Perpetual Freedom

No man can say he is free today because yesterday he was granted freedom.

Freedom is a source of endless energy. Freedom is the power behind this entire universe. Freedom is the force that brings existence out of the void.

You are free when you take part in that endlessness. When you never stand still. When you are forever escaping the confines of today to create a freer tomorrow.

Earned Living

All that can be cherished from this world,

All that makes life worth living,

Is that which is mined from its bowels through your own toil,

Fashioned from its clay by your own craft,

Fired in the kiln of your own heart.

That for which you bruised your hands and wearied your limbs,

For which you beat back the beast inside you,

For which you defied the entire world

The trophies that awaited you at the summit of your most grueling climb.

Oh, how precious, how resplendent a feast, how spectacular a monument,

The life forged with the tools of its own master!

T. Freeman

Moralists have heaped so much criticism on women!

"Moralists have heaped so much criticism on women! Among the main

reproaches made is their wish to be beautiful. And yet, it is not

a crime; on the contrary. If women did not seek beauty, they

would have brought generations of terribly ugly children into the

world. It is the mother who passes beauty on to her children; she

is the one who shapes them. This is why, throughout the time she

is carrying them, she must wish for beauty for them. All those

moralists who have condemned a woman’s wish to be beautiful have

not understood that it is the task of a woman, of a mother, to

bring beauty to the earth. Men do not think much about

cultivating beauty – they have other concerns. So if women didn’t

think about it!…

Women are right, therefore, to seek beauty, so that they can

pass it on to their children. They should understand, however,

where and how to look for true beauty, spiritual beauty, so that

one day they may bring heaven down to earth through their

children."

Pour chaque être, il y a une destinée.

Pour chaque être, il y a une destinée. Tout ce que tu vois a un sens. Tout ce que tu vois est réel. Tous les actes que tu fais dans ta vie ont un sens. Les pensées que tu as, les paroles que tu dis, les sentiments que tu vis, les êtres que tu rencontres, avec qui tu t'associes, tout cela a un sens universel.

O.Manitara

Comme la nutrition, la respiration nous met en contact avec la vie universelle.

"Comme la nutrition, la respiration nous met en contact avec la

vie universelle. Mais pour que cette relation soit complète,

riche, nous devons en être conscients et l’accompagner d’un

travail de la pensée.

Voici un exercice : en expirant l’air, pensez que vous arrivez à

vous étendre jusqu’à toucher les confins de l’univers… Puis, en

inspirant, sentez que vous revenez vers vous, vers votre ego qui

est comme un point imperceptible, le centre d’un cercle infini.

De nouveau, vous vous dilatez, de nouveau vous revenez vers le

centre… Vous découvrirez ainsi ce mouvement de flux et de reflux

qui est la clé de tous les rythmes de l’univers. En vous

efforçant de rendre conscient en vous ce mouvement de flux et de

reflux, vous entrez dans l’harmonie cosmique, et il se fait un

échange entre l’univers et vous : en inspirant vous recevez des

éléments de l’espace, et en expirant vous projetez en retour

quelque chose de votre coeur et de votre âme. Celui qui sait

s’harmoniser avec la respiration cosmique entre dans la

conscience divine."

Le nénuphar est patient, déterminé, il est sorti de la terre, de la vase, pour entrer dans l'eau

Le nénuphar est patient, déterminé, il est sorti de la terre, de la vase, pour entrer dans l'eau, il a dû faire face à des courants,  il sait ce qu'il veut et il va jusqu'au bout même s'il ne sait pas ce qu'il va découvrir. Quand il arrive à se poser sur l'eau, il a réussi et peut commencer à goûter le monde de l'air, frais et doux, la subtilité, la chaleur, les couleurs, les rayons du Soleil. Il est au-dessus de l'eau, il a émergé d'un monde. Puis il s'ouvre, et c'est la splendeur, la magnificence ; il est comme un Dieu. Il est dans la lumière, conscient que sa vie est très courte. Il s'ouvre avec le soleil et se ferme quand il disparaît. Il vit du soleil. Il accueille toutes les splendeurs, tout ce qui est plus grand. C'est de là que vient sa sublime beauté dont les hommes s'émerveillent.

