“It is our wish that the teachings, which are spread by us for so many years, be empty of any ritual, and be as stripped as possible so everyone who access them may easily integrate them. We wish the teachings to be as simple as possible, so they become accessible, and so you can practice them more easily.
The more intellectual are the teachings that you receive, the more difficult they are to understand, to integrate and to put into practice. Nevertheless, teachings that address the intellect and the ego are much more appreciated than simple ones because human beings function in this way.
Let us now speak about symbolism in the Universe. Do not forget that you are essentially universal beings. We do not practice symbolism. Beings who belong to higher levels of the Hierarchies do not practice symbolism, they live it continuously since they experience the creation of the Universe through sacred geometry, through form.
As far as we are concerned, we have absolutely no need for practicing rituals and using symbols similar to those you may practice, use and understand in your third dimensional world.
Here is an example: we mainly use the circle, but we will not tell you how because you would not be able to understand. We don't use geometrical forms the same way you do. You would not be able to understand them and use them the way we do.
A certain ritualistic symbolism has been given to man so that he can better understand his relationship with the Universe; in fact, these are markers, benchmarks, to call the energy, to connect with the higher planes, to understand the plane of the third dimension in which he is living.
We want you to understand that you have a spirit that you can use to be continuously connected with the Universe. Because the Universe is connected with you, all Knowledge is recorded deep within you. It will make itself known to you through the growing connection you have with the Universe.
Let us suppose that Knowledge is located in a circle of Light, in the depths of your being. Between the cardiac plexus and the solar plexus there is a small circle of Light – very powerful by the way – which we have called the ‘Point of Life' or ‘Point of Love'. Assume that all Knowledge is concentrated at this level. You know it intellectually, but you don't have the keys to access this point. One of the keys is Wisdom.
Without Wisdom you will never be able to access your point of Knowledge, of Love, of Light, because you might destroy yourself.
Another key is to connect to Universal Energy, to Cosmic Love through Universal Consciousness. When you really do this work with your heart, the key will be given to you – stimulation to open your inner center, this small sphere of Light, will be granted to you. It is a resonance that will take place within yourself at that time, and this Knowledge will be restored to you.
As long as you have not broken free from all your obstacles, and everything that still keeps you embedded, most often in the wrong way, to the planet Earth and to all its contingencies, as long as you have not totally given up all human suffering and, basically, anything that could be humiliation and small emotional suffering, as long as you have not gone beyond all these, that point will be inaccessible to you. However, it is within you.
Knowledge is entirely within you: there is no need to perform rituals or to have a special or specific knowledge. All you need to access this knowledge is the understanding of who you are, the permanent transformation of who you are.
We have often spoken about alchemy. Alchemy is to be continuously aware of who you are, to transform what you have understood and what you must transform within you. It is very long-term work; however, it is a wonderful work.
The Reward with a big R, is at the end of the road. Unfortunately snares, obstacles, are legion because at the level of knowledge, as at the level of consciousness, there is a ‘guardian of the threshold', an invisible energy that protects you against a premature opening, against premature access to this small sphere of Light that is within you.
This energy, this guardian of the threshold, knows perfectly well that as long as you are not ready in consciousness, this knowledge might be dangerous for you and for others.
Knowledge must be acquired only through Wisdom and Love. You will never acquire Knowledge through any book or training whatsoever.”
