Un homme seul ou une femme seule ne peuvent pas donner naissance à un enfant

"Un homme seul ou une femme seule ne peuvent pas donner naissance
à un enfant ; pour cela ils doivent être deux. Mais, par la
parole, chacun séparément peut devenir créateur grâce aux deux
principes masculin et féminin qui sont contenus dans sa bouche :
la langue et les deux lèvres. Tous les Évangiles ne sont que
l’illustration de cette vérité. C’est grâce à la toute-puissance
du verbe que Jésus a fait des miracles. Il a dit au paralytique :
« Lève-toi, prends ton lit et marche ! » et le paralytique a
marché. Pour ressusciter Lazare, il s’est rendu devant son
tombeau et a crié d’une voix forte : « Lazare, sors ! » Pour
ressusciter la fille de Jaïre, il lui a pris la main et a dit :
« Enfant, lève-toi ! » Quand il guérissait des possédés, il
ordonnait au démon : « Sors de cet homme ! » Quand il a guéri un
lépreux, il a dit : « Je le veux, sois pur ! » Lorsqu’il a apaisé
la tempête, il a dit à la mer : « Silence, calme-toi ! »
La façon même dont notre corps est construit contient tout un
enseignement sur les deux principes masculin et féminin. Il nous
apprend que c’est seulement en bas, dans le plan physique, que
les deux principes sont séparés : physiquement, sauf cas tout à
fait exceptionnels, un être humain ne peut être qu’homme ou
femme. Mais, en haut, dans le plan divin, les deux principes sont
réunis comme ils sont réunis dans la bouche ; c’est seulement en
haut que l’être humain est créateur et libre."

Do not worry about someone taking your place.

"Do not worry about someone taking your place. No one can take
another’s place. We each have our place in the universe, because
God has made us unique beings, endowed with a specific vibration.
On the physical plane, of course, unjust, dishonest people can
succeed in ousting others, but on the spiritual plane this cannot
happen. The place God gives each one of us is absolutely the one
we deserve. In this domain there is absolute justice.
No one creature is able to take another’s place, but each must
develop to the point where it attains the perfection God
envisaged for it. Even if others have a more important part to
play, it rules where it is, because God gave it that place. By
virtue of being alive, each creature secretes a quintessence of
itself, which is specific to it. No other creature can take its
place; it remains unique and irreplaceable for all eternity."

Celui qui se maîtrise lui-même ...

Celui qui se maîtrise lui-même et qui possède le juste discernement de ce qui est à lui et de ce qui n'est pas à lui se trouve au-dessus des circonstances et des conditions qui gouvernent et asservissent la vie des ignorants. En changeant ses états d'âme, il peut agir sur les états d'âme autour de lui et donc sur l'orientation finale des évènements. Ainsi une situation catastrophique peut devenir bénéfique. Celui qui ne convoite pas ce qui ne lui appartient pas est libre. Il a trouvé l'essentiel en lui et il en prend soin.

Human beings have descended from the heavenly regions

"Human beings have descended from the heavenly regions through a
process known as involution. During this descent into matter, as
they drew further and further away from the primordial fire they
took on bodies of increasing density, right down to the physical
body, just like in winter, when we are faced with the cold and
have to wear increasingly thick clothing, from a vest and shirt
through to an overcoat!
Now, on the way up again, human beings must undress,
symbolically speaking, that is, strip away anything that weighs
them down: instead of seeking to amass, they must learn to
renounce, cut loose and free themselves. Amassing encourages
descent. Any thought, feeling or wish inspired by the instinct to
possess clings to the subtle bodies like frost clinging to the
branches in winter. The spring sunshine has to return so that the
frost can melt and humans can recover their true being."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

everything that exists in heaven has a correspondence on earth

"You should have it firmly in mind that everything that exists in
heaven has a correspondence on earth, because earth is a
reflection of heaven. Yes, just a reflection, and if you really
want to know fulfilment, which is a state of the soul and spirit,
you must look for it not on earth but in heaven.
Humans are spirits that have come from heaven, and to be able to
work on the physical plane they have had to enter a body. The
physical body is to the human spirit what the universe is to God.
Yes, the universe, nature, represents God’s physical body. God
has a body formed of numerous centres and organs, and our body is
in the image of God’s. But our body can only come to life if it
is inhabited by the spirit. The spirit is the manifestation of
the presence of God within us. When the spirit goes, it takes
consciousness, life, with it, and all that remains in the body
are the physical elements, which eventually disintegrate. To
remain alive, the body, the earth, must never sever their
connection with the spirit, with heaven. "

Celui qui ne peut pas être vrai ne peut pas être dans la dignité.

