God is everywhere in the universe he himself created.

"God is everywhere in the universe he himself created. And yet he
is separate from the universe. To shed light on this notion, we
can use an image, that of the snail. The snail’s body is tender
and soft, while its shell is hard. At first sight, the snail
seems to have nothing in common with its shell. Yet, the snail
itself secreted it, and the shell has gradually grown, because
the snail’s etheric body, which penetrates the tiny cracks, has
pushed the particles of matter apart.
The snail is separate from its shell but secreted it itself and
made it bigger. And in the same way, God is not the universe, but
he created it as a fluidic emanation of himself, which then
condensed to form worlds, constellations and galaxies. To keep
the universe evolving, God tirelessly continues to permeate it
with his life. So the universe, which is alive, transforms itself
as a result of the life of the Lord, but the Lord is a separate
entity. He is everywhere in the universe but not one with it."

A Little Smarter

If God were only a little smarter than me,

He wouldn't be my God.

The Escape Hatch

All of us need a small hatch through which we can climb out of our little spaceship once in a while. So we can look at ourselves from the outside and see what is good and what needs repair and what could be put to better use. So we can look beyond ourselves and see how we compare to the vast universe. And then we can grow.

In fact, we all have just such a hatch. We don't use it much, however. Because we are so fearful of leaving our comfortable, well-defined selves and venturing into the vast Beyond.

Being Not That

Be simple. In whatever you do, in whatever form you take, in whatever you decide you are, retain memory that you are not that.

T.Freeman

Mental Limits

Just as wisdom is not something you can touch with your hands, so Godliness is not something you can grasp with your mind.

The mind cannot experience God. G-d is not an idea. God is real.

God is better found through inspired deeds than by inspiring thoughts.

Snake Poison

Without its poison, the snake is no more and no less than any other of God's creatures. Whether it be the snake of hatred, of greed, of indifference, of jealousy, of pride, of any foul aspect of human character--they are only evil because of their poison, the poison of "I exist."

Because when "I exist," there is no room left for any other being in the world to exist.

Without the "I", even jealousy and pride can be glorious animals, driving a person to greater good.

Mind and Heart

See how beautifully mind and heart complement one another:

The heart is an extremist; unbridled, it will allow a single emotion to fill its entire space. But the mind finds balance and harmony, even between opposites.

The mind is cold and aloof. Reality, to the mind, is but a curiosity. But the heart lives in a real world, moved by even the slightest touch.

When the heart listens to the vision of the mind, it too learns to carry a counterpoint of voices, even the voices of other hearts. When the mind listens to the depths of the heart, then its vision can go out and change the world.

The Convenient Mind

The mind will always find the answer most convenient for itself. Even when searching for spirituality, for enlightenment, the mind will only rest where there is enough room to remain a mind. Therefore, on its own, it can never come to know the Infinite.

To reach the Infinite takes a sense that is beyond the need to exist, the essential knowledge of the inner soul. Only once the mind has drunken from that fountain can it be trusted to see beyond itself.

Nous ne devons pas croire des choses et vivre en dehors d'elles

Nous ne devons pas croire des choses et vivre en dehors d'elles. Nous devons réellement être vrais de haut jusqu'en bas. Et nous devons travailler sur nous. Bien sûr qu'aujourd'hui c'est pour ainsi dire une oeuvre de titan. Ce sont des travaux d'Hercule qui nous sont demandés. Si nous n'avons pas la forte volonté de cheminer dans un monde complètement différent de ce que l'on nous propose comme modèle, ce n'est pas possible... La base de tout, c'est l'étude, la discipline. Quand on veut faire quoi que ce soit dans la vie, il faut une discipline, il faut respecter les lois et les anciens. Et quand tu auras un minimum de maîtrise, peut-être que tu feras apparaître quelque chose de nouveau qui n'était pas connu. Alors, tu embelliras cette tradition.

Everyone knows how important it is to be attentive

"Everyone knows how important it is to be attentive, but attention
has several aspects to it. The most important aspect is obviously
the sustained application we need to do our work properly, to
understand what is being said to us, to read a book, and so on.
But there is also another form of attention called
self-observation or introspection. It consists in being aware at
each moment of the day of what is happening inside us, in
discerning the currents, the desires and thoughts that move
through us, the influences and conflicts we experience. This form
of attention is not sufficiently developed.
It says in the scriptures: ‘Keep alert. Like a roaring lion your
adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to
devour.’ Obviously, you won’t see a lion or the devil on the
physical plane; the threat comes from the inner realm. It is
there that desires, plans, passions and cravings are on the
lookout, seeking to swallow you up. And if you do not pay
attention, you will be devoured. "

C'est un beau chemin que de redevenir des animistes

C'est un beau chemin que de redevenir des animistes. Nous devons trouver les moyens d'aller les uns vers les autres et de nous parler. Il faut que les hommes se parlent dans l'amitié, dans le respect, dans la simplicité. Il faut aller vers les arbres, vers les animaux, parler aux nuages, aux étoiles, à la nature tout entière. Il faut reconnecter toutes ces sphères. Dans le cerveau, il y a des synapses qui se connectent, et plus il y a de connexions, plus il y a la vie, plus il y a l'amour, plus il y a l'intelligence, plus il y a la richesse.

