“Initiatic science teaches us that we live our lives immersed in the ocean of fluidic matter known as astral light. This fluid is so sensitive that it bears the record of everything that occurs in the universe; the most insignificant gesture, the slightest, the most superficial emotion, every floating thought that goes through our minds are all recorded. According to esoteric tradition, astral light is an extremely subtle substance emanated by all creatures, from human beings, animals, plants, to the rocks of the earth and even the stars in the heavens.”

“And as each planet has not only its own particular color but also its own musical note (C – do belongs to Saturn, D – re belongs to Jupiter, E – mi to Mars, F – fa to the Sun, G – sol to Venus, A – la to Mercury and B – si to the Moon), the symphony of sounds varies with each hour of the day because of the successive presents of different spirits. Through their song, the planets create the music that fills the vastness of space and is known as the music as the spheres. Through meditation and contemplation we can perceive this planetary angelic symphony. Animated by the songs of the angels, the universe lives, breathes and nourishes itself.”

“The Age of Aquarius-Leo will be the age of love and wisdom, and to a certain extent, truth. But the real Age of Truth will come later with the sixth and seventh races, when humankind has achieved the perfect synthesis of love and wisdom; then truth will be established in all fullness.”
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov ~ The Zodiac, Key to Man and to the Universe p 31
“The human being is to be found in the universe, and the universe in the human being. Therefore it is not an anthropomorphism when, in my Esoteric Science, I present the evolution of universe hand in hand with the evolution through Saturn, Sun, Moon and so on. Universal evolution is presented and human evolution is presented because the further we delve into the mysteries of existence the more do the universe and the human being merge; and we are shown ever more clearly that the separation we have envisioned existing in our earthly life between the universe and the human being is actually an illusion; that the human being belongs to the universe and the universe to the human being, and the human being is to be found in the universe and the universe in the human being.”

“Those who have several planets in the sign of Aquarius are particularly well prepared to pick up the new waves coming from the constellation: they are innovators and inventors. Aquarius is responsible for all the recent psychic and esoteric discoveries and, especially, for the new ideas of community and sisterhood/brotherhood. In the new age, everybody is going to have to take the idea of sisterhood/brotherhood and universality seriously and work to apply it.
The Pisces Age was that of Christianity; the characteristics of the Christian religion, abnegation and sacrifice, are exactly those of Pisces. Before the Pisces Age it was the Age of Aries, which saw the development of the religion of Moses, and, before that again, the Age of Taurus, with the Egyptian and Babylonian religions. With the coming of Aquarius and its polar opposite, Leo, a new era is dawning, that of true knowledge.”

“… you know that the planets, the heavenly bodies, perform certain movements round themselves and other heavenly bodies. Why does this happen? The movement of the earth around its own axis has not always existed. Why did it start occurring? Because in their present stage of development human beings require the alternation between day and night, sleeping and waking. The macrocosm is most intimately connected with the microcosm; life is regulated by the dividing up of time. It was quite different at the ancient Moon stage. Time was divided up quite differently. There was an altogether different alternation between day and night, for the ancient Moon carried out quite different movements. The beings controlling these movements today prepared these movements in their own life, for behind these movements there are spiritual beings; they are the deeds of spiritual beings. One day human beings will recognize the deep wisdom in these movements.”
“ The angels and archangels are regulators of our evolution. The forces that work from incarnation to incarnation, that drive human beings forward so that they do not mummify, are the regulators of the future periods of rotation of Jupiter. Spirits of this kind, who are above human beings and regulate human life, are therefore called ‘spirits of periods of rotation’, because their deeds will come to expression at a later time in the periods of revolution of heavenly bodies. In the way in which the stars move today you can see the results of what higher beings did in their time, and in present-day humanity you can already detect future periods of rotation. If we learn to observe cosmic space in this way then it becomes filled with tremendous spiritual life.”

