Register Now to Join our weekly Discussions Online Unmasking our Reality Exploration 1 - Unmasking our Reality Every human being is striving for something. There is always something a person is trying to attain, in one way or another. So all human beings have one thing in common: desire. But desire and its fulfillment are two different things, and how often it happens that, even when we gain what we think we desire, lasting satisfaction nevertheless eludes us. Read More... Self Knowledge Exploration 2 - Self-Knowledge Where do I come from? Why am I here? What will happen to me after I die? As seekers, we feel certain that there must exist an objective answer to these questions. But such answers are only available to those who open themselves to the living, transforming Truth. But this living Truth is not something that was once said by a philosopher or a theologian, or found hidden in some ancient manuscript. Neither do you need to seek it far from home, for it lies within you, yourself, and has only to be reawakened and allowed to bloom. Read More... The Two Life-fields Exploration 3 - The two life fields Eventually, our yearning for liberation drives us to the limits of what is possible in earthly nature, and we find ourselves faced with an inescapable reality. We have to come to terms with the fact that our desire for the true Human state cannot be satisfied anywhere in the material world as we perceive it. But, at the same time, we are so certain that an ultimate perfection exists. We are so certain that the eternal can be attained. But what makes us so certain of that? What drives us to keep on trying, no matter what? Read More... The Human Being as a Microcosm Exploration 4 - The human being as a microcosm When people use the words ‘human being’, they often mean only their egocentric-self, the personality with its body and energetic layers and the mind with its thoughts. But in reality the human system is much more than that. In fact, the human being is a microcosm, a miniature of the entire universe. With our three-dimensional mind, we can picture the microcosm as a sevenfold sphere, comprising seven fields of existence rotating concentrically, one within the other, with the Spirit-spark as its central point. Read More... The Fundamental Reversal Exploration 5 - The fundamental reversal Within the microcosm various forces are at work, forming a field of manifestation with many aspects, the best known we call ‘human being’. This human being is guided by an egocentric consciousness bound by the limitations of time and space and its four bodies are constructed out of this three-dimensional nature, and, like everything in this three-dimensional nature is subject to the law of rising, shining and fading. So the personality being does not reincarnate after death: rather, the microcosm attracts a new vehicle in which its life can be expressed. Read More... The Task of the Personality Being Exploration 6 - The task of the human personality ‘Daily transmutation’ is the process by which our earthly, egocentric urges are overcome. This cannot be done in an experimental way. Overcoming of the egocentric consciousness is only possible if the need for it is experienced from within. In this process, the personality is indispensable and the body has an important role to play. This does not mean to say that the physical body itself is spiritualized or resurrected in a divine life field, but that its organs have a task to perform in a spiritual sense. Read More... Some practical guidelines - Freeing the Soul Exploration 7 - Some practical guidelines - Freeing the Soul All the body’s organs have functions in addition to their biological ones. When we, as personalities, recognize and accept our task, these additional functions of our bodily vehicles help us to cooperate consciously in the process of restoring the true Human Being. Every insight, every step forwards, means a change in the deep rooted way that our consciousness functions and as such influences the characteristics of certain organs of our personality. It is the task of the consciousness to actively cooperate in this fundamental process of reversal, allowing it to begin clearing the way for the renewal of the microcosm. Read More... The Real Meaning of Prayer Exploration 8 - The Real Meaning of Prayer If, because of all the experiences that have accumulated in your microcosm, you have reached the limit of what is attainable in this field of life and are beginning to experience it as a desert, you will be able to perceive with increasing clarity the calling of the Spirit Spark in the innermost of your being. Based upon this new magnetic reality that manifests itself within you we would like to discuss with you the true meaning of something so often misunderstood, that is what we call ‘prayer’. Read More... Transfiguration - The alchemical process Exploration 9 - Transfiguration - The alchemical process What does the word ‘immortality’ truly mean? At the foundation of our wonderful planet – of which we know only a very small part which has been severely impacted by our egocentric way of life – there lies a universal, alchemical formula. This formula was and is expressed by the Universal Thought in the ocean of primordial substance. In this way, through