Les paroles ont un goût.

Les paroles ont un goût. Tu dois goûter ta parole car celle-ci sort du coeur à travers la bouche, dans la salive, et ensuite elle est donnée comme un fruit qui a bon goût ou qui n'a pas bon goût. Tu dois voir que dans ta parole il y a une saveur. La parole qui a bon goût est la parole qui vient du coeur pur, qui est avec l'âme ; si ton coeur est avec ton âme, ta parole aura une âme.

All of Him

That force that holds electrons in their orbit and planets in theirs, explodes incessantly within the stars above and is the darkness that fills the empty space—-that force is a single whole and it is God.

It is not all of God. It is an expression of God. All of it could disappear in a single instant, and for Him nothing would have changed.

Where is it that you can find all of God? Wherever He wishes to be found.

Right now, He hides within some scattered branches placed upon an autumn hut.

‘The Father and I are one’

"When Jesus said, ‘The Father and I are one’, he was summarizing

the greatest mystery of religion. And one day we too must be able

to say the same words.

Some will say, ‘Yes, but we’re not Jesus. He was the son of God,

whereas we are sinners.’ The Church has tried to make Jesus the

equivalent of God himself, the second person of the trinity, the

Christ, a cosmic principle, thus creating an infinite distance

between him and human beings. But is this the truth? Jesus

himself never said such a thing; he never claimed to be

essentially different from other people. He said he was the son

of God, but he did not claim this divine lineage for himself

alone but emphasized the divine nature of all humans. Otherwise,

what would be the meaning of the phrases ‘Our Father in heaven,’

‘Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect’ and also ‘The one

who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact,

will do greater works than these’?"

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

The number 2

"From the point of view of Initiatic Science, the number 2

represents the 1 polarized as positive and negative, masculine

and feminine, active and passive. As soon as there is

manifestation, there is partition, division. In 1 there can be no

creation, because no exchanges are possible. In order to manifest

and make itself known, 1 has to divide. Unity is the privilege of

God himself, his exclusive domain. In order for God, the 1, to

create, he had to become 2.

In order to create, therefore, God projected himself beyond

himself by polarizing, and the universe was born from the

existence of these two poles. The positive pole exerts an

attraction on the negative pole, and vice versa. This is the

mechanism of action and reaction, which activates and sustains

the movement of life. The cessation of this movement would bring

stagnation and death, a return to the state of original

non-differentiation. The first lines from the book of Genesis

reveal that creation proceeded through successive separations. On

the first day of creation, God separated the light from the dark.

On the second day, he separated the waters above from the waters

below. On the third day, he separated the waters from dry land.

The 1 is an entity closed in on itself. To leave this state, this

entity must become 2. "

Explosive Joy

Joy is an overflowing, an explosion. Something enters a person's life for which he could never be prepared and his previously tidy self erupts in song, dance and joy.

Approach the Divine with a calculated mind and there is no window for joy. Embrace the infinite beyond mind and let joy surprise you.

Le goût

Le goût est ce qui cherche quelque chose d'autre, sans arrêt. C'est pour cette raison que tu manges : toujours pour goûter. En réalité, tu vas vers la perfection du sens du goût, qui est la soif d'un monde supérieur : vouloir goûter et expérimenter une conscience supérieure. La perfection du sens du goût est la soif du savoir qui éclaire et du feu qui agit, la soif à la fois de voir et de faire apparaître. Tu veux voir un monde supérieur, non pas avec tes yeux, mais en le goûtant, et tu veux le réaliser.

Dance with the Other

As a mother and the baby she holds in her arms, as a father and child, as two in courtship or in marriage, so we are with Him. One chases, the other runs away. One runs away, the other chases. One initiates, the other responds. The other initiates, the one responds. It is a dance, a game, a duet that plays as surely as the pulse of life.

Until one falls away and becomes estranged. Then the other looks and says, "This is not an other. We are one and the same." And so, they return to each other's arms once again.

