 Holy Spirit - its coming is the most sublime experience Unfortunately, people can also lose this grace, and to lose the Holy Spirit is the most terrible loss any human being can suffer. Many spiritualists, mystics and initiates who once possessed this fire have lost it in one way or another. Some of them managed to recover it, but at the price of what suffering, labours and tears of repentance! They had to plead with the utmost humility for a long time before the fire agreed to return to them. But once the heavenly fire returns to someone, it clings to them so stubbornly and thrusts its roots so deeply into their being that it can no longer be torn from them. From that moment on, it guides, controls and orientates the person’s life. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist.

 Freedom - we must first pay our debts and wipe out our karma It is fine to want to be free, but not by just any means. Many people do everything possible to escape their obligations, run away from their duty, and sever their ties to others, thinking that they will then be free. No, that is not the way to be free. True liberation consists in paying one’s debts, not in abandoning one’s wife and children, leaving one’s job and dropping out of society... or even of life itself by committing suicide!* This would be like eating a hearty meal in a restaurant and then trying to slip out without paying the bill. It is dishonest. To behave in this way shows a lack of all sense of responsibility, and it will not be countenanced by the spirits of light who watch over us. In fact, those who try to free themselves in this way inevitably meet all kinds of new problems and constraints to teach them that they are mistaken. They have jumped from the frying pan into the fire! There can be no liberation until we have paid all our debts and wiped out our karma. We must all try to free ourselves, but only by means that are in harmony with divine law. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist.

Truth, reality
Will not break you by knowing
Sad but not broken

Thought - it can find anything in the universe thanks to the law of affinity
It is possible, by means of thought, to get all the elements we need from the universe, and to reach all the beings we wish to contact. Thanks to the law of affinity, our thoughts go directly to the elements and beings we are seeking. When you think of one particular person amongst all the billions of individuals on earth, your thought unerringly reaches him or her, as though it were programmed to home in on that person and on no other. So from now on, when you need an element or want to reach a being somewhere in the universe, think of them without worrying about where they might be. As long as your thoughts are intense, they will fly straight to their target.Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist.
