The war I speak of is the economic war that is geared to enslave mankind to the One World Order under a military rulership that is ultimately overseen by The Luciferian Satanic Overmastermind. Most are not aware of the full implications of the direction this has been taking us but all must wake up to this evil movement and if we do not act we are doomed by our own apathy and lethargy brought about by our comfort zones not being unmanageable yet. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=1204476683 "Spirituality does not consist in neglecting the physical body but in doing everything necessary to rid it of all the accumulated impurities that prevent it from manifesting the spirit. What is the teaching of the Universal White Brotherhood? It is one that gives you the methods to do exactly that: to regenerate the physical body. In this way, all the most natural actions ofeveryday life, those that are indispensable to life  itself, suchas breathing, eating, drinking, washing, walking and sleeping, can become opportunities to do this work of regeneration. It's an entire science, unknown to most of those who call themselves spiritualists, which is why they experience so many complications and anomalies and can be so unbalanced. And not just them, for materialists also do not realize that the physical body, which they take such care of, was given to them to be made an instrument of the spirit. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=1195442545 "Initiatic Science is not to be confused with the occult sciences,  in which the light of spiritual knowledge is used mainly for dark ends. Out of their desire to use this knowledge to obtain money, women and powers, many who have steeped themselves in the occult sciences have come to a very bad end. Books on the occult abound, and they make many promises: thanks to this perfume, that talisman or a certain magic stone, you will obtain all you desire. And people dabble in it, hoping to find quick and easy ways of satisfying their desires. This is why black magic is so widespread throughout the world, whereas white magic, theurgy, has few candidates. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=1195442250 "Celestial entities love the light, and, when they catch sight of someone who is surrounded by this light which initiatic Science calls the aura, they rush to him. If I ask you: 'Do you really long for love, peace, health and beauty?' you will all reply: 'Oh, yes! We want nothing but this!' But what are you doing to obtain them? These blessings cannot come to you simply by chance. The best way to attract them is to work on your aura: vivify it by your love, illuminate it by your wisdom, make it powerful by your strength of character, and make it clear and transparent by your purity. Those who patiently and sincerely devote themselves to the practice of the virtues gradually acquire an immense aura. Notonly do celestial creatures come to bathe in it but also human beings, who feel nourished, calmed, strengthened and transported in a divine direction. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=599a1ad674f383baa0e74b38ce9de643 Matter is neither inert nor insensitive; not only is it sensitive, it is also endowed with memory. All events that take place in the universe leave traces in the etheric layers of matter. Everything that happens is recorded, and nothingdisappears, but humans have not yet developed the means to read or hear these recordings.

In a spiritual brotherhood you have every opportunity to progress by putting your likes and dislikes aside. Most people are forever looking for what suits them, for what they like. No, they must only seek what is good for their spiritual growth. Of course, if you are not looking to advance inwardly, you will be incapable of participating in a spiritual community. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=f0ea27cb484d52e28bdaac92f32df86a "We refer to the divine Principle within us as our higher Self, and this is our true Self. This true Self is always higher than we are, and we can only find it by constantly projecting ourselves toward the heights. This is why the image of the sun, a symbol of the spirit, can act so beneficially on our inner life. The sun teaches us to use the powers of the spirit to carry out a work of regeneration in ourselves.

From here we can see the entire edifice and discover the laws that presided at creation.  In a certain sense, this is what astronauts experience when they travel in space: their perspective on the earth and the universe is completely changed.

But often we need only see them in action to realize that the opposite is true. It is people's behaviour that reveals whether or not they are in the right, not the theories and wild imaginings they present to others.

A clairvoyant can see black, sticky forms emerging from countless creatures and accumulating in the layers of the atmosphere. And, even if we cannot see any of this, now and then we cannot help but feel something thick, heavy and dark shrouding these cities.

When there is a traffic jam, how do motorists react? This one becomes annoyed, honks his horn and swears at his neighbours; that one glances at his newspaper or listens to the radio; another chats with his passenger or kisses her if she is his beloved. Finally, another decides he is going to take advantage of this momentary pause to go within himself, to make contact with heaven and send his love and his light to all beings on earth. This case is much rarer, of course, but it is the kind of adjustment you must make if you are to become master of every situation.

A man must try to discover in the woman he loves the eternal feminine principle, the divine Mother. And because the divine Mother is so rich in colour, fragrance, form and movement, he will never exhaust these riches in his heart and soul. Conversely, a woman must learn to see the eternal masculine principle, the heavenly Father, in the man she loves, and in doing so she will commune with his wisdom, power and grandeur. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=285e15963380fc0c7d5f9a4a497f87b8 "We eat every day, but don't be shocked if I tell you that we are eaten as well. Yes, we too serve as food for other entities, for the angels. They partake of our good thoughts and sentiments, of everything in us that is inspired by wisdom and love.

