| Trials of initiation take place in everyday life, the -
"Nowadays, rites of initiation no longer take place in temples but in life. It is now life that puts us through the trials of the four elements, which are the trials of matter. When man was cast out of paradise for having disobeyed the Lord, he lost his power over matter – symbolically represented by the four elements. In order to regain this power, he must learn to control his physical body (earth), his feelings (water), his thoughts (air), and master his sexual energy (fire).
But is it still of any use to talk to human beings about mastering their sexual energy? Increasingly, all the rules in this area are being flouted; young people and adults think only of stupidly wasting this force, this quintessence, which is a condensation of sacred fire. And in so doing, they allow sickness and death to penetrate them insidiously." |

| What Is a Spiritual Master |
|
| "
You ask by what criteria you can recognize a true spiritual
master. It is very simple: a spiritual master must fulfil at
least three conditions. First, he must possess knowledge of the
essential, which is to say, not what human beings have written,
created or recounted, but knowledge that is essential according
to initiatic Science. Secondly, a master must be able to govern
and control everything within himself. Someone who is not able
to bring peace and harmony to the workings of his inner life can
always arrange to be called ‘master’, but he is not one, and this
title he does not merit will only serve to make him look
ridiculous. Nature does not recognize human diplomas; she awards
diplomas only to those who possess the science of the essential
and have learnt to master themselves. ‘And the third criteria?’
you ask. This concerns a quality which is even more difficult to
acquire: the ability to dedicate this science and self-mastery to
the service of love, for the good of the entire world.
