FILLING YOUR LIFE WELL

 

The current shocks incite us, whatever our religion, our path, to unite in prayer, in the diffusion of loving thoughts to help those who suffer on Earth and to support the souls of the deceased.

As we have seen, [1] the afterlife is represented in Aumism by a Column of Light where souls learn to practice Golden Age qualities before they can benefit from a new incarnation. [2] This post-mortem learning reflects on the future of humanity: little by little, newcomers to our planet will know how to respect differences and work for peace.

.

But this prospect goes hand in hand with the need to use our present lives well.

“Life is a privilege (…), so rare are the opportunities of incarnation”, says the Lord HAMSAH MANARAH in The Revolution of the World of the Living and the Dead p271. It is “as precious as a diamond”: let us not waste it.

« We have a duty to transform ourselves and help humanity change before the final abandonment of our vehicles of flesh. (…) [3]  (Le Yoga de l’Amour dans la Force, p. 256)

To fill one’s life well is therefore to assume this duty that leads to serenity: to fill each moment with benevolence, to increase both self-acceptance and openness to others, solidarity with all beings in thought, word and action. [4]

NATURE CAN’T BE SOLD

Our active help, our loving thoughts, our prayers[1] go unceasingly to our fellow human beings, victims of wars and violence. [2]

We must also think about the environment, whose mistreatment is constantly turning against our planet. We must not forget to be, on a daily basis, “ecologists at heart, convinced that the survival of the Earth depends on the good will of each one of us”.. [3] To stop subjecting natural resources to predatory selfishness. [4] Change perspective, contribute to the necessary reconciliation with nature :

 « Man’s relationship to profit and money will have to evolve over time; profit and money should no longer be the main motivations for progress.

If for money, man destabilizes the whole nature, the future of the Earth will be mortgaged on paper money, coins, gold bars that man, anyway, can not take to his grave. “

Man must find his place in nature without destroying his living environment.

When the balance will be found, reconciliation will go hand in hand with the disappearance of fear, hatred and tension. »

CRUCIAL QUESTION

  This decade forces us to see the dramatic consequences of the desire for revenge which, throughout history and even today, nourishes hatred and fratricidal wars. No one is insensitive to the suffering caused by violence. Everyone wants to get out of fear and the feeling of powerlessness. The following text, Towards a Golden Age of Unity p.177, reminds us of the importance of our choice of life; that of the mental attitude necessary for the effectiveness of any sincere action for peace. . « “Two world wars have taken place pitting people against people, nations against nations. If a third war were to take place, do you think the Earth would survive it? The mirror of the future cannot bring about this third international catastrophe, otherwise the Earth will once again capsize in its self-destruction complex. Some will then ask: “What is the solution to get humanity out of the rut of hatred and strife?” To this crucial question, there are 5 axes of answer:  : 

1 – The way of the great Forgiveness. [1]

2 – The great Reconciliation of man with nature. [2]

3 – Detachment from the past. [3]

4 – The cancellation of the thoughts of hate by the emission of thoughts of love. [4]

5 – The ideal of Unity. » [5]

COLLECTIVE INTEREST

During the 13th International Colloquium of Aumisme which took place on March 26 and 27, 2022 on the theme “Reinventing solidarity” [1], the interdependence linking individuals, peoples and nations to each other and to Nature was evoked.

This highlights the responsibility of everyone at all levels of society.

It is important to right the course in the swell of divisions:

Too often men think only of their petty, short-sighted interests,” recalls His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH..

They even forget that they are treading the soil of the same planet and exploiting the riches of the same Mother Earth.

Peoples divide, families fracture, nations dissociate, because each one privileges his particular interest over the general interest of the planet.

This selfish mentality must be imperatively reformed if the peoples of the Earth want to be able one day to live in peace in the Golden Age recovered… ” [2]

(La Révolution du monde des Vivants et des Morts, p. 462)

It is the service of the collective interest which, beyond differences, unites the sailors of the same ship to bring it to a safe harbor. And we are all sailors of the Earth ship which must go, against all odds, towards more justice, solidarity and respect for life. [3]

Keeping this course in our daily thoughts and actions allows us to contribute to the pacification of the world.

contribution to peace

Dear brothers and sisters in humanity, war wherever it strikes in the world, and today again, upsets us. But in the face of hatred, we must not restrict the power of Love. It is in each of us.[1] And this is the moment to express it with all our heart and all together. If we manage to stop feeling separated from others, to assume the part of common humanity that makes us all co-responsible for the fate of the planet, we can act for the pacification of the world.[2]

The Lord HAMSAH MANARAH encourages us to “generate by our beneficial thoughts, a powerful current of peace, brotherhood, true love” to ward off the hatreds that lead to wars.

« If each one of us makes the sufficient effort to purify his or her heart, to eliminate hostility and hatred, and to learn to love his or her neighbor, the world and the universe, our Earth will be pacified and the inhabited planets will benefit frpm it, despite their distance. [3]

 People who understand the seriousness of the problem must help to awaken in all beings the desire to love our brothers and sisters in humanity more and more and to consciously put into motion the necessary energies of love. (…) [4]

By our efforts in the Way of Love, justice, sense of duty, acceptance of our responsibilities, we will obtain the decrease of the risks of conflicts, revolutions and wars.  [5]

BREATHING TO CALM DOWN

 

There are times when it is difficult not to be overwhelmed by events that disrupt daily life. Emotions quickly reach saturation point. If you have to accept your emotions, you have to make an effort for yourself and those around you to overcome the destabilizing tensions.

The simplest way is to reconnect with the life force by focusing on the breath that carries it: “All you have to do is apply yourself to breathing slowly, progressively and deeply to regain your calm and serenity. The Deep Breathing has already been proposed [1] – as well as suggestions for developing self-confidence and mastering the imagination. [2]

You don’t have the time? Your mind is elsewhere? Among the techniques listed in Naturopathy and Yoga, the easiest one can help you instantly reconnect with the reassuring regularity and continuity of your breath.