It is a great mystery, but in estrangement, there is found the deepest bond.

Time Machine

If you could travel back in time, what could you change? The world, its past and its present all belong to the Creator. All is as He wills it to be.

Perhaps you could replay some crucial scenes and distance yourself from the mess that occurred. Perhaps you could jump in and grab credit for some of the good.

But for that, you don’t need a time machine. All you need is to stand right where you are and say, “I messed up. I lost my chance. I learned my lesson and now I will do things differently.”

You will change yourself. You will change your past. You will say, “I am no longer the person who lived in that past.”

In fact, you do have a time machine.

We Are the Child

Your child is not like everyone else; your child is you.

And yet, your child is not you; your child is his own person. A paradox.

Our souls are that paradox—on a greater scale: the nexus between God and His universe, where His own breath becomes His creation.

That is why we are called His children. And we call Him our Father.

T.Freeman

God’s Fishing Net

The soul begins in an intimate, essential bond with a Source Beyond All Things. Even as she invests herself into a material world, into a human form, that primordial bond remains imprinted deep within her.

It is that bond that pulls her constantly to return, like a magnet pulling its lost other half. Our incessant search for meaning, all our striving for that which we cannot grasp, all is an expression of this dynamic, this thirst to return.

This desire to return is innate, yet it must be awakened. The soul must first realize she is distant. Return in all its strength and passion is found, therefore, in the soul who has wandered far from her true self and then awakened to recognize she is lost.

We are like the child being pushed on a swing by her father—the further our souls are thrust away, the greater the force of our return.

As well, the drive to return is God’s fishing net. For in its search to reunite with Him, the soul finds God in all the matters of this world. And so, these too are pulled in. And the deeper the descent, the greater the treasure.

Pleading to Exist

Isn’t this strange, that a created being should take part in its own creation? Can a caricature hold the pencil in his artist’s hand? Can the characters of your own story edit your words? Can the figments of your own imagination tell you what to imagine?

Yet here we are, created beings pleading with our Creator, “Grant us life! Good life! Nice things! Be out there, in the open! Get more involved with your world!”

Here we are, in the inner chamber of the Cosmic Mind, where it is determined whether we should be or not be, participating in that decision.

We are created beings, yet there is something of us that lies beyond creation.

Power of speech

"There is a great deal that could be said about the power of

speech – how it creates forms, how it acts on the psychic and

physical organs not only of those being spoken about but also of

those speaking and of those hearing what is said. Knowing how to

be fair, moderate and precise when we speak is one of the

greatest qualities there is.

 We write with a pen, but we also write with our tongue. Our

every word is a letter addressed not only to human beings but to

all the entities living in nature. Regardless of who you are

addressing, you should try to speak with a golden tongue. Yes,

for the human tongue can be made of various materials – lead,

copper, iron, pewter, silver or gold. A golden tongue brings

souls light and peace."

Le corps que nous avons

Le corps que nous avons est un corps qui nous a été donné à la naissance, mais comme nous ne sommes pas nés dans une tradition de la Lumière, nos corps subtils ont été accaparés par des mondes invisibles que nous ne connaissons pas. Ces mondes, nous les nommons sans les connaître. Nous parlons de la pensée, des sentiments, mais nous n'avons pas rendu conscients ces mondes, nous ne les avons pas nettoyés. Nous n'avons pas éveillé ces mondes, en regardant réellement ce qui était caché derrière eux, pour nous faire un corps sur la terre. Si nous voulons avoir des corps subtils, nous devons les reconquérir.

They have banished God into exile

"They have banished God into exile.
They have decreed He is too holy,too transcendent to belong in our world.They have determined He does not belong within the ordinary, in the daily run of things.And so they have driven Him out of His garden, to the realm of prayer and meditation, to the sanctuaries and the secluded places of hermits. They have sentenced the Creator to exile and His creation they have locked in a dark, cold prison.And He pleads, "Let me come back to my garden, to the place in which I found delight when it all began."

