"Those who want to be master of their destiny must not attach so much importance to what comes to them from the outside: difficulties or opportunities, gains or losses."

June 19, 2024 - "Learn to be lucid about what goes on inside you.

You must seek not only to identify your desires, feelings and thoughts, but also to recognize whether they stem from your higher or your lower nature.

... Everything we experience in our consciousness is a reflection of either the higher world or the lower world.

That which we call consciousness can in fact be an expression of unconsciousness, the subconscious or the super-conscious...

Dark manifestations are the expression of the subconscious, whereas luminous manifestations are an expression of the super-conscious.

Our consciousness is a neutral zone in which both good and evil can manifest, and our first duty is to learn to distinguish between the two." - Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov[41]

And:

“‘Know yourself’. Very few people have ever understood the true meaning of this formula that was once inscribed over the entrance to the temple of Delphi. Who or what is this ‘self’ that we must know?

‘Why, that’s easy’, you will say. ‘We have to know our own character, our own strengths and weaknesses.’ But that is not what this maxim is about.

True, a knowledge of our own strengths and weaknesses is necessary but it is not enough. To know ourselves is to know the different bodies of which we are constituted (the physical, etheric, astral, mental, causal, buddhic and atmic)(i) and the needs of each of these bodies. But human beings know nothing about all this. They all realize that they have certain virtues and vices. They say, ‘I know myself only too well!’ But they are deluding themselves: they know nothing of the being that lives deep within them.

They know nothing of its desires, needs or aspirations or what makes it suffer. They don’t know who their ‘self’ is; they think it is their physical body and spend their time giving that body food, clothes, jewelry, comfort and pleasures without realizing that their true self is asking for something quite different. The satisfaction of their purely physical, material needs has never made human beings any happier or more contented.

It is only when they begin to know themselves as they are on a higher plane that they become capable of living in true splendor. If the initiates of old laid so much emphasis on the necessity for humans to know themselves, it was because this knowledge is the key that opens up great possibilities for making progress.

‘Know Thyself ’ and achieving success. As long as we are ignorant of the needs of our higher self we continue to give everything to our physical body, which becomes glutted and overfed, whereas our soul and spirit suffocate and die of hunger and thirst. But how can you expect people who don’t even believe in the existence of their other, subtler bodies to do anything about nourishing or strengthening them?

It is amazing to see the situation so many people are in, even those who are highly cultivated: they take great pride in their university degrees and all their culture and erudition, and yet they are constantly in a state of inner torment and anxiety. Isn’t this proof enough that something has gone very wrong with their lives? When someone is as ignorant as that they would do better not to be so pleased with themselves.

‘Know yourself!’ All science and all wisdom lie in knowing ourselves, in finding ourselves, in the fusion of our lower self with our higher self. The symbol of the initiate who has succeeded in this is the serpent with its tail in its mouth. In the ordinary way a serpent forms a straight or wavy line, and a line is finite, limited. But the serpent with its tail in its mouth forms a circle, and a circle represents the infinite, the limitless, the eternal.(ii) Those who succeed in becoming a circle enter a world without limitations where ‘above’ and ‘below’ are no longer separate, because all the powers and all the riches and virtues of the true, higher self have been infused into the lower self.

The higher and the lower become one and the person becomes a divinity.” - Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov[42] -

June 15, 2024 - The question of attitude -

"Among the thousands of things human beings need to understand, there is one in particular that they have neglected, and that is the question of attitude; the attitude they should have towards nature, towards other human beings, and towards the Creator. Yes, especially towards the Creator. Instead of turning to him, as the needle of a compass turns to the North Star, people turn their backs on Him. This is why they encounter so many difficulties and trials. This question of attitude is essential, for it determines the whole of our inner and outer life. We should try every day to adopt the right attitude towards this pole star that we call God, so that we may receive all blessings from Him. And once we have the right attitude towards God, we shall also find the right attitude towards all other creatures, other human beings, the whole of nature." - Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov[40]

