We have come down to earth, and this means that there is work to be done here. The mission of the spirit is to descend, to put on a physical body in order to work on earth and transform it into a magnificent garden for the Lord to stroll in. If we were supposed to [...]
Of course, you will tell me that today human beings understand the importance of the physical body. Yes, but not in the right way: they take care to give it plenty of food, comfort and sexual pleasure, they do all they can to make it attractive and seductive, but they do little to make it [...]
The capacities of the spirit are infinite but you have to give it the conditions it needs in order to manifest itself. Some people, artists and thinkers especially, reach extraordinary heights of inspiration and enthusiasm that bring them into contact with sublime realities, and then, when they revert to their normal state, they understand practically [...]

The main emphasis in conventional studies is on disciplines designed to help human beings to attain material success but which prevent them from becoming spirits and children of God. The result [...]
Human beings eat and drink so much, wear so many clothes and use so many objects that, all unknown to them, are impregnated with malignant, evil vibrations. These things can hinder them in their evolution. This is an extremely important truth that I have revealed to you today; a truth that all Initiatic schools have [...]
You must not live in a house before blessing it and dedicating it, for instance, to one of the seventy-two Spirits of Nature. It is possible to learn the names, attributes and virtues of these Spirits and to invoke their assistance for all kinds of good work. They are always close by and they ask [...]
‘Everything in nature is animate, everything is alive. It is extremely important that you understand and learn to use this great truth.
