Universal knowledge - only an initiatic teaching enables to rediscover it within ourselves

07/21/2005

Although it is clear that man’s knowledge is very limited, in the depths of his consciousness, unbeknownst to him, he is the repository of all knowledge in the universe. This knowledge is buried very deep within him and remains there, inert, because the conditions in which it can appear and express itself have not yet been provided. You may say: ‘But how did this come to be?’ Oh, it’s a very long story. Since he left the womb of the Eternal to descend into matter, the human being has travelled the width and breadth of time and space. Often for him this has only amounted to some adventures and dramatic episodes, over the course of which he has experimented and gained new knowledge, but he has also lost a great deal of the light and knowledge he originally possessed. To be more precise, this original knowledge has gradually been covered over by an accumulation of opaque layers. In order to regain possession of this knowledge, certain conditions are required, and only an initiatic teaching will enable him to find them.