It is an obstacle between us and the spiritual world, which was not meant to paralyze or bury us under mounds of rubble, but to oblige us to carry out special work on it.
For those who moan, ‘I feel so limited and shackled. How did I ever get into this mess? And how can I get out of it?’ there is only one answer: work with love, wisdom and willpower. Get back on the upward path. Do not wait to be completely incapacitated. ..."[39]

June 11, 2024 - "It is the level of consciousness that determines destiny" -

"Moles live underground, far from the light, and to move around they have to dig long tunnels in the ground, which are sometimes destroyed by a farmer’s plough. This dark and limited life probably suits them because they are moles; they can imagine no other.* The life of a fish is freer than that of a mole; the environment in which fish live and move is lighter and more spacious. But the life of birds is freer still: the wide open spaces are theirs; they are free to sing and rejoice in the sunlight. Moles (earth), fish (water) and birds (air) are symbols that correspond to different levels of consciousness, and it is the level of consciousness that determines destiny." -
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov[38]

Comment: The blog writer received the above in his subscription to the: "Thought of the Day" message on May 28, 2024 and immediately thought of Richard Rudd, author, extraordinary teacher, poet (and more than can possibly be elaborated upon here) in light of having started his course in the "Dream Arc" of animal archetypes. Richard replied saying: "Thanks Chef, nice quote...."

Re: "Consciousness" - the above quote appears to indicate that we may have a choice as to which of the "different levels of consciousness" we can possibly attune to at any given moment. This writer accepts the choice and is devoted to choosing the highest level that he possibly can at any given moment. The highest being that of the all divine, whole, unity and oneness within the truth of Self!

Comment: This Blog-writer is truly amazed to have received the above "Thought" today after having had a dream earlier that woke him a couple hours before he intended with a resounding voice of "exhaustion" still echoing in his mind! Fortunately he immediately began "treating" that input. Now this quote (above) gives him an additional "thought correction" that he instantly aligns with now! ; ~ )

November 18, 2023 - Contemplating a starry sky -

"Astronomers observe the night sky, but most of them confine themselves to its material reality. Unaware that there are intelligent beings inhabiting and working on these celestial bodies, they reduce everything to mechanical laws, so their soul and spirit gain little from their studies. They are like mountaineers whose only goal in scaling a summit is athletic achievement or the study of rocks or atmospheric variations. They forget to look at the mountain and commune with its beauty, its purity
and its power.

Contemplating a starry sky, like climbing a mountain, should give human beings the solution to all their problems, because it opens the doors to the heavens within them. …”[30]

Comment: Many of us may recognize that the dynamics involved in the above quote is rooted in early conditioning. For this writer the way through is primarily supported by "Truth of Self." He has found that "Truth of Self" is greatly supported by living his Human Design and by continuing to contemplate his "Prime Gifts" as presented in Gene Keys.

May 20, 2023 - Put These Truths Into Practice! -

"In everyday life, it is perfectly reasonable and right for everybody to express and defend their own point of view. As long as people have no knowledge of the eternal truths of Initiatic Science, they need to exercise their wits, to argue and discuss, to fight and be at each other’s throats. All that is normal. It is even possible that in crossing swords and striking sparks, they may end up coming closer to the truth.

Yes, but once you are ... learning about the great laws of the cosmos, why do you still argue and criticize and try to impose your personal views on others? .........

In society, diverging opinions and debate are fine; we need many thinkers, scientists and teachers to analyze, theorize and discuss ideas, but now (and if) that you have found the truth of Initiatic Science, you no longer need to waste your time in discussion. You only need to put these truths into practice."[23]

April 17th, 2023 - Consciousness -

Only when a sensitivity to the notions of collectivity and universality has awakened in a person do they truly attain consciousness. This faculty enables them to see into the hearts and souls of other human beings, so that when they cause others to suffer, they feel this suffering in themselves. They understand that whatever they do to others they are doing to themselves. Of course, each human being seems to be alone and apart from all the others, but in reality, there is a spiritual part of ourselves that belongs to the collectivity, that lives in all other creatures and in the cosmos as a whole. When your spiritual dimension is awakened, your being extends throughout the universe and becomes collective. This means that if you strike someone, it is you yourself who receives the blow through them. - Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov[14]

Comment: This perspective fills in a gap within the Jovianism of The Human Design System, a gap that Zeno (this blog-writer's initial Human Design teacher) attempted to fill.

