Spiritual exercises

They are beneficial if they are done in the light of a teaching

December 17th 2026
Spiritual exercises are nothing much in themselves. They become truly effective and beneficial only if they are done in the light of a teaching that gives disciples knowledge about the invisible world, the different beings that inhabit it, the laws that govern it, and the forces that flow through it. And more important still is that disciples should learn how human beings are built, and which organs and spiritual centres within them allow them to communicate with the luminous regions of space. But even that is not enough. Once disciples possess this knowledge, they must decide to change their way of living, to give up activities that are in contraction with the aims of Initiatic Science.
That is what is essential. When you take this into consideration, you will no longer limit yourself to an intellectual understanding of spirituality; you will gain true understanding, the understanding that floods your whole body, right to the very last cell. Every exercise will then be effective and beneficial for you.