O.Manitara

Ton âme prend la forme de ton oeil

Ton âme prend la forme de ton oeil et de ce que tu regardes. Si pour toi cette forme est de voir uniquement la fleur de lotus sans voir l'Enfant du Soleil qui est né au milieu, ta destinée est déjà écrite et elle ne sera pas la même que si tu vois les Dieux dans toutes les manifestations de la vie. Il t'adviendra selon ce que tu auras regardé et vu. L'oeil est le révélateur de ce qui est. L'oeil est le Nénuphar.

O.Manitara

If you are able to no longer rely on the physical presence of those you love, you will preserve your love and your joy forever.

"If you are able to no longer rely on the physical presence of
those you love, you will preserve your love and your joy forever.
You will no longer be subject to circumstances, because you will
live in the only world that is truly real: your inner world, with
which you are one. When you leave your inner world, you feel that
beings and things elude you; you are at the mercy of events.
Do you know how long your loved one will stay with you? No,
perhaps one day he or she will leave. So, try to raise your
consciousness to the higher realms, where circumstances have no
power over you, where the sun of love never sets. Leap into the
light of this eternal sun. While those you love abide within you,
no power in the world can take them from you."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

You do not have the right idea about what is most important to you.

"You do not have the right idea about what is most important to

you. How often you lose your peace! That’s right, you keep giving

away the peace of your soul for nothing, and then when you want

to stand before the Lord you do not have the right inner

expression. Sometimes, you also lend your heart and mind to

dubious activities: what good does that do you? But there is a

hierarchy of values in nature, and from now on you must

distinguish what is essential from what is unimportant. This is

how you will come into possession of your true riches.

In the Gospels we are shown that Jesus possessed this knowledge.

Having fasted for forty days in the desert, he was tempted by the

devil. ‘You are hungry’, Satan said to him. ‘Why do you not

change these stones into bread?… Throw yourself down from the top

of the temple; God will send angels to protect you… See all these

kingdoms: if you bow down before me, I will give them to you…’

But Jesus rejected the devil’s proposals, proving to him that

material advantages were of no interest to him compared to

spiritual possessions."

Les graines doivent un jour se lever

Les graines doivent un jour se lever, apporter une moisson et devenir des soleils sur la terre. Alors, elles rejoignent le Soleil, car tu deviens ce que tu es. Pour devenir, tu dois déjà être, sinon, tu ne deviens pas. La plante devient un Soleil, et elle va vers le Soleil parce qu'elle a fleuri. En ouvrant son oeil, le Nénuphar a contemplé le monde des Dieux. Quand ton oeil s'ouvre, ce doit être dans l'émerveillement, dans la floraison de Dieu, dans le plus grand. La fleur ne sort pas de la graine pour fleurir pour elle-même ; son intention est d'aller vers l'infini, vers le plus grand d'elle-même, sinon, elle ne pourrait pas développer une telle énergie. Il faut une énergie phénoménale pour devenir une fleur. Si tu veux t'arrêter aux frontières, jamais tu ne feras quelque chose de grand, mais si tu cherches à aller vers l'infini, tu accompliras des merveilles.
O.Manitara

In time, religions tend to become materialistic

"In time, religions tend to become materialistic: they give

increasing importance to form, and the spirit which once animated

them is eventually lost. Of course, humans are not ready to live

solely in the spirit, in principles; they need to rely on

material forms. But God has not given eternity to form. After a

while, each form becomes old and must be replaced.

Forms are always necessary, in any realm, but they cannot be

made to last indefinitely. This is why heaven periodically sends

initiates, sages, great Masters, to change the religious forms,

but only the forms, never the principles. The principles are

unchanging and are the same in all of humanity’s great religions:

love, wisdom, truth, freedom, sacrifice. Such principles are

unchanging and apply for all eternity."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Tu dois changer ton oeil pour regarder ce qui est beau en toute chose

Tu dois changer ton oeil pour regarder ce qui est beau en toute chose et ne pas enfermer les êtres dans la laideur par le mauvais oeil. Si tu arrives à regarder en l'autre ce qui est beau, même à travers sa chute, et si tu as la sagesse de le comprendre, tout le monde sera guéri et personne ne sera rejeté.

O.Manitara

Distortion Removal

The material world is a place where each thing seems to say, "Here I am and here I always was." —-as though it has no source.

In fact, only the Essence of All Things has no source. He was and is and always will be. This is the truth of what our world is trying to tell us: It is only trying to express —in a distorted way —its own true essence, the Essence of All Things that has no source.

But a time will be when the distortion shall vanish and we shall see nothing but that Essence.