Quiet breathing (p. 62)

– Sitting comfortably or lying on your back, relax.

– Breathe out gradually and completely, then let the air in on its own without effort.

– Be aware of the act of breathing. Feel the movement of the abdomen, the diaphragm, the ribs, the thorax.

– Repeat the experience several times until you feel a real relaxation.

Start with a small number of times, which you increase gradually. Also increase the frequency of the exercise.

Effects: promotes relaxation. Recharge in energy. Increases the concentration power of the mind.

Breathing consciously as often as possible calms the body and mind, helps to distance oneself from stress and thus to better cope with the unexpected.

continuitY OF LIFE

 

All religious and spiritual traditions have a specific conception of the afterlife that welcomes the soul at the death of the body.

According to Aumism, the soul of the deceased continues to evolve in an afterlife called “Column of Light”. It is “a school of life after death where a transformation of mentalities takes place step by step, allowing for a happy reincarnation”: by developing the qualities of the Golden Age [1], the soul will become capable of spreading peace on Earth.   (A Law to Destroy Evil, p. 421.)

This continuity of learning in the visible and the invisible involves helping all beings uninterruptedly, both before and after physical death, through prayer and thought. In this way, when we are faced with the pain of bereavement, it is possible to continue to show concern for our loved ones.

This continuity also encourages us to see the price of the present existence and to fulfill it as best we can, keeping in our hearts and minds the meaning of the human journey:

“What is Evolution if not a few more steps at each incarnation

in the way of Divine Love, of Unity with everyone,

of forgiveness of offenses and of the greatest tolerance?” [2]

A KEY OF LIGHT

 

It is not always easy to see the best in the other person, in a relationship where the shortcomings of the personality – the “ego” – take over, leading to mistrust, misunderstanding and quarrels. One reduces the other to what he or she reproaches, losing sight of God present in each person.

Thus, in a story illustrating the 22 Principles of Golden Age Morality (The Torch of Unity p. 344), a young man asks an old Hermit:

“How will I be able to see God Almighty in everyone, when every day I am arguing with a brother, a sister, a relative, a friend, an enemy I meet on the way? –

Good question, young man!

All you have to do is to apply the principle of selfless prayer offered to God Almighty present in everyone so that the veils preventing you from seeing the Light of Unity shining in everyone fall away. [1] [2]

Prayer is a Key of Light, a real laser tearing the darkness of the fear of the other.

Prayer is a bit like the plug that you insert in the electric current receptacle. The Light of your prayer is boundless, if you know at all times that you want the happiness of others, even of your enemies.

HELPING WHERE YOU ARE

 

Some people ask themselves how they can work for the world in their daily lives. In addition to concrete solidarity actions, the desire to help others is compatible with all our activities. It is a matter of developing more benevolence within ourselves and communicating it. [1] This excerpt from the Yoga of Love in Strength p. 239, puts us in a position to help those we meet, even the strangers we just pass by :

“Cultivate purity, courtesy, tolerance.

– Bless all beings: wish that love, peace, health, harmony, benevolence, happiness, the feeling of solidarity be in all beings.

– Observe especially sad, discouraged people; those who are engaged in evil, to send them vibrations of peace.

– Develop a love that seeks to discover qualities rather than defects.

– Detach yourself from your little self, enough to no longer know envy, jealousy, fear of the other.

– To apply ourselves to see the Divine in ourselves and in all beings. [3]

– To pray for the opening of their hearts to Divine Love and of their minds to true Knowledge.

– Bless every home we enter and all the inhabitants of the hamlets, villages, towns, cities, regions, countries, continents, and finally the Earth and the entire universe.

– When we meet enemies, villains, inspired by envy, jealousy, showing their sense of separateness, let us bless them again and pray for their evolution.

– Let us burst peaceful bombs of light, love, compassion, in all the public places in which we find ourselves, so that the sleeping ones awaken to the Reality of their inner world and engage in the ascension of themselves. “

FAMILY LIFE

Assuming family, social and professional obligations in the world gives us daily opportunities to develop a sense of responsibility, more altruism and concern for those around us and, little by little, for all humanity.  [1]  Cultivating, for example, love and respect for differences within one’s family is a real factor of progress on the spiritual path of Aumism.  [2] This is expressed in this passage from the book “Spiritual Master and Disciple”, p. 283:

“Love for one’s family members is a step on the path of universal Love.

Married life, the education of children, the confrontation with difficulties, family and social responsibilities, all these help in the formation of character, in the transformation of man, in the development of his qualities.

One becomes accustomed to overcoming certain forms of selfishness, and in the end, conscious sacrifices for the happiness of those one loves are even natural. (…) Out of love for one’s family, one learns to be patient, to control one’s reactions, one’s language, so as not to hurt or scandalize. One spares the children so vulnerable in their innocence and their sensitivity. When love weakens, the feeling of duty replaces it…

If one is a mystic, one applies oneself to see God in those who surround us, love us and whom we cherish. “

UNITY WITH THE DIVINE

The divisions, fanaticism, sectarianism and wars still being waged in the world today in the name of religions are all attempts to undermine God who is Love for all.

Too often, humans see God only in the founder of a religion – their own – which they oppose to those of others. From there to wanting to impose it by force, there is only one step. [1]

Too often, humans reduce God to an alibi allowing them to justify their own desire for domination and violence, their wars and persecutions.

Fortunately, the nature of the Divine escapes all these human endeavors, God being Energy of Life and Love.

