Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, ‘The Meaning of Life’

The “Meaning of Life”

 
The ‘meaning of life’ lies in the quest for something eternally unachievable: divine perfection. For only the impossible is real, and what is furthest from us is in fact closest to us. This would seem to be absurd, but it isn’t, for things are not as we see
them.

Those who reach for the unachievable, the perfection of God, remembering that they were created in his image, are the ones who live in reality. Since they have placed the Creator at the center of their life, he takes part in what they do, in everything they bring into being.

He is present in their every thought and feeling. They were thinking it was impossible to meet God, to become one with him, but in fact this meeting, this union, happens every day, without their even realizing it!

Every day, they grow in faith, hope and love; every day, light and peace increase within them.”

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (1900, Srpci, Macedonia – 1986, Fréjus, France) was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, alchemist, mystic, magus and astrologer. He was a disciple of Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno), the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Life

At the age of 17, after a childhood full of deprivation, he met Master Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood in Bulgaria. In 1937 Deunov entrusted him with bringing his teaching to France. During the next 49 years, up to his death, he developed the teaching of the Universal White Brotherhood, giving more than 5000 lectures.

He taught mainly in France, but also traveled a great deal, in Switzerland, Canada, the US, the UK and Scandinavia. His works (44 pocketbooks and 32 complete works) are based on his lectures, which were recorded either in shorthand or on audio/video tape. They are published & distributed by Prosveta-Canada.