“Before incarnating on earth, humans have already worked to fashion their physical body, that physical that is none other than the caduceus of Hermes, with the currents running down from the left and right hemispheres of the brain and crossing at the level of the organs. Human beings are the fruit of their combined work of will and imagination, of spirit and soul, which has been given material form on the physical plane. And since each is a caduceus of Hermes, they have the power to create in the three worlds. For the time being they create only on the physical plane, but they have to learn to create in the other world also.”
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov ~ The Zodiac, Key to Man and to the Universe p 139-140
“Are human beings perhaps able to perceive the sense organs of angels? Where are these? They not only exist but are perceptible to human beings. Only human beings do not know this. You will be able to understand what the sense organs of angels are if I tell you that a human being possesses as part of himself two eyes for seeing the mineral world, but that he does not perceive his eyes directly as part of himself. Our sense organs are there for perceiving with, but do not perceive themselves. The same applies to the angels and the mineral world. Their sense organs are to be found in the mineral, physical world, but they do not perceive this world itself. Our precious stones are the angels’ sense organs! Precious stones are the secret instrument with which angels perceive. So these organs are in the mineral world. Just as human beings have a sense of feeling, a sense of touch, these beings also have a feeling sense, and this comes to expression in chalcedony, and their sense of sight in chrysolite. They do not perceive the mineral world because their sense organs are there. In peoples of ancient times we even find a dim consciousness of this; they attributed different forces to the various precious stones. These forces are there because of the presence of angels in them.”

“We must never give up in our effort to become perfect because, even though we may not succeed, it is our efforts that justify us in sight of heaven. Heaven will never blame us for not succeeding: it is the effort that counts and that depends only on ourselves. When the heavenly powers see that we keep trying, they will decide to give us all we ask for, and joy, light, beauty and freedom will pour down on us. These gifts will be specially chosen to suit the character and structure of those who ask for them; they will be adapted to their affinities and the work they have already accomplished, as well as to their needs as regards their further evolution. Like fish in the sea, all human beings will receive these gifts from the cosmic ocean and draw from them the elements they need to form their skin, their finery and their intelligence.
It would be possible to explore more aspects of this subject and study, for example the correspondences between the twelve signs of the zodiac and the twelve precious stones that formed the foundation of the New Jerusalem, or the twelve apostles. But, for today, be content with these few revelations; they already give you immense possibilities for your spiritual work.”

“Initiatic science teaches us that we live our lives immersed in the ocean of fluidic matter known as astral light. This fluid is so sensitive that it bears the record of everything that occurs in the universe; the most insignificant gesture, the slightest, the most superficial emotion, every floating thought that goes through our minds are all recorded. According to esoteric tradition, astral light is an extremely subtle substance emanated by all creatures, from human beings, animals, plants, to the rocks of the earth and even the stars in the heavens. It is this fluidic matter that Hermes Trismegistus refer to as telesma, saying: “Its father is the sun, its mother, the moon. The wind carried in its womb; the earth is its nurse”. Of course, we should not think that the sun (fire), moon (water), wind (air) and earth of which Hermes speaks are no more than the four material elements familiar to us all: he is speaking of the fundamental cosmic principles from which all matter was created.”

INVOCATION AT SUNRISE.
August 22, 1958, is the day when OMRAAM MIKHAËL AÏVANHOV consecrated the Universal White Brotherhood to the sun, at the Rocher, the Prayer Rock in Fréjus, France.
The Master rises before the sun, asks the brothers and sisters to rise, and with a moving, vibrating and prophetic voice while facing the sun, he invokes the sun and pronounces the invocation:
“KAES! KAES! KAES!”
“O Sun! You who are the representative of God on earth, listen to me. I present to you my children that I have prepared for years… Vivify them, purify them, protect them, that their whole life they may be filled with Your Light in order that they may work to serve humanity, for the glory of God!
I also present to You those who are absent and also those who will come afterwards into the Brotherhood. We come to You as a lover to his Beloved, You are Love, Light, Life! “
Furthermore: “I have consecrated you to this Solar Intelligence. The most wonderful Beings live there. Their rays are their auras! I have connected you especially with the Sun so that you may know Him and work with Him. The Sun must find in you his abode, the Holy Trinity, Life, Warmth, Light… The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit!
The Sun is the most intelligent creature in our solar system, and the ties I have formed between Him and you have been accepted! The Sun knows you. The Princes of the Four Elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire were present today! All those who have gone through this experience have received a friend who accompanies them, advises them and helps them; Heaven is waiting, heaven is rich, and invites you into events and experiences. Within you, you will see the New Life pulsating, and you will feel that you are a new being!”