Out of diversity is born a perfect harmony.

"We are all individual beings, each with our own life. But we are

not alone; we are part of a whole, and the issue we face is how

to reconcile the demands of our individual life with those of

collective life.

Each individual is special. Cosmic Intelligence created such a

diversity of creatures, and we must not try to put them all on

one level and make them all the same. Everyone has the right to

express their differences, their originality, provided they are

in tune with the whole, as in an orchestra. What a difference

there is in shape, material and sound between the violin, cello,

piano, oboe, flute, harp, trumpet, cymbals and bass drum! But out

of this diversity is born a perfect harmony."

Life in Words

Plants live in a world of earth, water, air and sunshine. Animals live in a world of the body and its senses. Human beings live within a world of their own words.

The sages called us “the speaking being,” saying that our soul is filled with words. When our words leave us, our very being goes out within them. We conquer with them. We declare our mastery over Creation with them. Our words tell us that we exist.

For us, nothing truly exists until we find a word for it. All our thoughts of every object and every event are thoughts of words. Our world is a world not of sensations and stimuli, but of words.

Build your world with precious words. Fill your days with words that live and give life.

Sun & Moon

Each one of us is both the sun and the moon.

The sun is constant—every day the same fiery ball rises in the sky. But the moon cycles through constant change—one day it is whole, then it wanes until it has disappeared altogether. Yet, then it is renewed, reborn out of nothingness.

So too, we learn and progress by quantum leaps and bounds, yet the timeless, constant wisdom of Torah doesn’t budge from its place. On the contrary, the more we move forward, the deeper we fathom the truths behind us.

T.Freeman

Defining Your World

We are not passive observers of this universe, but rather partners in its creation. We are the ones who assign each thing its meaning, who bring definition and resolution to an otherwise ambiguous world.

In fact, we are legal witnesses who determine a matter of life or death: For each thing we hold, each event that enters our life, our word declares whether it breathes with Godly life or simply idles itself into oblivion.

Lorsqu'on parle de pierre philosophale

Lorsqu'on parle de pierre philosophale, on parle de « pierre », c'est-à-dire du plus tangible, du plus concret qui puisse être, mais on parle aussi de «philosophale», de philosophie, c'est-à-dire d'un monde qui respire autour : la pierre qui pense, la pierre qui parle, la pierre qui sent. Cette pierre, c'est l'homme. L'homme est la pierre philosophale qui peut tout transformer en or ou en plomb. Celle-ci peut amener le plomb vers l'or, mais elle peut aussi amener l'or vers le plomb. On disait de la pierre philosophale qu'elle amenait la longue vie, la santé et l'immortalité. Cette pierre, c'est l'homme qui respire une intelligence supérieure du bien ou du mal. Le bien, c'est la vie, et le mal, c'est la mort. Le plomb est le corps physique de l'homme, qui va vers la mort : le plomb s'oxyde. Le processus de l'oxydation en chimie équivaut à un processus spirituel de mort.

A Connection Through the Times

There are two engines on the the “Kennedy” spacecraft, each engine five-feet wide. The spacecraft engineers wanted to make the engines wider, but couldn’t. That’s because the engines were delivered by railroad, and the distance between the rails was only five feet (or rather, four feet 8.5 inches). Why?
It’s because the American-made railroad was modeled after the British model, and in Great Britain the railroad was modeled after the trolleys, and the trolleys were modeled after horse-trams, and the width of the horse-trams was specifically made so the wheels would fall into tracks, and the distance between the tracks in Great Britain is five feet.

And that’s because the roads in Great Britain were paved by the Romans to fit the size of their military chariots, which were five feet wide. And that’s because the chariots were led by two horses and this was the width of two horses’ behinds!

So the size of the spacecraft’s engines depends on the size of a horse’s behind 2,000 years ago!

