Thanks to his insight into the supersensible world, the initiate gains a better knowledge and appreciation of the true value of visible nature than was possible before his higher training; and this may be counted among his most important experiences. (more…)

The actual destiny of an individual is, on the contrary, the result of his former deeds

The actual destiny of an individual is, on the contrary, the result of his former deeds. A person who radiates much love in one life will, in another, be able to stay young, inwardly as well as outwardly, for a long time. A person who harbors many feelings of hatred in one life will age prematurely in another. Individuals who abandon themselves to an ordinary, indolent life, which avoids all forms of spirituality, deprive themselves of something for their subsequent life that will be difficult for them to retrieve.

How to transform yourself, family and the world

It truly begins with Gnosis. To know and change thyself is something that is not only paramount in transforming our lives, but can also transform the world. Change yourself, change your family and then change the world. It is really that simple.

The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve

“That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.” ~ Albert Pike

Just like positive science, this Gnosis is systematic

“Just like positive science, this Gnosis is systematic; it is the same as the other knowledge in its systematic arrangement of the Cosmos, in its ensemble as well as in its smallest parts.” – Boris Mouravieff
