Les hommes mettent ce qu'ils veulent dans les mots

Les hommes mettent ce qu'ils veulent dans les mots, ils mettent leurs concepts, et en cela, ils sont emprisonnés. Il faut se libérer des concepts des hommes. Il faut entrer dans la vérité qui est sans concepts, dans ce qui est éternel, ce qui est vrai, pur, grand, vaste, universel. Pour cela, tu dois étudier les lois et nourrir ta pensée. La connaissance, c'est le précieux. Tu dois avoir une grande curiosité pour le monde. Tu dois être amoureux du savoir, de tout ce qui peut t'éclairer, éclairer ta lanterne.

The Creator gave us a physical body

"The Creator gave us a physical body, and this body is a

reflection of the universe. This is why we must study it, respect

it, be in awe of it and learn to relate to the divine world by

means of it.

Initiates in the past, who possessed the true science of the

human being, discovered how the different organs and parts of the

human body corresponded to the heavenly constellations. Thus, the

head is linked to Aries, the neck to Taurus, the arms to Gemini,

the stomach to Cancer, the heart to Leo, the kidneys to Libra,

the genitals to Scorpio, the thighs to Sagittarius, the knees to

Capricorn, the calves to Aquarius and the feet to Pisces. You too

should practise imagining how your body is linked to the great

cosmic body. In view of your efforts and your goodwill, mother

nature, Isis, will say, ‘This being is mindful of me, loves and

respects me. I will show myself.’ And, gradually, the great

Goddess will reveal herself to you."

Le ciel bleu

Le ciel bleu, c'est la paix et la sérénité, c'est ton âme. Derrière le ciel bleu, c'est ton chemin de destinée, ce que tu fais de ta vie. C'est pour cela qu'Hermès Trismégiste a dit : « Ce qui est en bas est comme ce qui est en haut et ce qui est en haut est comme ce qui est en bas » Nous sommes des étoiles. Mais est-ce la guerre des étoiles ou l'harmonie céleste, la symphonie des mondes ?... Il faut tous s'écouter, tous s'accorder. Il faut avoir une mélodie de base, et il faut vouloir créer une oeuvre. On vit dans l'oeuvre que l'on fait; cela peut être un bruit de casserole ou une symphonie universelle. Ce sont là de grands secrets qui étaient autrefois révélés dans les temples et réservés aux élus. C'est toi qui crées ta vie. Tu as un père, soit c'est un père du néant, du mensonge, soit c'est le Père de la Lumière. On reconnaît un fils à ses oeuvres, à ce qu'il fait sur la terre, pas au savoir qu'il a, éveille-toi. Est-ce qu'il faut des milliers d'années pour s'apercevoir que l'on fait du mal à l'autre et à soi-même avec ses paroles, avec ses yeux, avec sa pensée...? Il suffit de t'éveiller toi-même et de devenir un être qui vit avec son âme.

Release

Beginnings are hard. For good reason. If they were easy, we would prowl into each new venture like a snug fat cat.

When you begin pent up in an iron cage, a tiger comes out. A tiger that breaks through the door of its cage and pounces with a vengeance.

Bless those cages, those impossible brick walls, those rivers of fire that lie at the outset of each worthwhile journey. Without them we would be only as powerful as we appear.

War and Peace

From the time you begin to breathe, a war rages within.

From the time you attain citizenship of this world, you must struggle with your own frailties to stand upright, as a human being was meant to stand.

From the time you yearn to reach higher, you must engage the animal that comes dressed within this meat and bones, to carry it up with you. You must play its own game on its own turf, speak to it in its own language, meditate upon those matters that can inspire it, bear with it until you can bring it to the side of peace.

You must descend to a place of chaos and madness to redeem yourself from there.

And so this battle plays out not only in the spiritual arena of meditation and prayer, but also in the very human world of eating your meal, of raising a family, of worldly pursuits, infiltrating that world so as to conquer it, to rip away its veil and reveal the Godly sparks it contains, as Jacob dressed in the clothes of Esau, wrestling with his angel on the cold, sodden earth of a night to which he does not belong.

Yet at all times and in every situation you retain access to a point of perfect oneness within, a place where there is no opposition to fight, no choices that could be made, no existence at all, nothing other than “the Creator of all things to whom I am bound as one.”

It is not the battle that defines you, nor the role in which you must invest yourself, nor the opponent with whom you fight. You are none of these. You are that point of peace within.

And so, even your battle is in peace.

Re-piecing

At first all existed as a single whole in a single thought.

Then it fell below, shattering into tiny fragments and fragments of fragments.

Now Man picks up the pieces and says, “This seems to belong to this, and this relates to that,” until he reaches back to the whole as it was in primal thought.

