Apprenez à parler d'une façon juste, belle, consciente.

Apprenez à parler d'une façon juste, belle, consciente. Vos paroles doivent faire apparaître ce qui est noble et pur et maîtriser tout ce qui est faux et mortel. Percevez-vous vous-mêmes dans vos intonations, vos intentions, vos gestes, vos regards, attitudes, votre maintien, la qualité de votre énergie vis-à-vis des êtres qui vous entourent, vivent avec vous et baignent dans votre être et vos influences. Ainsi vous pourrez vous faire une idée de la façon dont le monde divin vous perçoit.

Constant Bonding

Matter and energy are two opposites. To energize a piece of matter requires a constant flow.

Existence and nothingness are two opposites. To keep the world in existence demands a constant renewal.

Heaven and earth are two opposites. To infuse the earthly with spirituality requires a constant effort.

Woman and man are two opposites. And so the marriage ceremony never ends.

To be happy, it is not enough to have a family, friends, a job and leisure.

"To be happy, it is not enough to have a family, friends, a job

and leisure. The proof is the number of people there are you

might consider privileged but who are not happy! Why? Because

they do not know how to respond to their soul’s needs. The soul

needs to live in immense, infinite, limitless space. And yet,

humans continually constrict their soul, fetter it and stifle it;

they want it to make do with trifles – a little material success,

a little pleasure, a little gossip… Then, the soul suffers and

complains to them: ‘I want to be free, and you, with your

ordinary, petty occupations and worries, keep me in fetters. I am

a daughter of God, space is my element, I need to expand into the

vastness of heaven.’

So, for at least a few minutes, experience allowing your soul to

soar up and expand in space. Allow it to escape, to the point

where it merges with the whole universe. And then you will know

the meaning of happiness."

The Other's World

In your world, all that exists is the Infinite and you.

In the world of your neighbor, all that exists is the Infinite and him. And his world is just as true as yours.

In the world of a cow, there's just the Infinite and it. So with an insect, so with a plant, so even with a rock.

Every seat of consciousness constitutes a world. And each world is true.

Knowing this is also part of your world:

The knowledge that in the other person's world you are only an accessory, an interface by which he connects.

And now you know how to enter his world.

La vie est une pièce de théâtre

La vie est une pièce de théâtre, notre personnalité est un rôle auquel il ne faut pas s'identifier. Que penseriez-vous d'un acteur qui se prendrait pour son personnage ? C'est un peu le cas de l'homme qui ne parvient plus à se distancier de son personnage et finit par ne plus savoir qui il est.

The Child

The ultimate prayer is the prayer of the small child.

You pray to some lofty concept of The Infinite Light or The Essence of Being...

But the child doesn't have any concept. Just G-d.

When you open your eyes in the morning, you are a newborn child.

Then and there you meet G-d face to face.

As you awaken and your brain becomes engaged,

keep the child with you.

T. Freeman

What we do for God we also do for ourselves

"We must love and seek God, not for ourselves but for him, like
sons or daughters who find all their joy in taking part in their
father and mother’s activities.
When Jesus taught us to pray using the words ‘Our Father in
heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be
done on earth as it is in heaven’, he gave us precisely the
programme we have to achieve. We must sanctify the name of God
within, draw heaven down into ourselves and do his will, as the
angels in heaven do. What we do for God we also do for ourselves,
since we are in him and he is in us."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

So long as they are young and in good health, people never think about the principle of disintegration

"So long as they are young and in good health, people never think
about the principle of disintegration at work inside them, which
will eventually prevail. They tend to think the world belongs to
them and the future will never stop smiling on them. How
disappointed they are when they feel everything beginning to
elude them on the physical plane! In the merciless struggle
taking place between the principles of life and of death, there
are those who want to hold onto life by any means possible, with
the result that they may act in the most senseless ways, throwing
all the resources into the battle that they should be using for
their spiritual work, and then they lose everything.
We did not come down to earth to remain young and healthy
forever but as a training, an apprenticeship. The wise person
knows the bends in the road and strives to make use of
everything. In the spiritual world, upward progress is
continuous. Down here, whatever we do, we will gradually see our
forehead and cheeks become wrinkled, our hair grow white, our
teeth fall out, and so on. But you must understand that the outer
appearance is of no importance when radiant spiritual life shines
through the white hair and the wrinkles."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Karma & Dharma