"Most people only have to hear the words 'renunciation' or 'sacrifice' to be seized with terror."[10]

Comment: Just a few hours earlier this Blog-writer had written a note regarding projected negativity that people allow into their perception. The note gave an exercise as an example of this:
Imagine that you are in a circle with a small group of people and an individual goes around to each one in the circle offering them a package of "benefits" however when they get to you they say: "there's nothing for you." What do you think upon hearing that? .........

Whenever this writer becomes aware of such imaginations in his own mind (that he may periodically encounter) he responds by saying: "I do not have what I do not need - I am grateful! I do not want what I do not need. I am all the more grateful!" In essence he renounces the thought and by doing so he sets himself free of the negative idea!

January 7, 2023 - Scientific progress should indicate new psychic and spiritual directions -

"Physicists have made discoveries about the waves and energy currents that circulate throughout space, as well as about light and its power. The practical application of these discoveries has been extraordinary, of course: the telephone, radio, television, the laser… and so many more besides! But what benefits have human beings themselves derived from these for their own evolution? They should have understood that they themselves emit and receive waves and currents, that their thoughts possess the same powers as light. It is dangerous when the only applications for scientific progress are practical ones that make life easier. Scientific progress should indicate new psychic and spiritual directions. Only then is it true progress." - Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov[9]

Consider applying this concept to the conditioning impact of MSM (main stream media), as well as the declarations of "science" that have been "funded" for commercial purposes and those of "government" that intend to tax a privilege or the like, etc. etc. and you will get additional insight as to what makes the "world" go round! ; ~ )

The Prosveta-usa community offers "Thought for the day" meditations that are all quotes of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov who said: "Through my Teaching, I wish to give you essential notions about human beings: how they are structured, their relationship to nature, and the exchanges they must make with the universe if they are to drink at the springs of divine life… ". I've been enjoying these "Thoughts" every day over the past couple years.

I find the Thought for today quite exceptional! It begins with: "Those who want to be master of their destiny must not attach so much importance to what comes to them from the outside: difficulties or opportunities, gains or losses. ..."[1] This matches my own inner knowingness through which I immediately recognize the truth of this teaching! However I did not have the thought articulated in words as well as it is presented by Omraam. One of the great gifts of receiving these "Thoughts" is the way that Omraam presents them.

***
May 30, 2017 -

Here's another example of the highly refined presentation style of Omraam:

"... it is not advisable for our mental balance to carry in our head and in our heart someone who, having taken a wrong turn, is becoming a public danger."[2]

June 26, 2017 -

"In whatever state you find yourself, even the most dire, be courageous, because a great inheritance, a divine legacy awaits you. If until now you have not yet taken possession of it, it is because you are still a minor."[3]

Once again I find the timing of the "Thought" to be most serendipitous. I had earlier viewed a couple videos of an interview with a Dutch "business man"[5] (also referred to as an "economic hit man" who in his closing statements said the elite's strategy is "divide and conquer". Therefore we need to come together and unite ourselves. Until we do I understand how you can find yourself in the most "dire" of "states". Until we come together and unite we are like sheep (or if you prefer "minors"). In any case we have yet to reach full maturity to where we exercise full dominion over "all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”[4]

"... Why do you think women live longer than men? Because men always need to impose themselves. Whereas women are more used to putting up with things and often, even unconsciously, they become stronger thanks to their passive attitude."[6]
-

My mother has out-lived my father. Up until the reading of the above message of Omraam I had a mistaken belief that my mother was too passive in regards to the severity of my father's parenting style and its impact on me during the entirety of my childhood and young adult years hail till living at home. Now I accept that apparent benefit of her "passive attitude" (LOL) that my mother has with living now. Actually now that I think of it I too had some extent of a passive attitude and maybe that has contributed to my general state of health that I enjoy now whereas my father was suffering a number of health conditions at my age.