It is not the cause and “why” of things that we find. Things are the way they are because that is how their Maker decided they should be. That is beyond the domain of intelligence.

The beauty of intelligence is that it finds the harmony and elegance of the whole as it was originally conceived.

T. Freeman

The Storyteller

Abandon the notion that there is a world and there is a God. It is as fallacious as thinking there is a story and there is a storyteller.

There is only the storyteller, expressing himself in the story he tells. There is only the Unknowable, expressing Himself as a world.

T. Freeman

Awake at Night

Just as we learn to walk by falling down, so we learn to be awake by groping in the dark.

When there is no support, no brightness to keep us on our toes, when we are all on our own, that is when we learn to be awake.

Truly awake—not because it is day, but because we are awake.

T. Freeman

Everyone, during the course of their life

"Everyone, during the course of their life, tries to fulfil their

desires and ambitions. For the sake of wealth, beauty, knowledge,

power, glory, and so on, they will expend their energy, their

time and their health. But once the goal has been achieved, what

happens? After a moment of satisfaction, they lose all interest

in what they have acquired. Yes, this often happens: once they

have acquired something, it no longer carries the aura it had

when it was only a wish, and so dissatisfaction and emptiness set

in.

The only way of avoiding the feelings of dissatisfaction and

emptiness that follow when we achieve our desires is to go in

search of something distant, so distant it is always beyond our

reach. This far off, inaccessible goal, which is beyond all

things and contains everything, we call God. On the path we must

travel to draw closer to him, we find love, wisdom, beauty,

strength and riches, without ever exhausting ourselves in futile

searching. "

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

"‘It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’

"‘It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle

than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ You

will sometimes hear Jesus’ words quoted by those who want to

condemn the rich, but it is by no means certain that his words

have been properly understood, for in order to understand them

you have to interpret them from the perspective of Initiatic

Science.

What is the main characteristic of the rich whom Jesus was

speaking about? Their inflated astral body. The astral body, in

other words the desire body, of the rich is monstrously inflated

because of their greed, to the point where it becomes like a

tumour, preventing them from passing through the door of the

kingdom of God. Whereas a camel, being abstemious, has a very

slim astral body, which is why Jesus says it can go through the

eye of a needle. Because it makes do with very little, a camel is

able to cross the desert, keeping going in conditions where

others would die.

This is how Jesus’ words should be interpreted. Those who are

obsessed by the need to acquire and possess create huge tumours

in their astral body. Disciples must, therefore, be careful to

control their wishes and desires so that they are able to pass

through the door of initiation, which is the door of the kingdom

of God."

The Highest High

There's nothing higher than finding truth on your own.

All worlds were made, all barriers put in place, every veil over Godliness hung, and the soul plummeted from its pristine height into the confusion of this harsh world—

—all for this one thing alone: That you should uncover truth on your own.

T. Freeman

Trust, Not Faith

People ask, “How can I have confidence in G‑d? Confidence that He will take care of me, that everything will work out for the best? Perhaps I don’t deserve the best. Perhaps I’ve already messed up so bad He no longer cares about me?”

These people have trust in G‑d all mixed up.

Trust is not faith. Faith is something you may or may not have. But trust is something you do. Hard.

Trust is when you are dragged by the currents of a mighty river and you cling with all your might to a rock you trust will not move. Trust is when, in times of trouble, you cleave so unshakably to the heavens that you pull them down to earth.

Trust is a mighty and heroic bonding of love. And, as with all love, it is reflected in the heart of the beloved. You bond with the Eternal Rock above, and the Above bonds with you. Then you are a fit vessel for all kinds of good.

Trust changes who you are. It changes your whole world. And it is available to anybody, at any moment, no matter who they were the moment before.

Le Bouddha a médité sous son arbre pour chercher le chemin

Le Bouddha a médité sous son arbre pour chercher le chemin: « Pourquoi la souffrance, la maladie, la mort, la misère, alors que le monde est splendeur ? » Il a décidé de ne plus bouger tant qu'il n'aurait pas atteint l'éveil, des jours sans manger ni boire. Sur le fleuve passe un bateau dans lequel on est en train de jouer de la harpe. Et là, le Bouddha a la révélation : si la corde n'est pas assez tendue, il n'y a pas le son juste, si la corde est trop tendue, elle casse. Il a découvert la loi du milieu. Le monde divin lui a parlé à travers une manifestation extérieure et, d'un seul coup, cela lui est apparu évident. Il aurait très bien pu entendre quelqu'un jouer de la harpe pendant des heures sans que rien ne se passe. Mais là, d'un seul coup, comme il était dans la pureté, le travail et la discipline, le monde divin s'est mis à lui parler. Quelque chose de banal est devenu le support de la révélation de la plus grande vérité.

