ou meet up with someone for a chat or a meal together ...

"You meet up with someone for a chat or a meal together, or to
discuss a possible job: more often than not you start by shaking
hands, and so you create a connection. One hand represents the
masculine, emissive principle and the other, the feminine,
receptive. If you both make this gesture consciously, each hand
plays its part, and the result is an active harmony.
Two people who shake hands show they wish to understand each
other, to agree to walk the same path. Yes, provided that,
symbolically, the energy of one hand is positive, the other
negative. When both hands (that is, both people) are active and
positive, they can only come into conflict. When both hands
(again, both people) are passive, they will do nothing. The act
of shaking hands always implies the wish to bring about ordered
activity - it means 'I want to try having exchanges with you;
let's see if we can work together.' But how many people come
together with no concern about understanding the language of
hands! They should not be surprised if their undertaking ends in
failure."

Apprends à être vigilant

Apprends à être vigilant et à évaluer les êtres que tu rencontres et qui veulent s'associer à toi. Une simple pensée, un désir peuvent te conduire vers ta perte ou ta réussite suivant leur provenance. L'attention intérieure développe la vertu de la prudence et du discernement. Il faut toujours renforcer le côté positif en soi et autour de soi.

Love of the Light

Does the ego ever let up? No, but you can. You have chance to become more like God by choosing to love yourself and others. Release judgment and invite the love of the Light into the world. This is a true act of sharing. 

We have infinite opportunities each day to choose what kind of energy to send out into the universe: positive energy or negative energy. Both ways, the energy will come back to us; that’s a guarantee.

"Knowing, willing, daring and keeping silent

"Knowing, willing, daring and keeping silent: the quintessence of
initiation is in these four things. 'But why "keeping silent"?'
you will ask. Because the discoveries you can make through the
first three activities - knowing, willing and daring - are of
such a nature and of such power that it is very dangerous to
reveal them to those who are not ready for them, either because
they themselves have not begun to walk the spiritual path or
because their intentions are bad and they can make bad use of
them. Yes, keeping silent shows the immeasurable importance of
these three things: knowledge, will and daring.
Jesus said, 'Do not throw your pearls before swine'. One of
humanity's greatest tragedies is the tendency people have to
waste the best things on the worst ventures, and this is why it
is preferable not to reveal certain things to them."

The Marionette

What are these "laws of nature?"

Nothing more than matter and energy suspended by their Creator in a consistent form, as a puppeteer suspends marionettes upon a stage.

A miracle is when the Creator bares His hands.

The emotion you feel

The emotion you feel is always about the vibrational variance between where you want to be and where you are. If you're out of balance, there are only two ways to bring yourself into alignment: Either raise your expectation to match your desire—or lower your desire to match your expectation.

Seasons of Essence

There is the body, the soul, and then there is the essence. If the soul is light, then the essence is the source of light. If the soul is energy, then the essence is the generator. It is not something you have. It is who and what you are.

Whatever we do, we dance around that essence-core, like an orbiting spacecraft unable to land. We can meditate, we can be inspired -- but to touch our inner core, the place from whence all this comes, that takes a power from beyond.

That is why there are seasons in life empowered from beyond. Special days and special nights, times of crisis and times of joy that touch the core. At other times, you can step forward. At those times, you can leap into a new form of being.

T.Freeman

Which people are the most mistrustful?

"Which people are the most mistrustful? Those who are dishonest,
cunning and wicked. They can't believe there are honest, sincere
and good people. They judge others by their own values, and that
is why they are always suspicious. As for those who are noble and
unselfish, it is difficult for them to see wickedness, betrayal
and treachery, for they too see others through the prism of their
own qualities.
Human beings can only see through their own eyes, and they
fashion what they see with their own thoughts, feelings, desires
and tendencies. When you meet people who talk only of others'
faults, know that on the whole they are telling you about
themselves, for, if they were noble, kind, honest and, above all,
loving, they would find all these good qualities in others, too."

It's been a battle among humans, for a very long time, trying to get this picture of God into a place that is pleasing for them. And the debate about "Is it evolution? Is it creation? Is it God-inspired, or is it scientifically inspired…?" And we say, why does it have to be one or the other? Why can't everything that is wrapped up in science and vibration be the true essence of that which you call God? It is all one and the same.

When we're initiating change from within ...

When we're initiating change from within, becoming excited and elated, we're treading new & original ground. But something usually brings us back to 'what is familiar'.

What is this? It's our doubt. It doesn't like when we stretch beyond ourselves. It want us to snap right back into our small world.

Today, the way to stay awake and focused is to be willing to do whatever it takes. When push comes to shove, are you really serious about reaching for something bigger, better, longer-lasting?