Toute créature a droit au respect, à la compréhension et à la dignité. Comprendre un être, c'est le guérir - et se guérir soi même - en le reconnectant à la source. La dignité, c'est pouvoir être soi-même dans la pureté et ne pas être obligé de se cacher et d'accepter d'être dénaturé. Celui qui ne peut pas être vrai ne peut pas être dans la dignité.

« Le soleil est son père, la lune est sa mère, le vent l’a porté dans son ventre et la terre est sa nourrice. »

"Nous ne connaissons l’or qu’à l’état solide. Mais, en réalité, ce
métal que l’on va chercher dans les entrailles de la terre,
existe d’abord à l’état igné, et c’est de lui que parle Hermès
Trismégiste quand il dit : « Le soleil est son père, la lune est
sa mère, le vent l’a porté dans son ventre et la terre est sa
nourrice. » Oui, c’est le soleil qui est le père de l’or, c’est
lui qui le produit, chacun de ses rayons est de l’or ; et la lune
est le reflet de cet or. À travers l’air, les rayons du soleil
viennent jusqu’à la terre qu’ils pénètrent, et c’est là qu’ils se
condensent. Donc, le soleil produit l’or à l’état éthérique et la
terre le condense. Dans le soleil, l’or est trop volatil, sa
condensation ne peut se produire que dans les entrailles de la
terre où se trouvent certains matériaux capables de le fixer.
Et vous, au printemps, lorsque vous regardez le soleil se lever,
pensez que vous êtes une sorte de terre dans laquelle l’or de ses
rayons peut venir se déposer et se fixer."

‘Let the dead bury their own dead.’

"Do your best to consider only people’s divine nature, their soul
and spirit; it is this nature you must serve. Don’t concern
yourself with satisfying the whims of their limited, selfish
lower nature. You will say, ‘Yes, but if I don’t give in to
people’s wishes at home, or among my friends or at work, I will
cause nothing but upset.’ Let them be annoyed; continue to love
and serve only their divine aspect!
Jesus said, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead.’ How should these
words be interpreted? What are these dead? They are in fact
people’s lower nature. The lower nature, the personality, should
be classed with the dead, and if we try so hard to please and
satisfy all its whims, we ourselves end up dying. Jesus did not
mean the dead in the cemeteries; they are where they should be,
and only their bodies are dead, while their soul is alive. The
dead Jesus speaks of are people who have no spiritual life,
because they give in too much to their lower nature, and you must
not waste your time and energy pleasing them."

Tu te tiendras droit devant le Père

Tu te tiendras droit devant le Père, tu marcheras droit sur ses voies. Tu étudieras ses lois et tu les appliqueras. Si tu tombes, tu te redresseras devant lui et te tiendras dans sa Lumière en pleine conscience. Tu apprendras à être neutre devant la réussite ou devant l'échec car le Père est le bien et en toute chose c'est le bien qu'il t'offre. C'est pourquoi il faut apprendre à accueillir sa volonté sans jugement et surtout sans sensibilité humaine et mortelle.

The truths of Initiatic Science

"The truths of Initiatic Science often reappear in some form or

other as rules or customs instituted by humans, which last at

least for a time. One example of this is the right of sanctuary.

In olden times, if someone guilty of a crime was being pursued

and was able to enter the sanctuary of a god, they came under the

protection of that god, and no one had the right to seize them.

The custom still existed in the Middle Ages when, of course, the

churches served as refuges, which can still happen today. This

tradition is based on knowledge concerning the spiritual life:

anyone who succeeds in finding refuge in God, despite being

pursued by inner or outer enemies, finds safety. While they

remain on high, on the peaks of the soul and the spirit, their

pursuers are kept at bay."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Tu honoreras la vie car elle est l'envoyé du Père, son premier-né et à travers elle, c'est le Père que tu honoreras.

