LEAVING SELFISHNESS BEHIND

Opening oneself to the Golden Age state of mind means developing within oneself “the powerful force of love” that human beings forgot or distorted in the Iron Age. The Aumist Teaching gives those who wish to evolve the means to pass through different levels of love and to move at their own pace towards a love freed from all limitation.
At the first level, men and women who are the unhappy prisoners of selfishness, “love for oneself”, may find themselves with a dry heart. Unfortunately, some become insensitive to the trials of others, a prey to resentment or even hatred.
For those who become aware of these states of mind and suffer from them, Aumism places love of one’s neighbour back at the centre of everything, of every relationship. Witness the “Prescription for opening oneself to love” in Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 153, of which here is an extract.
Accompanied by a visualisation of Light and followed by an accelerated repetition of the Sound OM, these three wishes help those who so desire to overcome dryness of heart little by little:

“I love my parents as myself and wish them all the happiness in the world.

I love my enemies as myself and wish them all the happiness in the world.

I love all the men and women of the Earth as myself

and wish each one all the happiness in the world.”