Le Soleil aime la graine

Le Soleil aime la graine, il a créé un monde pour elle et il la protège. Il attend que toutes les conditions soient réunies, puis il commence à la chatouiller de ses rayons pour lui dire: « Éveille-toi, c'est le moment. » Il l'appelle, il lui parle, et quand il a réussi à lui transmettre son message et à l'éveiller, c'est à la graine de faire le travail. C'est à elle de s'activer pour s'élancer vers lui, mais si elle ne s'élance pas, jamais elle ne comprendra ce que le Soleil a voulu lui dire alors qu'elle était enfermée en elle-même, emprisonnée dans l'ignorance. Il faut une grande confiance en ses propres perceptions pour accepter de sortir dehors, pour voir qui t'a appelé quand tu n'es jamais allé dehors, quand tu ne sais pas ce que c'est. Il faut que tu franchisses toutes les  frontières, que tu sortes de toi pour aller dans un autre monde.

O. Manitarta

Aller vers la Lumière

Aller vers la Lumière, c'est aller vers ce qu'on ne connaît pas. Les hommes sont tels que même après leur mort ils cherchent encore ce qu'ils connaissent. La mort, c'est le connu, car la vie consiste essentiellement à aller vers l'inconnu. C'est ce que la nature te montrera. Il faut aller là où il n'est pas possible d'aller. Là où une graine ne peut pas aller, là va la fleur, mais elle ne peut pas y aller comme graine, elle doit se métamorphoser.

At The Threshold

At the threshold of the ultimate good,

the highest sparks of G‑dliness lie on the ground at our feet,

but we are too busy to bend down and pick them up.

Where the greatest of miracles occur,

wonders beyond imagination,

we are too preoccupied to lift our eyes and notice.

The table is set for a feast, but we are all asleep

—and who will wake us from our dreams?

A World Becoming

The times our generation lives in are not ordinary times. We dwell on the interface between two worlds—a world as it was and a world as it is meant to be.

The story of the cosmos does not go on forever. Just as your own life and the life of everyone you know has a beginning and a conclusion, so too does this entire cosmos. And since its Creator is innately good, so too the conclusion of His creation is the ultimate of good.

We know a world in the process of becoming. Soon will be a world where each thing has arrived. Arrived at the Essence of All Things

Building a house

"You set about building a house: a few weeks or months later,
there it is for all to see. But if you decide to create something
in the spiritual domain, no one, not even you, can see it. So,
faced with no apparent result you become assailed by doubts, and
at times you are tempted to abandon everything and involve
yourself, like anybody else, in an activity where the results can
be seen and felt. Do as you wish, but one day, amid even the
greatest success, you will feel something is missing inside. Why?
Because despite your many activities you have not touched what is
most important; you have not yet planted anything in the world of
light, wisdom, love, power and eternity.
One day, you will understand that your only real creations are
the inner ones, for they are the only ones that have their roots
in you. When you leave for the other world, you will have
precious stones – qualities and virtues – to take with you in
your soul, your heart and your spirit, and your name will be
written in the book of eternal life."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

We automatically associate good with God.

"We automatically associate good with God. It isn’t like that;
good, like evil, is only a servant of God. God is not what is
good; he is infinitely more than that. So stop wondering why he
allows evil to exist. God allows everything, and that is because
he uses everything.
And you too must understand how to use evil in the work you do,
just like chemists, who discard nothing, because they know how to
make use of all the products in their laboratory, even poisons –
everything is needed in a laboratory. So we must model ourselves
on the chemist. Since our inner laboratory contains both pure and
impure, light and dark, elements that lift us up and others that
drag us down, we should learn to use everything to achieve God’s
plans. Be thankful that heaven created you just as you are, and
set to work!"

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

The universe is a living, intelligent, organized whole, and, most importantly, it is organized hierarchically.

"The universe is a living, intelligent, organized whole, and, most
importantly, it is organized hierarchically. Yes, hierarchically,
from the densest, darkest regions to the divine world, which is
pure light. And if humans encounter so many difficulties and are
exposed to so much suffering, it is because they have not found
the right attitude to have towards this cosmic hierarchy, which
has God at its pinnacle.
But what is an attitude? A synthesis of what we are. It shows
the state of our physical body but also of our psychic and
spiritual bodies, as well as the quality of the energies
circulating and working inside us. Our attitude fashions us,
shapes us; it connects us to the different regions of space, and
when it is an attitude of respect, love and, above all,
gratitude, it attracts to us the currents and spirits of the
world of light."

