit, but the one they themselves walked, the one they knew from their own experience! They probably did not suspect that there is another way – “natural,” that is, they did not know about it, so they advised what they knew! But this is an exceptional way, it is not for everyone, therefore, there are very few good fruits from wandering by the ascetic individualistic instructions of the elders! Few wise apostolic men-fathers know the catholic Way (such as Apostle Paul, who never led anyone the way of the “school of catechumens” – the previous way of life in Judaism, which he himself walked – this is his unique, exceptional way). Even the apostles after Pentecost (the acceptance of the Holy Spirit, being filled with Him) made many mistakes in principle matters (whether to baptize pagans?! whether to communicate with them?! etc.). They already received great Grace, the pledge of the Holy Spirit, but did not immediately acquire catholic consciousness, they were in the Holy Spirit and at the same time did not yet understand the mysteries of the Eucharist-Church, that it is a personal reality of Trinitarian life, where there is no longer any difference or significance in the flesh: there is neither Jew nor Greek in the Church-Eucharist (neither a religious person nor an atheist), neither male nor female, neither Ukrainian nor Russian, nor… nor… from that which divides, opposes – no natural difference (individual in the theological understanding of this word – as non-integrity, fragmentation, deficiency of the individual’s nature, because in the Eucharist – the nature is Catholic, God-human, Resurrected!). So, the venerable elders (according to their measure of likeness to Christ God) did not speak about the Parish-Eucharist as a necessary condition for salvation, acquiring wholeness, catholicity, acquiring the Holy Spirit, for the following reasons: either they did not know about it or for pedagogical reasons unknown to us! And doctrinally Christians testify that the Church is the Body of Christ, Parish-Eucharist, the actualization of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Resurrection! And one more note. When the Church says: “saint,” “elder,” “venerable,” it does not mean infallibility, omniscience! We have just called all of us to sobriety, prudence, impartiality – this is the essence of what was stated above, and fanatical zealots, formalist legalists who only watch the letter and who, for reasons unknown to us, spy on our freedom in Christ, immediately grab stones to stone the “blasphemer,” “scoffer” (“blasphemer”), “heretic” who rises against the elders and saints – places himself above the saints, as claimed, lying, by the reviewers-false witnesses of our booklets, commissioned by the criminal leaders of the UOC KP (details about the criminal activities of the leaders of the UOC KP below).
