Exercises, Spiritual - conditions for their effectiveness

05/12/2016

Spiritual exercises are nothing much in themselves. They become truly effective and beneficial only if they are carried out in the light of a teaching that gives knowledge about the invisible world – about the different beings that live in it, the laws that govern it, the forces that move through it. And it is even more important to know what goes to make up a human being, what subtle organs and centres allow them to contact the regions in space. But even that is not enough. Anyone who has received this knowledge must decide to change the way they live, to sacrifice those activities or habits that are in contradiction to the aims of Initiatic Science. That is the most essential thing; you must take it into consideration. The moment you stop limiting yourself to an intellectual understanding of spirituality, you will start gaining true understanding, the understanding that floods your whole body, right to the tiniest cell. Each exercise will then have true significance for you, and it will bring you strength.