Love And Hatred Of “600,000 Souls”

600,000 souls are parts of a single soul created by the Creator.This single created being got divided into parts which we call “600,000″ souls. However, this number does not indicate quantity, but rather the quality of the connection between them. 

When the Creator gives rise to the desire to receive pleasure, everything is a single whole; the Creator, the vessel, and the Light are like one. But in this state, both the desire and the Light sense neither separation nor connection; they don’t feel whether the creature exists or not. There is a complete absence of any sensation because any sensation in the creature can be detected only through the opposition between the creature itself and what it feels.

For that, it is necessary to distinguish between the Light and the vessel and to feel their complete oppositeness and connection. However, when the vessel and Light connect, their difference doesn’t vanish since love emerges above hatred.

Both qualities have to emerge. The distance between hatred and love, darkness and light (hatred is revealed as darkness and love as light) gives the creature the sensation of its existence and understanding of where it exists and with whom it is connected. This is the reason why the World of Infinity is not enough to outline the creature and make it independent.

Only after the creature goes through the entire process of its development, meaning that it starts at the first stage, descends to the second, and then rises back to the third, does it begin to understand what the first state was about. The created being becomes independent and similar to the Creator. That’s why it is called Adam.

In the beginning (Stage 1), the creature was just a drop of semen. Then, it realizes that the breaking has occurred and corrects it. By doing so, the creature attains perfection. It is not considered a drop of semen any more, but rather, it has the power of 600,000 souls and represents one big autonomous soul.

“Six hundred thousand” stands for six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin multiplied by ten Sefirot in each of them and then by ten thousand, the power of the ascent of Zeir Anpin to Arich Anpin which governs all corrections. 60 x 10,000 = 600,000. Hence, the common soul (the general, final, corrected state) is called 600,000 souls.

An Honest Talk With The Creator

Question: What does it mean to “speak with the Creator?”

Answer: To “speak with the Creator” primarily means to do everything you can to try to reveal His image within you. Try to imagine: He is the reason for everything I feel. My thoughts, desires, and sensations are all Him, the One who has laid my foundation and forms me.

When I decide that my current reality is established by Him, then how do I treat everything that happens to me? There are two possibilities:

1. Directly structure my attitude towards my inner reality as my attitude towards Him. But this approach is inaccurate, incorrect, and unstable. There is no ability to test or verify it because I will surely be guided by my ego and err.

2. At first, I strengthen myself through my connection with others like me, and then I structure my attitude towards the inner reality by passing its image through this connection. In this case, I am definitely already in some quality of bestowal, and my qualities are adapted to the Creator’s image. Thus, instead of changing the image, I change my attitude towards it. This is what it means to “speak with the Creator.”

La pierre philosophale, c'est l'union harmonieuse de l'esprit et de la matière

La pierre philosophale, c'est l'union harmonieuse de l'esprit et de la matière, comme son nom l'indique. Celui qui possède uniquement une connaissance intellectuelle ne l'emportera pas par-delà la porte de la mort car l'homme emporte de l'autre côté uniquement les expériences vécues intensément dans les trois sphères de son être, les expériences qui ont un caractère d'éternité, de plénitude. Ce sont elles qui forment la rose au centre de la croix. Chaque âme incarnée vivait auparavant dans un autre pays où elle parlait et pensait avec une autre langue et pourtant dans sa nouvelle incarnation, elle ne se rappelle plus son ancien langage, ce qui démontre que l'âme ne garde que la quintessence la plus spirituelle, la plus intense d'une incarnation à l'autre.

The Power of Not Thinking

Thinking has a profound effect. So does not thinking.

A mind obsessed with yesterday’s travesties, today’s aches and pains, and tomorrow’s dark clouds, creates problems where none exist.

It transforms daydreams into realities, molehills into monstrosities, innocent creatures into venomous snakes. All the more so when such words pass the lips into the tangible world we all share.

That is why simply turning your back to those thoughts is such a powerful form of healing—for every sort of illness. Distract your mind to good thoughts, productive thoughts, thoughts of confidence in the One Who Made You, and especially thoughts of Torah.

