Universal Laws (From Light to Light III) by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This third volume investigates the spiritual and physical laws that govern the entire universe and humanity. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan presents these laws as the framework through which every person born into the world can find an opportunity for further evolution. He emphasizes that the life given to us is an immediate opportunity for God-revelation and salvation “here and now,” rather than a state to be waited for after death.

The author explores the Law of Vibration, explaining that because everything is formed by energy, our thoughts, words, and deeds possess specific vibrations that resonate with universal energy. These vibrations “activate” corresponding conditions in our lives, leading to the various good or bad situations we experience. The book also attempts to reconcile biblical accounts with scientific theories, such as relativity, to show that these different views of reality can coexist without deviation from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Furthermore, the text discusses the annihilation of the “Ego” as a necessary step for spiritual resurrection. The author uses metaphors like the “death of a grain of wheat” to illustrate how the individual must let go of their limited personality to produce many seeds and find eternal life. The book concludes with the idea that heaven is not a distant location but a state we create on earth through our own spiritual awakening.

Unique Quote: “Heaven is here on earth, if through our ‘awakening’ we create it here and now.”

 

Meditation by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This book is a specialized compilation of sections related to meditation, drawn from Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan’s first three “From Light to Light” publications. It is designed to offer a comprehensive guide on the reasons for the practice and the specific means of achieving its purpose. The author brings together disparate threads from his earlier works to create a focused curriculum for the “spiritual traveler” seeking a deeper connection with the divine.

The text defines meditation as a state of “conscious deep sleep,” contrasting it with the standard unconscious state of regular rest. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan explains that as we move through different levels of consciousness—from waking to deep sleep—we encounter various layers of reality. Meditation allows the individual to navigate these levels with awareness, facilitating a “God revelation” within the self.

Finally, the book presents meditation as a vital tool for self-education and understanding the true purpose of life. By collecting information on Kundalini energy and the realization of the “I AM” presence, the author provides a practical methodology for spiritual growth. He argues that through meditation, the “pure heart” is developed, leading to the eventual sanctification of the individual.

Unique Quote: “Deep sleep is unconscious meditation, but meditation is conscious deep sleep.”

 

Mystical Interpretations from the Gospels – Part I by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This work provides a mystical and symbolic analysis of significant events from the life of Jesus, moving beyond literal readings to find deeper spiritual truths. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan uses his unique perspective to weave “disparate threads into a cohesive whole,” enriching the reader’s mind and spirit. The book encourages a shift in focus from the historical record to the internal spiritual reality that these events represent.

The book highlights how the rituals and sacraments of the Armenian Apostolic Church serve as a sequential path toward perfection. By analyzing events such as the Last Supper and the Resurrection, the author guides individuals toward a more profound understanding of their spiritual duties and the path of righteous living. He argues that these events are not just historical occurrences but metaphors for the soul’s development.

The ultimate goal of this volume is to lead the reader into a new understanding of spiritual life. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan emphasizes that Jesus’ authoritative personality and reputation for healing are keys to unlocking the “knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God”. The book serves as an approachable exposition intended to help the faithful realize their potential to perform great works through belief.

Unique Quote: “His contribution will inevitably lead the reader into a new understanding of spiritual life.”

 

Mystical Interpretations from the Gospels – Part II by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This volume focuses on the parables spoken by Jesus, categorizing them into stories that reveal God’s purpose for creation and those that explain internal spiritual revelation. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan analyzes these well-known stories through a mystical lens, looking for the “hidden message” that reconciles biblical teaching with known science. The parables are presented as indirect teachings that require a higher level of consciousness to fully comprehend.

The author links these biblical teachings with universal forces, identifying love as a fundamental “gravity” that governs all phenomena. He argues that the parables, such as the Good Samaritan, are designed to test the reader’s character and their capacity for compassion. The book emphasizes that proper conduct in life is the highest form of God-worship and the true path to salvation.

A central theme of the work is that the ultimate test of faith is found in how one treats others in their daily life. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan posits that every interaction is an opportunity to express the Christ within. He encourages readers to move beyond a “shopping list” style of prayer and instead prostrate their egos to the divine presence.

Unique Quote: “How we treat others is the ultimate test of our love for Christ.”

