Theme of the 9th Symposium 2014: BUILDING THE NEW ERA TOGETHER
PRESENTATION OF THE 2014 SYMPOSIUM
BUILDING THE NEW ERA TOGETHER
A New Era that marks the end of divisions, of violence of every kind and of threats of self-destruction, one that allows a fresh start and access to the happiness of living in peace with one’s fellow beings and one’s environment: everyone sees the need for it and longs for it with all their heart…
But it is not a matter of waiting for it passively! The New Era, called the Golden Age in Aumism, does not come ready-made. To become reality, it requires everyone’s participation; it must be built with will and perseverance. It is a matter of establishing a new state of mind founded on solidarity, justice and unity in respect for differences. On both the individual and collective scale, it implies the choice to take the future of the planet and of humanity into our own hands.
According to the Aumist religion, to consider that God is the same for all, incarnating under different Faces, is the foundation of the religious reconciliation necessary for planetary peace. To consider that the Divine is present in every being orients thoughts and behaviour towards inner and social harmony. To action is added the saving effect of prayer, in particular the prayer of the OM.
But believers and non-believers alike, we all benefit from the Love and Knowledge bestowed by His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH, and from the practical suggestions and spiritual techniques of his Teaching, in order to build the New Era together.
“This Love, of which God is the source,” he says, “is granted to all, poured out upon all.”
(Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité)
“You have the right to deny the existence of God, but you have the duty to transform yourselves in order to improve the fate of the world, for God will recognise His own in those who love, forgive and serve selflessly.”
(L’Unité des Visages de Dieu)