Heal your mind and heal your soul. You will heal your body as well.

Being and Not Being

He made His world of contradictions, opposites that combine as one.

Being and not being,

infinity and finitude,

light and darkness,

form and matter,

quantity and quality,

giving and withholding.

At their nexus, a world is formed: Neither can exist without the other, all function together as a single whole.

They are mere modalities—He Himself is none of them. He mixes them and matches them at whim.

Paradox is our window to the Unknowable.

Get Real

Why is God not real to you? Because your god is not real.

You begin with “Here I am, standing in this world,” and then you append, “and God is watching down on me.”

God Is—and you and your world are a glimmer of His presence.

Many people, without realizing, end up with two gods

Many people, without realizing, end up with two gods:

One god is an impersonal, all-encompassing, transcendent force.

But then, at times of trouble, they cry out to another, personal god, with whom they have an intimate relationship.

Our faith is all about knowing that these two are one. The same God who is beyond all things, He is the same one who hears your cries and counts your tears. The same God who is the force behind all existence and transcends even that, He is the same God who cares about what is cooking in your kitchen and how you treat your fellow human being.

God cannot be defined, even as transcendent. He is beyond all things and within them at once.

A smile

"A smile is in itself a greeting, a sign of acknowledgement we

give to those we meet even before we say hello to them, so it is

important to be aware of what our smile expresses. Of course, it

is not a matter of putting on a false smile that we’ve been

practising in the mirror. Our smile should come naturally from

within and express kindness, gentleness and understanding.

If you are able to reach into the depths of your being and seek

silence and light, your inner sculptors will know which nerves

and muscles to tighten or relax. You can trust them. Wanting to

manufacture your own smile is only going to deform your features.

So work with love, hope and faith, and trust in the inspiration

of your inner sculptors."

Voir, entendre, toucher, c'est être avec la vie universelle

Voir, entendre, toucher, c'est être avec la vie universelle, mais pour cela, les sens doivent être parfaitement ajustés. S'ils ne le sont pas, les perceptions se brouillent et c'est la bêtise, la folie, le fanatisme qui apparaissent, et l'homme s'enferme dans un monde. Les sens sont des outils qui doivent être maîtrisés par la discipline méditative. Ils sont des fenêtres par lesquelles la Lumière de la conscience et de la vie peut entrer. Alors, tout peut être connu : soi, l'autre, l'univers, les mondes magiques et les Dieux. Être en paix avec soi-même, en harmonie avec l'univers et entrer dans le monde des Dieux immortels, tel est le sens véritable de la vie. La clé est cachée dans la nutrition. « On devient ce que l'on mange. » Une nourriture d'homme engendre des mortels, une nourriture des Dieux engendre des immortels.

Inner Anxiety

Often, anxiety takes root because a person’s external character is incompatible with his or her inner self. The anxiety may dwell upon other issues and obsessions—but none of these are the true underlying cause.

Most souls can tolerate a few inconsistencies. But others are sensitive to every nuance. As soon as some aspect of their lifestyle is not attuned to the purity of the essential self, the entire person is thrown off balance.

The aura is our spiritual skin.

"The aura is our spiritual skin. And it is as desirable for the

spiritual skin surrounding us to be wide and strong as it is for

our physical skin to be soft and fine.

There are people who never stop complaining about the way others

look at them, speak to them and treat them. They are so sensitive

you would think they were covered in wounds. This shows that

their aura is very thin. Why is this? Because they do not have

much love. Whereas, you can say what you like to those people who

have a very wide aura, and it doesn’t bother them or offend them,

for they have a great deal of love. So, if you are so very

sensitive to criticism, don’t try making excuses. It is simply

that you do not have enough love to seal the breaches, to build

thick walls and prevent negative currents from coming in through

your aura."

