[Sharing Lights]

Daily Meditation for this 2006-07-02.

"The greatest revelations about the universe and about ourselves come to us from the sun.

That is why, if you truly want to
educate yourself, you must address yourself to the sun.

Look at it and ask it questions about the origin and nature of its light and warmth, and it will answer you.



And by means of thought, you can also project yourself into the sun where your higher Self has its dwelling. While you are here below on earth, you are also on high in the sun.

And since it is there in the sun that your true Self exists, try to identify
with it. When you feel you have succeeded, glance down at this being who is also you. A link will be established between you and the sun, a kind of magic circle, a current which you will experience as a life-giving wave that purifies and enlightens you."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov




"Human beings are so unaccustomed to using their God-given psychic and spiritual faculties that they have no idea what to do when they see the sun rising.

They soon start yawning with boredom.

They are tired of watching that brilliant sphere in the sky.

So they leave the sun and go to take care of more tangible, more important things!...

What is so extraordinary is that many people, finding themselves by chance in front of the rising sun, acknowledge that it is one of the most beautiful sights one can see, but that does not mean they are ready to make an effort to renew the experience.

Yes, how many would feel impelled to get up early to greet the dawn, to welcome that light into their hearts and souls so that the whole day may be luminous and pure?"

"The ego is the ultimate black hole.

It sucks in light but emits none.

The Sun is the exact opposite of the ego.

It ceaselessly bestows life upon the world. Its life is a true sacrifice.

This secret message was clearly understood by the ancient rishis."

"You will understand how important it is for you to receive these particles of sunlight that vibrate with such intensity, so that your etheric body may become strong and radiant and safe from attack by disorder, illness or dicouragement of any kind."

"In your thought, with your imagination, try to draw some of these divine particles [of the Sun] into yourself.

In this way, little by little, you will completely regenerate all the materials of your being.
Thanks to the Sun you will think and act as a child of God."

"When we focus our attention on the sun, the centre of our universe, we draw closer to our own centre, our higher self, the sun within; we melt into it and begin to resemble it more and more."

"The world needs more and more human beings capable of dedicating themselves to this work with the sun, for only love and light are capable of transforming humanity."

"You go and watch the sunrise for your morning meditation, but you will not gain a great deal from this exercise if you do not prepare yourself; possibly the night before, but certainly from the moment you set off before dawn you must hold firmly in your head and in your heart the belief that you will not just assist but also participate in this incredible event taking place in the universe.[...] You will say that the sun will always rise, whether you are there to watch it or not.

Yes, you are right, the sun does not need you to rise in the morning.

It is important for you, however, because there is a connection between the events that occur in nature and those of your inner life."

"When you are watching the sun rise, wait, watchful and attentive, for the first ray and as soon as the first ray appears, concentrate on absorbing it, swallowing it.

So instead of simply watching the sunrise, you are drinking it, you are eating it, and you imagine that this living light spreads through all the cells of your organs, purifying them, strengthening them and enlivening them.

This exercise not only helps you concentrate, but you will feel your entire being quiver and illuminate because you are truly absorbing light"


"Light is the true beverage of immortality and you can catch this light in the morning at sunrise and use it to nourish your subtle bodies."

"If you are able to watch the sun with a free, clear mind you will feel that you are entering into contact with it, with its spirit,
and that you are absorbing its rays, like so many seeds of life."

"Prana is a great river flowing from the sun and, by meditation and breathing exercises, we can obtain all the elements we need from it."

"In a dream, the sun which is rising can announce, for example: the end of a grave disease (return of health), or blooming, the arrival of a prosperous situation, etc."

"The sunset (which is announcing night herald or darkness) represents: loss of consciousness, disease and death.
It connects usto the destructive forces of decline and death.

That is why it is not recommended to contemplate sunset."

"The nearer you get to the sun in spirit, soul, and thought, with your heart and will, the nearer you will be to God, for on the physical plane, the sun is the symbol and the tangible representative of the Deity."

Aïvanhov was always careful to emphasize, however,
that the sun should not be worshipped as God:

"God must always be sought above and beyond forms."

"God is utterly ineffable, beyond our powers of conception; there is no question
of thinking the sun is God."

"So, when you are gazing at the sun, try to sense that you are gazing
at God's most perfect representative on earth.

This sensation will contribute to raising the vibrations of your
being to a higher level.

All the elements will be exalted in you; you will be launched into
the farthest regions of space, and even the notion of time will be abolished.

Like God, you will be living in eternity."