"The moment you act, you inevitably activate certain forces, which
will just as inevitably produce certain results. This connection
between cause and effect is the initial meaning of the word
karma. It was only later that it took on the sense of payment for
a sin committed. So you could say that karma (in the second
meaning of the term) manifests whenever an action is not totally
inspired by divine wisdom and love – which is the case most of
the time. But human beings make attempts and need to practise.
Their attempts are clumsy, imperfect, but it doesn’t matter –
they have to mend their ways, put right their mistakes, and of
course they struggle, and they suffer in the process.
You will say, ‘Well, since we can’t help but make mistakes when
we act and then we have to suffer to make amends, isn’t it better
not to do anything?’ No, you have to act. Obviously, you will
suffer, but you will learn, you will evolve, and one day you will
no longer suffer. When you have learned to act well, when all
your actions and all your words are inspired by kindness, purity
and disinterestedness, they will not entail any ‘karma’ but will
attract beneficial effects. This is called dharma."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

In our physical body, the head is the seat of knowledge.

"In our physical body, the head is the seat of knowledge, while
power is situated in the arms and legs, which are for doing and
moving. Between the head and the limbs lies the heart. Without
the heart, the head and the limbs would be unable to function. It
is the heart that keeps them working; it contracts and expands
all the time so that the blood – life – can continue to
circulate. If the heart stops, everything else stops too.
But humans have abandoned the heart, symbolically speaking, and
gone in search of power. And as money gives a great deal of
power, they do all they can to obtain as much money as possible,
with no consideration for what they make others suffer, and their
heart hardens. They also seek knowledge, but as their goal is not
a selfless one their knowledge only serves to lead them astray.
This is why they are not happy. They are undoubtedly more
powerful and more learned, but they are not happy. To be happy,
they must return to the qualities of the heart – kindness,
gentleness, generosity and forgiveness."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Those who do harm to themselves do harm to the whole world

"You find life difficult, and so it is, and that humans are often

mean and ungrateful, which they are. But is that any reason for

always feeling outraged, indignant and bitter? Do you not realize

that, by having this attitude, you are actually harming yourself?

Some will say they can’t stop themselves from feeling indignant

at what they see in the world and that, if they are harming

themselves, there is no need to blame them, since it is only

themselves they are harming. Well, such reasoning shows they

don’t understand things correctly.

All humans are connected, and if you are sad, depressed and

sombre, this is reflected onto those you spend time with. You may

not wish to harm anyone, and on the face of it it’s true that you

are not, and yet you are, because you are spreading negative

waves and particles. You think you are separate from others, but

you are mistaken: your thoughts and feelings affect your parents,

your friends, even the animals, plants and objects around you.

Those who do harm to themselves do harm to the whole world, so

they are no more innocent than those they are so indignant about."

Beyond Intellect

Your mind itself no more than a creation, a whim of a Creator who fashioned it from nothing.

To approach the One Who Created Intellect, you need a sense which is beyond intellect and beyond self. We call this sense emuna, which some translate as faith.

But this type of faith does not ignore intellect.

It takes you far beyond.

T. Freeman 

Intellect is not intelligence

"Intellect is not intelligence, and you should learn to tell the

difference between the two. The intellect is an instrument given

to humans to cope on the material plane, to solve the problems of

everyday life, to study nature with and draw a few conclusions

from their study. Intelligence, on the other hand, in the

initiatic sense of the word, is a much higher faculty; it is

above the astral and mental planes and is capable of mastering

feelings, thoughts and all manifestations of the psychic life.