Initially, the idea of serving others is never an attractive one for many people

"Initially, the idea of serving others is never an attractive one

for many people; it is even humiliating, and that is because they

do not know what true service is. Otherwise, why would Jesus have

said in the Gospels, ‘The greatest among you must become like one

who serves’? Those who are great never find it demeaning to be at

the service of others, because their greatness is of the spirit.

They know that nothing, no task, will make them lose their

nobility, their true greatness.

Jesus was great, because he knew how to be infinitely small. The

man who said, ‘I am the truth’ never asked anyone to bow down to

serve him; on the contrary, he made himself a humble servant to

all. Why? Because truth is charged with immeasurable power. So it

has to be carefully wrapped for others to receive it and

assimilate it without it causing any damage. The power bestowed

by truth must also be expressed through humility, love and

kindness."

La puissance de la pensée !

« ... Chaque jour, des phénomènes atmosphériques se produisent sur toute la surface de la terre. Et leur cause, c'est le soleil.

Le soleil chauffe l'air et la vapeur d'eau qui constituent l'atmosphère, l'air chaud tend à s'élever, créant des zones de basse pression tandis que l'air froid se comprime, se tasse contre le sol, créant des zones de haute pression. Alors, des hautes pressions

vers les basses pressions circulent les vents.

Quand la différence de pression s'accentue,

les vents deviennent très violents et

il peut se produire des tornades et des ouragans.

De plus, sous l'effet de la chaleur du soleil,

l'eau des océans, des mers, des lacs, des rivières s'évapore et monte. Lorsque l'air atteint un degré de saturation, la vapeur d'eau se transforme en neige ou en pluie, et les averses et les torrents agissent

sur la terre et modèlent le relief.

En nous, le soleil correspond à l'esprit,

l'air à la pensée, l'eau au sentiment,

la terre au corps physique.

Lorsque l'esprit agit sur la pensée, la pensée entraîne à son tour le sentiment, et le sentiment se jette sur le corps physique pour le faire courir, gesticuler, parler.

Donc, le corps physique se meut sous l'effet du sentiment, le sentiment est éveillé par la pensée, la pensée naît sous l'influence de l'esprit ...

Ce mécanisme est là chaque jour sous nos yeux :

sous l'influence de l'air (le vent),

l'eau (les vagues) modèle la terre (les rochers), lui donne des formes, la sculpte.

On peut en tirer cette conclusion : si l'être humain savait interpréter et appliquer dans sa vie intérieure ce processus naturel, normal, de l'action du soleil sur la terre par l'intermédiaire de l'air et de l'eau,

il pourrait opérer de grandes transformations

en lui et en-dehors de lui.

Voilà en quoi consiste

la puissance de la pensée !"

"The two principles of light and dark are forever at war in the

and if you take sides with light you will be attacked by

darkness. You should know this and be ready to defend yourself.

But you will have to be careful with this too, because it’s not a

question of defending yourself any way you can; the only weapons

you should use are those of light. Yes, for if you fight back

using the means of darkness – hate, cruelty and violence – you

will go crashing down into regions where these hostile forces

confront each other and tear each other apart, and you will

experience darkness and weakness.

Bear this in mind: these enemies are a temptation presented by

the invisible world. To get the better of them, we tend to fight

back using the same methods they use. But enemies can also be a

blessing, if we seek to respond with the higher weapon, light."

Forgetting to Learn

Learning is not the mere acquisition of knowledge and more knowledge. Learning is a process of making quantum leaps beyond the subjective self. No matter how high a summit you may reach, there is always another peak above.

Getting Along

When we can’t get along with someone, we like to blame it on that person’s faults: Stupidity, incompetence, outrageous actions, aggression or some other evil.

And all that stops us from coming back together is that we each imagine ourselves to be whole.

Gradual Truth

In life, you don't get all the answers at once.

First you must absorb and live with one simple truth. Then later you must find another truth --one that may seem to conflict with and negate all you previously learned. Then, from that confusion, emerges a higher truth --the inner light behind all you had learned before.
