The whole of Christ’s teaching is summed up in the prayer he gave us: the Lord’s Prayer. In this book Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov demonstrates and explains this. ‘An Initiate,’ he says; ‘follows the methods of Nature. A tree with its roots and trunk, branches, leaves, blossoms and fruit, begins...

‘For most men and women expecting to become fathers and mothers, the formation of their child, its character, faculties, qualities and flaws all happen by chance – or by the will of God, which they have no very clear idea about. As they have, however, heard of the laws of heredity, they do expect...

‘The sephirotic Tree, the cabbalistic Tree of Life, is an image of the universe, which God dwells in and imbues with his essence. It is a symbolic representation of the divine life that flows through the whole of creation. The Tree of Life is a system which can be of tremendous importance in helping...

True Alchemy does not consist in the spectacular transmutation of base metals into gold, but in the spiritual transmutation of man’s own matter. Grains of sand are transformed into pearls; summer sees twisted, blackened vine-stocks burst into leaf and bow beneath the weight of their grapes;...

To be born a second time is to be born to a new life, the life of the Kingdom of God, the life of the great Universal White Brotherhood. Two thousand years ago, in Palestine, Jesus gave us the key to all spiritual work, when he said, ‘Unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot...

‘“Know thyself” was the maxim inscribed on the pediment of the temple at Delphi. What is this ‘self’ that we have to know? Is it a question of knowing our own vices and virtues, our strengths and weaknesses? No: to know oneself is to know the different bodies (the physical, etheric, mental,...

‘Every ideal, whatever it may be, has a magical quality: it is linked to us, and it transmits something of its very quintessence. If we have chosen a very high ideal, it will constantly supply us with beneficial particles and currents. Since we have shaped it and kept it in our mind and heart, it...

Yesod, the ninth Sephirah on the cabbalistic Tree of Life, is the symbol of a pure life. Purity has long been considered as privation leading to repression or perversion... a living death. Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov dispels this erroneous concept of purity by showing it to be a rich and creative...

‘In order to channel water, we dig ditches and furrows, and to light our houses we install electrical circuits. These examples are analogies: if we want to be able to pick up the spiritual energies passing through the atmosphere and make them circulate, we must install channels and circuits within...

ʻWe are here between the four walls of this room at the Bonfin, but we are also in the town of Fréjus. Fréjus is in the Var, the Var is in France, France is in Europe, and Europe is one of the continents on earth. The earth belongs to the family of planets in the solar system, the solar system...

‘When you open your eyes in the morning, what do you think about? The worries from the day before, the difficulties that await you, the problems you will have to tend to and so forth. This is not a good way to start the day. Set aside your worries till later, they can wait. Start by directing your...

‘Inhalation, exhalation... inhalation, exhalation... The ebb and flow of our breathing is the key to all the rhythms of the universe. When you become conscious of this movement within you, you enter into the movement of cosmic harmony in which you are immersed; little by little you will feel that your breathing melts into the breathing of God.’ Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

‘A great many scholars have given us their interpretation of The Revelation to John, but, to my mind, not one of them has ever understood what it is really and truly about. Why is this? There are several different reasons, but the main reason is that they have failed to recognize its essential message...

‘Two thousand years ago, the coming of Jesus introduced a new order of things where, for the first time in human history, the values of love, goodness, forgiveness, patience, gentleness, humility and sacrifice were put in first place. And even if Jesus’ words have not yet been either completely...
