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

"Do I have a responsibility to make the whole world beat to my drum?" No, nor could you. You beat your drum, and the Universe will respond to the drum that you are beating… There are as many different worlds being lived by as many different perceivers of the world as there are perceivers of the worlds.

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.

As for the Godly soul inside—it is the unknowable itself.

Speak to that: Look past the outer shell and talk to the unknowable inside. Only from there can come real change.

T. Freeman

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. »

Life in words

Not with toil and not with struggle, but by the word of His mouth did the One Above create His world.

Not with toil and not with struggle, but with words of wisdom and kindness does He require we sustain it.

If so, what is the effort He demands from us?

That we invest our very essence in those words, as He invested His very essence within this world He made.

Everyone

Everyone in your life was specially summoned to help you think and feel things you have never thought or felt before.
The Universe.

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."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Celui qui parvient à s'éveiller dans l'être du présent

Celui qui parvient à s'éveiller dans l'être du présent devient semblable à la source : il découvre la force qui est en lui. Et rien ne peut troubler celui qui sait faire jaillir la source en lui. 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. 

Y. Berg

Cleaning Up

Everyone has his share of “not good”. It’s impossible that a physical being should be void of faults. The point is not to flee or hide from them. Nor is it to resign yourself to it all. It is to face up to the fact that they are there, and to systematically chase them away.

Recognizing who you are and gradually cleaning up your act --it may look ugly, but it is a divine path.

T.Freeman

There is nothing that you're wanting to know ...

There is nothing that you're wanting to know that you do not have the capacity to understand fully. And there is nothing that you're wanting to know that the Universe does not already know that you want to know, and has already begun the process of answering. And so, go forth in excited anticipation that the new ideas will continue to bubble forth, and that the Universal Forces will continue to come forth in loving, benevolent, eternal answering to that which you are about. There is great love here for you. We are complete