Tu honoreras la vie car elle est l'envoyé du Père, son premier-né et à travers elle, c'est le Père que tu honoreras. Si tes yeux ne voient plus la vie, ouvre tes oreilles et écoute l'enseignement d'une Intelligence supérieure qui à travers le Verbe te dit que la Mère est vivante et qu'elle apparaît dans les minéraux, les végétaux, les animaux et les hommes. Derrière ce monde visible, se tient un monde invisible, subtil, qui est l'autre dimension de la vie : le monde des Anges, des Archanges et des Dieux. C'est ce monde supérieur qui rend vivant le monde visible et lui ouvre un sens sacré, éternel, divin.

Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect

"Jesus said, ‘Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect’. Even
if divine perfection is an ideal we humans cannot achieve, we
must work to build our lives on this basic thought. It is very
important to have a basic thought around which all our other
thoughts gravitate; it is the framework holding up the whole
edifice.
So make divine perfection your primary consideration. Then, the
various thoughts that pull you in all directions and weaken you
will find their master; they will be forced to submit and to take
part in your inner work of regeneration. Every foreign thought
trying to enter you will be captured and placed in the service of
the divine world as you decide. Any animals wanting to trample
the flowers in your inner garden will have to submit to this
basic thought; it will open the door only to the beings of light
from the invisible world, which will come to work on you."

Whenever you experience a period of sadness or discouragement ...

"Whenever you experience a period of sadness or discouragement, do

not think it is there to stay and nothing can be done about it.

Such a state will not last, and already happiness is getting

ready to visit you. But in the meantime, so as not to endure this

state passively, tell yourself it is possible to make use of it

for your inner work. Suffering is like the compost, even the

manure, you place around flowers and shrubs to make them more

vigorous and more beautiful. Yes, here we have yet another

analogy between the psychic plane and the physical plane. And if

you study how your psyche reacts to this or that prompting from

your inner or outer world, you will see that it is possible to

draw energy even from your negative states.

What humans lack is knowledge of the subtleties of the inner

life. There is a whole laboratory inside us, enabling us to

research which elements allow us to have the right attitudes. It

is impossible to just describe these elements theoretically; we

must each find them for ourselves, by observing how the events of

our daily life affect us."

The Flood

The Flood  

Usually water refers to purifying the environment, the light of Hassadim 

(mercy). However here the strong streams of water surrounding man became 

inundating and deadly. What are these forces that outwardly resemble waters, 

but in reality bring along death? When external and all sorts of conflicting 

thoughts and desires overwhelm a person, this becomes like the Flood. 

Although the Flood comes as a very harsh force that can destroy everything, 

this very force purifies with its harshness.  

However, it only purifies us if we, as Noah did, erect the ark around ourselves. 

Noah represents a person who falls into a state in which the heavy waters of 

the Flood try to distract him from the path. If a person continuously consorts 

with foreign forces and intentions, they will turn into the Flood. He will not be 

able to escape them. He will be constantly bombarded by the deadly desires 

of the surrounding people, dictating to him what he has to do.  

Some crave money; others want power or fame, etc…Everything around us is 

impregnated with somebody else's desires. Only one thing can save one's 

soul: an even deeper connection with the purpose of creation. We have to 

build a surrounding layer, a screen, around ourselves. This screen will protect 

us from outside obstacles that attempt to distract, seduce or frighten a person. 

If we cannot construct the protective shield that will shelter us from all the 

useless folly of this world, we will not able to progress spiritually. The ark 

represents a make-shift screen, this is a shielding force that one builds for 

themselves. One who holds the purpose of creation cannot be exposed to any 

other influences. The ark is only one of many actions that we need to perform 

if we want to advance spiritually.  

Man Becomes Slightly Better – Slightly Better Becomes the World  

Noah is the next man after Adam. He starts the entire journey on Earth. In 

Hebrew, earth is "Eretz"; it is our internal desire "Ratzon". One cannot embark 

on their journey on Earth (transform something inside) without first securing 

this power, support, and internal system which will free man from any external 

obstacles. The ark is the means that Noah (that is, the soul that reached this 

spiritual degree) chose in order to progress towards the goal.  