His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH reminds us:

“Think more in terms of ONE Energy

driven by a transcendent Consciousness,

manifesting both through Form and outside of all Form. “

(Aumism, the Doctrine of the Golden Age, p. 37)

If this indivisible Energy is incarnated in different places, at different times, under different Faces, these could not be a source of division since all are “Rays of the same Center of Light”, driven by a single Mission: to favor the evolution of humans towards more Love, more brotherhood.

Aumism, the religion of the Unity of the Faces of God, affirms this essential principle: “God is One and multiple are his manifestations”, guaranteeing peace between believers of all religions who are moving towards the same goal. [2] This principle and its concrete applications open up the spiritual, human and social perspectives of a future of tolerance and solidarity, in the common service of humanity.

A HEALTHY PATH

Compatible with all lifestyles, aumist spiritual practice is integrated into daily life. There is no break between the time devoted to God and the time devoted to various activities. Depending on the context, each person can, by praying, by offering his or her actions to the Divine and to humanity, keep the course of spiritual evolution in the family, professional life, associations or other.  [1]  His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH invites us to do so in a text entitled: “The healthy path I show. “(Aumism, the Doctrine of the Golden Age, p.46)

– Become aware of your past and present mistakes. Try to understand yourself and what you want.

– Do not give up external action under the pretext that you are looking for God, otherwise you will soon be considered a parasite of society.

– Keep your feet on the ground, while contemplating the star of your ideal.

– Take care of your husband, your wife, your children, like all people wearing the blinkers of prosaism, but act as a person awake to the realities of the inner Universe. Pray often! Pray when you go to bed, pray when you wake up, pray when you walk, when you are in a crowd, pray in a car, in a train.

– Do not abandon your religion: remain a Christian, Jew, Hindu, Muslim… but study other religions to love them and especially to better understand your own.

– Eliminate the veils of illusion that surround your consciousness and prevent you from fully contemplating the inner Light.

– Endure adversity with valour. Remember to bless your enemies. Never return evil for evil.

– Cultivate charity, compassion, benevolence, forgiveness of offenses, generosity of heart, tolerance, and a sense of unity. Love your neighbor, the world and the universe. [2]

– Think of the proposed sublime goal: spiritual liberation.

– Express the perfection that is in potential within yourself, to consciously find your place within the Divine Consciousness. Spiritual Liberation is the state of purity due to the stripping away of egoism, to real detachment, to the annihilation of vain desires parasitizing the soul; it is the state of deep universal love; it is the feeling of Unity, of Universality, conferring Bliss.

POSITIVE THINKING

 

Thought, let us remember, is creative: it is better to favour positive thoughts which, without denying difficulties, help to face them. They go hand in hand with benevolent, fraternal and united thoughts to contribute to the moral and spiritual elevation of the planet. [1] For those who want to improve their lives, “optimism is the transmutant of the negative tendencies of the being” – sadness, doubt, fear, anxiety and hostile feelings.

“To be optimistic is to welcome events with the best hope;

it is to be ready to have a good advantage to draw from the most unfavorable situations;

it is to cultivate this positive mental attitude which helps to see the good, the great

without, however, falling into the blissful optimism of one who loses touch with reality… “.

( The Yoga of Practical Life p. 160)

In practice, to reach a goal, we can accompany our efforts with selected affirmations which, counterbalancing the fears of failure, open up to success. This can be a maxim or an affirmation such as “Kindness grows in me”, “I am divinely inspired, enlightened, guided” etc. Repeated, displayed, combined with the breath, they permeate our mind.[2] (Techniques developed in The Yoga of Practical Life ch. VI, VII.)

To find more strength, we can promote the growth of our sense of oneness with “the Source of all Good” by stating, for example:

“I am the Supreme Self in Oneness with Divine Consciousness”

or “I am more and more in Unity with the Ideal of the Golden Age”[3].

TOWARDS DIVINE LOVE

 

To want to free love from the limitations that can restrict its blossoming (egoism, instability, rejection, hatred…), is already to start illuminating all its expressions. We can then start to move towards the highest, unconditional and selfless love, source of true happiness, Divine Love.

This is what this text from the Aumist religion reminds us:

 

“From dry love to hatred of the world,

There is only one step. [1]

From restricted human love

To sectarianism and murderous fanaticism,

There is only one step. [2]

To escape selfishness and hatred,

Go forward, oh pilgrim.

Open your heart to the Love of Love,

Without waiting for anything,

And you will receive the Light of Peace,

From the happiness of having wanted peace

And the happiness of others. 

Such is the Law of the Divine Love.

Become a Ray of the sun of Love

And testify everywhere,

For Love of Love. ”

GETTING OUT OF SECTARISM

 

The second step to take on the road to love is that of a widespread human love, less selfish than the “love for oneself” mentioned in the previous post [1], but which remains “restricted to the family framework, to a people, a nation, a religion.” When it becomes exclusive, it can come dangerously close to sectarianism, intolerance, exclusion, racism and other forms of violence towards the rest of the world…

Even without reaching such degrees, human love can thus become locked in prejudice, in mistrust of the unknown, the stranger, the difference.

To change this mental state is to rid it of the limits that create divisions and oppositions. While obviously continuing to cherish one’s loved ones, to love one’s roots or culture, one can learn to love without borders. [2]

“Raise your consciousness beyond the separate soap bubbles of your families, your regions, your homelands, says His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH. Reach out to the dimension of Love for the whole Earth… “

Here is an excerpt from the aumist prayer “to pour Love over the whole Earth”, promoting this wonderful expansion that, step by step, opens to Love in all its dimensions:

“I do not reject anyone, I love everyone

because I have understood that the Earth is a unit of Divine Love

of which I must be in solidarity.”

