The book of revelations

« A great many scholars have given us their interpretation of the Apocalypse, but to my mind not one of them has ever understood what it is really and truly about. Why ? There are several different reasons, but the main reason is that they have failed to recognize its essential message : a description of the elements and processes that are common to our own inner life and the life of the cosmos. They have been more concerned with trying to identify the historical characters, countries and events portrayed in it.

I too have interpreted some passages from the Apocalypse for you, but you can not benefit from what I tell you if you have never worked or made an effort to acquire the true foundations of the spiritual life. It is not enough to understand these symbols intellectually, you must be able to make them come alive within you. As long as this preliminary work of purification, self-control, and inner ascent has not been done, the marvels of the Apocalypse will remain a closed book to you. » Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