an unfathomably long process, the universal idea is realized and the original consciousness is formed in the primordial substance. This original consciousness is the figure in which the universal Spirit expresses itself. The spirit is the bearer of the light. Read More... The Cosmic Revolution Exploration 10 - The Cosmic Revolution ‘No man is an island’. Like it or not, we are all connected by the web of life. Though we often imagine ourselves to be separate and independent from one another, our thoughts and feelings, our attitudes and emotions, affect our fellow human beings in subtle ways, even though we may not be consciously aware of it. The whole personality system with all its organs can be seen as an apparatus for absorbing planetary and cosmic ethers and adapting them in such a way that they can be used to maintain the individual’s physical, mental and emotional state of being. Read More... The Universal Teachings Exploration 11 -The Universal Teachings and the eternal path To explain to others or ourselves aspects of the Universal Teachings we very often engage in profound philosophical, historical or intellectual considerations. However, although these can sometimes be extremely interesting and lead to deeper insight into how everything fits together, this type of study alone cannot give access to the spiritual essence of the Universal Teachings. For its spiritual essence is Light, radiation. That is why direct perception of the Universal Teachings is made possible only by one’s inner state. The words and symbols, however, are not the liberating power of the Universal Truth itself. Read More... The Powerfield of the Spiritual School Exploration 12 - What comes next? - The real work of a Spiritual School The path presented by the Spiritual School is not for perfect people, for superhuman beings who are exalted far above the ordinary, everyday level. And neither does it matter whether or not one has had a good education on the countless sources of the Universal Teachings. Everyone who follows the path one day has to realise that the sum of all knowledge is ‘that we know nothing’. Only then are we open to the radiations of the Universal Teachings, and only then can true wisdom be born in us. Read More... TheInwardJourneyBegins

Register Now to Join our weekly Discussions Online Une erreur fondamentale Exploration 1 - Une erreur fondamentale Chaque être humain aspire à quelque chose. Il y a toujours quelque chose qu'une personne essaie d'atteindre, d'une manière ou d'une autre. Tous les êtres humains ont donc une chose en commun : le désir. Mais le désir et son accomplissement sont deux choses différentes, et combien de fois il arrive que, même lorsque nous obtenons ce que nous pensons désirer, une satisfaction durable nous échappe néanmoins. Lire la suite... La connaissance de soi Exploration 2 - La connaissance de soi D'où je viens ? Pourquoi suis-je ici? Que va-t-il m'arriver après ma mort ? En tant que chercheurs, nous sommes certains qu'il doit exister une réponse objective à ces questions. Mais de telles réponses ne sont accessibles qu'à ceux qui s'ouvrent à la Vérité vivante et transformatrice. Mais cette Vérité vivante n'est pas quelque chose qui a été dit autrefois par un philosophe ou un théologien, ou trouvé caché dans un manuscrit ancien. Vous n'avez pas non plus besoin de le chercher loin de chez vous, car il est en vous, en vous-même, et n'a qu'à se réveiller et à s'épanouir. Lire la suite... Les deux ordres de nature (1) Exploration 3 - Les deux ordres de nature (1) Finalement, notre aspiration à la libération nous pousse aux limites de ce qui est possible dans la nature terrestre, et nous nous retrouvons face à une réalité incontournable. Nous devons accepter le fait que notre désir du véritable état humain ne peut être satisfait nulle part dans le monde matériel tel que nous le percevons. Mais, en même temps, nous sommes si certains qu'il existe une perfection ultime. Nous sommes si certains que l'éternel peut être atteint. Mais qu'est-ce qui nous rend si sûrs de cela ? Qu'est-ce qui nous pousse à continuer d'essayer, quoi qu'il arrive ? Lire la suite... Les deux ordres de nature (2) Exploration 4 - Les deux ordres de nature (2) Lorsque les gens utilisent les mots «être humain», ils ne désignent souvent que leur moi égocentrique, la personnalité avec son corps et ses couches énergétiques et l'esprit avec ses pensées. Mais en réalité, le système humain est bien plus que cela. En fait, l'être humain est un microcosme, une miniature de l'univers entier. Avec notre esprit tridimensionnel, nous pouvons imaginer le microcosme comme une sphère septuple, comprenant sept champs d'existence tournant concentriquement, l'un dans l'autre, avec l'étincelle de l'Esprit comme point central. Lire la suite... Le microcosme et la personnalité Exploration 5 - Le microcosme et la personnalité Au sein du microcosme, diverses forces sont à l'œuvre, formant un champ de manifestation aux multiples aspects, le plus connu que nous appelons « l'être humain ». Cet être humain est guidé par une conscience égocentrique liée par les limitations du temps et de l'espace et ses quatre corps sont construits à partir de cette nature tridimensionnelle et, comme tout dans cette nature tridimensionnelle, est soumis