In time, religions tend to become materialistic: they give increasing importance to form, and the spirit which once animated them is eventually lost. Of course, humans are not ready to live solely in the spirit, in principles; they need to rely on material forms. But God has not given eternity to form. After a while, each form becomes old and must be replaced. Forms are always necessary, in any realm, but they cannot be made to last indefinitely. This is why heaven periodically sends initiates, sages, great Masters, to change the religious forms, but only the forms, never the principles. The principles are unchanging and are the same in all of humanity’s great religions: love, wisdom, truth, freedom, sacrifice. Such principles are unchanging and apply for all eternity. The universe is governed by principles; these principles can be likened to the numbers 0 to 9, which make up every numerical combination. Principles, like the first ten numbers, are given once and for all, but no one can predict the countless combinations they can produce, as these are infinite. And that is what we have to learn and accept: the new combinations, the new forms engendered over time by the principles, which, themselves, are eternal. In every realm, movement is the law of life. It is therefore a big mistake for religions to want to maintain forms forever. Only principles are eternal, and forms – even those of a religion – have to evolve. "We must not reject the heritage bequeathed to us by the great spirits of the past. On the contrary, we must meditate on it and immerse ourselves in it. But this does not mean that we should conform to their philosophy in every detail. It is the principles which must be preserved, because they are eternal. As for the forms, they follow the law of life and therefore can and in fact must evolve. It is because this law is not well understood that many misunderstandings occur. Some people, in their desire to reject forms they find outmoded, reject the principles as well. And others preserve the old forms because they confuse them with the principles. As a result, those who reject the principles no longer have a compass with which to orientate themselves, and those who cling to the forms become rigid. You may ask: ‘But which principles should be preserved?’ All those which emphasize the pre-eminence of the spirit, of goodness, generosity, love, purity, and sacrifice. It hardly matters which forms you use to apply them: in this you are free to choose!" "The worship of saints is in itself a good thing; no one can be blamed for worshipping statues, icons or relics, or for praying and kneeling before them. But people should be fully aware of what these images and relics actually represent. If you pray before an image, it is not the image itself that will help and protect you: it will only put you in touch with the entity it represents. This in itself is a lot, as many things are then possible, but you must still be aware that the image or object is only a form. In religion, forms are useful, necessary even, but you must not stop there. Always look for the principle beyond the form, and link in to it to acquire all its qualities. This is the only way your prayers will be answered." Continue to read: Principles and Forms [link to www.google.ch (secure)] |
