Initiatic teaching - each one should become the artisan of his future

10/07/2004

An initiatic teaching gives us every means possible to improve our future incarnations. Anyone who does not understand the usefulness of such a teaching not only fails to make improvements but risks losing the few advantages he already has. Take the example of a rich man: if he is content to use his fortune for his own private benefit, he will have to face the greatest material difficulties when he comes back in another incarnation. He will not even know that he was very rich in the past, and that he is now very poor because he did nothing for others with his money and possessions. And this does not apply only to his fortune; the same law applies in all other realms such as intelligence, beauty, and physical and psychic health. So many human beings come into the world handicapped because they did not know about this one essential truth of initiatic science: they themselves are the artisans of their future!