 

Mystical Interpretations from the Gospels – Part III by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This third part of the series continues the mystical exploration of the Gospels by focusing specifically on the direct sayings and advice of Jesus Christ. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan seeks to stimulate deeper spiritual inquiry by uncovering the superlative and metaphorical meanings hidden within Jesus’ words. The book uses these direct teachings to challenge the prejudices of the reader’s mind and lead them toward a more authentic faith.

The author employs intentional repetition throughout the volume to help these spiritual truths register in the reader’s subconscious mind and eventually change their nature. He notes that Jesus Himself used repetition in His deeds and proverbs to ensure His disciples understood His message. This method is designed to move the reader from a state of “hearing but never understanding” to a state of true spiritual clarity.

A major focus of the book is the annihilation of the Ego, which the author describes as “crucifying it on the cross” so the Christ within can resurrect. He argues that human ignorance often leads people to destroy the gifts God has freely given them. By understanding these direct sayings, the individual is encouraged to re-establish “paradise on earth” through a higher level of consciousness and selfless behavior.

Unique Quote: “Our duty is to annihilate the ‘Ego’ by crucifying it on the cross, so that the Christ within can resurrect.”

 

Mystical Interpretations from the Gospels – Part IV by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This book provides in-depth mystical interpretations of the Gospels of John and Thomas, exploring the nature of reality and the divine Truth. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan contrasts the limitations of traditional Newtonian physics with the revelations of quantum physics, viewing the entire creation as “God’s body”. The work suggests that truly knowing the world means experientially knowing the divine singularity underlying all illusory multiplicity.

The author explores the relationship between the macrocosm and the microcosm, showing how universal laws are repeated within the individual. He references Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and sub-atomic particles to explain how the physical world is impermanent and responsive to human consciousness. The book emphasizes that spiritual emancipation involves overcoming the ego to become one with God.

Finally, the text examines the ability of the human brain to think, act, and “become” as a means of achieving eternal life. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan uses scientific analogies, such as “rewiring” the connection between the mind and the heart, to describe the spiritual journey. He argues that what an individual does for others lives on as a legacy, while what they do only for themselves dies with them.

Unique Quote: “The entire creation is God’s ‘body’. The incarnation of God is His Son, the Christ and His various expressions.”

 

Spiritual Reflections by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This book is divided into a collection of repurposed prologues and epilogues from Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan’s earlier works and a series of new essays. It covers diverse topics such as the nature of miracles, the difference between belief and faith, and the relationship between mathematics and life. The author’s purpose is to compare the religious instructions of his childhood with the truths he discovered through personal research.

The reflections are designed to help the reader navigate the “inner world” and understand Christianity more deeply. The author uses metaphors like a fish in an aquarium to explain how humans are often unaware of the “huge ocean” of spiritual reality that surrounds them. He emphasizes that the type of life we lead—our thoughts, words, and deeds—is the ultimate expression of the Christ within us.

True wisdom is presented as the supreme treasure, far more valuable than material wealth, which cannot purchase health or eternal bliss. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan argues that when the value of something is diminished, humans tend to increase the adjectives indicating its greatness. The book encourages readers to yearn for wisdom, which brings all other things in its wake.

Unique Quote: “Yearn for the supreme treasure, wisdom, you get all else.”

 

I AM – To Know God by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

The central focus of this book is the realization of the “I AM” presence, or the divine identity within man. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan examines both the Old and New Testaments to guide readers toward finding an experiential knowledge of God’s presence within themselves. He characterizes the body as a “container” and the individual soul as the “content,” emphasizing the need to care for both.

The text explores how modern scientific research is shifting its focus from the material cosmos to the study of consciousness. The author suggests that humans are “souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments” and that the physical world is a persistent illusion. He posits that science will eventually provide proof for the spiritual realities that Jesus demonstrated through His life.

Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan argues that the true value of a human being is found in the degree to which they have attained liberation from the “self” or the “Ego”. He uses the analogy of a car to explain that while we must maintain our physical instruments, we must align ourselves primarily with our spiritual nature. The book is dedicated to the author’s late wife, Ayda, whose memory served as a catalyst for much of his spiritual writing.