L'eau

Si l'eau n'existait pas, nous ne pourrions pas exister sur la terre. C'est comme un Bien commun, qui n'appartient à personne mais qui est pour tous une bénédiction, une joie. C'est tout un monde de poésie, de beauté, de grandeur. C'est vraiment un être merveilleux, un monde parfait et grand. L'eau est vivante

(.....) Car il y a un être qui nous parle à travers l'eau, qui nous transmet un message; il y a un Dieu dans l'eau. En t'approchant de l'eau, tu t'approches de ton âme, tu t'approches vraiment de toi. Alors tu peux te connaître, tu peux te regarder dans le miroir. Tu peux écouter l'eau chanter, elle va te parler et te régénérer. Quand tu marches près d'un lac, d'une rivière, ou que tu écoutes une source couler, tu te sens mieux, tu te sens lavé. L'eau nous éveille et nous parle : elle a un message à offrir au monde.

Behold ! God the Lord passed by !

Behold ! God the Lord passed by ! And a

mighty wind rent the mountains round, brake in

pieces the rocks, brake them before the Lord :

but yet the Lord was not in the tempest.

Behold ! God the Lord passed by. And the

sea was upheaved, and the earth was shaken : but

yet the Lord was not in the earthquake.

And after the earthquake there came a fire :

but yet the Lord was not in the fire.

And after the fire there came a still small voice :

and in that still voice, onward came the Lord.

1 Kings, xix. 11, 12.

Il y a en chacun de nous des désirs

Il y a en chacun de nous des désirs, des aspirations et une capacité à les réaliser. Les plantes sont l'incarnation, l'âme de cette capacité, de ce désir fondamental d'évolution. La plante est en toi la force capable de passer de l'obscurité à la Lumière. Pense par exemple à la petite fleur du perce-neige, si fine et délicate et pourtant capable de traverser une croûte de glace. Pense aussi à ces immenses arbres dans les forêts : tous ont d'abord été de petites graines, faibles, fragiles, posées dans l'obscurité froide de la terre. Cette force habite en l'homme. Elle est une énergie considérable qui fait que nous pouvons accomplir des miracles... ou des calamités. Vers quels buts orientons-nous notre volonté, notre capacité d'action ? La plante connaît le secret : la lumière. Elle suit l'appel de la lumière et ainsi réussit à s'orienter, à trouver le chemin.

Truth Anywhere

Truth can come from anywhere—there is nothing that does not have its truth. Because, without a spark of truth, nothing can exist. Not even falseness.

Therefore, the wise man is he who knows how to learn truth from every person and discover the truth of each thing.

T. Freeman

Life's Roots

We are trees, living two lives at once.

One life breaking through the soil into this world. Where, with all our might, we struggle to rise above it, grapple for its sun and its dew, desperate not to be torn away by the fury of its storms or consumed by its fires.

Then there are our roots, deep under the ground, unmoving and serene. 

They lie deep within us, at our very core. For them, there is no storm, no struggle. There is only the One, the Infinite, for Whom all the cosmos with all its challenges are nothing more than a fantasy renewed every moment from the void.

Our strength is from our bond with them, and with their nurture we will conquer the storm. We will bring beauty to the world we were planted within.

T. Freeman

Conviction

All the elaborate proofs, all the philosophical machinations, none of that will never stand you firmly on your feet. There's only one thing that can give you that, and that's your own inherent conviction.

For even as your own mind flounders, you yourself know that this is so, and know that you believe it to be so. It is a conviction all the winds of the earth cannot uproot, that has carried us to this point in time, that has rendered us indestructible and timeless.

For it comes from within and from the heritage of your ancestors who believed as well, back to the invincible conviction of our father, Abraham, a man who took on the entire world.

The doubts, the hesitations, the vacillations, all these come to you from the outside. Your challenge is but to allow your inner knowledge to shine through and be your guide.

Inside is boundless power.

Les règnes de la terre vivent en l'homme

Les règnes de la terre vivent en l'homme mais d'une façon différente de leurs manifestations extérieures. Les Dieux, les Anges, les Animaux vivent aussi en lui. Ils forment l'anatomie de base de l'homme. La vision moderne de l'être humain et de son anatomie est tellement pauvre, mesquine et rabougrie... Selon elle, l'homme est un assemblage d'organes que la science a découpés et dont elle possède une cartographie parfaite. Cette vision réductrice est totalement dégradante pour l'être humain, elle mène à tous les excès, tous les abus et à une réduction de la condition humaine dans tous ses aspects.
