We have to struggle against the weight and obscurity of our own being every day. Yes, each and every day. You might say, ‘How long will this last?' As long as human beings reincarnate on earth, they must take on a physical body, and a physical body ...
...masters are so necessary: thanks to their pure lives, to their emanations, to their feelings and thoughts of love and wisdom, these beings succeed in stirring something within us. And if they do not always manage to do so, it is not because the...
Human history is a succession of changes. Nothing remains static, for life is in perpetual movement. We would like to believe that this movement always represents progress and moves in the direction of evolution. But, unfortunately, we cannot help ...

...people disturb you so much, all the more reason for bettering yourself and sending them good thoughts....
What sort of ideal do people have? To have a family, a career, a car and a house with every convenience. That is enough for them; they are satisfied with this mediocre life. From time to time, of course, they read a few books, listen to records, go ...
It isn't hard to see how human evolution corresponds to the evolution of the earth! Yes, most men and women are like earths being formed: they have not yet succeeded in making their inner ground really stable – it is always bubbling up, being shaken ...
The process by which human beings descended from the heavenly regions is what we call involution. As they came down into matter, distancing themselves from the primordial fire, they took increasingly dense bodies, ending with the physical body. It's ...
We are on earth, and earth is not the garden of delights we call Paradise; we are treated harshly here. We must get down to work; otherwise, we will continue to ask ourselves unanswerable questions. In humanity's present state, no one can avoid ...

The widest disparity exists between human beings, and yet all of them, no matter how vulgar and materialistic, have been created in the same workshops as the greatest geniuses and the greatest initiates, The only difference is that the time has not ...
In what way do stones, plants, animals and humans differ in their degree of evolution? The essential difference between them is their degree of sensitivity. Evolution is directly proportional to sensitivity, or in other words, to the faculty of ...
Every day we must deal with the question of container and content, or, expressed differently, form and force, in order to create a synthesis of the two. What does it mean to create a synthesis of form and force? It means we must protect the form ...