Unique Quote: “We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”

 

The Bliss of Death by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This book investigates the physiological and spiritual processes of dying, referencing scientific studies on brain activity during the transition. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan argues that science and religion do not contradict each other on this topic but rather confirm the soul’s experience of leaving the physical body. He presents death not as an end but as a transition to a deeper level of consciousness, where the “sleeper” awakens.

The author incorporates external wisdom, including the “four laws of a shaman,” to support his views on the perfection of the soul’s journey. These laws emphasize that every person we meet and every event we experience is necessary for our learning and progress. The book argues that nothing in our lives could have happened otherwise and that every situation is perfect, even if the “Ego” resists it.

The work is a culmination of years of the author’s heaven-bound contemplations and is dedicated to the memory of his wife and parents. It seeks to remove the fear of death by explaining it as the “fourth level of consciousness”. Ultimately, it encourages readers to live a life that allows them to reach the end contented and at peace with their conscience.

Unique Quote: “What happened was the only thing that could have happened and it had to have been like that so that we could learn that lesson and move on.”

 

The Path of Perfection & What is Evil? by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This work combines previously published material with new insights to explore the path toward spiritual perfection as commanded by Jesus in Matthew 5:48. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan addresses the nature of evil, examining various historical and philosophical perspectives to determine if evil truly exists as a separate force. He concludes that because God is life and consciousness—which represent goodness and love—evil must be an illusion created by humanity.

The author explains that perfection is subjective and must be measured against personal and culturally changing criteria. He argues that every individual is born to be exactly who they are, which is “perfect” in their own specific purposes. The book encourages readers to shed false belief systems to realize God-revelation within themselves.

The text emphasizes that true peace is found with Christ, and it is man’s duty during his earthly life to reveal that divine presence. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan uses metaphors like a “ladder to the clouds” to represent the sequential steps of the spiritual path. He concludes that the second life begins only when one realizes they only have one opportunity to achieve perfection.

Unique Quote: “We are all born to be who we are, ‘PERFECT’ in our own lives and purposes.”

 

The Dream & The Dreamer by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This book uses the metaphor of dreams to explain the nature of human existence, suggesting that our waking life is also a form of a dream. By understanding the “below” (the physical dream), Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan argues that one can infer truths about the “above” (spiritual reality). The text incorporates scientific concepts like fractal theory to show how the “whole” is repeated in its parts, a reality often hidden by unnecessary physical distractions.

The author encourages readers to recognize the illusory nature of the external world as a necessary first step toward acquiring knowledge of the “inner world”. He suggests that the world of matter is but a dream compared to the true awakening of the soul. The work aims to summarize and collect these metaphorical meanings to provide a single, focused topic for the reader’s contemplation.

Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan emphasizes that quotes and metaphors have the power to illuminate the path through the intricate tapestry of life. By focusing on the “dreamer” within, the individual can transcend the limitations of the physical self. The book serves as a guide for navigating life’s illusions to find the “Reality of Life” which is life itself, beginning neither in the womb nor ending in the grave.

Unique Quote: “According to this theory [fractals], the whole was repeated in its parts. This reality was hidden from us by many unnecessary parts.”

 

Spiritual Reflections II by Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan

This second volume of reflections compiles and organizes themes from Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan’s previous books for easier reference and self-education. It focuses on the type of life one leads through thoughts, words, and deeds as the ultimate expression of the Christ within. The author uses repetition as a deliberate tool to help register these spiritual ideas into the reader’s subconscious mind.

The work explores the concept of the “Self” in three ways: the Higher Self (Christ within), the positive pole of individuality, and the “Ego”. Dr. Vahe Sivaciyan provides additional information on the “path of perfection” and the proper way to pray, contrasting “shopping list” prayers with true communion with God. He expresses his profound gratitude to the Armenian Apostolic Church for the knowledge he has received.

Ultimately, the book serves as a summary of the author’s journey toward understanding the spiritual path. He emphasizes that without God’s help, it would be impossible to be privy to such profound information and understanding. The reflections are intended to support the reader in fulfilling their duty in this life through proper conduct and God-worship.

Unique Quote: “The purpose of this book, as it was for all my previous books, was self-education.”