GET OUT OF EGOISM

 

To open oneself to the mental state of the Golden Age is to develop within oneself “the powerful force of love” that humans have, in the Iron Age, forgotten or denatured. The Aumist Teaching gives the means to those who want to evolve to cross different levels of love in order to walk at their own pace towards a love free of all limitations.

At the first level, men and women who are the unfortunate prisoners of selfishness, “love for oneself”, can find themselves with a dry heart. Unfortunately, some become insensitive to the trials of others, prey to resentment and even hatred.

For those who become aware of these states of mind, who suffer from them, Aumism puts the love of one’s neighbor at the center of everything, of every relationship. The “Prescription for opening up to love” in Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 153, of which the following is an excerpt, bears witness to this:

Accompanied by a visualization of Light and followed by an accelerated repetition of the Sound OM, these three wishes help those who want to gradually overcome their dryness of heart:

“I love my parents as much as I do 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 world as myself.
and wishes everyone all the happiness in the world.”

PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

“The meeting of all good thoughts and feelings attracts happy events for humanity. The conjunction of thoughts of hatred and the incidence of bad deeds sooner or later brings about disasters that harm the world”. (The Spiritual Master and the Disciple, p.285)

For more than 50 years, the founder of Aumism has always encouraged us to unite our thoughts to diminish suffering and prepare a better future by generating “a powerful current of peace, fraternity, true love…”.
This is what we can do to help our humanity to get through the current trials, and this proposal concerns everyone:

“We invite all believing and unbelieving humans to direct thoughts of benevolence towards peoples, nations, heads of state. (…)
Let us ask all people of good will to make this short prayer (The Golden Age Doctrine, p. 313):

Aum, Aum, Aum

TOWARDS SOLIDARITY

 

At the beginning of this year, making a new start is an opportunity to think more about others. Let’s take advantage of the new awareness – which we are currently experiencing – to move away from individualism, to orient our lives towards solidarity in thought, word and action. [1]
To begin with, let us accept to question ourselves :

“What have I done today to help my neighbour ?
What will I do tomorrow to alleviate the suffering of the world ? »
(The Revolution of the World of the Living and the Dead, p. 442).

Whatever our response, we can move forward, bring ourselves to the best of our ability.
We are all capable of cooperating, of giving concrete support to others in different ways. No gesture of mutual help is negligible.
And our actions will be all the more enhanced when we add the power of our thoughts of love, of our prayers for the world, for everyone.

By making solidarity a priority that unites us with our human brothers and sisters, we give our existence its deepest meaning  [2] :

“Life is an act of love,
a constant learning of solidarity and fraternity, of mutual helping. »

FORGIVING ONESELF

If regret can avoid reproducing a mistake, guilt often leads to resentment towards oneself and leads to the Age of Suffering (Iron Age)[1] Thus, “knowing how to forgive oneself is the first true and sincere step into the true Light that a soul can take…”.

Those who wish to walk towards this liberation will find help in particular in the “Key to Forgiveness to oneself” (The Revolution of the World of the Living and the Dead, p. 253) of which the following is an extract:

Pronounce mentally and then out loud, as if we were speaking to another ourselves:

“I forgive you for the evil done in the momentary bewilderment and ignorance.

I forgive you all bad thoughts and cancel all the effects.

I forgive you all bad words and cancel all the effects.

I forgive you all evil deeds and cancel all their effects.

May you, O my soul, from now on conform in every way to the Law of Evolution,

accept the Golden Age and integrate deep within you the ideal of unity, love and truth. »

 

Gradually emerging from a stagnation of remorse, we can move towards the serenity that opens the heart and mind.

“A soul that has forgiven itself will be like a cup suddenly emptied of the past.

and ready to receive the highest Energies, the most beautiful Lights that the sky can create and bring down. »

(The Golden Age Doctrine, p. 62).

AGEING WITHOUT FEAR

 

“Fragile, at-risk, vulnerable”… Older people often hear these terms. As the body’s resistance diminishes over time, it is certainly necessary to urge them to be cautious, especially in times of pandemic. However, adapting to the limitations imposed by the years does not mean identifying with a body whose vigour diminishes while forgetting the strength to continue to fulfil one’s life. [1]

“Man is the age of his thoughts.”

This is why His Holiness Lord Hamsah Manarah invites us to “read texts that elevate thoughts, exalt the strength of the soul, help to maintain serenity”; to affirm within ourselves that “youth and dynamism are prolonged”; not to shut ourselves up in the past, to always have projects and objectives to achieve, not to “desert our ideal”.

“Always have the motivation to help others, because by helping others, the soul helps itself to remain young, to see itself projected into the future”.                                       (The Law of Evolution of Souls, p. 186)

So even as you grow older, it is possible to make yourself useful, to give meaning to your presence on Earth:

“Let us strive to do good with discernment. Let us forgive. Let us love with as little selfishness as possible, let us make people happy. ”                                                   (Naturopathy and Yoga, p. 204)

Humanity needs thoughts of peace, prayers, repetitions of the Sound OM that each one of us can offer, whatever the period of his life.

INCREASE YOUR STRENGTH

 

In this autumn of 2020, it is a question of remaining vigilant on a daily basis, of remaining focused on a dual necessity.

– to continue to keep a watchful eye on one’s health and that of others in the face of the pandemic,

– to keep a watchful eye on one’s morale and that of those around him in the face of the news, of everything that can generate an anxiety-provoking atmosphere : “our thoughts and feelings act on us in the present and influence our future”, also reflecting on our collective future. Let’s not allow fear or discouragement to take hold, let’s remain determined to develop our inner strength over time. This is an inalienable good for each and all generations.

“Every existence includes periods of struggle and difficulties. Take courage. Work hard to overcome obstacles. Never allow yourself to be overwhelmed. »

                           (The Yoga of Practical Living, p. 222)

 

Positive affirmations can help those who repeat them to increase this strength. An example, from the Aumist Teachings :

“I am a centre of Strength, Light and Consciousness.