Your Beast

We all have our animal inside. The point is not simply to muzzle that animal, but to harness its power; to determine what sort of an animal this is and what can be done with it.

A sheep, for example, is easily domesticated and doesn’t care to hurt anyone, while an ox may kick and gore. But did you ever see a sheep plow a field?

The first fruit

There is a tale of a man who went to the market to find the perfect piece of fruit. He found an extraordinary fruit at the very first stand he visited. He decided to keep looking, to see what else was available.After perusing the other vendors, he decided on the first fruit he found. Unfortunately, when he went back there, the fruit seller had packed up and gone home.I don’t know where this story comes from, whether it happened or it’s just a parable, but it clearly show us that just because something is easy, doesn’t mean it’s not right.While we do talk about hard work and effort, sometimes that effort is needed in the future. And sometimes the hard work took place in a previous lifetime. It can even come to us through the hard work of our parents, or the generations before us.We can’t always know. Sometimes the easy job IS the right job; the first person we date, is the right person for us. Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.This week, keep in mind that the universe does want to give us the best. And sometimes, it is good enough to be true.

"It is impossible to take up esoteric science without encountering, at some time or other, the subject of magic

"It is impossible to take up esoteric science without
encountering, at some time or other, the subject of magic and,
particularly, black magic. But it would be more sensible to leave
the area of black magic alone, and above all you should avoid
thinking you might fall prey to it. Those who have this fear are
already attracting negative currents to themselves. Yes, because
this fear makes them vulnerable and, therefore, open to all kinds
of dark elements floating in the atmosphere. It's the same as
with epidemics: if you are fragile and receptive, you catch every
germ from people you meet, but if you are robust, resistant and
emissive you escape them.
So, don't worry about black magic: make yourself strong, think
of the light, work with the light, and then the light in you will
repel the negative. A wheel that's turning very fast throws off
the mud, but as soon as it begins to turn more slowly any dirt
sticks to it. And when the flow of a spring is strong, it sweeps
away the leaves and twigs that might otherwise obstruct it. So,
instead of allowing your mind to become lazy, be like a spring."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

La dignité humaine

La dignité humaine n'est pas d'accepter des lois mais de comprendre le sens de sa vie, de son environnement, de savoir 'lire' le monde qui nous entoure. Seule la pensée vivante permet cela.

O.Manitara

Reconnect

Pride gets in the way when we tell ourselves that we are strong, and that we shouldn’t burden others with our problems. But these thoughts promote emptiness, isolation, and separation from others and from the source of all joy. 

Learning to resist the temptation to retreat into isolation takes a little practice, but the result can be miraculous. By picking up the phone, visiting with a stranger at a coffee shop, or by helping someone in need, we break the cycle. These small proactive measures of engaging with others immediately reconnects us with the Light through them, and with the love of the universe.

As you are born into these physical bodies

As you are born into these physical bodies, you experience the vibrational continuum of the generations that have come before you. Their desires as they have lived as individuals—and their Collective Mass Consciousness desire— has emanated to the boundary-less boundaries of the Universe, and Law of Attraction is answering all of those requests. So, each generation who follows the previous generation benefits by the desires that have been exuded by Mass Consciousness.

Denying Reality

Despair is the diametric opposite of everything in which we believe -in other words: it is a denial of reality.

It is a denial that there is a God that directs all of His creation and watches over every individual and assists each one in what he must accomplish.

T.Freeman

Human beings cannot possess the universal consciousness

"Human beings cannot possess the universal consciousness that

would allow them to attune to all that exists. They always

experience certain feelings of repulsion, whether for a

particular food, object, face or way of behaving. When we arrive

on earth, we take on a body in a family somewhere, and this body

does not vibrate in perfect harmony with the universe and all its

creatures.

But do we have to accept this state of affairs to the point

where we make it a rule of conduct? No. Obviously, it is easier

to seek out only those things we like. But if you listen to

wisdom, which sees things differently, you will find it won't

approve of you acting only according to what you like or dislike.

Why not try to see things from a larger perspective and seek out

what is good both for you and for others? Try asserting yourself

over this capricious nature of yours, which likes this and hates

that, instead of serving it day and night. As long as you are

guided by your tastes, likes and dislikes, you will go astray."

Tu ne dois pas toujours te polariser sur tes défauts.

Tu ne dois pas toujours te polariser sur tes défauts. Tu en as -c'est certain- mais il faut les accepter comme matière à transformer puis t'intéresser surtout à tes qualités et te concentrer sur l'être divin qui vit en toi.

