  • Published in HINDUISM TODAY, October 1998
    Published in HINDUISM TODAY, October 1998 Solar-Powered Seer Gnostic Master of Surya Yoga spread the Sun's divine powers throughout France By Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D. In this Deepavali month, it is appropriate that we honor a man of light. For thousands of years, pious Hindus have recited the GayatriUSE mantra in praise of Savitri, the quickening aspect of the life-giving Sun. In our own time, this ancient solar teaching has had a most ardent and convincing spokesman in the person of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. The Bulgarian- born European master made the life-bestowing solar being the focus of his whole life and teaching. Mainstream Christians denounced him, for Aivanhov was a follower of Gnosticism, a pre-Christian Pagan, Jewish and early Christian esoteric tradition regardedCOMMERCIAL as heresy by many orthodox. Over the centuries, European mystics have often turned to the syncretic Gnostic theology as a systORem within which to expound their realizations. Aivanhov was born in 1900 in the village of Serbtzy in Macedonia, a small Balkan country justRESALE north of Greece. He early on became fascinated with spiritual matters. At the age of sixteen, he was plunged into a state of ecstasyFOR in which he experienced everything bathed in, and suffused with, light--an experience that left a lasting mark on his understandingNOT of the nature of existence. Aivanhov had learned Hindu philosophy and yoga through the books of "Swami Ramacharaka"--pen name of the erudite American writer William Walker Atkinson--published at the turn of the century. Aivanhov's yoga without a guru's guidance proved hazardous.

In 1937 he moved to France, where he lived and taught for almost fifty years until his death. One of the most striking aspects of the Master’s teaching is the enormous variety of ways in which he presents the one central theme of man and his growth in perfection. Whatever the question under discussion, it is invariably dealt with in terms of how man can better conduct his life. The collected works of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov are essentially comprised of thousands of lectures and improvised talks which were taken down in shorthand or recorded on audio tape and video cassette. New books continue to be published, and to date amount to 80 volumes in French, some of which have been translated into more than 30 languages.

Entre 1938 et 1985, il a donné en France un enseignement spirituel sur la Lumière, dans la lignée de l’ésotérisme chrétien de la tradition johannite, du transcendantalisme, de la kabbale, du zoroastrisme, de l’hindouisme et du bouddhisme. En 1960, au retour d’un voyage d’un an en Inde, il a élaboré le concept de laser spirituel en transposant par analogie la découverte récente du physicien américain Theodore Maiman en une pratique de méditation individuelle et collective sur la Lumière spirituelle qui aurait pour objectif d’éveiller les consciences

  • The Essene Tradition Across the Ages.Indd
    THE ESSENE TRADITION ACROSS THE AGES by Rev. Guilhem Raphael, Essene Minister THE ESSENE TRADITION CROSS THE GES A A he Essene Tradition goes back to Enoch, its Founding Father. It is born from the Covenant of this uncommon being, and then of an entire people, with the Divine world, several Ttens of thousands of years ago, when humanity had fallen from the original world. This Tradition lived on in an uninterrupted manner, passing from one Master to another, bringing the Light of wisdom to all the peoples, over the centuries. The Essene Tradition is also called the Primordial Tradition as it is it that created all great civilizations and spiritual movements that gave the world all that is beautiful, true and sacred. It is through its uninterrupted Covenant with the Divine world that it could radiate the Light among all traditions of the peoples, bringing the essential knowledge to a lost humankind. Embark now on a journey to discover the fabulous history of the Essenes across the ages, under the guidance and benevolence of the great Masters of their Tradition, from Enoch to Olivier Manitara. Enoch (more than 30,000 B.C.) Acknowledged under different names in the sacred texts of all peoples’ traditions as the fi rst man who recovered from the Fall of humanity, Enoch is the one who brought the Light of Divine knowledge to a world in perdition, a prisoner of the darkness of ignorance, unable to fi nd a way out. Thus Enoch appeared as the fi rst Messiah; besides, the Master Jesus himself would identify his line of descent from Enoch.

  • Editorial Master List Alex Burns ([email protected]), 1999—2002
    1 Disinformation® Editorial Master List Alex Burns ([email protected]), 1999—2002 Comment (21st November 2007) I first heard of the US-based subculture site Disinformation® when RU Sirius profiled Richard Metzger for a 1997 issue of Australia’s 21C Magazine. When 21C ceased publication in 1998 Metzger suggested I write for Disinfo. I became the site’s editor in November 1999 when Metzger began pre-production and shooting the Disinfo Nation television series for the United Kingdom’s Channel 4. “The Internet can be like a black hole,” he warned me in an email. For the next several years Disinfo ran a popular ‘webzine’ with dossier profiles of forbidden knowledge, current socio-political issues and subcultural icons. Publisher Gary Baddeley and I worked with a variety of writers including Sara Aronson, Nick Mamatas and Preston Peet. But by 2002 the dotcom bubble had burst, the pre-millennial tension had ebbed, the September 11 terrorist attacks had occurred, and I was fast approaching editorial burnout. Disinfo’s Russ Kick took over editing the site before establishing his influential Alternewswire and Memory Hole projects. When I returned to the editorial helm, we soon had a new site version and a “day’s best links” format. In 2007 we launched a user-driven version that enabled fresh fever from the skies. During the ‘classic’ era Disinformation attracted both praise and criticism—often from the same person. Our fans understood that Metzger and I both drew on diverse sources for Disinformation’s editorial philosophy such as Jello Biafra’s injunctive to “become the media”, Noam Chomsky and Edward S.