If you allow your thinking to be wasted

"If you allow your thinking to be wasted, day in, day out, on all
kinds of trivialities, do not be surprised if you come up against
great difficulties, when you come to meditate and connect with
the light. So many people complain, ‘Oh, it is so difficult to
concentrate on a spiritual subject! I am constantly invaded by
all kind of thoughts and feelings that take me elsewhere.’ And
there have even been dramatic cases of this. In meditation you
come face to face with yourself, and some people are so
overwhelmed and caught unawares by the nature of the impressions
and currents moving through them, they imagine these are being
sent to them by other people, who are ill-intentioned and out to
harm them. But attributing the turmoil you feel to an external
cause solves nothing.
Because of the way people lead their lives, they create within
themselves chaotic thoughts and feelings, which they then
increase and magnify. In the normal course of life, they may not
realize this; it is only when at last they fall silent and want
to stop and connect to the light that they feel invaded by all
kinds of undesirable presences. But they should not delude
themselves: they have attracted them. So begin by looking within
for the cause of your difficulties, and work to control your
thoughts: you will eventually get the better of them."

When you see how some people understand love

"When you see how some people understand love, how they express it
and what methods they use to obtain it, you realize they are
already dabbling in black magic without being aware of it.
If you set out to seduce someone, it implies that you wish to
impose yourself on them, to exert a form of violence over them,
and no one has that right; heaven does not allow it. But when
love takes a hold of some people, they are not interested in
knowing whether the one they love also loves them. They want to
be loved at any cost, and then they are capable of anything and
will even indulge in casting spells. But I am warning you never
to do that, for you will be engaging with demonic forces, and
once they have served you they will some day turn against you."

Il y a une relation particulière entre le monde visible et le monde invisible

Il y a une relation particulière entre le monde visible et le monde invisible, un lien de cause à effet. Pour chaque manifestation visible il y a une cause invisible et pour chaque cause il y a bien souvent un effet visible. Ainsi, les deux mondes du visible et de l'invisible agissent l'un sur l'autre. Le monde sacré, immuable, éternel est le point d'équilibre.

O.Manitara

Chaque être humain, animal, plante, pierre est entouré d'une aura qui lui permet d'avoir sa propre destinée et de communiquer avec son environnement.

Chaque être humain, animal, plante, pierre est entouré d'une aura qui lui permet d'avoir sa propre destinée et de communiquer avec son environnement. Le but est que cette aura baigne dans la grande aura de Lumière et d'énergie. C'est la religion universelle. Lorsqu'un homme a éveillé cette aura et qu'il a tous les organes pour le manifester, il devient un artisan de paix, un transmetteur, un créateur. À son contact, l'éveil devient possible. Lorsqu'un tel homme est sur la terre, tous les temples peuvent de nouveau être activés. Alors, c'est la floraison de la culture, de la paix, de la richesse.

Heaven Above, Man Below

Heaven above and the soul of man below are two halves of a single form, two converse hemispheres that fit together to make a perfect whole.

Attuned in perfect consonance, they dance a pas de deux of exquisite form, each responding to every subtle nuance of the other, mirroring and magnifying the most subliminal inner thought, until it is impossible to distinguish them as two.

Within the human being is the consciousness of God looking back upon Himself from within the world He has made.

We sit upon the vortex of Creation.

Three Possibilities

Everything that exists in your world is about communion with the Infinite. Everything is one of three:

A means to connect.

A path to fall away.

Or neutral ground

awaiting you to transform it into a connection.

But if something were not part of your purpose,

it would not exist in your world.

T. Freeman

On earth good needs evil.

"On earth good needs evil. Yes, in order to manifest, good needs
evil; otherwise, it goes to sleep, because there is no longer
anything there to stimulate it. Evil excites good, stimulates
good, and then good acts. It is thanks to evil that good is good.
If ugliness did not exist, we would not know how beautiful beauty
is, and, in the same way, if there were no evil, we would not
know what good is.
You want to annihilate evil? Fine, but the good will also be
annihilated, because evil is like the roots of good; if you tear
up the roots of a tree, it dies. Of course, that does not mean
that we must nurture and strengthen evil. No, it is strong enough
as it is; it does not need our help. But we must not try to
eradicate it either, and in any case it can’t be done. But we
need to know what attitude to adopt towards it so we can use it
for the good."

Become Truth

There is no truth about God.

Truth is God.

There is no one who learns Truth.

You become Truth.

There is no need to search for Truth.

You have inherited it and it is within you.

You need only learn quietness

to listen to that inheritance.

What will a person do who has not prepared?

"We must place ourselves in the service of the Lord, that is to
say, in the service of all that is most pure, noble and luminous
within us. But in order to be a good servant, we have to prepare,
learn and practise. Just look at what happens in everyday life:
would the first person who came along make a good employee, a
good secretary or a good minister, just because they sincerely
wanted to be one? No, they have to have studied first and
developed certain abilities and qualities. All the more so, then,
when it comes to entering the service of the Lord.
What will a person do who has not prepared? They will think they
are serving the Lord, when actually they are remaining in service
to their prejudices, their biases and their illusions. And that
is what fanatics do – under the pretext of serving God, they take
on the mission of fighting those they call ‘unbelievers’,
‘infidels’ and so on. Really, they are only serving dark entities
that are seeking to realize their own evil plans through them."
