BIOGRAPHIE
EXTRAITSOmraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov naît à l'aube du vingtième siècle dans le petit village de Serbtzi, en Macédoine. C'est le 31 janvier 1900, il est passé minuit, et le premier chant des coqs annonce la lumière d'un jour nouveau. (...)Omraam Mikhaël était l'un de ces êtres épris de Dieu, capables de canaliser toutes leurs énergies pour atteindre les cimes de l'expérience spirituelle. À quinze ans, pour la première fois, il avait fait l'ascension de cette montagne mystérieuse où l'on peut rencontrer le monde divin. Il avait failli y mourir de bonheur, mais il en était redescendu. Et s'il en était redescendu, c'était parce qu'il savait, déjà à cette époque, qu'il avait une tâche à accomplir, et que la plus grande félicité ne pourrait jamais l'en distraire. C'est dailleurs ce qu'il disait à propos de cette extase qu'il avait connue à dix-sept ans au cœur de la musique des sphères : « Cest la peur qui m'a fait revenir, non pas la peur de mourir, mais de ne plus pouvoir revenir travailler sur la terre. Si vous avez une tâche sur la terre, il faut l'entreprendre. Je ne pouvais pas y renoncer. »On l'appelait maintenant Maître, et si on le désignait ainsi, ce n'était pas parce qu'il avait appris à dominer ses semblables, mais plutôt parce qu'on pouvait constater chez lui ce contrôle de soi qui ne s'obtient qu'après des années d'efforts assidus. Il avait commencé très tôt ce travail de perfectionnement que tous sont appelés à faire sur eux-mêmes. En traversant une grande partie des difficultés que connaissent tous les êtres humains, il les avait utilisées comme des instruments pour se transformer et se perfectionner.Après son séjour en Inde, il lui arrivera de parler des grands Maîtres qui, après avoir acquis la maîtrise personnelle, ont préféré vivre dans la solitude plutôt que de rester avec la famille humaine, à laquelle lui-même était si profondément attaché. Il ne cessait de penser à ses frères et à ses sœurs, à ces hommes et à ces femmes, à ces enfants qu'il souhaitait prendre par la main, fraternellement, afin de les guider vers les sommets de leur être, de les aider à comprendre leur rôle dans la société, dans cette immense famille dont ils font partie, et c'est pourquoi il les entretenait constamment de la vraie fraternité qui peut apporter à l'humanité un âge dor.S'il désirait les aider à se perfectionner, à trouver la joie et la paix intérieures, son but était plus vaste encore : bien au-delà des méthodes individuelles, il se préoccupait de la création d'une civilisation fraternelle, solidaire, aussi spirituelle que matérielle, axée sur les valeurs les plus élevées, et ce, pour le plus grand bien de tous.

BIOGRAPHY
EXCERPTSOmraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was born in the little village of Serbtzi in Macedonia at the dawn of the 20th century. It was in the early morning hours of January 31, 1900, as the first cockcrow announced the light of a new day. (...)Mikhaël had reached a key period of his life. He had worked long and with single-mindedness to open his mind to wisdom, to purify his heart, and to strengthen his will. He had tirelessly implored God to come and dwell within him, and now he was ready to receive the Spirit. When he spoke in later life of the illumination he received at the age of fifteen and a half, he linked it to the mystical experience triggered by the Book of Proverbs at the age of nine. This later experience, he said, was the occasion on which he took possession of himself for the second time. (...) Later, he commented: "I had never abandoned my desire to become like Buddha, like Jesus. This was still primordial in my mind and it was so beautiful that I was beside myself. To see such a being, with all those colors, all that light! He was almost invisible in the extraordinary luminosity that surrounded him. I found myself flooded with light. I was in a state of bliss, of ecstasy so immense, so powerful, that I no longer knew where I was. It was a delirious joy; it was heaven; it was the universe! Ever since then I have felt that if God were not all beauty I could not believe in him. It is beauty that remains in my mind as the one essential: neither power, nor knowledge, nor wealth, nor glory. Only beauty! (...) ...later, Mikhaël was appointed director of a college, and during the few months of this charge he was busier than ever. His methods, based on a pedagogical principle of love and patience, created once again a sincere and dynamic relationship between himself and the students. Their parents, not knowing how else to thank him, brought him cheese, nuts, and fruit. His office was often fragrant with the scent of their gifts. At the same time, however, he attracted the envy and resentment of some of the other teachers, who, unwilling to change their attitude toward their students, opposed him in different ways.Jealousy always came as a surprise to Mikhaël. He found it difficult to realize just how powerful and tenacious it could be. But in spite of his new responsibilities and endless problems of this kind, he was always full of energy and undertook to give a series of spiritual talks for the peasant population of the region, who attended in great numbers. They loved this new director who used such colorful imagery and expressive gestures, and who spoke with such humor, peppering his talks with anecdotes to illustrate his meaning. (...)The inner light he spoke of was the light of a genuine spirituality capable of transforming every human being. Light, the living spirit which bears within itself love, wisdom and truth. Although well aware that many people are not sufficiently developed spiritually to perceive the subtle reality of light, he still insisted on the necessity of concentrating on it as often as possible, of drawing it into oneself so as to refine ones perceptions and generate new vibrations in the cells.The private aspirations and inclinations of those he met did not escape him. He recognized their scale of values and often called it into question without fear of disconcerting them. His first concern was to set people in motion...On December 25, 1986, after a night in which his body had grown gradually weaker, but in full consciousness of his passage into the beyond, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov left this earth. In accordance with his express wishes, the news was delayed for three days, for he had let it be understood that he had important work to do on the invisible planes during this period, and that his body should be left in peace. (...)On December 31, a number of people gathered at the Bonfin for a last farewell. The silence was extraordinary, a silence in which each one tried to understand what his departure meant and to accept the fact of his physical absence. The room in which he lay was suffused with an extraordinary sense of life. Those present were deeply moved to see that he looked so young; it was as though he were peacefully asleep, and a very subtle perfume pervaded the air. They could not help but think of his own words about the death of great spiritual Masters: 'When they leave their physical body, their body of glory continues to be present and radiant, continues to vivify all who come in contact with it.'
