Starting the day in the right way


" Every morning, before beginning any enterprise, take the time to really center yourself through prayer and meditation. Doing so, you will be able to introduce within yourself peace and harmony, and link yourself with the Creator by consecrating unto Him, this starting day.

The essential thing, is always the beginning. It is there, at the beginning, that new forces are sparked and oriented. To act correctly, we must always begin by searching for light. At night-time, you do not rush in the darkness to take an object or start working, before doing all these things, you open a light to see things clearly, and then you start acting. Well, in any case in life, we always need to start by opening the light, in other words, to concentrate, meditate and pray in order to know how to act in the best possible way. If you do not have this light, you will go left, right, knock on many doors, but will do nothing good.

The whole day is inscribed in the direction that you give to your thoughts in the morning. Because, wether you have been vigilant or not, you clear the way or, on the contrary, block it with all sorts of useless or even, nocive things. The disciple of Initiatic science knows how he must start the day if he wants it to be useful, filled with the grace of God, in order to be able to spread this grace around him on all creatures. He knows that he must have, early in the morning, a fundemental thought around which all other thoughts will gravitate throughout the day.

If you have everyday, a precise goal, a precise orientation, a high Ideal to reach, all of your activities will, little by little, organise themselves and contribute to the realisation of this ideal. And then, even if foreign and negative thoughts and feelings try to enter your consciousness, they will be re-directed and put to the service of the divine world. They will also be obligated to go in the direction that you yourself, have chosen to take. And this is how, thanks to the fundemental elevated thought which you will have placed in your head, in your heart, during the morning, you will be able to inscribe this day in the great Book of Life.

And since everything inscribes itself, once you will have lived a wonderful day, a day of eternal life, not only will it be recorded, not only will it not die, but it will try to encourage all other days following it to be just like it. Try to at least, to live one day in the best way possible, because it is that day that will influence all the others : it will invite them to speak and convince them to be just like it, balanced, organised, luminous and harmonious.