You must never complain at such times, however, because by doing so you close your inner doors to any improvement in your state.When someone offends you or treats you unfairly, it is normal to feel disappointed, sad and hurt. But if you talk about it everywhere you go, bewailing your plight, you do nothing but aggravate your wound. So what should you do? Put the whole thing aside, and, when you meet your neighbours and friends, instead of going into all the details about how cruelly you have been treated, forget about it for the time being. Most likely they are suffering over something themselves, so ask yourself how you can help and encourage them. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=f0ea27cb484d52e28bdaac92f32df86a "Through his higher Self, every human being is a divinity who lives in a sublime region where there is no sickness, suffering, limitation or darkness. But humans cannot yet feel or manifest this life of plenitude that exists on high, because their lower nature will not allow it. It is obtuse, narrow-minded, maladjusted and poorly tuned, exactly like a radio that is unable to receive certain frequencies. Waves propagated in the sublime regions by cosmic Intelligence are very short and very fast. Because our own matter is so thick and opaque, it cannot vibrate in harmony with these divine messages, and they slip by us without leaving a trace. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=e6f4c2f705930222e72ec0ec84a9bb40 "You plant roses, you offer roses, you receive roses. But do you know that a rose, or even just one of its petals, can connect you to the world of Venus, which belongs to the sephirah Netzach on the Tree of Life? Each rose petal is impregnated with the quintessence of Venus, and through it you can enter into communication with an entire world of light and beauty. By gazing at it and loving it, you communicate your magnetism to it, and in return it communicates something to you. It creates a bond between you and the inhabitants of Venus, who are more evolved than the beings on earth. If you feel the need for love, tenderness, colour or fragrance, you can attract them with one single petal. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=3ffb9c648ad0d24ab2776df7398a9e1f "When you feel uncertain, disoriented or lost, concentrate on the image of a summit, on the highest point, from which you can see people and things as they really are. Of course, the distance separating you and this summit seems immense, even insurmountable, and only those who live a truly pure and holy life can reach it. But by means of thought, each of you can seek to attain the summit, for thought is like a rope which you fling high above you to the point you want to reach, and once your rope is secured you can climb. This is what mountaineers do: they throw a rope, and they climb.

And, whether on the physical or psychic plane, we then throw off waste, which the sun transforms, purifies and sends back to us in the form of energy and new particles. This endless circulation between earth and sun also exists in a different form between ordinary human beings and the initiates. On the psychic plane, initiates collect the crude materials produced by humans, transmute them and send them back in the form of spiritual treasures. Take this idea seriously, and understand that if you truly want to evolve you must not complain about the weaknesses you see in others but must strive instead to transform them within yourself and send them back in the form of light. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=66ad9b716bf0d17815dcdc1ca972294c It is interesting to study the chemical formula for water (H20) from a symbolic point of view.

And in some parts of the world people have to watch over their children, livestock and fowl, or take certain precautions, so that these beasts do not come and devour them. In the same way, unless you are vigilant and know how to take precautions, your children and domesticated animals, symbolically speaking, will be devoured by wild beasts. What do these children and domesticated animals represent? They are your good thoughts, your good feelings, your ardour: everything that is synonymous with spiritual riches.

There are so many possibilities available to you, but you don't see them and don't want to see them. You cling to the notion of happiness you yourself have created.

He is a house of several storeys occupied by tenants. And this house is often in a state of siege, because the tenants have taken control of it. They have put the master of the house in a dungeon where they give him only a small piece of bread and a little water to keep him from starving to death. The poor man!

You will say it is a gesture of gratitude toward the Creator for allowing us to satisfy our hunger. Yes, of course, but this custom also derives from knowledge held by the initiates about the reality of the invisible world. They know that on the astral plane there are innumerable creatures who are also hungry and thirsty and who attempt to infiltrate human beings and feed on them. Nutrition in human beings is a function that is still very similar to an animal instinct, and, if we are not vigilant while eating, we usher in entities from the astral world with an affinity for these instinctive tendencies. By addressing a prayer to the Lord before the meal, we ask him to come and eat with us, and, once we have opened the door to him, it is closed to the undesirables of the astral plane. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/spiritual/inspirational_general/omraam/news.php?q=b954a7bf6313bf039de9f6afbcb3e77c "Why is it that, while desiring peace, freedom and happiness for themselves and others, people often pass these states by and deprive others of them as well? It is because they still haven't understood that they will only find these precious goods when they decide to give priority to the spiritual life over all material gain, social success and so on. Many will say: 'But we understand that material possessions and fame cannot satisfy our deep aspirations.' Then why do they behave as if they don't? We see them endlessly preoccupied with their material conditions. Even if they succeed, not only do they never feel truly free, happy and at peace but they endlessly upset the lives of others. When they wake up in the morning, couldn't they decide now and then to try, at least for that day, to put their spiritual values first?

But even though all humans have roots, a trunk and brnaches, how many are visited by the springtime? Most of them are devoid of fruit and flowers, and sometimes leaves as well. They are winter trees, sad, dark and unadorned.Each of you has the capacity to blossom, but you must work hard, gain great knowledge and sacrifice a great deal of time if your flowers are to open, exhale their fragrances and form fruits. And what are these fruits? They are the manifestations of our virtues.
