Spiritual and material lives.

Let your material life be consistent with your spiritual life

Nobody asks you to imitate certain mystics and ascetics, who fled from the temptations and difficulties of the world, and to neglect your material life while dedicating yourself exclusively to prayer and meditation. On the other hand, more and more people today are totally absorbed by material concerns, and that is not the right solution, either. Everyone should be in a position to work, earn a living and have their own family, and at the same time, possess the inner light and the methods they need to work at their own evolution. You have to develop both the spiritual and the material aspects of your lives, to be in the world while, at the same time, living a heavenly life. This is the goal you should aim for. It is difficult, to be sure, because you are still at the stage where, when you engage in spiritual activities, you let your material affairs go to pieces and, when you take care of your material affairs, you neglect your spiritual life. But you must have both. Both are necessary and both are possible. How? Well, before undertaking anything, always say to yourself, ‘My goal is to obtain true light, love and power: shall I get them by doing thus and so?’ Examine the situation carefully and, if you see that such or such an activity or interest deflects you from your ideal, abandon it.

Strength lies within.

‎” Strength lies within the mind. You must therefore look deeper and deeper within yourselves, meditate to reach the divine principle within you. One day, a spring will begin to flow and you will feel nourished, supported, flooded with inexhaustible forces.”

Spirits (nature) – inviting them to participate in the salvation of humanity.

“When you go out into nature, try to be aware of the presence of all the spirits that live there and that were there long before human beings appeared on earth. Speak to them, marvel at the work they achieve in lakes, rivers, forests, mountains, clouds, and so on. And also ask them to assist all human beings who are working for love, light and peace to reign at last on earth.
Humans believe that, through political, economic and social action, they are the only ones able to play a part in how the world is run. No, in this living, conscious body – nature – to which we belong, there are a multitude of entities ready to contribute to the evolution of humanity. The four elements – earth, water, air and fire – have sworn before the Eternal to help those who are working to become creatures of peace, harmony and beauty. So wherever you go, remember to speak to all the spirits living in nature, even as far as the sun and the stars, and ask them to come and participate in the dawning of a new era.”

Spiritual life – it’s purpose is to give birth to the divine principle in our soul

“The purpose of the spiritual life is to give birth to the divine principle in our soul. But to give birth to this child, everyone must be both man and woman, father and mother. As a father, they trigger the process of conception, and as a mother, that of formation: it forms their child and nourishes it. Genuine spiritualists are therefore beings who are complete: the masculine principle and the feminine principle live in perfect harmony in them, and this harmony makes them creators.
From the spiritual point of view, whether they be men or women, married or not, all human beings who are unable to achieve this harmonious union of the masculine principle and the feminine principle in them are considered as single. Unlike what happens on the physical plane, those who are spiritually single cannot bear children. Every manifestation in life is a form of birth. On the spiritual plane, a child can only be born from the union of the soul (the higher heart) and the spirit (the higher intellect).”