It is this intelligence that initiates consider to be true

intelligence; it is connected to the world of superconsciousness,

which is the divine world. All those who have learned how to work

to master their thoughts and their feelings and connect to the

higher regions and make exchanges with them, have been capable of

sublime achievements. They are the ones who have enabled humanity

to truly progress."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Fools

To fool the world is one thing,

but to fool yourself is no big deal.

You're a fool for wanting to fool yourself

--and anyone can fool a fool.

Do not react.

"A Master received a visit one day from a young man who wanted to

become his disciple. So the teaching began, and the first lesson

was as follows. The Master said to the disciple, ‘Go for a walk

in the cemetery and insult the dead; pay attention to what they

say in reply, and then come back and report to me.’ The young man

went obediently to the cemetery and began walking among the

graves uttering terrible things: never had the dead in a cemetery

heard anything like it! Soon, running out of inspiration, he

stopped to listen for a reply: nothing. On his return to the

Master, he had to admit that his insults had had no effect; the

dead hadn’t reacted. ‘Ah,’ said the Master, ‘perhaps they didn’t

think your insults were worthy of reply. Go back to the cemetery,

but this time sing their praises. If you do that, they are bound

to respond.’ The young man returned to the cemetery, and in a

different tone of voice said the most flattering things to the

dead. But again – nothing, silence…

Really disappointed, and feeling guilty that he hadn’t been

eloquent enough, the young man went back to his Master. ‘They

didn’t react then either,’ he said. The Master smiled at him and

replied, ‘Well, learn that you must be like them: whether you

receive blame or praise, you must not be affected; do not react.’

Two Paths

Godliness is everything.

Everything is Godliness.

Where the two paths converge, there is God Himself.

The Gateway

A sense of nothingness doesn't mean being everybody's doormat.

In fact, just the opposite:
A sense of nothingness is your gateway to infinite powers.

T. Freeman

Nothingness

Nothingness is the medium through which all energy moves,
from above to below and from below to above.

Below, in man, a sense of nothingness that transcends ego.
Above, a Nothingness that transcends all boundaries and planes.

The nothingness below fuses with the Nothingness above,
locking heaven and earth in an intimate embrace.
So that God is found amongst the truly humble.

C’est la poésie que l’on aime chez les êtres ...

« C’est la poésie que l’on aime chez les êtres et que l’on cherche chez eux : quelque chose de léger, de lumineux, que l’on a besoin de regarder, de sentir, de respirer, quelque chose qui apaise, qui harmonise, qui inspire.

Mais beaucoup n’ont pas encore compris cela, ne s’en préoccupent pas, et même s’ils essaient d’améliorer leur apparence extérieure, leur vie intérieure ordinaire ne cesse de transparaître.

Alors, désormais, cessez d’abandonner la poésie aux poètes qui l’écrivent. C’est la vie qui doit être poétique. Eh oui, l’art nouveau, c’est d’apprendre à créer et à répandre la poésie tout autour de soi, à être chaleureux, expressif, lumineux, vivant ! »

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Vivez dans la poésie !

Ne voir partout que des visages ternes,
tristes, crispés, fermés, révoltés, 
eh bien, ce n’est pas un très beau spectacle ! 

Et même si on n’a aucune raison d’être triste ou malheureux,
en les voyant, on est désagréablement influencé : 
on rentre chez soi avec un malaise qu’on communique
à toute la famille. Voilà la vie que les humains sont 
continuellement en train de se créer mutuellement …
Pourquoi ne font-ils pas toujours l’effort de présenter 
partout un visage ouvert, souriant, heureux ?

Ils ne savent pas comment vivre constamment 
cette vie poétique grâce à laquelle ils seront émerveillés
les uns des autres.

La véritable poésie n’est pas dans la littérature,
la véritable poésie est une qualité de vie intérieure.
Tout le monde aime la peinture, la musique, la danse,
la sculpture, les arts …, alors pourquoi ne pas mettre 
sa vie intérieure en harmonie avec ces couleurs, 
ces rythmes, ces formes, ces mélodies ?