L'imperfection est la condition de l'incarnation terrestre

L'imperfection est la condition de l'incarnation terrestre et c'est le lot de chaque femme et homme en ce monde. Néanmoins, cela ne veut pas dire que tu ne peux pas donner en toi une place de plus en plus grande à la Lumière, au monde divin. Bien au contraire, c'est le but de l'homme et c'est en percevant l'imperfection dans ce qu'elle est réellement que tu pourras trouver la force de cultiver en toi la véritable Lumière. La Lumière doit s'appuyer sur une vision juste des imperfections pour se stabiliser et grandir. Tu peux choisir une imperfection et décider de l'amener vers le Divin, vers quelque chose de plus grand. Alors, non seulement, elle s'enlèvera de toi, mais elle sera conduite dans la splendeur du Soleil.

O.Manitara

Close & Dark

When is the moon dark to us? When it is closest to the sun.

At its closest point, it disappears altogether. Then, once again, it is renewed and begins to shine.

At those points in life when we peer into darkness, groping for some clue why this is happening to us, where this is taking us, why this must happen to us. 

-those are the points of closeness to the light, the points of renewal.

T. Freeman

High Souls

To one whose self is his body, death of the body is death of the self. But for one whose self is his love, awe and faith, there is no death, only a passing. From a state of confinement to the body he makes the passage to liberation. He continues to work within this world, and even more so than before.

(...........)

Yes, in our eyes we see death. A body is buried in the ground and we must mourn the loss. But this is only part of the falseness of our world. In the World of Truth they are still here as before.And the proof: We are still here. For if these high souls would not be with us in our world, all that we know would cease to exist.

Young children spontaneously intuit that the world around them is alive

"Young children spontaneously intuit that the world around them is

alive: stones, plants and animals speak to them, and they speak

back. But when they tell adults what they see or hear, they

really feel they are not taken seriously: adults smile and make

fun of them. And even if they don’t make that much fun of them,

their materialistic attitude eventually rubs off on the children,

and then they have truly lost for good what is most important.

Yes, what is most important. For it is a great mistake to think

that humans are the only really live, intelligent beings in a

universe devoid of soul and language.

 All of nature is alive and intelligent; it is inhabited by

innumerable live, intelligent creatures, some much more

intelligent even than humans. And as soon as humans start to deny

this intelligence and this aliveness, blindness and death begin

to set in inside them."

Dans les mondes invisibles

Dans les mondes invisibles, il y a des êtres réels qui viennent se nourrir de tes pensées, de tes sentiments. Tu dois les voir et les en empêcher. Pour cela, tu dois avoir les réponses pour équilibrer ta vie et tu dois savoir ce que tu veux vivre. Ne crois surtout pas que quelqu'un viendra pour te faire vivre autre chose et te sauver. C'est toi qui dois maîtriser ta parole, tes gestes, tes émotions, diriger tes yeux et tes oreilles, et conduire tout cela vers une intelligence supérieure.

O.Manitara

Supermind

Intellect can orbit about the truth forever, but it has no feet to land.

There is a faculty, however, that doesn't need to travel to find Truth; 
for which Truth was never hidden or obscured. 
For it is a native of Truth from its birth.

It is not blind faith. It is an inner vision.

It is not mind, but even more essential to our very being.

It is the foundation from which meaningful thought begins and with it all things resolve. For it knows intimately that at which the mind can only peer through the shifting clouds.

Anyone wishing to progress on the path of evolution must give priority to the spirit, to light.

"Anyone wishing to progress on the path of evolution must give
priority to the spirit, to light. But in order to do so, they
have to at least feel they need to. Unfortunately you cannot
conjure up the need; you are either born with it or not,
depending on the life you led in other incarnations. If a being
comes into the world with a taste for spirituality, it will take
very little, just a book or a few words, to provide an
unstoppable impulse. Whereas, for a different person, even if the
greatest initiates are there to give them explanations and
advice, it won’t make any difference. As long as they harbour
tendencies that take them in quite a different direction, that is
where they will go.
So that you can enter your next incarnation with this need to
live the life of the spirit, you should, as from today, at least
make an effort to understand the benefits of doing so. Even if
you do not have much of a taste for it, begin to prepare the
ground. When you come back, your work will be easier, because you
will already have sown a few seeds."