I am in unity with Divine Consciousness,

I am divinely protected, inspired, enlightened, guided. “

                          (The Yoga of Love in Strength, p. 234) [1]

EDUCATING FOR RESPECT

Today, we must restore mutual respect to its rightful place. Education is the springboard for this indispensable change of mentality.

“Men will not know peace and harmony until they develop more respect for the human value in their neighbor.”

(Yoga et Sagesse, p. 257)

This is why the founder of the Aumism addresses educators : “Parents, teachers, professors of all countries, unite in the sacred duty of developing a sense of fraternity in all children! »

With the men and women who, on all continents, make education the birth of a happier humanity, let us give children the desire and the ability to avoid or resolve conflicts, to cooperate, to cultivate “non-violence, the absence of racism, sympathy for all nations, respect for all beliefs and religions, universal Love. “ »  (Le Yoga de la Vie pratique, p. 277) [1]

More than ever, beyond today’s difficulties, let us remember that young people are the living forces of tomorrow’s world. Setting an example for them, educating them in mutual respect is a necessary contribution to their relational development and social balance.

GETTING OUT OF THE VIOLENCE

Working for humanity means helping it to escape from all forms of violence generated by discrimination and intolerance:

“Accept the other in his difference, because unity is not the crushing of those who do not think like you, but the reconciliation of all those who think differently, while uniting their efforts for a better world. »

(A Law to Destroy Evil, p. 427)

Respect for differences is fundamental in Aumism, because “God is the same for all and present in everyone”, whatever the name given to Him. This implies – respect for different religions. “Fighting, dividing in the Name of the Divine or of a religion that we consider superior to others is the worst crime against God who is Love“. (The Yoga of Love in Strength p. 288). – respect for every woman, every man, every child. All physical and moral aggression directed against human beings is, through them, directed against the Divine. [1]  But no matter how diverse our paths may be, we can together, through the right action, prayer and thought, contribute to build a peaceful, increasingly tolerant, supportive and happy society:

“Raising the moral level of humanity by saturating the human mind with optimistic, fraternal, unitary, constructive thoughts has become an emergency. »

SAVE THE PLANET

“Let’s change to save the planet! “This is the call of the 12th International Colloquium on Ecology, a priority for the “next world”, which will take place on October 3 and 4, 2020.

With the health crisis, the concern for human health and life can only reinforce our responsibility in the face of the consequences of the ecological crisis: its victims are already countless around the world. Pollution, in all its forms, damages the health and life of everyone on a daily basis.

At the crossroads of the multiple imbalances of the planet, the ecological crisis also concentrates all the S.O.S. In all sectors, at all levels of society, it pushes us to change.

Recovering our unity with Nature is therefore vital. We are in osmosis and she reacts to our violence as well as to our solicitude. By taking care of her health, we take care of our own. By preserving its life, we preserve that of our humanity, that of our children’s children.

This is still possible if, in a burst of lucidity, we seize the chance to break with past mistakes, to make new choices. His Holiness the Lord HAMSAH MANARAH insists:

“The prospects for the future depend on the present and on the real will to change of each one of us. »

In concert with other voices that rise to accelerate awareness and bring about positive change, ecology focuses us on our individual and collective responsibility: it is based on the presence of the Divine in all kingdoms – mineral, vegetable, animal, human – which entails the need to respect and protect the planet in all its components. [1]

Faced with the urgency of ecological rescue, everyone can join with their fellow human beings in sharing prayer and action:

– by repeating the OM’s song for the evolution of all.

– by acting concretely and tirelessly for the selfless service of all humanity.

“Men, beyond their differences, must know how to unite at the bedside of their living environment, sick of being overexploited and polluted. »

(The Revolution of the World of the Living and the Dead, p.443)

It is this work of love that can save our planet.

The world after…

May 17, 2020

Many citizens have shown, before and during the containment, their willingness to build a healthier, more united society; States are now obliged to cooperate in the face of the pandemic and its consequences. The world is on the move but nothing is a foregone conclusion…

It is time to accept the need for a profound change in the hearts and minds of humans to get out of the current slump. Cut with the mistakes of the past. Seize the opportunity to rechoice Life, to develop our humanity at its best, which will lead to the New Era, also called the Golden Age.

This is what Humankind says about the ideal of the Golden Age (excerpt from A Law to Destroy Evil, p. 89):

– The Golden Age has as its foundation concrete solidarity.

– The Golden Age would not exist without international fraternity ignoring borders, selfishness, cultures, ideologies, religions.

– The Golden Age imposes tolerance, mutual respect, forgiveness of offenses, acceptance of the faults of others.

– Whoever wants to see the Golden Age become a reality on Earth must make it a point of honor to be, himself, herself, the living example of unity in love, brotherhood and solidarity without borders.

– The Golden Age is above all the gesture of the hand extended towards the one who suffers.

– The Golden Age is a mental state of self-giving, verified in concrete and selfless actions every day.

– The Golden Age is also the saving prayer that comforts souls, that swarms in the invisible to harvest in the visible. (…).

– The Golden Age is the humanitarian and social action that saves men and women from hunger, war, fear and anguish.

– The Golden Age is the spiritual and mental action that relieves billions of disembodied souls who do not know where to go.

– The Golden Age is love for everyone, regardless of language, religion or ethnic origin.

– The Golden Age is every day that we must express it, in ourselves and around us.

Far from being a myth disconnected from reality, it is a mental state accessible to all, making us responsible and co-creators of a better future for future generations: whatever our concerns, even our difficulties, let us never forget that the future is in our hands.

VESAK  Prayer in unity

The foundation of Aumism is the Unity of God’s Faces : “God is one whatever the Name by which He is called”. This is why we pray in unity of heart and spirit, with our Brothers and Sisters of other traditions, especially during the great celebrations of each one.

