The Key to the Problems of Existence

$36.00

This book shows us that our ‘personality’, that inner force of which we are all aware and which so often leads us astray, can be a precious ally rather than an enemy. Instead of waging a losing battle against our lower nature, we can learn to control and use it to elevate ourselves. In doing so we gradually discover the existence of a higher psychic power within us, our ‘individuality’, which is above all contingencies and conflicts and is capable of using them to create inner harmony and true fraternal bonds.

 The whole world talks about change, the whole world wants change, yet nothing ever changes. It is because human beings need the light of initiatic science to show them clearly what change actually is, and what must be done in order to bring it about.

 Real change only begins with the person who succeeds in installing peace, order and harmony within themselves for that will set in motion a continual, uninterrupted movement of self- transformation and perfection.

Evolution Towards Light

I speak to you only of yourselves, of realities that exist within you. Even if you are still not aware of their existence and do not fully understand what I am referring to, I know that through my words I am contacting an entity whose only wish is to come into the light. This entity can be compared to a lotus that begins to develop underwater before blossoming on the surface. Things are born, take shape and begin to grow in the darkness of the subconscious. By the time they rise to awareness, they are no longer in their early stage but have almost reached completion, because they have already been in motion for a long time. In the same way, my words awaken in your deepest being a presence, a spiritual entity, which will one day emerge, like the lotus flower, to blossom above water.