The entire world exists inside of our soul. Representatives of the entire 

existence and the root of the world are inside of it. We exist at the highest 

level of our world, meaning that our soul includes all the animate, vegetative, 

and inanimate souls.  

The entire world changes in accordance with us: we become slightly better – 

slightly better becomes the world. By ascending, that is correcting ourselves 

by overcoming obstacles we elevate the rest of nature along with ourselves. 

In this Chapter, the example of Noah shows us how we should behave when 

we find ourselves in a peculiar environment or face obstacles. In such a state, 

we have to take the already corrected parts of our soul (i.e. animated, 

vegetative, and inanimate, what is called “male and female of all flesh”) and 

build around ourselves an ark. That is, a surrounding shield that will protect us 

from all external obstacles. This shield has to be absolutely altruistic. If we 

need nothing, if we are completely indifferent to all but the purpose of 

creation, then nothing around can harm us. If we are connected with the 

purpose of creation we simply raise above all the obstacles so much that we 

stop feeling them. They cannot affect us or alter our path.  

The Creator instructs us how to build our protective shield from above. It is 

said that Noah enters this shield and the Creator "closes the door behind 

him". Enormous impure and infringing forces separate Noah from the Creator. 

Noah had to work against them all the time so that he could correct all these 

infringing forces during the next stage – the Flood. This is the essence of our 

advancement.  

It is necessary to try isolating oneself, to limit oneself from external influences. 

This is what is called making the ark. We need to examine ourselves a little; to 

brake away from all infringing forces of this world and try not to interact with 

the cruel environment. We need to do it in order to bear something inside of 

ourselves that will subsequently trigger the development of humankind. 

"Humankind" refers to the forces that help one to attain the Creator. Then all 

the forces that are about to drown us are gradually corrected, their correction 

allows us to reach the purpose of creation. However, under no circumstances 

should any influence be interpreted as a negative one. On the contrary, one 

should relate to everything as necessary, and as the desired means for the 

attainment of the goal.  

This is why the powers that emerge as obstacles are not really harmful. On 

the contrary, one should feel in them the Creator's call to use them for the 

next spiritual correction. Afterwards, we will be able to step on the new land. 

This land will be purified for us, and we will look at it differently. Then, truly, we 

will be able to continue our spiritual ascent and our spiritual growth.  

When Noah Goes Forth From The Ark, The Creator Offers A Covenant 

With Him  

Noah resides in his ark until the land, that is, all the desires ("Eretz" – land, 

from the word "Ratzon" – desire) are completely immersed in the waters and 

drawn in it, meaning in the light of Hassadim (in Kabbalah, water refers to the 

purifying light of Hassadim). Until the rest of the desires are sufficiently 

purified, Noah remains in the ark so as to utilize them correctly, that being 

only for the sake of his inner personal desire. How did this happen? First, 

Noah managed to separate his desires from the desires of other people, 

developing his yearning for the spiritual as the sole driving force. He then 

turned back to the remaining desires, the actions of this world, and began 

using them for spiritual progress.  

When Noah goes forth from the ark, the Creator offers him a Covenant, that 

is, a connection, a union with Him. Why was this Covenant offered? Its 

purpose was to receive strength from the Creator and commence living. 

Meaning Noah has to use these newly received desires, the new bare ground 

that emerged out of the waters, and cultivate his further states on top of them. 

The correction Noah performed (that is, had kept all of his inner spiritual 

forces suppressed), resulted in his worthiness of having the ground emerge. 

The land previously cursed by the Creator now yields fruit and bears life, 

which gradually brings man towards the correction, the purpose of creation.  

The Secret Meaning of the Bible 

M. Laitman 

We are all captives of our egoistic nature

We are all captives of our egoistic nature. Freeing ourselves means to 

overstep the limits of our world and enter the Upper Reality. Since we 

are entirely in this world’s grip, we can get free only if, in spite of our 

natural egoistic environment, we artificially surround ourselves with 

people, who share our views and aspirations, and fall under the power of 

the environment ruled by the laws of the Upper World. Freeing ourselves 

from the egoistic bonds and revealing the property of bestowal is our 

realization of free will.