After the Christic feast of Easter comes the Vesak at the full moon of May, one of the most important feasts for the various currents of Buddhism. On this occasion, joining their prayers to that of all Buddhists around the world, the aumists celebrate the Buddha in its various manifestations and more particularly in its aspect of Maitreya, whose statue (one of the largest in the world) sits, at the heart of the Holy city of Mandarom Shambhasalem, facing that of Christ.

More than ever, our Earth, in this time of trial, needs Love, Compassion and Unity. So that the sufferings of all humans may be alleviated, whatever their path, we can pray together:

To free souls from hatred
OM OM OM
To free the souls of war
OM OM OM
To free souls from the suffering of hell
OM OM OM
To reunite man and Mother Nature
OM OM OM
To unite humanity into one people
OM OM OM
May Peace, Love, Light be for all beings to infinity.

THE VALUE OF LIFE

It is possible that, obsessed with purely material concerns, we have more or less obscured the vulnerability of our human condition. Like other acute and global crises, the pandemic, with the number of its victims published daily – sometimes even with the mourning of a loved one – brutally (re)confronts us with the finitude of our existence… But it also invites us to regenerative awareness:

– That of our inner resources: “On the one hand we are humans with this known vulnerability, on the other hand we participate in the divinity. This latter awareness should not only comfort us in moments of despondency due to trials; it should also strengthen us enough to arouse Strength and Courage…”. » (La Réintégration Divine par le Yoga, p. 97)

– That of the value of our existence. To meditate on the meaning and use of our precious and ephemeral life, here are some of the questions we can ask ourselves: “Have I done well? Have I thought well? Did I do the right thing? Who am I to be reconciled with? Whom do I ask forgiveness from? Who do I have to forgive? What goals should I set for my transformation and the evolution of my fellow human beings? (La Loi d’Evolution des âmes, p.325)

If we feel that we have not accomplished all that we could have done or wanted to do, let us not sink into guilt. We can strive to evolve as best we can from now on:

– By gradually getting out of dependence on things and beings, in order to move towards the appeasement of the wise who manage to feel “temporary managers” of their material goods and to rid their affectivity of possessiveness, without giving up loving fully.

– By giving a luminous meaning to our daily life by the following means: harmonizing our relationships through benevolence, tolerance, reconciliation; acting in solidarity with others and our environment; generating thoughts of compassion, positive thoughts.

– By praying also (for example by repeating the OM) to alleviate suffering in the world, to help the souls of the deceased, to foster in us and our fellow men a sense of unity and respect for all that lives.

Thus the spectacular emergence of human frailty can help us to regain awareness of the unalterable force of Love present in each one of us, and to choose to express it.

OFFER YOUR ACTIONS

Being confined with your children can be an opportunity to give them time, to rediscover them. But some parents are constantly called upon by young and old, while ensuring their hours of telework and other essential tasks…

It is therefore important to be patient, to remember the deep meaning of family life:

“Love for family members is a step on the road to universal love. Conjugal life, bringing up children, dealing with difficulties, family and social responsibilities, all this helps to build character, transform men and develop their qualities. “(The Spiritual Master and the disciple, p.283)

What if, while taking care of others, you don’t find a moment of refocusing on yourself?

It is through action “in conscience” that we can stay focused on the essential: “those who have only a short time are able, if they want to, to find a way to give a another dimension to the smallest gestures that they are obliged to perform ”, says His Holiness the Lord HAMSAH MANARAH    (Le Yoga de l’Amour dans la Force, ch. 14 )

Any action, however prosaic, can be “spiritualized”:

“Whenever you have to accomplish a material task, which you dislike, cost you, or even please, offer it to the Divine. “

(La Réintégration Divine par le Yoga, p. 203.)

In Aumism as in Hinduism, the offering of actions to the Divine or to Humanity is the foundation of what tradition calls Karma-Yoga or “Yoga of selfless action”. Particularly suited to life in the modern world, it is an authentic spiritual path, intended for those who “love God through beings and work for the good of the community in a spirit of selflessness.” ”

This perspective helps to avoid dispersion, to act consciously, in the best possible way, by detaching from any tension on a personal interest. The duty thus fulfilled out of love contributes to the evolution of the planet as a whole. This is why this offering also applies to people who, although they do not believe in God, nevertheless sincerely desire to improve the world and keep their spirit centered on this commitment.

TO REFOCUS ON ONESELF

Despite the communication tools that allow people to keep in touch with their family, relatives or friends, confinement imposes an unprecedented loneliness on many people. Being alone with oneself, with one’s contrasting reactions to isolation, can sometimes be difficult to live with, but the situation can also offer the opportunity for a precious refocusing on oneself, on what is essential.

In this process of positive introspection, Aumism, like other traditions, calls each person to (re)become aware of his or her divine nature, considering that God is present within us:
“Become the God you are” is the word addressed to every human being on Earth by His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH, founder of the religion of Aumism.

Becoming aware of our divine nature and walking the spiritual path of “divinization” does not consist in “bringing down” or introducing into man “something” that did not exist. It is about tearing the veil of ignorance that prevents us from contemplating the Divine already within us. (Le Yoga de la Divinisation, p. 18)

Therefore, it is a matter of identifying oneself not with one’s personality but with the Divine Consciousness, not being afraid to affirm: “I am the Supreme I.”

To make this affirmation one’s own is also to make the profound resolution to improve ourselves a little more each day, without guilt but with determination, to reduce our shortcomings and defects, so that benevolence, tolerance, love, brotherhood and solidarity may grow more and more within us each day.

