Complete works, a new earth, vol. 13 - E-book - ePub

A great many people today feel the need for some practical methods that will help them to grow spiritually. A New Earth responds to that need. It contains a number of simple, effective, spiritual exercises taken from the thousands of lectures given by the Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov over a period of nearly fifty years. Some concern our everyday life: nutrition, breathing, hygiene, purification, and our relationships with nature and other human beings.
Others touch on questions that are more directly spiritual: meditation and prayer, the development of our psychic centres, or chakras, the aura, the body of glory, and so on. All these methods grow out of that immense body of knowledge known as initiatic science, the principal goal of which is the advent of the 'new heaven and the new earth' announced in scripture. 'In the language of initiates, the language of eternal symbols, a "new heaven" means new ideas, a new perception and understanding, a new philosophy; and a "new earth" means a new behaviour, a new way of doing things; in other words, a new way of thinking and a new way of living.
Our heads are in heaven and our feet are on earth. Our feet follow the lead of the head into terrain that it has already explored. The "new earth" is man's new behaviour. The things man does and the way he does them are going to have to change in order to conform with his new philosophy. All these new methods you are learning constitute the "new earth".' Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
