‘Working according to the laws of wisdom and the methods of love – that is the programme', said Master Peter Deunov. Wisdom indicates the ideal we must work towards, and this grand programme will keep us occupied for all eternity. To achieve it, we ...

Life often presents us with people we find disagreeable. From a spiritual perspective, such people represent a kind of raw matter that our mouth (symbolically speaking) finds difficult to take in. But if we have love's warmth and wisdom's light ...
Symbolically, wisdom, love and truth form a triangle, with each side connecting the other two. Wisdom unites love and truth. It gives love the power to revitalize our life, and it gives truth the power to free us whatever the circumstances.Love ...
When human beings stray from the ways of wisdom and love, the cells in every one of their organs suffer the consequences – they no longer have the same vitality. They are as if discouraged, so that when illness arises they are unable to fight it. A ...
What is wisdom? Gold – gold from the sun. Yes, wisdom, spiritual gold, comes from the sun. You can buy anything in the soul and spirit world with this gold, just as on earth you can buy anything you want with physical gold. When you go to the shops ...
Contrary to what many imagine, wisdom is neither sad nor morose, because, in wisdom, true wisdom, there is also love – the heart and the mind work together. The sage's lamp does more than cast the cold light of the rational mind, spotting and ...
The difference between true knowledge and book knowledge is the same as that between gold and banknotes. The notes are not always worth much; they may even lose all their value following political or social unrest, whereas gold never loses its value,...
What a reputation for knowledge and wisdom king Solomon gained in his time! And yet, what did he say? ‘Much wisdom, much sadness. More knowledge, more pain.' Which shows that wisdom and knowledge do not necessarily make us happy. In fact, in the ...
Whatever the wise may tell them, human beings want to experience things for themselves, and they do just that. Some time later, when they have been badly treated and disappointed by life, they finally understand and then want others to benefit from ...
Wisdom shows us the upward path, for we do not acquire sound knowledge by staying down, close to the ground. If you want to see what is happening in the valley, you must climb to the top of the hill. Up there, not only can you see but you are ...
‘Working according to the laws of wisdom and the methods of love – that is the programme', said the Master Peter Deunov. Wisdom indicates the ideal we must aim for, and this programme will occupy us for all eternity. To achieve it, we must adopt the ...
You recite, ‘Lord, I love your wisdom, I have faith in your love, I trust in your power', but have you really looked into the meaning of this prayer? When you say to the Lord, ‘I love your wisdom', your love meets God's wisdom, and you attract it to ...
Some circus acts have a lot to teach us because of the ways they resemble the battles humans must win in their inner life: taming tigers, lions and panthers, making bears and elephants dance, jumping through flaming hoops, juggling, leaping into ...
The seraphim, cherubim and thrones belong to the triad of Kether, Chokmah and Binah. They are, therefore, in direct contact with God himself. The seraphim are the spirits of his love, the cherubim the spirits of his wisdom and the thrones the ...
Love and wisdom are the two foundations of the psychic life. Like heat, love expands consciousness, and like light, wisdom illuminates it. On the screen of your consciousness, an image may be large but blurred, or it may be very precise but very ...
Life never fails to present us with people we find unpleasant and irritating. From the spiritual point of view, such beings represent a kind of raw material which our mouths, symbolically speaking, have difficulty swallowing. But if within us we ...
Innumerable entities in the divine world are busy preparing the conditions for our success and happiness, but we do not want to recognise their work. Why? Because what happens in our lives is different from what we have imagined or expected. But if ...
Unlike our instincts, which have developed over thousands of years in humans, the powers of reason and wisdom, having manifested more recently in them, are not yet solidly embedded. In fact, wisdom came before all other manifestations, but since it ...
Heat and cold, love and wisdom – how must these two manifestations alternate? Someone who works with heat (love) must also work with cold (wisdom), and vice-versa. Thus by passing from one pole to the other, not only do they maintain their ...
If it is so difficult to define truth, it is because it does not exist as such: only wisdom and love exist. It is human beings' behaviour that reveals whether they live in the truth, not the theories they present to others. As for those who claim to ...
There are two methods you can use to progress: love and wisdom. If you meet people who possess these virtues that you yourself have not yet been able to develop sufficiently, instead of avoiding them because you feel they offend you, draw near to ...
Certain tendencies are deeply-rooted in human beings, while others must be constantly stimulated through education, by rules imposed upon them or that are self-imposed, as well as through studies and through prayer. Humans do not need to be prodded ...
Suppose that during a conversation with your boss or a colleague, you were not really paying attention and you let slip a few unfortunate words. Well that does it, the relationship is finished, you are fired, and then there are lawsuits, expenses ...
Over hundreds and even thousands of years, instincts have had plenty of time to develop and to become entrenched in human beings. Whereas intelligence, reasoning and wisdom, which appeared in them much more recently, are still very fragile. In ...
To have a good understanding of fire, we must also understand air, for air and fire complement each other. Air, with its coolness, has a regulating power over fire. We find the same phenomenon within ourselves. How? We are travellers, journeying ...
Most people think that when they reach a certain age, their faculties will inevitably decline. Not only will they lose their teeth and hair along with the use of their legs, arms, eyes and ears, but they will also lose their memory and even their ...
If you want heaven to notice your existence and begin to sustain and help you, you must become rich. ‘How can I become rich?' you ask. By working to acquire gold. In the symbolism of initiatic science, gold* represents understanding and wisdom, and ...
We must work according to the laws of wisdom and the methods of love. Love and wisdom can be compared to the hands of a clock: wisdom is the small hand that marks the hours, and love is the big hand that marks the minutes. Wisdom shows us the high ...