This effort to develop one’s human qualities also concerns of course atheists of good will, even if they do not accept the idea of a divine dimension :

“You have the right to deny the existence of God…
but you have a duty to transform,
to improve yourself for the happiness of the world. »
(Yoga et Sagesse, p.283 )

EASTER UNITED PRAYER

The foundation of Aumism is the Unity of God’s Faces : “God is one, whatever the name by which He is called”. That is why we pray in unity of heart and spirit with our Brothers and Sisters of other traditions, especially during the great celebrations of each one.

Confinement does not prevent the feeling of Unity! On this Easter Day 2020, Aumists around the world are celebrating the Cosmic Christ, joining their prayers with those of Christians around the world.
Our prayers converge to help those, believers and non-believers alike, who are going through the current planetary ordeal.
May our humanity come out of it more united, more fraternal!
May the Light of Love and Unity shine in the hearts of everyone, whatever the country or nation!

Reign among all Humans!
May Health, Happiness and Prosperity be for all!
May protection and spiritual progress
Be the prerogative of all beings!

TO CALM RELATIONS

Being confined to a group of people is not always easy, even if you get along well. You have to look after the morale of the household !
By repeating the OM Sound for our loved ones, by striving to preserve our physical and mental balance, we will encourage them to share soothing practices.
Confinement is a school of living-together with an accelerated program! It puts us before the necessity of mutual respect, acceptance of differences, mutual help… Our understanding, our affection will encourage and empower everyone.
Furthermore, it is important to avoid tensions, to know how to reconcile. This strengthens the bonds of love and cooperation. Here are two keys to help us do this:

The cancellation of aggressive thoughts…

Aumism, like many spiritual traditions and religions of East and West, considers thought to be creative. It urges us to nourish thoughts of love, peace, benevolence, and to refrain from “harmful” thoughts. But if some escape – which happens to every human being! – we believe that it is possible to act on them, therefore on their consequences: the work is at the same time that of an ethical awareness and that of a spiritual alchemy. Firstly by trying not to reproduce the same aggressive mental pattern; secondly by neutralizing the emitted thoughts, i.e. by substituting them with a positive mental vibration. For example, by internally repeating the following formula:

“I cancel the thought of hatred emitted against Such
and sends him a thought of love, peace, harmony and unity.
May his soul forgive me and be reconciled with my inner God.”
(Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 185)

Forgiveness

In a number of situations that can “damage” the relationship, forgiveness helps us to make things right, to free us from guilt and resentment, to restore goodwill:

“The first step is forgiveness to oneself to avoid self-punishment.
The second step is to turn to those who have wronged us,
who have done us the most harm, by telling them : “I forgive you for the evil you’ve done.
May the Light be in your mind and the Divine Love in your heart. »
(Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 177-178)

These soothing practices are not reserved for confinement! They help to harmonize relationships in all situations.

TO TRANSFORM ONESELF

Any hardship is a springboard for transformation.
It is a matter today for everyone – those who must go out to help, those who must stay at home, believers and non-believers, in France and in all countries – of keeping the course of courage in the long term.
It is an opportunity to strengthen oneself through inner transformation.

So the question we will ask ourselves as the days go by is:
“How can we make this event an opportunity to express the best of ourselves? »

There is in each one a constructive force, a force of love that fixed habits, purely material concerns do not solicit, and that selfishness and divisions suffocate. By asking us to make an extra effort, this crisis gives us the opportunity to free it, to live it fully.

To make this new beginning easier for us:
– the first step is to consider life as a school and to say to ourselves with each experience: “What do I need to learn from it to progress? “If we find it difficult to step back from situations that overwhelm us with emotions, let us accept this with kindness towards ourselves and persevere:

“We were born on this Earth to learn to love. »

– the second step is to say to yourself, wherever you are, “How can I love, how can I help in the best possible way?” It’s a guiding thread that leads us to the right word and action in any context:

“By helping your brothers and sisters, you chisel the jewel of your soul and you will conquer true happiness
which is to have wanted to make everyone you meet happy.”
(Le Flambeau d’Unité, p. 397)

DIVINE REFUGE

Add divine protection to health protection measures!

For Aumism, God is present in each and everyone, and He is the same for all, no matter what Name is used to designate Him. Affirming one’s unity with the Divine is a way of being united with the Almighty, with our human brothers and sisters (believers and non-believers alike), and of placing ourselves under the protection of the Heavenly and Cosmic Powers who watch over Humanity. This is what this affirmation reminds us of:

“I am One with the Lord God Almighty present in everyone,
All obstacles in my path are cleared,
I am divinely inspired, enlightened, guided, protected. »

The Law of Evolution of Souls, p. 438

*******

 

KEEP CALM

The epidemic is also one of stress, of accumulated fears that destabilize and cause loss of self-confidence in one’s ability to cope. This is understandable. But more than ever, restoring and maintaining emotional stability is a necessity.

This involves activating relational support (telephone or Internet contacts with family, relatives, friends, etc.) or, in the event of difficulty, calling on professionals who can be mobilized during this period (for example, via certain telephone platforms for reliable psychological support set up by institutions).

Moreover, on an individual level, it is possible for each of us, believers or non-believers, to put into practice a few simple techniques that can help us regain calm or keep it over time.

“The culture of calm makes us less and less vulnerable to outside influences”, it has “a happy effect on health. “It has a positive effect on health. It has a positive effect on the environment and society.

Practicing positive autosuggestion  

“Fear fixes attention on the dark side of things, on the negative. She is a pessimist. It depresses, paralyses the faculties. We need to neutralize it by confronting it with thoughts of courage, confidence, optimism, self-confidence. “(The Yoga of Practical Life)

Positive autosuggestion is a means of developing self-confidence: the method is developed in the book cited above.

An adapted formula, accepted in the deepest part of oneself, is effective. Recorded, displayed, repeated, it permeates the subconscious, makes the efforts made to succeed effective, supports the process of transformation in the chosen direction.