"The physical world, the spiritual world and the divine world... or, form, content and meaning

"The physical world, the spiritual world and the divine world...

or, form, content and meaning... or, again, the world of facts,

the world of laws and the world of principles: it is always the

same trinity - body, soul and spirit. Spirit corresponds to the

divine world, the soul to the spiritual world and the body to the

physical world. So, the soul comes between matter and spirit; it

is an agent, a vehicle that conveys elements from heaven to earth

and earth to heaven. Everything that comes down and everything

that rises passes through the soul. Spirit can only reach

downwards, and matter can only reach upwards, but the soul moves

up and down between the two. This is why spirit only has power

over matter if it passes through the soul.

Look at what happens in nature: the sun cannot act directly on

the earth; it needs agents, in this case, air and water. In the

same way, our spirit cannot touch our physical body directly; it

needs an agent - the soul."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Not the Body

Remember you are not the body. Neither are you the animal that pounds within the body, demanding its way in every thing. You are a Godly soul.

Do not confuse the pain and struggle of the body with the joy and purity of the Godly soul.

T.Freeman

Purposeful, But Hated

There is nothing—no thing or event—that must be, that forces itself upon God. All is deliberate, all has intent and purpose. And the ultimate good is hidden in that purpose.

Nevertheless, our God is a God that creates things He does not desire. Things about which we scream, sometimes in horror, sometimes in indignant outrage, "Why did You do this? How could You?!"

And all we receive is a silent tear from heaven.

Yet even the things He does not desire, they too have purpose.

T. Freeman

"Do I have a responsibility to make the whole world beat to my drum?"

Tant que les hommes pensent ...

« Tant que les hommes pensent qu'ils acquerront la sagesse, le savoir en se tournant vers des mondes supérieurs, ils demeureront dans l'illusion. Car c'est dans les racines que l'on peut trouver notre identité, notre fondement, notre chemin vers la Lumière et la grandeur. Celui qui veut aller vers le monde divin sans racine n'ira nulle part, il n'ira que vers une illusion, un rêve de Lumière. C'est le grand piège dans lequel tombent les spiritualistes en général. Ils pensent qu'aller vers les mondes supérieurs est facile puisqu'il suffit de les imaginer pour les voir avec des couleurs magnifiques, dans un monde de beauté et de fantaisie où tout ce que l'homme projette devient réel. »

Is harmony one note that everybody is singing?

Is harmony one note that everybody is singing? Or is it a whole lot of notes that are in vibrational harmony with each other? When you give your attention to anything, the Universe responds to it. When two of you are giving your attention to it, and there is no contradiction, it is a powerful vortex. That's why a gathering such as this can achieve a great deal as you come together in greater and greater harmony and take thought beyond that which it has been before.

Each morning as you wake up

"Each morning as you wake up, tell yourself that there is nothing

more important than living today well. In a way, the past is

always alive and is still affecting your present, but you don't

have to allow it to take over. It is the present you must

empower, so that it can control the past and even bring it down

in order to change it. When the past was the present, it was

all-powerful. Now that it is the past, it is subject to the

present, and the present now has its say. The past is gone, and

the future is still to come. It is up to the present to impose

its will, so that it may transform the past and give direction to

the future."

les ondines

Dans la Tradition, les êtres qui habitent l'eau, mais également par symbiose les plantes, ont été appelés : les ondines. Cela signifie qu'une plante ne vit pas simplement dans une sphère physique et visible mais également dans le monde magique, subtil. Elle a une âme dans un monde beaucoup plus fin, éthéré, proche de l'eau. Ainsi, peut on prendre conscience que l'eau n'est pas uniquement physique mais qu'elle a une contrepartie dans d'autres mondes. De ce fait, il est aisé de comprendre que si l'on peut empoisonner l'eau physique, on peut aussi salir, dénaturer l'eau magique, l'eau aurique avec des pensées, des sentiments, des états d'âme qui ne sont pas clairs. Ce processus est intimement lié au monde végétal. »

A promise is like a signature

"A promise is like a signature; it binds you until you have

fulfilled what you promised. And not just the promises you made

before heaven; even the ones you make down here to human beings

must be kept. If you leave this world without having had time to

achieve what you committed to, you will have to come back to keep

your promise. Not even God himself will release you from this

promise; only the person to whom you made it can do so.

A man promises a woman that he will marry her... He may find out

one day that he's not cut out for marriage but rather for serving

the Lord. Well, he must get the woman to agree to release him

from his promise, and if she refuses there is no point in his

turning to the Lord, for he will answer, 'Since you promised, I

can do nothing. I know you wish to serve me, but you have plenty

of time. First get married. You can also serve me while you are

married.'"