à la loi de l'élévation, de la brillance et décoloration. Ainsi, l'être de la personnalité ne se réincarne pas après la mort : le microcosme attire plutôt un nouveau véhicule dans lequel sa vie peut s'exprimer. Lire la suite... La tâche de la personnalité Exploration 6 - La tâche de la personnalité La « transmutation quotidienne » est le processus par lequel nos pulsions terrestres et égocentriques sont surmontées. Cela ne peut pas être fait de manière expérimentale. Le dépassement de la conscience égocentrique n'est possible que si le besoin en est ressenti de l'intérieur. Dans ce processus, la personnalité est indispensable et le corps a un rôle important à jouer. Cela ne veut pas dire que le corps physique lui-même est spiritualisé ou ressuscité dans un champ de vie divin, mais que ses organes ont une tâche à accomplir dans un sens spirituel. Lire la suite... Quelques lignes directrices pratiques Exploration 7 - Quelques lignes directrices pratiques Tous les organes du corps ont des fonctions en plus de leurs fonctions biologiques. Lorsque nous, en tant que personnalités, reconnaissons et acceptons notre tâche, ces fonctions supplémentaires de nos véhicules corporels nous aident à coopérer consciemment au processus de restauration du véritable Être Humain. Chaque prise de conscience, chaque pas en avant, signifie un changement dans la manière profondément enracinée dont notre conscience fonctionne et, en tant que telle, influence les caractéristiques de certains organes de notre personnalité. C'est la tâche de la conscience de coopérer activement à ce processus fondamental d'inversion, lui permettant de commencer à ouvrir la voie au renouvellement du microcosme. Lire la suite... La Prière Transfiguration (1) Exploration 8 - La Prière Transfiguration (1) Si, à cause de toutes les expériences qui se sont accumulées dans votre microcosme, vous avez atteint la limite de ce qui est atteignable dans ce domaine de la vie et commencez à le vivre comme un désert, vous pourrez percevoir avec une clarté croissante l'appel de l'étincelle spirituelle au plus profond de votre être. Sur la base de cette nouvelle réalité magnétique qui se manifeste en vous, nous aimerions discuter avec vous du vrai sens de quelque chose de si souvent mal compris, c'est ce que nous appelons la "prière". Lire la suite... Le processus alchimique Exploration 9 - Le processus alchimique Que signifie vraiment le mot « immortalité » ? A la base de notre merveilleuse planète – dont nous ne connaissons qu'une toute petite partie qui a été durement impactée par notre mode de vie égocentrique – se trouve une formule alchimique universelle. Cette formule était et est exprimée par la Pensée Universelle dans l'océan de la substance primordiale. De cette façon, à travers un processus d'une longueur insondable, l'idée universelle se réalise et la conscience originelle se forme dans la substance primordiale. Cette conscience originelle est la figure dans laquelle s'exprime l'Esprit universel. L'esprit est le porteur de la lumière. Lire la suite... Les pouvoirs de l’illusion Exploration 10 - Les pouvoirs de l’illusion 'Aucun homme n'est une île'. Qu'on le veuille ou non, nous sommes tous connectés par la toile de la vie. Bien que nous nous imaginions souvent séparés et indépendants les uns des autres, nos pensées et nos sentiments, nos attitudes et nos émotions affectent nos semblables de manière subtile, même si nous n'en sommes pas conscients. L'ensemble du système de la personnalité avec tous ses organes peut être considéré comme un appareil pour absorber les éthers planétaires et cosmiques et les adapter de telle manière qu'ils puissent être utilisés pour maintenir l'état physique, mental et émotionnel de l'individu. Lire la suite... Les Enseignements universels Exploration 11 - Les Enseignements universels Pour expliquer aux autres ou à nous-mêmes des aspects des Enseignements Universels, nous nous engageons très souvent dans de profondes considérations philosophiques, historiques ou intellectuelles. Cependant, bien que celles-ci puissent parfois être extrêmement intéressantes et conduire à une compréhension plus profonde de la façon dont tout s'emboîte, ce type d'étude ne peut à lui seul donner accès à l'essence spirituelle des Enseignements Universels. Car son essence spirituelle est Lumière, rayonnement. C'est pourquoi la perception directe des Enseignements Universels n'est rendue possible que par notre état intérieur. Les mots et les symboles, cependant, ne sont pas le pouvoir libérateur de la Vérité Universelle elle-même. Lire la suite... Le Champ de force de l'École Spirituelle Exploration 12 - Le Champ de force de l'École Spirituelle Le chemin présenté par l'école spirituelle n'est pas pour des personnes parfaites, pour des êtres surhumains qui sont exaltés bien au-dessus du niveau ordinaire et quotidien. Et peu importe que l'on ait reçu ou non une bonne éducation sur les innombrables sources des Enseignements Universels. Tous ceux qui suivent le chemin un jour doivent réaliser que la somme de toutes les connaissances est « que nous ne savons rien ». C'est alors seulement que nous sommes ouverts aux radiations des Enseignements Universels, et alors seulement la vraie sagesse peut naître en nous. Lire la suite... TheInwardJourneyBegins