Technique to develop self-confidence

Use one formula at a time, for example:

“I am more calm and in control of myself. »

“I’m getting stronger and stronger. »

“I’m getting more and more confident and self-assured. »

An important point : live in the awareness of the fulfillment of one’s affirmation.

Here is a possible complement before making an affirmation:

• Standing or sitting (facing north or east), relax. Breathe calmly.
• Send thoughts of peace, love, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity in all directions of space.
• Think: “I am in Unity with the Divine Consciousness. »
• Pronounce the chosen statement.

Master the unbridled imagination

Fear unleashes, with harmful imagination, the “cyclone of emotions”. It is a matter of taking a step back, exercising one’s reason and the vigilance required in the face of events.

Taken from Meditation for the Mastery of the Imagination (in The Law of Evolution of Souls, ch. XXIV ), here is an affirmation that can help us to stay in balance:

“I am a Center of strength, light, consciousness.

I control my mind better and better.

I am more and more positive in all circumstances.

Nothing negative can reach me.

I remain serene, calm and in control of myself in all circumstances. »

This affirmation can be accompanied by the repetition of the OM sound.

*****

TAKING CARE OF ONESELF

Taking care of yourself physically and mentally helps you to cope with difficulties: “the culture of calm makes you less and less vulnerable to outside influences”, it has “a happy effect on health. “It has a beneficial effect on health. It has also a positive effect on the environment and society.

KEEPING FIT

By instituting habits, we can prevent the impact of sedentary lifestyles and give ourselves the satisfaction of wellness.

Exercise at home

Only to the extent that official recommendations allow, short outings close to home can be used. Exercises can also be done indoors.

In the absence of symptoms of illness in the home and in people confined with us, in the strict respect of hygiene and social distancing (therefore also depending on the space and promiscuity), everyone can make gentle gymnastic movements or adapt their usual practices to the context, the benefits of which will continue to be felt. Hatha- Yoga, for example, practiced with common sense and according to the rules, promotes “nervous balance, the return to calm, self-conquest and lasting happiness. »

Breathing consciously

“Good breathing is the necessary condition for the harmonious functioning of the organs, the control of emotions, and general well-being. »

Let us recall here a basic technique of Pranayama (breath control) taken from Naturopathy and Yoga. Beneficial for all, it promotes inner peace.

Technique of Complete Deep Breathing

During the day, take frequent deep breaths. According to each person’s capacity, start with a few breaths and gradually increase until:

• 10 to 15 minutes in the morning when you wake up,
• 3 to 5 minutes at bedtime. In order to avoid an increase in energy that delays sleep, the evening session should be short.

Sitting, standing or lying down in a ventilated room, preferably facing north or east:

– Completely empty the lungs.

– Inspire: to lower the diaphragm and to inflate the abdomen hardly; to dilate the average part of the thorax, to draw aside the ribs without forcing, to bulge gradually without exaggerating.

– Exhale: lower the shoulders while gradually letting the ribs descend; contract the walls of the abdomen to finish breathing.

N.B.: inhalation and exhalation must be done slowly and progressively through the nose. During the exercise moderation should be the priority: one should not have the feeling of running out of air or of being hyperventilating for example. Complete breathing can be combined with the repetition of the OM sound.

Integrate bodily practices into one’s schedule.

A daily program – quite flexible of course – allows us to keep our bearings, to manage our life during confinement as best we can. It ensures that there is room for a variety of activities, protecting us from complacency which quickly degenerates into lassitude. Integrating bodily practices into one’s schedule ensures their continuity over time for our greater good. Let us keep in mind this encouragement: “Regularity in practice invigorates the will, increases dynamism and efficiency. »

At times when we need courage to persevere, let us remember that taking care of ourselves is taking care of others. And also… that “the body is the Temple of the Soul”.

*****

EPIDEMIC: CONTAINMENT, A REFOCUSING OPPORTUNITY

How can we turn this period into a return to basics ?

First, we must give meaning to our daily lives in relation to the national and international situation: in addition to preserving ourselves, remaining confined is a civic act that can save lives. By avoiding unintentional contamination or contamination (some people can transmit the virus without having symptoms), we act as a barrier to the spread, we avoid contributing to the overloading of hospitals and caregivers. This is a strong motivation that needs to be reiterated over the weeks. We will thus come out of it more responsible, more united. Let us not forget that it will come to an end.

To make it a time of enrichment, we will regularly propose on the site of Aumism some springboards of practical exercises, reading, reflection, meditation, drawn from the Written Teaching of His Holiness the Lord HAMSAH MANARAH. Simple suggestions within the reach of all, believers and non-believers alike, compatible with the conditions of confinement (and which are in NO CASE a substitute for official instructions and medical treatment).

*****

REPEAT THE OM or AUM SOUND

The benefits of repetition of the OM chant – found in Amen, Amin, Aum – are listed in Chapter I of the Book “Aumism, the Doctrine of the Golden Age”. To enjoy them requires a spirit of benevolence.

“Sing the AUM aloud and you will purify the ambience and crystallize good vibrations. Sing the AUM in a low voice, it will calm your mind and promote concentration and healing.

Sing the AUM mentally, and you will more easily achieve concentration, meditation, inner strength that liberates and delivers the soul. »

Repeat the OM for all the cells of your body, all your organs and your chakras.

During the repetition, visualize a white light flooding your body.

Repeat the AUM for your surroundings, your country, the whole world.

For all those who are now leaving their fleshly bodies.

To help all those who are sick and suffering and their families.

To relieve those who are in the grip of fear and anguish.

And to support those who continue to provide for the needs of the community, to help and care.

 

“Remember the song of the AUM.

It saves souls in despair.

It saves people from destruction. »