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

The thought that you think

The thought that you think, you think, which attracts to it; so you think it some more, which attracts to it; so you think it some more. In other words, when you have an expectation, you've got a dominant thought going on, and Law of Attraction is going to deliver that to you again, and again and again. And you say "The reason that I believe this, is because it is true." And we say, the reason that you believe it, is because you've practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing.

How to Not Listen

As a person behaves here below, so he is treated above.

Perhaps someone once tried to tell you about the ugly deeds of another. Perhaps you responded, "I'm not interested." And you didn't listen.

Then there will be a time when a heavenly being will wish to report on your doings here on earth. If you have had the guts to respond this way, God will also say, "I'm not interested. I don't want to even listen."

Artists are creators

"Artists are creators and produce works, and that's wonderful! But

it isn't enough; they must also be concerned with what they

themselves emanate. True art consists in making one's life and

one's whole being a work of art, in which everything will be

poetry, music and light - a harmony of colour, form and movement.

And the art of the future will consist in helping human beings

understand how they can rediscover their original face, the face

of the Divinity. Much time, effort and work will be needed to

reach that point. But you should not let the issue of time stop

you, for although people's worldly creations do not belong to

them - they have to give them up at the time of death - the work

they have undertaken to do on themselves lives on forever."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Who This Really Is

What you see of a person, you may not like.

Yet who this person really is, you can never know.

Daily Refreshments

"But I live within time. Every day I am older."

Each day you are new. Each morning you are born to life again. Do you not eat again each day as though you have never eaten before? Do you not thirst as though you have never drunk water?

"For food I am hungry. But for wisdom I feel no thirst."

Look at those who are wise. See how they lap up wisdom each day like those who have never eaten before. You will do so as well--and soon you too will be healthy.

T. Freeman (adapted)

The sun is called 'the light of the universe'

"The sun is called 'the light of the universe', for it lights up

the world, and it is thanks to its light that we can see. When

the sun is not shining on us, we need other sources of light:

electric light-bulbs, candles, torches, lighthouses, and so on.

Objects, therefore, are only visible to the extent that a light

is shining on them and lighting them up; this law applies to the

physical world and to the spiritual world, too. But in the

spiritual world, there is no light to switch on, the way we

switch on the stair light or bedroom light, and if we want to

see, it is up to us to shine a light. The reason why so few

people are able to see on the spiritual plane is that they wait

for objects to be lit up, when it is up to them to shine the rays

that will allow them to see. "

De nombreux tremblements de terre, inondations, épidémies et bien d'autres situations

« De nombreux tremblements de terre, inondations, épidémies et bien d'autres situations que les hommes considèrent comme des catastrophes naturelles font office d'avertissements. Ce n'est pas encore une condamnation, mais juste un avertissement. Il faut être conscient que tant que ces événements arrivent à l'extérieur de l'homme, cela signifie que tout peut être encore réparé. Mais lorsque ces tremblements de terre, ces raz-de-marée, ces épidémies seront à l'intérieur du psychisme de l'homme, ce sera vraiment la grande confusion et nous approcherons de la fin. L'homme doit absolument comprendre qu'il va vers une destruction globale et il faut que maintenant, sans perdre de temps, il arrête ce processus terrible. En tout cas, il faut qu'il le freine et qu'il commence à entrer dans une autre conscience. Ce n'est pas une simple demande, c'est une exigence, une nécessité vitale. »

Since the Lord possesses all virtues

"Since the Lord possesses all virtues, he also possesses all the

riches of the universe. In accordance with this law, in the

distant past, when the original order of things was respected,

material wealth went only to those who possessed spiritual

riches, while those who were inwardly poor were also materially

poor. We no longer see this order respected on earth, but as the

law is absolute (as above, so below) this order will one day be

restored, and each person will find their place: those who are

rich in intelligence, kindness and nobleness will receive the

corresponding material wealth, thanks to which they will be able

to flourish and do good. As for those who do not have these

qualities - they will have to make do with little.

Obviously, it will not be up to human beings to restore this

order, for they do not know who is deserving and who is not; it

will be the work of Cosmic Intelligence, for the law of

correspondences is an immutable law of the universe."

La vie est une source pure et sacrée qui coule en permanence. Celui qui réussit à s'unir à la source du présent trouve le Divin qui l'habite et n'est plus sujet au conditionnement extérieur ; il devient libre.

Two wolves fighting

This story is something I heard while traveling around, and it’s such a powerful lesson that I believe it deserves repeating. I don’t know its origin.

Inside each of us two wolves are fighting. One wolf represents anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, and resentment. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, truth, and compassion. This same fight is going on inside of you, and me and every other person. 

Which wolf will win? 

The one you feed most.
