Learning to Read and Write

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov




Human beings learn to read and write in all the languages of the world, except the language of Nature. And yet it is the only one worth knowing.

For an Initiate, to read means to be able to decipher the subtle, secret dimensions of objects and of all living creatures, to interpret the signs and symbols traced by Cosmic Intelligence on every page of the great Book of the Universe. And to write is to put one's mark on that book, to act upon minerals and plants, animals and men, by the magic power of one's spirit. So it is not only on paper that we have to learn to read and write, but in all regions of the universe.

Wherever you tread, whatever you touch, you leave behind you a trace, an imprint which may be beneficial or it may be harmful. Some people are so full of venom that, as the saying goes, ‘the grass will never grow again where they have trod': this is no exaggeration. There are others, on the contrary, who are so bent on helping and liberating their fellow human beings, on bringing life, light and warmth to all creatures, that they leave imprints of great power for good which influence all those who come after them.

Knowing the existence and the potency of these phenomena, I have conducted many an interesting experiment. Whenever I travel on the seas and oceans of the world, for instance, I make contact with the powers which govern these regions, imploring them to be favourable to all those who sail across their waters or bathe along their beaches and to give them the graces of brotherliness and divine light. I write out certain formulae and throw the messages into the sea, and as the creatures of these regions are very advanced, very highly conscious and sensitive beings, I know that my messages are well received and acted upon. We are all capable of changing things in the world but if we want to understand how to set about it, we have to be conscious of the more subtle dimensions of matter.

So, wherever you go, think of doing something positive by your power of thought, for when you do so the thousands of intelligent creatures who surround you will be aware of it. You may say, ‘But I can't see these creatures.’ That is no argument; they do exist. And if you learn to work with the invisible, subtler dimensions of reality you will be capable of producing wonderful changes for the better throughout the entire world. This law is as true as any of the laws of physics and chemistry. The room in which you live, its walls and all the furniture and other objects in it, bear fluidic traces of your presence, and if a highly sensitive medium were to come and see you and touch some object in your room, he would be able to feel and describe to you, in detail, all that has ever occurred in that room.

Even with a single hair from your head a clairvoyant can give you a detailed description of your character and health, your vices and virtues. How is it possible that all this can be recorded in one hair? Well, it is. That is all I can say. But people with such astonishing gifts of mediumship are very rare nowadays. In the past, magicians prepared extremely powerful talismans, thanks to their understanding of these influences. But over the course of centuries human beings have more and more lost touch with the invisible world.