The Needle

You are God's needle with which He sews the many patches of Creation into a single garment for His glory.

At one end, the needle must be hard and sharp, to squeeze through the ordeal. But the other end must have a vacant hollow, a nothingness with which to hold the thread.

With the world, be firm and sharp. Within, feel how small you are before the Infinite.

Beyond Limitations

We all have limitations --after all, are we not of flesh and blood? There comes a time, however, when you have to break out beyond those limits. You've got to do more than you can possibly do.

The truth is, you not only have an animal soul, but a Godly soul as well --and Godliness knows no limits.

Nos idées déterminent nos actes

Vous dites que vous faites des efforts
pour vous transformer et que vous n’y arrivez pas,
que toutes vos bonnes résolutions ne servent à rien ?

Ne vous découragez pas,
les transformations profondes ne se font pas tout de suite,
il faut du temps. Si vous maintenez vos bonnes résolutions
sans cesse présentes dans votre tête, tôt ou tard,
vous finirez par agir comme vous le désirez.

Regardez un serpent : lorsqu’il veut se faufiler dans un trou,
il commence par y introduire sa tête et quelque soit
la longueur de son corps, la queue est finalement obligée
de suivre. Comme il avance en sinusoïde,
sa queue peut donner l’impression d’aller
en sens inverse de la tête, mais en réalité,
elle finit toujours par passer là où la tête est passée ;
elles ne sont pas séparées, et la queue suit toujours la tête.

Symboliquement, la tête représente la faculté de réfléchir,
de prendre telle ou telle orientation, et obligatoirement
le reste du corps, c’est-à-dire l’exécution, l’application suit.

Voilà l’avantage de chercher toujours à penser juste ;
même si maintenant, vous n’agissez pas en accord avec
vos idées, en insistant, en continuant à maintenir au moins
une bonne attitude mentale, vous finirez par entraîner
toutes les forces de résistance en vous
et par agir comme l’esprit l’a dicté.

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Jesus said, ‘Have salt in yourselves ...

"Jesus said, ‘Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one
another.’ What is the relationship between salt and this peace
that must reign between beings? In some countries, guests are
welcomed with an offering of salt and bread. What is being
implied here is the harmonious way men and women relate when they
eat together. For people do not sit down at the same table to
enter into conflict and settle old scores – even if that does
sometimes happen!
And what is the nature of this salt which allows us to live in
peace with one another? In one of his talks, Master Peter Deunov
said, ‘Only by means of salt, by means of the balance between
your head and your heart, will you establish inner peace.’ So
salt is the result of an inner harmony between the two principles
– the masculine and the feminine, the head and the heart. It is
thanks to this harmony between the two principles that we find
peace, and once we live in peace in ourselves we can also live in
peace with others."

Your Will

If you do His will only because it makes sense to you,

Vous ne pourrez rien trouver à l’extérieur de vous que vous n’ayez trouvé en vous.

Vous ne pourrez rien trouver à l’extérieur de vous
que vous n’ayez trouvé en vous.
Car même ce que vous trouvez extérieurement,
si vous ne l’avez pas déjà trouvé intérieurement,
vous passerez sans le voir.

Plus vous aurez découvert l’amour, la sagesse,
la beauté intérieurement, plus vous les découvrirez
autour de vous. C’est une loi.

Vous pensez que si vous ne voyez pas certaines choses,
c’est qu’elles n’y sont pas. Si, elles y sont, et si vous
ne les voyez pas, c’est parce qu’il faut les développer
encore plus en vous.

Le monde extérieur n’est fait que des reflets
du monde intérieur, donc ne vous faites pas d’illusion,
vous ne trouverez jamais la richesse, la paix, le bonheur
extérieurement si vous n’avez pas d’abord fait le travail
de les trouver intérieurement.

A Fire

A person must be on fire --the fire of an altar burning up the ego inside, bringing the animal close to the divine.
