Spiritual Royalty - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Spiritual royalty - implies mastery of self The notion of royalty necessarily goes hand in hand with that of self-mastery. A monarch who only seeks to impose on others but has not learned to control themselves is not really a king or queen, but a slave. A true monarch is someone who first and foremost has become master of themselves. Only a person committed to the ideal of overcoming the domination of their selfish tendencies and to control and orientate their thoughts, feelings and desires, is on the royal road. They inspire respect from all those who come near them because they have not only power but also authority. And then, even the spirits of nature bow at their passing, whispering among themselves, ‘Look, a king or queen will be passing by, let’s go and welcome them,’ and they celebrate. The nature spirits crowd around them because their whole being emanates a fluid substance of great purity, imbued with soothing and curative influences, felt even by animals, plants and stones.
